Chapter 657: The Buddhas Are in Trouble

"King, in front of you is Wulei City, the original Wulei Kingdom has been destroyed by Qiuzi!" Wen Qiao stood beside Wei Shuo and said. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wei Shuo was riding on a tall horse, and was looking at Wulei City in the distance with all his attention, his face was focused and solemn, bluffing the generals to calm down, and they all peeked up and down at King Yan, not understanding what the small Wulei City in front of him was worth paying attention to.

After a long while, Xun Guanniang, who couldn't hold back, spoke: "King, isn't it a small country in the Western Regions?" Back then, the Marquis of Dingyuan was able to subdue the countries of the Western Regions with only thirty-six people, but now tens of thousands of Yan soldiers are coming to the city, how can a small Wulei country be enough? ”

"Do you think the widow is worried about attacking the Oobase?"

Wei Shuo shook his head and turned around to explain: "I'm actually worried about the Buddhist forces in the Western Regions, the Western Regions are thirty-six countries, known as the Ten Thousand Miles Buddha Country. The power of Buddhism here is far greater than we can imagine. As far as the Wulei in front of him is concerned, the total number of soldiers and civilians in the entire city is less than 10,000. ”

"In addition, there are nearly 1,000 monks, and there are more than a dozen temples."

When it came to Buddhism, everyone at the scene was deeply moved. At the beginning of Yanqi, although the local monks learned that the Yan army was coming west, they thought that the king of Yan wanted to destroy the Buddha in the Western Regions, and had already fled to other places, but they still left many temples.

The flourishing of Buddhism in the Western Regions began in 260 B.C., when Emperor Ashoka sent Mahalqita and Mashati to preach here.

After that, Buddhism spread rapidly in the Western Regions, and by the fourth century AD, all the countries in the Western Regions had adopted Buddhism as their state religion, which was at the peak of Buddhism in the Western Regions.

The current situation of Buddhism in the Western Regions will continue until the Sui and Tang dynasties, when Muhammad created Muhammad * Si Lin * in the Great Eclipse, practiced Buddhism with military strength, and destroyed Buddhism wherever the horse's hooves came.

"Buddhism pervades all aspects of the Western Regions, and its strength should not be underestimated! If the people of Yan just want to make the countries submit, then there is no need to worry about Buddhism. But the widow wants to conquer, complete to conquer! ”

Wei Shuo waved his arm vigorously and said generously, "What is conquest? In history, the strong Qin soldiers came out of the Han Valley and swept the six countries, was it a conquest? Conquest, of course! However, this kind of conquest is only a superficial conquest by force, and once it encounters a stir, the hidden danger of military conquest will completely explode, and then bury the entire empire. ”

"Don't do this kind of conquest!"

"If Yan wants to conquer the Western Regions, it should not only be reflected in the conquest by force, but also in the cultural and ideological conquest of the Western Regions. Only in this way can the Yan State gain a foothold in the Western Regions, and there will never be a decline of the Central Plains Dynasty and a rebellion in the Western Regions. ”

"And to complete such a conquest, it is necessary to eradicate Buddhism and let the benevolence of the Great Heavenly Venerable spread throughout the Western Regions."

Speaking of this, Wei Shuo seemed to have made up his mind to die, and pointed to the Wulei City in front of him, "Defeat the Wulei and destroy the Buddha in the Western Regions!" ”

To be honest, if it weren't for the complete conquest of the Western Regions, and Buddhism happened to be a stumbling block for the Yan Kingdom, Wei Shuo really had no interest in destroying any Buddha. It's just that now in his position, sometimes it is inevitable that he will do something against his will.

"Ran Zhan, Suo Bao, Yao Yisheng, and Xun Guanniang each led a group of infantry to attack the four city gates at the same time, Yang Hu was responsible for the overall command, and the rest of the armies were on guard and resting in the camp. And the widow stayed in the camp, waiting for all the good news, hoping that you would not let the widow down! ”

"The last general obeys!" The generals replied with a bang.

Seeing that His Royal Highness King Yan personally supervised the battle, the generals were excited, and they all geared up, wanting to behave well in front of King Yan. Especially for young lieutenants such as Suo Bao and Shao Yuniang, this is a rare opportunity.

In the end, Wei Shuo led Wen Qiao, Lu Chang, Chen An, Deng Yue and others back to the camp, and before they could enter the Chinese army's tent, they heard a deafening shout of killing in their ears.

