After a period of rest, the Wind Roar Army has gradually regained its combat effectiveness, and the news of the spies sent out by Yifeng is also gradually coming.

The war forces in the southwest states and Mizhou have almost all been defeated by the Wind Roar Army, and only the self-defense troops of the two states are left, but this scattered force is nothing more than an ant-like existence in the eyes of the Wind Roar Army today, and because Buddhism is prevalent in these two states, the government has no intention of attacking them.

Since this is the case, the Wind Roar Army will naturally not cause trouble, and Yifeng arranged for King Duoman and King Mu Shu to go to the counties of the two states to coordinate, and select two officials to take on the duties of the pastoral envoys who have fled to Junzhou, so as to stabilize the normal life of the people in the two states, and the autumn has not committed any crimes.

The fastest thing to come was the news from Yunzhou, Yan Yinshan told Yifeng that they had completed the task of advancing northward, and had been stationed next to the border between Yunzhou and Junzhou, and the location of the camp was Mingwang Temple, and asked Yifeng when he would carry out the next plan.

After discussing with the fire monkey and the monks, Yifeng decided to let him rest for a while, drill the soldiers, listen to the news, and wait for the opportunity.

But the bad news also came quickly, first of all, there are Wanzhou and Jiangzhou in the southeast of Yunzhou.

These two states are located in the southeast of Dawu country, in the lower reaches of the Yi River, the climate is warm and humid, the river branches are numerous, originally with the help of developed and convenient river transportation, commerce and trade are very prosperous, is a rich land.

As the wealthy become more affluent, they pay more attention to their various wishes, such as health, karma, and heirs, which are unattainable and difficult to measure and achieve with money, or even karmic retribution in the next life, so they are more willing to give kindness to accumulate good fortune for future generations, and satisfy their longing for happiness and prosperity in the next life.

Naturally, Buddhism, which meets so many of their requirements, is Buddhism, which is tolerant of all rivers, has great compassion, is humble and has many legends of retribution, and the goodwill of Buddhism allows them to do good deeds, and they have enough strength and ability to do so.

In addition to the above reasons, in such a rich place, the deceit of commerce also makes them feel the sinister of people's hearts, and the purity and indifference of Buddhism and the understanding of people's hearts also allow them to seek a pure land of Buddhism on the battlefield of commerce and trade, so that their souls can get a moment of peace.

Therefore, the peak of Buddhism in Wanzhou and Jiangzhou, the number of Buddhist temples in this is huge, it can be described as a magnificent view, there was once a poet who praised: "Four hundred and eighty temples in the south of the Yangtze River, how many buildings are in the smoke and rain." It is a beautiful portrayal of the magnificent scenery of Buddhism and Taoism in the rich land south of the Yangtze River in Dawu Kingdom.

Originally, in this place, Buddhism and Taoism were so prosperous, and the Buddhist monks of Buddhism should not be oppressed by the war of exterminating the Dharma, and even encountered life and death difficulties, however, behind the prosperity of Buddhism, there were also many unstable factors, which broke out in this war of extermination.

First of all, the prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism will inevitably accumulate too much wealth, such as a large number of acres of fertile land and a lot of wealth that rivals the wealth of the city.

You must know that the land of wealth is also a place of poverty, and in this era of the reign of Wei Yu of the Great Wu Kingdom, if there are a large number of rich people in a place, it means that more poor people will become slaves who deliver wealth to them. This master-servant relationship is not formed through the signing of contracts, but develops naturally. Therefore, in Jiangzhou and Wanzhou, just on the edge of the rich towns, there are a large number of poor kilns, most of the poor people live here, and all the miserable and desolate things happen here, and they become the pastime of the rich people in the city after tea and dinner.

It is true that many wealthy people have given their belongings to Buddhist temples, but can Buddhist temples still concentrate on Buddhism in the face of such huge wealth? If so, how many? Of course, they will scatter part of their wealth to hide people's eyes and ears and block right and wrong, but how many will actually stay in the temple?

Secondly, Buddhism occupies a large area of land, so where do poor mountain villagers go to cultivate the land to survive? Still can't escape the fate of becoming monks and monks in Buddhist temples, they work hard for Buddhist temples, and in the end they all make robes for Buddhist temples.

