The eight generals in the tent arrived, including the leader Sun Bodhisattva and general Sun Jun, and six elders of the Maitreya Sect on both sides.

Everyone looked grim, and Sun Bodhisattva said slowly: "I just got the news that Wang Dongdu was publicly executed in Yangzhou, and all his sons were also killed."

Everyone looked at each other and a general asked, "Does the Yuan governor not care?"

"Yuan Zhen has fled back to the capital. He can't take care of himself. No one can help us now!"

There was an uproar in the tent, and several governors said anxiously: "Master, what should we do?"

"Now Yangzhou is the world of Li Xiu, the 38th son of the emperor. This man is cruel and ruthless and destroyed the salt owl. The next step must be to target us. We must be prepared. This is also the reason why I have concentrated all the strong men in Qingtian."

Zhang Ping gently touched Zhao Hu, and both of them understood that they were about to prepare for a war.

Bodhisattva Sun said coldly: "I have said everything I should say. From the fifth update tomorrow, all the strong men will get up to train and raise them for so long. It's time for them to work hard!"

The generals got up and left.

Only the upper leader of the Maitreya Sect was left in the big tent. An elder asked: "Master, how many troops will there be to attack us?"

Bodhisattva Sun shook his head, "I don't know either. There are about a few thousand people, and they will arrive soon!"

Another elder said, "Since the officers and soldiers are coming, is it inappropriate for us to gather the believers here?"

Bodhisattva Sun sneered, "Cultists are our precious wealth. Of course, the most precious wealth should be kept by our side. If even we do not exist, what is the meaning of these believers living? If we live, then the believers will definitely live too."

Sun Jun added: "The leader means that only by mingling with thousands of believers can all elders have a chance to escape."

Everyone suddenly realized that the leader was still very clever!

Bodhisattva Sun glanced at his brother and asked, "How loyal is the eight generals?"

Sun Jun quickly bowed and said, "Report to the leader, the eight governors are all very loyal, especially the four governors in the new army are all greedy for money and lust, and easy to control."

Bodhisattva Sun sneered, "Is that so? You have never looked at people very accurately."

"There is definitely no problem this time. I am willing to guarantee it with a head!"

"I just asked, it's too late to change players now, so don't talk about the matter easily in the future."

"I understand!"

"Okay! Let's just come here, let the believers pray all night at night and rest after dawn."

.........

The next afternoon, Li Xiu received Zhang Ping's home letter from Gaosheng Inn.

He could see at a glance that he had enough copper coins, which meant that the army was gathered together, and there was gold and silver, which meant that the Maitreya religious believers and senior officials, and there was a gem, which naturally refers to the Master Sun Bodhisattva.

The address was not specified separately, which means they were still in Qingtian Salt Field.

Li Xiu made a quick decision and led 5,000 soldiers to head towards Qingtian Salt Field a hundred miles away overnight.

............

At noon the next day, five thousand troops arrived about thirty miles west of Qingtian Salt Field. The army sat down and rested on the spot. General Cao Jun sent a scout to investigate.

This time, Li Xun led nearly 100 salt and iron supervisors, who were responsible for recovering thirteen salt fields of the Maitreya Cult. Of course, the salt workers would not disband, but just turned to serve the salt and iron supervisors.

Li asked, "Thirty-Balang, do you think the Maitreya Cult will make a comeback after it is destroyed this time?"

Li Xiu smiled and said, "We interrogated Sun Li and learned that the reason why Maitreya Cult can gain a foothold in the Jianghuai River is that on the one hand, there are many important figures. Three uncles and nephews of the Sun family, six elders and thirty-three backbones, and more than one hundred thousand stagnants of money. With so many important upper-class figures, coupled with Yuan Zhen's indulgence and sufficient financial resources, Maitreya textbooks will develop greatly in the Jianghuai River.

They will not have this opportunity in the future. Even if Sun Bodhisattva escapes this time, she will be alone. I am very confident that in this battle, the Maitreya Sect will be completely destroyed!”

Cao Jun asked with a smile: "Will you catch prisoners of war this time?"

Li Xiu said lightly: "The strong men can accept surrender, and the believers will be killed regardless of gender!"

.........

An hour later, the scout came back to report: "Report to the general, report to Your Highness, there are about 8,000 Maitreya Cult army, and there are thousands of religious followers. The golden flag that the other party has set up, and the leader of Maitreya Cult should be there too!"

“What equipment?”

"All of the leather armor, spears and swords, just like us."

Li Xiu immediately said to Cao Jun: "Split the troops in two groups, one by one, three thousand people fought against the enemy, the other two thousand people walked around and killed all their believers."

Cao Jun was a little worried, "I'm afraid there is no sure victory for three thousand people to fight against eight thousand people!"

"Don't worry! If the other party has my people, they will definitely create opportunities."

Cao Jun made up his mind, "Okay, follow your highness's arrangement!"

.........

‘Woo--’

A rapid trumpet sound was blown outside the camp, which was an alarm to discover the enemy situation.

‘Dang!Dang!Dang!’ The alarm bell rang.

Eight thousand Maitreya soldiers came from all directions to assemble.

Bodhisattva Sun also ran out of the big tent and asked, "What's going on?"

"Report to the leader, the spies outside discovered a group of officers and soldiers coming to the camp."

"How far is there, how many troops are there?"

"There are ten miles left, about three thousand people."

I heard that the other party had only three thousand people, but Bodhisattva Sun had a heart to let go. His army was nearly three times that of the other party. He fought one of them, and his equipment was similar, so he should be able to defeat the other party.

Eight teams gathered quickly,

The Maitreya Sects Army was operated in battalions and had eight military flags, namely "Flying Dragon, Flying Tiger, Flying Lion, Flying Leopard, Flying Bear, Flying Elephant, Flying Eagle, Flying Fox".

All soldiers must follow their military flags. When the military flags advance, the military flags retreat, and the generals shall obey the general's command and act with the military flag.

In this way, the advance and retreat will be orderly, and there will be no chaotic situation where soldiers cannot find generals or soldiers.

The Liss Army has been lined up, and General Sun Jun is at the front of the team with a spear in his hand.

Behind the military formation is the human power platform of the leader Sun Bodhisattva. She sat high on the golden ivory lotus platform, looking at the officers and soldiers in the distance, and there were flag bearers and drummers standing on the platform.

In other words, the command of this battle was stolen by Bodhisattva Sun, and she gave orders to the flag bearer and drummer, who then directed the battles of the battalions.

Three thousand officers and soldiers appeared, and they were lined up in a row and walked step by step, with a neat team and a murderous intent.

Bodhisattva Sun suddenly realized that his team was a little less than the officers and soldiers. Yes, he was murderous.

Her army had no murderous aura, just like a painting spread on the ground, as calm as water, calm and calm.

Only then did she realize that she might have thought too simply

But at this time she was already in a difficult situation, so she had to bite the bullet and prepare for this battle.

Three thousand officers and soldiers stopped halfway inside and confronted the Maitreya army.

Cao Jun was still waiting, and suddenly there was chaos in Maitreya camp. An army of two thousand people came from the south. The believers who were praying in the camp were caught off guard and were stabbed by spears and chopped down by swords.

Cao Jun could see clearly from a distance, and he shouted, "Attack!"

The three thousand officials shouted and rushed to the Maitreya clan soldiers and left.

Bodhisattva Sun was in a mess. She didn't expect another army to break into the church group. They were bare-handed and could not resist. Isn't this going to kill them all?

Bodhisattva Sun had divided the gods and forgot to order the crossbow army to prepare.

Sun Jun couldn't wait for the leader's order, and he shouted: "Bound Bowman is ready!"

At this moment, something abnormal happened in his team, and the flying elephant and flying eagle flag turned around and ran away.

Zhang Ping and Zhao Hu shouted: "Brothers, save their strength and retreat with me!"

Their two thousand men had trained for less than a month and were already scared. The instigation of the commander and the retreat of the flag, they turned around and fled.

The escape of two thousand troops led the other two new troops to follow the escape. Four thousand soldiers were defeated before the battle, and the entire soldiers of the Lishi Army collapsed.

The soldiers threw away their armor, threw away their weapons, and fled for the death.

At this time, the three thousand officials came to his sight, and the shadow of the crossbowman disappeared. Seeing that the situation was not good, Sun Jun turned around and wanted to escape, and a burst of arrows shot in.

Sun Jun was hit by more than a dozen arrows in a row, screamed and fell to death.

Cao Jun waved his sword and shouted: "Catch the leader of Maitreya and give him a thousand guan!"

Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and thousands of soldiers will kill towards the platform of Bodhisattva Sun.

The hundred strong men were no longer loyal, and threw them down on the wooden platform and fled in panic. The tall Baolian seat tilted over and pressed Sun Bodhisattva down. One of her legs was broken by the heavy throne, and she lay on the wooden platform and cried.

She tried to swallow the poison several times and committed suicide, but in the end she had no courage and was dragged out from under the throne by the officers and soldiers and tied up.

Her ending is still death, the difference is just to commit suicide by taking poison or to be taken to Chang'an for interrogation and chopped off her head.

............

The Maitreya Sect completely disappeared, and some evils were still alive, such as a group of ghost mothers and daughters in the Huaihe River, also went their separate ways.

A few years later, hundreds of thousands of believers of the Maitreya religion were gradually brainwashed by another rising cult, and a new fanaticism began, and history continued.

A thousand soldiers from the Yangzhou Military Palace escorted the officials of the Salt and Iron Supervision began to go north to receive the salt field.

Yangzhou and Chuzhou also began a stormy liquidation.

Yanzhou Sima Liu Zhan was suspended for suspected hiding private salt, Jiang Hua, Jiang County Magistrate of Jiangdu County, Wu Wenyi, county magistrate Wu, and Chuzhou Governor Yu You were transferred to Liuzhou, etc.
