Safely out of Gusu City, Fan Qinghui did not turn to Jiankang as soon as possible, but went to a hidden temple in the nearby mountains.

Buddhism developed quite rapidly during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, especially during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang, Emperor Wu of Liang almost dedicated the entire Liang Kingdom to Buddhism, which made the power of Buddhism in the south swell very much.

It was in the Chen Dynasty that because of the collusion of the Demon Gate with the government to secretly suppress it, the momentum of the Southern Buddhism Gate slowly declined, but the latent power should not be underestimated.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are Buddhist temples in almost every county in the south, and the scale is large and small.

In many inconspicuous mountains and forests, even if it is inaccessible, there may be a small Buddhist temple, and the current small Buddha temple is the best example.

In the main hall of the Buddhist temple, two old monks with old faces but solemn faces sit cross-legged, exuding a unique atmosphere of Buddhist monks, which is close to make people have the magical effect of tranquility.

After Fan Qinghui entered the door, the two old monks opened their eyes together, and one of them asked, "Qinghui, what did General Lei say?" ”

Shaking his head, Fan Qinghui smiled bitterly: "I just won a battle, General Lei's confidence swelled so much that he put forward a request to be a prince in the south, I'm afraid Emperor Sui will not be able to agree!" ”

"It's really impossible to say yes!"

The old monk shook his head and said: "At present, the Great Sui State is thriving, and Emperor Sui is at a time when his confidence is skyrocketing, how can he agree to the coercion of a general in Nanchen District?" ”

Another old monk asked, "Doesn't he see the situation clearly?" ”

"How is that possible?"

Fan Qinghui smiled bitterly: "General Lei has seen the situation very thoroughly, but it is precisely because of this that he dares to open his mouth, and the combat strength of his men and horses is indeed powerful!" ”

The two old monks nodded in unison, this is human nature, and if you want to convince a powerful military general like Lei Hu, it will definitely not be easy.

Fan Qinghui sat on another futon and said with a wry smile: "The key is that this person has already seen through the path of the Lingnan Song Valve, and strongly expressed that he should refer to the situation of the Lingnan Song Valve, I really can't be the master!" ”

"Amitabha, in order to save the people of the south from the suffering of war, we must persuade General Lei not to continue to fight against the Sui army, and we must persuade him to cooperate with the Great Sui!"

It was still the old monk who spoke at the beginning, speaking in a calm and leisurely tone, without the slightest abnormality on his face, and his psychological quality was quite strong.

"I'm afraid it's not easy!"

Fan Qinghui frowned and said: "But this one has given conditions, as long as the imperial court agrees to his request, the matter between the demon concubine Zhang Lihua and the prince of Nanchen can be discussed, and even the Heshi Bi can be taken out and handed over to Emperor Sui!" ”

Hearing He's Bi, the eyes of the two old monks flashed, and one of them nodded: "It's really a good spirit, it's a pity that it's a good treasure!" ”

The three of them were silent for a moment, and they were a little helpless that He's Bi was still controlled by the demon concubine Zhang Lihua.

It is said that on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Sui army suddenly crossed the river and raided Jiankang City, and several innate masters besieged the demon concubine Zhang Lihua, in fact, several first-class top experts of the Buddhist Sect were hidden on one side, ready to take advantage of the chaos to take away the ancient treasures and clans.

Who would have expected that a thunder tiger would be killed halfway, and the demon concubine Zhang Lihua would be rescued from the palace, not to mention, and he would be taken away with Shibi.

At that time, the two old monks were also there, and Fan Qinghui had been looking for an opportunity to sneak attack and take away He's Bi, but unfortunately they never found a chance, so they delayed until now.

"Did the actions of the two masters succeed?"

With a long exhalation to calm the distracting thoughts in her heart, Fan Qinghui changed the topic and asked, "I haven't heard that Gusu is making a disturbance all the time!" ”

As he spoke, a pair of beautiful eyes looked over with anticipation.

The two old monks laughed bitterly in unison, and one of them shook his head and said: "There are many masters in Gusu, and the generals are extremely well protected, and we have no chance to sneak in at all!" ”

"In this way, it seems that we must report the situation to King Jin!"

Fan Qinghui was not disappointed, the two old monks in front of him were the two holy monks of the Southern Buddhism Sect, and their martial arts had reached the first-class top level.

It's a pity that the two holy monks have a profound and upright character, and they would not have done such a small act at all, and when they saw that Gusu was well protected, they didn't hurt the wicked.

Of course, the two holy monks are also afraid of Thunder Tiger's strength, once they make too much noise, it is easy to attract Thunder Tiger who is not far away, and the two of them are not sure that they can suppress Thunder Tiger, so they immediately withdrew after realizing that it was inviolable.

It is also the realm of the two holy monks, and there is something wrong with the faint sense of the situation, otherwise the two holy monks are likely to encounter a blatant attack by the thunder tiger, and one of them may suffer a big loss.

The three high-level Buddhists were very helpless in their hearts, they didn't want to confront Lei Hu head-on, the strength of this guy was too strong, and they didn't want to provoke a big enemy for Buddhism. 、

But they also want to get some dazzling credits, so that when Yang Jian talks about meritorious deeds in the future, they will compete for more share of resources for Buddhism, and it is naturally impossible to be unconcerned about their personal interests.

This time, they took a fluke mentality, just hoping to achieve the calculation and purpose of Buddhism.

Fan Qinghui lobbied Lei Hu, of course, there was also the intention of dragging him, and the two Southern Buddhist Sects personally went out to target the demon concubine Zhang Lihua, and it was best to get rid of her, if there was a chance to get rid of her, it would be good if he could snatch He's Bi.

