After Lu Shinang led his troops to the south, with the support of Wenzhou Manichaeans, he quickly captured Wenzhou, and then followed the same old routine, killing all officials and wealthy households, distributing some money and food to the people, and using the rest for military purposes.
The Manichaeans had the habit of killing officials. Muzhou was massacred, and many members of the sect and their families were massacred, which made their hatred for the officials of the Song Dynasty even deeper. After Wenzhou was conquered, all the officials were tortured and killed, including their families. It's hard to escape the poisonous hand.
Cut off their flesh, cut off their bodies, take their lungs and intestines, or boil them into ointment, pierce their bodies with arrows, and torture them in various ways to repay their blood debt and relieve the hatred in their hearts.
The cruelty of the scene made Lu Shinang unable to bear witnessing it.
On the second day after the capture of Wenzhou, Holy Aunt Fang Baihua asked Lu Shinang to summon the leaders of the sect to discuss matters. The leaders of Lu Shinang were the Twelve Gods of Jiangnan.
Fang Baihua and Lu Shinang sat at the main seats, one on the left and one on the right. Fang Jie stood behind Fang Baihua, and the twelve gods of Jiangnan sat on both sides.
Fang Baihua saw that everyone had arrived and said: "We have food and grass after we captured Wenzhou. It's time for everyone to discuss how to avenge Shenggong."
Hearing this, Lu Shinang couldn't help but frown and glanced at Fuzhou Shen Gang, the God of Heaven.
Shen Gang understood and said: "The army has been moving around for several times, and the soldiers are exhausted. The general thought that it would be not too late to let the army rest for a few days before sending out troops again."
Fang Baihua nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, let the army rest for three days, and then go north to attack Fuzhou in three days to avenge the Holy Duke. As long as Tong Guan is killed, no one in the south of the Yangtze River can stop our Manicheism." The army will then be able to revive my Manichaean religion and save the people of Jiangnan."
Lu Shinang shook his head and said: "If you want to establish Manichaeism and save the people, I think it's better to go south."
Fang Baihua frowned and said, "How to say?"
Lu Shinang said: "Tong Guan has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and he has recently established a new dynasty in Huzhou. He is recruiting soldiers and horses. It will not be easy to kill him. And if you go south, there will be many Manichaeans on the Fujian Road. , In addition, the Song Dynasty was destroyed, and various places were not under each other. If we attack one place, other places will probably not come to rescue. In this way, we can defeat Manichaeism one by one. "
Fang Baihua hasn¡¯t spoken yet. Fang Jie said casually: "If I don't avenge the Holy Duke, why should I try to revive Manichaeism? I'll gain more territory for you."
Fang Baihua frowned and scolded: "General Lu has followed Shenggong for many years and is a close confidant of my Manichaean religion. Don't talk nonsense."
Lu Shinang was also a little unhappy when he saw Fang Baihua, and explained: "It's not that we don't want to avenge the Holy Duke, but if we attack Tongguan now, even if we can capture Huzhou, we will definitely lose our troops. I'm afraid it will be very difficult to attack other state capitals by then. It¡¯s difficult, it¡¯s better to go south and attack some cities, expand the army and then attack Huzhou.¡±
Fang Baihua was not a stupid person, and immediately said: "We are going south to expand our troops, and Tong Guan is also recruiting troops, and the longer it takes, the more state capitals will be loyal to Tong Guan, and we will have to face I'm afraid it's a new court. It's better to take advantage of Tong Guan's fledgling army and kill him in one fell swoop. As long as Tong Guan dies, the remnants of the Song Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River will be leaderless. Even if we only have 30% left. Soldiers and horses. That is also the largest force in Jiangnan. If believers from all over the country respond, they may not be able to unify Jiangnan."
Lu Shinang shook his head and said: "What Shenggu said is true, but Tong Guan's 20,000 soldiers are all elites of the Western Army, and they occupy the advantageous location. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to conquer Huzhou."
Fang Baihua smiled and said: "The elites of the Western Army are also human beings. We only need to spread the news that the northwest has been invaded by Xixia and that the Xixia people are massacring the resisting soldiers and civilians in the northwest. By then, Tong Guan's army will inevitably be demoralized and rush to return home. Huzhou If Tong Guan recruits more Jiangnan soldiers, it will be difficult to deal with them. "
Dunjia God Muzhou Yingming nodded and said: "Holy Aunt's clever plan is to let the Huzhou congregation release this news. Maybe Tong Guan's pro-army will have dispersed when we arrive at the foot of Huzhou City."
However, Fuzhou Shen Gang, the God of Qingtian, only wanted to fight back to Fuzhou. He shook his head and said: "I don't think so. If these Western troops want to return to their hometown, they should go back together when most of the Western troops are reorganized. I heard It is said that Tong Guan pays these pro-soldiers a lot. I am afraid that these people have already regarded thieves as their fathers and have forgotten their hometown. It will be difficult to alienate them. "
Lu Shinang nodded and said, "What Shen Gang said makes sense."
Fang Baihua frowned and said, "We'll find out if we can break up the relationship. I'll send a message to the church members in Huzhou and let them know the news. I also ask General Lu to gather his troops and be ready to go north at any time."
Lu Shinang nodded and said: "As long as the Holy Aunt's plan takes effect, we will definitely lead our troops north to attack Huzhou."
"good."
Fang Baihua didn¡¯t say any more,He took Fang Jie with him and left.
Lu Shinang looked at the twelve gods from the south of the Yangtze River in the hall and said with a smile: "Let's all organize our troops and horses. Organize all the common people and believers who have joined. If there are insufficient weapons, we will step up to build weapons. All armies are familiar with them." Once in a queue, it¡¯s noisy even if you¡¯re not marching.¡±
"Yes, I will retire at the end."
"Yes, I will retire at the end."
"Yes, I will retire at the end."
After the twelve gods in Jiangnan left, Lu Shinang leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
"General."
Lu Shinang opened his eyes, but it was Fuzhou Shen Gang, the God of Heaven, who had left and returned.
"Is there a problem?"
Shen Gang said: "The general thinks that the holy aunt has been blinded by hatred and attacks Huzhou to kill everyone."
Lu Shinang also joined Manichaeism, but he did not believe in Manichaeism. He read military books and tactics when he was young, and he had the world in mind. He just saw that Fang La was a hero and the Manichaeism was powerful. He thought that Fang La might be able to conquer the world, so he sold his property and exchanged it for money and grain to donate to Fang La. He also worked hard and became an important leader of the Manichaeism.
As for the teachings of Manichaeism, he didn't believe it at all. Seeing Fang La's behavior after he became emperor, he didn't believe it even more.
The teachings of Manichaeism: Man is the product of the Dark Lord, addicted to war and struggle. Only the messenger of light can save man from the sea of ??suffering.
"But after Shenggong became emperor, he was obsessed with women, let alone the messenger of light. It can be seen that there are no messengers of light in this world, and doctrines are just things used to fool fools. This is similar to what Buddhism says about the eight sufferings in life and the seven emotions and six desires. They both talk about how miserable the world is, and if you believe in them, you can get rid of these sufferings. But there are many adulterous monks in this world. It can be seen that people have it and cannot be banned casually.
Lu Shinang felt that it was even more undesirable for the Manichaeans to kill all the officials after they broke into the city. Without officials, who would be asked to govern the state after they conquer it? It would be even more absurd if a group of people who had no contact with political affairs became officials. Furthermore, not all officials are bad people.
"But the murder of all officials was something that Shenggong Fangla had originally allowed, and now that his subordinates were mainly Manichaeans, he couldn't expressly prohibit it.
