Chapter 234 In the Name of Buddha

In fact, in ancient times, except for some fixed cities, there was no obvious definition of borders on the endless Gobi grasslands. The ancients generally defined national boundaries according to customs.

Lu Junyi is hiding in a dense forest on the border between Chengdu and Tubo at this time. Behind him are 500 elites trained by himself. The only purpose of his trip is to intercept the living Tubo Buddha who came back from attending the Buddhist Party in Chengdu.

These living Buddhas came at the invitation of Song Qing, so if something happened to them at the border, it would be strange that those fierce Tubo people were willing to give up? In this way, Song Qing may no longer have the intention to think about Dali.

This is Lu Junyi's decision after thinking about it. Although Song Qing has not sent troops to attack Dali now, the pressure from Chengdu is still too great for him, so he must find a way to reduce or disappear this pressure.

At this time, it was Wu Dangbu's living Buddha Gong Ga who walked into Lu Junyi's ambush circle with the generous gifts given by Song Qing. Wugan is a big tribe among the tribes of Tubo.

For the tribal people who believe in Buddhism, the position of the living Buddha in their hearts is also supreme. Therefore, it is impossible for these living Buddhas with status to walk together. Fortunately, otherwise it will probably have to be stewed by Lu Junyi.

Seeing that only three or four hundred living Buddhas entered the encirclement, Lu Junyi's order suddenly ambushed.

The living Buddha generally brings out apprentices and believers. It's not that there is no force at all. It's just that this place has just arrived at the border. To be precise, it may not have left the boundary of Chengdu, so I didn't expect anyone to attack them at all.

After a surprise attack, all of them became ghosts under the knife, except for the two deliberately left alive, including Gong's living Buddha. Of course, the information back from the Tubo tribe is that the Liangshan people pretended to be bandits and attacked them. As for why, it is unknown.

Because the undercover agent of the internal guard beside Lu Junyi was still short and could not detect more secrets of Lu Junyi, when this information reached Song Qing, Gong Ga was dead on the road.

Fortunately, Zhuo Puba is still there, otherwise Song Qing is really indisputable, and once there is a full-scale war with Tubo, Liang Shan is likely to fall into a quagmire of faith.

Although Song Qing sent troops to chase and protect the living Buddhas after receiving Gao Jin's report, it was a step late, so the anger in his heart can be imagined.

Zhuo Puba has joy and anger in his heart. The reason why he stayed alone to talk with Song Qing is that he can help him suppress other Buddhist forces in Tibet in the future and make his sect truly dominant in Tubo.

So it should be a good thing for someone to kill his opponent.

But how can Tubo also be regarded as his territory? What's the difference between killing people on his territory without his permission and riding on his head and pooping?

Besides, now he is equivalent to forming an alliance with Song Qing, so he must help with this favor.

Although Tubo has not yet achieved the unity of religion, the words of these living Buddhas are no different from the imperial edict. Therefore, after Zhuo Puba's letter was sent back to Tibet, it immediately eased the situation of anger.

The internal guard did not send messages in time, not to mention Lu Junyi's side, otherwise he would not have taken action before Zhuo Puba left.

So when there was no war between Tubo and Liangshan as he expected, he had to sigh that Song Qing was so lucky that even God was helping him.

Song Qingzhen was angry. First, he slaughtered the residents of the town with the intention of provoking his fight with Shanyue. Now he robs the Tubo Living Buddha he invited. If he doesn't completely solve him, he doesn't know what else he will do?

After making up his mind, Song Qing immediately drew up a decree to order Kangba again to recruit 100,000 mountain soldiers, and Chengdu would mobilize 150,000 Liangshan troops. This time, Lu Junyi will be completely eliminated. Even if it is to flatten Dali, he will not hesitate to do so.

For a while, the cloud of war once again shrouded over Chengdu and Dali.

Just as Song Qing sharpened his knife and Huo Huo was ready to send troops and had written his will, Zhuo Puba found Song Qing.

The determination to send troops to Dali has been made, and it is not easy for anyone to persuade him, but so far, no one has persuaded him.

Zhuo Puba said to Song Qing: "The poor monk is also very angry about the killing of my Buddha disciples. At the same time, he is grateful to Chitose for their revenge on behalf of the disciples, but the poor monk suddenly thought of a strategy that maybe he can solve this matter without sending troops. I don't know if Chitose wants to listen?"

War requires death, and the daily consumption of such a large army can't be calculated at all, so it's best not to send troops. Song Qing is conceited and witty, but he has never come up with a way to deal with it. No wonder he is ashamed and angry.

"Please speak to the living Buddha"

"There is a good saying in the Central Plains, called the spear of the son and the shield of the attack. Since our enemies like to pretend to be ghosts so much, why don't we start from this aspect?"

Because it involved Tibet, Song Qing told Zhuo Puba about who the murderer was.

Song Qing smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, it's not that I haven't thought about this method, but there is no suitable person at all. You know, he has been promoted to the altar in Dali now, and even the king of Dali can't shake his position."

Zhuo Puba smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is a fan of the authorities! Does the prince still remember what the state religion of Dali is?

"State religion? Does the living Buddha mean Buddhism?

"Exactly, Dali's favorite Buddha, compared with my Tibet, even worse than me, the emperor's abdication will become a monk, which shows how my Buddha is popular in Dali"

"What can I do?"

"The poor monk has a younger brother who has just returned from Tianzhu. His status in Dali is comparable to that of a national teacher."

Song Qing understood a little, but he couldn't help asking, "I understand that the living Buddha means to invite your brother to Dali, but what can I do after going there?"

Zhuopuba smiled mysteriously: "In the name of Buddha"

Looking at Zhuopu Bana's smile as if it was covered with a layer of Buddha's light, the haze in Song Qing's heart was gone and he also laughed.

Liangshan's army did not enter Dali, which made Duan Zhengyan happy and a little disappointed. It turns out that Liangshan's army is nothing more than this, not as evil as the legend.

However, these seem to have nothing to do with him, because he knows very well that even if Liang Shan's army comes in, it may not have any benefits for him. He is nothing more than a puppet.

For the so-called divine master in Dali, Duan Zhengyan doesn't care at all. What a bullshit god? It's just a magic stick that took advantage of the chaos and was picked up by the Gao family. Can it be compared with a real Buddhist monk?

Speaking of high monks, Duan Zhengyan couldn't help but think of his Buddha master Dabolajie.

Master's Buddhism is profound, but he has never been as arrogant as the divine master. If he had been here, he would never have allowed the so-called divine master to be so rampant.

Master went to Tianzhu for half a year. It is said that he will go to Tubo when he comes back. In this way, I don't know when he will return to Dali?

Duan Zhengyan didn't know that Dapolael was actually Zhuo Puba's younger brother and was studied by a Tubo monk. Later, the eminent monk died, and Zhuo Puba stayed in Tubo to study Buddhism, and Dabo Lajie went to Tianzhu for further study. After that, he did not return to Tubo. Instead, he came to Dali, a beautiful place, and established a branch of Buddhism, Azili religion.

Because of Dali's national Buddha, Dabolajie was quickly recognized by Dali from top to bottom with his profound Buddhism, until he was recognized as a master by Duan Zheng.

As Duan Zhengyan thought, if Dabo Lajie was there, he would definitely be able to fight against Lu Tianshi, so as not to make Dali smoky.

Duan Zhengyan can think of this, and of course, Lu Junyi can also think of this, so he has been sending people to pay close attention to the movement of Dabolajie. Once there is news that Dabolajie is going to return to Dali, he will immediately send people to rob and kill.

Things seemed to be going towards the expectations of Duan Zhengyan and Lu Junyi, and the two received the news that Borael would return to Dali almost at the same time.

As the lord of a country, Duan Zhengyan has no military power, but other things are still okay. And what he thought was obviously more far-reaching, so after getting the news, he immediately thought that under such circumstances, the master was likely to be in danger when he came back. So he immediately ordered Gaoliang as the king to send troops to protect the national division.

Although Gaoliangcheng is now under Lu Junyi's family, he is also well aware of Dapolael's position in Dali and knows that this old monk must not be in danger, otherwise the situation they have worked hard to establish in Dali is likely to collapse in an instant.

Lu Junyi is not unaware of the danger of intercepting Dapolajie, but as a conspirators, how can he allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch? In order to ensure that his sect is dominant in Dali, he must eliminate this national teacher.

Dabolajie returned to Dali from the cities of Tubo, so Lu Junyi's most important idea was to take action in Tubo, which is not easy to make people suspect that he did his own hands and feet, and Gao Yangcheng did not agree to kill the old monk.

However, his men who spy on the news quickly reported that the Tubo nobles sent 10,000 horses to Bolaher, and they had been escorted to the junction of Tubo and Dali.

On the side of Dali, Gaoliangcheng also sent a lot of people to take over the old monk, so he wanted to kill the old monk unless he also sent a large army.

Lu Junyi is not short of manpower, but in this way, hasn't he exposed himself?

After thinking about it, Lu Junyi decided to send several masters to hide in the high-level army and wait for the opportunity to kill the old monk.

Of course, Lu Junyi has his own purpose in doing so, because he has found that Gao Shengtai is much easier to control than Gaocheng, and once the old monk dies in Gaocheng's army, he can take the opportunity to move Gaoliangcheng and let the more obedient Gao Shengtai be the master.

Just when the country of Dali was cloudy, Chengdu was also preparing in an orderly manner.

Although Zhuo Puba stopped Song Qing's decree to dispatch a large army in time, Song Qing did not stop the intention of marching into Dali, but turned the open attack into a secret attack.