Although Yang Jian was single-handedly promoted to the throne by Buddhism, it is a pity that this is quite eloquent, and when the strength in his hands becomes stronger, he does not attach so much importance to Buddhism, and there is even a faint rejection and suppression.

Buddhism is naturally not good at stubble, and now that the Sui Emperor is powerful, they can't fight head-on, but with He's Bi in hand, they have the means to contain the Yang royal family, and they can choose another person in the name of the Lord of Destiny at any time to choose and replace him, and He's Bi is naturally a very critical and important prop.

It's just a pity that there is no opportunity to take advantage of this time, and when Yang Guang, the king of Jin, learns of the existence of He's Bi, it is impossible for Buddhism to get involved in it in the future.

In the face of the powerful Sui Empire, although the power of Buddhism is extremely huge, but it is also unable to withstand the monstrous anger of the Sui Emperor, not long ago the Northern Wei Taiwu and the Northern Zhou Emperor Wu destroyed the Buddha twice, but the Buddhism was tossed to a heavy loss, once the Heshi Bi fell into the hands of the Yang royal family, the Buddhism no longer had the possibility of involvement.

As expected, because the main force of the Sui army returned again in vain, and even suffered heavy losses, Yang Guang, the king of Jin, as the supreme commander of the Sui army to destroy Chen, couldn't sit still, and went directly to Jiankang to discuss with the front-line generals about countermeasures, and it was necessary to solve the trouble of the Thunder Tiger Department as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the local forces in various parts of Nanchen saw that the Sui army was unable to solve the Lei Hu Department for a long time, they would definitely have doubts about the combat strength of the Sui army, and they would have the bold idea of creating trouble for the Sui army to unify the south.

At this time, Yang Guang can be said to be wise and martial, and he can see the situation clearly and accurately, knowing that Chen Jun of the Thunder Tiger Department has become the biggest obstacle in the eyes of the Sui army.

Just as Lei Hu considered at the beginning, the 500,000 Sui army was not finished, and it was not difficult to completely defeat the Chen army of the Lei Hu Department, but the number of Sui troops that could be lost made Yang Guang a little difficult.

If the Chen army of the Thunder Tiger Department would consume more than 200,000 elite Sui troops with a single click, wouldn't the 500,000 army lose more than half of the 500,000 troops when the Sui army took the entire land of Nanchen?

Not to mention that Yang Guang himself was not satisfied with such a result, and Yang Jian, the Sui Emperor who was sitting in Guanzhong, would not be satisfied.

If the main force of the Sui army is lost in the south, what will the Yang family do to deter the northern gate lord family, and the Turks who have always been dishonest?

It's not that Yang Guang didn't think about recruiting Lei Hu, but the price he needed to pay was relatively large, and it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while, so he had to wait for the situation to change first.

At this time, Cihang Jingzhai or Buddhism, the news from the Buddha Gate made Yang Guangda overjoyed.

It's like falling asleep, someone will send a pillow!

Although Lei Hu's request was quite bold, the strength of him and his subordinates was there, and he deserved the respect of the high-level Sui army and even the Sui Emperor in Guanzhong.

If it was only in the name of surrender, but in fact it was to obtain a status equivalent to that of a prince with real power, neither Emperor Yang Jian of Sui nor the ambitious Yang Guang would agree.

The Lingnan Song Valve is the Lingnan Song Valve, and although the Thunder Tiger Department is extremely powerful, it has not yet made Yang Jian and Yang Guang father and son jealous.

However, the quid pro quo that Lei Hu was about to come up with made Yang Guang extremely distracted, and even sent a messenger as soon as possible to send his secret letter to the rear of Guanzhong as soon as possible, which he couldn't do.

And Shibi!

This is a national treasure that represents the orthodoxy of imperial power, and it is a treasure that Emperor Yang Jian of Sui has always valued.

There is no way, who called Yang Jian to win the country is not right, and the orthodox status of the Great Sui is not very stable.

This is also the reason why Yang Jian will kill the important generals of the court from time to time, he can replace the Northern Zhou, and others can naturally replace the Sui, because the orthodox status of the Sui Dynasty is not strong.

But if you have He's Bi in your hand, the situation is different.

Not to mention the reaction of the gate valve family, at least after the people of the world know about it, they will slowly recognize and even take it for granted the legitimacy of the Sui Dynasty and the Yang royal family.

This was greatly beneficial to the consolidation of the rule of the Yang family, and Yang Guang knew this, so he was overjoyed to send the news back to Guanzhong, and at the same time planned how to negotiate with the Sui army of the Thunder Tiger Department to achieve the best results.

Not to mention, Lei Hu also asked the Buddha to spread the word, even the follow-up treatment of the demon concubine Zhang Lihua and the prince can be properly arranged, which makes Yang Guang more satisfied.

Whether there is the existence of Prince Nanchen or not, the will to resist in various parts of Nanchen is completely different.

Yang Guang also thought that Lei Hu was going to exchange the heads of Nanchen Demon Concubine Zhang Lihua and the prince for the glory and wealth in the future, although he was very ashamed of this behavior in his heart, but I have to say that this saved the Sui army a lot of trouble.

As for Lei Hu's request for self-reliance, Yang Guang felt that it was okay to agree, and it was not too late to slowly concoct it in the future, and at present, it was most important to get the important treasures of the country such as He's Bi first.

Obviously, Emperor Yang Jian of Sui, who was sitting in Guanzhong, also thought so, and soon a secret order was sent to let Yang Guang, the king of Jin, preside over the negotiation matters with full authority, and Lei Hu's request could be agreed, regardless of whether the prince of Nanchen had to be sent to Guanzhong for placement.
