In the next few days, the Qingyan Wangshi crossed the river to the north, first with Xingguojin where Shen Mu was located, and gathered more than 30,000 people. On the other hand, it is to continue to reinforce Leling and continue to increase the garrison of the city of Yanci.

And in Leling County, did not participate in the battle of the Qiang and withdrew the army in advance, Leling Taishou Liu Gao, more than 20,000 people, is already the only surviving force in the counties of southern Hebei, after returning to Leling, there have also been several battles with Wang Shi, both sides are trying to win and lose each other.

After all, the Qianjun army in southern Hebei has been facing off against the Qingyan Wang Division for several years, and its combat effectiveness is also quite impressive. The reason for the great defeat and loss in Henan was that each had its own reasons for having to lose, but it should not be completely blamed on the disadvantage of the war.

But the situation of Wang Shi today is very different from before, the situation has reversed, and it has changed from the original slight disadvantage to an all-round advantage, so it is difficult for that general Liu Gao to recapture the city in a short time. And without the stronghold of the high city and wide pool, in the southern Hebei region, it is difficult for Liu Gao's department to maintain it for a long time.

The Wang Shi of Xingguojin did not directly continue to the north with great momentum, but took Linqing City on the north border of the Qing River as the boundary point and began to sweep the southern counties of Hebei more deeply.

Shen Yun's Fenwu army did not stop there, and after going north in the north, and then recuperating in Linqing for a few days, after replenishing supplies, the whole army rode out lightly and chased Shi Xuan's escape route all the way.

On the one hand, it is to avoid the rout army from stationing nearby to rest and then counterattack, and at the same time stirring the heart of the country and increasing the trouble for Shi Hu's army to come south, on the other hand, the Fenwu army will also sweep around Xiangguo until it passes through Yedi, and finally rest in Fangtou, and at the same time receive the reserve troops of Fenwu who have set off from Luoyang to the north, and reorganize and replenish.

Before crossing the river, Shen Mu looked like he was imposing, and it seemed that he couldn't wait to start a full-scale battle with Shi Hu's army immediately. However, after actually arriving in Hebei, the use of troops became cautious, and although the army attacked in all directions in southern Hebei, it would generally not cross the Linqing line. seems to have completely forgotten the previous rhetoric, but is obsessed with sweeping the countryside and uprooting the pleasure of the abuse of those local tyrants and strongmen between the counties and counties.

Even after Zhang Tan's family letter was sent, there was a letter sent back to the Zhang family in Dongwu City, saying that as long as Wang Shi went up along the clear water, his family would take the lead in raising righteousness, and the inside and outside should be combined to help Wang Shi take Dongwu City and sweep the whole county of Qinghe, Shen Mu was not very moved by this, but he replied to the letter that if the Zhang family really has the sincerity of returning to righteousness, there is no need to say that Dongwu City is not Dongwu City, and it is enough to directly lead the troops to vote.

After that, there was no news from Tobu City, which shows that for the Zhang family, it is more difficult to decide to go south than to enter the city. Shen Mu didn't count on this, so he didn't pay attention to it anymore. As he himself said, it would be ridiculous if Wang Shixing still needs to count on the cooperation of the local countryside.

Shen Mu was comfortable here, but he suffered from those villagers in southern Hebei. Previously, the king's sweep was mainly aimed at those counties and counties, aiming to clean up the rule of the state in southern Hebei. But as these cities were uprooted one by one, their eyes naturally fell on the dock walls of the countryside for self-preservation.

As a result, those rural heroes couldn't sit still, and it was obvious that they couldn't beat them, not to mention that they had just been requisitioned by the State of Jin once before, and there were still many family members trapped in the Jin army's prisoner of war camp, even when the countryside was intact, how could they, the local tyrants living in the countryside, be the opponent of the Jin army's mighty heroes!

In fact, long before Shen Mu entered the country, when the defeat of the Jin Dynasty came and Shi Xuan fled north in embarrassment, the rural portals of these places began to discuss and weigh what attitude to deal with the entry of the Jin army. It's just that there are different opinions, and there is still no conclusion, but Wang Shi has not given them time, and there have been dock walls in the key places one after another that have been knocked open by the male army and forcibly returned to righteousness.

So soon, the township tyrants between Qinghe, Pingyuan and other realms finally put together a team represented by the elders of the township, and came all the way to Xingguojin.

When these people arrived, Shen Mu happened to be not in the camp, but in a Buddhist temple located more than ten miles away on the northeast side of Xingguokou.

The main stone tiger and the Buddha have a family affair that will say that the tree is the state religion, so there has always been no shortage of Buddhist temples in Hebei. As for this Xingguo Temple located near Xingguojin, it is a great deal of construction, built magnificently, the high pavilion flying tower, row upon row, in the center of the Buddhist temple there is a Buddha statue that is more than three zhang high, made of solid iron, wrapped in gold leaf.

Shen Mu came to think about it, and when he arrived at the Buddhist temple, the golden body wrapped around the giant Buddha had long been smashed and stripped away by the rogue soldiers, revealing a swarthy iron inside, and an arm was already missing. It is probably not the skill of forging such a large statue in the kingdom of Qian, because the torso and limbs are all cast separately, and then poured with molten iron to put them together.

Although Buddhism is not prosperous, there is no clear prohibition of Buddhism, but those Shamen who preach Buddhism have been suppressed by several masters of the Heavenly Master Dao, and they are rarely accepted by the people.

There are Buddhist temples and Buddha statues in Jiankang City in Jiangdong, and Shen Mu also occasionally went to see them in the early years, but the Buddha statue in front of him is different from what he saw in Jiangdong, with deep eye sockets, high nose bridge, protruding forehead, short jaw, large mouth and protruding teeth, and a hideous face when you look at it, which is obviously cast according to the characteristics of the Hu people, especially the facial features of the Hu people.

Seeing this difference, Shen Mu couldn't help but be happy, turned his head with a smile and asked the sand men of the Buddhist temple that followed a few people who were afraid to follow behind: "What is the name of this ugly Buddha?" ”

Those few sand gates, half Han and half Hu, heard the general's question, they didn't dare to hide it, and said tremblingly: "This, this Buddha is called Xingguo Anbang Town River Annihilation, Extinction ......"

Speaking of this, I suddenly woke up, and several people were sweating profusely and were busy closing their mouths.

However, at this time, there were already soldiers who picked up the flags scattered on the ground and presented them, and the name of this Buddha statue was written on it, which turned out to be called Xingguo Anbang Zhenhe to destroy Jin and kill Shen Zhaochang Buddha.

Even if Shen Mu doesn't know the Dharma, he also understands that there is no such kind of demon Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures, if the Western Buddha is the main creator of the Dharma, he knows that Jiangdong is about to rise a Shen family's power gate, maybe Shen Mu really wants to be a little more polite. It is conceivable that it must be those sand gates who are fond of it and cleverly crafted a name.

"This ugly Buddha is not good-looking, but he has a lot of responsibilities. That Shi Jilong is really not a compassionate lord, even if the Dharma is powerful, he shouldn't be a Buddha. No wonder they will be defeated and lost, and they will not be blessed. ”

Shen Mu threw the magic flag in his hand, and then ordered the soldiers: "Demolish it." ”

Not to mention the dismantling of the Buddha statues by the soldiers, Shen Mu turned his head to look at the sand gates again, skipping a few Hu thick not to mention, he only pointed to the two of the Jin people-like sand gates, and said with a smile: "You two, it should be my Zhuxia people, why do you say this?" ”

The two of them turned pale at the moment, sweat seeped into their eye sockets on their foreheads, and they had to blink frequently as if they couldn't stop crying, seeing Shen Mu looking at them, they were busy kneeling on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Buddha, Buddhism makes people feel at ......ease."

When Shen Mu heard this, it was more like he had heard some ridiculous remarks, and he laughed twice before he said again: "I, the people of Zhuxia, have their own sages, philosophers, and ancestors who need to worship carefully, teach people etiquette, and educate morality. If there are many virtuous voices, the white head of the great wisdom and the like can't be soaked and transparent in their lives. You abandon your ancestors, destroy ethics, and ignore the guidelines, and say that you just want to have peace of mind? How can the heart be at ease? What kind of demonic evil seed dares to hold such a heart? ”

The two of them just kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, and they didn't care about what Shen Mu said at all, and Shen Mu couldn't help but feel a little bored. He has no prejudice against the Dharma, and after seeing that several masters of the Heavenly Master Dao have been incorporated by Xingtai, he also feels that the mystery of these teachings and teachings is gone, and if they really have the ability to educate, it is not impossible to use them at the same time.

However, it is obvious that the so-called Buddhism promoted by Shi Hu in Hebei is definitely not a theory of goodness, but nothing more than an attempt to destroy the many concepts of human ethics and ethics that the people of Zhuxia have long established based on the doctrine of the former sages.

In addition, Shamen has a past life and said that suffering in this life and accumulating good fortune in the next life will undoubtedly win the favor of Shi Hu, a tyrannical lord who is willing to destroy people to death. In the next life, there is reincarnation in the six realms, so if you are a cow and a horse for me in this life, you will work hard and complain, this is a blessing of cultivation, not a crushing and mutilation.

Shen Mu's understanding of this may not be as profound as that of the general, but he has no good impression of the ignorant people who are addicted to it. Although the Dharma in this world is incomplete and there are few precepts, it can also be seen from this that these people are by no means noble in virtue and profound in the law, so they devote themselves to the Shamen, which is nothing more than a means to use this as a means for others to fish and flesh.

Shen Mu did not wronged these people, and then searched the Buddhist temple, not only found many gold and copper goods, wine and meat to eat, but also hundreds of women who looked like women.

After the interrogation, it was learned that the army was stationed here before, and these sand gates were also bold, and their business was in the barracks, not only selling all kinds of magic objects that were good luck and avoiding evil, and the swords and guns were indestructible, but also drove the women who were collected from the four fields to give alms.

Shen Mu has a lot of experience in the corruption of the military discipline of the army. However, this Buddhist temple is not far from the military camp, and it can still be preserved for Wang Shi to come and confiscate, which shows that Shi Hu has spared no effort to promote the Buddha over the years, and even the soldiers in the army dare not surprise the gods and Buddhas.

However, these Buddha's sand doors were very bold, and there was a lot of gold leaf among the confiscated goods, which turned out to be the Buddha's servants who stole and stripped the Buddha's golden body.

Shen Mu naturally would not show mercy to such a god-hating villain, and directly let people be detained in front of the Buddha statue that was being dismantled, and be severely punished, with a knife and a knife!

When those Shamen were tortured, it coincided with the old people in southern Hebei Township who had visited Xingguojin before and did not see the governor and went here. Before they could enter the Buddhist temple, they saw the sand doors lying in a pool of blood and their bodies had been cut into a blur of flesh and blood, and their faces changed suddenly for a while, and cold sweat poured out on their chests and backs.
