Chapter 652: The Holy Sect Makes a Move, and the Chaos Rises Again

Chuzhou, according to the inherent establishment of the empire, has three major legions under its jurisdiction, Vermilion Bird, Panshi, and Python. The Panshi Corps is stationed in Songling, Jiu" Xiyan, and Jialin in the southwest of Chuzhou, and the division stationed in Songling Mansion is the Panshi Third Division.

When the Panshi Third Division was in turmoil in Xiangyang, most of the soldiers and horses under its command were transferred to the territory of Poyang Prefecture, and with the poor performance on the front line, the losses of the Third Division could be described as heavy, and after the reorganization of Xiangyang, the Panshi Third Division was reorganized into the 13th Division of Chuzhou, and among the five brigades under its jurisdiction. Three of them were snatched by Leng Zhuo.

They are the 61st Brigade under Tian Dan, the 64th Brigade under Chang Yuchun, and the 62nd Brigade under Xu Da.

With the last army of Li Tang crossing the Tianhe River and heading north, the turmoil in the north of Chuzhou that lasted for more than eight months was completely quelled, and Chuzhou ushered in a rare calm, and as the kings supported their own troops, Chuzhou's plan to organize a large army to go north to crusade against Li Tang could no longer be used, and many soldiers and horses gathered in the north. The pressure on grain and grass was huge, and with the order of Chen Nan, the rebel envoy of Chuzhou, the counties began to return to their respective camps.

The original garrison of the 13th Division was Songling Prefecture, and the main force of the 64th Brigade of Chang Yuchun was stationed in the camp north of the city of Songshan County.

Matsuyama-gun is surrounded by mountains to the west and hills to the east, and only a plain belt in the middle is the most prosperous place in Matsuyama-gun.

The north camp of Songshan County is backed by Xiaosong Mountain, there is a water in the west, flowing through, the whole camp is only more than 20 miles away from Songshan County, hurry up, you can go back and forth in less than an hour.

As the three regular Lan regiments in Chuzhou, although the army is a general, but the work on the surface is good, the barracks, school grounds, and warehouses of the Songshan North Camp are quite complete, but the barracks in the camp, such as the five warehouses and four rooms, cannot be said to be empty, but they are also rats running all over the ground, and the spider webs are layer by layer.

Xu Wei, since following Leng Zhuo from Cangyun County to Chuzhou, with the expansion of Leng Zhuo's power, he has gradually been reused, because he is a nobleman, so he also reaped some benefits in the pacification of the Xiangyang Rebellion, and successfully entered the first level of the knight, which is regarded as a glorious lintel, in the subsequent reorganization, Xu Wei was still arranged in the logistics camp, working under Liu Ji and Liu Bowen.

In the small courtyard where the head of the Beidaying Brigade lived, a table of wine and food was steaming hot, and Chang Yuchun and Xu Wei sat opposite each other on the table, holding a wine glass in their hands, drinking it all, a glass of wine went down, Chang Yuchun then went down, and said: "Xu Shuban, why did you send less than a thousand sets of clothes and armor this time, but it was half worse than what I wanted!"

Xu Wei took a bite of food, glanced at Chang Yuchun, and said: "You are too greedy, I will send you supplies three times before and after, and three thousand brothers in the battle armor before and after, plus two thousand five hundred paintings when I was in Xiangyang, there are no less than five thousand pairs of soldiers and horses, and your brigade now has four thousand soldiers and horses!"

Chang Yuchun heard this, but he smiled and said: "This soldier is not recruiting, it is estimated that it will not be able to recruit five thousand in ten months, and these soldiers under my command are diligent in their daily practice, although this armor is quite strong, but it can't bear to polish like this, and it always needs some replacement, isn't it?"

"Hmph, that's all I can send for the time being, after all, it's not just your family that needs it, if it weren't for the fact that there are many bandits here, and there is also that Holy Sect instigating behind the scenes, it won't give priority to supplying your brigade, and only half of the brigades in the north have been replaced with new armor!"

Speaking of which, Xu Wei continued: "How is the situation of your recruit recruitment, the Holy Sect is rampant in this Songling Mansion, and there are many believers, the soldiers when they were in Xiangyang before are no problem, the key is that you need to recruit four battalions of soldiers here!"

Chang Yuchun heard Xu Wei ask, and he was also quite angry: "It's because of this holy sect, my four battalions of soldiers haven't even assembled two battalions now, and it's not easy to check how many hidden disciples there are among these people, in short, the trouble is tight, I can only strengthen the details of recruitment on the one hand, and rely on the soldiers to pay attention to find out during training!"

"Just for this" I have caused a lot of trouble, according to my opinion, at least more than half of the people in this county are related to that holy religion, especially the gang of people in the city defense nose, and a few half of the families worship God!"

Xu Wei nodded, since the traces of the Holy Sect were discovered in the Vermilion Bird City, Hou Ye has made people pay attention to this Holy Sect, but some time ago, the main focus was on Xiangyang, but with the establishment of intelligence networks in various places, there is still a lot of news coming back, and as soon as these news are gathered, it makes people feel quite tricky.

Most of the military power they seized this time was concentrated in the Panshi Legion, and several brigades were stationed in Xiyan, Jiuchuan and Songling, and this Songling Mansion was simply the base camp and influence circle of the Holy Sect, so it can be said that the more information they obtained, the more they felt that the tentacles of this Holy Sect were buried deep and long.

