It's just that these hosts didn't dare to look at Liu Zhuwen and Miao Cheng angrily.

This may be because the state of mind has reached a certain state. At the same time, probably because the sound of the cannon just now was still echoing in their ears.

The fact that the Song army has never poisoned the people does not mean that they dare not poison the people.

If you really want to get into trouble, it will only be the people of Dali who will suffer in the end.

The hosts apparently did not have such courage.

If the people of Dali are displaced because of their willfulness, then they will become sinners in Dali through the ages. This is contrary to the teachings of Buddhism.

The host was silent for a long time.

Liu Zhuwen and Miao Cheng also stopped talking, but always maintained an indifferent smile on their faces.

In fact, from the time they led the forbidden army to drive straight into the imperial city of Dali, they were already invincible in the territory of Dali.

Dali is not guarded by a large army, even if the rebel army rises up, it is almost impossible to drive them out of Dali.

After all, there are so many people left in Dali, and the hearts of the people are disheartened.

Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty will continue to have troops entering this Dali realm.

I think that at the beginning, the rebel armies in the Great Song Dynasty emerged one after another, but in the end, they were not broken by the Yuan army one by one, the destruction of the extinction, and the surrender of surrender.

For Liu Zhuwen and others, the choice of Chongsheng Temple can only affect how much effort it takes to subdue the entire Dali in the future of the Great Song Dynasty.

If all the Buddhists bowed to the Great Song Dynasty, it would be much easier for the Great Song Dynasty to let the people of Dali accept the governance of the Great Song Dynasty.

And if they keep the Great Song Dynasty out, then the officials who are sent to Dali will need to make some effort.

That's it.

In short, it is impossible for the great ideal to remain self-governing. Duan Qilin left Dali, and now Dali can't find a new emperor.

After a long time, the big host suddenly spoke up and asked Liu Zhuwen: "Dare to ask the army commander whether there is a real shortage of food or a fake shortage of food in the army?" ”

Liu Zhuwen replied affirmatively: "There is really a shortage of food. ”

The chief host asked again: "Then what are you going to do with your army after we send food to the Chongsheng Temple?" Do you continue to invade the rest of Dali's cities? ”

Liu Zhuwen chuckled, "Master thinks there is still a need for this?" According to Liu Zhuwen, as long as the master gives us food, there will inevitably be many leaders and officials from all over Dali who will take the initiative to rush to the imperial city to see me. Liu Zhuwen never thought of continuing to fight with the soldiers and civilians of Dali, Buddhism talks about purifying all sentient beings, in fact, our Emperor Majesty of the Great Song Dynasty is the same. It's just that what he wants is a little different, he just wants all the people in the world to live a good life. ”

The chief host looked at Liu Zhuwen deeply, "What does the commander mean, the emperor of your dynasty will also treat the people of Dali as his own people?" ”

As the leader of Dali Buddhism, his vision of things is different from ordinary people.

He knew that it was impossible for the Great Ideal to stop the Song Army, and what he was most worried about was that the people of Dali would become slaves of the Great Song Dynasty.

No Dali person would want Dali to become a "farm", kept in captivity, and can only be slaughtered.

Rather than this, it is better to fight to the death of a fish, although it may not be effective, but it is finally worthy of your own heart.

Liu Zhuwen only replied: "If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have always protected the people of Dali when we were attacking." ”

All the monks were slightly stunned.

When the Zhennan Military Region attacked the Song Dynasty, the actions of the Great Song Forbidden Army were indeed admirable.

However, they are Dali's own officials and generals, and many of them take the people of Dali as hostages, laughing and generous, chilling people's hearts.

After another half of the hour, the chief host said: "Could it be that since that time, the emperor of your dynasty has been confident that he can capture Dali?" ”

Liu Zhuwen said: "As long as the people's livelihood is rich, all the people want." Such a court can remain undefeated, so why is it difficult for our emperor to attack? ”

The chief presided over and said, "How does the general plan to make the old man believe your words?" ”

When Liu Zhuwen heard this, he naturally knew it in his heart.

If the host can ask such a question, it means that his heart has been loosened.

Perhaps in the heart of the big host, as long as the people can live a stable life, this is enough. He couldn't ask for anything else.

This eminent monk is truly worthy of admiration.

Liu Zhuwen arched his hand to the host and said: "Liu Zhuwen can swear and even make a written note, our officials of the Great Song Dynasty govern Dali, than treat the people of Dali as compatriots, and will never cause trouble in the territory they have conquered like the Yuan Dynasty." If the host thinks that my weight is not enough, it is not impossible for Liu Zhuwen to ask the emperor to make an order in person. ”

All the hosts were moved.

Liu Zhuwen's words can be said to be from the bottom of his heart.

This made those among them who were originally hostile to Liu Zhuwen and others quietly dissipate a lot.

It was the Song Dynasty that Dali attacked first.

In fact, the Song State counterattacked Dali and did not pay attention.

And their attitude towards the people of Dali can be said to be to repay grievances with virtue.

After all, if Duan Qilin hadn't obtained the help of the Buddhists and the people in Dali, he would not have been able to attack the Great Song Dynasty in the face of the world's disapproval.

If the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty really wanted to retaliate with a tooth for a tooth, he would kill the entire Dali to the point of blood, which was actually unreasonable.

There are some things that don't make sense in the first place.

After a long time, the chief presided over and said, "In this case, the two generals, please go back!" ”

Miao Cheng was slightly stunned, "Master, you ......"

The Grand Presiding Officer has not yet given them an answer.

As soon as he spoke, he was stopped by Liu Zhuwen with a smile.

Liu Zhuwen stood up and arched his hand to the host, and then walked out with Miao Cheng.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the two of them went down the mountain directly with the worshippers and guards and walked outside the Chongsheng Temple.

On the way, Miao Cheng couldn't help but ask Liu Zhuwen: "Commander Liu, they haven't answered whether we will send us food yet." ”

"Yes."

Liu Zhuwen said quite firmly: "I have already stated this way, as a host, I must have made a decision in my heart." ”

He smiled lightly, "The reason why he didn't give us an answer is that the Grand Presiding Officer still needs time to persuade the monks in the temple who are very hostile to us. Although he is the chief host, he can't ignore the attitudes and thoughts of the monks in the temple. ”

Miao Cheng said again: "Then what if the big host can't convince those monks?" ”

"Impossible."

Liu Zhuwen said: "Just now, all the hosts are in the reception room, do you feel that the rest of the hosts except for the big host are too hostile to the two of us?" ”

"Nope."

Miao Cheng shook his head, and then reacted.

These presiding officers are able to decide anything in the Holy Temple. And since they are not too hostile, it will not be difficult for the big host to reach a consensus in the temple.

Thinking of this, his expression became relaxed, and he arched his hand at Liu Zhuwen and said, "Commander Liu is strategizing, and Miao admires it." ”

This is really a compliment from the bottom of my heart.

There is a real shortage of food in the army.

Originally, Miao Cheng was actually as worried about food as Zhang Hongwei, but now, Liu Zhuwen easily solved this matter.

Not only that, but he also made the Dechongsheng Temple have to take a stand.

No matter how you say this, it will also make many people in Dali less wary of the Great Song Dynasty.

Especially the pilgrims and devotees of the Chongsheng Temple.

When they saw that the Chongsheng Temple was close to the Great Song Forbidden Army, they would definitely no longer be hostile to the Great Song Forbidden Army.

Later, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty rushed to Dali, and it would be much easier to assimilate these Dali people.

Liu Zhuwen arched his hand at Miao Cheng, "Commander Miao praised it." I'm just thinking a little bit more. ”

Not long after they returned to the Imperial City of Dali, Zhang Hongwei also led the Tianji Army back to the city.

Hearing what happened in the Chongsheng Temple from Miao Cheng's mouth, he also admired Liu Zhuwen. only said again and again that he was a rough man.

Compared with Liu Zhuwen's method, he said that he would lead the army to other cities to grab grain, which was really a strategy that could not be put on the table.

Following.

Kuizhou Road leads to Sichuan City.

After three days of preparation, the two armies of Tianxiong and Tianmeng drew their camps at dawn and marched westward.

Tongchuan City is parallel to Lizhou East Road and Tongchuanfu Road in Dali. They will go straight west, and they will be able to join the army of Helian City and Qu Rujian.

Of course, Du Hu and Zheng Yihang have no such plans.

All they have to do is suppress Pang Hongguang's defenders on the Lizhou East Road.

Until then, it was impossible for them to directly reveal such intentions. When it comes to the frontier, it will definitely make the appearance of attacking the New Song Dynasty, not targeting the Western Xia.
