Chapter 473: Ambition

It's really funny to say, Luoyang, as the essence of the hinterland of the Central Plains, has few powerful gangs, as if it has been subjected to some powerful forces.

Needless to say, it is naturally the dominant Buddhist family, which suppresses the development of local gangs in Luoyang.

The Jingnian Monastery that is close at hand alone suppresses the local gangs in Luoyang, not to mention the Songshan Shaolin not far away, where the ancestral court of Zen Buddhism, Daoxin, one of the four holy monks of Buddhism, sits there, and the general Jianghu forces do not dare to act recklessly.

There are also temples such as the White Horse Temple, and the power of Buddhism in the Luoyang area is quite amazing.

In the land of Guanzhong, the power of Buddhism is also not to be underestimated, there are many large temples in the Daxingcheng area alone, and there are also the leaders of the White Dao, Cihang Jingzhai, which can be said to be monstrous.

Looking at Jiankang, the original capital of Nanchen, there are more than 700 monasteries in just one place, which is simply appalling.

The power of Buddhism is strong, no wonder Yang Guang's third expedition to Goguryeo failed, he lost control of Guanzhong and the land of Heluo, and he would worry about his own life and couldn't wait to run to Jiangdu to avoid trouble.

Nima, as long as you think about the terrorist forces of Buddhism, you will know how dangerous it is to stay in the land of Guanzhong and Heluo, and if you are not careful, you may even hang up for no reason.

Lei Hu took a thousand guards and hundreds of Jianghu experts to temporarily stationed outside Luoyang City, which made Luoyang's local gangs rarely active.

At this time, the Luoyang Gang was still just a small shrimp, and it did not reach the prestige of one of the eight gangs and ten guilds later.

But the identity of Shangguan Long, the helper, is not simple, but he is the shadow son of the Yin Kui faction, seeing the arrival of Wuhou Leihu, the first person of the Holy Gate at this time, how can he not take the initiative to come up and set the approach?

It's just a pity that the weight of the above official dragon is not even qualified to meet Wu Hou, and it is the deputy general of the pro-guard team who receives him, which is enough to give him face.

Shangguan Long was not dissatisfied with slacking off at all, on the contrary, he was quite polite and stingy.

His strength is only at the peak of the second-rate, but among the Wuhou guards he has seen, there are hundreds of good players of the same strength alone, what else is there to say?

It's too strong!

This is the most intuitive feeling in Shangguan Long's heart, Wu Hou's personal guards alone are enough to sweep the entire Heluo region, of course, excluding the forces of Buddhism.

After having a drink in the temporary barracks, Shangguan Long was in high spirits when he went back.

"The strength of Wu Hou's subordinates is really powerful, no wonder the Yellow River Gang of grandsons will collapse at the touch of a button!"

"Hey, I'm afraid that Tao Guangzu's house is so sorry that his intestines are green now, is Wu Hou also an existence he can afford to offend?"

"That is, Wu Hou is magnanimous and does not continue to pursue the offense of this guy, otherwise the Yellow River Gang is estimated to be scattered, and even Wu Hou's personal guards can't withstand it!"

“……”

Listening to the enthusiastic discussions of his subordinates, Shangguan Long's interest was also quite high.

Wu Hou is the number one master of the Holy Gate, and his relationship with the Yin Kui faction is quite good, that is, an indirect ally of the Luoyang Gang.

"It's a pity, Wu Hou can't stay in the land of Heluo for long, otherwise if he can stay for half a year, the forces of our Luoyang Gang can take the opportunity to develop well!"

When he returned to Luoyang City, Shangguan Long said with regret.

"Gang leader, how long Wu Hou can stay is not something we can control, but we can dig people up with a lot of money to fill the strength of our Luoyang Gang!"

A hall master next to him smiled: "I asked clearly, the soldiers of Wu Hou's personal guard are not easy to dig, after they stay by Wu Hou's side for a while, they can become officers and generals when they return to the army, but ordinary soldiers have been soldiers, we can find a way to dig a batch over!" ”

"You're confused, aren't you?"

Without waiting for Shangguan Long to speak, the hall master next to him said angrily: "What we want is a strong martial artist, what do we want those ordinary soldiers to do?" ”

"Yes, no matter how elite the sergeants under Wu Hou are, they will not play a big role in fighting in the rivers and lakes!"

"You know a!"

The hall master who made the suggestion said disdainfully: "I can inquire clearly, Wu Hou's personal guards are all elites drawn from ordinary sergeants!" ”

The room was silent, and all the high-level leaders of the Luoyang Gang, including Shangguan Long, went silent.

"Wu Hou's army is different from the Sui army!"

The hall master said smugly: "I don't know what Wu Hou thinks, he actually forcibly asked the sergeants to practice the iron cloth shirt and other outer martial arts in the army, and as soon as the five to ten years of military camp career is over, even the worst sergeant has the strength to enter the stream!" ”

Sizzle......

Hearing this, the top officials of the Luoyang Gang, including Shangguan Long, all gasped.

Even the weakest sergeant has the strength to enter the stream, and it is also the strength of the small leader in the Luoyang Gang, and it is also the strength of the elite small leader.

And in the Wuhou army, this is the weakest existence among the retired sergeants!

"Isn't that an exaggeration?"

