Liu Xiu killed officials and rebelled, and in the name of recovering the Han Dynasty, he summoned seven or eight thousand guests from nearby counties to revolt in Chungling, known as the Red Han Army.

They soon captured Caiyang County, destroyed three Buddhist monasteries in the county, and reverted the monks to the laity, while rectifying the squire bullies and distributing the monasteries and the land of the gentry to the poor peasants.

As a result, many of the peasants who had been oppressed took the initiative to defect, and the scale of the Red Han Army continued to grow.

In addition to Caiyang County, Nanyang County's Wan County, Xinye County and other counties also ignited the flames of war.

Among them, Li Tong and Deng Yu captured Wan County, and Liu Xiu's brother-in-law Deng Chen's Deng family and the Yin family joined forces to capture Xinye County.

Then he joined forces with Liu Xiu's Red Han Army, under the banner of "punishing reckless thieves, destroying Buddhist monks, fighting evil gentry, and restoring the Han Dynasty", and expanded rapidly in Nanyang like destroying the withering and decaying.

They are like a little spark, which instantly ignited the Xinmang Dynasty of the superficial country and the people's peace, making the world boil, and rebels from all over the country rose one after another.

……

Liu Xiu raised troops to fight against the reckless destruction of Buddha, and the world responded.

After the news reached Chang'an, Wang Mang was furious and panicked, because this rebellion was completely different from the previous ones.

He first sent troops to suppress it, and then went to see the holy monk Kasya.

Inside the Zhenguo Temple.

Jiaye knew about the rebellion of the world earlier than Wang Mang, because the rebels' actions to destroy the Buddha affected the foundation that Buddhism had just established in the Southern Ganbu Continent, and they tasted the sweetness of humanity and luck, and they were hit hard.

"Weird." Ka Ye's brows were furrowed, and he didn't smile indifferently from before.

He found that the Red Han army was very clever, both compared with the rebels in various places and compared with Wang Mang's imperial army, it was far ahead, as if it was not on the same level.

Although the speed of expansion of the Red Han army was fast, it was not a disorderly expansion.

They not only conquered cities and territories, but also paid attention to ideological propaganda.

Everywhere he went, in addition to carrying out activities to exterminate Buddhist monks, fight evil gentry, and divide the land, he also organized the establishment of village community schools, and both adults and children did enlightenment education.

More importantly, the Red Han Army was able to avoid entering people's houses and not commit any offence against the people, and the discipline was very strict.

This was obviously an army of ants, but it made Ka Ye feel a tingling sensation on his scalp, even though he was a quasi-saint close to the top of the Three Realms.

"I must get rid of it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for my Dharma to enter the Eastern Soil!" Kaye looked serious.

As expected, Wang Mang soon came to see him.

Wang Mang came up and asked: "Holy monk, I built a Buddhist temple in Guangzhou, and people everywhere recited Amitabha Buddha, why is the world chaotic?" ”

Jia Ye sighed: "Liu Xiu is the reincarnation of an extraterritorial heavenly demon, and he is the best at demagoguery. ”

Wang Mang's face changed, he had seen the immortal methods of Jiaye, so he believed it was true, and hurriedly asked: "The holy monk once said that he could subdue demons and eliminate demons, why didn't he take action?" ”

Ka Ye clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, immortals have the rules of immortals, he is now reincarnated as a human, and it is inconvenient for poor monks to make a move."

Moreover, he is your calamity, and if you can survive this calamity, there will be a smooth road ahead. ”

Wang Mang frowned, and did not hide the displeasure in his heart, he spent national strength to build thousands of Buddhist temples, just to quell the rebellion in the world and reduce frequent natural disasters.

For this reason, he exempted these Buddhist monasteries from taxes, rewarded them with fertile land and countless money, and let those Buddhist monks earn an unknown amount of benefits.

Now that something is wrong, it's inconvenient to do something?

So what do I want you to do?

These words were not spoken, but Jiaye could see Wang Mang's thoughts.

