Gangnam

After Lu Shiang led his troops south, under the response of the Manichaeans in Wenzhou, he soon conquered Wenzhou, and then it was the same old way, killing all the officials and rich households, distributing some money and grain to the people, and the rest of the army.

The Manichaeans had the habit of abusing and killing officials, and Muzhou was slaughtered, and many of the families of the sect members were slaughtered, which made their hatred for the officials of the Song Dynasty much deeper.

Cut off their flesh, cut off their bodies, take their lungs and intestines, or boil them into anointing oil, and pierce them with arrows, and torture them in every way, and pay their blood debts, so as to relieve the hatred of their hearts.

The cruelty of the scene made Lu Shisang unbearable to witness.

On the second day of Wenzhou, Shenggu Fang Baihua asked Lu Shisang to convene the leaders of the sect to discuss the meeting, and the leaders of Lu Shinang were the twelve gods of Jiangnan.

Fang Baihua and Lu Shisang sat on the main seat on the left and right, Fang Jie stood behind Fang Baihua, and the twelve gods of Jiangnan sat on both sides.

Fang Baihua saw that everyone had arrived, so he said: "After conquering Wenzhou, we already have grain and grass, and everyone should also discuss how to avenge the Holy Father." ”

When Lu Shisang heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and glanced at Shen Gang, the god of heaven.

Shen Gang understood and said: "The army has traveled several places, and the soldiers are already exhausted, and the last general thinks that it is not too late to let the army rest for a few days. ”

Fang Baihua nodded and said: "What you said is also reasonable, then let the army rest for three days, and after three days, go north to attack Fuzhou and avenge the Holy Father." As long as Tong Guan is killed, no one in Jiangnan will be able to stop my Manichaean army, and then we will be able to revive our Manichaeism and save the people of Jiangnan. ”

Lu Shisang shook his head and said: "If you want to revive Manichaeism and save the people, I think it's better to go south." ”

Fang Baihua frowned and said, "How to say?" ”

Lu Shisang said: "Tong Guan has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and recently established a new dynasty in Huzhou to recruit soldiers and horses. If you want to kill him, I'm afraid it's not easy. And if you go south. There are also many Manichaeans on Fujian Road, and with the fall of the Song Dynasty, all parts of the country are not under each other's control, and if we attack one place, most of the other places will not be rescued. In this way, we can defeat each of us and revive Manichaeism. ”

Before Fang Baihua could speak, Fang Jie said: "If you don't avenge the Holy Father, what do you say about reviving Manichaeism, it will give you more money." ”

Fang Baihua frowned. Reprimanded: "General Lu has followed the Holy Father for many years, and he is a confidant of my Manichaeism, so he must not talk nonsense. ”

Lu Shisang was also a little unhappy when he saw Fang Baihua, and explained: "It's not that we don't avenge the Holy Father, it's just that if we go to attack Tong Guan now, even if we can defeat Huzhou, we will inevitably lose our troops." At that time, it may be difficult to attack other state capitals, so it is better to attack some cities in the south and expand the troops. Then hit Huzhou. ”

Fang Baihua was not a stupid person, and immediately said: "We are going south to expand the troops and horses, and Tong Guan is also recruiting troops and horses, and the longer it drags on." The more governors who are loyal to Tong Guan, the more we will have to face a new imperial court. It's better to take advantage of the fact that Tong Guan is still fledgling, there are only 20,000 people, and we will go north to destroy him in one fell swoop. As long as Tong Guan is dead. The remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River are leaderless, and even if we only have three percent of the soldiers and horses left, it will be the biggest force in the south of the Yangtze River. And then there are believers everywhere who respond. It is not necessarily impossible to unify Jiangnan. ”

Lu Shisang shook his head and said: "What Shenggu said is that it's just that Tong Guan's 20,000 pro-army are the elite of the Western Army, and they occupy a favorable position, and we want to defeat Huzhou, but I'm afraid it won't be easy." ”

Fang Baihua said with a smile: "The elite of the Western Army is also a human being, as long as we spread the news that the northwest has been invaded by the Western Xia, and the Western Xia people are massacring the resisting soldiers and civilians in the northwest, then the Tong Guan pro-army will inevitably break up and rush to return to their hometowns." Huzhou can be down with a snap of his fingers, what is there to fear. If Tong Guan recruited more Jiangnan soldiers, it would be difficult to deal with at that time. ”

Dunjia Shenmuzhou Ying Ming nodded and said: "Holy Aunt's clever plan, as long as the Huzhou sect members release these news, maybe when we arrive at Huzhou City, Tong Guan's pro-army has already dispersed." ”

Shen Gang, the god of Fuzhou, was bent on going back to Fuzhou, shook his head and said: "I don't think it maybe, if these Western Army want to return to their hometowns, when most of the Western Army is in charge, they should go back together." I heard that Tong Guan paid a lot of money to these pro-soldiers, and I am afraid that these people have long recognized the thief as their father and forgotten their hometown. If you want to separate them, I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

Lu Shisang nodded and said, "What Shen Gang said is also reasonable. ”

Fang Baihua frowned and said: "Can we separate, we will know as soon as we try, I will send a message to the sect members in Huzhou and let them take a walk." He also asked General Lu to be ready to go north at any time. ”

Lu Shisang nodded and said, "As long as the Holy Aunt's plan takes effect, we will definitely lead our troops north to attack Huzhou." ”

"Okay."

Fang Baihua didn't say anything more, turned around and left with Fang Jie.

Lu Shisang looked at the twelve gods of Jiangnan in the hall, and said with a smile: "Everyone should also go and rectify the soldiers and horses, and reorganize the people and sects who have joined, and if the weapons are insufficient, they will step up the construction of weapons, and all the armies will be familiar with the queue, don't march in chaos." ”

"Yes, the last general will retire."

"Yes, the last general will retire."

"Yes, the last general will retire."

After the twelve gods of Jiangnan left, Lu Shisang leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"General."

Lu Shisang opened his eyes, but it was the god of heaven, Fuzhou Shengang, who had just gone and returned.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Gang said: "The last general thinks that the Holy Aunt has been blinded by hatred, and attacking Huzhou is to kill everyone. ”

Lu Shisang also entered Manichaeism, but he did not believe in Manichaeism, he read military books and war strategies at a young age, and had the world in mind. He just saw that Fang La was a hero, and Manichaeism was huge, and felt that Fang La might be able to win the world, so he sold his property in exchange for money and food to give to Fang La, and he took great pains and became an important leader of Manichaeism.

As for the teachings of Manichaeism, he did not believe it at all, and when he saw Fang La's performance as emperor, he even more disbelieved it.

Manichaean teachings: Man is the product of the dark lord, indulged in lust and strife, and only the messenger of light can save man from the sea of suffering.

But the Holy Princes are all obsessed with women, let alone any messengers of light. It can be seen that there are no light messengers in this world at all, and the doctrine is just something used to fool fooled people. This is similar to Buddhism's eight sufferings, seven emotions and six desires in life, which all say how suffering there is in the world, and if you believe in them, you can get rid of these sufferings. But there are many prostitute monks in this world, which shows that people have lust, and they can't just forbid it.

After the Manichaeans broke the city, they tortured and killed all the officials, and Lu Shisang felt that it was even more undesirable. Without officials, after they conquered the state capital, who would govern them, and a group of people who had no contact with political affairs at all would become officials, but I was afraid that it would be even more ridiculous. Moreover, not all officials are bad people.

But the torture and killing of all officials was allowed by the Holy Fathers Fang La, and now that he is mainly Manichaeans, he is not allowed to prohibit it explicitly. (To be continued......)
