Viet Chu, Shengxing Temple.

Shengxing Temple, also known as Anyang Temple Imperial Workshop, is one of the two major imperial mountains in Vietnam.

At the time when Vietnam and Central China had always been at its peak, the place near the Imperial Workshop of Anyang Temple was sent to more than 100,000 stones.

And at present, the trend of the Echichu Sect, because of the relationship between the support of the Kaga Sect and the intentional or unintentional suppression of the Li family, has long since lost its original trend.

Anyangji Temple Gobo is located on the road to Takindo, the main street of the border of Kaga in Vietnam, and is a must-pass place for Echichu to go to Kaga.

Li Xiao led an army of 27,000 and marched day and night along Tianjin Road, and arrived near the Imperial Workshop of Anyang Temple.

Li Xiao rode on top of the black forging, looking at the front door of the Imperial Workshop of Anyang Temple, which had already withered a little, and couldn't help sighing.

Think about that year, how great the momentum of Yuezhong Yixiangzong, in the battle of Zengshan City, Yuezhong Yixiangzong, **Hida, Nengden momentum, **80,000 believers intended to sweep Yuezhong.

The Daimyo of Echichu held the position of the chief of the gods, and Shiina Yasuyin trembled when he saw his momentum, and he could only shrink to defend the city, but he did not dare to resist.

At that time, the Hokuriku Ichijo Sect was in full swing, but now it is......

Li Xiao shook his head, but saw the abbot of Katsukoji Temple from a distance, and now he was already in Echichu, and the Honganji Temple under the guidance of Kaga was leading the monks not far from the temple town, waiting for him.

That's right, in Shichiri Raishu, Shimoma Yorisho, Honganji Renqin and other Kaga, Echichu Ichijo directed by the sect, after dying in a battle with the Shibata army.

Kaga has always been a sect, and it has existed in name only.

Kaga originally threw himself into the wealthy clan, and the people of the country and the village all surrendered to the Li family.

Now, apart from the negligible remnants, Kaga Ichijo can be ignored.

As for the only remaining Echichu Ichijong sect, it is surrounded by the Hida Echichu army, which is equivalent to a country within a country. Sooner or later, there must be only one way to subdue Li Xiao.

Now it is always a sect, a county in Yuezhong. and the land of 350,000 stone in Kaga Province. Now in fact, it is under the control of the Li family.

Li Xiao is now worthy of his name, Yuezhong, and Nengden. The lord of the Three Kingdoms of Kaga.

This step is already equivalent to the move of the Maeda Toshijia and Kaga million stones.

Li Xiao can now also be called Li Xiao Million Stones. If it weren't for the surrender to the Takeda family, it would be in the current Warring States, succeeding Oda. Hojo. After Mori, Uesugi and Takeda, the sixth million-stone daimyō.

In other words, Li Xiao is calculated based on Shi Gao, ranking sixth in the Warring States.

Among the top five daimyos. It can also be divided into two grades, Oda. Hojo, the three Maori families can be described as the first gear, Uesugi and the Takeda family without Li Xiao can be regarded as the second gear.

And the conversion of the above stone high, not counting the strength of Hida, Sado, and Wakasa Bankoku, is on par with the main family Takeda and Uesugi families.

Moreover, Li Xiao is also unparalleled above the military strategy, he has just defeated the Shibata Katsu family, and severely damaged the Hokuriku Army of the Oda family, and now he is riding the momentum of a big victory, and the whole army is coming.

Yuezhong has always been shocked, and Xian Rongyan can not come to the door to greet him in person, and take charge of the horse for Li Xiao.

"My lord, Master Xianrong is waiting outside, do you want to go to meet you?" Shigang Yiyu asked Li Xiao.

Li Xiao thought for a moment, now that the army is on the way, it stands to reason that 100,000 people are in a hurry, but they don't see the glory of Honganji.

However, Li Xiao has always been friendly to the policy of the Yizong sect on the surface, and he is wary on the inside, looking harmless to people and animals, but in fact, he is constantly co-opting his forces.

Moreover, among Li Xiao's retainers, Honda Masanbu and Otani Heima also have a background in the Sect, so they must be friendly to the Sect on the surface.

Moreover, Honganji Xianrong is the only and only remaining dove among the four elders of the Hokuriku Sect, and Li Xiao has always had a good impression of such a good old man.

At that moment, Li Xiao, with Honda Masanobu, Shioka Ichiyu, and Otani Hirama, rode horses to Honganji Temple and dismounted in front of the monks.

As soon as Xianrong saw Li Xiao, he immediately saluted and said: "This time, fortunately, Yagata Gong went out to crusade against Shibata Katsuya, otherwise Kaga Echichu would have already sunk." ”…,

Li Xiao looked at Xianrong, in the past two years, because he was worried about Shibata's attack on Kaga, his appearance had already aged a lot.

At that time, the abbot of Shengxing Temple, Xuanzong of Honganji Temple can be said to be a talent, if he is here, Li Xiao will jump to the point where he is today, and it may take some time later.

It's a pity that he died early in the battle of Zengshan Castle, and the successor Xianrong was a master monk with superb Buddhism, but he was not a qualified leader.

Uesugi Kenshin, Jimbo Changshi, Shiina Yasuin, and Honganji Hideei did not complete the goal of hegemony in Vietnam, but instead in order to defeat Jiangma Huisheng and sister Xiaoji Lianglai, Li Xiao, who stood out from the Hida power, completed the hegemony of Hida and the unification of Etsuchu.

Compared with the position back then, Xianrong regarded Li Xiao as a retainer of the Takeda family, and today Li Xiao has become a great trend.

