Liu Yu handed the order to Huo Bing, and then looked at the generals around him. At this time, everyone was looking at him with a cautious look. Liu Yu knew that these people were thinking about what he was going to do. "From now until this time tomorrow, there will be a special operation. No one is allowed to leave their post without permission, and no one needs to rest. Remember, this is a war, so show some blood!" Liu Yu said One sentence, others still don¡¯t understand. Liu Yu didn¡¯t say much. He wanted to wait for Huo Bing to mobilize his troops before making detailed arrangements. Liu Yu first determined the exact locations of the hundreds of temples in the city, and then made a sudden operation to check all the monks and temple priests, because he believed that Su Zhe was hiding among them. Others didn't quite understand, but Liu Liniang had already guessed it from Liu Yu's words before. Liu Yu had revealed to Liu Liniang before that he knew Su Zhe's hiding place, and then immediately sent Li Mi to coordinate all the temples in Chang'an City. The specific location map naturally made her think that the hiding place of Su Zhe mentioned by Liu Yu was among these temples. It's just that things are a little strange. It's hard for her to understand why Liu Yu is so sure. The New Army is not outside the city at this time, but only in the outer city. Previously, Chang'an City was purged of the Three Puritans, and the third, fourth, and fifth armies of the New Army stationed in the city are all in the outer city, waiting for dispatch at any time. This time Liu Yu transferred these three groups of troops into the inner city, which once again created a tense atmosphere in the city. Marching in Chang'an City has always meant that something big will happen. When Huo Bing came back, it was already time to turn on the lights. Huo Bing had a look of disgrace on his face, because this was a mission that he didn¡¯t know what to do at all. He was neither asked to charge into battle nor given a reward, which made him very depressed. Liu Yu looked at the people around him. These people had been waiting for a long time. It¡¯s also time to arrange tasks. "Operation overnight." Liu Yu first determined the time of the operation. "From the end of the meeting, Chang'an City will be under complete martial law. After the martial law, anyone who goes to the market will be killed without mercy!" This sentence made the atmosphere in the entire military department hall a little tense. Condensation. "The City Defense Department Yamen is responsible for the hundreds of temples in the east, north and south directions of the outer city. The Jingzhao Mansion is responsible for the temples on the west side of the outer city, and the New Army is responsible for the temples in the inner city. At midnight tonight, we will take action at the same time. At the same time Search these temples and detain everyone in the temples. Even ordinary pilgrims will never be let go." When all the generals heard what Liu Yu said, they finally understood what they were going to do today. It turned out that they were going to search. temple. "His Royal Highness Lin Wang. Who are you trying to arrest? Or the cult members? Could it be that there are people from cults sneaking into the monks?" Liu Yu glanced at the person who asked the question and said, "No need to ask about these, just follow the order. Just do it." Huo Bing shouted, "Then why do you want me to send troops into the inner city? Wouldn't it be more convenient for me to lead the army to search in the outer city?" Liu Yu glanced at Huo Bing, his eyes sharp. . Huo Bing was not afraid of anything, and when he saw Liu Yu's eyes, he felt a little frightened. Every time Liu Yu looked at him like this, it would make him feel in danger. Originally, what Huo Bing said was indeed correct. It would indeed be more convenient to let people from the New Army and the Sixth Defense Department be in charge of the outer city, and let the Jingzhao Mansion be in charge of the inner city. But Liu Yu was afraid that once Su Zhe was found in the temple and Su Zhe jumped over the wall, the inner city would need a group of people to maintain the overall situation. In the past, it was the Royal Forest Army that was responsible for guarding the inner city. At this time, the Royal Forest Army had been disbanded and replaced by the New Army and the Female Army. The Female Army had shortcomings in maintaining the overall situation, and the number of New Army soldiers was too small. There were no New Army guards in the entire palace. The total is not enough for two thousand troops. This time, the new troops from Huo Bing's Third Division were allowed to enter the inner city to guard against any emergencies and maintain the stability of the palace. Afterwards, Liu Yu issued very detailed orders, including how to go to those temples, when to set off, and how to prevent people in the temples from noticing the news in advance. Liu Yu did everything so comprehensively that it made people feel that he felt that purging the Three Puritans was not enough, and was planning to wipe out the temples in Chang'an City. Although in the previous dynasties, bans on Buddhas often occurred, the Shun Dynasty has always promoted enlightened ideas, and there has never been a ban on Buddhas in the past two or three hundred years. Liu Yu's actions made many people want to persuade him, but they felt that Liu Yu was firm and speechless. At this time, people who feel that it is inappropriate to ban Buddhism will naturally want to ask Han Sheng to help, because among the people present, there are also Buddhist believers, or there are Buddhists in their families. "Okay, that's all, the meeting is dismissed." Liu Yu said the last thing and asked everyone to go back and prepare. Li Mi was about to have a small meeting with the people from the Sixth Defense Department to implement Liu Yu's arrangements just now, but at this time he came to Liu Yu first and said: "Brother Liu, could you be more cautious? Make a decision after deliberation at the court meeting?