Shangguan Long said in disbelief: "It's really so powerful in the future, I'm afraid that the entire southern martial arts will be in the hands of Wu Hou, right?" ”

"Helper, I've inquired about this too!"

The hall master who spoke first said proudly: "I heard that Marquis Wu is the Sui Emperor who is scruples about Guanzhong, so he did not directly unify the entire southern rivers and lakes!" ”

"But that's the case, the Iron Gate, which is composed of retired generals under Wu Hou, is now also a strong contender for the number one gang in the south!"

"Oh, it turns out that the Iron Gate is composed of retired generals under the command of Wu Hou, no wonder it has developed so rapidly and its strength has swelled so much!"

As a local snake gang in the Heluo area, although the Luoyang Gang is not a first-class gang at this time, its power is not very bad, and it naturally knows the Southern Iron Gate that has risen in recent years.

It's just that I didn't expect that the iron gate, which has risen most rapidly in the southern rivers and lakes and has a rather mysterious strength, is actually composed of retired generals under the command of Wu Hou.

If it weren't for witnessing the terrifying strength of Wu Hou's personal guards today, Shangguan Long would not have believed it even if he said it, the personal martial arts of the army sergeants under Wu Hou's command were so strong!

"Not only the Iron Gate, but also the Eagle Claw Gate and the Earth Gate all come from like this!"

Obviously, he felt that his previous words were not shocking enough, and the hall master continued to break the news: "I inquired, if it weren't for more retired generals entering the local government offices and yamen of all parties under the Hou Mansion, and some people who like to freely invite three or five friends to form a mercenary team to mix in the Wumeng, I am afraid that it would not be a problem for the three sects such as the Iron Gate to become the number one force in the world!" ”

Speaking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "The power of the Southern Buddhism Sect is also quite amazing, but it is almost difficult to breathe under the suppression of the Iron Gate and other forces, but there is a wise holy monk in the Tiantai Sect, isn't it suppressed so that it is difficult to raise his head?" ”

When it came to Buddhism, the high-level officials of the Luoyang Gang, including the gang leader Shangguan Long, suddenly became interested, which was really good news that made them all excited to hear it.

Don't look at the Buddhist forces in the Heluo area don't seem to be aggressive, that's just the appearance, the Buddhism suppresses the gangs in the Heluo area very strongly, and the lay disciples under their disciples alone make it difficult for the gangs in the Heluo area to breathe, not to mention the temples that almost all the mountains and mountains have.

The gangs on the side still have a secret relationship with the Buddhism, or they directly fall to the Buddhism, but unfortunately Shangguan Long is the shadow son of the Yin Kui faction, but he doesn't have the courage to do so.

Originally, with the strength of him and his subordinates, as well as the secret support of the Yin Kui faction, the Luoyang Gang could easily develop, and even becoming the number one gang in the Heluo area would not be a problem.

It's a pity that the suppression of Buddhism is either open or covert, so that the power of the Luoyang Gang has not been able to stretch, and it can only go back and forth between the second-rate gangs and the first-class gangs aggrievedly, not to mention how depressed it is.

Now that he heard that there was an opportunity to strengthen the strength of the gang, and he could get in touch with Wu Hou, the number one master of the Holy Gate, Shangguan Long suddenly became interested and urged: "Tell me clearly, how can we go to Wu Hou to poach people?" ”

"Just go straight to it, it's very open!"

The hall master who made a reliable suggestion smiled proudly: "Although Wu Hou has already arranged a way back for the retired sergeants, he respects the independent choice of the retired sergeants very much and does not forcibly interfere!" ”

"According to what you say, wouldn't the retired sergeants who were willing to come out to explore the rivers and lakes of Wu Hou have already been carved up by the strength of the rivers and lakes in the south?"

A hall master was puzzled: "What we can get into our hands is all unpopular people!" ”

The top officials of the Luoyang Gang, including Shangguan Long, couldn't help but roll their eyes.

The Luoyang Gang is not lacking in high-end force at this time, if more than a dozen second-rate masters come, Shangguan Long is still worried that they will take control of the Luoyang Gang by opposing the guest.

If you want to say that what the Luoyang Gang really lacks, it is still the bottom who dare to fight and dare to fight.

The men who were born in the army are definitely fierce men who dare to fight, especially in the Wuhou army, don't worry, there is the world's number one master as an example, how can it not be too bad.

"You don't know this, right, it is precisely because of the powerful retired sergeants trained by Wu Hou that those large gangs in the south dare not absorb them wantonly, who are those gangs at that time?"

The hall master who was the first to speak said smiled: "We don't have such troubles, the distance between Luoyang and the southern Wuhou is not short, so don't worry about the bias of these retired sergeants." ”

"That's a good point!"

Shangguan Long said excitedly: "This is a great opportunity to strengthen our Luoyang Gang, we can't miss it, you all have to have a snack on this matter, don't worry about giving more benefits, the most important thing is to bring in real good hands!" ”

After sending away the excited middle and high-level gangsters, Shangguan Long's mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Unexpectedly, a trip to the temporary military camp station actually gave him and the Luoyang Gang a chance to rise, but I really didn't expect it.

"Shangguan Gang Master is so happy, what good things have happened, and he also asked this seat to follow Lehehehe?"

As soon as he returned to the backyard, there was a hearty laughter in the side hall, and a man full of wealth walked out.

"President Rong, what kind of wind is blowing you!"

Shangguan Long's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed his hand.
