Chapter 153 Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks appear
Although Xu Muzhi didn't like the fact that Ning Chen stole his limelight.
But when it comes to his professional field, Xu Muzhi still takes it very seriously.
After thinking seriously for a moment, Xu Muzhi nodded and said, "I think it's feasible."
Zhao Tuo also said: "I also think this is feasible."
After a pause, Zhao Tuo said: "In that case, we will choose a direction as the direction of the strong attack, and then discuss the formation of troops."
It is not difficult to choose the direction.
They must have chosen the side facing Baijia City as the direction for the strong attack.
Although the Buddhist kingdom arranged on this side is stronger.
But choosing this side can minimize the logistical supply distance.
This time Wu Dynasty has a complete advantage. It doesn't matter if the bones are difficult to chew, the main thing is that the logistics must keep up.
Moreover, the logistics channel they want to open this time is not just a temporary channel, it may be used for a long time and transport large quantities of materials.
So the shorter and straighter the route, the better.
However, when it came to arranging troops, Ning Chen made a suggestion.
Ning Chen suggested that two brothers, Wolong and Fengchu, enter the vanguard camp.
Xu Muzhi didn't know much about the two brothers Wolong and Fengchu.
But Zhao Tuo still knew something about these two brothers.
After all, General Wu had been his superior for some time.
Zhao Tuo had heard a little bit about General Wu's family affairs.
"I have my own thoughts on this matter. After the two of them enter the forward camp, just let them act freely and don't worry about them too much. The rest of you can just act step by step." Ning Chen said to Zhao Tuo.
Now that Ning Chen said this, Zhao Tuo said nothing more.
It's just that Ning Chen found that the way Zhao Tuo looked at him was more respectful.
This also made Ning Chen very confused.
He asked two brothers, Wolong and Fengchu, to enter the forward camp.
Is this matter itself worthy of Zhao Tuo's respect for himself?
I just want to complete the chosen task.
What Ning Chen didn't know was that Zhao Tuo was thinking about something else at this moment.
In Zhao Tuo's view, Ning Chen was simply taking care of General Wu.
Zhao Tuo is fairly clear about the situation in his old superior's home.
Zhao Tuo also understood that if his old superior died, the Wu family would surely plummet.
Ning Chen is doing this now simply because he, as his old superior, has worked so hard for the Wu Dynasty and wants to help him.
After all, he can more or less guess what his old superior has on hand.
He really didn't believe that he could impress Ning Chen just by relying on the things that Old General Wu had on hand.
What Ning Chen is doing now is entirely to take care of and help General Wu, just as a reward for his loyalty to the country.
And in Zhao Tuo's opinion, Ning Chen has a precedent of doing this kind of thing.
When he was in Fengjing before, Ning Chen would not hesitate to challenge the clan for a veteran of the Red Flame Army.
You must know that Ning Chen was not a prince at that time.
It's just a Hanlin compilation.
With such an ordinary status, he is willing to challenge the authority of the clan for a veteran.
Now, in order to help a dedicated general, it is not impossible to do something that goes against principles.
Ning Chen couldn't tell what Zhao Tuo was thinking.
But Ning Chen didn't care what he thought.
Just complete your task.
The last wave of Wolong and Fengxia brought a lot of reputation points to themselves.
This time it will definitely bring a lot of reputation points.
When the time comes, Ning Chen will get some more Holy Paths for auction.
This not only enriches one's own wealth, but also gives people more choices. It's the best of both worlds, so why not do it.
After discussing these two major events, Ning Chen then exchanged some of Hezhou's defensive strategies with Zhao Tuo and Xu Muzhi.
In addition to attacking, Ning Chen must also prevent the desperate counterattack from the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions.
What if the Buddhist country in the Western Regions simply gave up fighting on its own land when it knew it couldn't defeat it?
Instead, they directly brought large forces to Hezhou to attack the territory of the Wu Dynasty.
Then Ning Chen must also have a defensive plan.
As a defensive weapon, Italian artillery must be equipped in large quantities in Hezhou.
With the start of the war in the Western Region, Wu'ang's production capacity has already increased by about five times.
Plus unlimited supply of materials.
Now Wuang can make at least a hundred Italian cannons every month.
One hundred Italian cannons can defend at least four cities without blind spots.
Moreover, under Ning Chen's 'reminder', Wu Ang made many improvements to the Italian cannon.
The first is the improvement of materials.
The entire gun body was changed from fine iron to fine steel.
The thickness of the gun body was reduced by one-third, but its strength was more than doubled.
The life limit of one thousand rounds has been increased to the life limit of two thousand rounds.
The most important thing is the overall weight, which has been reduced by more than two-thirds.
In this way, the movement of the Italian cannon will become easier.
Even if you drag it down to fight in the field, you don't have to worry about it being too heavy and sinking into your land, making it impossible to transport it easily.
In order to facilitate transportation on the land, Ning Chen also reminded Wu Ang to invent the so-called crawler device.
In this way, even slightly moist land can be moved easily.
Another point is that in terms of accuracy, Wu Ang and Yun Xuanzi teamed up to add some means to the artillery shells.
It can ensure that the artillery shells can fly to the direction locked by the artillery.
At the same time, some adjustments have been made to the detonation time.
The detonation time has been changed to one that can be controlled.
Generally speaking, the power of Italian artillery has increased several times due to the efforts of Ning Chen and Wu Ang.
The new version of the Italian cannon can definitely be called a killer weapon from any dimension.
In addition to Italian artillery, there are some ways to defend the city and how to prevent their monks from storming up here.
Zhao Tuo and Xu Muzhi both gave a lot of opinions.
Except for the use of Italian cannons, Ning Chen had more say than them.
In other aspects, it must be said that Xu Muzhi and Zhao Tuo are more experienced.
After all matters were discussed, Zhao Tuo and Xu Muzhi also left to do what they needed to do.
Ning Chen asked people to find Wolong and Fengchu.
Looking at these two people from the Wu family, they are like a dragon and a phoenix.
Ning Chen also directly explained what he wanted the two of them to do.
The reactions of the two people were just as Ning Chen expected.
Wu Tuizhi was very enthusiastic about Ning Chen's proposal, which could even be said to be very radical.
It was obvious to Wu Tuizhi that after waiting for so many years, he finally got such an opportunity to stand out.
Finally I met a guy who can see the good in me.
If Ning Chen hadn't emphasized it in advance, it was not yet time for the war to start. Wu Tui had already rushed out to recruit troops and set off directly to the Western Region.
After Wu Jinzhi heard Ning Chen's proposal, his behavior was completely opposite.
His brows were furrowed.
He wanted to say something, but his mouth was tightly covered by his brother.
He couldn't make any sound at all.
Not being able to hear Wu Jinzhi's voice was a good thing for Ning Chen.
Compared with Wu Tuizhi's arrogance, Wu Jinzhi's world-class retreat master's words are even more depressing.
So if Wu Jinzhi can't speak, then he can't speak.
Ning Chen also found himself at ease.
"You two must remember one thing. You two are just a vanguard battalion. Your main purpose is to open roads and detect the enemy's situation.
Don't be aggressive in everything, put safety first.
I will let your two teachers supervise you two.
Another thing you two need to remember is that this is the first time I have enabled you two.
If you two don't perform well, I won't wait until you come back before I take you down.
I will take you two down and replace you two while you are still in office."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis, we will never mess around." Wu Tuizhi assured Ning Chen.
After letting Wolong and Fengchu leave, Ning Chen called Li Ziqiu over again.
He gave Li Ziqiu instructions on how to supervise these two students.
Li Ziqiu naturally patted his chest and assured Ning Chen that he would definitely look after these two disciples.
Although Li Ziqiu talks a lot, Ning Chen feels that Li Ziqiu should still be a qualified teacher.
…
At this time in the Buddhist Kingdom of the Western Regions.
Qingyuan, who returned from the Wu Dynasty, immediately began to promote his theory of Mahayana Buddhism non-stop.
In Qingyuan's view, spreading Mahayana Buddhism is an urgent matter.
The Western Region has been poisoned by Hinayana Buddhism for too long.
Mahayana Buddhism must be spread immediately.
Naturally, the spread of Mahayana Buddhism in Qingyuan cannot be hidden from the eyes of other Bodhisattvas.
It's just that for the time being, they have no way to touch Qingyuan regarding the spread of Mahayana Buddhism in Qingyuan.
Qingyuan relied on the great wish given to him by Ning Chen and became the strongest second-grade Bodhisattva.
If they really wanted to control Qingyuan, they would have to dispatch at least five people.
Even if five of them are dispatched, there is still a certain probability that they will die.
They are not afraid of death.
The key is that this time is a critical period for them and the Wu Dynasty.
If any of them die at this time, the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Region may be in danger.
The Western Region is their foundation. Without the Western Region, all their ideas would be in vain.
"Have you all read the Mahayana Dharma?"
“I’ve seen it, it seems reasonable, but in fact it’s just something to deceive the world.
If you can't save yourself, how can you save others?
This so-called Mahayana Buddhism is simply self-deception.”
Bodhisattvas expressed their views on Mahayana Buddhism one after another.
These Bodhisattvas are different from Qingyuan.
Qingyuan had only been cultivating Buddhism for a short time before he was directly deceived by Ning Chen.
But these Bodhisattvas are all true Bodhisattvas who have practiced Hinayana Buddhism for a long time.
How could he be led astray by Ning Chen's so-called Mahayana Buddhism?
And in fact, there are inherent differences between Mahayana Buddhism and Hinayana Buddhism.
There is no relationship between who completely replaces whom.
However, in a world without Mahayana Buddhism, the emergence of Mahayana Buddhism will inevitably divert the popularity of Hinayana Buddhism.
If by that time there really is a holy path belonging to Mahayana Buddhism, it will appear.
They are about to face the biggest division.
The most important point is that if this Mahayana Buddhism was proposed by any one of them, it would be easy to say.
In the final analysis, they are all people from the Buddhist land.
But this Mahayana Buddhism was proposed by Ning Chen.
Qingyuan is just a communicator.
If the Buddha Land is really divided, then the people who are separated and believe in Mahayana Buddhism will definitely regard Ning Chen as the Lord Buddha.
This is the real blow to the Buddhist country in the Western Regions.
Let an outsider become their Buddha.
And he's still an enemy.
"No matter what the Mahayana Buddhism is, we must pay attention to today's events."
Great Wisdom Bodhisattva pinches the Buddha's fingers with his hands, eyes slightly closed.
It was just at this moment that all the movements and trends in Wu Chao were quickly passed through in his mind.
After going through this process, Dazhi Bodhisattva also knew the general arrangements of the Wu Dynasty.
"The Wu Dynasty is most likely planning to take advantage of this Mahayana Buddhism incident to proactively provoke a war against us.
It is very likely that they will choose to break through our defense line from one direction.
In the end, the army will be forced directly to the feet of Leiyin Temple.
At that time, coupled with the propaganda of Mahayana Buddhism, our failure will really be close at hand."
After hearing the words of the Great Wisdom Bodhisattva, all the Bodhisattvas could not help but frown slightly.
If everything is done according to what Great Wisdom Bodhisattva said.
Then their failure is really close at hand.
"It seems that we must deal with the Qingyuan matter." A Bodhisattva said.
Dazhi Bodhisattva shook his head and said: "We can still let go of the Qingyuan matter.
If we take action on Mahayana Buddhism now, it will lead to more backlash.
Just let Qingyuan spread it for a while.
As long as we are on the frontal battlefield, we can completely annihilate the Wu Dynasty's attacking army.
Things related to Mahayana Buddhism will naturally be suppressed.
If we can take advantage of the victory and pursue it, we can directly kill Ning Chen.
It is not impossible for Mahayana Buddhism to spread in the Western Regions.
After all, if Mahayana Buddhism can really be spread.
It will also be easier for us to spread our teachings among the Wu Dynasty.
It’s just that the master of this Mahayana Buddhism must be us.”
After hearing the words of Great Wisdom Bodhisattva, all the Bodhisattvas nodded.
"If that's the case, then let's leave all arrangements to the Bodhisattva Great Wisdom on how to arrange the troops.
All monks and soldiers in the Buddhist kingdom are mobilized by the Bodhisattva Great Wisdom.
Everyone must cooperate with the great wisdom Bodhisattva’s mobilization.
This battle is about the Western Region and the survival of our Buddhist land.
I also ask that you all work together to make progress together.”
