Among them, the eldest brother who takes the lead is none other than Dugu Cheng.
Dugu Enlightenment: "Sakyamuni pitied the people for their loss of life and mourned their addiction. Chen Jingdun exhorted good deeds to induce the virtuous, and established precepts and forbidding evil to punish sins. All of these actions helped to put an end to delusions and return to the truth and return to the original source. Buddhas and saints, Fu Yi used this as an argument.
Those who are not saints cannot do this, so I ask Your Majesty to punish them severely."
Li Zhiyun looked at Fu Yi.
Little brother, it's your turn to speak.
Fu Yi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the gift of courtesy comes from relatives, and finally it is given. This is the principle of loyalty and filial piety, and it is the conduct of a minister. But the Buddha left the city and became a monk, fled away from his father, fought against the emperor with a common man, and inherited the body.
But going against one's relatives. Dugu Cheng did not come from Kongsang, but followed the teachings of a fatherless person. I asked that those who are not filial have no relatives, so they are called Dugu Cheng."
Dugu Cheng's face was furious and he yelled: "How dare you, the thief, insult me!"
Kongsang has many meanings, here it refers to 'not born of parents, origin unknown'.
Fu Yi is saying that Dugu Cheng is not without parents, but he follows the fatherless Buddhism, which shows that he is a person who does not abide by filial piety, brotherhood, and loyalty.
What makes Dugu lose his composure is another meaning of this sentence.
Your Majesty, you see, Dugu Cheng is a man without a father and a king!
Li Zhiyun said coldly: "Dugu Shangshu, let Fu Qing finish."
"Yes." Dugu Cheng glared at Fu Yi fiercely.
On the matter of abolishing Buddhism, Fu Yi was quite well prepared. He talked about one principle after another, and Li Zhiyun nodded repeatedly.
In fact, after he ascended the throne, Buddhism became a bit of an eyesore.
The reason is very simple. A temple supports monks, does not work, and occupies fields, which is a waste of labor.
Can this be tolerated?
Frankly speaking, Li Zhiyun neither likes nor dislikes Buddhism, but now Buddhism is hindering the development of the Tang Dynasty.
This made him uncomfortable.
Finally, Li Zhiyun said: "What Fu Qing said makes sense. From today on, all monks, nuns, Taoists, women's crowns, etc. who practice diligently and observe the precepts will be ordered to live in large temples and be self-sufficient. If they do not practice diligently,
quit
Those who have problems in their actions should be ordered to retreat and return to their hometowns. The rules and regulations should be followed, and all laws and regulations should be followed. Any violation of the rules should be stopped. Three temples and two temples are left in the capital. The rest of the states in the world, each
Leave one of them alone and let the others go."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Fu Yi shouted.
Shuozhou, Niupiguan.
Ashina Kusituo mounted his horse, whipped his whip, and charged with his spear.
"Tang Jun is nothing more than that." He sneered coldly, his unruly eyes full of contempt for Tang Jun.
Boom!
The ground trembled, and Tang Qi was seen scattered, and a group of infantry came towards him with a long sword.
"That is?"
"It's the heavy plate armored infantry of the Tang Dynasty!" the soldier replied loudly.
Ashina Kusituo's eyes were slightly solemn. As the mortal enemy of the Tang army, Ashina Kusituo had naturally heard about the power of Tang people's plate armor.
However, he still wanted to give it a try.
"Kill with me!"
He galloped forward.
Yu Chigong, who was hiding under the heavy plate armor, was overjoyed when he saw Ashina Kusituo advancing instead of retreating.
"kill!"
Facing the heavy plate armored infantry, the cavalry charge, which the Turkic cavalry was proud of, was unable to function and was trapped in a whirlpool.
At this time, the Tang cavalry on the periphery had begun to form a formation and surrounded the Turkic cavalry's retreat on a large scale.
It was too late for Ashina Kusituo to realize that something was wrong, because Yuchi Gong wielded Mo Dao and directly cut off the hoofs of Ashina Kusituo's war horse.
Bang!
He fell heavily to the ground, followed by a heavy knight reflected in the boy's hole, as well as a fallen sword.
Poof!
Heads flying.
After killing Ashina Kusituo, the Tang army officially began to counterattack.
Tens of thousands of troops from both sides engaged in a bloody battle in the wilderness.
Three days later.
The Turkic troops temporarily retreated hundreds of miles.
The Tang army did not win this battle easily. It can only be said that they barely held on.
"Do you know what General Li's plan is?" Duan Zhixuan asked.
Several generals stood on the top of the city.
Yuchi said respectfully: "Li Jing asked me to guard Niubi Pass until Jie Li appears and give him the news."
"Then what?" Xie Shufang asked.
"I don't know." Yuchi Gong said.
"Then where is he now?" Duan Zhixuan asked again.
Yuchi said respectfully: "It should be at Huanghuadui."
"A pile of yellow flowers?"
At this moment, there was a loud sound of drum beating.
"Enemy attack, be on guard!"
Yuchi Gong raised his voice to the sky and roared loudly, and the sound of intensive and rapid drum beating resounded throughout the city.
The Tang troops took up their weapons one after another and stood guard at the critical moment.
Not far away, the flag of the Turkic King fluttered in the wind.
Under the banner, Jieli's face was gloomy but happy.
He defeated the Tang army in Huaihuang Town, but he knew that this could never be the entire main force of the Tang army.
Not long ago, news of reinforcements from the Tang Army appeared in Niupi Pass, which convinced him that the main force of the Tang Army was hidden here.
What made him unhappy was that Ashina Kusita died in battle.
But it doesn't matter, he is about to win, defeat the main force of the Tang army, and he will be able to control the overall situation.
As the Turkic troops launched their attack, Yuchi Gong also learned from his scouts that Jieli had already mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops.
He quickly sent someone to pass the news to Li Jing.
This battle was extremely bloody. Faced with Jie Li's frenzied attack, Niu Pi Guan simply couldn't withstand it.
Two days later, Yuchi Gong withdrew to Yunzhong.
Jieli rode a tall horse, looked at Yunzhong City, and said coldly: "Whoever can capture this city will be rewarded with three hundred slaves."
Under the heavy reward, the Turkic soldiers became even more crazy.
But this time, Yuchi Gong defended extra strongly because he had reinforcements!
"drive!"
"drink!"
"drive!"
The sound of horse hooves was extremely noisy, coming from afar.
"Khan, Tang troops appear in the south!"
"How many people are there?"
"No less than fifty thousand!"
Jie Li laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter how many baits you have and how many soldiers and horses you have, I've come all the way and you have to come to me!"
He has reasons to be happy.
After fighting against the Tang people so many times, he also learned something. He knew that whether it was the Tang Army on the Western Front or the Tang Army on the Eastern Front, they appeared there to draw in his strength.
As for him, he had stabilized the Western Front and defeated the Eastern Front.
In this way, if the troops are integrated all the way and go directly south, the Tang army's arrangement will collapse without a fight!
This is my art of war!
"Send the order for Simo to go and meet the enemy!"
"As you command!"
Ashina Simo led a group of soldiers and horses to kill the Tang army who came for support.
The reinforcements were led by general Cheng Yaojin.
"Turkish thief, die!"
After resting in the rear for such a long time, Cheng Yaojin felt that he was getting rusty. Now that he had seized this opportunity, how could he let it go?
The ambition to be trapped in a battle leads to death but not life.
Yuchi Gong, who was on the top of the city, saw the reinforcements arriving, and immediately ordered people to spread the news. The morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and they stubbornly repelled the Turkic attack.
The two sides fought fiercely for several hours, but in the end neither could do anything to the other.
Jie Li temporarily stopped his troops, while Cheng Yaojin took advantage of the situation and stationed himself outside the city, forming an angle with Yunzhong to guard against the Turks' troops.
That night, Jieli sent an army to attack Cheng Yaojin's camp at night.
But Cheng Yaojin didn't let him succeed.
"Hey, I know that Jie Li is not a good bird. Thanks to General Li for reminding him, otherwise he would have been tricked. My sons, follow me and kill the enemy!"
In the night, as the Tang army's ferocious tigers came out of the gate, the Turkic attack strategy failed. The thousands of Turkic soldiers and horses who attacked the Tang army's camp were all beheaded by Cheng Yaojin.
After Jie Li learned the news, he was not very angry, but secretly cursed the cunning Tang people.
In his view, this war ultimately depends on the outcome on the frontal battlefield.
As long as he wins the frontal battlefield, he wins.
Once the Tang army was defeated this time, he could take advantage of the situation and regain everything he lost.
