Chapter 160: The Great War Begins and Gathers

The deal with Shi Zhixuan was reached, and Li Qin immediately transferred back to Luoyang. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he came quietly and left quietly, and did not alarm anyone except Shi Zhixuan.

The people of Chang'an didn't know that Li Qin had come here, found the treasure of Yang Gong, opened it, and obtained the relics of the Evil Emperor, absorbed the evil qi inside, and made himself grow further.

After that, Li Qin's side, Li Tang's side, and Dou Jiande's side all began to prepare intensively. It's the first month of the new year, and there are still more than two months left before the start of spring in March, and everyone feels that they still have time to prepare.

Although there was no publicity on the surface, Li Qin had already learned through the intelligence system that Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin had entered the Central Plains. They did not come directly to Luoyang, but to Chang'an. What they did in Chang'an, who they met, and what they talked about, Li Qin didn't know, but Li Qin knew how much conspiracy they had against themselves.

"For Li Tang and Cihang Jingzhai, no matter how little people's hearts are measured, it doesn't hurt. You know, we are a bigger threat to them than the Turks. They will do whatever it takes to win. Li Qin said to his subordinates. Such a statement was unanimously agreed by everyone.

"In this way, do we want to count Ning Daoqi, Cihang Jingzhai, the Four Great Holy Monks and others in the variables?" Su Dingfang frowned slightly.

"It's not a variable, it's quantitative!" Li Qin said affirmatively: "Moreover, we must count Li Tang's attack into it. “

"What does Your Majesty think?" Song Zhi raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Passively accepting everything is not my personality. Since they are bound to attack us, then we will try to give them a hard blow. Li Qin said fiercely.

"What are you going to do?" Song Zhi asked puzzled.

"All-out war!" Li Qin thought for a moment and said coldly.

"To whom?" Song Que asked again.

"Go to war! To Li Tang! If Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi and others do not appear, it will be ...... If they appear, I will order the Wuguan side not to attack Chang'an from the west, and my side will also mobilize troops and horses to the west to Hongnong. In short, in this regard, I plan to take Chang'an. Outside Chang'an City, there is a secret passage for Yang Gong's treasure, leading to the city...... I think I can rely on it to send elites to give them a combination of inside and outside, and the center will blossom. Li Qin thought for a moment and said what he thought.

"Well, that's a good idea!" Song Que pondered for a moment and nodded in praise.

"But if that's the case, then we've got a lot of things to do right now." He opened his mouth calmly.

"For example?" Li Qin raised his eyebrows.

"Resource constraints on Li Tang and support for Dou Jiande...... It is impossible for us to attack Dou Jiande at the same time as attacking Li Tang. Said the void.

"Hmm!" When Li Qin heard this, he immediately understood the meaning of his words: "This matter will be handed over to you and Shen Luoyan." appropriately reduce the support originally given to Li Tang, give them firearms, but reduce the gunpowder and projectiles rationed to them...... There are guns without bullets, but this firearm is worse than a burning stick.

Other than that...... Increase support for Dou Jiande. Judging from the fact that Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin went to Chang'an, they must have colluded with Li Tang. Li Tang is not sure that he will be a vassal to the Turks.

If this happens, then the next direction of the Turkic attack will inevitably be on Dou Jiande. I must increase my support for Dou Jiande and let him give him the edge that can block the Turks for us. ”

"Hmmm! Makes sense......" Everyone nodded. Wei Zheng, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, made a suggestion to Li Qin: "I think that if we can be sure that Cihang Jingzhai has behaved against us, I think we should take a look at the rumors in this regard, so that they can see Cihang Jingzhai's face clearly and tear the righteous face on their faces." ”

"You're right!" Li Qin stroked his palms and laughed: "Since this is the case, then this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible." ”

"No!" Wei Zheng surrendered his hand to Li Qin to receive his orders.

The people then had some discussion, and the final decision was: "Strengthen the defense of Wuguan and Luoyang, mobilize and replace firearms; a re-evaluation of the materials on the part of Li Tang and Dou Xia; strengthen ideological education in the territory; At the same time, the defense of the coast will be strengthened. ”

Of course, this is all superficial propaganda to the outside world, but in fact, what is contained under these high-sounding claims is the full-scale launch of Li Qinjun's war machine.

As the days passed, the atmosphere in the world became tense day by day.

On the second day of February, Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin jointly announced their intention to go south to the Central Plains to meet the world's heroes. They unanimously made an appointment with Ning Daoqi and Song Que, and the location of the decisive battle was chosen at Tianjin Bridge in Luoyang.

This is sensational news.

And the meaning under this news is indeed that Li Qin is not taken into account. Who doesn't know that Luoyang is Li Qin's territory, and Li Qin is the biggest prince in the world.

As the news broke, some rumors followed. Some people say that it is a rare martial arts flourishing in the world, some people say that this is the hostile behavior of the Turkic and Goryeo, the two great masters outside the territory against Li Qin, and some people say that Li Tang, Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi have colluded with the Turks and Goryeo to prepare to attack Li Qin.

Rumors of good and bad things were spread through countless books, newspapers, and storytellers.

The affairs of Buddhism are generally related to the theory of fragrant beauty, and the appearance of these little yellow texts makes people look at those monks with more different eyes.

The growth of Goryeo denied the justice of the Goryeo people in terms of legal system, and refuted the claim that the Central Plains attacked them as an invasion of them. After some discussion, most of the world understands that Goryeo is compressing the living space of the Han people bit by bit. The territory they occupied had a clear name hundreds of years ago: "The Four Counties of Hanshang".

"The attack on Goryeo is never a great achievement, but a very necessary and righteous act. For the survival of future generations, in order not to shame our ancestors, it is necessary for us to restore the old land of the Han family. ”

Statements like this were widely circulated under Li Qin's rule and even everywhere in the world. Although it did not suddenly circulate their bad impression about the expedition to Goryeo, it also gave people all over the world a further understanding of Goryeo, and many people knew that Goryeo was not so innocent.

With the news on the third day of the third month of March, Li Qin's side immediately responded.

On the fourth day of the first month of March, Li Qin officially responded: "Refuse Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin's martial arts competition at Tianjin Bridge." Luoyang is the capital of the world and the place where the people live, but it is not a place where a few so-called great masters compete in martial arts.

The strength of the great grandmaster is amazing, if they are allowed to rise up and destroy the city and hurt the people, it is not good. If you Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin want to fight, this can be a competition in the Yique generation of Longmen in the south of Luoyang City. The land outside the city is empty, but it will not harm the people. ”

"Don't go to Longmen at Tianjin Bridge? What exactly did Emperor Wu want to do? "Most people in the world are very puzzled by Li Qin's decision.

"Damn Li Qin, it's a treasure that is going to destroy us in Longmen! Amitabha, how could he have such a great hatred for the Buddha? Compared with the ignorance of others, the senior monks of Buddhism understood a lot at once, and they saw through Li Qin's sinister intentions.

What to do?

The people of Buddhism were a little anxious. Although the stone carvings of Longmen were not carved at their own expense, they also spent a lot of time and energy in the end.

Such a beautiful stone carving, if it was destroyed by a few great masters in the fight, the Buddhism really had no place to shout for wrongdoing.

Let's stop it!

Anyway, there has been no reply from the Turkic and Goryeo sides now, so they will stop as soon as possible, and there will be no damage to each other's face.

The monks of Buddhism discussed it for a while, and then made a declaration: "Longmen Mountain is a pure place for my Buddhism, not suitable for martial arts competition, you should find another place!" ”

"A pure place for Buddhism?" The declaration of Buddhism was what Li Qin wanted to see, and he knew that he would not be able to win over Buddhism after all, so he planned to give them a ruthless one.

The declaration to Bi Xuan and Fu Cailin was undoubtedly an introduction for him to target Buddhism, but the declaration of Buddhism sent a good excuse to Li Qin.

"When did Longmen Mountain become the territory of Buddhism? Do they have title deeds? Does this title deed include the size of Longmen Mountain? Li Qin asked puzzled.

This inquiry triggered the seizure of the real estate of the Buddhist temple under Li Qin's rule. This is a big move launched at the same time, Li Qin asked Maozao to be in charge of this matter, and as soon as he made a move, Buddhism suffered a big loss.

A large number of temple properties without land deeds were confiscated, and more shady things hidden in Buddhism were unearthed. Li Qin wrote these things on the newspaper, and everyone in the world heard about it.

Buddhism is not pure, messing with people's blood. The Buddha gate is not clear, and it occupies people's property. Buddhism is not merciful, and it raises thugs.

Rumors about Buddhism - these are rumors in the eyes of the Buddhist monks, and now these rumors have caused a lot of confusion to Buddhism. And this confusion became even more difficult with the decree issued by Li Qin.

In order to deal with the problem of Buddhism and Taoism, Li Qin announced a religious decree. Among them, it is strictly stipulated that:

Only one temple (Taoist temple) is allowed in a county;

The rules that control the distribution of spy degrees are that only those who pass the corresponding religious assessment can obtain spy degrees;

Monks (Taoists) who do not have a spy degree are not allowed to travel the world, are not allowed to place orders, and are not allowed to distribute temple mouths;

All temple properties must be reported in a unified manner, and the size of the temple must be divided and rated:

Small temples can only have no more than 100 acres of land;

Medium-sized temples have no more than 1,000 acres of land;

Large temples shall not have more than 10,000 acres of land.

Moreover, no matter how much of these fields is, they must pay the corresponding field tax.

"How can Emperor Wu be so dead and ask for money? All the gifts were received from the Buddha? As soon as the religious decree came out, the people of Buddhism were in an uproar, and they could never have imagined that Li Qin would use the decree to stipulate everything.

In the past, the emperor destroyed the Buddha, that is, a matter of the emperor's will, although the damage they caused to the Buddha was great, but in the final analysis, it was a matter of pain.

If Buddhism can resist, it will resist, and if it can't resist, it will only take a few years or more to bear it if you can't resist and close your eyes. On the surface, Li Qin's decree did not make a big move, but in fact, it was a bloodletting with a soft knife, which had a huge impact on the expansion of Buddhism.

"It can't go on like this! We must not let Nanwu dominate the world! "Li Qin's decree caused the Buddhist monks to stir up a fire of ignorance, and they made a decision to mobilize more forces to support Li Tang, and tried to riot in the Jiangnan land of Li Qin's headquarters.

However, what they didn't expect was that the land south of the Yangtze River had been established in just a few years under Li Qin's command, and its basic control network had been established.

Those who tried to start a riot showed some traces in their respective places and were discovered by the officials under Li Qin's command. The repression ensued, and these good monks had to give in in to the militia, armed with simple and convenient muskets and crossbows.

A large amount of evidence about the rebellion of Buddhism gathered in Luoyang, and Li Qin published them one by one, once again striking a severe blow to the reputation of Buddhism.

Buddhism was greatly damaged because of this.

After they found that they could not disturb Li Qin's rear, they had to put all their energy on the support of Li Tang and Bi Xuan, Fu Cailin and others. They all expected that these two great master-level masters would sweep away Li Qin and the generals and officials under his command and completely annihilate Li Wu.

"Only the destroyed Nanwu is a good Nanwu!" The people of Buddhism are so blatantly declared. They told their followers: "Li Wu is a country ruled by the Heavenly Demons, and Li Qin is the enemy of Buddhism. ”

To this end, they even openly supported the Turks and Goryeo.

In the Taiji Hall of Chang'an, under the witness of Fan Qinghui and Ning Daoqi, the four holy monks and others, Li Yuan declared himself a vassal to the Turks, allowed the Turkic cavalry to move freely in the Central Plains, and allowed them to attack the city and plunder the people, grain, grass, and money! Of course, this is a very secret agreement.

If they could, Li Tang, Cihang Jingzhai and Ning Daoqi definitely didn't want all this to be known to anyone outside of them.

But I don't want them to sign this agreement on the sixth day of the first month of March, and this agreement was obtained by Li Qin on the eighth day of the first month of March, and then announced to the public -- Li Yuan's agreement was signed in the Taiji Palace, and there were many people from the Demon Gate in the Taiji Palace, including Li Yuan's side, and with the current relationship between Li Qin and the Demon Gate, the people of the Demon Gate naturally supported Li Qin in twelve points, and after they signed the agreement with Li Yuan, they handed over the agreement to Li Qin.

Li Qin announced the agreement to the world without saying a word. As soon as the agreement came out, the world was in an uproar. Li Tang's subordinates, including Li Shimin's subordinates, have experienced unprecedented disorder.

Although Li Tang temporarily suppressed all this with a tough attitude and clever means, people's inner backs have changed.

The five nonsense incidents, especially a hundred and ten years ago, that heavy memory has not been forgotten because of this, on the contrary, how tragic the description of what will be after becoming a slave of the Hu people has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the continuous propaganda of Li Qin's side.

"We must not allow the recurrence of the Wuhu chaos!" Most of the Han people in the world have such thoughts.

For a time, the Han people under Li Qin's command reached an unprecedented height of support.
