The Giant Elephant City is still bustling and bustling.
There are countless people coming and going in and out of the city every day. Even in the Giant Elephant City, countless monks still come and go, and these monks have extremely high status. Wherever they go, they salute respectfully, and even kneel down to pay respect.
Although Baixiang Kingdom encountered war, the local monks were not affected in any way. In the Giant Elephant City, near the East City, in the southeast direction, there is a temple.
This temple is called Shitian Temple.
This is the largest Buddhist temple in the Giant Elephant City. Not only have there been many eminent monks in Shitian Temple in the past, but also because Master Yongxu, who was invited into the palace by the emperor of Baixiang Kingdom, was the former abbot of Shitian Temple.
Yongxu himself is a monk in the entire Baixiang Kingdom of Ming Dynasty.
The current abbot of Shitian Temple is named Yuanzhen.
Yuan Zhen was promoted by Yongxu. Although he was Yongxu's junior, Yuan Zhen's martial arts skills were the strongest in Shitian Temple. Yuan Zhen is extremely talented. Even when Yongxu was at his peak when he was young, he could not compare to Yuan Zhen today.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhen is not a bully. Moreover, in Shitian Temple, he did not rely on his martial arts to overwhelm others, but relied on his own Dharma to convince everyone.
In the Shitian Temple, in the Buddhist hall in the backyard.
Real meditation practice.
On weekdays, in addition to dealing with daily affairs in the temple, he spends most of his time reading scriptures and meditating. On the contrary, nowadays, Yuan Zhen doesn't have much time to practice martial arts.
While Yuan Zhen was meditating, the sound of rapid footsteps suddenly came.
Although Yuan Zhen was meditating, he heard the sound of footsteps. He opened his eyes and saw the somewhat panicked novice monk, with a gentle look on his face, and said slowly: "What happened? You are so panicked?"
When the novice monk heard Yuan Zhen's words, he looked pious and bowed and said: "Abbott, something bad has happened. Now, there is news spreading throughout the Giant Elephant City that the emperor of Qi led his troops to break through Wangfo Pass, and he has brought People go north to the Giant Elephant City. Many people say that the White Elephant Kingdom cannot stop the Qi army. The Qi people are coming, and the White Elephant Kingdom is going to be destroyed."
Yuan Zhen originally looked indifferent, with a faint smile on her soft face.
At this moment, the smile disappeared.
There was a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
It really happened.
Yuanzhen waved his hand, the novice retreated, and Yuanzhen sat alone in the hall. He did not act in a hurry, but took out a letter from Yongxu before and read it carefully again.
Before that, Yongxu specifically warned him that if the Qi army broke through Wangfo Pass and the Qi army destroyed the Baixiang Kingdom, it would be a general trend and impossible to resist, and asked him to contact him and mention his surrender.
Now, we have reached this point.
"Master, you are still more powerful than your disciple."
Yuan Zhen murmured.
In terms of seniority, he is Yongxu's disciple, but Yuanzhen's talent in martial arts is very good, and Yuanzhen's Buddhism is also the most outstanding among the younger generation, so Yuanzhen's place can be directly enshrined as Shitian Temple by Yongxu The abbot.
Yuanzhen Buddhism is outstanding, but its judgment of the situation is much worse.
He also knows that he cannot compare to Yongxu.
In fact, when Qi State went north to attack Baixiang State, Yuan Zhen believed that Qi State's intention to seize land and abolish slaves would force countless nobles to resist, which would be a situation where the enemy country would be completely wiped out. It would be almost impossible for Qi State to go north, and it would even be difficult to move forward.
Who would have known that in a short period of time, Wang Qi and his men broke through Wangfo Pass and headed towards the Giant Elephant City.
Older gingers are more spicy.
Yuan Zhen thought about it for a while, and finally made a decision. He got up and went to arrange the affairs of Shitian Temple. He put on his cassock and quietly left Shitian Temple and went out of the city.
¡¡
Giant Elephant City, Prime Minister¡¯s Mansion in Beicheng.
This is the residence of Sai Jiantuo.
During this period, Prime Minister Sai Jiantuo was very busy. When the Wangfoguan war broke out on the front line, he was responsible for coordinating the corresponding food, weapons, etc. to ensure the stability of logistical supplies.
The progress of the war is not only a competition for soldiers, but also a competition for food logistics. If the logistics cannot keep up, even if the soldiers on the front line can fight well, it will not last long.
Therefore, all this must be arranged by Sai Jiantuo.
In addition, the Qi army is approaching fiercely, and many nobles are panicking. At this time, Sai Jiantuo still had to appease people's hearts, summoning these nobles from time to time to explain the disadvantages of Qi's destruction of Baixiang Kingdom, and stabilize these large families that might move.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Without natural danger, it is difficult to hold on. "
When Chandala heard this, after thinking about it for a while, his eyes gradually became sharper.
He is the emperor of a country.
It is impossible for him to surrender directly.
People can surrender, officials can surrender, but he cannot surrender.
After Chandala thought clearly, he said: "Prime Minister, go and recruit more soldiers and mobilize more people. Next, we will do our best to resist. When the army of Qi comes to the city, you tell me, and I will personally Go to the tower to take command and personally supervise the battle."
"Old minister, I obey the order."
Sai Jiantuo responded respectfully.
As a veteran minister, Sai Jiantuo has his roots in Baixiang Kingdom, so it is impossible for him to betray. He turned around to make arrangements, and in less than a day, he adjusted the defense of Juxiang City.
Since then, the city has been under martial law, prohibiting entry and exit, and soldiers are patrolling the streets in the city.
The reason for patrolling is that we are worried about civil unrest in the city.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
In the afternoon of this day, after noon passed, when Sai Jiantuo was dealing with things, he got the news. Qi's army is less than fifteen miles away from the Giant Elephant City.
After Saijanda got the news, he went to the palace himself and told Chandala the news. Then he and Chandala quickly went to Nancheng. After the group arrived, they waited quietly on the tower in Nancheng.
Not long after, a black line appeared outside the city.
The army of Qi is coming.
Chandala and Saejanda stood on the tower, looking at the official road outside the city. Both of them became inexplicably nervous. The monarch and his subjects have been together for decades. This is the most tense moment for them.
They were facing Qi State.
They are in a desperate situation. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