He thought for a while, and then said: "The Son of Heaven is the benefactor of my Buddhism, and now in this catastrophe, although it is inconvenient for the poor monk to make a move, he will not stand idly by." ”

Wang Mang nodded and left satisfied.

It didn't take long for the Huai Shui to flood, mysteriously flooding a large area of land in Nanyang County, which is located upstream.

Nanyang was the foundation of the Red Han Army, and due to this natural disaster, it had to withdraw troops to relieve the disaster, and the momentum of expansion stopped.

When Wang Mang learned about this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He also knew the strength of the Red Han Army, as long as Liu Xiu's Red Han Army was destroyed, the rest of the rebels would not have to worry.

So, he immediately sent more than 400,000 troops to Nanyang.

……

Nanyang County, Tongbai Mountain.

"Heaven is going to kill me Liu Xiu? Dead my Han family? Liu Xiu looked sad.

He stood on top of Tongbai Mountain, only to see the Huai water under the mountain flooding, the flood was like an ocean, as far as the eye could see, submerging many farmland and houses, and countless people were crying and screaming.

Although the Red Han army laid Nanyang, its foundation was not stable, and now it had to face not only the Xinmang army, but also the threat of the rebels and county soldiers in several surrounding counties.

Suddenly suffering from this catastrophe, I am afraid that it is in danger of overturning.

"This is not a natural disaster, but a demon." At this moment, a melodious voice sounded.

When Liu Xiu heard this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face: "Master Sun! ”

I saw two figures walking not far away, one was a Taoist with a clear face, and the other was a young man in white who looked young.

At this moment, the guards of the Red Han Army on the mountain were all shocked, they didn't find out how these two people came up, as if they appeared out of thin air, and hurriedly surrounded them.

Liu Xiu said: "You guys retreat first, and I will also be a teacher." ”

The guards obeyed the order and immediately retreated.

Sun Daochang said with a smile: "You did a good job, and in just over a month, you turned the world upside down." ”

Liu Xiu said: "Thanks to Master's teachings, it's a pity that my ability is still not enough, so I can only let the flood rage." ”

Sun Daochang said: "It's not your fault, there is no need to feel sorry for yourself, there are people who do not follow the rules and drive demons to make trouble, and I am here today to solve this matter." ”

Liu Xiu hurriedly saluted: "On behalf of the people of Nanyang County, I thank Master for his great kindness!" ”

Sun Daochang waved the dust, pointed to the white-clothed young man next to him, and said with a smile: "This is your senior brother Ao Lie, he will take action in a while, and the person you want to thank is him." ”

"Xiu has seen Senior Brother." Liu Xiu hurriedly saluted, but he was surprised in his heart, he had often gone to Master Sun's Taoist Temple to play since he was a child, and when he was a little older, he traveled the world with him, but he had never heard that Master had another apprentice.

"Senior brother doesn't have to be like this." Ao Lie also smiled and saluted, "In the future, we can be closer and closer." ”

"Fight quickly, don't be big." Sun Daochang said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Ao Lie's expression was grim.

Immediately afterwards, he stood on Tongbai Mountain, raised his hand to shoot out a divine light, submerged into the Huaishui under the mountain, and shouted at the same time: "Huaishui Dragon King, come out to see me." ”

Liu Xiu looked at it in amazement from the side, knowing that this senior brother Ao Lie was also a member of the gods.

Not long after, a dragon king dressed in disarrays broke through the water, came to Tongbai Mountain, and saluted Ao Lie: "The little god worships Si Yu and the big dragon god." ”

Ao Lie frowned: "How did you make it look like this?" And what's going on with this flood? ”

The Huaishui Dragon King is the fourth son of the Jinghe Dragon King, and he is a cousin, but now is not the time to get close.

"Please also ask the dragon god to save me." The Huaishui Dragon King said miserably, "It was the ancient Huaishui Water God Wuzhi Qi who occupied my Dragon Palace and caused this great flood. ”