In such a situation, Emperor Wu's Eight Golden Dragon Orders came and instantly smashed the prosperity on the surface of Buddhism, and many homeless or destitute poor people suddenly discovered a large amount of wealth in Buddhist temples, who would be able to hold it? Of course, rushing into the temple with red eyes, taking what you have, and taking what you have to create nothing! You don't bless us who are poor, but the richer you are, the more you bless, if you don't take back what belongs to me at this time, when will you stay?!

In the village, there is also a large area of monks and households concentrated outbreak, they are under the oppression of the Buddha households and those Buddhist monks who do not abide by the rules at all just to become full-time money-making monks, they have long been unable to bear it, although the famine of the past year has not affected Jiangwan Erzhou, but the dissatisfaction and complaints of the monks and households will only be more than the victims, not less than them! We want to get back the land that is ours!

At this moment, where are the rich families? Didn't they sincerely seek blessing from the Buddha? Didn't they eat fasting and pray for the Buddha and believe in Buddhism?

In fact, the rich gentry of Jiangwan and Erzhou, where commerce and trade are developed, have to deal well with the local government, even if you become the richest businessman, in the history of Dawu Kingdom, the status of businessmen has always been ranked last, those farmers who work hard are in the first place, and the people take food as the sky!

Even the grain they grew was piled up in the warehouse of the Buddhist temple, because the previous policy of the Great Wu Kingdom was that the Buddhist temple "does not lose an inch of silk to the government, and does not enter the public warehouse when it is promoted"! Even though they live at the bottom of the oppression, they are still ahead of the rich businessmen, this is status!

Therefore, the wealthy businessmen have always been alert, in the face of this general trend, do they still want to please those monks who are wide and fat, with oily faces, and big bellies and fat intestines? The government is the real backer of their wealth!

And the status of the commoners was not shown before, but Emperor Wu was wise and martial, and issued the Eight Golden Dragon Orders, opening a way for them to advance to their status. Under the impact of the state border army led by the government, and under the resistance of countless ordinary people and poor monks, the Buddhism of Jiangwan and the two states was about to collapse, and they quickly reduced their strength, leaving the Buddhist temples they relied on for survival, and becoming a disliked force wandering in the two states.

However, with the development of the war situation, the state pastors of the two state governments, and the generals who led the state border army to suppress Buddhism, gradually realized that this force was becoming more and more difficult to fight, and it seemed that they began to become extremely resilient, and no matter how they attacked, they could form a stubborn defense.

They didn't know that the so-called prosperity of Buddhism in Jiangnan before was actually a false prosperity, under the suppression of Emperor Wu's Eight Golden Dragon Orders, Buddhism seemed to be defeated and vulnerable, but in fact, it was rapidly squeezing out the water brought by false prosperity.

Just like those Buddhist monks with oily faces and fat heads and big ears, when they saw such a vigorous war coming, they were so frightened that they longed to grow hair overnight and return to the vulgar, after a difficult time, the Buddha finally squeezed out these moths attached to the real Buddha Dao, as if the lice-stained robe was shaken off, and the solemn robe under it bloomed again.

At this time, the officials and legions of Jiangwan Prefecture have to face, no longer those who cling to Buddhism and suck blood, but the real Buddhist monks with firm beliefs and Buddhist hearts, the so-called dead camels are bigger than horses, and the original prosperous Jiangnan Buddhism has also introduced a considerable number of monks with true Buddhist beliefs to Buddhism, they are this tenacious force, and the rise and fall of Jiangnan Buddhism and survival are tied to them.

This stalemate did not change until the advent of a person. This person is something that Yifeng and Fire Monkey and others can't imagine, because this person is the genius disciple of the Holy Academy, the big red man in front of Cui Ming, and the most valued Confucian disciple, Zheng Wenqi!

He served as the first strategist who led the Zuo Longwu Legion, helping the Zuo Longwu Legion to achieve very considerable results in Jiangnan, his many means, the depth of the layout, and the speed of dispatch made the remnants of Jiangnan Buddhism and Taoism frustrated, and they were on the verge of collapse.

Therefore, after they heard about the battle situation in Yunzhou and Mizhou, Southwest Prefecture, they quickly reacted, the rescuer of Buddhism has been born, and the giant of Buddhism and Taoism who led the forces of Buddhism to defend and counterattack and achieved great success, Yifeng, is the rescuer of Buddhism, and the hope of saving Buddhism in Dawu Country!

Therefore, they sent people to ask for help overnight, hoping to save Jiangnan Buddhism from danger.

However, for Yifeng and others, this is only the first bad news.
