Chapter 31 The Death of the White Clothes XXXXI
At this time, a piece of news that made the imperial court very happy came over, and Tang Sai'er, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, was breathless. This is very good news, and it means that the only person who can check and balance the internal forces of the Sangu White Lotus Sect has finally died. Since then, there has been no hope of reconciliation within the White Lotus Sect, and the end of the White Lotus Sect is just around the corner. Not only the people in the imperial court thought so, but even the vast majority of people within the White Lotus Sect thought so. Tang Sai'er died, and the contradiction between Lu Dacheng and Fang Dahai could only be resolved by force, and those who died were all disciples of the White Lotus Sect, and it was the resources of the White Lotus Sect that were consumed. In this way, the White Lotus Sect will not only lose its former glory, but will also go to extinction.
For the sake of the future of the White Lotus Sect and the future of many disciples, a large number of grassroots disciples of the White Lotus Sect asked to sit down and negotiate. They don't want infighting, they don't want to go into decay, they want a united and strong White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect is nominally a rigorous organization, but in fact it is a loose organization that operates in its own way. Each region has its own congregation and leadership, and with the exception of the main altar and some important strongholds, in fact, the orders of the headquarters are not as good as the decisions of the local leaders in various localities. These local forces, which are independent of each other, have become the backstage of supporting the three forces, which will lead to the division within the White Lotus Sect. Now that Tang Sai'er is dead, everyone can't see the hope of the White Lotus Sect, and it affects everyone's respective interests, and everyone decides to change the status quo. At that time, the White Lotus Sect had its own altar master in the south, seven and sixty-three provinces in the north, and there was also an incense master under the altar. These altar masters and incense masters not only control the resources of the White Lotus Sect, but also have the support of the local sectarians. They often exchange letters together, especially when they encounter major and difficult events, in fact, the real decision is in the hands of these people.
For their own interests, for the sake of their lives and the lives of their families, these people have to face up to the development of this matter. Fang Dahai was already incompatible with Lu Dacheng, and Lu Dacheng also became irritable because of the seizure of power, Fang Dahai and Lu Dacheng, as well as Lu Dacheng's wife Yan Xiaoqing, were not suitable to continue to lead the White Lotus Sect. Everyone discussed and discussed, and it was decided that the old forces of the White Lotus Sect would elect a representative to serve as the leader of the White Lotus Sect. This resolution needs to be discussed by everyone, and it also needs to be agreed by the backbone of all places. Therefore, everyone agreed on a date to hold this meeting related to the future of the White Lotus Sect in a secret place. Although the major principles and policies have been decided, some details have not been implemented, which is a matter related to personal interests, so the backbone of the White Lotus Sect attending the meeting needs to discuss and compete for their own interests. In fact, the most important thing in this meeting is to redivide everyone's territory and resources, and digest the power and resources in the hands of Lu Dacheng and Fang Dahai.
And Fang Dahai and Lu Dacheng, the two sworn enemies, thought together, they didn't want their forces to be digested, so they made the same decision, that is, to use force to force all the participants to change their decisions by taking advantage of the fact that there was no public gap in the meeting. Fang Dahai thought so, Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing also thought so, the two forces secretly mobilized and decided to make trouble at the meeting. But what they didn't expect was that the meeting was a trap from the start. The old forces within the White Lotus Sect knew that Fang Dahai and Lu Dacheng would make a move, so they had been waiting for Fang Dahai or Lu Dacheng to make a move for a long time. As long as he made a move, it meant that Fang Dahai or Lu Dacheng had broken the rules of the White Lotus Sect, and there was a reason to completely eliminate these people. This is the plan of the old forces of the White Lotus Sect, that is, the "Nanying", to use the opportunity of the meeting to eliminate the two forces of the "Xiying" represented by Fang Dahai and the "old camp" represented by Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing. As long as Fang Dahai, Lu Dacheng, and Yan Xiaoqing are dead or captured, the White Lotus Sect will be the world of the old forces. When the time comes, it doesn't matter if you merge or not, the White Lotus Sect has only one general altar.
But the so-called "praying mantis catches cicadas and yellow finches are behind." "The White Lotus Sect's old forces have good intentions, but they are not the ultimate victors. As early as when they decided to convene a meeting, there were already traitors who reported the news to the imperial court. The imperial court immediately convened a meeting to decide on the next plan of action. Take advantage of the opportunity of the White Lotus Sect to convene a meeting to mobilize the army to completely eliminate the backbone of the White Lotus Sect. In order to paralyze and not arouse the people of the White Lotus Sect, the military department did not use the imperial army near the meeting place of the White Lotus Sect. All the troops participating in the battle were secretly mobilized from all over the country, and the officers who led the troops did not know the purpose and objectives of this operation, so it was difficult for the people of the White Lotus Sect to get the news to ensure that the news was not leaked.
There were about 300 representatives of the backbone of the White Lotus Sect attending the meeting, and Fang Dahai and Lu Dacheng each secretly mobilized 500 cronies to prepare for the meeting. The old forces secretly mobilized thousands of sects to assemble near the word meeting. However, they did not add up to as many as the people of the imperial court, and this time the military department sent 5,000 soldiers, not to mention the water within a radius of ten miles from the meeting place, and sent elite troops to disguise themselves as disciples of the White Lotus Sect and infiltrate the meeting place. Once chaos breaks out within the White Lotus Sect, these people will send a signal that they should work together to eliminate the people of the White Lotus Sect.
