In fact, Su Wen didn't even expect that he just mentioned the concept of "revolutionary theology", from which Zhenfanluohan evolved a set of behavioral patterns and began to implement it.
What Su Wen didn't expect was that the real Arhat's actions were more intense than he expected.
On the first day, Zhenfan Arhat gathered thousands of people to listen to him preach "Revolutionary Buddhism". Later, he sent several monks who had gained insights after listening to the Dharma to continue preaching elsewhere, while he himself selected a group of believers.
People attacked the rich and powerful households, distributed the food inside to the poor people, and even burned all the bonds that had been lent.
Among them were those who stubbornly resisted, and the real Arhat even raised his sword and killed them to sacrifice the flag.
In the next two or three days, an army of five thousand people appeared beside Zhenfan Arhat.
Although they can be seen as a mob at first glance, these people listened to the Buddhist teachings and divided their money, food, and land. They wore clothes made of silk that the wealthy family had hoarded like mountains, and the weapons in their hands were more than they could afford in their lifetime.
Stainless steel weapons, full of fighting spirit, ready to fight to the death with invading enemies.
"Zen Master, what do you think of our army?"
After gathering into an army, Zhenfanluohan invited Su Wen.
"It's so powerful..."
Su Wen nodded and said: "The hasty formation of the army is already very good."
In fact, all sane people know that this is a ragtag group of people. There are five thousand soldiers, but with families and families, the total number is fifty or sixty thousand.
People eat horse chews and have to support their families. The amount of food they need to consume every day is astronomical.
Fortunately, the soldiers and their families all came from lower classes and were not picky eaters. Those who stuttered could settle down, and the food and property collected from landlords and wealthy families would not be a problem for three to five months.
"But these soldiers must undergo corresponding training. Only relying on the support of Buddhism cannot be invincible."
Su Wen was a military strategist and had more say in military affairs than a real monk.
When such an army encounters the frontier troops of the Liang Dynasty, it is a matter of charge.
Even though the Sravasti State's military equipment is weak and there is no military discipline at all, after all, it has been an army for many years and there is still no problem in crushing this ragtag group of people.
"If Arhat doesn't mind it, I'm willing to help train this army horse. It should be able to slightly increase its combat power."
Su Wen made suggestions.
But this was the only suggestion after all. He didn't want the real Arhat to suspect that he wanted to seize the class and seize power.
"That's good!"
The real Arhat breathed a sigh of relief.
After encouraging the people to follow, he looked confused as to what to do next.
After all, he had been diligently studying Buddhism for the first half of his life. This was his first time doing something like rebellion and he had no experience.
Su Wen's willingness to take over the chaotic army solved the biggest problem for Zhenfan Arhat.
In this way, he only needs to go to more places to talk about "revolutionary Buddhism" and use the power of Buddhism to influence the audience to follow him.
…
"It's really ironic. Now, it seems that even the promotion of the military career path can be considered."
Su Wen laughed at himself.
He didn't expect much at first, but found that after disrupting the Buddhist kingdom, he could actually get a lot of benefits from it.
And the benefits seem to be increasing.
Of course, the risk will also become higher and higher.
However, when he thought about the attitude of Lord Liuguang and other great powers towards him, he felt that no matter how high the danger was, it couldn't be any higher.
Anyway, if he falls into the hands of a group of great monks like Theravada Buddhism, he will never end well.
After several days of work, Su Wen selected a group of qualified soldiers.
Out of five to six thousand people, only less than two thousand people who basically met the qualities of warriors were finally screened out. Su Wen was not surprised.
In fact, he thought it was a miracle that he could screen out a thousand people.
After all, those who follow the True Mortal Arhat are basically untouchables at the bottom. Years of inhuman fatigue have long destroyed the health of most people.
Fortunately, this is a Buddhist country after all. Under the universal light of the Buddha, many people's injuries can still be immersed in the Buddha's teachings and recover slowly, so that the foundation is not completely damaged and they can still survive.
After obtaining 1,800 qualified soldiers, Su Wen began to intensively train them. The food supply was also increased, and some secret medicines were even prepared and mixed into the food to enhance the soldiers' physique.
It is a pity that Yuchigang did not give Su Wen more time to train the army.
The distance from Savatthi to the border town is not that far, even including the winding roads, it is only over three hundred miles.
