"The Tang Dynasty is a prosperous country of Buddhism, at the beginning, Kuma went to the Great Ci'en Temple to debate the scriptures, and lost to Master Xuyuan, and Kuma was convinced!" Kuma said lightly: "The Tang Dynasty enshrines the Buddha's true body relics, which is also expected. It's just that now An Lushan has rebelled, the Tang Emperor has fled, the country is in turmoil, and the Buddha's true body relics are left in the Tang Dynasty, and I am afraid that I will lose something. I, Tibet, have always believed in Buddhism and respected Buddha bones, and now, it is also a country and a peaceful country. Therefore, Kuma is willing to take care of the Buddha bones for the Tang Dynasty, and temporarily welcome the Buddha bones to Tibet. When the Tang Dynasty exterminated the traitors and the world was peaceful, Tubo sent the Buddha bones back to the Tang Dynasty, which was a two-way plan, and the Prime Minister must not shirk it. ”

Yang Guozhong broke out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Tubo "kept the Buddha's bones on his behalf", which was actually taking advantage of the fire to rob! It's just that Kuma said that this was a righteous act!

The Buddha's bone is not only the treasure of the world, but also a weapon for commanding the Western Regions!

Tubo's appetite is too great, one Nanzhao country is not enough, what they want is the entire Western Regions!

Tubo has always coveted the relics of the Buddha's true body, and now that the opportunity has come, he will never stop!

"Master Kuma is willing to take care of the Buddha's bones, he is really thoughtful!" Yang Guozhong knew that the dove was ingenious, but he didn't dare to say it: "It's just that the Buddha's bones are now in the Great Ci'en Temple, and Chang'an City has been captured by the rebels, and Yang is helpless." ”

Gu Mo said lightly: "The Prime Minister should understand that this time the Tubo Kingdom raised volunteers and helped the Tang Dynasty out of respect for Buddhism, so as to prevent the Buddha's bones from falling into the hands of traitors. Now that the Buddha bones have fallen into the hands of the Yan army, the Tubo army only has 3,000 men and horses, and it cannot compete with the rebels, so it has to return to the army to return to Zampu. ”

Yang Guozhong hurriedly said: "If the national teacher returns to the army, where will Yang be placed!" ”

Ma Weipo is already in danger, almost all of the six Praetorian Guards are Chang'an, they are unwilling to go to Sichuan, from Chang'an to Jincheng, there are constantly soldiers fleeing, and the rest are also full of complaints. There are already people secretly instigating the soldiers to mutiny, and the reason why Yang Guozhong does not dare to kill Chen Xuanli is to rely on Chen Xuanli to suppress these soldiers who are becoming more and more restless. And now, Chen Xuanli seems to have sensed the difference between the Chinese army. If the Tubo people leave it alone, Yang Guozhong is afraid that he will not survive tomorrow.

Yang Guozhong was almost pleading.

"The situation of the Prime Minister, the poor monk also feels the same way!" Gu Mo smiled: "However, the Prime Minister can completely transfer the Jiannan Army to come to help, the poor monk thinks that the Jiannan Army is brave and good at fighting, and will be able to keep the Prime Minister safe and sound!" ”

Yang Guozhong secretly scolded Gu Mo for being cunning in his heart.

If the Jiannan Army can be used, where can Yang Guozhong still need to find the Tubo people!

In the ninth year of Tianbao, Yang Guozhong instigated Xian Yuzhongtong, the deputy envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, to crusade against Nanzhao, but he did not expect that in the battle of Xi'er River, 60,000 Tang troops were annihilated. Yang Guozhong knew that he was responsible for the crime, and did everything possible to cover up the truth, and bluntly said that this defeat was a big victory. The emperor listened to him, but the Jiannan army was already seriously injured. The Jiannan Army, which originally had more than 10,000 people, had less than 2,000 people left. In the next few years, Xian Yu Zhongtong scraped together and finally gathered enough 10,000 people, but the combat effectiveness was not as good as before.

