Chapter 442 More than ten eminent monks came together to meet Yang Juncheng
Chapter 442
Yang Qian, the handsome-faced son of destiny, was feeling worried at this moment. Tens of thousands of thieves and soldiers fled away, but they did not say that they were completely broken into pieces, and everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.
Because most of the thieves who were able to find opportunities to scatter on that day were young and strong among the thieves.
And there are quite a few of them, including rebels from all walks of life in Shandong and northern Jianghuai who were conquered and suppressed by the court.
After being defeated, they dispersed to the south of the Yangtze River, and finally gathered the bandits from other places around Liu Yuanjin.
Now, although they were frightened and did not dare to make a big splash, Yang Qian still received official documents from surrounding counties.
Sitting next to Yang Qian, Changsun Wuji, who has now become Yang Qian's personal attendant and adviser, was very happy to see this.
"These guys, one or two ghosts, are very clever. What they are talking about are the bandits who escaped after our battle at Yanlingzha."
"They have gone to their counties to cause trouble. Let me take a look at Zhongli County in the northwest and Lujiang County in the east.
In the south are Piling County, Wu County, Danyang County, Liyang County, Yuhang County, Xuancheng County and Kuaiji County."
"A total of nine county governors and fifty-seven county magistrates have sent official documents to you, Yang Juncheng."
"Moreover, there are as many as seven or eight thousand bandits in various places, and as few as two or three thousand. To sum it up, I'm afraid there won't be enough bandits if there aren't even a hundred thousand bandits..."
The second brother Qin also shook his head frequently and shouted angrily. "These bastards just want to blame the banditry in their various places on Thief Liu."
"Or should be said, he pushed it on Yang." Yang Qian rubbed his forehead, feeling quite helpless.
Cheng Yaojin stroked his thick beard like a steel needle and groaned angrily.
"They are shirking their responsibilities. We finally did something like Liu Yuanjin and other traitors, but the result was not good. The counties sat on the mountain and watched the tigers fight, but now they are looking for trouble."
"How about we just do nothing and wipe out all these counties."
"..." Yang Qian's whole body is in bad shape. God damned those counties, but I'm still a loyal minister of the Sui Dynasty. Well, at least for now, it's okay?
"If you keep talking nonsense, get out. This is a meeting hall, not a den of thieves." Brother Qin also glared at this bastard with a dark face.
"However, they didn't just complain. They also sent us a lot of supplies and asked us to quickly mobilize troops to eliminate the banditry."
"How to suppress this? Nine counties, more than fifty counties, are thousands of miles away from north to south, from east to west. Don't we have to divide the less than 30,000 soldiers and horses into more than fifty parts?
"
The group of people looked at the map marked with banditry, and were really speechless.

"Jun Cheng, the abbot of Qiling Temple and more than ten eminent monks from various places in the south of the Yangtze River have come to pay homage to Jun Cheng. Do you want to see me or not?"
"Aren't they doing rituals for Yuwen Liu these past two days?" Yang Qian frowned, but still got up and walked out of the hall.
Then I saw Master Dao'an, the abbot of Qiling Temple, leading a group of old monks, mostly in their fifties, sixties, or even seventies or eighties, standing outside the yamen waiting quietly.
A large number of people had already gathered around to worship and serve the Buddha, and they all came to pay homage to these eminent monks, who were very famous and prestigious in the Jiangnan area.
"I've seen Yang Juncheng..." Yang Qian walked out quickly, led by the abbot of Qiling Temple. Master Dao'an, who was over eighty years old and had a snow-white eyebrows, was the first to salute.
Dozens of old monks behind him also came to greet him.
"Masters, please excuse yourself. There is no need to be like this. Please be polite." Yang Qian quickly returned the gift and shouted loudly.
Under Yang Qian's warm invitation, more than ten eminent monks and virtuous men with great reputations in Jiangnan entered the Yamen.
"Lao Na and others have completed the rituals for Yuwen Liushou, but these days, while talking with colleagues, I heard that all the counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River are restless."
"There are rogue thieves spreading everywhere, either wreaking havoc in places, or gathering together to commit robberies, disturbing the people of counties and counties south of the Yangtze River."
Yang Qian sat upright and listened to the group of old monks complaining one after another. What they said was that the people in Jiangnan could not bear the suffering of thieves in the past two years.
All industries have withered, and the people are in dire straits. Now, the Liu thief has been eliminated, which is really a great event for the whole Jiangnan.
However, although the main anti-bandit forces have been eliminated, small groups of bandits are still active in various places since Liu Yuanjin raised his army.
The number of people is small, but it cannot be underestimated. In addition, tens of thousands of bandits are now scattered, which puts huge pressure on the counties.
Therefore, these old monks also came together to visit Yang Qian in line with their responsibilities as people of the Sui Dynasty.
I hope that Yang Juncheng, who wiped out the Liu thieves, can continue his efforts to appease Jiangnan.
Looking at these serious and talkative old monks, Yang Qian really didn't understand why these outsiders would want to come looking for him.
Generally speaking, even if it is officials from various counties and counties, it is more consistent with common sense than a group of monks coming to find you.
"I don't know why Yang Juncheng looks suspicious. Is there something he wants to ask?"
Master Daoan, who was sitting next to Yang Qian, also noticed Yang Qian's expression.
"The masters can be so considerate of the people of Jiangnan and are willing to personally explain it to me. It is really beyond my expectation."
"Actually, speaking of it, it's because you, Yang Juncheng, have a predestined relationship with our Buddha. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come here."
"???" Yang Qian was completely confused. I have a destiny with Buddha, why don't I know it?
"Does Mr. Yang Junchen still remember Master Jizang talking to you about Buddhism on the canal outside Dongdu City in the sixth year of Daye?"
"What's going on? Master Ji Zang is truly an eminent monk." Yang Qian nodded and praised Master Ji Zang in front of a group of monks.
"Master Jizang is my master..." Master Zhikai, the abbot of Jiaxiang Temple next to him, smiled and said politely to Yang Qianyi.
"On that day, my master heard Yang Juncheng's verses and had an opportunity for enlightenment. Now, in Riyan Temple, my master has been able to complete the San Lun commentaries and founded the San Lun Sect."
"Among them, there is also the contribution of Yang Juncheng. My master repeatedly wrote about it in letters and expressed many emotions. If Juncheng could enter Buddhism, he would be a great virtue..."

Yang Qian felt, well... the hidden murderous aura behind him made Yang Qian feel on pins and needles.
That was the murderous intent coming from Li Xiuning, the third wife, who had been engaged to him for more than two years, but still couldn't hold a wedding ceremony.
"Master, what you said is serious. I was just speaking out of my own feelings. Buddhism and I are destined to have no connection with each other. It is impossible for me to join a Samana in this life."
Yang Qian's decisive answer disappointed all the monks.
However, the murderous aura behind him gradually disappeared, and the jade-faced gentleman Yang Xiaoqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Changsun Wuji, who was beside him, took the lead and started talking.
"Actually, it's great that you masters have such an idea. Please rest assured, masters. The county magistrate is also very worried about the rising number of thieves in the counties south of the Yangtze River."
"In the past few days, the common people have been harassed by thieves, and they have trouble sleeping and eating, and they can't sleep at night..."
"Just before the masters arrived, our county magistrate was still worried about this matter and was discussing with us how to deal with it."
