"Quick, should you be fleeing from Da Song again?"

"It's miserable, the Central Plains is in a mess, it's better for us to take care of it."

"Who says it's not, looking at the world, everywhere, our Dali country has been peaceful and peaceful for hundreds of years, and has enjoyed a peaceful and prosperous world. ”

"Amitabha! are all blessed by the Buddha and Bodhisattva. ”

"Exactly, it's better for us to go to the Big Buddha Temple to worship now, by the way, don't forget to bring enough incense money, so as not to blame the Buddha." ”

"But my family doesn't have much money, forget it, for the blessing of the Buddha, even if you don't eat or drink, I admit it. ”

"By the way, without the Buddha, how can we have a peaceful life. ”

......

Listening to the conversation between the two, Sikong Zhan shook his head speechlessly, it is not the credit of the gods and Buddhas to be able to live a peaceful life for hundreds of years.

About the Condor trilogy, even if it is related history, he can say that he knows a lot, who made the history on which the three novels are based, in order to figure out what is behind it, he put a lot of effort into it.

In that year, at the instigation of Yang Guozhong, Tang Xuanzong sent Yang Guozhong's confidant Xian Yu Zhongtong to lead 100,000 elite soldiers across the Lushui River and fight fiercely with the Ge Luo Feng Department in Baiyu City.

As a result, the whole army fell, and there were countless people who died in Lushui, and Ge Luofeng collected the corpses of the Tang army, gathered and sealed the soil to form a high mound, and built a Beijing view, which was shaped like a mountain of corpses.

After that, Yang Guozhong covered up his defeat, still recounted his military exploits, two years later, once again gathered 100,000 elite soldiers in the world, led by Li Mi to conquer the Southern Zhao.

Due to the hot weather at that time, it was extremely difficult to supply the army, and the people and horses were sleepy along the way. And Ge Luofeng lured the enemy to go deeper, waited for work, and defeated the Tang army in a battle on the bank of the Xi'er River, and the main general Li Mi was captured and killed, and the army was lost.

After that, the alliance between Nanzhao and Tubo continued to harass the border of the Tang Dynasty, which became a major "trauma" in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty.

Whoever lifts up 200,000 people, and throws them to death, will not return them.

The two wars cost the Tang Dynasty 200,000 elite soldiers. Five years later, An Lushan led 150,000 men from Fanyang to easily capture Luoyang, Chang'an, bringing the Tang Dynasty into decline.

This is the Anshi Rebellion that occurred in the fourteenth year of Tianbao of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, also known as the disaster of Tianbao.

Five years later, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, established the Song Dynasty, and pacified Houshu for another five years. At that time, a minister presented a map of Dali to Zhao Kuangyin, and asked to take advantage of the victory to march and destroy Dali.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin Liguo's territory map used a jade axe to draw the place west of the Dadu River, and said meaningfully: "In addition, I don't have it." ”

Sikong Zhan flipped through the "Continuation of Capital Governance Tongjian", and there was a statement in the book: "The emperor (Song Taizu) learned that the disaster of Tang Tianbao originated in Nanzhao, and painted the west of the Dadu River with a jade axe and said: "In addition, I don't have it." Zhao Kuangyin was reluctant to send troops because he "took history as a mirror".

In its heyday, the previous dynasty could not conquer the land of Nanzhao with 200,000 people, not to mention that it was only five years after its founding, and only 60,000 people could mobilize the Great Song Dynasty?

What's more, at this time, the founding of Dali has been about to complete 30 years, and Emperor Duan Siping has worked hard to govern Dali, and Dali's national strength is very strong. Counting from the Nanzhao, Dali has been established for more than 200 years, and its deep-rooted roots are not comparable to other countries at that time.

In addition, for the army of the Great Song Dynasty, the inconvenience of Dali's land and wind, the depression, the injury of the plague, and the lack of pay are obviously the so-called "dead land" and "Jedi" by the soldiers.

Also, Zhao Kuangyin has just pacified Houshu, but there are still more than 100,000 people who have not been disarmed, and it is very likely that there will be turmoil. It turned out that there was indeed a rebellion in Houshu after that, and it lasted for several years.

In addition, entering the Dali Kingdom is a risky move, if you win by luck, you will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and if you lose, the threat is that he Zhao Kuangyin has just seized the throne by force, and the Northern Song Dynasty regime that is still very immature.

