Zhu Nao

A month later, Yanzhou.

Jiao Bie returned to his residence after inspecting the tower, and just entered the courtyard when he heard footsteps in his room, as if someone was pacing back and forth anxiously inside.He already guessed who the person in the room was, and suddenly felt that one head was two big, and his mood became anxious.

But no matter how anxious you are, you still have to face what you have to face.He rubbed the center of his brows, bit the bullet and continued walking in.

Sure enough, as he expected, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Shi An with "temper" written all over his face.As soon as Shi An saw him coming in, he immediately rushed towards him, dancing excitedly and spitting everywhere: "General Jiao, something is wrong! I just received the news that we were captured again by those Shu soldiers yesterday. More than 100 people! More than 100!!!”

Jiao Bie said coldly: "Since you already knew that it was a trick set by them, why did you send someone there again? You are overthinking yourself!"

"What are you talking about?!" Shi An was furious, "Do you know what scripts and scripts they have compiled? How dare they call Shijun a weasel spirit! Don't I do nothing, just Just let them spread rumors and make trouble?!"

Jiao Bie secretly said: Spread rumors to make trouble?When it comes to spreading rumors and causing trouble, who can compare to you?

Of course, he thought so in his heart, and he would never say it out of his mouth.

Jiao Bie is the current guard of Yanzhou City.He used to be an officer under Xie Wuji. When Yanzhou was in danger, he was the one who rebelled under the instigation of Xuantian Sect, killed the original guard Gu Ping, and replaced him himself.After he brought Yanzhou City into the banner of Xuantian Sect, Henry Zhang, in order to reward him, named him the "Zhitou Grand Sacrifice Wine" of Xuantian Sect. He has a very high status and can enjoy the worship of hundreds of thousands of believers.

But Jiao Bie was a soldier after all, even though he was appointed, he didn't know much about the affairs of Xuantian Sect, nor was he interested.He didn't believe in religion at all, and the rebellion was only driven by interests.Henry Zhang wanted to let the Xuantian Sect take root in Yanzhou, and he could not be counted on, so he sent Shi An, the "flag leader" to Yanzhou.In the name of assisting Jiao Bie in handling the affairs of the church, in fact he is also supervising Jiao Bie—yes, supervising.

How loyal is Jiao Bie to Henry Zhang?How much trust can Henry Zhang Jiao don?It's all about what they need.

Jiao Bie inspected the place all morning, tired and thirsty, so he walked to the table and sat down, pouring tea for himself.Seeing that Jiao Bie was indifferent to what he said, Shi An became even more annoyed.

The people arranged by Zhu Nao have been talking and singing in the vicinity of Yanzhou for a month.In the first few days, when the believers in various sub-bases heard that someone dared to smear Zhang Shijun and Xuantian Sect with drama, they immediately prepared to kill people with swords, guns and sticks as usual to silence them.But what I didn't expect was that every storyteller and troupe were surrounded by soldiers secretly protecting them. As soon as the believers rushed over, they failed to kill, and instead fell into the trap.In just a few days, hundreds of believers were arrested!

Shi An, as the actual highest authority of the Xuantian Sect in Yanzhou, when he received the news, hundreds of followers had already been lost.He knew that all of this was caused by Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao, and he tried many ways to stop it, but all failed.In order not to lose his hands for no reason, he was also quiet for a while.But he is quiet, Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao will not stop.

The book is told one scene after another, and the play is performed one scene after another.Although Yanzhou City has not yet been invaded by Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji's forces under Jiao Bie's tight control, the storyteller and theater troupe naturally couldn't come in to perform, as if they couldn't stop Youyou's mouth.Now the common people in the city are also starting to discuss the weasel becoming a spirit, which shows that the story made up by Zhu Nao has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people! !

Shi An felt that this could not go on like this.He deeply understands that the foundation of the Xuantian Sect is the human heart, if the enemy robs the human heart, their building will collapse in an instant.So he decided to fight hard, no matter what, he would win back first.

Yesterday, he ordered hundreds of believers to gather to attack a platform set up by Shu people, thinking that no matter what, he would destroy a platform first, kill a group of Shu soldiers and storytellers, and at least restore some momentum for Xuantian Cult.It's a pity that those believers had the courage but no actual combat skills. Hundreds of people rushed to use them, but they were knocked down by more than [-] well-trained Shu soldiers like cutting melons and vegetables, and then captured half.

The momentum could not be restored, but the loss was even more serious!

Before joining forces with the Marquis of Qingyang to deal with Xie Wuji, Xie Wuji rebelled against his army. Nearly [-] of the most elite disciple army under Shi An's command had died.Now tens of hundreds of people have been arrested and killed. Although the total number of believers is still large, the most determined people are getting fewer and fewer.If things go on like this, not only will he not be able to continue to expand the reputation of Xuantian Sect, but even the lands he has conquered may be taken away by the enemy!

Shi An couldn't sit still no matter what.

"Jiao Jijiu, General Jiao, you can't sit idly by! Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji have well-trained soldiers under their command. Ordinary believers can't beat them at all. You can only send soldiers to deal with them!" Soldiers against soldiers , This is the hope of regaining the city.

Jiao Bie frowned: "I'll send troops? I heard that there are hundreds of podiums set up by them. How many soldiers do I have to send to destroy so many places? To shut their mouths? Do you know how many soldiers there are in my city?" ?"

