Yi Song

Chapter 261 Wuyou Cave is destroyed again

In a blink of an eye, it was July of the first year of Xuanhe. Fang Tianbao and Wang Buddha stayed in Bianjing City for more than two months. During this period, they went to Jingzhao Mansion and then to Taiyuan City, which was undergoing major construction projects.

But most of the time, I still stayed in Bianjing, waiting for the opportunity to go north to Mobei.

It was originally agreed to leave in May, but at the end of April, a secret message from Liu Guozhang suddenly came from Mobei. Major changes were made to the supplies going north and the deployment in the Hetao and Yinshan areas.

After some delay, Wang Yan and Chen Guang stayed in Bianjing for more than two months to continue maintaining security in Kaifeng Mansion.

At dawn, Fang Tianbao came back from a house in Mingshifang with heavy steps and smelled of alcohol.

"Master, how much did you drink last night?"

"Four pots of Liquan wine, one pound of cooking knives." Fang Tianbao replied proudly.

"My dear, four pots of Liquan wine are worth four kilograms of ordinary turbid wine. And one kilogram of burning knives, my Buddha, even the golden body of Arhat can't withstand it."

Buddha Wang stepped forward to support Fang Tianbao and greeted the servant loudly.

"My boss, Xue Gongsu, Wang Shouxu and Wei Wuya, are the last batch of surrendered ministers from the former Hexi Han people who returned to Shaanxi."

"Hurry and fetch hot water, make strong tea, and make sobering soup for my boss to sober up."

"It's decided. Get on Liu Erlang's ship!" Fang Tianbao stood up and stretched, "Actually, last year, when we cooperated with Liu Erlang's Political Security Bureau to mobilize Xingqing Mansion, we already boarded the ship. "

"In mid-April, Qian Jili, Tu Guanxiao, and Tian Bangchen were robbed and killed by thieves from Wuyou Cave. Immediately afterwards, the seven Han families in Hexi, including Wu, Han, and Tian, ​​were unwilling to move and plotted rebellion in Lingzhouchuan. They were captured by a group of people. Hit and break, killing everyone in the house.

My father's Muni sect is said to be spread throughout Zhejiang and Jiangdong. In comparison, it is simply a bad grass-roots group. "

The Western Army has 300,000 soldiers, the Kongtong Mountain Lotus Temple officer training class, the Jingzhao Prefecture Qindu Town Fengshui official selection training class, each session in March and May, with 300 to 500 people in each session, are rushing out.

"Have a good drink! I never thought that I could have the same temperament as Xue Gongsu, Wang Shouxu and Wei Wuya." Fang Tianbao staggered, and with Wang Buddha's support, he sat down under the bench in the yard.

"In addition to the Hongying Party, there is also the Red Heart Society. Three thousand Hwarangs started, and now the Hongying Party has at least 40,000 to 50,000 members. The Red Heart Society probably has three thousand members."

The remaining five Han families in Hexi, including Wei, Ge, and Chunyu, moved to their hometowns along with the four major families of Xue, Wang, Liang, and Zhang. Haha, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, an old opera that has been sung for thousands of years. "

Fang Tianbao was stunned for a moment, "Buddha, you are right to remind me. Forty to fifty thousand is indeed a small amount. Such a manpower is hidden under the water, but it operates freely and effectively. Liu Erlang is far away in Mobei, what should be done Someone did it, and it was done pretty well, without any delay.

Wang Buddha looked at Fang Tianbao and asked solemnly: "My boss, have you really made a decision?"

"Yes, Liu Erlang is very resourceful. These former Han Chinese families of the Hexi family are obedient and will buy land and move there honestly."

"Hongying Party?"

Buddha, do you know what I fear most about Liu Erlang? "

"Proprietor, I think you are underestimating it. There are 500,000 men and women in the Changshui Army, the Desheng Army, the Desui Army, and the Zhongba Army. There must be 50,000 young men and women. Half of them are Hwarangs, so there are two or three Ten thousand.

"Haha, Buddha, don't be afraid of old age in drama, as long as it sounds good. Don't be afraid of old age in strategy, as long as it works. Liu Erlang is very good at killing people and killing people.

Heaving a long sigh of relief, Fang Tianbao felt much more comfortable.

Everyone who enters these two classes has been carefully selected. Who will not be absorbed into the Hongying Party? I'm afraid some of them are backbone members of the True Heart Society. "

Wei Wuya, this guy probably followed Liu Erlang early, and then pretended to hang out with Qian Jili, Tu Guanxiao, Tian Bangchen and others. Everything has been seen clearly, and if he were to die in the third watch, the Lord of Hell would not be able to survive in the fifth watch.

Buddha Wang waved his hand and signaled the servants to leave, leaving them alone in the backyard.

He took the hot tea from the servant and took a few sips. He took the green salt and boar bristle toothbrush, brushed his teeth and mouth, then took the basin of hot water and washed his face with a towel.

Wang Buddha shook his head, "I never expected it. We and Liu Erlang were intertwined and entangled until now, and ended up becoming friends. We were one of the promoters of the Huaibei field tiger incident over there.