¡±"Liu Yu said: "There is nothing to discuss. Things are not what you think. What I am looking for this time is not the monks, but the people who are disguised as monks. In fact, they are also people from the Three Purities Sect. You You should understand what's going on." Li Mi suddenly realized that Liu Yu said this. If he didn't understand, he really lacked political understanding. This is because the drunkard's intention is not to find the Buddha, but to focus on the people in the Buddha. Li Mi also left, and Liu Yucai breathed a long sigh of relief. He did not return to the palace, nor did he go to the front line in person. He was just in the Liuzi Military Department Yamen. In the huge Military Department Yamen, he and Liu Liniang were the only ones left. "Twelve Young Masters, how are you sure that person is in the temple?" Liu Liniang had never understood. At this time, he couldn't help but ask. "Li Niang still remembers how we saw him in Lang County the day before yesterday?" Liu Liniang nodded and thought about it, but didn't think there was anything that reminded her of him. "At that time, I felt that the clothes seemed familiar, and there were some things that I had overlooked. In the past few days, I have been thinking about what went wrong." Liu Yu suddenly laughed at himself and said, "Later I figured it out. Yes, it was his hat. An ordinary hat, no matter what kind of hat it is, does not need to be so wide, but he wore a very big hat that covered his head. When he turned around, there was no hair on the back. This means that he shaved off all his hair, haha. He thought that if he hid in a Buddhist temple and disguised himself as a monk, no one would notice him. Even when we were looking down, we would not have thought that he was a dignified member of the Three Puritans. The leader, the former King of Chu, would hide in a Buddhist temple and become a monk. This is his cleverness, and it is also his biggest oversight." Liu Liniang frowned, and suddenly he felt that Liu Yu was a little obsessed. What did Liu Yu say before? They were all convinced, but this time, she couldn't believe it was true. ¡°At least now Liu Yu doesn¡¯t have any evidence to prove that Su Zhe is hiding in the Buddhist temple. When Liu Yu saw Su Zhe in Lang County that day, he also took a look from a distance. She was present at the time and what she saw was no different from Liu Yu's. She felt that Su Zhe's attitude at that time was normal and he was not dressed like a monk. . Su Zhe was still wearing a hat at that time, so he was so sure that Su Zhe had no hair? Even if you have no hair, you don't have to be a monk. Even if you are a monk, you don't need to be a monk in a dangerous place like Chang'an City. Liu Liniang wanted to persuade Liu Yu not to have too much hope, but when the words came to her lips, she held back. As the woman behind Liu Yu, she didn't want to fight the fire Liu Yu had just raised. Compared to Liu Yu's sudden despondency and indifference before, she still prefers Liu Yu who is full of fire now. Such Liu Yu is the real Liu Yu in her mind. Liu Yu was determined to completely wipe out Su Zhe and the Sanqing Sect. At this time, Liu Yu's eyes contained a huge murderous intention. Liu Liniang watched from the side and suddenly felt that this scene was somewhat familiar, but also unfamiliar. Three days ago, Liu Yu was waiting in the tent for news of Huo Bing's pursuit. The scene at that time was roughly the same as now. But at that time, Liu Yu looked much more depressed than he does now, because at that time Liu Yu already had a premonition that the pursuit would not yield big results, but this time, Liu Yu seemed to have a winning chance, so his expression was full of confident expectations. . Outside the Yamen of the Ministry of War, many soldiers were walking around. Martial law began in Chang'an City, and the launch of Operation Demon Buddha at this time required coordination from top to bottom of the military department, and the news must not be leaked beforehand. Troops had to be mobilized to prepare around the temples. Martial law also needed to be enforced at all intersections to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation. Escape at night There are many things going on, which makes everyone in the Ministry of War anxious. This was also Liu Yu's attempt to create problems for the Ministry of War and even the military of the Dashun Dynasty. But the action still started on time at midnight. Operation Thunder began in an organized and premeditated manner. More than 10,000 soldiers from the Sixth Defense Department, more than 1,000 government officials, and more than 4,000 New Army soldiers in the city simultaneously attacked more than 300 buildings in the city. Temples All the temples in the city were quiet after nightfall, but because of this action, they became overwhelmed with people. All kinds of people were pulled up from their sleep, most of them were ordinary monks, there were some temple priests, or guests staying in the temple, and even men and women having affairs in the temple Waiting for them Awakened by the noise, soldiers and government officials also came to them. Regardless of whether they had just woken up or whether they were wearing clothes, they were all arrested one by one, or taken to the Liufangsi Yamen for temporary detention. Prison, or be taken to Jingzhao Mansion. For the ordinary people in Chang'an City, this is just a night with an ordinary curfew. Normal people fall asleep at night, and there is a little chaos outside. That has nothing to do with them. By the next day, they can live normally as usual. But for the people in the temple in the city, this night was a disaster, because most of them had nothing to do with the matter, and Liu Yu only "suspected" that there was someone hiding among them. As the operation to exterminate the Buddha unfolded, various news spread to the Yamen of the Ministry of War and reached Liu Yu's hands. Liu Liniang was listening and watching. She felt that these things were a bit ridiculous and were simply trying to disturb the normal security of Chang'an City. But in the end, things happened in the end. At the end of the day, Li Mi hurriedly came back from outside and reported that there was an explosion in a temple in the city. Not only did all the temple buildings collapse, but even many soldiers from the Sixth Defense Department who went to search were killed and injured. . Only then did Liu Liniang realize that Liu Yu's worries were not just groundless.