Before Shi An could speak, Jiao Bie continued to question: "Xie Wuji has been waiting for an opportunity to recapture Yanzhou. If I send all my soldiers out to kill a few singers, then I will hand over the city to him?!"

These words made Shi An choke and stare.

In the past, when there was no threat from the enemy, the relationship between Jiao Bie and Shi An was still decent. Everyone was a member of the Xuantian Sect, regardless of each other.But when the enemy comes, the distinction between your people and mine is very clear.Jiao Bie didn't want to send his troops to do such stupid things, and he didn't want to lose his manpower because of it.

Seeing his refusal, Shi An held back his anger and said, "General Jiao, you don't need to destroy them all. You send troops to destroy a few places and kill a few more people, so that they will feel jealous and dare not wantonly gossip. "

Jiao Bie just found it ridiculous, and became more and more impatient: "What's the use of destroying a few places? They clearly want to destroy the Xuantian Sect. Unless they are all killed, do you think they will stop?"

Shi An had already patiently talked to him, but Jiao Bie just kept making excuses and refused to do even this little thing.He couldn't hold back his face, and sneered with his sleeves: "Jiao Jijiu, don't forget, you are now the head of the Xuantian Sect. If Zhang Shijun's prestige is damaged and the number of followers decreases, the offerings you get every year will probably be the same." Less! What's more, if Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao are really allowed to continue to be so arrogant, do you think they will let you go?"

These words touched Jiao Bie's sore spot, he picked up the teacup, and used the posture of drinking tea to cover up his uncontrollable disgust and hatred.

What he hated was not Xie Wuji, nor Zhu Nao, but Shi An and Xuantianjiao.

Back then, the reason why he betrayed Xie Wuji, joined Xuantian Sect, and became the head priest of Lao Shizi Zhitou was entirely because he was coaxed by the cult.

At that time, Yanzhou was surrounded by cults, and there were many believers in the city.The soldiers in Yanzhou had no news, they didn't know that Zhu Nao and Xie Wuji had already achieved great victory in Liangzhou, and they didn't know that Xie Wuji had brought reinforcements northward to help Yanzhou.At that time, people inside and outside Yanzhou were panicked, and many people even believed that Xie Wuji was dead.

Under such circumstances, Jiao Bie really didn't want to take his own life to be buried with Yanzhou City, and people from the cult found him, lured him with huge profits, and gave him a lot of false news.He was coaxed, and in the end he was not able to overcome his desire, so he did such a thing.

And when he learned that Xie Wuji not only did not die, but also came to Fu County with reinforcements, he already started to regret it.As a Yanzhou soldier, his awe of Xie Wuji is hard to erase.But at that time, the cult was gaining momentum, and Xie Wuji seemed to have nothing to do with the cult. Shi An patted his chest and said that he had settled Qingyanghou, and he would definitely win the head of Xie Wuji, so he felt lucky again. I think I made the right choice.

But now, Xie Wuji defeated the cult army and Qingyang army, and even Zhu Nao brought the Shu army here.He didn't know what those people in the cult were thinking, anyway, most of the former Yanzhou Army under him had changed their minds.If this continues, it is not impossible for him to be betrayed by his subordinates, just like how he betrayed Gu Ping and Xie Wuji back then...

He has a thousand regrets, 1 regrets.Blame only these hateful cultists for deceiving him and dragging him down the mire!If time could be turned back, he really wished to cut Shi An into pieces.

But what's the use of regretting now?He has already done such things, and he knows very well in his heart that with Xie Wuji's temper, it is absolutely impossible to let him go.So what Shi An said was right, he and the cult were like grasshoppers on the same rope, and he couldn't escape.

Jiao Bie drank the tea very slowly, and when Shi An couldn't bear it anymore and was about to have a fit, he suddenly put down the teacup.

"Shi Zhangqi, it's not that I don't want to contribute." Jiao Bie said calmly, "I just think that if you ask me to send troops to fight the Shu people, even if I succeed, it will have little effect. Instead of hoping that the Shu people will stop singing, Why don't you just hope that the common people will stop going to the theater."

"What?" Shi An was taken aback.Do you expect the common people to stop going to the theater?How can this be?If there are many soldiers in Shu, wouldn't there be more people?How can he control so many people?

He was about to ask a question, when suddenly he had an idea, and he was enlightened!

yes!He always wanted to stop the Shu army, how could it be so easy?But it would be much easier to start with the common people!When the Shu people sang operas, he didn't have to make trouble, he just sent someone to remember which people had listened to the opera.After the play is over, he will send his disciples to kill those who have heard the play, cut off their heads and hang them on the door, and let people spread the news everywhere, saying that no one who dares to listen to the rebellious play will be seen Tomorrow's sun.

As long as you do this a few times, and everyone in the custody of the folks is in danger, who would dare to listen to the plays of the Shu people again?And without the people who listen to the opera, what's the point of the Shu people's empty opera singing?

After thinking about this point, Shi An's brows were relieved immediately, and his face beamed with a smile.He clapped his palms and praised: "Jiao Jijiu is still smart! It is indeed Jiao Jijiu!"

Jiao Bie forced a smile, only despised Shi An for not being able to understand this point, the cult is really a bunch of useless idiots.

Shi An had already made up his mind, so he stopped talking to Jiao Bie and hurried out to make arrangements.

Jiao Bie looked at his back, and couldn't help frowning frequently.

Fear and anxiety run deep in his bones, and he hasn't had a good night's sleep in days.I only hope that Xie Wuji and Zhu Nao will die sooner, so that he won't be tortured every day...
