The scenery of the spring season is very beautiful.

Even people who are depressed will feel comfortable when they see these scenery. For those who are in a good mood, the beautiful scenery is the icing on the cake and makes people fascinated.

For Que Xuan, it would be perfect to describe his mood by using the spring breeze and horse hooves at this moment.

In the eyes of the world, with the strength of the Que family, it is too overestimated to call themselves the emperor. It is just a frog in the well. But few people will think that if it were not for this, how could the Que family quickly become famous all over the world and make the world look at it?

The Que family has been low-key for too long, and people have forgotten it. In Xia Pi, there is such a truly thousand-year-old family!

Calling one's own emperor can arouse the curiosity of the people of the world and make them involuntarily inquire about the details of the Que family. After understanding something, the thoughts that appear in people's minds will not only be ridicule and ridicule, but also feel "so that's it".

The lack of strength of the Que family will not arouse the vigilance of the princes and cause siege or strong attacks.

Especially in places like Xuzhou, all forces are still busy taking care of themselves, so how can they come to chew on this tough bone for a false reputation?

In a sense, Que Xuan's ability to seize the opportunity and his courage to take action are quite good.

In addition to these reasons, he claimed to be the emperor and another important reason, that is, he took over the forces left by Zhu Rong.

Zuo Rong has been working hard in Xia Pi for a lot over the years, building temples, shaping Buddha statues, and attracting believers. He spared no effort to make trouble. The effect was also very good. At first, the people just went for his tax exemption and porridge. But over time, many people also truly believed in it.

This is how the Chinese people are, hardworking and brave, and easy to deceive.

Later, Zuo Rong was scared away by Xu Shu, but the spirit of worshipping Buddha in Xia Pi did not change. Although no one had done detailed statistics, you could find that among the ten Xia Pi people, at least four or five families worshipped Buddha.

If such a huge base of believers is used well, it may not be impossible to achieve a career. When the Zhang Jiao brothers swept the world, wasn’t it just a Taoist Tao? In terms of bewitching power, how could Buddhism now be worse than Taoist Tao?

The East China Sea is adjacent to Xia Pi, and it has also been greatly influenced. When you walk along the road, you can see the shadows of yellow walls and red tiles from time to time.

Red symbolizes auspiciousness and joy, and yellow symbolizes wealth and solemnity. Since ancient times, the buildings of the palace have been dominated by these two colors. Therefore, Que Xuan likes Buddhism because the buildings of Buddhism are so similar to the palace.

He called himself the Emperor just to attract these believers who were abandoned by Su Rong.

Zuo Rong was first frightened by Xu Shu, and then again and again. After defeating Sun Ce, he had completely lost the mystery that he had finally created. If he just left it alone, these believers in Xia Pi who had just reached the bottom of their faith would soon be lost.

Because Zu Rong called himself Buddha Lord, it is already the highest rank in Middle-earth Buddhism. If Que Xuan wants to be higher than Zu Rong, he can only give up the title of Emperor.

The Buddha's master is useless because he has insufficient status. If he is a emperor, it would be a different matter.

This is why Que Xuan claimed to be the emperor but did not change the dynasty. In a sense, when he and Wang Yu joined him, he was a complete usurpation partner.

Que Xuan's painstaking achievements were not in vain. After the uprising, he received widespread support in Xia Pi. This time he sent troops north to compete for the East China Sea. The counties and counties where the army passed by were everywhere, and people gathered on the roads to welcome him, burned incense and prayed to him. If the people were so convinced, were they still worried that they would not be able to win?

Although he faced a strong enemy, Que Xuan was far less timid than Cao Bao and others. He had studied Wang Yu's battle examples and felt that nothing was extraordinary, but he only relied on his sharp military armor. At this point, who was the Que family afraid of? The thousand-year inheritance is not just a joke.

There are all kinds of black iron and heavy armor, alchemy, long halberds and big axes, strong bows and crossbows in the army. However, Wang Yu brought only more than a thousand personal guards, and fighting bandits is okay, but it is far from enough to deal with his elite troops.

In fact, the Qingzhou army seemed to have no choice but to use his troops. Cao Bao also had the harassement of Qingzhou Light Cavalry, and the navy also fought several battles on the Yishui River, but Que Xuan was calm along the way.

Obviously, the Qingzhou Army knew its strength, and Que Xuan was very proud.

After three days of forced marching, the army had already passed Houqiu, and within half a day of journey, we could reach Shushui. Advancing along the river, the speed of the march would be greatly accelerated, and we could attack the city of Tan County in one or two days. At that time, whether it was captured or killed or repelled Wang Yu, he would become famous all over the world, join the ranks of princes, and recreate the glory of his ancestors!

Thinking of this, Que Xuan was full of energy and wanted to sing a song to vent his passion.

At this moment, a noise suddenly came from the front army. Que Xuan was very upset and urgently ordered someone to check what had happened. Soon after, someone came to repay him, and what he brought back was an unexpected bad news.

"Report to Your Majesty, there is a temple ahead that has been demolished..."

"What?" Que Xuan was fat and trembled suddenly. The sedan chair carried by the eight people shook violently, almost overwhelming the eight bald strongmen. He shouted, his voice shrill, as if the elephant with his partner was mourning: "Who demolished my Buddhist temple?"

"Yes..." The messenger hesitated and dared not answer. Que Xuan was impatient and turned over and jumped off the sedan chair. His skills were unexpectedly agile.

"Useless things, wait for me to see them!" He kicked the messenger over and walked towards the forward army angrily.

A wisp of black smoke was seen from afar, shocking. When he got closer, Que Xuan was even more furious. He saw dozens of bald monks in front of a ruin that had burned through the roof, and were chanting scriptures. Just looking at the number of monks, you can already guess what a magnificent temple this ruined wall once was.

"Who is it? Who burned the temple and pushed down the Buddha's golden body!" An undepressed rage surged into his heart. Que Xuan was so angry that his two blood-red and his whole body was filled with murderous aura.

"Your Majesty, you are going to make the decision for us! The soldiers who burned the temple were from Qingzhou... They said. This is just the beginning. If you refuse to withdraw your troops, they will burn all the way to Quyang!"

"The thief general who led the troops was a purple-faced murderer, claiming to be Wei Wenchang in Qingzhou..."

"Before he left, he asked for the path. He said he wanted to burn it one by one..."

When they saw Que Xuan, the monks found their backbone and began to talk in tears.

The incident happened very simply. Just yesterday, someone kicked open the gate of the temple and broke into it, drove all the monks into the yard, and then destroyed it. Finally, he set a fire and burned the temple to ruins.

Except for the monks who tried to stop the other party from setting fire, no one was injured or killed. However, the perpetrators were so arrogant that they burned the temple and even spoke harshly, which scared the monks and were frightened and panicked all day long.

If Que Xuan's army had not arrived, these monks might have thrown away the monk's robes and returned to secular life.

"Sir! The Buddha's enemy! He bullies too much! He dares to do this great deed. I must tear him into pieces and conquer him in the Avici Hell, and suffer the pain of burning his body with the fire of karma. He will never be reborn!" Que Xuan almost got furious.

What kind of invincible champion Hou, General of the Cavalry... is so vulgar!

Fearing that his armored soldiers were not afraid to fight head-on, he sent a vulgar Wei Yan out. He brought a group of more vulgar military soldiers to bully unarmed and peaceful monks and destroy temples everywhere?

Is it tolerable?

Hearing that Wei Yan had left a clue, he waved his hand and ordered: "Come here! Follow the words of several junior brothers, chase after him. You must catch Wei Yan, cut him into pieces to warn him!"

"Abide by the order!" The general and the officer responded, turned around and wanted to go to fight.

"Slow!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, then walked quickly to Que Xuan, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "General Que, can you listen to the next sentence?"

"Hmph." Que Xuan snorted coldly as he looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes extremely unkind.

Although he has been called lonely for a few days, he has become accustomed to others' respect. Some people in Leng Ding speak in such a humble tone, even if they try to pay attention to the influence, it still makes him very upset. What's more, the other party's emergence at this time obviously wants to dissuade him. How can he be happy?

The young man had a good temper and did not take it as he was disrespectful. He whispered: "Wei Yan's move is obviously for you, General. If you divide your troops to chase and suppress him, then it will hit him. In the following opinion, it is better for the general to calm him down and continue to advance according to the original plan..."

"Then let this agent ignore it? Let him burn all the way to Quyang?" Que Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with hatred: "Chen Yuanlong, do you know how much impact this will have on my reputation and the faith of the church members? Do you think this can be compensated by the mere boy Wang Yu's head?"

Chen Deng knew that Que Xuan was exaggerating and was bargaining. He was not angry at the moment and replied calmly: "The Hidden Mist Army led by Wei Wenchang is best at fighting in the mountains and forests. If the general chases him, he will not only be unable to stop him from destroying and burning the temple, but will also be used by the other party to use the tricks to carry out ambush and attacks."

"On the other hand, if the general ignores it, he will make a boring thing, so he will naturally retreat and return to the rescue. Although Wang Pengju is bold and reckless, he has nothing to do with the church. What reason should he destroy all the temples?"

"Of course, this disaster of your sect was caused by Deng's proposal. The general promoted the righteous army and fought against the powerful king Yu. This was a righteous act. The losses of your sect will be borne by our Chen family to do our best to do our best."

First, he used his power, then followed suit, and finally gave some benefits. Chen Deng's few words hit the point. After hearing this, Que Xuan's anger remained unabated, but his heart began to measure gains and losses.

General Que Xuan was moved, and Chen Deng continued to increase his efforts: "The reason why Wang Pengju made great achievements in his military use is because he can hit the nail on the head every time, use the weaknesses of the people's hearts to attack. If the general can suppress his anger, advance steadily, and defeat Wang Yu, this battle will definitely be a good story, and it will be of great benefit to the teachings of your religion. Please think deeply."

"Yes." Que Xuan was really moved this time.

Even though he knew that he was a fraud, as the supreme leader of Buddhism, he could not remain indifferent when the temple was destroyed, right? This would cause great damage to his reputation. But if he promoted this to be Wang Yu's cunning plan, he could see through and counter it, there would be no problem, and it would also arouse the anger of the church members towards Wang Yu.

He said with a calm face: "As far as Mr. Chen said, please don't forget the many promises you made."

Chen Deng smiled slightly and replied casually: "General, don't worry, although the Chen family in Guangling is not a high-ranking family, its reputation is still very good. After the matter is completed, Donghai and Xia Pi are owned by the general. My father will jointly sign a local tyrant family and recommend the general as the governor of Xuzhou. He will never go back on his word."

Que Xuan's face suddenly turned cloudy and he said happily: "Mr. Chen really believes in people." (To be continued...)
