"Little prince, this morning Gao Baoning swore north outside Yingzhou City, wanting to crusade against you, now it is only three hundred miles away from the Khitan, I am afraid that it only takes three days to be able to attack the Khitan." In the evening, Zhang Shunzhi appeared in front of Xing in the dust, and said with a solemn face.

"Is it finally here?" There was no surprise on his face, it seemed that he just heard an ordinary news, he muttered for a moment, and said to himself: "Gao Baoning's speed of progress is not fast, isn't it the soldiers of Yandi pouring out?" ”

"Back to the little prince, according to the observation of his subordinates, I am afraid that there are no less than 80,000 people who came with Gao Baoning this time, and 30,000 of them are veterans who have been tempered by war for a long time." After a pause, Zhang Shunzhi said again: "According to the foolish opinion of his subordinates, Gao Bao Ning must be afraid of the unparalleled iron cavalry under the command of the little prince, because he is extremely cautious, the speed is slow along the way, and he is in the camp step by step, if you want to sneak attack, I am afraid that the effect will not be good!" ”

"Well, that makes sense." Happy chin chuckled and said: "Although Gao Baoning has a large number of people, most of his subordinates are newcomers who have not fought in battle, and they are mainly foot soldiers, if he is greedy for merit, wouldn't he kill himself?" The Khitan is not far from Yingzhou, as long as there are elite soldiers to protect each other, and the heavy supplies are not safe, as long as he comes with the general situation, the Khitan may not be able to please him! ”

"This method seems clumsy, but it is the safest way, Gao Bao Ning can guard Yingzhou for many years without losing, his people really have some ability, it's a pity, it's a pity......"

Speaking of which, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh. To be honest, he is quite interested in Gao Baoning, no matter how he behaves on weekdays, but the general who can defend one side and win the trust of the people is always admirable.

Zhang Shunzhi nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "What the little prince said is, but now how should we deal with it?" If it is hard work, with the little prince here, it is not difficult to win, but the loss is probably not small! ”

"That's true, this is the foundation of the Khitan, if Gao Baoning's army presses the border, the Khitan may have to fight, and then the advantage of the cavalry will be weakened, and Gao Baoning is prepared, and it may not be easy to break his position with cavalry." Xing Xing frowned, and said leisurely: "Each of our brothers is very expensive, for the sake of Gao Baoning, let the brothers take their lives, this deal is really not cost-effective!" ”

After a pause, a ball of essence suddenly burst out in his happy eyes, and he sneered: "Gao Baoning has a good plan, and I have my own wall ladder." Now that Yandi is fighting on two fronts, the rear must be empty, and it is a good time for us to exterminate the rebels in one fell swoop. ”

Zhang Shunzhi didn't have much joy on his face when he heard this, but said worriedly: "Little Prince, although there are only 350,000 people in Yandi now, our main force is completely contained by the enemy, how can we withdraw and sneak attack the enemy's rear?" ”

Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Soldier, sophistication!" Fiction is real, reality is virtual! With me here, it is enough to be worth tens of thousands of male troops, who stipulates that we must come forward to attack Gao Baoning? ”

"The little prince means to invite the Khitan to send troops, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this!" Zhang Shunzhi's brows furrowed even tighter, "Although the people of Great Qi are not as hostile to the Khitan as the Turks, they also have no good feelings, and I am afraid that this move of the little prince will damage his prestige and be self-defeating!" ”

"Huh!" Happy chuckled and said, "I have my own plan for this matter, you don't have to worry." Let me ask you, how is the war between Gao Shaoyi and the emperor now, and who did the emperor send to meet the battle? ”

Seeing that he was happy to say this, Zhang Shunzhi didn't ask anymore, and replied respectfully: "Gao Shaoyi's offensive was quite fierce, and he climbed the head of Changshan County several times, but the soldiers and civilians in the city united as one and finally resisted the enemy's attack. Last night, General An Tugen should have led 30,000 reinforcements to Changshan County, presumably the morale of the city must have been greatly boosted, and Gao Shaoyi may be very difficult if he wants to break through the city. ”

"Azugan?" Happy bowed slightly, and couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation in his eyes: "Although General An is not young, he is brave and loyal, and his blood and courage are rare in my Daqi, with him going to defend against the enemy, he can't defeat Gao Shaoyi, and it will not be difficult to stop him for some time, and when I dig out Gao Shaoyi's lair, his proud army of 200,000 will collapse in an instant!" ”

Although there are many generals in Qi who have this or that problem, such as Wang Lin, Dugu Yongye and the like, there are very few, but such as An Tugen, Gao Baoning and others are also particularly desirable, especially the veteran An Tugen, if he didn't fight desperately, I'm afraid Gao Yanzong wouldn't last much time, Yuwen Yong has also invaded Jinyang City, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to turn the tide with only five thousand happy iron horses.

After a pause, he said happily: "By the way, what are the recent movements of the Turks and the Zhou State?" In his opinion, the Turks and Zhou were always the strongest enemies, and if they could not be repulsed, the Northern Qi would never get a chance to develop.

"Little prince, according to the report of the spies, Zhou Lord Yu Wenyun has ordered Zhao Wang Yu Wenyun to serve as an envoy to Yongfeng Town to negotiate with his bowl khan, although his subordinates do not know, but the union of the two families may have become a foregone conclusion. At the same time, Yuwen Yun appointed Yuwen Xiaobo as the marshal of the Qi Dynasty, and Yongfeng Guard General Yang Su as the deputy marshal to reorganize the armament, and I am afraid that the troops will be on the border of Daqi in less than a month. ”

"Yuwen Zhao is also here? What a hassle! Xing Xing frowned, and whispered to himself: "I've met Shi Wansui, Gao Ying, He Ruobi, it's good to meet Yang Su!" In Zhang Shunzhi's puzzled eyes, he smiled happily and chuckled: "What about Yang Jian?" What's the news lately? ”

"Yang Jian is now in Yongfeng Town, and it is said that he and Yang Su are brothers and sisters, and their relationship is extremely close." Speaking of this, Zhang Shunzhi couldn't help but say in surprise: "It's strange to say, Yang Jian escorted the princess unfavorably, and Lord Zhou didn't investigate his responsibility. Although he is a general of the Zhu State and the Duke of Sui, he has not made many military exploits, and his prestige in the army is not very high, but there are many people who defend him in the court of the Zhou State, which is really amazing. ”

"It's not surprising!" Happily shook his head, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Yuwen Yong ordered the ban on religion, although he recovered a large amount of fertile land, reduced the burden of the country, and was quite beneficial to the development of the country, but his actions cut off the luck of the Yuwen clan!" ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but get up, came to the tent door with his hands in his hands, looked at the empty night sky along the open curtain, and continued for a long time: "The reason why the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism can be passed down to this day and have millions of believers shows their uniqueness. Yu Wenyong saw the threat of the sect to the country, and cut it off with the power of thunder, but he didn't know that this was also a curse for himself! ”

"Novices can return to the world, but no one can fully control people's hearts. Although it is difficult to see a monk in the Zhou Kingdom, secretly I don't know how many people believe in this way. ”

"The people are ignorant and forced by life, and they will inevitably feel tired and resentful, but the ideas of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism are their spiritual sustenance, and the next life and death are also their hope to abide by ethics and morality and live a life.

"The hearts of the people are turned back, and then someone is in the way of it, and they deliberately guide it, Yu Wenyun is stupid and incompetent, how can Zhou Guo be victorious and undefeated? If it weren't for the unstable situation and the many concerns, how could I have allowed Buddhism to be so far? ”

Zhang Shunzhi suddenly realized, no wonder he was happy to try to rectify Buddhism several times, but it was all to no avail, it was really for the sake of the overall situation.

Don't underestimate religions, they can play a much bigger role than you can imagine under certain conditions. Otherwise, with his style of acting happily, how could he tolerate the occupation of so much fertile land by Buddhism under his rule, and get it for nothing?

It's just that the Northern Qi is now in turmoil, and if you do it rashly, I'm afraid it will backfire. What's more, in his happy heart, he can't talk about how much awe and belief in Buddhism and Taoism, but he is not as disgusted as Yu Wenyong, and he wants to get rid of it quickly. After all, no matter which Confucianism it is, the basic idea is to teach people to be good, and the original intention is good, but the lack of correct guidance and strong supervision has caused them to become a major poison in society.

"What does the little prince mean is that the reason why Yang Jian can meet the source left and right is because of the help of Buddhism?"

"Although I don't know the origin, Yang Jian definitely believes in Buddhism, and I always feel that he has a secret that no one knows." He sighed happily and said, "No matter what the facts are, we must pay close attention to his movements. ”

"My subordinates understand!"

Xing Xing hummed softly, and asked again, "How is Chen Guo's situation recently?" What progress has Wu Mingche made in quelling the rebellion? ”

"My subordinate is about to report this!" Zhang Shunzhi said solemnly: "Little prince, that Chen general Wu Mingche is really good, half a month ago he attacked the city at night, and he actually took Guizhou from Sima Fu overnight, and then regained two county towns with a big victory, and now Chen Guo can be said to have a great morale!" ”

"Oh? Is it a good thing that Sima Fu and Wu Mingche finally broke the deadlock, at least Chen Ji can't spare time to deal with us, and General Wang Lin can have less pressure. Otherwise, the three parties will join forces, and the enemy will be attacked on their backs, with the current national strength of Qi State, even if they win, it will be a tragic victory, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape defeat if the time drags on for a long time! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Xing suddenly frowned again, and said puzzledly: "Guizhou has not been attacked so many times, how could it be lost overnight?" Even if the Holy Fire Sect's so-called four Great War Gods died at my hands, their strength should not have much loss, could there be something in it? ”

According to his understanding of the five factions of good and evil, even if their strength is not enough to completely subvert a country, they can definitely inflict immeasurable damage on a country.

Sima Fu has the help of the Holy Fire Sect, coupled with the accumulation of the Sima family for tens or hundreds of years, he will never be willing to live in a corner, in the eyes of Xing, the reason why he is like this is that firstly, it is to have a solid foundation, and secondly, to wait for the right time. After all, Chen Ji is still in the prime of life, and he governs the country well, even if Sima Fu can break through the city, it will not be easy to win the hearts of the people.
