In the next few days, all the troops from the Qingyan King's Army crossed the river north. First, they gathered more than 30,000 troops with Xingguojin where Chen Mu was located. On the other hand, they continued to reinforce Leling and continued to increase the garrisons in Yanci City.

In Leling County, Liu Gao, the prefect of Leling Kingdom of Jie Kingdom, who did not participate in the battle of cleansing and withdrew his troops early, had more than 20,000 troops, which was the only existing force in the Jie Kingdom in several counties in southern Hebei. After returning to Leling, he also fought several battles with the royal army. Both sides had a test of each other.

After all, the Jie army in southern Hebei has confronted the Qingyan King Division for several years and its combat effectiveness is quite considerable. The reason why they lost a lot in Henan has their own reasons to lose, and they cannot be completely blamed for the disadvantage of combat.

But the situation of the king's army is very different from before. The situation has reversed, and it has changed from a slight disadvantage to a full advantage. Therefore, it is difficult for the Jie to regain Liu Gao back to Yanci City in a short time. Without the stronghold of Yanci City, the vast capital, and being in the flat land of southern Hebei, it is difficult for Liu Gao's troops to maintain it for a long time.

The royal army in Xingguojin did not continue to move north directly and vigorously, but instead took Linqing City, a border area of ​​Qinghebei as the boundary point and began to sweep the counties and counties in southern Hebei even further.

However, the Fenwu Army of Chen Yun's troops did not stop here. They went north in Huanglang. After resting in Linqing for a few days and replenishing supplies, the entire army's light cavalry was dispatched to chase Shi Xuan's escape route.

The reason why we pursued so relentlessly was not that Chen Yun had the obsession that he had to capture Shi Hu's son alive. On the one hand, it was to avoid the defeated army stationed nearby and then counterattacked, and at the same time stirring up the hearts of Jie Kingdom and increase trouble for Shi Hu's army to come south. On the other hand, the Fenwu Army had to pass through the surrounding areas of Xiangguo until it passed through Ye, and finally rested in Fangtou, and at the same time, it received the Fenwu reserve troops who had set out from Luoyang to the north and reorganized them.

Before crossing the river, Chen Mu looked fierce and seemed to wish he could start a comprehensive battle with Shi Hu's army immediately. However, after he actually arrived in Hebei, he became cautious in using troops. Although the army attacked from all directions in southern Hebei, it generally did not cross the Linqing line. It seemed that he had completely left his previous bold words behind, but was fascinated by the pleasure of sweeping the countryside and removing the tyrants and strong people between counties.

Even after Zhang Tan's letter was sent out, the Zhang family in Dongwu City had a letter sent back, saying that as long as the king went up the clear water, his family would take the lead in promoting righteousness, working inside and outside to help the king's army seize Dongwu City, clearing the river and clearing the entire county, Chen Mu was not very interested in this, but just replied that if the Zhang family really had the sincerity to return to the righteousness, there was no need to say that Dongwu City was not Dongwu City, and they could just lead their troops to surrender. The king's army had the strategy of capturing the city and plundering the land, so they could take it themselves, and there was no need to do anything about the righteousness of the country.

After that, there was no news from the East City, which shows that for Zhang, coming to join the south was a more difficult thing to decide than entering the city. Chen Mu did not expect this, so he ignored it. As he said, it would be ridiculous if the king still needed to rely on the cooperation of the local and rural situations until today.

Chen Mu was content with his serene content, but he suffered from the wealthy families in southern Hebei. Previously, the royal army swept the county and county towns mainly aimed at the rule of the Jie Kingdom in southern Hebei. However, after these cities were removed one by one, their eyes naturally fell on the walls of the self-protection of the countryside.

As a result, the rural tyrants could not sit still, and it was obvious that they could not beat them. Not to mention that they had just been recruited by the Jie Kingdom once, many of their families were trapped in the Jin army's prisoner-of-war camp. Even when the country was intact, how could these local tyrants who lived in the countryside be the opponent of the mighty army of the Jin army?

In fact, long before Shen Mu entered the country, when the defeat of the clean cloth came and Shi Xuan fled north in a panic, the local rural gates began to discuss and weigh the attitude of the Jin army to deal with the entry of the Jin army. There were many different opinions, and there was no conclusion yet, but the king's army no longer gave them time. The walls of the dock that were in a fortunate position were knocked open by the army and forced to return to the right.

So soon, the rich people from Qinghe, Pingyuan and other areas finally formed a team represented by the elders in the countryside, and waved flags and drums all the way to Xingguojin.

When these people arrived, Chen Mu happened to be in the camp, but in a Buddhist temple more than ten miles away from the northeast of Xingguokou.

The master of Jie Shihu came to Buddha, and he said that this tree was a family matter of the state religion. Therefore, there have always been many Buddhist temples in Hebei. As for the Xingguo Temple near Xingguojin, it was built with great civil engineering and built with magnificent buildings, with high shelves and flying buildings, and a Buddha statue of more than three meters high, built with iron and gold foil on the center of the Buddhist temple.

Chen Mu was thinking about this matter. When he arrived at the Buddhist temple, the golden body wrapped in the giant Buddha was broken and peeled away by a bandit soldier, revealing the dark iron casting inside, and there was already an arm missing. The Jie Kingdom probably did not have the skill to forge such a large image, because the torso and limbs were all made separately, and then they were watered with iron.

Although the Buddhist teachings of Xingtai are not prosperous, they do not explicitly prohibit the Buddha. It is just that those monks who preach Buddhism are suppressed by the Masters of Heaven and Masters, and are rarely accepted by the people.

There are Buddhist temples and statues in Jiankang City in Jiangdong. Chen Mu occasionally visited them in his early years, but the Buddha statue in front of him was different from what he saw in Jiangdong. His eye sockets were deep, his nose bridge was towering, his forehead was protruding, his jaw was short, and his mouth was protruding. He looked like his face was ferocious, which was obviously made by the characteristics of the five senses of Hu people, especially the Jie Hu.

Seeing this difference, Chen Mu couldn't help but feel happy. He smiled and turned his head to ask the monks of the Buddhist temple who followed behind him: "What is this ugly Buddha's name?"

Those monks, half of Han and Hu, did not dare to hide the question when they heard the general's question, and said tremblingly: "This is the name of this Buddha, Xingguo Anbang Zhenhe, destroy..."

After talking about this, I suddenly realized that the few of them were sweating profusely and were busy closing their mouths.

However, at this moment, soldiers had already picked up the magic banners scattered on the ground and presented them with the name of this Buddha statue. It turned out to be called Xingguo Anbang Zhenhe Destroy Jin Killing and Shen Zhao Chang Buddha.

Even if Chen Mu did not understand Buddhism, he understood that there was no such demon Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures. If the Buddha Master Xifan created the Dharma, he would know that a Shen family would rise to Jiangdong. Maybe Chen Mu really had to be more respectful. It is conceivable that those monks must have the following to choose what they like and skillfully make names.

"This ugly Buddha is not good at appearance, but has many responsibilities. Shi Jilong is really not a good polite master. Even if the Buddha's power is powerful, he should not be poor. No wonder he will lose a lot and cannot be protected."

Chen Mu threw the banner away, and then ordered the soldiers to say, "Disassemble."

Not to mention that the soldiers demolished the Buddha statues, Chen Mu turned his head and looked at the monks. He glanced at the monks with strong looks without mentioning them. He pointed at the monks who looked like Jin people and said with a smile: "You two should be my monks, so why do you say this?"

The two men's faces were pale at this moment, sweat from their foreheads oozing into their eyes, and they had to blink frequently as if they were crying. Seeing Chen Mu looking at them, they hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Buddhism, Buddhism makes people feel at ease..."

When Chen Mu heard this, he seemed to hear some ridiculous remarks. He laughed twice before saying: "I have the people of the summer and have their own wise men and philosophers. The ancestors need to worship carefully, teach people ethics, and educate ethics. Such many wise voices, and the great wisdom can't be immersed in their entire lives. You abandon your ancestors, destroy ethics, and have no regard for the principles and regulations, and say that they are just to gain peace of mind. How can you feel at peace? What a strange evil seed, dare to keep such a touch?"

The two of them just kept kowtowing to beg for mercy, and they didn't care about anything Chen Mu said, so Chen Mu couldn't help but feel bored. He had no prejudice against Buddhism, and after seeing that several masters of Tianshidao were all incorporated by Xingtai, he also felt that these doctrines and Dharmas were completely mysterious. If they really had the ability to educate, it would be possible to use them both.

But it is obvious that the so-called Buddhism promoted by Shi Hu in Hebei is definitely not a saying of goodness. It is nothing more than trying to destroy the many concepts of human ethics established by the predecessors and sages of the sutras and sages of the predecessors.

Another monk said that suffering in this life can undoubtedly bring favor to Shihu, a tyrannical lord who is willing to destroy people to death. In the next life, there will be reincarnation in the six realms, so you will be a cow and horse for me in this life, and you will work hard and complain. This is the blessing of cultivation, not exploitation and harm.

Chen Mu's understanding of this may not be as profound as that of the general, but he lacks a lot of favor for the foolish people who are addicted to it. Especially these monks in front of him are all full of mind. Although the Buddhist teachings in this world are incomplete and have few precepts, it can be seen from this that these people are by no means a person with noble virtues and profound principles of law. Therefore, he devoted himself to the monks to use this as a means of others.

Chen Mu did not wrongly accuse these people. After searching for Buddhist temples, he not only found a lot of gold, copper, wine, meat and food, but also hundreds of women who looked like female monks.

After interrogation, we found out that the Jie army was stationed here before, and these monks were also brave. They did their business in the military camp, not only selling all kinds of magical objects that could avoid good fortune and avoid bad luck, but also driving the women collected from all over the world to donate their bodies.

Chen Mu had a lot of experience in the corruption of the Jie army's military discipline. However, this Buddhist temple was not far from the military camp, and it was still safe to be kept for the King of Master to come and investigate. It can be seen that Shi Hu spared no effort to promote Buddha over the years and was effective, and even the fierce soldiers in the army dared not to abdicate the gods and Buddhas.

However, these monks who worshipped Buddha were very brave. There was a large amount of gold foil in the goods they copied. It turned out that they were the servants of the Buddha who stole it and stripped the Buddha's golden body.

Chen Mu naturally would not show mercy in such evil people who were dismantled by gods and ghosts. He directly betrayed the Buddha statue that was being dismantled, and was punished with heavy severity and cut it into pieces!