Yang Guozhong was worried that for a long time, the truth of the battle of the Xi'er River reached the ears of the emperor, and in the twelfth year of Tianbao, Yu Zhongtong sent troops to Nanzhao again, trying to defeat Nanzhao in one fell swoop and kill the king of Nanzhao, Ge Luofeng, in order to prevent future troubles. This time, the soldiers and horses of Hexi, Longyou and other towns knew that Yang Guozhong was avenging his personal revenge, and deliberately delayed his advance.

After the Battle of the Xi'er River, the combat strength of the Jiannan Army was not as good as before, and it was a lone army, but as a result, it was in the Xi'er River again, and it was attacked by Ge Luofeng from all sides, and it was defeated again. This time, although the whole army was not annihilated, it was the whole army that was scattered. Those soldiers are all Sichuan children, the last battle of the Xi'er River, Sichuan children suffered heavy casualties, Sichuan people originally had grievances, this time, the collapsed Jiannan army quickly submerged into the people, and finally returned to Chengdu, but only hundreds of remnants.

This time the defeat was defeated, Yang Guozhong still suppressed it and did not report it, no one knew that the Jiannan Army was actually in name only.

A year has passed, and Xian Yu Zhongtong finally gathered one or two thousand people, however, Yang Guozhong took the risk to kidnap the emperor this time, and he never dared to use the Jiannan Army, which had become a remnant. These remnants of the army, with poor combat effectiveness, have to guard the nest for him, if something goes wrong in Chengdu, then Yang Guozhong will be homeless!

Helpless, Yang Guozhong had to turn to Tubo for help.

And the Tibetan people actually set their sights on the Buddha's true body relics!

Kuma: This is fearless! Because, the Tang Dynasty court did not know the situation of the Jiannan Army, but the Tubo people who were adjacent to Sichuan and Nanzhao knew it clearly.

If the Jiannan Army remained intact, Gu Mo would not dare to lead a lone army into the Tang Dynasty at all, nor would he dare to ask Yang Guozhong for the Buddha's true body relics, he knew very well that Yang Guozhong had always liked to cross and tear down bridges.

Yang Guozhong knew that Gu Mo was unreliable because of the Jiannan Army, but he was helpless, so he had to say: "Tubo Zampu has already received the silk and gold leaf of Sichuan, and promised to help Yang with a certain arm, how can Zampu take it back?" If the national teacher returns to the army, he will trap Zampu in injustice. ”

"I Tubo Zanpu ordered the poor monk to protect the Buddha's bones, if the poor monk returned empty-handed, it was the life of Weikang Zanpu!"

"The Buddha's bones are indeed in the Great Ci'en Temple, and after the matter is completed, Gu Mo can lead the Tubo army to Chang'an to take it for himself."

Gu Mo sank his face: "I, the Tibetan soldiers and horses, are called by the Prime Minister, do not avoid danger, come from thousands of miles, everyone should treat each other sincerely, but the Prime Minister is prevaricating!" Prime Minister, you may wish to explain that the Prime Minister coerced the Tang Emperor to go to Sichuan, the purpose is to be in a corner of peace, the Buddha's true body relics have the appeal of commanding the world, the Jiannan Army has existed in name only, if the Prime Minister wants to gain a foothold in Sichuan, it is not enough to have a light pole emperor, but also to have Buddha bones! This point, even a dull person like Kuma, thought of it, the prime minister has always been smart, how could he not have imagined! The Buddha's true body relics are in your Chinese army, and the prime minister can get them with a gesture! If the prime minister is willing to hand over the Buddha's bones to the dove, three thousand Tibetan warriors, the prime minister can dispatch as much as possible, otherwise, the dove can only lead the army back and return to Zampu! When the dove speaks, he has always been straightforward, and the prime minister is not to blame! ”

Yang Guozhong was speechless.

Na Gu Mo is very intelligent, and he has already seen Yang Guozhong's mind clearly.

Yang Guozhong wanted to set up another imperial court in Sichuan, in addition to holding the emperor hostage as an official symbol of the legitimacy of the imperial court, but also to use folk beliefs to win people's hearts. Therefore, before he left Chang'an, he did not forget the Buddha's true body relics in the Great Mercy and Grace Temple.