Prior to this, Zhao Kuangyin had set the national strategy of "first south and then north, first easy and then difficult" and "distant and close attack", Dali was located in the southwest corner, far away from the Central Plains, and was not completely in line with the big strategy.

Later, Taizong Zhao Guangyi eliminated the Northern Han Dynasty, and basically completed the "unification" except for the sixteen states of Yanyun, and did not use troops against Yunnan.

The successive emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty also followed Zhao Kuangyin's "ancestral teachings" and adopted the policy of "guarding the inside and the outside", and maintained harmonious diplomatic relations with the Duan clan of Dali.

Since then, the army of the Great Song Dynasty has never entered the territory of Dali, and the Duan clan of Dali has been able to rule for more than 300 years.

During this period, Duan Yu, the grandfather of a lamp, had sent envoys to pay tribute, and Song Huizong canonized Duan Yu as the king of Dali in Yunnan, and after that, Dali became a vassal state of the Southern Song Dynasty.

To sort it out, the tranquility of Dali has nothing to do with the gods and Buddhas, and it is nothing more than the result of various subjective and objective, external and internal factors, and so on.

Sikong Zhan privately believes that the safe existence of Dali may be inseparable from its long-term unchanged policy. Since its establishment, the Dali State has basically adopted an internal policy, and there is no ambition to expand outward, and there is no threat to the Great Song Dynasty at all.

If the heart of Dali is very heavy, even if it is located in a remote area, the mountains are dangerous and the roads are difficult, the miasma is rampant, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Great Song Dynasty will not let go of Dali after all.

Why can the emperors of Dali State live their own good lives with peace of mind?

Sikong Zhan's Jialan and Lan Ruo, big and small, have proven everything, and only Buddhism is the root of all this.

Believing in Buddhism, although it can bring peace, is easy to lose its blood, and this is true for people, and it is also unchanged for the country.

Dali is a Buddhist country, the emperor all believe in Buddhism, and the idea of governing the country with Buddhism is also fully reflected in national politics.

From the selection of officials, sometimes directly select literate monks can be two, in the middle and late period of the Dali Kingdom also imitated the Central Plains Dynasty to implement the opening of the department, and the object is also some of the monks among the Confucian scholars, the standard is "through the interpretation of Confucianism", that is, familiar with the doctrine of Buddhism and familiar with the four books and five classics, these people are the unique "Confucian" class of Dali.

In addition, the whole country worships monks and respects Buddha, and senior monks participate in decision-making for major events in the country, and the royal temple Tianlong Temple is the best of the best.

Dali was founded by Buddha, ruled by Buddha, and all its subjects believed in Buddhism.

"The people of this state are close to Tianzhu in the west, and their customs are still floating and slaughtering. There is no rich or poor family, there are Buddhist halls, people are not old and strong, and their hands are not released. ”

In their ideology, the country's disasters and blessings are all related to the emperors of the current dynasty, and there is a causal relationship with what they did in their past and present lives. Once there is a sign of some kind of disaster in the country, the emperor is riddled with obstacles, and only by becoming a monk can he eliminate the disaster and avoid difficulties.

The emperors of Dali are also wonderful, they don't love the dragon chair and love the green lantern, they think that they can be the king and have great blessings, and they can learn Buddhism and have great good roots, but they are very willing. Moreover, from the monarch to the common people, they are all proud to be monks, and the social atmosphere is like this.

According to Sikong Zhan's understanding, in the Duan clan of Dali, there are not a few emperors who have become monks, except for Emperor Duan Siying, who was forced to abdicate, the others are all voluntarily abandoning Jiangshan Sheji and leaving home. Of course, there were many children of the Duan royal family who also became monks.

This phenomenon is unique in history, Dali Duan's, which has become a unique scenery in the long river of history.

A poem in my memory can reflect these very well:

Wutai Peak under the dragon Xingdi, Gaoyang Zhuan dwelling as a god;

Taizu was brave enough to create a foundation, and he raised troops through the sea to receive blessings.

Guozuo has been inherited for 300 years, and the ten emperors have been shaved into monks.

After the torch of Changbei Hongwu, no one sat down to continue the Zen lamp.
