Start with Yan Liang, the Sims of Yuan Shao's youngest son

Chapter 118 Please enter the urn
In the next four years, Yuan Ke kept a low profile as if there was no one like him in this world.To everyone's surprise, he also started to build Buddhist temples in Shouyang City, and personally selected common people and allowed them to join the temple.All of a sudden, cigarettes were lingering in Shouyang City, and the sound of evening drums and morning bells continued.

Xiao Yan was very happy with what the grandson of the emperor had done, and gave him hundreds of millions of money to rest and renovate the Buddhist temple. Yuan Ke accepted it without hesitation, and often expressed his gratitude.

After a long time, the dignitaries in the imperial court also let go of their guard against him, thinking that he was just "too young, so he may not be good when he is old", and eventually he became the kind of person he hated.

It can be said that if Yuan Ke's acting skills are kept today, he must be a well-deserved national first-class actor.He successfully deceived everyone in the world, except for Wang Lin, He Chen and a few people whom he cited as his confidantes, only his father Xiao Yi understood his thoughts.

"Ke'er, if he doesn't sing well, he will be astonishing!" Xiao Yi once proudly said to Xu Zhaopei.

To say that in the past few years, the only thing he has done that is confusing is to ask Xiao Yan to transfer Gao Yao, the prefect, Chen Baxian, to Nanyu Prefecture to take up the post of Sima in Nanyu Prefecture.

In fact, behind these seemingly reckless behaviors of his, there is a common goal hidden, which is to recruit troops.

But Shouyang, as a big city with 3000 men and horses guarding, due to various factors, he can no longer expand the army in a fair manner.Otherwise, if the censor Yanguan sued him with a single paper, saying that he intended to rebel, he would not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Yuan Ke thought of a compromise method, which was to flatter Buddhism.

He built a large-scale Pingjing Temple in the city, and dug out a large underground palace, and then began to personally recruit monks to form the Yuzhou Sect.

The Yuzhou Sect was a Buddhist group formed by Yuan Ke recruiting young and middle-aged people. In Liang State at that time, there were so many Buddhist organizations with different names, so it was not very eye-catching for him to do so.

If there is any difference between this Yuzhou sect and other organizations, it is that Yuan Ke showed his stubborn and picky side in the selection of disciples.

"Only the powerful and the rich are qualified to believe in Buddhism. This is wrong." Yuan Ke said, "Are the common people not qualified to accept the teachings of the Buddha? This is also inconsistent with the emperor's wish to save all living beings with Buddhism? "

Therefore, every disciple had to undergo his personal interview before joining the sect.Only when Yuan Ke, Wang Lin, and He Chen all nodded, are they eligible to become members of the Yuzhou Sect.

The disciples who joined the Yuzhou Sect were all strong and came from poor backgrounds.According to Yuan Ke, cultivating Buddhism is a hard job, and only children from poor families can bear this crime.

In addition to the usual meditation and chanting, he also ordered Chen Baxian to recruit instructors from the army to demonstrate the movements and steps of the stick method to the monks in the underground palace, no matter the cold or heat, every day.

How do you see it?
Yuan Ke is not eating fast and reciting Buddha, he is clearly cultivating private soldiers who are absolutely loyal to him!
Of course, what Chen Baxian's subordinates taught them was not purely fancy moves, but the actual combat stick method transformed from the marksmanship used to face the enemy.

After more than three years of training, all of these five hundred monks have become masters of stick wielding without showing any signs of mountain or dew!

Regarding the matter of forming monk soldiers, perhaps it is because it sounds so new, even Chen Baxian, who was transferred to Nanyu Prefecture because of his outstanding performance in countering rebellion in Yuan Ke's previous life, was a little guilty in his heart .He once asked Yuan Ke quietly: "Young master, in my opinion, soldiers are soldiers, and civilians are civilians. Let the civilians do what soldiers should do, and I'm afraid it will be nothing!"

But Yuan Ke was very confident in his heart. He said: "There is a truth that is cruel to say, but the reality is like this. Any young and middle-aged ordinary people can be called soldiers as long as they are trained together for two months." gone."

"This statement... is new!" Chen Baxian widened his eyes, "But such soldiers, I'm afraid they won't be able to go into battle!"

"Different soldiers naturally have different uses." Yuan Ke said lightly, "In the battle between Qin and Zhao Changping, the two sides had a total of millions of people. Could it be that these 100 million people are all well-equipped and well-trained? Su soldiers? Not necessarily, such an army cannot even be supported by Liang Guo now, let alone hundreds of years ago? Most of them are ordinary people who just want to make a living. When it's time to fight for your life, they will naturally be useful!"

"My lord, do you want them to be cannon fodder?" Chen Baxian asked, "If that's the case, we can definitely pull up a team of tens of thousands of people, so why recruit only five hundred people?"

"They have been trained by you for nearly four years. Wouldn't it be a pity to be cannon fodder?" Yuan Ke said with a smile, "They are the last elite in my hands!"

Chen Baxian nodded with a vague understanding, and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely train them well for future use."

"Thank you." Yuan Ke patted him on the shoulder, "Go and invite Fa Zhou for me."

Monk Fazhou is the only one among the Yuzhou Zongmen who wears armor. However, this so-called armor is just the simplest short armor. There are some small dark red spots left, thank goodness for protecting the front chest.

Judging from the word "Fa" in the precept name, he is also a younger generation disciple of the Hidden Dragon Temple in Longbian City. Yuan Ke took a fancy to him as a seasoned man, loyal, brave and reliable, so he brought him back from Jiaozhou and brought this The secret forces were entrusted to him.

After a while, a young man with a face so red and purple slowly came to Yuan Ke.On the top of his head he had some fragmented hair that was so short that it couldn't be shorter, and he wore beads around his neck. The red robe on his body had been washed and faded, and the straw sandals on his feet were also torn. His right arm was completely exposed on the ground. Outside, he held an eight-foot-long stick in his hand.

Fazhou put the long stick aside, bowed down respectfully, and asked, "The king summoned me, is it the turn of the Yuzhou sect to contribute?"

"It's not urgent." Yuan Ke pondered for a while, and comforted him, "As the saying goes, you can raise a soldier for a thousand days and use it for a short time. I will save sharp knives like yours for the most useful time."

"Brothers have received all the great kindness from the king, and every day they look forward to sharing his worries." Fa Zhou frowned and said solemnly, "We all look forward to this day coming soon!"

"Okay, okay!" Yuan Ke showed a gratified smile, and pointed to the main hall behind him, "Do you know why I call this temple Pingjing Temple?"