The Buddha's true body relics can not easily leave the temple. Even if the emperor wanted to invite the Buddha bones to the Daming Palace, the Great Ci'en Temple would flatly refuse. However, this time the situation is different, the Yan army captured Tongguan, and it will soon enter Chang'an, and if the Buddha's true body relics are not moved, they will fall into the hands of the rebels. Therefore, when Yang Guozhong ordered the Great Mercy and Grace Temple to invite the Buddha's bones out of the temple in the name of protecting the Buddha's true body relics, the Great Mercy and Grace Temple did not know the truth and immediately agreed. The abbot Kongming because he wanted to sit in the Great Ci'en Temple and could not travel far, so he handed over the Buddha's true body relics to Xuyuan, and at the same time, let the law enforcement monk empty repentance rate 20 warrior monks to support, and then the emperor drove away from Beijing.

The monks of Void Distance and Empty Repentance, guarding the Buddha's true body relics, are in the middle of the Chinese army, not far from Yang Guozhong's big tent.

The Buddha's true body relics are the most precious treasures in the Buddha, and now they have to be moved, which is a top secret and unknown to outsiders. But he couldn't hide it from Kuma.

Yang Guozhong was stunned for a long time, knowing that he couldn't hide it, and said: "The master has a request, Yang dares to disobey his fate!" The Buddha's true body relics are indeed in the army, but Master Xuyuan of the Great Ci'en Temple personally guards them, and Yang must discuss with Master Xuyuan. ”

Kuma nodded: "Then please ask the Prime Minister to go and discuss, Haruma is waiting here!" ”

The meaning of Kuma is too clear - when he can't see the Buddha's true body relics, the Tubo army will stand by and let Yang Guozhong fend for himself.

Now, Yang Guozhong has been completely driven to a dead end.

If there were no Tubo people, although the Sixth Army of the Praetorian Guards was ready to move, if Yang Guozhong dealt with it properly, he would always have a glimmer of hope.

And now, the Tubo army appeared in Mangshan, although it is thirty miles apart, but it will not take long for the six armies to find out that Yang Guozhong colluded with Tubo to betray the country and seek glory, and at that time, the six armies will inevitably shake, and Chen Xuanli will not need to see the emperor, he will attack Yang Guozhong - chaotic ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, and there is no need for holy decrees.

If the Tubo army stood by and watched, Yang Guozhong would have only one way to die!

Yang Guozhong gritted his teeth: "Master Guma, please come later, Yang will come when he goes!" ”

……

Under the moonlight, Jincheng seemed to be asleep.

On the hall of the county government, Zhang Xing hugged Guo Xiu, under the plaque of "Mirror Hanging", in front of him, a remnant candle flickered in the breeze, reflecting a sign holder on several cases, a shocking wood, an iron fan, and a bloodstained knife to the sky!

The night was as silent as water, and occasionally a few dog barks echoed in the empty streets and alleys, making this empty city even more bleak and empty.

Guo Xiu snuggled in Zhang Xing's arms and let out a gentle dream. Zhang Xing caressed her hair lovingly, and the thick hair was soft and smooth, like a waterfall, pouring on Zhang Xing's knees.

This weak and handsome girl next door identified Zhang Xing as her husband in less than an hour, and she slept peacefully like a child in Zhang Xing's arms.

It is said that girls are gullible, but girls have their own way of perceiving the world, which cannot be explained by reason, but it is often accurate!

A gust of wind passed, and a candlestick burst out of the remaining candle, and a pungent bloody smell blew in the wind.

Guo Xiu's thin body trembled slightly, her eyes closed slightly, but two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

Zhang Xing wrapped the cloak wrapped around Guo Xiu's body, and said softly: "Don't be afraid! ”

Under the light of candles, there were several bloody corpses lying horizontally.

On the other Taishi chair beside Zhang Xing, Guo Congjin leaned on the back of the chair, his chest was bloody, and he had stopped breathing.
