Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1153

Chapter 1151: The Prince of Heaven

After Qin Hao's order to withdraw his troops was issued, Tan Daoji immediately withdrew overnight after receiving the letter from Feige.

This Buddhist extermination operation lasted for nearly two months. Almost [-]% of the Buddhist temples in Sizhou and Jingbei under Qin Hao's command were destroyed at one time.

After statistics, a total of more than 140 large and small Buddhist temples were destroyed, and more than [-] monks were killed and captured, while the Qin army only paid less than a thousand casualties.

It can be seen from this that although the forces on the rivers and lakes are strong, they are still vulnerable to the regular army of the princes.

In addition, the Qin army also liberated more than 4000 people, seized a total of 2000 million yuan in money, 50 million yuan in antiques and treasures, seized nearly [-] shi of grain and grass, and seized a large number of fertile land and real estate.

It has to be said that the Buddhist family is really rich. Qin Hao's seizure of the Buddha this time, regardless of other things, is just food and grass, which is enough to support the Qin army in a medium-sized battle.

It’s no wonder that the Buddhists are so eager to reconcile. This is to minimize the loss. Otherwise, even if they take the initiative to send "protection money" to the princes, the princes from all over the world may not be willing to accept it. More.

In addition to the loss of money and food, the biggest loss for the Buddhist family is talent.

As soon as it was learned that the Qin army was going to destroy the Buddha, many eminent monks from all over the world gathered in Sijing, trying to stop the Qin army from destroying the Buddha.

As for the final result, of course it didn't have any effect. Facing the sharp sword array and crossbow array of the Qin army, countless eminent monks died under the butcher knife of the Qin army.

This includes four grandmasters, three half-step grandmasters, eight super-first-rate masters, 28 first-rate masters, and over a hundred second-rate masters.

As for the eminent monks in the half-step Grand Master realm, apart from one being killed by Gao Chong at the beginning, another one appeared later, who was also killed by Gao Chong and Pei Yuanqing.

Half-step grand masters are the mainstay of any school, but the Buddhist school has lost two at once. This is already traumatic, and it may not be able to recover in ten years.

In this battle to exterminate the Buddha, the endless lineup of masters from the Buddhist school also surprised all the schools of thought.

It turned out that before we knew it, the foreign Buddhist schools had grown to this point. Among the hundreds of schools of thought, only Taoism could hold the top of the Buddhist schools.

The Buddhism naturally aroused the fear of other hundred schools of thought, but even such a powerful Buddhist school could not stop the army of five thousand princes, which made the hundred schools realize their strengths and weaknesses again.

The advantage of Baijia is that it has more than half of the talents in the world. With the help of its own talents, it can directly or indirectly influence the princes, or the princes supported by its own family.

But if you confront the princes head-on, it is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg. A master who is not in the realm of a great master will not be able to withstand the siege of an army no matter how strong he is, but how many great masters are there in all?

After realizing this, the high-level leaders of various schools of thought all had complicated thoughts. Today's world is no longer the world where they were allowed to roam freely. The princes from all over the world are the real masters of this world.

A hundred schools of thought can use the Yellow Turban to destroy the foundation of the Han Dynasty, but they are helpless against the princes who ruled one side.

Although Qin Hao's battle to exterminate Buddhism this time was mainly aimed at Buddhists, it also played a role in knocking mountains and shaking tigers, greatly deterring all schools of thought.

And this indirectly caused a sudden change in Baijia's behavior style in the next period of time, and it was no longer as domineering as before.

This is a surprise to all the princes in the world.

The act of exterminating the Buddha has many benefits. In addition to deterring the hundreds of schools of thought, it also frightened all the sects under the hundreds of schools and all the schools in the world.

After all, the princes dare to destroy even the Buddhist school, and it is too easy to destroy a sect.

After this battle, the major sects in Qin Hao's territory all clench their tails and act cautiously for a long time afterwards, not daring to easily violate the laws formulated by the Qin army, which also made the law and order in Qin Hao's territory have been substantially improved.

--------

In the second year of Chuping (AD 191), April.

On the fourth day after Qin Hao returned to Luoyang, surrounded by many civil and military officials including Qin Hao, Han Emperor Liu Xie ascended the throne again in the Luoyang Taimiao and changed his Yuan to Jian'an.

Since then, driven by Qin Hao's butterfly, 191 AD has become the first year of Jian'an, a full five years earlier than the first year of Jian'an in 196 AD in the original history.

From February when Liu Yu inherited Yizhou Mu and joined forces with Liu Ji to resist Chi You's invasion, to now April when Liu Xie re-ascended the throne in Luoyang, too many major events happened in this short period of two months.

First, there were thirteen stick monks who rescued Li Shimin, and Sakyamuni broke the rules once, but it resulted in Qin Hao's large-scale extermination of Buddha.

Later, Su Lie defeated Wang Mang, forcing Wang Mang to retreat to Hanoi, tried every means to strengthen his power, and finally even held a martial arts conference.

In order to avoid pressure from all schools of thought, Qin Hao led the Seven Swords to chase Li Shimin to the Tongfu Inn in Qixia Town. After the Seven Swords combined to kill Dugu Yuyun, the great master, they reached a joint cooperation with Li Shimin to deal with Yang Jian.

It was also after the cooperation with Li Shimin was reached that Zhou Yu and Li Cunxiao made a surprise attack on Hangu Pass, blocked the food road of Yang Lin's army in Yewang City, and attracted Yang Guang and Yang Jian's [-] troops to attack.

After letting go of Li Shimin, Qin Hao went to the Wulin army to kill Wang Mang, but accidentally broke through Yuan Meng's plot, and issued a warning to the North Jin army in advance, so that the Jin army was ready when facing Murong Ke's attack. And Bingbei also set off the Jin-Yuan War.

In the end, Qin Hao personally led people to destroy the Xuanjing Division's base, and captured Yuanmeng Princess Zhao Min alive. Under the heavy siege of Wang Mang's army, he led everyone back to Luoyang.

In just two months, Qin Hao traveled almost half of Sizhou, experienced a series of thrilling events, and now finally returned to Luoyang to help the emperor ascend the throne, thus opening the way for the princes to be controlled by the emperor.

Since Liu Xie escaped from Chang'an alone with the help of Jia Xu, and there were no other Han ministers around him to assist him, after re-ascension to the throne, when all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were all officials of the Qin family, Qin Hao naturally became an official. He became the only person Liu Xie could rely on.

The first thing Liu Xie did after he re-ascended the throne was to enfeoff all the ministers. Of course, the premise must have been approved by Qin Hao.

In this canonization, all the civil and military officials loyal to Qin Hao have been promoted, and the cohesion of the officials under his command has been greatly improved.

As for Qin Hao himself, Liu Xie originally wanted to confer Qin Hao the title of General and King of Qin, but Qin Hao voluntarily refused the canonization on the grounds of 'lack of qualifications', and in the end he only accepted the title of General Hussar and Duke Qin of the next level. Bit, fief Nanyang County.

As for Qin Hao's father, Qin Wen, who was far away in Jinyang, Liu Xie made him a general and king of Jin, and enfeoffed Taiyuan County.

Except for Qin Hao and Qin Wen, the other princes have not yet been canonized. After all, the other princes have neither envoys to Luoyang for pilgrimage, nor have they recognized the orthodox status of Liu Xie's Han family.

Today's Sizhou is still in war, and when Qin Hao unifies Sizhou and unites the forces of the Qin and Jin armies, its overall strength will naturally become the overlord of the princes.

At that time, the princes from all over the country will be frightened by Qin Hao's huge military power, and they can only send them to Luoyang to recognize Liu Xie's orthodox status. In this way, Qin Hao's plan to coerce the emperor to order the princes will naturally be implemented smoothly.

Therefore, the canonization of other princes can only be carried out after Qin Hao has unified Sizhou.