The meeting went on as usual and everything was as arranged. Soon after the meeting was held, the representatives from all over the country who attended the meeting aimed their artillery at Fang Dahai and Lu Dacheng, saying that the two of them, together with Yan Xiaoqing, were the culprits who caused the discord within the White Lotus Sect. Everyone demanded that the three of them not only hand over the power in their hands, but also publicly apologize to the disciples of the White Lotus Sect. At the first time, Lu Dacheng was dismissed from the position of temporary leader of the White Lotus Sect, and Fang Dahai and Yan Xiaoqing were also all dismissed. At this time, Fang Dahai made the first move, and Fang Dahai surrounded the participants with a few cronies. Before Fang Dahai could speak, Yan Xiaoqing and Lu Dacheng glanced at each other and made a small move. As soon as Yan Xiaoqing's gesture moved, the cronies brought by Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing immediately controlled Fang Dahai's people. It turned out that Fang Dahai's people pretended to be the subordinates of the delegates to infiltrate the meeting place, and Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing's people disguised themselves as the receptionists and subordinates of the meeting earlier, and they had already controlled the environment around the meeting.
Just when Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing thought that they had controlled the situation, Yan Xiaoqing asked everyone to re-elect Lu Da as the head of the White Lotus Sect, and Yan Xiaoqing as the official wife of the head of the White Lotus Sect, Fang Dahai first made a move against Yan Xiaoqing. Fang Dahai hated Yan Xiaoqing who betrayed him very much in his heart, and the mastermind behind these things was Yan Xiaoqing, as long as he killed Yan Xiaoqing, he could turn the situation around. Fang Dahai forgot that Yan Xiaoqing also knew him very well, and Yan Xiaoqing had already mentioned this former ** Fang Dahai. Just when Yan Xiaoqing and Fang Dahai were entangled, Lu Dacheng did not make a move. It's not that Lu Dacheng is as cold-blooded as Yan Xiaoqing, but because Lu Dacheng has trained his wife Yan Xiaoqing well, and he is very confident that Yan Xiaoqing will defeat Fang Dahai.
Just when Yan Xiaoqing was about to defeat Fang Dahai, just when Lu Dacheng forced everyone to make a decision, the old forces finally made a move. It turned out that the delegates were not very familiar with each other, and everyone had their own territory. Therefore, the old forces changed most of the representatives earlier, and these people were actually cronies of the old forces pretending to be them. These people joined forces with the people hiding in the shadows to suppress Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing's people in terms of numbers and strength. At this time, Fang Dahai had already seen the clues, for the sake of his own life and his future, Fang Dahai openly supported the old forces. The people of the old forces also knew that this was not the best opportunity to deal with Fang Dahai, it was better to use Fang Dahai's surrender to completely solve Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing, and then come back to deal with Fang Dahai.
Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing knew that things would not go well this time, so they simply came to a big killing, hoping to use force to defeat the opponent. The two proud disciples of the former White Lotus Sect Leader joined forces, and this power should definitely not be underestimated. At this time, Lu Dacheng's "White Lotus Sword Technique" was close to Dacheng, and Yan Xiaoqing's sword technique also had a certain scale. The power of the two joining forces, even Tang Sai'er could not resist, of course, it was not something that these people could deal with.
Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing teamed up to kill half of the masters of the old forces, and also completely wiped out the mortal enemy Dahai. Lu Dacheng and Yan Xiaoqing fought hard to eliminate all their opponents, for them, the consumption this time was worth it, as long as they eliminated the enemy, they could unify the White Lotus Sect. Lu Dacheng is the real sect leader of the White Lotus Sect, and Yan Xiaoqing is the sect leader's wife who gives orders on behalf of the head of the White Lotus Sect.
Just when the two sides killed one of them, the spy sent a signal. Immediately, the army attacked in a big way, and the army of the military headquarters was not in a hurry to kill the enemy, but surrounded the meeting place. They surrounded the perimeter, and then gradually narrowed the encirclement. The cavalry was in front, and the infantry followed, shouting slogans to force the disciples of the White Lotus Sect to the conference center little by little. This sudden incident surprised all the White Lotus Sect disciples, they had forgotten their personal grievances, and the only thing they were thinking about was how to escape.
The iron bucket encirclement tactics of the sergeants were really effective, and although the people of the White Lotus Sect were strong and not afraid of death, they were no match for the well-equipped imperial army. The imperial court has suffered losses at the hands of the people of the White Lotus Sect many times, and knows that the personal combat power of the people of the White Lotus Sect far exceeds the combat power of the soldiers of the imperial court's army. Coupled with the fact that the people of the White Lotus Sect dared to fight hard, it was impossible for the army of the imperial court to deal with the people of the White Lotus Sect one-on-one. Therefore, the commander of the imperial army got along with this iron bucket encirclement tactic, using the obedience and cooperation of the soldiers to be better than the people of the White Lotus Sect, and taking advantage of the characteristics of the people of the White Lotus Sect who are good at fighting on their own, which is an excellent tactic to deal with the White Lotus Sect.