In an instant, the arrows flew towards the head of Wulei City like a torrential rain, which suddenly caused a terrible scream, and the shallow moat could not stop the Yan army's advance at all, and the Yan army killed the city wall with just one charge.

Ran Zhan, Zhou Fu, Suo Bao, and Xun Guanniang are more courageous than the other, and they are really gods who block and kill gods and Buddhas. Originally, those soldiers in the Western Regions thought that Xun Guanniang, a woman, was easy to deal with, but after they got started, they knew that women were also not soft when they killed people.

I saw Xun Guanniang dancing with a spear like a dragon going out to sea, out of nowhere, and the enemies in front of him fell one after another, and soon killed a bloody road.

The other three generals were not much slower than Xun Guanniang, and the four generals took the city at almost the same time.

From the time the Yan army launched the attack to the capture of the entire city, it took less than a quarter of an hour before and after.

It is said that the young general's performance is good, which should make Wei Shuo, who is waiting for news in the big tent, happy, but he didn't expect that after he only glanced at the good news, he threw it aside, and instead said worriedly: "The wind is going to rise, and the real war has just begun!" ”

The capture of Wulei City was only a very inconspicuous victory in the course of the Yan army's westward expedition, but the impact after this battle was far beyond everyone's imagination. It turned out that soon after the war, King Yan publicly stated that he would ban the spread of Buddhism in the Western Regions, and at the same time ordered the destruction of all temples in Wulei City.

Yan Guo has destroyed the Buddha! This news exploded over the entire Western Regions like a thunderbolt, and then spread all over the country at a rapid speed.

……

The spring cold is precipitous, and a team of sergeants escorting several Buddhist monks just walked out of the temple gate, and saw that both sides of the road outside the temple were kneeling with black pressure on a group of Buddhist believers.

And these believers watched the imprisoned monks lying on the ground one by one, and tears and snot could not stop flowing.

"My lord, do you want to disperse them?" A commander of the army whispered to Dubo beside him.

Duber sneered: "Why do you want to disperse? Don't they like to kneel? Just let them kneel! Even if you kneel to death, don't pay attention. The king has an order: From today on, there is only one religion that can be preached in the Western Regions, and that is to expound the religion! Any non-expositional congregation will be brutally suppressed. This is a religious decree issued by the king himself! ”

It was a bloody religious war, and in order to completely eliminate the influence of the local culture in the Western Regions, the Yan army had to systematically begin to purge the local entrenched Buddhist forces after seizing various cities.

At the same time, with the strong support of the Yan army, the exposition began to be stationed in the Western Regions on a large scale.

At this time, the prisoner carts creaked out, and the Buddhist believers who knelt on the ground raised their heads one after another, only to see that the former high-ranking monks were rudely driven into the prisoner vans by the van army, and they looked so embarrassed.

In fact, if it weren't for the complete conquest of the Western Regions, Wei Shuo would not have ordered the destruction of the Buddha in the Western Regions, you must know that he did not openly propose to destroy the Buddha in the Yan Kingdom. However, in order to change the original system of the Western Regions, Yan had to resort to violent means and forcibly impose its own ideas and culture on the people of the Western Regions.

"Master...... Master......"

Bitter weeping sounded again among the believers, who were sacred monks in their minds. How can the Yan people treat the Buddha in their minds like this? Some believers even wanted to stand up and stop the Yan army.

"Master!"

Suddenly, a middle-aged monk rushed to the prisoner cart desperately, holding the prisoner cart and howling, "Master, you can't go to Yan Kingdom, they will kill your ......"

"You can't go, Master! If you go, you'll never come back! Seeing this, the believers on both sides couldn't help but shout together.

The face of the senior monk in the prison car was not shocked, he glanced at everyone softly, and said in a calm tone, "The poor monk is here to promote Buddhism, and everyone doesn't have to worry." King Yan went to the poor monk to go over, and there was no malice, just to discuss Buddhism. After the poor monks are gone, you must guard the sand gate and do not act rashly! ”

At this time, Du Bo, who was in charge of the escort, walked up, and for him, who believed in teaching, the monk in front of him was too noisy.

He yelled in a thick voice, "What are you people doing? It's rare to want to rebel and can't succeed? King Yan invites you monks to go. That's your pleasure! Why do you look so unhappy! ”

When the surrounding monks heard this, they dared not speak up, but a young monk suddenly jumped up and shouted, "Beast! You brute! I'm fighting with you! ”

As he spoke, he grabbed a stone from the ground and rushed to Dubo, but just as he was about to drop it, he was kicked to the ground by the agile Duber. (To be continued.) )
