Chapter 1424 1100. Encourage monks to borrow food
But these hosts did not dare to look at Liu Zhuwen and Miao Cheng.
This may be because the state of mind has reached a certain state. At the same time, it is probably because the sound of the cannon just now is still echoing in their ears.
The Song army never poisoned the people, which did not mean that they did not dare to poison the people.
If you really want to get angry, the only one who suffers in the end will be the people of Dali.
The hosts obviously did not have such courage.
If the people of Dali are displaced because of their intentions, they will become sinners of Dali forever. This is contrary to Buddhist principles.
The host remained silent for a long time.
Liu Zhuwen and Miao Cheng no longer spoke, but kept a calm smile on their faces.
In fact, when they led the imperial guards to enter the Dali imperial city, they were already invincible in the territory of Dali.
Without a large army to guard Dali, even if the rebels were in great order, it would be almost impossible for them to drive them out of Dali again.
After all, there are only so many people left in Dali, and people's hearts are disintegrating.
Furthermore, the Song Dynasty would have troops continuously entering the Dali territory.
Thinking back to the beginning, rebels emerged one after another in the Song Dynasty, but in the end, they were defeated one by one by the Yuan army, and they were destroyed and surrendered.
For Liu Zhuwen and others, the choice of Chongsheng Temple can only affect how much effort it takes to conquer the entire Dali in the future.
If all Buddhists all bow to the Song Dynasty, it would be much easier for the Song Dynasty to make the people of Dali accept the governance of the Song Dynasty.
If they always keep the Song Dynasty away, the officials sent to Dali will have to work hard.
Second only.
In short, it is impossible for Dali to remain autonomous. Duan Qilin left Dali, and now Dali cannot find a new emperor.
After a long time, the Grand Chairman suddenly spoke up and asked Liu Zhuwen: "Do you dare to ask if the army commander is really short of food or fake food?"
Liu Zhuwen answered affirmatively: "It's really short of food."
The host asked again: "What will your army plan after we send food to Chongsheng Temple? Will you continue to invade the rest of Dali cities?"
Liu Zhuwen chuckled, "Master thinks there is still this need? According to Liu Zhuwen, as long as the master gives us food, there will inevitably be many leaders from all over Dali, and officials will take the initiative to come to see me in the imperial city. Liu Zhuwen never thought of continuing to fight with the soldiers and civilians in Dali. Buddhism talks about saving all living beings, but in fact, the same is true for our Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He only asked for something different, and he hoped that all the people in the world could live a good life."
The host looked at Liu Zhuwen deeply, "What the commander means, the emperor of your dynasty will treat the people of Dali as their own people?"
As the leader of Dali Buddhism, his vision of things must be different from that of ordinary people.
He knew that it was impossible for Dali to block the Song army, and what he was most worried about was that the people of Dali would become slaves of the Song Dynasty.
No Dali person would want Dali to become a "breeding farm" and be kept in captivity and can only be slaughtered.
Instead of doing this, it is better to fight to the death. Although it may not be effective, it is finally worthy of your heart.
Liu Zhuwen only replied: "If it weren't for this, when we attacked Li, we wouldn't have always protected the people of Dali."
The monks were slightly stunned again.
When Zhennan Military Region attacked Song Dynasty, the actions of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty were indeed admirable.
However, many of their own officials and generals in Dali took the people of Dali as their quality, making them laugh and making people feel sad.
After a while, the host said, "Since that time, the Emperor of Guichao has been confident that he can conquer Dali?"
Liu Zhuwen said: "As long as the people are rich and the people are looking for, such a court can remain undefeated. What is the difficulty for us emperors?"
The host said again: "How can the general plan to make me believe you?"
When Liu Zhuwen heard this, he naturally knew it.
The host could ask such a question, which means that his heart was already relaxed.
Perhaps in the heart of the Grand Host, as long as the people can live a stable life, this will be enough. He has nothing else to ask for.
This eminent monk is truly worthy of admiration.
Liu Zhuwen bowed to the Grand Chair and said, "Liu Zhuwen can swear or even make a document. Our officials in the Song Dynasty govern Dali, and we treat the people of Dali as compatriots. We will never cause trouble in the territory they captured like the Yuan Dynasty. If the Grand Chair feels that I am not worth enough, it is not impossible for Liu Zhuwen to ask the emperor to issue an order in person."
All the hosts were moved.
Liu Zhuwen's words were heartfelt.
This made the hostility among those among them who were originally hostile to Liu Zhuwen and others quietly dissipated a lot.
It was the Song Dynasty that Dali attacked first.
In fact, when the Song State counterattacked Dali, he ignored it.
And their attitude towards the people of Dali can be said to repay their grievances with kindness.
After all, if Duan Qilin had not obtained the help of the Buddhist sects in Dali and the people, he would not have been able to attack the Song Dynasty by risking the world's military force.
If the Emperor of the Song Dynasty really wanted to fight back, he would kill the entire Dali to the point of blood, which would be unreasonable.
Some things are unreasonable.
After a long time, the host said, "So, please come back, two generals!"
Miao Cheng was slightly stunned, "Master, you..."
The host has not answered them yet.
As soon as he said it, Liu Zhuwen stopped him with a smile.
Liu Zhuwen stood up and bowed to the host, and then took Miao Cheng out.
When they arrived in the courtyard, the two of them took their worshippers and their guards down the mountain and walked out of Chongsheng Temple.
On the way, Miao Cheng couldn't help asking Liu Zhuwen: "Captain Liu, they haven't answered whether we can deliver food to us."
“I’ll give it.”
Liu Zhuwen said confidently: "I have already made such a statement. As a host, I must have made some decisions in my heart."
He chuckled softly, "The reason why he didn't give us a reply was that the Grand Chairman still needed time to persuade the monks in the temple who were very hostile to us. Although he was the Grand Chairman, he could not ignore the attitudes and ideas of the monks in the temple."
Miao Cheng said again: "What if the great host cannot convince the monks?"
“Impossible.”
Liu Zhuwen said: "Just just now, all the hosts were in the reception room. Do you feel that other hosts except the hosts are too hostile to us?"
"No."
Miao Cheng shook his head and then reacted.
These hosts can decide anything in Chongsheng Temple. Since they are not very hostile, it will not be difficult for the host to reach a consensus in the temple.
Thinking of this, his expression became relaxed and bowed to Liu Zhuwen and said, "Miao admires the strategy of Liu Juncheng."
This is really a heartfelt praise.
There is really a shortage of food in the army.
Originally, Miao Cheng was actually as worried as Zhang Hongwei about food assistance, but now, Liu Zhuwen easily solved this matter.
Not only that, he also forced De Chongsheng Temple to make its position.
This will make many people in Dali less wary of the Song Dynasty.
Especially those pilgrims and believers of Chongsheng Temple.
When they saw that Chongsheng Temple was close to the Song Dynasty imperial guards, they would definitely not be hostile to the Song Dynasty imperial guards.
After that, the officials of the Song Dynasty rushed to Dali, and it would be much easier to assimilate these Dali people.
Liu Zhuwen bowed to Miao Chenggong, "Miao Army Commander praised me. I just thought more."
Not long after they returned to Dali Imperial City, Zhang Hongwei also led the Tianji Army back to the city.
Miao Cheng heard what happened in Chongsheng Temple from his mouth, and he admired Liu Zhuwen very much. He just kept saying that he was a rough man.
Compared with Liu Zhuwen's method, he said that he would lead his army to another city to grab grain, which was really a strategy that he could not afford to go to.
The next day.
Kuizhou Road leads to Sichuan City.
After three days of preparation, the two armies of Tianxiong and Tianmeng set off their camps at dawn and marched westward.
Tongchuan City is located in Dali, just parallel to Lizhou East Road and Tongchuan Mansion Road. When they head west, they can join the army of Helian City and Qu Rujian.
Of course, Du Hu and Zheng Yihang did not have such plans.
All they had to do was to suppress Pang Hongguang's Lizhou East Road defenders.
