Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 332
----

The war seemed to break out in an instant, with smoke rising all over the land of Lu State, and the war was in full swing.

The brutal battle of Woshui did not bring peace to the Lu State again. The bold dispatch of troops by Lord Gao Yang and Lord Xinling could be said to have shattered the last thoughts in the hearts of the people of the Lu State.

The battle for the throne between the three princes also started at this moment. Countless Lu people were displaced, and countless Lu people took up arms again.

The war was caught off guard and completely ignited the entire territory of Lu State.Above the sky of Lu State, the sounds of fierce battles and killings echoed all the time.
For more than a month, Lord Gaoyang and Lord Xinling relied on the strong support of Zheng and Song, and the two armies went hand in hand, almost devouring all of Xun Shaoyu's victories.

However, Shangyang Dynasty was in charge of Zhaoyi, and Zhu Yuexing patrolled Wuhuiguan, building the entire Shangcai into a copper wall and an iron wall.Even if the two armies frequently mobilized, causing countless casualties and once turning Wuhuiguan into a bloody field, there was no way they could get away with it.

In the end, the top elite troops of the Zheng Kingdom [Feiyan Qiangzu] were dispatched, but they still failed and returned home, which truly established the status of Wuhuiguan as a famous pass in the world.

Qiyi camp, inside the handsome tent!
Xun Shaoyu was dressed in brocade clothes, with black hair shawl, and a golden crown and jade belt. There was silence in his brows, and he was reading the official newspapers in a leisurely manner.

The further he looked down, the heavier his expression became, and he whispered: "Is the situation in Shangcai already so serious?"

These Di newspapers came from one thousand miles urgent, two thousand miles urgent, and three thousand miles urgent.Each of the Di's newspapers wanted to kill several dragons and horses before it was handed over to him. The blood-red word "urgent" on it was extremely eye-catching.

clang!
Xun Shaoyu tapped the public case gently with his fingertips and sighed slowly: "Hey... in the middle of the mountain, the situation changed so quickly in one day that it really caught people off guard!"

For more than a month, Xun Shaoyu devoted himself to rectifying the morale of the army, reuniting the morale of the [-] army, and finally restored the military prestige of the top elite division.

Moreover, after going through the tough battle of Woshui, this [-]-strong army can be described as extremely powerful.After being tempered by the brutal battles, he became a rare and powerful soldier among the top elites, and even ranked among the strongest.

However, although Xun Shaoyu gained something, he also lost control other than Shangcai at the same time, so he could only hang out with the army alone.The pros and cons of it are hard to say in one word.

On one side of the tent, a monk sat down on the ground and sighed softly: "But, from the perspective of the young monk, your Majesty is still very confident."

This monk's vitality has returned to the void, and his whole body is empty and silent. Just standing alone makes people unable to look down upon him.

Xun Shaoyu chuckled softly, closed the Di newspaper in his hand, and said: "Master, you are serious. I am now on the cusp of the storm. If I am not careful, my boat will be destroyed and my life will be ruined. How can I dare to talk about it?"

"Master, you think too highly of me, Shaoyu Xun, and it actually puts Shaoyu to shame."

Kumara clasped his palms together and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's Taoism is natural. He has obtained the three flavors of the divine essence of martial arts. His merits are at the pinnacle. How dare a poor monk lie to you!"

"Hahaha... Master is so funny!" Xun Shaoyu smiled while stroking his hands, not commenting on Kumara's words.

After all, Xun Shaoyu had also entered Buddhism before, so he naturally knew the nature of these great monks who cannibalize people without spit out bones.Although there are one or two great virtuous monks in the Buddhist sect, compared with the temperament of the monks in the middle and lower classes, it is really worrying.

Therefore, as long as Buddhism does not touch the interests in his hands, his attitude towards Buddhism will only be to keep a respectful distance.

It was just that the monk in front of him had a special status that made Xun Shaoyu have to look at him differently, and even tolerated this monk walking freely in the military camp tent.

Kumara said solemnly: "Monastics must refrain from lying, young monks have absolutely no compliments, and poor monks are confident that they will wipe out all the enemies, and successor to the throne will be at hand."

The monk has been in the camp for fifteen days.During these fifteen days, due to his special status, Kumara was unable to see the secrets of the army, but he saw a lot of things that were not very secret.

Xun Shaoyu smiled softly and said: "Master is a disciple of Emperor Baoguang. He has won the trust of Emperor Emperor Tang and was given a divine edict from Emperor Emperor. I am so lucky to receive a word of praise from Master."

"pity……"

Kumarajiva shook his head and sighed, saying: "The son of your concubine is equal to the power of his mother's clan. In the blink of an eye, your Majesty was able to annihilate the two kings of Gaoyang and Xinling, but you could not stop the interference of Zheng and Song. .”

The two kingdoms of Zheng and Song were indeed Xun Shaoyu's innermost thorns. Even if Xun Shaoyu defeated Lord Gaoyang and Lord Xinling, a little support from the two kingdoms of Zheng and Song could make Lord Gaoyang and Lord Xinling rise again.

The two of them can withstand repeated failures, but as long as Xun Shaoyu fails once, he will never have another chance.

Xun Shaoyu was silent for a while when he heard the words, and said, "I don't know Master, what can you teach me?"

Over the past few days, Xun Shaoyu could also see that Kumara had something to ask for, and his request was certainly not small, so Xun Shaoyu had to weigh it carefully.

In the holy life of Kumarajiva as an Arhat, there are no great Arhats in Buddhism. They are top people all over the land of Kyushu. Even if they are not among the top, they are still among the best among the top.

Xun Shaoyu didn't feel that he was completely sure that such a person could pursue him.

"Namo Amitabha, Buddhism is vast, and the Dharma is boundless!" Kumarajiva chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice, his eyes as clear as water, looking at Lord Naganobu who was sitting on the throne. A golden Buddhist 'swastika' was written on the monk's head. The pupils are flickering, and the meaning of Zen is permeated.

Xun Shaoyu nodded, repeatedly pondering the deep meaning of his words, and said quietly: "Buddhism is vast, and the Buddha's Dharma is boundless. What a great Buddhism, how vast a Buddha's Dharma!"

Kumara has made it so obvious, how could Xun Shaoyu not understand what Kumara meant.

However, on the land of Kyushu in the vast main world, Taoism has always been worshiped and Buddhism demoted. Taoism is located on the land of Kyushu, and there are so many high-level people. Xun Shaoyu had to be cautious.

At this moment, as long as Xun Shaoyu nods, he can immediately get the support of Kumarajiva. And with the huge foundation of Buddhism, the two countries of Zheng and Song Dynasty are trembling and do not dare to act recklessly again.

However, it is easy for him to borrow the power of Buddhism. If he wants to repay this share of karma, he must pay back a thousand times.

Just like Emperor Baoguang, one of the 24 heavens of Buddhism, although he is the imperial master of Emperor Tang, the influence of Buddhism is still less than one-tenth of Taoism.

"Buddha!!"

Xun Shaoyu said dryly, "This is a behemoth. Even if it is just an inconspicuous branch, it still has a huge size that makes everyone despair."

…………

Under the cold moonlight, the bonfire crackled!
The fire was blazing and bursting, sparks flying in all directions. Xun Shaoyu stood alone in front of the tent, looking at the full moon hanging in the night with an extremely indifferent expression.

At this time, Kumara had already left the camp, and Xun Shaoyu was not sensitive to the "honey" given by Buddhism.With the help of a behemoth like Buddhism, it is a rare temptation for Xun Shaoyu, but the risks involved also make him daunting.

Xun Shaoyu himself was very sober. Although his body was sanctified and his spirit was perfect, he was expected to realize the way of heaven and man.But there are so many gods and humans in Buddhism. The most they can do is wallow in the secular world. Beyond that, there is a 'ceiling' that not everyone can break.

Rejecting Kumara's 'kindness' certainly made Xun Shaoyu feel a little reluctant, but the difference between gain and loss was never clear-cut.

"Buddhism... is not within my reach now. If I accidentally become someone else's chess piece, I will die without knowing how."

He held the saber in his left hand, his eyebrows were silent and composed, and powerful armored soldiers guarded him on the left and right, looking fierce and domineering, with a hundred-forged Wu sword hanging on his waist.

The dozens of Xiantian generals under his command had heavy expressions on their faces, and Zhou Zai's personal soldiers and guards stood tall. As the armor leaves swayed, tiger-headed shields stood, silently waiting for Xun Shaoyu's orders.

"Everyone, I have had more than a month, but have I cultivated enough?" Xun Shaoyu looked at his generals and spoke word by word, his eyes as calm as water, without any strange ripples.

General Chu Bei said in a rough voice: "Your Majesty is aware that our brothers have not used force for many days, and our bones are a little rusty. We are waiting for your Majesty's order to clear our muscles and bones."

"Well... it seems that the Battle of Woshui did not break our backs!" Xun Shaoyu said with a hint of approval on his face: "You all know that the three great heavenly soldiers of the Gong clan were so powerful that we can defeat them. It's just a part of their heavenly army, and the fight is so difficult. If the three heavenly armies arrive together, few princes in today's world can compete with it except the emperor."

He looked around at the generals and said softly: "This is not to boost others' ambitions, but it is the fact."

"But do we need to be afraid? Are our subordinates afraid of his arrogance?"

Xun Shaoyu said loudly: "No, we have no fear! I led an army of 12 people and attacked 12 Taoist soldiers. I beheaded all [-] Taoist soldiers on the bank of Wo River. Although the [-] army suffered as many as [-] casualties, But your names are destined to be engraved on the eternal history."

"Eight thousand Taoist soldiers, with the power of the Gong family, how many eight thousand Taoist soldiers are there? Although the [-] robes are damaged, their heroic spirits are with our army souls." Xun Shaoyu's words were sonorous and powerful, and many The chests of the generals seemed to be burning with fire.

Many generals kowtowed and said: "The last general is willing to follow the king, and he will receive the sword and axe, and he will die!"

Xun Shaoyu said in a deep voice: "After the rectification on the 35th, it seems that you are full of energy and can be put to use."

"I want everyone in Yuzhou and the whole world to know that I, Xun Shaoyu, know that my country, Lu... cannot be humiliated!"

"wind!"

"wind!"

The shouts of many innate generals using their inner breaths spread all over the camp in an instant, and the camp was filled with noise, surging up to the sky like a tidal wave.

"Gale!"

"Gale!"

There are [-] top elite divisions, and they are all the most powerful soldiers and armors. Under the sudden burst of energy and blood, they are so terrifyingly bright, almost like the rolling flames of a beacon.

call out!
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the soldiers, a stream of light suddenly fell on Xun Shaoyu's hand.

Xun Shaoyu looked down at the jade talisman in his hand, and the spiritual spirit could see through the jade talisman just by breathing, with a dumb smile on his face, he said for a long time: "So, great things can be expected!"

Many innate generals naturally noticed Xun Shaoyu's expression, and were shocked by Xun Shaoyu's gaffe.

You must know that Xun Shaoyu has always been in the hearts of all the generals, looking down on all living beings from a high place, like the king of gods turning the wheel of life.

In normal times, it was rare for Xun Shaoyu to have such obvious emotional changes.

Before all the generals could ask questions, Xun Shaoyu held up the jade talisman with his right hand, and said slowly: "The old grand master sent a jade talisman, calling me to gather with Lord Gaoyang and Lord Xinling to gather in Yingkou to discuss the overall situation of the State of Lu and express our expectations. To calm down the war, we decided on the choice of a new king.”

"I have decided to attend the meeting in the near future to see how he will discuss the overall situation of Lu State."

"Your Majesty, no," the generals suddenly changed their expressions after hearing this, and some of them with a violent temper said bluntly: "Your Majesty, no, Yingkou is the gateway to Yingyi and the place of Lord Gaoyang. If you go to the meeting in person, wouldn't you? Going straight into the tiger's mouth is absolutely unacceptable!"

One by one, the generals said with indignation: "Your Majesty, if they want to fight, just fight. Why bother with this little trick to only make people angry?"

The geographical location of Yingkou, only a hundred and eighty miles away from Yingyi, was really advantageous to Lord Gao Yang and Lord Xinling, so the generals had to doubt the old master's intentions.Even though the old master was a veteran of four dynasties and had high moral standing, he could not withstand the suspicion of the generals.

Seeing the angry general in the army, Xun Shaoyu chuckled softly and said: "Why should you be angry? Isn't this our opportunity?"

"The old master... is still trustworthy. I believe he will not murder me. I also believe he really wants to calm the war and choose a new king."

Seeing that the generals were still trying to persuade him, Xun Shaoyu laughed it off and said, "Don't forget, the old master holds the [Black Water Warrior] in his hands, which can be called the most elite soldier in the Lu Kingdom." . If I don’t go to the meeting, wouldn’t I be pushing one hundred thousand [Black Water Soldiers] towards Lord Gaoyang and Lord Xinling.”

One of the generals tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, a son of a lot of money cannot sit down in the hall. With your body of ten thousand gold, why do you need to take risks?"

Xun Shaoyu snorted and said: "Presumably by this time, the meeting in Yingkou has attracted the attention of thousands of people in Lu State. If I am timid and don't come, won't I be flattering others' wishes?"

"I have decided to go to this meeting at Yingkou. I want to see how the two of them see me. I fought with the [Wu Gou Divine Soldier] to the death, and the two of them were behind me, holding me back. He simply has no sense of the overall situation and has insulted the eight hundred years of wisdom of the Xun family of my country, Lu." As he spoke, his eyes were extremely bright, he held the Wu knife in his hand, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The so-called Yingkou meeting may be a trap to lure and kill Xun Shaoyu in the eyes of the generals.But from Xun Shaoyu's point of view, it is likely to be the key game for him to distinguish between strong and weak forces.
