Fu Song

Chapter 425 There Are Several Brushes
"Amitabha!"

Hearing the resounding Buddha's chant at the door, Gao Yingde couldn't help laughing, and looked up at Huiyuan's compassionate appearance outside the door and the helpless head of the guard beside him.

Huiyuan is a guest of the Xiangguo Mansion, even in the entire Shanchan Mansion, he is also a well-known eminent monk. To the Dali people who believe in Buddhism in the whole country, Huiyuan is like the reincarnation of the Buddha, so the head of the guard is naturally Not daring to stop him roughly, she let him go all the way outside Gao Yingde's study.

"Master, please come in!" Gao Yingde stood up and smiled at Huiyuan.

As if he had received an amnesty, the chief guard hurriedly bowed his head and saluted before leaving in a hurry.

Speaking of which, he has neglected his duty, and if Xiangguo pursues it, he really has nothing to say.

"Master, are you trying to persuade me not to go to war again?" Gao Yingde invited Huiyuan to sit down, "I don't know what's new today?"

"Xiangguo, I just heard the news that the Song Dynasty government has established a new Guizhou Road, and Xiao Cheng has become the appeasement envoy of Guizhou Road. Therefore, for the sake of Xiangguo, Huiyuan wants to ask Xiangguo to stop fighting and build a good relationship between the two countries."

"Why is it for me?"

Huiyuan said seriously: "Xiangguo, the monk came from there. Xiao Cheng is a formidable character, and his troops are also brave and good at fighting. Now that he has been officially granted by the imperial court, he can expand his strength in a legitimate way. Xiangguo If you start a dispute arbitrarily, I'm afraid there will be no victory, and the common people will suffer, and the people will suffer!"

Gao Yingde laughed loudly: "Although the Great Monk has great knowledge, he is only a monk after all. You don't know what I'm thinking. If it was possible to stop fighting before, it's really impossible now."

"Xiangguo, since the Song court has formally granted Xiao Cheng the Guizhou Road as its territory, then Xiangguo, if you attack Guizhou Road, it will be tantamount to starting a war with Song State. Can Xiangguo think clearly about this?"

"Why didn't you think clearly?" Gao Yingde said lightly: "However, Xiao Cheng and the imperial court are in peace. If I really hit Guizhou Road, will the Song court take care of it? Even if they want to take care of it, do they have the ability now? Whether it is In the eyes of the imperial court, Xiaoding in the northwest or Yeluzhen in Nanjing Road are far more threatening than our small Dali country, maybe there are still people who are happy because I went to clean up Xiao Cheng?"

"But Xiangguo, have you ever thought about what if you lose?" The great monk raised his head and said seriously: "The monk has been in Shanchan Mansion for a while, and he knows something more or less. Xiangguo, be careful. , once you lose, the good situation will be ruined! No matter whether it is His Majesty or those few, I am afraid that they will take advantage of the situation and the political situation in Dali will definitely make waves again!"

Gao Yingde smiled: "Why is the great monk suddenly thinking of me? In the past few months, you and them have been fighting fiercely. I thought the great monk would definitely be on their side?"

"Amituofo!" The great monk said righteously and solemnly: "The great monk does not stand on any side. He just thinks that Dali is now under the governance of the prime minister. , all of this will inevitably become a moon in the mirror, a flower in the water, and if Xiangguo loses for a while, the situation will be even more serious. Xiangguo, sometimes internal strife is more terrifying than foreign enemies! I am really worried that Xiangguo will lose power at that time, To be honest, Dali really can't find a more suitable candidate for Xiangguo than you, Xiangguo."

Gao Yingde looked at the great monk meaningfully and said: "It seems that the great monk is really thinking about me. But those few clowns can't make any big waves. They think they are doing things secretly, but they don't know that everything is hidden. It's under my control."

Huiyuan's heart skipped a beat, looking at Gao Yingde, his face changed slightly.

Gao Yingde said with a smile: "If the great monk doesn't say these words today, the day I send troops will be the day when the great monk will be imprisoned. I don't care about them, but I have to worry about your appeal, great monk! "

Huiyuan took a deep breath: "It turns out that beside them, there is your eyeliner, Xiangguo! It's ridiculous, it's extremely ridiculous!"

"It's really ridiculous!" Gao Yingde said: "Great Monk, now that we have spoken, don't you think it would be better for Dali if I go further? If I really take this step, the Great Monk will help me?"

"Absolutely not!" The monk raised his head and said seriously: "The monk pities the common people, but he will never help Xiangguo to plot against you!"

hum!

Gao Yingde sneered a few times: "That's you, the great monk. If someone else said this to me, you would lose your head immediately. Come on!"

Huiyuan's expression changed, is this going to turn his back on him?

The head of the guard who ran away earlier appeared at the door: "Go, tell General Gao Yingfeng, arrest him!"

"Who does Xiangguo want to arrest?"

Gao Yingde smiled and said a few names, Huiyuan sighed and shook his head again and again.

These few people are all the emperor's confidantes and several other important figures in Shanchan's mansion. Once they are arrested, most of the power of the royalist faction will be lost immediately.

"Xiangguo, once you arrest these people, your goal is Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it!" The great monk wanted to work harder.

"I'm about to mobilize all forces to launch a war against Xiao Cheng. At this time, noise cannot be tolerated. Moreover, once I leave the Shanchan Mansion, they will definitely make trouble. Naturally, they must be arrested first. The day when the troops are dispatched, they may not be able to continue. Take them to sacrifice the flag." Gao Yingde said nonchalantly.

"Is Xiangguo still determined to fight?" Huiyuan's face was full of disappointment.

"I have to fight!" Gao Yingde sat down slowly, and said: "As the great monk said, Xiao Cheng is an unborn talent. I also sent people to investigate his past repeatedly. After he arrived in the southwest , I have always cared about every move. If I don’t fight now, I’m afraid I won’t have to fight in the future!”

"Xiangguo, what does this mean?"

Gao Yingde said: "The monk thinks that Xiao Cheng is someone who is willing to live in peace with us in Dali?"

"The monk and this Xiao Cheng are just acquaintances, so I really don't know much about it!"

"This man is extremely sophisticated, with sophisticated means, every step of the way, and occasionally makes extraordinary moves. He never does anything aimless. Ordinary people take one step and see three steps. Step!" Gao Yingde said: "This person has only been in the southwest for three years, and he has kneaded together the scattered Qianzhou and dozens of Jizhou prefectures to form a whole. Monk, these Jimi prefectures in the past, It can be regarded as a buffer zone between us and Da Song, but now, does this buffer still exist?"

Huiyuan shook his head.

"It doesn't exist!" Gao Yingde said: "Then what will Xiao Cheng do next? He will definitely point his sword at Dali. Now is when he is very weak. This son's ability, I am afraid that when we Dali face him, the outcome will be uncertain. How can I just sit back and watch this threat grow step by step and become a worry in my heart?"

"Dali is also a big country, Xiao Cheng is just a courtier of the Song Dynasty, without the emperor's will, does this person really dare to go to war against Dali?" Hui Yuan said.

"He destroyed the Luo Palace, the Luo Family's ghost kingdom, did he ever have the emperor's order?" Gao Yingde sneered: "This man is ambitious and focused on expanding his own strength. In the future, he will definitely become the gravedigger of the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid Da Song will still thank me. At that time, when I destroy Xiao Cheng, I will only want Luoshi Kingdom, Luo Dianguo and other places, and other places will still be returned to Da Song. If I want to come to Da Song Dynasty, I will never They fell out with me because of this matter. Because they also want Xiao Cheng to die, right? Everything is back to the original point, it’s good for Da Song and us Dali.”

"Has Xiangguo sent someone to Bianliang?"

"Of course!" Gao Yingde said as a matter of course. "If we can reach an understanding with Great Song Chaotang, and even cooperate in some aspects, wouldn't it be a matter of mutual benefit."

"This is also to seek support for Xiangguo's move to replace the Duan family after the victory? I'm afraid that on this point, the whole Song Dynasty will never agree." The monk disagreed: "If the officials of the Song Dynasty acquiesced to your move , doesn’t it mean that someone can do the same thing to him in the future?”

"Excessive asking price, pay back the money on the spot!" Gao Yingde looked like a philistine businessman, and said with a smile: "I didn't plan to have everything go well!"

"Then there is only one thing left now, to win on the battlefield!" The great monk sighed: "After the spring plowing, is there going to be a war?"

"If we really want to send troops on a large scale, I'm afraid it won't be until after autumn, but after the spring plowing, small-scale wars will inevitably begin!" Gao Yingde said. "Great monk, I'm not going to hide it from you, but now I am a strong soldier and a strong horse."

"A few days ago, I saw people from the Shimen tribe go to Tianlong Temple to offer incense." Hui Yuan said, "Could it be that Xiangguo has already won the support of the three barbarian tribes in Syria!"

"The monk is well-informed!" Gao Yingde laughed loudly: "The Three Barbarians of Xuzhou have always been close to me in Dali, and have always wanted to join me in Dali, but they also exist as a buffer zone for our current Song Dynasty. If we really let them join Dali, I'm afraid Da Song will turn against me, but this time it's different, after defeating Xiao Cheng, Dali will formally accept them as a part of my Dali."

"It's reasonable, Song Dynasty is weak now, everyone wants to take a bite out of them, Gao Xiangguo, why aren't you like this?" The great monk nodded and said: "From Xiangguo's tone, the reinforcements may not be the only ones, right?"

"The other one is from Tubo!" Gao Yingde nodded and said, "It's also related to the Xiao family. The Tubo general Yuzang Huama under Xiao Ding's command and Zhou Huan, a commanding general of the Tieyaozi Army, were chasing after him in the Qingtang area. Blind drug Mu Zhan, some of them retreated to Dali, and this time they became my pawns. Eat what I have and use what I have to live in, so naturally they have to work for me. Of course, when they beat the Xiao family, they It’s also very exciting.”

The great monk nodded: "That being the case, the great monk helped Xiangguo achieve success immediately, and he was able to quickly end the war, so as not to drag on for a long time, and the people were dying. I think that once the front line is successful, when Xiangguo returns to Shanchan Mansion, Tianlong Temple There is going to be another great monk here."

"Is the great monk trying to intercede with His Majesty? Well, as long as he doesn't mess around, so what if we let him go to Tianlong Temple to read scriptures?" Gao Yingde said.

Walking out of the gate of Xiangguo Mansion and looking back at the majestic and majestic gate of Xiangguo Mansion, Hui Yuan shook his head involuntarily. Sure enough, no one who can sit in this seat is an idiot.No matter how Xiao Cheng concealed his desire to get Dali, he still accurately predicted his next goal.

Therefore, people have to act first.

He actually won over the three barbarian tribes in Syria first!

However, it is not surprising to think about the historical origins of the three barbarians in Syria and those barbarians in Dongchuan County, Dali.

The most surprising thing is that there are Tubo soldiers and horses!
The Tubo army that was able to escape all the way from Qingtang to Dali is afraid that there will be no weak ones.

The weak have been eliminated naturally in the process of fleeing all the way.

Fortunately, I took this trip today and got this information, otherwise Xiao Cheng would suffer a big loss if he was caught off guard.

Xiao Cheng might have guessed that the opponent would send troops, but he would never have imagined that there were so many unexpected characters in the right pocket.

After the spring plowing, the war will start, and the time is very short.

With a flick of his sleeves, the great monk turned around and walked towards Tianlong Temple. There was a high-status ambush beside Dong, Wang, Shen, or the emperor. The superficial royalist was actually an accomplice of Gao Yingde. This guy must be dug out, otherwise what will happen in the future? Nothing can be done.

Thanks for taking this trip today!

The monk couldn't help being lucky in his heart, if he didn't take this trip and have a heart-to-heart talk with Gao Yingde, he might be the only one who was arrested today!

The monk suddenly stopped in his tracks. He saw prison cars passing by one after another on the street. The person locked in the prison car was a familiar face.

At this moment, they were full of despair, only showing one head outside the prison car, and behind the prison car, there were groups of men, women and children with their hands tied. A day ago, they were nobles in Dali. , After one day, they became prisoners.The soldiers escorting them yelled fiercely, and from time to time they whipped down, lashing these former nobles heavily.

Seeing a girl who was no more than four or five years old howling loudly, the great monk felt a little sour, flicked his sleeves, covered his face and left.

On the street, many people recognized the great monk, and when they saw his figure, they all bowed to him.

Reciting the Buddha's name in his mouth, the great monk left in a hurry.

Not seeing the joys and sorrows in the world, life and death parting, it is also in line with his personality as an eminent monk.

More than ten days later, at the yamen of the Guiyang appeasement envoy, Xiao Cheng listened to Wu Ke's report, his face was full of astonishment.

Sure enough, you still underestimated the heroes of the world?

I feel so caught off guard!

He turned to look at the map.

Since this is the case, the breakthrough point Gao Yingde chose must be in Bijie!
Gao Yingxiang's department in Liupanshui and the Sanman tribe in Xuzhou are really good plans.

"We have to transfer troops to Bijie!" Wu Ke said.

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "No, in this way, I'm afraid that the great monk will really go to the prison cell, so let's hand it over to Wang Zhu first, that kid is a ruthless person!"
