In fact, for Ma Lu, this matter was just a temporary idea, after all, the fact that Kongjian was still alive was not what he expected.

But that's often how things turn out, and it's often unexpected. While Kong Jian wrinkled his brows and thought about this matter, Ma Lu was also thinking about this matter in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very important.

Strictly speaking, Buddhism is actually a foreign Hu religion, but it has been introduced to the Central Plains for a long time and has been localized. Buddhism in the Central Plains, and Buddhism in Tianzhu, is already completely different, with a deep imprint of Han culture, of course, Han culture is also deeply influenced by Buddhism, Buddhism has been an extremely important part of Han culture, this is also an indisputable fact.

Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and Han culture are inseparable, now Confucianism occupies an orthodox position, and Buddhism and Taoism are in the open and secret fighting, the Tang royal family originated from Xianbei, born in the Western Wei Dynasty He Bayue of the army, but recognized the Taoist patriarch Lao Tzu as the ancestor, so after the founding of the country, Taoism is naturally vigorously supported, but Buddhism is also deep-rooted, the strength can not be underestimated, when the Empress Wu was in power, Buddhism was highly respected, Buddhism developed rapidly in the past few decades, and the Tang Emperor after the Empress Wu are the descendants of the Empress Wu, So Buddhism was not suppressed.

Ma Lan does not believe in Buddhism, but he does not reject Buddhism. Now on the territory of Ah San, Hinduism is indeed booming, and the territory of Buddhism is shrinking day by day, which is not a rumor, but a fact. If this matter is transmitted to the Central Plains, Middle-earth Buddhism is bound to react violently, and such a reaction is undoubtedly beneficial to the Southern Expedition to Tianzhu, to a certain extent, it can also add a righteous name to this Southern Expedition, although he doesn't care about this, but after all, it will be a little beneficial.

"If so...... What a Hindu guy should be killed! The thin old monk was silent for a long time, and then slowly raised his head. There is already a karmic fire burning in his eyes.

As a disciple of Buddhism, I heard that the Tianzhu Buddha Kingdom was poisoned, and Kongjian couldn't calm down after all. The image of King Kong's angry eyes is what Kongjian looks like today. At this time, he had completely believed Ma Lan's words.

"yes, it really deserves to be killed!" Ma Lan nodded angrily. "Not only will you think like this, but when thousands of Buddhist children in the Central Plains learn about this, I am afraid that they will all think like this. Therefore, it is necessary to conquer Tianzhu in the south, not only in the north Tianzhu we have to control in our hands, but also in the entire Tianzhu in our hands. We must keep the place of the Buddha's birth, and we must also keep the Nalanda Temple. What kind of Hinduism, let them all die! ”

"Monk, the big cannibal believes in Hu Da. A certain family is extremely jealous in their hearts, Mobei Tiele Nine and my Tang Dynasty are feuds, but the Tianzhu people are different, so this time the soldiers enter Tianzhu, a certain family can promise you not to wantonly kill Buddhist disciples. As for those Hindus, they are the enemies of the Buddhists, and a certain family will naturally not let them go. ”

Sorami looked at Ma Lan. He said in a low voice: "General, do you really not kill the disciples of Buddhism?" ”

Ma Lan nodded. said with a smile: "Buddhism persuades people to be good, and it is also to educate the people, how can a certain family kill them?" There are a lot of people in the Central Plains who believe in the Buddha, and if I do this, I will be the enemy of thousands of Han people, such a stupid thing. I'm not going to do it. This southern expedition to Tianzhu, for a certain family, is for the Tang Dynasty to expand its territory, but for the Buddhists in Middle Earth, it is to recapture the holy land. The Battle of the Demon Slayer Path! So monk, you are really wrong to listen to that Padmasambhava's words to assassinate someone! If you don't go south this time, in a few years, North Tianzhu is afraid that there will be no place for the children of the Buddhist family! ”

Sorumi nodded: "What the general said is that the monk knows that he is wrong. As long as the general does not harm the children of the Buddhist family, the children of the Buddhist family in the world will be grateful for the kindness of the general. ”

Ma Lan smiled and said: "This is natural, among the great monks, there are many people who distinguish between right and wrong. If they knew about Tianzhu's current situation, they would definitely be with the enemy. Originally, across a Tubo, what happened in Tianzhu was beyond our strength, and now that Tubo has been destroyed, Qiangtang has become the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty and Tianzhu have become neighbors. This general can promise you, not only not to poison the children of the Buddhist family, but also to allow the senior monks of Middle Earth to enter Tianzhu to preach the Dharma after occupying Tianzhu in the future. As long as the land of Tianzhu is merged into my Tang Dynasty, the atmosphere of the Buddha country will inevitably reappear in time. It is beneficial to both the Tang Dynasty and the Buddhist family, so this time is also an opportunity for you, monk. ”

Sorumi nodded vigorously, a gleam in his eyes.

The Pure Land of Buddhism is not allowed to be insulted, and the current situation in Tianzhu is really urgent, as a disciple of Buddhism, it is his responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the way. This kind of thing is completely different from fighting with the Taoists in the Zhongnan Mountain.

He was already dying, and with blood on his hands, he thought that he would not be able to wash away his sins and would not be able to reach Elysium in the future, but now it seems that this is not necessarily impossible.

If the place of the Buddha's birth is preserved and the country of the Buddha of Tianzhu is reopened, such a great merit, will the Buddha have mercy and allow himself to go to the Elysian World?

