When Tsutsui Shunaki unified the Yamato Kingdom, he relied on the support of Kofukuji Temple, and when Tsutsui Shunaki seized the secular world of Yamato Province, Kofukuji Temple also almost unified the temples of Yamato Province, and only a small number of disobedient people were still struggling to preach in the southern Yamato mountains.

Horyuji Temple, one of the seven major temples in the southern capital, also became a vassal of Kofukuji Temple, and most of the output of the manor under the temple fell into the hands of Kofukuji Temple, but it still allowed Iwanari Yu to fully check and confiscate 8,000 stone of grain, which was enough to make 3,000 three good people eat and drink for two or three years.

You must know that there are thousands of monks in Horyuji Temple, plus the believers who rely on Horyuji Temple, adding up to more than 3,000 people. In the case of the looting of Kofukuji Temple, Horyuji Temple still has so many family backgrounds, it is conceivable how much food is hidden in Kofukuji Temple.

Yan Chengyou looked at the monks and soldiers who had no resistance, but he still caught more than a thousand people, more than half of them monks, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain, but he didn't let the people of the three good people do it, turned his head to the three good generals and said: "Order someone to tell the people of the Yixiang Sect that killing one person can get a bucket of food, killing a monk can get three buckets of food, let them come out to kill!" ”

The general nodded and ordered his subordinates to go and give instructions to the people who had been following him one by one. After a while, under the hunger, someone who had always been in the middle of the stab finally came out and stabbed more than 30 people to death. Seeing that the food was really distributed on the spot, more and more people joined in.

Already everyone couldn't help but scream loudly, the muffled sound of the forehead hitting the ground became much louder, it sounded like a drum, many of the captives who were struggling to kowtow were already bleeding from their heads, and some monks chanted loudly "Nam no Amitabha".

There were already hundreds of corpses in the field, and the blood had soaked the ground around them purple and black. The smell of blood also began to permeate. Most of the people who poured into Yamato were actually poor people from Hanoi. Where have I seen such a scene, they all retreated timidly, not daring to look up to see people.

Seeing that no one would make a move after killing hundreds of people, even if the chips were raised, no one wanted to be contaminated with the blood of the monks who believed in the Buddha, he shouted and scolded angrily, his face was hideous and roared, and no one made a move, and they all stayed away from him in fear.

The Miyoshi chief said in a low voice: "Uncle." People have been killed, if you can't do it, I'm afraid the hearts of the people will be scattered, if the three good people want to be around you, not only need prestige, but also need fear. ”

Iwanari Yutong hesitated for a moment, knowing that what General Miyoshi said was a bit crooked, and now that he had done it, if it was just him who was stained with blood, his gang might find a reason to betray him. But if it's all stained with blood.

Thinking of this, Iwanari Yutong's heart completely became hard and black. After making up his mind and making a dead hand, he first summoned the members of the Miyoshi Sanren who had just killed the monks and soldiers, and made them overseers, and then gave the death order to the remaining 2,000 people.

The remaining more than 2,000 people who were paddling in the water where did they think that their leader would be so ruthless, in such a situation, if you can't do it, Iwanari Yutong's eyes are cold, which makes people's hearts palpitate, as well as the eyes of those companions who killed monks and soldiers and the weapons in their hands.

Once someone is too timid to make a move, I am afraid that they will be the next to die, and it is their leader who will do it, in such a situation, under the idea of the dead friend not dying and the poor way, a group of twenty people raised their weapons and cut down the unarmed captive.

One team was withdrawn, one team was replaced, and there were twenty more people, and there was already a terrible smell in the courtyard, and more and more people collapsed. There were also some monks who began to chant sutras, and the voices became louder and louder, and the monk sitting in the center was clearly ready to be martyred.

The chanting of the sutras is getting louder and louder, and the number of monks and believers chanting the sutras is also increasing.

The anger in Iwashiro Youtong's heart became more and more intense, and there seemed to be countless flies screaming in his ears, and the killing intent in his eyes burst out. Maybe even the Buddha couldn't stand it, and when he was about to give the order to slaughter quickly, Miyoshi Masakatsu rushed in, glanced at the blood on the ground and frowned, but instead of persuasion, he rushed to Iwanari Yutong's side and said: "Lord tax head, quickly, there is an enemy attacking the east gate, my brother is resisting, please hurry up and rescue." ”

Iwasari Yutong frowned when he saw that Miyoshi Masakatsu's face was covered with blood and the blood stains on his armor had not dried, but he did not immediately go to the rescue, he was silent for a while, and then stepped forward and asked: "Who is the enemy, do you see clearly, and how many people are there?" ”

Miyoshi Masakatsu took a deep breath, mixed with the smell of blood, coughed twice suddenly, and replied: "It should be the seventy or eighty cavalry who broke out of Tsutsujing City a few days ago, and also gathered four or five hundred people. ”

Yan Chengyou informed Xiaodong that there were still many buildings outside the gate, and more than 3,000 people with three good people plus two or three thousand people who followed, most of the five or six thousand people poured into the main hall, and the place where they were located was the large lecture hall where the monks used to give lectures.

Iwacheng Youtong suddenly shouted: "Sun Shilang, you lead the people of the headquarters to support the East Gate, be sure to guard the East Gate, and the rest of the people will exit the lecture hall and carry firewood with me!" As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at the people who were still chanting sutras.

The three good generals left in a hurry, Yan Cheng Youtong walked out of the main hall, pulled Yan Changchen, his face was hideous for a while, Yan Changchen's face was stunned for a while, there was still a trace of fear in his expression, and he said cowardly: "Uncle, can this be right?" ”

Yan Chengyoutong said fiercely: "It's already done, there is another way, just wait for the fire to be together, destroy the corpses, and leave some flags of the Matsunaga family, what do you think I keep them for?" Who knows if we set this fire or if Matsunaga Shu made it. ”

Yan Changchen glanced at the large lecture hall where the chanting sound resounded, and whispered, "But, but there are more than a thousand people inside?" This, this fire together. But he couldn't say it anymore, Iwasari Yutong's eyes were full of cold light, as if he was saying it, I was afraid that even his uncle and nephew would be cut off with a knife.

Yan Chengyoutong snorted coldly and said: "Let them go, you and my uncle and nephew will still have a way to live in the future, kill them now." There is no proof of death. When the time comes, I will push it to Matsunaga Hide. Who knows who did the chaos, not to mention that we didn't set this fire personally, the mob that just took the lead in killing people let them do it. ”

Yan Changchen nodded again and again, and at the same time took a few breaths hard, his expression suddenly changed, and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll do it?" He hurried away. But after turning around, the expression on his face became very ugly, and he still followed Iwasari Yutong's order to go to work.

The fire finally burned, and the sound of chanting scriptures in the lecture hall suddenly stopped, and everyone understood that those wicked people were going to burn them all to death, and they shouted loudly: "Buddha enemies, evil ways, evil ghosts!" One day, you will all go to hell. ”

An old monk shook his head, slowly recited Nan Wu Amitabha, and said, "Let's go to the Dharma together!" As he spoke, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recite the Buddha's name and scriptures, and the fear on his face was gone. It became pious and calm.

Many young monks sat with their hands folded around the old monks, reciting Buddha names and scriptures in the same way, no longer fearful and uneasy like others. On the contrary, he became pious and calm, and although his face was still a little pale, he did not have the horror just now.

Suddenly, a bright light rose into the sky. Outside the east gate, Matsukura Shigenobu and Treasure Courtyard Yinrong's faces changed suddenly, and they were shocked, they never expected that the enemy who broke into Horyu Temple would be so bold as to shout in unison: "Kill the Buddha's enemy." ”

Yamato has experienced thousands of years of Buddhism, all of them are devout believers, seeing the fire of Horyuji Temple, the eyes of the people who attacked the east gate are full of anger, and they muster up the courage to attack the east gate again, and the treasure temple Yinei shouted: "Build a ladder to climb the wall." ”

At this time, Shimasun Jiro had already ridden to the east gate, and when he saw the smoke billowing from Horyuji Temple, he was furious, and he rushed towards a wall with his war horse, and even wanted to cross the wall.

Matsukura Shigenobu shouted: "What a gut! Then he shouted, "Kill, kill!" Wielding a sword, he fought towards the three people who resisted, and Yinrong of the Treasure Courtyard also led more than 100 people to climb the courtyard wall, flip through the past, and attack the east gate on both sides.

At this time, it is time to rob, once the fire burns down Horyu Temple, it is really hopeless, unfortunately the Miyoshi Masayasu who guards the door is one of the best generals in the Miyoshi family, and in addition to the elite of the three people who followed him to the east gate, not only strong martial arts, but also proficient in battle formations, and the cooperation between each other is very tacit. In the narrow aisle of the gate, the side with a large number of people may not be able to win against the side with a small number of people, and Miyoshi Masayasu became more and more courageous the more he fought, and more than ten people fell in a pool of blood screaming in an instant.

Shimasun Jiro brandished a spear and rushed into the east and west main roads in the east gate, just bumped into the three good generals to come to the rescue, this Shimasun Jiro is young, but he is strong in martial arts, it is the art master who is bold, seeing six or seven hundred and three good three people killing, still not afraid, the prisoner suddenly let out a shocking roar, like a wolf that pounced into the flock, hideous and terrifying. The spear in Shimasun Jiro's hand kept dancing, and in an instant, three people were poked and fell to the ground, screaming and struggling.

The three good generals are not Iwacheng Youtong, Miyoshi Masatsu, Miyoshi Masakatsu and Iwa Changchen such fierce generals, he thinks he is a general, it turns out that when he was in the lecture hall, he has already seen that Iwacheng Youtong is going to burn down Horyu Temple, and he is happy to let Iwacheng Youtong support him, where did he think that he had just come to the east gate and met such a fierce man.

The three good generals did not dare to shout loudly, for fear of being heard by this enemy, and they didn't know how to order their subordinates to rush to kill, but they didn't know that a big man also rushed up behind him, and it was the treasure courtyard Yinrong who led more than 30 people who climbed over the courtyard wall.

General Miyoshi and the others turned their backs to them, and because of Shimasun Jiro's attack, they were so engrossed in the front that they didn't even notice the situation behind the road. Shimasun Jiro saw it really clearly, and the spear in his hand kept waving, and he stabbed another person to death.

Although Yinrong of the Treasure Academy has not yet met the famous teacher of his life, Nobu Tsuna, but his marksmanship is already the first in the Yamato country, and he has not yet established the Treasure Academy's spearmanship, nor has he invented the sickle gun, and the short gun in his hand is still used by ordinary people, and he kicked the enemy in front of him and stabbed the opponent to death with one shot.

The sudden intrusion of more than 30 people, coupled with the fact that these people were all strong in martial arts, the scene was chaotic for a while, and everyone was in danger. Miyoshi Masayasu encountered a crisis at the same time, after all, the number of people he led was at a disadvantage, coupled with the fire of Horyuji Temple, not only Matsukura Shigenobu and others were violent, even the members of the Miyoshi Sanren were panicked, and they were suddenly caught by Matsukura Shigenobu and finally broke through the east gate. Miyoshi Masakang had to retreat, seeing that the east gate was lost, he knew that nothing could be done, and it was important to save his life, so he shouted: "Withdraw!" ”

Miyoshi Masaysu ignored the crisis of the Miyoshi chief, and rushed into the nearby courtyard by getting out of the way, Matsukura Shigenobu did not pursue, he knew that these people who fled were poor men, and he knew that the poor people did not chase the truth, and the only thing he was worried about was the main force of the other party.

On the main road, after the arrival of Matsukura Shigenobu, it fell into a bloody melee, and General Miyoshi saw that the east gate was lost, and he didn't know whether Miyoshi Masaysu was alive or dead, and his team was also caught in a melee and couldn't get out, and he didn't dare to flee alone, he understood that once he lost his headquarters, he didn't know how the current Yamato Kingdom would die once he was alone, so he had to pray patiently that Iwanari Yutsu would come to save him for the sake of the three people who were also Miyoshi and the uncle he had called the other party for many years.

After Yan Cheng Youtong ordered Yan Changchen to set a fire, he ordered someone to carry bags of grain and push them on the carriage and horses towards the direction of Xingui Mountain, Yan Changchen caught up with Yan Cheng Youtong and asked: "Uncle, I really left like this, and there is still most of the grain in the temple that has not been transported." ”

Yan Chengyou's eyes were bright, he hesitated slightly, shook his head, and said: "It's terrible, the fire of Horyuji Temple, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if I stay, do you think Matsunaga Shu and Hatakeyama Takamasa will come when they see the fire." ”

Iwa Changchen's heart trembled, although he seemed stupid, in fact, his mind was quite delicate, he heard what Iwasari Yutong said, and understood that once it was delayed, it would be enough to kill the enemy who rushed into the east gate, and it was enough for Matsunaga Hide, Hatakeyama Takamasa and others to come.

If you want to leave at that time, it will be very difficult, and I am afraid that the food obtained will also be looted away by them, and it is said that you are blessed to share, but Yan Changchen suddenly asked: "Uncle, is this okay?" Miyoshi Zhengkang, Zhengsheng and Miyoshi Commander and others, I'm afraid they will hate us to death. ”

Yan Chengyou said coldly: "In the future, there will be no three good threes, only one of Yan Chengjun." (To be continued.) )
