Chapter 912: Master Xuanzang
The Tianzhu Kingdom was at its most powerful during this period, and the entire Indian peninsula was divided between two empires.
In the north is the famous Ring Sun Dynasty established by Shi Luo Yiduo, the famous King of the Ring of the Sun in the history of Tianzhu, and now the King of the Ring of the Sun has just been unified for a few years, and it is the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period.
On the Deccan Plateau in the south is the Shalouqi Dynasty, which can compete with the Jieri Dynasty.
As for which side of the enemy did Hou Junji's navy encounter? It is the navy under the Jieri Dynasty of the King of the Ringing Sun, although the Ring Sun Empire did not unify the Indian Peninsula, but the north is also near the sea, and the navy is also very strong, often along the Funan coastline all the way to the south to patrol and hunt, occupy the sea resources.
The naval officers of the Jieri Empire, who were released back by Hou Junji, quickly reported the news to the country, and the courtiers of the Jieri King were shocked, Datang? Which Datang? How did they come here?
King Jieri pondered at the court meeting, and said: "Master Xuanzang, from what he said, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty is a virtuous and incomparably capable holy lord, and the widow still thinks that one day he can send an envoy to worship this Eastern Heavenly Dynasty, how can this matter be counted today?" The army of the Tang Dynasty is coming? ”
When Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty went west to learn scriptures, after hardships and finally came to Tianzhu in the Western Regions, and in the country of Tianzhu to learn scriptures and practice Buddhism has a high achievement, after the establishment of the Ring of the Sun Empire, the King of the Ring of the Sun also held an uncovered conference (no portal view, people of all sects can participate in the assembly) specially invited Master Xuanzang to speak the Dharma.
At that time, the king of the precept of the sun had asked Master Xuanzang about the Eastern Empire, and even the king of the precept knew that the king of Qin of the Tang Dynasty had made a song of the king of Qin's breaking array, which was also because in the past Sui and Wude years, Tianzhu had dealings with the Central Plains.
At that time, Master Xuanzang's answer was to always say that the Tang Emperor was Shengming, and said that the Central Plains was a state of etiquette, and all the surrounding ethnic groups went to congratulate Yunyun every year, so after the king of the ring also felt that the Tang Dynasty was strong, and he was thinking about when to send someone to congratulate him.
"Your Majesty, Master Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty must be a liar, who can kill our soldiers without saying anything, and threaten our empire with words, where is the state of etiquette in the Celestial Empire, this is simply a barbaric beast empire.
The minister proposed to immediately send our strongest navy to meet the battle, one to avenge the sacrifice of our soldiers, and the other to destroy the Tang navy so that they could no longer invade our empire. A general of the Ring Sun Empire stood up and said loudly.
The King of the Ring Sun pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "What the general said is reasonable, but you can't act cautiously, in this way, you first take people to reorganize the army and fight, and you are not allowed to act without an order, and then make a decision after I ask the details of Master Xuanzang, Master Xuanzang is a famous master, and he will definitely not talk nonsense, if those people are pirates pretending to be the Tang Navy, wouldn't it be that we misunderstand the Tang Dynasty in vain, and the two big countries suddenly have a misunderstanding of the war, which is not conducive to diplomatic relations." ”
"This, His Majesty the King is reasonable, and the minister will go to reorganize the army for war."
After a short time, Master Xuanzang was invited to the main hall, and the king of the ring day explained the reason in detail, and Xuanzang asserted that it was absolutely impossible.
"Mage, there is also a letter sent by those pirates who pretended to use the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, the widow can't distinguish the truth from the fake, and ask the mage to help one or two."
The King of the Ring Sun was also deceived by Xuanzang's words, and he almost believed that it was not the Tang army on the sea, but pirates.
Xuanzang took the letter and looked at it, and immediately exclaimed: "This, how is it possible?" General Hou Junji? ”
Hou Junji's reputation can be said to be well-known in the Tang Dynasty, and Xuanzang naturally knew that he was practicing Buddhism in Chang'an, but Hou Junji personally led the team to attack Tianzhu? If the Tang Dynasty is not peaceful all around, can it cross the sea to start a war against Tianzhu? Xuanzang didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but believe it, because at the end there was a letter from Hou Junji's admiral.
"What? Could it be that the mage knows this general with the letter? Are they really the generals of the Tang Dynasty? The King of the Ring Sun asked.
After carefully reading the letter three times, Xuanzang said: "Monks don't speak, this is indeed the handwritten letter of the Tang Dynasty General Hou Junji, and there is also a seal letter from General Hou Junji as evidence. ”
"You, didn't you say that Datang is a state of etiquette, and it has always liked peace and not foreign wars?" A minister pointed at Xuanzang and exclaimed.
Another person snorted coldly: "What kind of ceremonial state, a few years ago, I heard that the Tubo Kingdom that had just established diplomatic relations with us had been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and our business of planting forget-worry flowers was lost, this Master Xuanzang must be a liar." ”
For a while, Xuanzang almost became the target of everyone, also because what he said was not accurate, and also because at this time, the Ring Sun Empire was attacked by the Tang Dynasty and caused the ministers to panic, after all, from the understanding of these years, the Tianzhu Kingdom has an understanding of the situation in the east, and there is a powerful empire in the east.
"Your Majesty, the poor monk has been out of the Central Plains all the way west to Tianzhu for more than ten years, and I really don't know anything about the domestic news, why the Tang Dynasty will attack Tianzhu for no reason, and the poor monk also wants to know, is there any misunderstanding, please send someone to send the poor monk over, meet this Hou Junji general, if it is really a misunderstanding, it is good to avoid the military disaster." Xuanzang said sincerely.
The King of the Ring Sun pondered for a moment, and then nodded and said: "The mage has always been respected in our country, and the widow also admires the mage very much, since this is the case, the widow will send someone to send the mage on the ship, and ask the mage to explain the cause and effect, my Ring Sun Dynasty does not border the Tang Dynasty, and I don't want to start a war with the Tang Empire. ”
Tianzhu, whether it is in the south or in the north, is a religious country, and the class concept is very heavy, Xuanzang is famous in the country, so the king of the sun is very important, and it can be seen that he himself has a big enemy in the south, and he doesn't want to provoke distant enemies.
A few days later, a fleet came to the vicinity of Hou Junji's fleet, the two sides could not understand the flags, Hou Junji did not recognize these, his battle book had been issued, and the person who came must be Tianzhu's navy.
"How are there only a few broken boats? Is this Tianzhu looking down on me Hou Junji? My war book is a covenant of life and death, is it contempt for them to send such a small number of men? Or is it that King Yue and the Marquis of Lantian are exaggerating, this Tianzhu country is weak and does not have a strong navy? Hou Junji said disdainfully, his eyes were full of contempt, and his tone was full of dissatisfaction.
"Pass the order, the main ship is the leader, there is no need to waste the thunder, the sea edge and arrow array will crush me, let them see the invincible warships of my Tang Navy, and crush them!"
Well, I can't help but say, Hou Junji once again ordered to take action against the fleet of Tianzhu Kingdom.
