The old lieutenant looked at the two people who looked calm and even seemed to be getting along harmoniously, and his mind seemed to be a little confused.
In the eyes of everyone outside, the first thing Xiao Cheng must do after coming back to power is to deal with Wang Xiao. Even if the current situation forces him to kill him immediately, he will inevitably be humiliated many times to repay the original
The humiliation of pretending to be stupid.
But the way the two of them get along now is so different from what they imagined!
The old lieutenant opened his mouth to ask the reason, but when the words reached his mouth, he paused again. He shook his head and said instead:
"Your Majesty asked the Grand Master to come with you just to appease the morale of the border troops?"
Xiao Cheng nodded, stood up and said:
"I want to go to the Yongzhou camp in person, accompanied by the Grand Master. The border army will not cause any big trouble!"
When the old lieutenant heard this, his eyes wrinkled and he shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed in the long term! This Tong Tianhua is quite good at using deceitful words to attack people's hearts. I don't know how many frontier generals he has secretly persuaded. Even if the Grand Master goes there, I'm afraid it's not safe enough! Besides, I'm afraid it's not safe enough!
It is too dangerous for Your Majesty to enter the Yongzhou camp in person and is not advisable!"
Wang Xiao single-handedly created the frontier army and led the frontier army to conquer the north and south with few defeats. All generals, big and small, were promoted by him. His prestige among the frontier army was truly unparalleled.
However, today is different from the past.
The frontier troops did not listen to orders before because they were worried about being liquidated by Xiao Cheng.
But now, under the instigation of Tong Tianhua, who can be regarded as a knight from all over the world, who can guarantee that these generals do not have any alien intentions!
If Xiao Cheng went there in person, wouldn't he be following the wishes of some people? If something unexpected happened, everything would be irreversible!
Hearing the old lieutenant's worried words, Xiao Cheng's eyes moved, he looked up at the old lieutenant and said seriously:
"Lieutenant, do you know something about the person behind this?"
Hearing this, the old lieutenant was silent for a moment, then nodded, looked at Wang Xiao, and said:
"The reason why Emperor Dezong kept re-appointing and promoting you back then was because he wanted you to curb the power of Buddhism!"
Emperor Dezong, Xiao Cheng’s cheap grandfather.
The reason why Wang Xiao was able to quickly take control of the government despite his young age and insufficient qualifications was because Emperor Dezong wanted to use his ability to check and balance the Buddhist forces.
When Wang Xiao heard this, he sighed softly and said:
"Emperor Dezong's original intention was that I would fight with Buddhism, and then the royal family would mediate the balance. But he didn't expect that in the following ten years, Buddhism would always stay away from me when facing me, so that I could successfully evade the imperial power. Now that I think about it,
, I’m afraid that the Buddhists at that time would have other ideas!”
When the old lieutenant heard this, his face could not help but darken.
At such an old age, he has seen too many things in his life! He has already suspected some things in his mind.
When the situation in the DPRK changed and Xiao Chengzhong took power, the border troops immediately received the news. Their morale was unstable and they were in panic all day long. The Xia Kingdom and the Li Dynasty also received the news almost immediately, thus harassing the Yun Kingdom.
If there was no collusion among them, the old Taiwei himself would not believe it!
The old lieutenant's expression changed, and finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"This Buddhist monk has been rooted in the Yun Kingdom for six hundred years. Every year, the court is responsible for repairing and worshiping Buddhist temples, which costs a huge sum of money. Not to mention, the monks also accumulate slaves, do not pay taxes, and accept the people's votes.
Donate the land. This Buddhism has become a piece of carrion on the body of my country, Yun. I can’t survive without cutting it off!”
Xiao Cheng heard this and sneered:
"I naturally know that Buddhism has reached the point where it can no longer move! It's just that Buddhism has too much influence among the people, and it needs to reduce its influence first, and then take advantage of it... And the reason why I personally conquered Buddhism is to weaken Buddhism
Prepare for influence. Secondly, hehe, I also want to see if this Buddhist sect can hold it back!"
Xiao Cheng Yujia personally went to battle, with the dignity of the emperor, and went into battle in person. He even brought the novelist You Xingguang to serve as a temporary assistant, polishing his words and deeds along the way, in order to enhance his prestige!
Once you have enough prestige among the people and control the public opinion, you will naturally not be as constrained as you are now when it comes to Buddhism!
It's best if the old monk Huikai can't hold back and can't help but move his hands. In this way, Xiao Cheng can also let him feel the power of the Overlord of Western Chu.
Hearing what Xiao Cheng said, the old lieutenant suddenly reacted, his brows jumped, and he looked up at Xiao Cheng.
"Your Majesty, why did you go to Yongzhou Camp to... No! Absolutely not!" The old lieutenant almost jumped up in fear, and refused categorically.
Although he has just ascended the throne, the situation is even more critical. But just look at his words and deeds during this period, his ambition, methods, tactics, and decisions, they are all the image of the Holy Lord!
The old lieutenant had already concluded in his heart that Xiao Cheng was the man who could lead the Yun Kingdom to unprecedented prosperity. In this case, how could he put Xiao Cheng in danger?
But whether it is to subdue the border troops or to prepare for the future cleansing of Buddhism, Xiao Cheng must visit this Yongzhou camp!
Seeing the old lieutenant's unwillingness to agree, Xiao Cheng's face was solemn, his eyes were solemn, and he solemnly said every word:
"Old Lieutenant, don't try to persuade me any more! There are some things that even Buddha can't stop, I said so!"
--------------------------
His eyes turned to the northern border of the Yun Kingdom, the Moutong Mansion.
At this time, the city of Moutong Prefecture had been captured by the Xia army. Most of the seven counties in the prefecture had also been lost. Today, only two counties are still in the control of the Yun State.
You must know that Moutong Prefecture is located in the northern border of Yun State and is considered a hub. It is the only way to Jianchang Prefecture, Huichuan Prefecture and Lanxi County.
If all this land is lost, it means that Huichuan and Lanxi, which have not yet been captured, have become two enclaves. The Yun Kingdom can no longer rescue them and can only sit back and watch the Xia Kingdom slowly swallow them up.
Therefore, the war between the two places at this time is extremely anxious!
In Xia Jun's commander's tent, King Qi held his head with one hand and leaned on the seat, staring at the map in front of him.
On this map, most of the Moutong Prefectures have already planted the flags of the Xia army. Only Santai and Mou'an counties still have the slightly dazzling Yun Guoling flags planted.
At this time, an orderly soldier quickly ran into the tent, presented the military report with both hands, and said loudly:
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, General Shao Chao of Zhen'an. The attack on Santai County was not successful. He lost his troops and generals. He has already withdrawn his troops and retreated for repairs!"
King Qi's face sank and he said nothing. He raised his hand and moved the flag representing Xia's army beside Santai County a little toward the rear.
Not long after, another messenger hurried into the tent and reported loudly:
"Commander, when Zhenyi General Yin Bi attacked Mou'an County, he was suddenly attacked and killed by the Yun State army. Most of his troops and horses were lost, and he was unable to fight anymore!"
With a livid face, King Qi stretched out his hand to pick up the flag representing General Yin Bi on the map, threw it to the ground, and cursed:
