"The two Buddhist and Taoist families in Jiangnan are different from Bianliang. Not only do they not fight, but they actually have a close friendship."
Zhu Wu said that since he had been in Jiangnan for so long, he had already gotten a feel for some of the local situation.
"Lingyin Temple and Dongxiao Palace hold conferences every three years. Disciples compete with each other and travel together."
Li Yu nodded slightly and said, "Where are the other temples and Taoist temples?"
"Jiangnan Taoist Temple looks after Dongxiao Palace. If there are talented disciples, they will be sent to Dongxiao Palace. The temple masters of various Taoist temples are also assigned by Dongxiao Palace. Therefore, the Taoist temples near Hangzhou are equivalent to its branches.
.Although Lingyin Temple cannot cover the sky with one hand, it is not much different."
No wonder they are so crazy, it turns out they have a monopoly.
Li Yu had always known that all the elites of the Song Dynasty were concentrated in Bianliang, so he was busy running Bianliang and did not pay much attention to other places. At most, he planted some spies in the northwest.
Now it seems that although the Song Dynasty is top-heavy, it cannot completely ignore these places.
Zhu Wu sighed and said: "These sects are united. With the current strength of our Zhengjing sect, it may be difficult to compete with them."
Li Yu smiled and said: "We can't do it, but there is one person who can."
"who?"
"Fang La!"
Zhu Wu was confused. Of course Fang La could do it, but why did he come to fight these sects?
Li Yu stood up, turned slightly to one side, and whispered: "These people rely on their status as a regular sect to hide in the city and be protected by the Song army. They do not need to be tortured by Fang La, but they are unwilling to contribute. The world
How can such a good thing happen? I plan to set up the headquarters of this bandit suppression at Lingyin Temple, and place all the food, grass and baggage in Dongxiao Palace."
"This is a plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves. Fang La is not a fool, so how could he be fooled?" Zhu Wu asked puzzledly.
Li Yu laughed and said: "The wonderful thing is that he must be fooled, because I will use the Five Elements Order to set up a formation in front of each of the two sects, and then the army will start to rest. When Fang La is done with his work, we will fight again."
As much as Li Yu wants the Nine Yang Magic, Fang La wants the Five Elements Order. This man has countless capable people under his command. Even if he caused trouble in Tokyo, he himself did not take action.
But for a small Five Elements Order, Fang La forcibly ordered his overwhelming men to withdraw their troops, and then personally led all his confidants to kill the ancient temple.
This time Li Yu planned to do something extraordinary and put the Five Elements Order in Dongxiao Palace and Lingyin Temple to see if they would come.
When the time comes, start the war directly in these two places. This is the battlefield. Get rid of all roads and fortresses.
In this way, you can avoid being backstabbed by them. Either you risk the disapproval of the world and join Fang La directly, or fight together.
If they directly surrendered to the enemy, Li Yu would not be afraid. With all the power of the Song Dynasty, two sects could not compete.
From Li Yu's point of view, although they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers, if the fight really started, they would definitely choose to work with the court to eliminate Fang La.
Although the Mingjiao is powerful, they are only king in Qingxi Cave. If they are really allowed to attack the Song Dynasty, this vast territory is full of soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty. As long as they are well organized and utilized, the Mingjiao can be said to be invincible.
No chance of winning.
During Zhao Ji's time, when the Song Dynasty was at its weakest, the Mingjiao could not even make it out to the south of the Yangtze River, let alone now——
Overnight, two large formations were set up outside Lingyin Temple and Dongxiao Palace.
The disciples of both sects pointed and wondered what it meant. The senior officials of Lingyin Temple and Dongxiao Palace also looked on coldly.
No matter what you do, I just won't go out and wait for you and Fang La to fight.
"What does this formation mean?"
"It is said to protect our disciples in Dongxiao Palace."
"Haha, it's really ridiculous. When will it be his turn to protect Dongxiao Palace?"
Zhang Zhengyuan was listening to the conversation of his disciples, but he said nothing, with a trace of worry on his young and handsome face.
Li Yu is not a person who is aimless. Although he has an arrogant attitude on the surface, he is also very afraid of this young national master in his heart.
If he is a fool who does not know what to do, Lin Lingsu will pass his position to him. No one knows who Lin Lingsu is better than them.
After a while, a disciple came from the sky. When he saw Zhang Zhengyuan, he bent down and said, "Headmaster, this disciple was ordered to go to Lingyin Temple. They also have a similar formation there."
"What the hell is he doing?"
Zhang Zhengyuan was deep in thought when suddenly his eyebrows moved. He jumped up and suddenly found thousands of troops and horses rushing towards them.
Even if a Taoist cultivator has some magical powers, he cannot compete with the army.
Those who practice Taoism are better at understanding and mastering the great ways of heaven and earth, while military commanders have practiced their killing skills to the extreme. In terms of pure fighting ability, in fact, military commanders of the same level are much more powerful than monks.
The advantage of a monk is that he has a long life, and has a greater chance of understanding life and death and transcending reincarnation.
There is absolutely no chance for Dongxiao Palace to encounter the Yue Family Army, but since they are attacking without guilt, aren't they afraid that they will completely surrender to Fang La? This is obviously against common sense.
"Master, look!"
Zhang Zhengyuan took a breath of cold air. The pioneers of the Song Army in front had already arrived at the mountain gate. The enemy was in front of them. Do they actually want to force a civil war just for the sake of a battle of spirits?
While he ordered his disciples to close the mountain gate tightly and meditate hard, the two cavalry in front came quickly.
"Who is coming?"
"I am Shenwu General Han Shizhong, and I am here to deliver the order. Because the Fang La bandits are powerful, in order to protect your sect from the bandits, I specially set up the commander's camp here. We have agreed in advance that we will only requisition the land, and you only need to continue practicing.
, no need for anyone to contribute.”
"How unreasonable!" a disciple shouted angrily.
Zhang Zhengyuan waved his hand to signal him to be silent, turned around and asked, "Why don't we discuss it?"
"In the whole world, could it be the land of the king? On the shore of the land, could it be the ministers of the king? If our court of the Song Dynasty wants to expropriate the land of the Song Dynasty, do we still need to negotiate with others?"
Zhang Zhengyuan's face was ashen, but the general opposite him was very arrogant. He raised his gun and said, "Is it possible that you don't want to?"
In front of the mountain gate, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Han Shizhong was not afraid at all. Behind him were thousands of troops, including Yue Fei, who was the most capable of fighting.
Next to him, Zhang Xian scolded directly, "You thief, is it possible that you have something in your heart and secretly acted as Fang La's liaison?"
During their bloody battle in Qingxi Cave, everyone in Jiangnan was poisoned by the Fang La Ming Cult, but these people closed their doors tightly and were not affected.
These soldiers have suffered a lot, so naturally they will not look kindly on them.
"Master, what should I do?"
"Fight or not?"
"Master!"
The disciples of Dongxiao Palace were excited. They were originally monks who were chosen one among ten thousand. They usually acted with great pride, but who knew that today they were bullied to their doorstep by a group of soldiers.
Zhang Zhengyuan's face turned livid. He stamped his feet suddenly and gritted his teeth and said: "Each of you should go back to the palace. You are not allowed to come out without permission. I will go find Deshao to discuss it."