Thinking of this, the old monk raised his head, glanced at Ma Lan, and then looked at the map on the table, his expression was quite determined.

The general's words made Kong Jianmao suddenly open. Thanks to the general, Sorami knows what to do! ”

"Oh? So tell me, what are you going to do? Ma Lan smiled.

Kongjian said solemnly: "I will rush to Khotan, and then quickly return to Chang'an and report what happened in Tianzhu." In this matter, we must rely on the strength of the entire Buddhism to help the general! The general can rest assured that Buddhism has been in the Central Plains for many years, and the financial resources are still there. Even if they can't go into battle to kill the enemy, they will do their best to supply the needs of the army. Of course, I'm a disciple of Buddhism...... It's not that you can't kill. ”

Ma Lan squinted at Kongjian and said with a smile: "Retribution, you said retribution...... Hehe, look at this, your organizational system is still very tight! ”

Kongjian said: "Buddhism is in the Central Plains, and it has always followed the rules, but there are still subordinates, not any conspiracy." ”

"I didn't say you had any conspiracy." Ma Ling smiled, "It's a good thing that Buddhism wants to contribute." Since you are willing to participate, a certain family can be more tolerant of the children of the Buddhist family. However, such a thing does not have to be too alarming, and if it is too alarming, it is not a good thing. ”

Sorumi nodded: "Since Master Daoxin, Buddhism has always kept secrets. This should not be publicized. The monk also understood, so he followed the general's words. ”

"That's very good." Ma Lan tapped his fingers on the table and said with a smile, "Why don't you go to Chang'an...... Not necessarily. As long as you write a letter by hand, a certain family will send someone to Chang'an as quickly as possible, which is definitely much faster than you. As for yourself. It is better to return to the valley as soon as possible. ”

"What do you mean by ......?" Sorumi frowned.

"The meaning of a certain family, monks, those Qiang tribes who were persuaded by Padmasambhava to take refuge in the Buddha should all be in your hands, right?" Ma Lan looked at the old monk and said with a slight smile.

Sorami nodded: "It's natural. I preached the Dharma with Guru Padmasambhava, and after Guru Padmasambhava died, they naturally listened to me. ”

"How strong are these Qiang tribes now?" Ma Lan asked.

Sorumi said: "Originally, they had some strength, but in the past few years, they have fought against each other and other tribes. The strength has been lost by half. ”

"Be specific."

"There are five tribes in the Luoxia River Valley, three tribes in the Great Snow Mountain, and now there are about 200,000 Dingkou, but half of them are old and weak, and the rest are more than seventy percent of women, and there are less than 30,000 adult men...... "In the past few years, the fight has been too hard!" At first, it was the monks who instigated them to fight each other. Later, he became red-eyed, and many tribes were originally enemies. You must live and die...... O sin! ”

"Two hundred thousand...... Isn't it a lot? Ma Lan smiled.

Sorami sighed, "Two hundred thousand...... This is the number before the onset of winter. After the winter, there are fewer fights. In the past few years, the bigger and poorer they are, the livestock is getting less and less, and the food is getting less and less. Now there is not much winter fighting, but most people are afraid that this winter will not survive. If you eat too little, you can only eat as many people as you can. Everyone eats less, so naturally they have to be wary of each other, and tribes that can't survive will take risks to rob other tribes. Whether it's robbing others or guarding against being robbed, you have to feed the strong people. So most of those old and weak can't survive this winter. 200,000 people, I don't know if there are 100,000 after the winter...... It's better in the spring, but then the fight will start again......"

"Didn't you start the fight? Why are you sorry for these people now? Ma Lan smiled.

Kongjian smiled bitterly: "The monk is a Tang person, so he instigated the Qiang people to fight each other, but the monk is still a monk after all." ”

Ma Ling nodded and said with a smile: "After winter, there will be 100,000 people, which is not a lot." The old and the weak were starved, and the remaining men should be the adult men, the stronger women, and the children. These people stay on the Qiangtang, but I am afraid that they will not last long, so it is also a great merit to let them go to Tianzhu to eat. My Datang's goal of occupying Qiangtang has been achieved, and these people can also give them a way out. ”

"General, what do you mean...... No longer weaken these Qiang tribes? Sorumi said in amazement.

For a moment, he couldn't turn the corner.

"The number of Qiang people is still too much, so naturally a group of them will be reduced, but the southern expedition to Tianzhu is also a matter of management, so these Qiang tribes that can be controlled by you can give them a glimmer of life."

Ma Ling pointed to the map, nodded at the surrendered city and Luo Qi, and said with a smile, "Southern Expedition to Tianzhu, the main force will be the Qiang people, for the time being, I don't have too many manpower available, so it can only be like this." In this southern expedition, the generals were divided into two routes, the west was the Zhangxiong cavalry to the north to Baishitan, and then over the mountains to the outer Zhangxiong, along the river to the south; The east side is up to you, and you can take the Qiang tribe you can control from this mountain pass to reach North Tianzhu. ”

"Northern Tianzhu is still the territory of Buddhism, and soon to the south will be the territory of the Hindus, you have to convince the disciples of the Northern Tianzhu to fight against those Hindus with you, and if necessary, you can use thunder means, after all, it is for the prosperity of Buddhism, and the Buddha will not blame you. Based on Tianzhu in the north and then expanding to the south, the Qiang people are brave, not comparable to the Tianzhu people, and how much land you can take back from those Hindus depends on your ability. ”

"The Qiang people have a chance to live, and you have seized the territory for the disciples of Buddhism, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone." (To be continued......)
