Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1032 Wang Xiu's plan for Taoism
"Heshang is too impatient!" Master Yun Hao smiled and twisted his beard, unable to bear the sarcasm.

Wang Xiu also blinked, and said indifferently: "He Shang should be Fang Wai's great virtue, why do you care about secular military strategists?"

"When the killing begins, I don't know how many people have lost their lives." Monk Dafeng was compassionate, and prayed silently to pass away.

"Hehe, what you said makes sense, but how can a soldier be a weapon of war if it is not stained with blood? I would like to play a song of Shaoyue and go to the northwest to make contributions, but it is a pity that the etiquette is broken and the music is ruined. I can't use weapons." Wang Xiu Laughed disapprovingly, sometimes compassion is pedantic, just talk about it, if it is too real, it will be fake.

Monk Dafeng was silent, obviously he did not agree with Wang Xiu's remarks, but he was unable to refute.I think, the world is divided, and wars are fought every year. The people who go to the battlefield are the common people, and the people who suffer are the living people. In the eyes of the nobles, people are just pawns in the game.

He could understand what Wang Xiu meant. It looked like a series of swordsmen and murderous intent. In fact, it was not a good deed. To unify the disputes of the past dynasties and end the suffering of the people who fought for years, at least they can enjoy a hundred years of peace. Even being a dog is lucky.

Wang Xiu chuckled, knowing that Monk Dafeng was not satisfied, but he had no choice but to refute, and said wittily, "Heshang thinks that Huairou is the best choice for Master Wang to attack Xingqing?"

"Sister Xianggong has made a decision long ago, such as Huairou is the best." Monk Dafeng sighed.

Wang Xiu shook his head and said with a smile: "The princes of the court have clever plans, and the Son of Heaven can make arbitrary decisions. It depends on whether the famous masters take pity on the living people or not!"

"The son of heaven is the Buddha of the past, and the prince is the Buddha of the present life. The princes of the court are nothing more than Bodhisattvas and Arhats, and the famous masters are nothing more than stealing Shura." Monk Dafeng's tone was full of helpless sighs, and Wang Xiu still showed force and killing.

Daoist Yun Hao frowned. These words seemed plain, but they made people imagine that he used Manchu to Buddhism. Doesn't it mean that heaven is also a Buddha?
"I'm a Taoist school of Taoism, not someone taught by the West." Wang Xiu smiled indifferently, and said calmly: "After the knife and axe, Taoism is natural, and Buddhism is still needed to save the world!"

Master Yun Hao had a calm face. When it comes to ruling the people, he admitted that Taoism is not as good as Buddha, and that an afterlife is enough for people to endure in this life. However, Wang Xiu's subtle answer directly gave the conclusion of Buddhism, which made him secretly happy.

Monk Dafeng is not a fool. Wang Xiu made it very clear that he wanted him to come forward to appease the Buddhist disciples in the northwest, help the Song army to consolidate the hearts of the people after the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, and express his attitude so that Buddhism should not cross the border. Taoist.

However, he was not willing to be an accomplice to the soldiers, so he could only say euphemistically: "The poor monk speaks lightly, but he can tell the masters in the northwest, asking them to go west to spread the Dharma and save the souls of the dead. I hope you will forgive me."

Reverend Yun Hao rolled his eyes, and secretly scolded Monk Dafeng for being uninterested, and Wang Xiu obviously had Buddhist intentions, but was rejected by this fellow.

However, he was also secretly delighted, since Dafeng refused, it would be tantamount to hating Wang Xiu, it was his Taoist opportunity, oh, it should be said that it was his opportunity.

Of course, Wang Xiu was not happy when he was rejected. This bald donkey is all about serving the common people, but he is unwilling to face up to the righteousness of the country. What is more important for you to build a bridge or naturalize a million people?I believe anyone can tell the difference.

True Yun Hao is keen on utilitarianism, but he also has merits. Only those who devote themselves to carrying forward the family can truly make a difference in state affairs. What he needs is a hero who can help him treat the world, not a good man who builds bridges and roads.

In the debate between Buddhism and Taoism, although he is inclined to Taoism, he does not rely entirely on his personal likes and dislikes. He recognizes the positive significance of Buddhism, but sees more negative aspects. Of course, Taoism also has negative aspects. .

"That's fine, if a virtuous and eminent monk goes there, violence will be turned into peace. From then on, Lingxia will finally belong to the Han family, and the merit is immeasurable!" Wang Xiu said with a smile.

Master Yun Hao frowned, and the corners of his mouth were obviously turned up. If it wasn't for his deep energy cultivation skills, he might not be able to hold back anymore.

Monk Dafeng shook his head, and said calmly: "The poor monk is a Hinayana arhat, and my husband is a Mahayana Bodhisattva."

"How many times have I told you that now I am a mortal in the secular world and dare not call him a Bodhisattva?" Wang Xiu lost interest and did not want to discuss further. Monk Dafeng only cooperated and said that he was a great sage Bodhisattva. Silence made him too disappointed.

"Some things should come to an end. I heard that Koryo respects the Taoists, and they still need Daoist Lao." Wang Xiu set his sights on Master Yunhao. This fellow did not disappoint him. To reach overseas.

"Don't worry, Zhenjun." Master Yun Hao is an old man, he can taste naturally, and he is also very willing to take care of public and private matters.

Of course, Wang Xiu's goal is exactly in line with his ambition. He can spread Taoism overseas. How can he miss the second feat after Lao Tzu turned his beard.

Wang Xiu smiled gently. Master Yunhao's knowledge and interests are incomparable to that of Monk Dafeng. Since Fang Wairen walks in the world of mortals, how can he be exempt from vulgarity?His idea is that simple, let Taoist culture follow the colonization, gradually expand to the South China Sea, Confucianism and Taoism go hand in hand, and serve for the expansion of the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is conceivable that with the continuous expansion of the Song Dynasty, the so-called Southeast Asia and even Oceania are no longer Christian or Christian worlds, but a culture based on Buddhism and Confucianism, with Taoism as the outside and inside. Bo Zhang can succeed He didn't even dare to think about it.

The battle in Shengwei City was quite fierce. In order to reduce unnecessary losses, Wang Cunli withdrew some isolated strongholds, reinforced the main city, and adopted tactics of concentrating troops to delay the fall as long as possible, so that Song Dynasty The army arrived at the city smoothly.

This method has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that you can clench your fists and form a hard bone, which is most likely to cause casualties to the Song army.The disadvantage is that the Song army does not need to pull out points one by one, and can directly deal with the main city. It has the belief of victory psychologically, and can also concentrate manpower and material resources without worrying about the safety of the flanks.

Wan Jie, Kong He, and Yun Jie arrived at Shengwei City. Wan Jie and Kong He directly arrived at the Liezhai outside the city to cover the township army to assemble the siege equipment. Weicheng launched an attack.

The Song army did not directly attack the city wall, but first swept several interception positions around the city wall, and drove the Xia army back to the city.Then, with long-distance projectiles, the bombing continued for five or six days. It was non-stop day and night, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were miserable.

Seeing that it was almost done, Xu Huiyan ordered the organization of ladder vehicles, the construction of siege equipment such as goose holes, and under the cover of catapults and bed crossbows, various ministries launched an attack on the city in small teams.

On the tenth day of the fortified battle, the morale of the Song army was extremely high. They approached the wall of the city wall, sheep and horses, and fired rockets with powerful crossbows, causing flames everywhere in the city.
