Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn the boat.

Both Yuan Shang and Zhong Yao understood this truth very well, but in terms of how to reasonably treat believers with faith, Yuan Shang was a little better than Zhong Yao because he knew better what could make the so-called believers rational and what could make them frantically fight for it.

After all, it is inseparable from the word "faith" and will never be separated from the sect. As long as this is used well, Yuan Shang can not only conquer them for his own use, but also make them hate their enemies.

It was under such circumstances that Yuan Shang decided to let the "Yan Xing fight against the Five Dogs of Rice Sect" to inspire the hatred of the ghost soldiers in Hanzhong towards Yan Xing, guide their strongest war and anger, and then lead this angry army to guard the faith as the pioneering army, send troops to Chang'an to defeat Yan Xing.

After listening to Yuan Shang's opinion, Zhong Yao thought about it carefully and felt that his design was very interesting and reasonable, so he couldn't help but feel deeply about it.

However, in Zhong Yao's mind, if he wants to do this, there seems to be a very serious problem.

"I said..." Zhong Yao expressed his question to Yuan Shang and said, "I said you want Yan Xing to fight against the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, so that the Hanzhong ghost soldiers are more cruel than him... This idea is very good, but I have a question... Why should Yan Xing listen to you? If you ask him to fight against the Five Dogs of Rice Sect, then go against him? What are the benefits of doing this?"

Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this, blinked, and looked at Zhong Yao in confusion, as if he was looking at a...pig.

"Of course Yan Xing won't go to the Five Dogs of Rice Sect. Do you think he is a fool? At such a critical moment, is Yan Xing afraid that the Taoist ancestor will kill him with the Bagua furnace?"

Zhong Yao was even more puzzled when he heard this: "Since that's the case, why do you still have so confidence?"

Yuan Shang looked Zhong Yao up and down a few times, and his eyes were even more distorted, as if he was a brainless monster.

"Mr. Zhong, you have given birth to a child in Hebei in the past few years not only because of kidney deficiency, but also brain deficiency? Who said that Yan Xing had to do this by himself? He didn't do it. Wouldn't Yuan go to help him do it? Besides, I have the time to trap such a big circle to lure Yan Xing into the trap? Time is precious, and I am very busy."

When Zhong Yao heard this, his face suddenly changed... he became a little dark.

"What do you mean...is to discredit him?"

Yuan Shang rolled his eyes.

"How fresh, don't smear him, do I have to promote his kindness and heroic deeds?"

Zhong Yao couldn't help but thrust his face. He was sometimes helpless about Yuan Shang's behavior and actions. As a leader who respects Confucianism, Zhong Yao really couldn't stand some of the actions of Yuan Shang, an important minister of the court, and felt deeply saddened in his heart.

Zhong Yao sighed and looked at Yuan Shang with a serious face, and taught him with great care.

"Although you are always cheating, your approach is really a loss of power."

Yuan Shang shrugged indifferently and smiled: "Maybe, you and me have different understandings of the kingly way."

Zhong Yao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Since you said that, then I asked you, what is the kingly way in your heart?"

Yuan Shang lit his chin and thought for a while.

"If your opponent is not good, he will run over him."

Zhong Yao frowned: "What is domineering?"

Yuan Shang smiled: "Be good, run over."

Zhong Yao's beard was shaking.

"Then I ask you, what is the way of Confucius and Mencius?"

Yuan Shang's smile seemed deeper.

"Tell him before crushing."

Zhong Yao: “…………”

******************************

The next morning, someone spread the word in Yuan’s camp, but a rumor began to spread in the army.

After Yan Xing of Guanzhong seized half of Liangzhou and Yongzhou, he issued a government order that in the prefectures and counties under his command, all the people under his jurisdiction, whether officials, people, soldiers, soldiers, farmers, industry and commerce, are not allowed to believe in religion. All sects, regardless of size, will be evil in the Taiping religion. Anyone who believes in religion is punished for treason.

Once this rumor was spread, it caused a stir in the Yuan army's camp. Especially among the Five Dogs of Rice Sect ghost strokes who surrendered in Hanzhong, it caused widespread discussion and indignation. For a time, rumors were everywhere in the military camp, and in addition, there seemed to be someone to secretly add fuel to the fire, the indignation of the ghost strokes in Hanzhong was unknowingly led to Yan Xing.

Yan Xing was shot again without knowing it.

Two days later, a scout who sent Liangzhou to investigate and returned to Yuanying, not only did he bring back the accuracy of this message with certainty, but he even got the "Abandoned Education List" posted by Yan Xing in various prefectures and counties in Liangzhou!

The content of the list is based on the name of "abuse evil and attract righteousness", and it is said that religious believers are covered with large amounts, do not work in farming, do not work in weaving mulberry trees, delay production, and sometimes gather people to rebel. This is because they do not abide by the people's moral integrity, and they should be abolished! There is also Yan Xing's Liangzhou seal on the list, which claims that the clear text is indeed issued by Jincheng.

What's more serious is that the spy who returned from Xizhou brought back a heartbreaking news:

After Yan Xing issued this government order, he ordered all the prefectures and counties under his jurisdiction to destroy all the temples and burn them regardless of their branches, and no one left behind... Even some statues of the Taoist ancestor gods in Taoist schools were smashed without any tolerance, and none of them survived.

Now, the ghost soldiers and horses in Hanzhong who surrendered to the Yuan army camp began to be completely furious!

Everything else is easy to say. It is impossible to tolerate the statue of the Taoist Ancestor God!

What is Yan Xing? He is just a barbarian from Jincheng, Liangzhou, northwest. He is afraid that he can't recognize the words in the "Tao Te Ching" and dare to smash the statue of the Taoist ancestor?

Who do he think he is? The Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Earth!

So, in Yuan’s military camp, a strange scene began.

The Guanzhong Army, who was in charge of the task of destroying Yan Xing, had not yet requested the battle. The ghost soldiers of the Hanzhong Army who had just surrendered began to come forward by representative ordinary soldiers with higher military positions. They jointly submitted a letter to Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu and other commanders, strongly demanded that General Sima send troops to Chang'an, kill the Yan thieves, and set things right, and eliminate this monster for the world, the people and countless creatures... They vowed to avenge the statue of Taoist ancestor.

After receiving these submitted requests, Yuan Shang ignored it at first and just smiled. It was not until the Hanzhong Army began to pour in his commanding tent like snowflakes that Yuan Shang felt that the time was almost done.

What we need to do next is to hold a unique oath-taking meeting in the schoolyard in the camp, so as to increase the morale of these Hanzhong troops to the highest level and fan the rage to the greatest extent!

In the schoolyard in the military camp, Yuan Shang summoned civil and military generals, first let someone read Yan Xing's "Abandoned Church Bill" in public, and then asked the spies to state all the actions that Yan Xing did after issuing the Chamber of the Disclaimer, which aroused the Hanzhong army's anger towards Yan Xing, and then spoke in person.

But when Yuan Shang walked to the front of the station, he looked at the large number of soldiers underneath, took a deep breath and shouted loudly.

"Soldiers! What day is today?"

There was silence below and no one answered.

Yuan Shang suddenly pulled out his sword around his waist and roared loudly: "Tell you that today is a shameful day, a hatred day is an unforgivable day!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang took a deep breath and his voice increased three times: "Because, the guy Yan Xing in Guanzhong issued a false order to abolish the religions, persecuted the believers of the world, tear our faith apart, and trampled on our dignity! Destroying my faith is tantamount to destroying my family business... Yan Xing dog thief, his crime should be punished!"

"Should be punished!"

"Should be punished!"

"Should be punished!"

As soon as Yuan Shang finished speaking, he heard the soldiers below responding loudly, especially the ghost soldiers of the Five Dogs of Rice Sect who believed in Hanzhong. They all roared loudly with red faces and thick necks, wishing they could immediately kill to Guanzhong with weapons in their hands, castrate Yan Xing, skin, and smash bones to avenge him.

After everyone's bang came down, Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows and said another fanning ignition.

"It's okay to abolish the sects. He also ordered all temples and temples to be demolished, halls and foundations of various sects... It's okay to demolish them. He didn't even let go of the statue of the Taoist ancestor... It was smashed, and there was no one left behind!... I heard that in Liangzhou, there is no way to spell out a complete picture of the Taoist ancestor... The behavior of beasts is outrageous!"

"Beast~!"

"Beast~!"

"Kill the beast~!"

"Avenge your ancestors!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

“…………”

Yuan Shang raised his hand and comforted the indignant soldiers. Then he waved his hands behind him, but saw several soldiers walking to the front of the general holding a mud statue of the general.

Yuan Shang took a deep breath, then pointed to the clay statue and said loudly: "The clay figure is still three-part. Yan Xing is a good guy who is easy to bully and is also a good master of Taoism. We must not let him look down on him... However, before rushing to Guanzhong to kill the Yan thief, we must first exhale a bird's breath for the Taoism ancestor... This is the clay figure that I ordered people to carve according to Yan Xing's appearance. If Yan thief dares to destroy the god statue of Taoism ancestor, we have to smash his little clay figure. The soldiers, send a few representatives to come up and kill Yan Xing, the dog thief in front of the soldiers of the three armies!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw several high-level generals of the Hanzhong Army, who had a blushing face and thick neck, ran to the front of the platform. He pushed hard and pushed Yan Xing's mud statue to the ground. Then he kicked and smashed Yan Xing's mud statue to pieces. The more he stepped on it, the harder he tried, the more he was getting more and more satisfied. He only trampled the mud statue into pieces, almost like powder before he stopped.

There was even a ghost general who was not satisfied and took off his pants in public and peed on the powder in the mud before returning to the formation.

This move not only failed to be criticized by everyone, but also received loud cheers from the Hanzhong army, like a hero, lifting his pants while waving his hand to greet everyone's praise.

Seeing that the Hanzhong army was in a strong sense of fighting and hatred for Yan Xing soared into the sky, Yuan Shang thought that the time was almost the same, and then inserted the sword in his hand on the general's platform and spoke loudly.

"Soldiers! I have decided to make food tomorrow, and advance troops at the Mao hour, and send troops to Chang'an! Take the head of the thief Yan... Let's chop him into pieces and throw him into the Eight Tribulation furnace of the Daozu! Practice the plaster to avenge Daozu!"

"Kill Yan Xing!"

"Kill Yan Xing!"

"Kill Yan Xing!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

"revenge!"

"Kill~~~!"
