Chapter 415 Response

After An Ran came out of Gusu City, Fan Qinghui did not immediately transfer to Jiankang, but went to a small hidden temple in the nearby mountains.

Buddhism developed very rapidly during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially during the period of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty. Emperor Wu of Liang almost dedicated the entire Liang Kingdom to Buddhism, which caused Buddhism's power in the south to expand greatly.

Even in the Chen Dynasty, because the Demonic Sect colluded with the government to secretly suppress it, the momentum of Buddhism in the south slowly declined, but its potential power still cannot be underestimated.

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

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

In the main hall of the Buddhist temple, two old monks with old faces but solemn appearances sit cross-legged. They exude the unique aura of Buddhist monks. Being close to them has a magical effect of calming the mind.

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 and said: "We just won a battle. General Lei's confidence has been greatly inflated. He made a request to allocate land in the south and become a prince. I am afraid that the Sui Emperor will not agree!"

"It's really impossible to agree!"

The old monk shook his head and said: "Now that the Sui Dynasty is booming and the Sui Emperor's confidence is skyrocketing, how can he agree to the threat of a general in Nanchen?"

Another old monk asked: "Can't he see the situation clearly?"

"How can it be?"

Fan Qinghui smiled bitterly and said: "General Lei has a very thorough understanding of the situation, but it is precisely because of this that he dares to open his mouth. His men and horses are indeed more powerful!"

The two old monks nodded in unison. This is human nature. It will definitely not be easy to convince a powerful general like Lei Hu.

Fan Qinghui sat cross-legged on another futon and said with a wry smile: "The key person has already seen through the future path of the Song Dynasty in Lingnan, and strongly expressed that we should treat it based on the situation of the Song Dynasty in Lingnan. I really can't make the decision!"

"Amitabha, in order to save the people in the south from the suffering of war, we must persuade General Lei not to continue to confront the Sui army, but also to persuade him to cooperate with the Sui Dynasty!"

It was the old monk who spoke first. He spoke calmly and leisurely. There was no abnormality on his face, and his psychological quality was quite good.

"I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

Fan Qinghui frowned and said: "But this man did give a condition. As long as the court agrees to his request, the matter of the demon concubine Zhang Lihua and Prince Nanchen can be discussed, and even the jade can be handed over to the Sui Emperor!"

When they heard He's Bi, the eyes of the two old monks flashed, and one of them nodded and said: "What a great spirit, what a pity for such a rare treasure!"

The three of them fell silent for a moment, feeling a little helpless that He's Bi was still in the hands of the demon concubine Zhang Lihua.

It is said that on 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 top masters from Buddhism were hidden on one side, preparing to take advantage of the chaos to take away the ancient treasures and the Clan Bi.

Unexpectedly, a thunder tiger appeared on the way and rescued the demon concubine Zhang Lihua from the palace. Not only did he take away the imperial concubine Zhang Lihua, but he also took her with her.

The two old monks were also there at the time, and Fan Qinghui had been trying to find an opportunity to steal He's Bi by sneak attack, but unfortunately they never found an opportunity, and the result has been delayed until now.

"Did the actions of the two masters succeed?"

After taking a long breath to calm down the distracting thoughts in his mind, Fan Qinghui changed the subject and asked: "I haven't heard any commotion in Gusu temporarily!"

As he said that, a pair of beautiful eyes looked over with expectation.

The two old monks laughed bitterly in unison, and one of them shook his head and said: "There are many experts in Gusu, and the generals are extremely well protected. We have no chance to sneak in quietly!"

"That's it. It seems that we have to report the situation to King Jin!"

Fan Qinghui was not disappointed. The two old monks in front of him were the two great holy monks of southern Buddhism. Their martial arts had reached the top level. If they really focused on sneak attacks, the masters of Momen over there in Gusu would not be able to do anything.

Can't stop it.

It is a pity that the two holy monks have profound Buddhist teachings and upright conduct, and would never engage in such trivial behavior. Seeing that Gusu Xing was well protected, they did not harm the evildoers.

Of course, the two holy monks were also wary of Thunder Tiger's strength. Once they made too much noise, they could easily attract Thunder Tiger who was not far away. They were not sure that they could suppress Thunder Tiger, so when they realized that something was wrong,

Immediately leave after the violation.

The two holy monks are also at a high level, and they vaguely sense that something is wrong with the situation. Otherwise, the two holy monks are likely to be attacked by Thunder Tiger, and one of them may suffer a big loss.

The three senior Buddhist officials felt very helpless. They did not want to confront Lei Hu head-on. This guy was too strong and they did not want to provoke a powerful enemy on behalf of the Buddhist disciples.

But they also want to obtain some outstanding achievements. Fortunately, when Yang Jian rewards others for their merits in the future, they will compete for more resources for Buddhism. Naturally, they cannot fail to do their best when it comes to personal interests.

This time, they took action with a sense of luck, just hoping to achieve Buddhism's calculations and goals.

Fan Qinghui lobbied Lei Hu, of course with the intention of holding him back. The two southern Buddhist saints personally took action against the demon concubine Zhang Lihua. It would be best to get rid of her. If there was any chance to get rid of her, if they could

It would also be good to grab He's Bi.

Although Yang Jian was single-handedly promoted to the throne by Buddhism, it was a pity that this man was quite talented and strategist. When his power became stronger, he did not value Buddhism so much, and there was even a faint rejection and suppression.

Buddhism is naturally not a good sect. Now that the Sui Emperor is so powerful, they cannot fight head-on. But with the Heshi Bi in hand, they have the means to contain the Yang royal family. They can choose another candidate to replace them at any time in the name of the Lord of Destiny.

The He's Bi is naturally a very crucial and important prop.

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

Facing the powerful Sui Empire, although the power of Buddhism was extremely huge, it could not withstand the wrath of the Sui Emperor. Not long ago, Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism twice, which caused heavy losses to Buddhism.

The Heshi Bi fell into the hands of the Yang royal family, and there was no longer any possibility for Buddhism to get involved.

As expected, because the main force of the Sui army returned without success again and even suffered heavy losses, Jin Wang Yang Guang, as the supreme commander of the Chen Sui army, could not sit still and came directly to Jiankang to discuss the response with the frontline generals.

The plan is to resolve the Leihu Department’s troubles as soon as possible.

Otherwise, when the local forces in various parts of Nanchen saw that the Sui army was unable to deal with the Leihu tribe, they would definitely have doubts about the Sui army's combat capabilities, and then they would have daring ideas to create trouble for the Sui army to unify the south.

At this time, Yang Guang could be said to be wise and powerful, and he had a clear and accurate grasp of the situation. He knew that Chen Jun of Leihu Division had become the biggest obstacle in the eyes of the Sui army.

Just as Lei Hu had considered at the time, the 500,000 Sui troops were not finished. It was not difficult to completely defeat Lei Hu's Chen army. However, the number of Sui troops that might be lost made Yang Guang a little difficult.

If just defeating the Chen army of Thunder Tiger Division would consume more than 200,000 elite Sui troops, wouldn't it mean that more than half of the 500,000-strong army would be lost by the time the Sui army takes over the entire Nanchen territory?

Not only was Yang Guang himself dissatisfied with this result, Sui Emperor Yang Jian, who was in charge of Guanzhong, was even less dissatisfied.

If the main force of the Sui army was lost in the south, what could the Yang family do to deter the powerful families in the north and the Turks who had always been dishonest?

It's not that Yang Guang has never thought about recruiting Lei Hu, but the price he needs to pay is relatively high. It's difficult for him to make a decision at the moment, so he has to wait for the situation to change.

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

It’s almost as if someone gives me a pillow when I feel sleepy!

Although Lei Hu's request was quite bold, the strength of him and his men was worthy of the respect of the senior officials of the Sui army and even the Sui Emperor in Guanzhong.

If it was just in the name of surrender, but actually wanted to obtain a status equivalent to that of a powerful prince, neither Sui Emperor Yang Jian nor the ambitious Yang Guang would agree.

The Lingnan Song clan is the Lingnan Song clan. Although the Leihu tribe is extremely powerful, it has not yet become a fear to Yang Jian and Yang Guang, their father and son.

However, the exchange conditions that Lei Hu was prepared to offer in exchange made Yang Guang extremely tempted. He even sent a messenger immediately to deliver his secret message to the rear of Guanzhong as quickly as possible, but he could not make the decision.

NCM!

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

There is no way, who told Yang Jian to be unfair to the country, and the orthodox status of the Sui Dynasty was not very stable.

This is also the reason why Yang Jian would kill important generals in the court from time to time. He could replace him with the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and others could naturally replace him with the Sui Dynasty, because the legitimacy of the Sui Dynasty was not strong.

But if you have He's Bi in your hands, the situation will be different.

Regardless of the reaction of the wealthy family, at least after the common people know about it, they will gradually recognize and even take it for granted as to the orthodox status of the Sui Dynasty and the Yang family.

This was of great benefit to the Yang family in consolidating their rule. Yang Guang knew this very well, so he was overjoyed and sent the news back to Guanzhong. At the same time, he was thinking about how to negotiate with the Leihu Sui army to achieve the best results.

Not to mention, Lei Hu also asked Buddhism to send word that the follow-up treatment of the demon concubine Zhang Lihua and the prince could be properly arranged, which made Yang Guang even more satisfied.

Whether or not the Prince of Nanchen exists has a completely different effect on the resistance will of various places in Nanchen.

Yang Guang also thought that Lei Hu was going to trade the heads of the demon concubine Zhang Lihua of Nanchen and the prince for future glory and wealth. Although he was very ashamed of this guy's behavior, he had to say that this way he would save Sui.

The army is in a lot of trouble.

As for Lei Hu's request for self-reliance, Yang Guang felt that there was no harm in agreeing to it, and that it would not be too late to work on it slowly in the future. At the moment, it was most important to obtain national treasures such as He's Bi.

Apparently, Emperor Yang Jian of the Sui Dynasty who was in charge of Guanzhong also thought so. A secret order was soon sent to Jin King Yang Guang to take full charge of the negotiations. Lei Huji's request could be agreed, regardless of whether Prince Nanchen had to be sent to Guanzhong for resettlement.