Liu Erlang must have known this very well, but he kept it to himself and continued to be friends with us regardless of past grudges. It's really beyond my imagination. Liu Erlang is open-minded and generous, knows people well and uses them well, and is strict and lenient. He has the style of the great ancestor. "

Fang Tianbao smiled tacitly, "Reading history books, the ancestors of entrepreneurship in the past dynasties were all open-minded and ambitious, so they could achieve great things. I once read the textbook secretly spread by the Red Heart Society and compiled by Liu Erlang.

There is a saying in it that when starting a business, you must be open-minded and good at uniting. The more friends you have, the easier it will be to achieve success. Same reason. "

"What about after starting a business?" Fang Tianbao glanced at Wang Buddha and looked up at the rising sun in the sky.

"Lu Buwei's rare goods are habitable, but unreliable. What is truly reliable is to bleed and work hard, to work hard with his head tied to his belt, and to use his life and property to invest in shares to make up for the business."

"Bang bang!" Someone was banging on the backyard door.

"What's the matter!" Buddha Wang stepped forward and opened the door, revealing a nervous face.

"My boss, Manager Wang, just received the news that the Master of Palace Houde was suddenly attacked and killed by gangsters on his way back to the mansion last night."

"A gangster attacked and killed him? Who has such a big burden?" Wang Buddha was shocked.

"I don't know who the bad guys are at the moment. I only know that they came out of the Wuyou Cave. There were nearly a hundred people. They advanced and retreated in a controlled manner, were brave and good at fighting. They went straight to the palace owner with the intention of kidnapping.

The Palace Lord's escort was first killed and caught off guard. Fortunately, they were well-trained and reacted immediately. After receiving the signal, the Military Patrol and the Forbidden Army came to support and fought to the death to drive back the criminals.

The gangsters left sixty corpses behind, and the rest fled into Wuyou Cave and disappeared. The convoys, military patrols and imperial troops suffered hundreds of casualties. "

Fang Tianbao and Wang Buddha looked at each other, their expressions becoming more solemn.

"You dare to attack, kill and kidnap the Houde Palace Master. You are very courageous. He actually killed and injured hundreds of guards, soldiers and imperial guards, and was able to escape with some of them. It is not something that ordinary people can do. You must be an elite in the army."

"My boss, the Khitan Pishi Army?"

"It's possible. Among the elite troops of the Song Dynasty, 70% are in the Western Army, all under Liu Erlang's control. 30% are in the Palace Front Division, and Gao Qiu is his ally, and he doesn't have the guts to do this.

There are still some elites in Xixia who are willing to take revenge. It's just that they can't protect themselves and can barely support themselves in Hexi. How can they still have the energy to do this? Besides, Liu Erlang runs Shaanxi like an iron barrel. If the party members have this intention, they must be able to fly over.

The rest is the North Liao Pishi Army. It's just that they are not familiar with the place, so someone must take care of them. "

"There is someone in the court who hates Liu Erlang and his party! He knows that the Master of Houde Palace is his weakness. Boss, who do you think he is?"

"You won't be able to guess it for a while. The only thing I can be sure of is that those dogs in Wuyou Cave will survive in less than two days."

"Boss, those bastards are hiding in Wuyou Cave and have no way of starting."

"Haha, Liu Erlang has a plan for these people, but he just lacks an opportunity. Now that the opportunity has come, no one in the Hongying Party dares to dissuade this matter."

"Master, what's the plan?"

Fang Tianbao didn't say anything, he just looked up at the sky and said, "Summer floods and autumn floods are all in one place. The water in this river rises really fast."

King Buddha was thoughtful.

On the fourth day, it rained for four days in the west of Beijing and two days in the capital area. The Bian River, Wuzhang River, Jinshui River, and Cai River all surged.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, half of the people in Kaifeng City heard a few muffled clicks coming from underground. Then someone rushed to tell them, "Wuyou Cave is flooded."

Wuyou Cave is composed of old rivers and ditches from all dynasties in Bianjing City, and is independent of several rivers inside and outside the city.

For some unknown reason, more than a dozen places close to the river were suddenly cut through, and a large amount of river water surged in, quickly filling all the old river channels and hidden ditches. Wuyou Cave became an underground river cave.

In the evening, hundreds of corpses floated out of Wuyou Cave and flowed into the river, with more and more corpses floating out.

After hearing the news, countless people came and watched in the rain.

People with sharp eyes saw that most of the corpses were "heroes" hidden in Wuyou Cave, some were "servants" who were kidnapped by them, and there were even women and children kidnapped by them.

Two days later, the heavy rain stopped, and Kaifeng Prefecture collected 3,160 floating corpses, mostly young and strong men, with some women and children.

Some parts of Wuyou Cave were soaked in water and collapsed, and some parts continued to become underground river caves, making it impossible to hide people.

In August, when the city of Kaifeng was hotly discussing the complete destruction of Wuyou Cave, Fang Tianbao and Wang Buddha finally followed Wang Yan and Chen Guang and set off north to Mobei.
