Chapter 27 - 3

"The Hassan Sect is sinister and vicious in instigation of ignorant young people to die," Zhao Xingde sighed inwardly, and then suspiciously, "This trick has been spread, why can you still cheat?"

"The princes and princes of the Dashi Turks are killing the people of the Hassan Sect," Sima Junfang said in a deep voice. "It's a pity that more than 20 years ago, the Eastern Expedition Army of the Western barbarians burned, killed and looted everywhere. The Dashi and the Turkic princes were caught off guard and suffered great losses. The situation was chaotic. The Hassan Sect lost its constraints and became more and more noisy. Recently, it actually built the Vulture Nest to our court. It specialized in assassinating the elders of the Inquisition."

Jin Changtai said suspiciously: "Why is this?" He was like a fish in the ticket market, but he knew very little about the secrets of these sect conflicts.

Sima Junfang, however, put a lot of effort into this and whispered: "Some elders of the Inquisition have come from the same source as the Hassan Sect for more than a hundred years ago, but they parted ways a hundred years ago. The elders who preached in our dynasty were willing to accept the control of the Inquisition and believed that "knowing the truth is the path to heaven." Elders in the religion often studied pharmacological properties to explore the way of heaven. However, the Hassan Sect took assassination as a matter of time, and even established a country in the country and assassinated the emperor of the Dashi many times. Before the Western barbarians marched eastward, the Hassan Sect could be called a thorn on the backs of the Dashi princes."

Wang Tongdeng sneered and said, "If the Hassan Sect's forces want to infiltrate our dynasty, the elder of the Inquisition, who is the most traitor, becomes a blocking stone. It's a pity that he was still a brother a hundred years ago, but he was a killer, but he was even more vicious than the enemy." After the lurking assassin killed two Inquisition, the Emperor of Xia State was furious, and the Military Intelligence Department immediately listed the Hassan Sect as the target of elimination.

This sect often robs the business travelers. Once the vulture nest is discovered, the Chengying Army, which is responsible for protecting the business path, will be willing to do so.

"More than a month ago, this group of people robbed our caravan and killed all the porters. On the third day, they found that the body was almost eaten by wild beasts. The military intelligence department's detailed investigation and secret investigation were conducted for a long time, and finally discovered the vulture nest." Duan Huaixian pointed to the map, a mountain in the middle of the desert, about a hundred miles away from the southbound trade road, and said in a deep voice, "It's still the same route."

"The Eagle Nest has always been built on a mountain, easy to defend but difficult to attack. What strategy do you have to defeat the enemy?"

Zhao Xingde lowered his head and pondered. After the generals had a moment of thinking, Wang Tongdeng offered advice: "As far as the general saw, there must be few exits whenever it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you select elite troops to block them, then move all the residents of adulterers nearby. Those who pretend to be magic will inevitably be panic. At that time, we will send envoys to surrender them, and after they go down the mountain, they will be captured in one fell swoop, and then hand them over to the Military Information Department for detailed investigation to eliminate the roots."

This strategy is safe, Duan Huaixian nodded in praise and said in a deep voice: "Follow this strategy and go on a war tomorrow."

The marching Sima stayed to help Duan Huaixian improve the plan to encircle and suppress the vulture nest. It was planned to send more than ten teams of troops to find all the passages down the mountain, and then divide the troops to guard them with bows and crossbows. Although this assassin faction was elusive, he was greeted with a dignified formation of heaven and earth, which made him unable to escape. Then he mobilized nearby prefectures and county regiments and county corps to assist the Military Information Department to identify nearby residents one by one. Anyone who commits adultery in this dynasty will either behead him on the spot according to the "law of accusing traitors and gangs" or be sent to Xiaohai as a military officer of the cavalry.

Because Zhao Xingde was proficient in the art of observing the sky, he was also placed in a team that explored the road in advance. The soldiers had strong martial arts skills and had horses. There were more than ten teams, so there was no problem in protecting themselves. Zhao Xingde had experienced several bloody battles in Hejian, and was not as serious as some soldiers. The Hassan faction was a strange story on the way westward. He recorded this incident that night at the post station, and after the eagle nest was eradicated, he sent it to Li Ruoxue, Dunhuang to relieve his idle worries. The post office in Xia State was well developed, and the footsteps of the post horse were faster than those of the march. If the time was right, the soldiers could even receive letters from home in the post station. Zhao Xingde had received Li Ruoxue's letters in Gaochang and Shule, "Lonely and deep boudoir, a thousand worries in the heart of a soft heart" and the faint fragrance made him toss and turn.

Chen Kang also promised him that he would inquire about the news about Chao and Li families in Guandong, as well as Chen Dong, Deng Su and others, and could even help him pass letters to relatives and friends of Song State.

At the end of the notes, Zhao Xingde wrote: "A man's wisdom is limited, so how can he speak nonsense? Judging from this bizarre and distant state, he knows that what the saint said, "respecting ghosts and gods and staying away from them" is the right way to cultivate oneself."

The night in Kangju has just arrived. It was already the moon in Quanzhou on Fujian Road. Under the west window of the study of the prefect, the candlelight is far away. The prefect Wang Houju looked at a copybook on Huale Shuzhuo with a pale face, and wrote, "I am sending you to serve the power and evil spirits on behalf of Tianmu, and you are rude to serve the power and evil spirits, destroying your character and betrayal, and you are actually indebted to the country's kindness. All the decisive numbers are retribution. One person died, which makes the king's flesh and blood difficult, and some destroy the family will make the king's relatives unable to protect it. Don't blame the unpredictable misfortune and good fortune."

Mrs. Zhu's face was also pale, and she wiped her tears and said, "This group of strong men is too vicious. Master, Qing'er has been seeing you for less than two days." She couldn't help sobbing, "My miserable child."

Although the note was vague, Wang Juhou's heart was like a mirror. He wanted to serve Mr. Cai to trust him and frame several charges, and put several gentry families in Quanzhou to prison. Unexpectedly, he stabbed a hornet's nest. Not only were other gentry performing love every day, but in the afternoon, his only son Wang Qing was actually kidnapped. At dusk, the note appeared quietly on the desk. "These lawless bastards." Wang Juhou stood up and slapped the musk wooden table with a palm, which made his palm ached. "What are you saying to read sages and books all day long, but you are so despicable when you do things!" He almost couldn't breathe and coughed violently.

Zhu looked at him in fear and said in a crying voice: "Master, we are the only one in our family. You can't let him be attacked by those strong men."

Wang Houju sat back on the chair in dejectedly, closed his eyes, waved his hand, and signaled that Zhu would not disturb him. Five days later, several gentry jailed by Quanzhou Prefecture were released, and the youngest son of the prefect was sent back to the mansion without knowing it. The child did not distinguish between east, west, south and north, and only said that he was taken to a sea boat for several days. When he mentioned it, his face was excited, and he hated Wang Juhou almost used the family method, but his wife Zhu held Wang Qinglou in her arms, heart-wrenching, and burst into tears.

In the past ten days, Zhao Xingde and other soldiers of Chengying Camp had already investigated the roads near the Assassin's Vulture Nest. This was a towering lonely peak, with three roads to go down the mountain. People from the Assassin Sect gathered in the nest on the mountain and built checkpoints on the dangerous mountain road near the nest. The passage below the mountain was not alerted. The 7th Battalion of Chengying easily blocked the road. Then he notified the county government's constables and the regiment training army to identify the local residents. He also identified dozens of families who had converted to the Assassin Sect and questioned that five people participated in the atrocities of ambushing and attacking the passing caravans. He was immediately executed after the public trial. His family knew that the matter did not report and issued a dismissal to Xiaohai as a military service according to the law of prosecuting the traitor and placing them as a cavalry.