But when Yuchi had just gathered his legions and set off to attack the True Mortal Arhat, half a month had passed.
Ten of those days were spent marching.
I walked less than thirty miles every day.
Yuchigang himself arrived at the border town a few days in advance, but did not take action.
After all, after Silver Light Arhat turned into Silver Light Bodhisattva, he threw a pestle into the sky, and the light that bloomed could blind the eyes of many people.
Yu Chigang is not a Buddhist, he follows the bloodline power path that is popular in the Western Regions, and is a sequence five transcendent.
Sequence five extraordinary strong men correspond to the Arhat rank.
Bodhisattvas generally correspond to the sub-sages of the sixth sequence, but it is well known that Bodhisattvas generally cannot defeat the sub-sages of the extraordinary path in the pass, so they are all labeled as "quasi-sub-sages". Of course, there are exceptions. Juxian Bodhisattva is said to be able to
After a duel with Cheng Zi, it seemed that they were even in the end.
Of course, this is just a rumor. No one in Guan or in Savatthi State has proven that the two have ever crossed paths.
"The army led by Yu Chigang is stationed ten miles outside the city."
Silver Light Bodhisattva stood at the top of the city, took a casual look, and became filled with worry.
"He brought five thousand men, which is exactly the number of regular legions of Savatthi State. It is very powerful."
If the Silver Light Bodhisattva is willing to take action, it will only be a matter of time before the five thousand regular troops who only have the strength of ordinary extraordinary beings are killed.
However, Buddhist law restricts killing these people, and there will be backlash.
The backlash can even burn out the power of Buddhism in his body in an instant, and eventually the whole person turns into a handful of ashes.
Even if there is no backlash, Silver Light Bodhisattva is not willing to kill anyone.
Even if you have to.
"Strong...it depends on who is up against whom."
Su Wen smiled bitterly.
The national strength of Savatthi State is still pretty good. At least the fact that everyone in the legion is built with a lot of money and has extraordinary strength is enough to be praised.
The last time he saw an organic extraordinary legion was the extraordinary legion in Wenling Palace in Guixu.
But...
They are both legions of extraordinary beings, but there really is no comparability between the two.
This army of Sravasti is really too stretched.
Not to mention that compared with the elite army stationed deep in Guixu, the well-trained Daliang border troops could easily defeat and tear them into pieces.
"Tonight... you can mess with him!"
Su Wen quickly made up his mind and prepared to take the risk.
Although it was an adventure, in fact, Su Wen felt that the risk was not that great.
After a few days, the real Arhat still collected some private troops raised by wealthy families. The number was not large, totaling more than 300 people.
But all of them are good soldiers, trained according to the standard requirements of cavalry. They usually protect their masters when they go on business and travel. If their combat effectiveness is poor, not only their masters, but also they may be killed by horse bandits, and eventually feed the wild wolves in the desert.
, I don’t have any real ability, I’m really not good at it.
After being "influenced" by the Buddhist teachings of the True Mortal Arhat, these knights all became fanatical believers in "revolutionary Buddhism". Each of them was full of courage to devote themselves to the truth, and they wanted to immediately pick up their swords and fight to the death with Yu Chigang and other reactionary forces.
Su Wen was also secretly shocked.
He also discovered that when the True Mortal Arhat preached Buddhism, he had gone too far and used Buddhism to hypnotize many people who opposed him. This approach was somewhat similar to that of a cult.
He told Yinguang Bodhisattva about his worries, but Yinguang Bodhisattva was calm and said that he would obey the authority in urgent matters. Since Zhenfan could increase the number of believers in this way, he could also use the same method to relieve confusion. As long as Zhenfan Buddha
Don't worry, everything is still within control.
If the day comes when something goes wrong...
After all, Zhenfan is just an Arhat. He, Master Juxian and others will naturally have a way to solve this problem, so there is no need to worry.
But after hearing this, Su Wen not only did not feel relaxed, but became even more worried.
After all, this method of rapidly increasing followers is extremely tempting to eminent monks. Su Wen has no confidence that everyone can follow their true intentions and do the right thing.
"Believe in Buddhism and believe in the true Buddha."
Silver Light Bodhisattva patted Su Wen on the shoulder: "Just do what you should do, and don't worry about other things."
