The great pine tree has been destroyed, and it cannot be more unorthodox.
The natural change of the Yuan Dynasty in the south was drawn up by the Prime Minister himself, and it was the first year of Kaiping!
Xuzhou.
A temple.
"I've met Master Xuxin!"
The great scholar Zhang Haoran put his hands together and greeted an old monk.
There was a Taoist next to him who was making tea under a plum blossom and was quite enjoying himself.
"Amitabha...the donor went to the south to lobby, and Lao Na chanted sutras and prayed for the donor day and night. Fortunately, with the blessing of Brahma God, he returned safely!"
Master Xuxin's face seemed to be shining with the light of compassion, and with a look of compassion, two lines of tears suddenly flowed out.
"Monk, why are you crying?"
The Taoist next to him suddenly laughed.
"Plum Blossom Practitioner, I cry not for the sake of my family, but for the whole world... The King of Liang and the Practitioner Xu Ling insist on going their own way, why should the people of the world suffer? The chaos will last for many years, and all living beings will be in ruins... Amitabha..."
Meihua layman also looked solemn: "Daliang took the public examination instead of the imperial examination and did not read the Four Books and Five Classics. This is the foundation of the famous religion... and the business tax was introduced. Haha, you and I both know that how can ordinary people have the capital to do business? Most of them are not landlords.
...Finally, the religious tax is even more unbelievable. Historically, only the king of the country has donated to Buddhism and Taoism, so how can anyone collect taxes in return? The monks and Taoists are not given the right to tax exemption... This is a deliberate suppression of the Brahma and Taoism families!"
The King of Liang levied a religious tax, which has been tested in the south, and is said to have aroused a lot of resistance.
However, Prime Minister Xu Lingzi did not make any concessions on this point. He directly took back the privileges of the temples and Taoist temples, and cut down the mountains and destroyed the temples if he disobeyed.
The names of Supreme Taoist Soldiers and Supreme Divine Thunder can already stop children from crying at night in the southern religious circles!
"Originally, it is the general trend that Dasong will be destroyed and Daliang will inherit the destiny... But it depends on man-made... King Liang and Xu Lingzi are so rebellious, there are still variables in the ownership of Jiuding in the world!"
Zhang Haoran said.
"Oh? What's the plan?" Meihua layman asked with a smile.
"Although the south is settled now, there are still a few dragons in the north, such as King Kang of Song Dynasty..." Zhang Haoran said: "When I left, I got the news that Xu Lingzi will lead an army to attack Xuzhou after the spring begins!"
"The King of Liang really doesn't want to stay in peace, has he already started preparing for the Northern Expedition?" Meihua layman murmured to himself.
"Xu Lingzi still underestimates me too much. If he humbly accepts advice, we will naturally eat the pot of juice to welcome Master Wang... But at this time, it is time for Xu Lingzi to see my literary character.
.”
Zhang Haoran said calmly: "Although Xuzhou is small, it has six prefectures. If we attack each city, how many people will die?"
In ancient times, defending a city was much simpler than attacking a city, and the requirements for the defenders were also lower.
As long as the will to resist is firm enough, it can bring huge damage to the siege party!
The Zhang family is a thousand-year-old family. Although it looks like heirlooms of poetry and calligraphy, in fact, the relationship in the officialdom is intricate. Xuzhou is its base, and its influence is deep-rooted in all aspects.
"Amitabha... I, the Brahma Sect, don't want to see the devil gain power, so we can call on good believers and monks to help..."
Master Xuxin put his hands together.
"In this case, we can also join..." Plum Blossom Taoist broke off a plum blossom and suddenly smiled: "If the city is defended, how many days and soldiers will it take King Liang? This delay will last four to five years, and hundreds of thousands of people will die.
, the dragon spirit will be broken... When the north is unified, the south will have less chance. Since ancient times, it has been easy to conquer the south with the north, and difficult to conquer the north with the south!"
"Our three religions worked together to make Diplodocus angry. It's his own fault!"
…
The spring breeze blows slowly and the river surges.
Bailongdu.
A naval force slowly approached the shore, and groups of soldiers came down.
Xiaoyu also jumped out of the boat and paddled with her paws by the river, as if she wanted to catch fish.
"Prime Minister, we have entered the territory of Xuzhou, which is now regarded as the territory of Shuanghua Prefecture. Ahead is Hemen County... The prefect of Shuanghua has known about our arrival for a long time. It is said that he held a banquet and promised to surrender, and then suddenly changed his face and killed those who wanted to surrender.
, this requires resolute resistance to the end.”
When Tang Xun heard the report from the sentry, his face was full of sorrow: "Now Hemen County has implemented martial law and blocked the city gates with huge rocks. It seems that they are determined to defend it! The county magistrate even killed his own wife and children, saying that he would do it for
The imperial court of Dasong is so loyal... This has also been praised by the big families and Buddhist monks in the city, who have donated money and people one after another!"
He is a general and knows the world situation better: "If every city is like this in the future, how many people will die on our side? It will also delay the opportunity to go north!"
"The three religions have joined forces? This is normal... Who asked me to offend all three families?"
Aaron shrugged his shoulders and smiled carelessly: "But the scholars' rebellion will not happen in three years... It is really a dream to try to resist our army in a hurry! Pass my military order, first mobilize 10,000 magic soldiers, follow me
Siege the city!"
…
Hemen County.
The county magistrate stood on the city wall, looking at the dark military formation below.
Although he had already realized that he was going to die, he still couldn't help but feel shaken when he looked at the awe-inspiring military power.
"Relics, form is emptiness, emptiness is form..."
Beside him, there were several monks with bulging temples, bald heads, and scars. They needed to supplement their nutrition when practicing martial arts. At first glance, these monks looked like they often drank alcohol and ate meat.
At this time, there was no sadness or joy on his face, and he was reciting scriptures.
People's hearts are changeable!
Seeing that the Liang army was powerful, no matter how much the Zhang family and Buddhism and Taoism tried to confuse them, no one might really be willing to die.
This group of monk soldiers is very crucial.
"Master... it's up to you to supervise the city defense."
The county magistrate gritted his teeth and said.
"Amitabha, we will let King Liang know that Buddha also has the wrathful eyes of Vajra... After this battle, we will be reborn in bliss, and Liang soldiers will fall into the Avici hell forever."
The leader of the monk soldiers put his hands together and shouted the Buddha's name.
Immediately, I heard the sound of war drums beating, and the sound shook the whole country!
"Siege the city!"
Aaron watched the waves of Liujia magic soldiers carrying shields and ladders as they rushed towards the city wall.
But on the city wall, arrows fell like raindrops.
There are also hot golden juice, boulders, rolling logs...
Bang!
A Liujia magic soldier was hit in the head by a falling rock, causing blood and water to splash everywhere.
A Liujia divine soldier next to him didn't even wipe the blood off his face, he directly grabbed the shield of his dead comrade and continued to move forward, forward!
"I've heard for a long time that Liang Bing is brave and not afraid of death. I thought it was an exaggeration... I didn't expect to see it today. It's true!"
I saw waves of Liang soldiers coming forward, fighting to the death, and the ordinary soldiers above the city gate were so frightened that their legs trembled.
The county magistrate couldn't help but sweat profusely.
If there were not monk soldiers to supervise the battle team, this battle would be dangerous!
At this time, even though the monk soldiers firmly believed in Brahma God, their hands and feet were secretly trembling when they saw this scene.
"Only when the devil comes to this world can he be so able to confuse people's hearts!"
The leader of the monk soldiers roared loudly and roared like a lion: "We are waiting for the Buddha to form the Vajra Formation to subdue demons!"
Suddenly, the first Liang soldier climbed up the ladder and was beaten down again within a few blows.
But behind him, there was a steady stream of soldiers, like ants...
