Chapter 912 Ascetic Monk Xuanzang

King Jie Ri received the information sent by the surviving Pashikar, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. On the one hand, he was sad and indignant at the annihilation of the navy, and on the other hand, he was afraid of Tang Dynasty. How strong will our navy, Datang be?
But the most in his heart at this time is still puzzled, why did he stop when such a military strength could penetrate into the occupied land and destroy the country?Two years later?Could it be that this admiral didn't want to occupy the land, but a war madman who just wanted to compete with the navy?
"Your Majesty, the destruction of our navy this time has sounded a wake-up call for us. The Great Tang in the east is too powerful. In the past, we were a little short-sighted. In the future, we must keep an eye on the situation in the four countries. If we fight again in two years, we must build an army that can withstand it within two years." A minister said.

Jie Ri Wang Xiongcai is a general planner, so he naturally knows the stakes, "Choose elite soldiers to rebuild the navy, and appoint Pascal as the admiral of the navy. He is the only one who has fought against the Tang Dynasty head-on and has the most experience.

In addition, immediately send people to the north to catch up with Master Xuanzang, and follow him to the Tang Dynasty. We must find a way to figure out the problem of the Tang Dynasty's weapons and equipment. "

At this time, Master Xuanzang, who went northward to the Western Regions and returned to the Tang Dynasty, took a group of more than 36 people across mountains and rivers to escort boxes of scriptures to the territory of the Western Regions. At this time, the [-] countries in the Western Regions are no longer there, and the grasslands are occupying here. Unfortunately, Xuanzang and his party's carriages and supplies were very eye-catching, and they were detained as soon as they arrived in West Turks.

But I heard that this monk is a monk from the Tang Dynasty, and now they want to go back, the Western Turkic people hesitated. They wanted to kill people and get more money, but the Datang people dared not, because the Tang Dynasty was so powerful that even the Western Turkic Khan walked around. , if because he killed a Datang person, he attracted Datang to attack the Western Turks as an excuse, then there is no redemption for death.

Therefore, Xuanzang and his party were escorted to the front of the Western Turkic Khan Mo Heduo.

"Khan, my subordinates have captured a group of Tang merchants, and they have sent them over now." The subordinates reported from the tent of the Western Turkic King.

Mo Hedu was surprised and said: "Datang merchants? How is this possible? Datang has cut off the way of doing business in the Western Regions for several years, how could there be business travelers passing by today? Could it be that like last time, someone in Datang wants to smuggle secrets ?”

"I don't know yet, but it is said that it is a monk who left the Tang Dynasty many years ago. Now he is returning from a trip. He wants to go back to the Tang Dynasty and passes by us."

Soon, Xuanzang and others were brought before Mo Hedu.

"I don't know which country in the Western Regions this is? The poor monk Xuanzang, who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, is sworn brothers with Ju Wentai, the ruler of Gaochang, a great country in the Western Regions. Please help me."

"Oh? Your background is not small. A person from the Tang Dynasty was able to worship King Gaochang? It's really unbelievable. I'm afraid it was ten years ago. Gaochang was wiped out by the Tang Dynasty long ago. You Don’t you know? How dare you use Ju Wentai’s name to show off?” Mo Hedu mocked.

Xuanzang was shocked: "What? Gaochang, Gaochang was destroyed? They were destroyed by Tang Dynasty? When did it happen?"

"Hehe, about seven or eight years ago, it was Datang Lantianhou who paid for us Western Turks to help us send troops to kill and destroy the country, and then gave the land to Datang. Now Gaochang has long been the land of Datang, Ju Wentai The grass on the graves has probably grown into a grove."

"Da Tang? Marquis of Lantian? It's you again? Good, very good!" Xuanzang said through gritted teeth.

Mo Heduo, a western Turkic man, could see this expression completely, and thought to himself that this monk had a story.

"Tell me about you, you are from the Tang Dynasty, why did you come here? And it seems that you live in seclusion in the mountains and don't know anything."

"The poor monk named Xuanzang went out to Chang'an in the second year of Zhenguan to seek Buddhist Mahayana scriptures from Tianzhu, the ancestor of Buddhism in the Western Heaven. Exterminating the Buddha to preach, so I am anxious to use the way to go back, and I would like to ask this majesty to let me be lenient."

Mo Hedu snorted coldly and said, "You know, my Western Turkic and Datang have a deadly enmity, and Datang claimed to destroy our Western Turkic. We all kill Tang Dynasty people, so how could we let you go back to preach?"

"The poor monk is a monk, and the most taboo is killing. My Buddhist Mahayana Buddhist scriptures are for helping people to do good. After returning, the poor monk will definitely persuade the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to put down the butcher knife and make friends with your country." Xuanzang said.

"I advise you to say something that can save your life. My patience is limited, and that alone is not enough to save your life."

After hesitating for a moment, Xuanzang said: "The extermination of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty is actually the enemy of Buddhism. If you let me go back, Your Majesty, I will spread Buddhism widely, so that more people will no longer have the desire to fight."

"It's not enough, what do I have to do with the people of Tang Dynasty?" Mo Hedu calmly shook his head.

Xuanzang gritted his teeth and said, "The Great Tang eradicated Buddhism and spread the Tao. After returning home, the poor monk will definitely have a fight with Lantian Hou Baifan. If you can get rid of this heresy, I wonder if it will help your country?"

Hearing this, Mo He laughed, "Okay, that's what makes it interesting. If you can really cause a turmoil within Datang, then it wouldn't be worth letting you go back."

"The poor monk would like to make a document as evidence."

Xuanzang reached an agreement with Mo Heduo, passing through the territory of the Western Turks all the way without incident, and entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty from the territory of Gaochang.

However, the envoys of the Jieri Dynasty did not catch up, but later signed an alliance agreement with Mo Heduo of the Western Turks, and the two sides set a pace to jointly fight against the Tang Dynasty.

In the palace of the Tang Dynasty, Li was holding a telegram from Feng An in the south of the Lingnan in his second hand, stating that the Tianzhu navy was completely wiped out in World War I. The goal of military training has been achieved, and General Hou Junji is returning from his squadron.

Li Er first laughed for a while, secretly proud of himself, the Tang army was invincible, and now the navy is also invincible, it seems that the future of the Tang Dynasty is just around the corner.

Then he immediately said with a stern face: "Send a telegram to Hou Junji, telling him to go back to Chang'an immediately to receive the punishment, and to send troops privately to provoke a powerful enemy, I have to give an explanation.

In addition, tell Yue Wang Feng An to let him take charge of the northern and southern navies temporarily, and at the same time arrange for rewards for meritorious deeds. "

Feng Ang smiled wryly after receiving the telegram. I am afraid that Hou Junji is the first general in the Tang Dynasty who won the battle but went back to accept the crime. This is also a good talk. It seems that what His Majesty said is to accept the punishment, not the guilt. , it seems that this time Lao Hou should be safe and sound.
