The evil forces roaming the heavens

Chapter 778 Zhang Cheng: "Buddha? Do you think I believe in it?"

Yecheng, the army entered, flags flying,

Looking at the big banner blowing in the wind, many of the Hu people showed fear in their eyes.

Because he represents the former "lower class" who have stood up again.

Inside the government office, Zhang Cheng was watching the officials beside him sorting out documents.

However, when he was about to count the households in Yecheng, Deng Qiang walked in quickly and said, "General, there is not enough food in the city!"

"Insufficient food?"

Turning his head to look at Deng Qiang beside him, Zhang Cheng was shocked when he heard this.
You know, when Shi Hu was still alive, he drew a large amount of grain from the north to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty, but why was the grain gone?
This is not a few thousand or tens of thousands, but millions of stones!

"General, before you came, the food and grass had already been sold to merchants from the Eastern Jin Dynasty by Shi Zun and others in order to raise money for recruiting soldiers!"

Hearing Zhang Cheng's question, the young man next to him hurriedly explained,
"Is that so?"

After a long silence, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask, "How many days can the army's food and grass last?"

"In less than half a month, can we ask Xiangguo for food?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang quickly asked,
After hearing Deng Qiang's words, Zhang Cheng said seriously, "The general went north to fight against the Xianbei Murong. Do you think he has food and grass to support us?"

"So there is no food? What can we do?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Deng Qiang couldn't help but be shocked.

Because if there was no food, what would happen next? He didn't even dare to imagine it!
After a moment of silence, Zhang Cheng turned around and asked, "Since you knew there was no food, why aren't you panicking?"

"In fact, there is still food in the city, it just depends on whether the general is willing to lend it!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng's gaze, the young clerk began to explain.
"You mean those bald asses?"

Hearing the young clerk's words, Zhang Cheng immediately understood who he was talking about.
After all, although Shi Hu was easy to kill, he was still a born. But who would have known that this born actually believed in Buddhism?

But everyone must not think that the Buddha represented here is a good person!
You know, in the Later Zhao Dynasty, these monks did not engage in production, and even owned a large amount of land and tenants.

Moreover, the monks accompanying Shi Hu even used the excuse that he had nightmares as an excuse, believing that he did not suppress the Han people enough, which led to his nightmares!

So, just tell me, should these bastards die?

"Pass on my military order, Chiliang Army, cut down the mountains and destroy the temples. All monks must be re-registered. If there are any omissions, the entire temple will be exterminated!"

Zhang Cheng gave the order coldly, without any mercy in his eyes.

"General, this is not good for your reputation!"

Deng Qiang looked at Zhang Cheng in shock. He had never expected that his order would be like this.
"Go ahead, Deng Qiang. For the sake of the people, I can handle a little bit of criticism!"

Patting Deng Qiang on the shoulder, Zhang Cheng smiled and said,
When Deng Qiang heard Zhang Cheng say this, he immediately nodded and said, "I understand, General!"

Turning around and leaving, Deng Qiang held the long sword in his hand, his eyes full of cruelty.
But just after Deng Qiang left, Li Nong rushed in and asked, "The army has less than half a month's worth of food and fodder. How can you let Deng Qiang distribute it to the people?"

"Don't worry, there will be food soon!"

Looking at Li Nong calmly, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile, "Where does the food come from? There is no food around Yecheng. Don't you think the people in the Central Plains are suffering?"

Questioning Zhang Cheng, Li Nong showed a look of astonishment on his face.
"The common people are suffering, but those monks are not! So, for the sake of the common people, this general is going to make them suffer now!"

Speaking calmly, Zhang Cheng sat on a chair and took out the battle report from Xiangguo.
When he saw that Ran Min had already fought with the Xianbei Murong, he vaguely sensed something gloomy in his eyes.
Because Ran Min won three battles in a row and made the Xianbei Murong dare not set foot in Jizhou!
"Showing weakness to the enemy? Or is there something else going on?"

Looking at the battle report, Zhang Cheng was not in Jizhou at the moment and had no idea what the battle situation was like, but it was an indisputable fact that Ran Min was good at fighting!
There are hundreds of killers in history, the most famous of them are Xiang Yu, Ran Min, Xia Luqi, and Yang Zaixing!

If you want to say how powerful Ran Min was, please refer to Murong Ke's lineup, with 100,000 cavalry, but they were defeated by Ran Min with his infantry!
Although the name of these infantrymen is the Beggar Army, you cannot deny one thing, that is, when you see Ran Min on the battlefield, it proves that you are about to die!

"You want to attack those monks? Are you crazy? You know, they have been in Yecheng for so long, how could they not have countermeasures!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng, Li Nong could not help but be shocked.

Because Zhang Cheng doesn’t want his reputation anymore?

What can we say about the status of the monk community in troubled times? But it is quite large!
After all, people are looking for spiritual sustenance. Even Shi Hu, who was born in Later Zhao, believed in it. Why don’t you believe it?

"Then let them come. This general is waiting here!"

Shouting angrily, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but look at Li Nong with disdain in his eyes.

He never believed in Buddhism, even in the prosperous times thousands of years later!
Because he knew too well how the so-called peace came about. The martyrs were covered in blood and mud, and what they stepped on were not praises, but the corpses of the enemy.
Peace is originally decided by the general, and the general is not allowed to see peace.
How many of our ancestors never saw hope, and fell before dawn.

They have thought about despair and extinction, but they have never thought about surrendering, so man can conquer nature, and no one can say in front of him that Buddha represents everything!
"Go ahead and stir it up, stir it up, and make Yecheng a mess, and make the people suffer. At worst, I, Li Nong, will risk my life with you!"

Li Nong left angrily, looking at Zhang Cheng, and couldn't help yelling,

Looking at Li Nong's back, the scholar next to him said, "General, don't you need to explain to General Li?"

"I ran away for no reason, who do I need to explain to?"

Standing up, Zhang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Pass the order. Cut down mountains and destroy temples within 500 miles of Yecheng! I want all monks to go back to the fields and farm!"

"Yes, General!"

After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the soldiers behind him immediately turned around and left.

In a temple in Yecheng,

When the people learned that the Chiliang Army had arrived, they were immediately filled with shock.
Because they didn't know why the Chiliang Army came here. Could it be that the heroic general also believed in Buddhism?
But before the people could get curious, the Chiliang Army had already started drawing their swords.
As soon as many women were brought out, the people became excited because among them were their daughters and wives who had been missing for a long time!
"Thief monk, it seems you have done a lot!"

Looking at the monk beside him, Deng Qiang's face was full of ridicule.
Because who would dare to believe that such a thing would happen in the largest temple in Yecheng?
"General, if you do this now, aren't you afraid that you will have trouble reaching the Western Paradise in a hundred years?"

Looking at Deng Qiang angrily, the monk immediately started to curse.

"A hundred years? If I can live to be a hundred, I'd really like to thank you! But after a hundred years, I will follow the general and raise the flag in Yama! I will kill you again!"

Looking at the monk beside him, Deng Qiang had a playful smile on his face, and then he said, "Behead him!"

As they were escorting the monk forward, they heard the messenger speak loudly: "According to the order of the Chiliang Army, the bandit monks have gathered together and are causing chaos in Yecheng. They are to be executed immediately."

"Crash!"

The sword chopped down, and countless heads rolled on the ground.
Seeing this shocking scene, the people were a little confused, but they shouted the next second.
Because if it weren’t for the Chiliang Army, they would have no idea where their wives and daughters had gone!