"You are stationed in Songshan County, it can be said that you are the first to bear the brunt, so unless you step up training, you must also pay attention to collecting intelligence, the rice line and inn we have established here have been ostracized and suppressed by the local government, and the help you can provide is limited, but the military advisor also said that if something really happens, it is important to protect the soldiers and horses, and you can withdraw from Songshan County at a critical moment!"

Chang Yuchun nodded, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Come, drink!"

In Songshan County, the largest gate valve family is the Song family, and there are three or five people sitting in the inner hall of the Song family, and the courtyards around are empty, only outside the courtyard gate are guarded.

Sitting in the top position, a middle-aged man wearing a gorgeous Shu brocade robe, slightly raised a thick brow, a Chinese face is quite serious, this person is the first Song family head in Songshan Song Wenzhu, Song Wenzhu put down the tea cup in his hand, looked up at the three people at the bottom, and said: "So, the sect leader is ready to start an incident, and go down the night of September 18 to occupy the county seat!"

"Yes, Lord Left Guardian!"

"Why didn't you mention it before, and suddenly set a time for the incident?" Song Wenzhu looked at the Holy Son Messenger like a falcon, and asked with confusion.

More than 600 years ago, the Holy Religion established a holy religion that occupied half of Chu Prefecture and a small half of the territory of Shu Prefecture, and lasted for more than 40 years, and then was destroyed, but the Holy Religion started with the Pope, where is it so easy to destroy, for hundreds of years, the Holy Religion has been plotting to re-establish the country, and infiltrating power through missions.

There is a strict organization above and below the Holy Religion, there are left and right apologetics, the four protectors of the Dharma in the east, west, north and south, the nine saints, the five marches of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and under the saints, there is also the most solid foundation of the Holy Religion, the community of believers, a group of fanatical and loyal preachers of the Holy Religion, and then there are more numbers. It is also the majority of believers where the foundation of the Holy Religion lies.

At the same time, in the Holy Church, there is also the Holy Maiden lineage, the status of the Holy Maiden is second only to the Sect Master, and the candidate of the Sect Master must be promised by the Holy Maiden to be on the throne, because the Holy Maiden is the descendant of the king of the former Holy Religion and the foundation of the Holy Religion.

"The Holy Maiden of Qin Yao came back suddenly some time ago and met the sect leader, as for what she said, we don't know, but we know that not long after the holy woman came back, the sect leader issued the Five Elements Order Flag, gathered the Five Elements Army, and issued the Holy Sect Order, and set the matter!"

"Oh, the Holy Maiden is not in the Vermilion Bird City, could it be ......!" Song Wenzhu thought, but shook his head again, he hadn't heard any news from the Suzaku Mansion recently, so what could it be.

"Forget it, it is the ruling of the sect leader and the holy woman, this guardian naturally has no other objections, but the time is quite urgent, and a group of strangers have recently come to the edge of the county town, and they are quite unentered, and it is likely to become an obstacle to the success of my holy sect!"

"Lord Apologetic, please rest assured, there are naturally five marches over there to solve it, and Lord Apolologist's energy can be put in the county town, after all, this Songshan County can store a large amount of grain, grass, and ordnance, which is an important rear area for the expansion and growth of my cathar army, and there is no room for any mistakes!"

"I understand this matter, the Seven Holy Sons should live in the house first, and I will let people arrange other things properly, and I won't miss most of the Holy Sect when I leave!"

"Then there is Master Laojiao!"

"Father, is there really going to be an incident?" The young man dressed as a scholar who had been standing in the room without speaking watched the Holy Son and his party leave, and then turned his head and looked at his father, and said.

Song Wenzhu nodded, and said: "It should be true, I thought that the Holy Sect uprising would be after the autumn harvest in October, or it was waiting for a year, but it seems that some big things should have happened, otherwise the Holy Maiden would not have hurried back from the Vermilion Bird City, and it can be said that the Sect Master started at this time!"

"But father, "Those outsiders under the mountain of Upper Song?"

"Don't bother with it, since the Holy Son said that the Five Elements Army will solve it, we don't have to worry about it, but in the city, it is quite a tricky problem, then the Song family has this Heavenly Spirit Master in charge, and there are more than 20 Earth Spirits to worship, this power is not small!"

"Isn't my father also advanced to the Heavenly Spirit Realm, and there are also Holy Sect masters to help, and the Song family is not ready to take it!"

"Hmph, don't underestimate that Song family, otherwise the Song family wouldn't have competed with my Song family for so many years, why bother being disgusted by this Song family several times, but the nine holy sons of the Holy Sect, each of them are heavenly spirit masters trained by the sect master, although they have used some secret methods, but their strength is not affected much, with that Seven Holy Sons, two heavenly spirits, the Song family should not be able to jump even if it is hidden deeply!"

"Also, go and call your younger brother back to me, the city defense battalion in his hands is quite important in this matter, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, my Song family spent years in the township, don't drop the chain for me this time, my Song family will have a foothold in this holy religion in the future, soldiers and horses are indispensable, even if it is not comparable to the Five Lines Army, it must be stronger than the official army、。

"Father rest assured, although Ziwu is a little naïve, but he has been concerned about military affairs since he was a child, and the soldiers he trained are not bad, but this kid is very infatuated with the daughter of the Song family, and his father wants to destroy the Song family, I am afraid that this kid will know about it...... ,!”

"Don't worry, the Song family wants to die like that, I still don't agree, he Song Jinyu is not unwilling to marry my Song family, I still want to show him, let his Song family be a watchdog in front of me for the rest of my life!" (To be continued.)
