"The retreat of Yuanting's army this time already means that Yuanting's rule has reached its end."
Yuanting has been in decline, and will even weaken completely as the internal fighting intensifies. On the other hand, the rebel side has been developing and growing as a whole.
The future world will definitely belong to the rebels. Anyone who knows some history will know what the future situation will be like. Su Cheng came from later generations, so he naturally knows more than others.
"Father, he..."
Zhao Min looked a little worried. She naturally had some understanding of King Ruyang's situation. With so many troops under his command, he was definitely a thorn in the eyes of many people in Yuanting. Although he successfully retreated this time, things would not be like this.
When it ends, Yuanting's attacks will follow immediately.
"King Ruyang must have been prepared for all this, so don't worry anymore."
Su Cheng couldn't persuade him too much. Although King Ruyang had selfish motives, he would never betray Yuanting. Even if he wanted to intervene, there was nothing he could do.
Judging from the original plot, although the ending of King Ruyang is not given, it is not difficult to imagine that his final end must not be very good.
In real history, King Ruyang was assassinated by a subordinate general. The meaning of being assassinated under heavy protection is self-evident.
At this time, Zhang Wuji, Xu Da and others also came to the city wall. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw King Ruyang dispatching the army according to the plan.
The rebels are currently not strong enough to fight desperately, so it is naturally the best choice to avoid this fight.
"This King of Ruyang is indeed a powerful person. It's a pity that our positions are different, otherwise the general would really want to have a drink with him."
Xu Da said sincerely that he knew more about King Ruyang's abilities than anyone else present. Over the years, it can be said that the only person who has posed the greatest threat to the rebels in Yuanting is King Ruyang.
There were many internal contradictions in Yuanting and it had already been corrupted for a long time. Unless it was a figure like King Ruyang, the ordinary dignitaries of Yuanting ignored most of the rebels and only cared about enjoying happiness or fighting for power.
"Yes, King Ruyang's family..."
Zhang Wuji wanted to praise the Ruyang Wang family for their abilities, but as he was about to speak, he thought of Zhao Min next to him and stopped talking.
Su Cheng knew what Zhang Wuji meant. The Ruyang Prince family was indeed a hero. Needless to say, Prince Ruyang, and Zhao Min's abilities were obvious to all. Even Wang Baobao was extremely powerful.
After King Ruyang died in the future, Wang Baobao became the mainstay of Yuanting. If it were not for this person, Yuanting would have been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty long ago. Even Zhu Yuanzhang would praise Wang Baobao as a strange man in the world.
"Wuji, Yuanting's army will retreat soon. How have you considered the matters you and I discussed before?"
Su Cheng asked about another matter, which related to whether the future relationship between Mingjiao and Quanzhenjiao would be cooperation or struggle.
"Brother Su, I...I have discussed it with the brothers in the church. Although everyone agrees with your plan, there is still a lot of controversy over how to do it."
Zhang Wuji glanced at Xu Da. In fact, the controversial point is that once the two parties join forces, how to resolve their leadership positions and interests. This is the most fundamental thing.
In fact, if it weren't for Su Cheng's superb martial arts skills, the Mingjiao would definitely not agree to this matter. After all, whether in terms of the number of masters or the number of rebels, the Mingjiao far exceeds the Quanzhenjiao, and there is no need to cooperate at all.
"This matter is normal. There will be conflicts in everything, let alone this kind of cooperation. We just need to agree on common ground while reserving differences, and you and I can discuss it slowly."
Su Cheng had already expected this. If things were really that easy, it would be really ridiculous. This was because he had a certain level of strength, otherwise he would not even be qualified to talk to the Ming Cult.
For seven consecutive days, Xu Da led his men out of the city to break out of the siege, and each time there were casualties. Until the eighth day, Yuanting's army suddenly began to retreat in an orderly manner.
The rebels in the city did not leave the city to pursue them, not only because of the obstruction of Su Cheng and Zhang Wuji, but also because they were unable to catch them.
The million-strong army retreated in an orderly manner. With King Ruyang's ability to manage the army, there was no loophole left at all. He rushed out of the city to attack, which was just a matter of death.
After King Ruyang left, Su Cheng stopped paying attention to it. He took Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao and others to discuss the next cooperation matters with Mingjiao. After determining the general direction, he took the people away.
What Su Cheng wants to do now is to go to Tianning Temple in Jingzhou and take out the treasure.
Jingzhou, where Tianning Temple is located, is a full seven or eight hundred miles away from Yingtian Mansion. Buried inside is the wealth left by Emperor Wu of Liang. It will not be discovered until at least three to four hundred years later.
Su Cheng was not sure how much wealth there was, but the thousands or even tens of thousands of kilograms of pure gold Buddha statues in the temple were worth more than a million dollars in silver.
Su Cheng did not bring Zhao Min, Xiao Zhao, nor Tong Hui and others, but in order to facilitate the transportation of the treasure, he still brought five hundred rebels. Although the number was not large, it was enough to transport the treasure.
After arriving in Jingzhou, Su City sent people to inquire about the whereabouts of Tianning Temple, and found that it was somewhere in the south and west of the city. The place was somewhat remote, but there were many pilgrims, and it was not abandoned as it would be a hundred years later.
When night fell, the pilgrims retreated, and Su Cheng led five hundred rebels and hundreds of carriages to directly surround the entire Tianning Temple.
"Why do you feel a bit like a robber?"
Su Cheng sighed secretly, but did not hesitate. The treasures of Tianning Temple were originally ownerless. They were obtained by Emperor Liang Yuan who looted the people's fat and anointed people, and used them to fight against the Yuan Dynasty. This is what they should be used for.
.
Surrounded by the rebels, such a big movement had naturally been noticed by the monks in the temple. The abbot immediately summoned the monks in the temple, dozens of them, and came outside the temple to confront the rebels.
"This general... Young Master, for some unknown reason, led troops and surrounded my Tianning Temple?"
The abbot has a round face, big ears, and a strong body. From the aura, he looks like a second-rate master. As for the monks behind him, they are all third-rate masters. They are already a good force.
In the current situation, if a force does not have corresponding masters, it is impossible to defend its own place. Most monks are not engaged in production and have accumulated huge wealth, which is actually the place where masters are most likely to appear.
"I have no choice but to come here today. I also ask all the eminent monks to rest here for a while. I will lead someone to take some things from the temple."
Su Cheng shook his head, then stepped forward, his palms flying, and the fierce and domineering palm power roared in the air, instantly defeating the formation of dozens of monks.
"Amitabha... almsgiver, please give me your permission."
The abbot breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately knew that he had met a strong man. He even vaguely guessed Su Cheng's identity. He immediately admitted defeat and stood quietly beside him with a group of monks.
"Okay, abbot, don't worry, I won't hurt anyone."
Su Cheng nodded, leaving a hundred people to guard him, and then led people directly into the temple and went to the Main Hall. At a glance, he saw a Buddha statue more than three feet high, sitting on the lotus platform. The outside of the Buddha statue was coated with a layer of clay sculpture, and
