"What else? It's not because your Buddhism is too powerful in this area of Jiangnan that the court can't stand it, so it sent Liu Xiang to Jiangnan to specifically suppress your Buddhism, and our Taoists were just implicated. "Dao Yanzi is talking nonsense with his eyes open.

Obviously, at this time, Dao Yanzi still had some schadenfreude in his heart, after all, he still had a sense of excitement in his heart when he saw his old opponent who had been pressing him in Jinling, you must know that the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism in Jiangnan have been competing for the belief of the people over the years, and Buddhism has been losing and retreating, even if Li Yaozu has also made a move on Daomen today, but after all, the loss is not big.

He even had the idea in his heart that it would be good if the court destroyed the Buddha. This is the root of human inferiority, and when you are unlucky, you also hope that your opponent will be unlucky, or even more unlucky than yourself.

As soon as Xuan Ku heard this, he generally understood what Dao Yanzi was thinking, but he just continued to speak: "Amitabha, is it really good for a real person to gloat so much? Looking at today's Jinling incident, it is obviously premeditated, I am afraid that it will affect the entire Jiangnan, the poor monk kindly invited the real person to discuss the countermeasures, but I didn't expect the real person to be so introverted in his heart, although the Buddhism is dirty, but the big stick of the court is beaten down, you and I are uncomfortable, you and I should abandon the previous suspicion at this time, discuss the countermeasures, and tide over the difficulties together. Xuan Ku said calmly.

"Master Xuanku is standing and talking without backache, these years in Jiangnan, Buddhism has accounted for the majority, our Daomen is backlogged to only some soup and water, now the master Mo is not in a dream has not woken up, as for what cooperation, the master should not mention it again, anyway, my Dao Yanzi will not cooperate with you, the master or please be smart." After listening to Xuan Ku's words, Dao Yanzi directly refused.

In fact, he knew in his heart that today's Jinling incident must be a sign that the court saw that the Buddhism in Jiangnan was powerful and intended to attack the Buddhism, and the Daomen was only incidental, after all, the Daomen was in the south of the Yangtze River, and where could he hit it again, as for whether the court would expand to Daqian, it was not something he could manage, and the Daomen had been squeezed by the Buddhism over the years, and he really sulked in his heart.

And looking at the frame of the old bald donkey, Xuanku, what he said was to tide over the difficulties together, but that was just a pretext, in fact, he wanted to drag the Daomen into the water and share the pressure for them, this old bald donkey was vicious, after all, the Jiangnan Buddhism Gate has deep roots, it is not as good as the court, as long as the court has made up its mind and wants to rub each other, it is not to be endured.

Xuan Ku saw that Dao Yanzi didn't go in to the oil and salt, and his heart was helpless, he really wanted to drag the Buddha Gate into the water, so he would meet and negotiate with him, but people were not stupid, it was obvious that he saw through the thoughts in his heart, and refused directly, but he was still a little unwilling.

Then he opened his mouth again and said: "Real person, you can't say that, you know the details of this, and at this time, why bother with these verbal disputes, it is right to seek common ground while reserving differences." What's more, today's Jinling action, you and I have suffered varying degrees of losses, look at this posture There will be a big move next, if you and I can't put down Jiedi and work together, you and I are afraid that the two factions are hanging in Jinling! Xuan Ku said with a wry smile.

But when Dao Yanzi heard this, he sneered in his heart, what he said was better than singing, but he didn't look at how many catties and taels he had, the general trend was like this, and it was futile to struggle, but he still asked: "What is the high opinion of the Xuan Kushi?" The old way is to listen to the ear. ”

Obviously, he didn't think that Xuan Ku could have any high opinions, the general trend was like this, and no matter how much bad water there was in the stomach of this bald donkey, it would be in vain.

Xuan Ku listened to this question, but said unhurriedly: "The real person is overestimating the poor monk, the general trend is like this, there are many mistakes, all the struggles are just in vain, as for what dispelled Liu Xiang's idea of suppressing you and me in his heart, the poor monk is hopeless, and the poor monk hopes that you and I will work together to influence the officials who implement the specific implementation and reduce the losses, how?" ”

As for what launched believers to attack the official office and let the court give up the idea of suppressing Buddhism, he didn't dare to think about it, even if the power of Buddhism in Jiangnan has flourished in recent years, and the control of the center of the great cadres over Jiangnan has become increasingly lax, and even if some ambitious people are even slightly funded, Jiangnan will be full of smoke, but he does not think that there is the slightest possibility of success for the behemoth of Daqian, which has been established for 300 years. It will only attract the cruel revenge of the big cadres.

That's why he is ready to pull up Dao Yanzi, because in the upper echelons of Jiangnan, there are still many Taoist believers. Although it is the general trend for the court to suppress Buddhism, the officials who implement it can still influence, so that the loss of Buddhism can be minimized.

Dao Yanzi listened, and after a little thought, he understood Xuan Ku's thoughts, but he was a little sneering in his heart, but this Xuan Ku was a little taken for granted, didn't he understand the urine sex of this official?

But he was not ready to agree to Xuanku's calculations, because it was not in line with the interests of Taoism, nor was it in line with Taoism's idea of ruling by inaction.

So, he looked at Xuan Ku and said seriously: "Is this what Master Xuan Ku said?" In this case, there is no need to bother to say goodbye. With that, he got up and left.

Xuan Ku saw it, but he was stunned, and sure enough, it still didn't work!

……

And the Jinling camp at this time.

Lin Cang, the envoy of Jiangnan Jiedu, and Li Tong, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, who were dressed in military uniforms, were facing the afterglow of the setting sun, looking at the recruits who had just entered the camp.

He looked at these new pawns who had just put down their hoes and had a wooden and simple face, nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "General Li, how are the new pawns recruited?" ”

When Li Tong heard this, he immediately spoke: "General Lin, as of today, 100,000 recruits have been recruited, most of them are farmers who have just put down their hoes, and there are also some descendants of wealthy families, but more than two-thirds of the recruits do not even have a knife, and according to the situation in Jiangnan, it is impossible to match it in a short time, and the food, drink and Lazar of more than 100,000 people is also a big problem, and the training is even more worrying. ”

Lin Cang listened, nodded his head to show his understanding, and then said: "The general knows, and he can only go first, you also know the situation in the court, and looking at this situation, the military envoy of the Jiangnan Jiedu Envoy doesn't know when he will take office?" Let's share some more, as for the weapons and armor, it will take at least half a year, but fortunately, our Jiangnan Jiedu Embassy is definitely the first to be installed, since the training has some impact, then we will first carry out queue and discipline training, and stay up, half a year will pass, as for recruitment, you must not relax, before Liu Xiang returns to Beijing, we must recruit enough soldiers. ”

"No, the last general understands, but general, who do you think will be the military envoy?" Li Tong looked at Lin Cang with straight eyes and said.

Lin Cang looked up at the last trace of the sunset, and then said, "Who knows? However, the military envoys of the Jiangnan Jiedu Envoy will inevitably come out after a fierce battle in the court, but the general estimates that he must be from an aristocratic family in the north. ”

When Li Tong heard this, his heart tightened, and he just wanted to say something.

Lin Cang said again: "But don't worry too much, even if you and I are not of the same mind, but I will not obstruct you and me, the military envoy who comes, that must be a smart person, otherwise he will die without a place to be buried, and he must be attacked in groups, after all, the general trend is like this, hindering others from being promoted to the rank and knighthood, it is going to die." Lin Cang said leisurely.

"Oh, by the way, that guy Li Yaozu, borrowed 3,000 soldiers today, and swaggered to deter the second gate of Buddhism in Jinling, what's wrong?" Lin Cangzu asked with interest.

"What else? It seems that Lord Liu Xiang is determined to take the Buddhism in the south of the Yangtze River, but the last general is a little worried, such a big move, will it affect our Southern Expedition? Li Tong said with some worry.

"I will see that you are overthinking, since Liu Xiang has made up his mind, what kind of storms can be set off by relying on which cats and dogs in Buddhism?" Lin Cang said indifferently.

Li Tong listened, but still worriedly said: "General, you have been in the north for many years, I am afraid that you don't know how powerful the Buddhism in Jiangnan is, in the past 20 years, temples have been built one after another, and there are as many as 100,000 monks. The more he talked about it, the more worried he became.

"Hahahaha......" Listening to Li Tong's words, Lin Cang laughed.

Then he continued: "You, you really think about it, just because the Buddhism is powerful, they don't dare, the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, if the Buddhist forces in the south of the Yangtze River are barefoot, it is possible to fight with the court this shoe-wearing fight, but on the contrary, it is also shoe-wearing, so it will not be so unwise, otherwise, the destruction of Buddha in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be staged again in Daqian, after all, no matter how high the belief is, it will not be able to do the sword." Lin Cang said heavily.

"Besides, the wealthy families in Jiangnan won't let them get their wish!" Lin Cang said pointedly, at this moment, he seems to be a philosopher who has seen through the world.

Li Tong heard this, but he was silent.

The two of them stood quietly, watching the last rays of the sunset fall, facing the night, each busy with their own things with heavy thoughts.

When the night comes, it doesn't mean that they can rest, and the burden on their shoulders is not light, but it's all worth it!

These are just two different soldiers from each other.