The manifestation of glory is also replaced by a tone of statements made by the inferior to the superior, which shows that the status gap cannot be erased by practicing the Dharma.

Li Xiao pretended to be sorry and said: "Shibata Shengjia is not worth mentioning, but it's a pity that Lai Zhao, Lai Zhou, and Lianqin are masters." ”

Honganji Xianrong listened to Li Xiao mention them, stood stunned for a while, suddenly sighed, recited a Buddhist verse, and then said: "These three masters can't do what they want, so they are obsessed, and they don't know that everything is impermanent." ”

Hearing himself mention it casually, Honganji Xianrong dropped his bookbag, and Li Xiao couldn't help but secretly grow his head.

At this time, a fang official behind Xianrong suddenly hummed loudly.

Xianrong seemed to get his reminder, and said to Li Xiaoyan: "Yagata Gong broke the Shibata Katsu family and avenged the death of 100,000 Kaga people under his hands, which is really a move to save the common people from fire and water. ”

"The poor monk is ashamed to be the presiding officer, he can't promote the Dharma, he can't eliminate violence and peace, and he can't relieve the people from hanging upside down, so I decided to no longer serve as the abbot, relieve all mundane affairs, and practice facing the wall."

Hearing the news that Xianrong was going to go into the wilderness, Li Xiao couldn't help but be stunned, Xianrong is an honest man, in the past ten years, Yuezhong has hardly added any chaos to the development and growth of the Li family.

Therefore, Li Xiao was absolutely unwilling, and Xianrong gave up the position of abbot.

However, after Fang Xianrong, the official secretly instructed, what does it mean, Li Xiao thought about it, but decided to open his mouth and said: "The master doesn't have to blame himself too much, this is a difficult law, not a human can reverse it, don't take all the responsibility on your body." ”

Honganji Xianei shook his head and said: "The poor monk has made up his mind, and I don't need to mention it again, I have to discuss it with Yagata Gong, I hope it can be considered." ”

"Please speak up."

Xianrong thought about it for a while, and finally made up his mind, and said: "After the poor monk abdicated, I want to ask the second son of Yagata Gong to take over the position of the poor monk and serve as the abbot of Shengxing Temple. ”

Listening to the words of Honganji Xianrong, Li Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh a little.

It turned out that this group of monks had this idea.

It seemed that he felt that what Xianrong said was not clear, and the official of Shengxing Temple, who had reminded Xianrong, stood up and suggested to Li Xiao: "Yagata Gong, if Your Excellency allows His Royal Highness to inherit the abbot of Shengxing Temple, then he will also be attached to the followers of Echichu and Kaga. ”

Li Xiao secretly sneered, if Honganji Xianrong said it clearly, then the opinion of this official would be very clear.

This is a political investment by Yizong to Li Xiao, and they bet all of them on it, the purpose of which is to bet that Li Xiao will win the decisive battle against Uesugi Kenshin this time.

If Li Xiao agrees and wins in the decisive battle, he will naturally take advantage of the situation to dominate the Hokuriku Province, and Yixiangzong can also become the abbot because of Li Yong, and then with the help of the Li family's power, he will come back from the dead and resurrect the ashes.

If he refuses, it is obvious that there is no guarantee that there will be some other accidents in Viet Zhong at the time of the decisive battle. …,

Hearing this, Li Xiao snorted lightly, when Nobunaga was still in power, when the Oda family invaded Kaga, Honganji they proposed to let Li Xiaolai serve as the official of the Obo.

Now that the times have changed, Honganji has once again issued similar conditions to let Li Yong take over, which is undoubtedly already regressing.

Li Xiao turned his eyes and saw that Honganji Xianrong and all the officials were looking at him with hopeful eyes.

In this situation, Li Xiao did not hesitate, there was no doubt at the moment, and immediately responded to Xianrong and them with the attitude of leaving the horse.

Only the stunned Honganji Temple was left behind, and the officials were stunned.

Honda Masanobu quickly caught up with Li Xiao in the back, but he didn't speak.

"Lordship," Ohtani Hirama seemed to be asked by the group of people from Shengxing Temple, rode his horse to catch up, and said behind him, "Lord, why don't you think about it again." ”

Li Xiao listened to the horse's head and said: "Go back and tell them in Shengxing Temple, the time is easy, and things are easy, now is the time for the Pure Land True Sect to look up to the Li family's nose, not the time when they can say a word." If you want to take the opportunity to dedicate yourself, tell them that they can take this opportunity to give up all worldly powers, dissolve the teachings of various places, and live in the temple from now on, and concentrate on practicing Buddhism. ”

"In this way, I can be generous to the Pure Land True Sect in the territory, and give it a status in the other Buddhist Sects, the Southern Barbarian Sect, and the first class, let them consider this."

Time has passed, and if Yizong has the slightest intention now, it will be completely wiped out by Li Xiao in an instant.

And Li Xiao is only worried about losing a little fame.

Li Xiao's current tough attitude is to tell Xianrong that the current time is different from the past, and advise them to recognize the facts as soon as possible, and don't want to take advantage of Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin to fight a decisive battle.

Otani Pingma listened to Li Xiao's attitude, and immediately understood that it was the final decision, so he said resignedly: "Yes, lord." ”

At that moment, he turned the horse's head and went to the first sect.

When the sound of the hooves of the horses of the Otani flat horses was far away.

Li Xiao knew that the era of the Beilu Sect had completely passed, and this general trend had already been cast, but it was just cut off from his mouth just now.

Hokuriku has always been destroyed.

At this moment, Li Xiao's face was calm, but he had no sadness or joy.

At this moment, an envoy in front of Li Xiao hurriedly rushed over and said, "Lord, Songcang City has fallen!" ”
