Not only Buddhism pays attention to compassion, but Taoism also does so. When the photos of the people in the Buddhist countries in the Western Regions dragging their families and being homeless are shown, and when the true masters see the people crying while walking, the old people, women and children, and children The tears dripping from the corners of the eyes also fell on the hearts of the true masters.
The specific picture is more convincing and more touching than the empty imagination. No need for Zhao Ran to say anything more. The real masters unanimously approved the humanitarian aid plan proposed by Zhao Ran with a low price of 30,000 taels of silver. Export 10 million kilograms of rice to Xixia.
Zhao Ran expressed in the True Master Hall that he was going to personally escort Rice to the Western Regions. Faced with the opposition of the True Masters, he said: "What exactly does the Demon Sect practice? What do they believe in? Why can they have such strong strength? Even Buddhists feel trembling? What is their relationship with the monsters who fought in Jishi Mountain decades ago? Don¡¯t you want to understand these questions?"
Du Yanghong said: "Zhenren Hongfa should not take risks easily. The war is still far away from the Ming Dynasty. We must not act hastily. If they really have the same sect as the demons from Jishi Mountain back then, it would be too dangerous."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Ran received a flying talisman and immediately informed the true masters of the True Master Hall: "On July 20th, the Demon Sect's army officially attacked the capital of Xiuxun. The 30,000 allied troops from the Western Regions under the command of Buddhism tried their best. After three days of resistance, the capital fell today. This is the news from Qu Fenghe and Suchuan Yao of our sect's holy hall. They were helping to defend the capital in Xiuxun and have now retreated to Wulei with the defeated army. According to their observations , the demon sect's army attacking the city numbered around one hundred thousand, including a large number of demon monks, who were not afraid of death, and their madness was shocking. They said that after three days of offensive and defensive battles, the Western Region Allied Forces had been frightened. Morale is extremely low, and he estimates that it will be difficult to defend the country without thunder."
Qu Fenghe and Suchuan Yao brought a Nangui series unmanned flying magic weapon. The magic weapon was equipped with a time-lapse photography platform. The flying magic weapon contained dozens of photos of the war scene taken from the air. , you can see the situation of the Demon Sect's army. Although it is blurry, it is very intuitive.
After seeing these photos, Wu Yangzhong asked Shen Xiu Feifu about the battle situation. In the evening, Tianlongyuan reported the results of the battle to Zhenshitang: after inflicting heavy casualties on the enemy, the Western Region Allied Forces were outnumbered and had given up on Xiuxunguo. Retreat to the country without thunder. According to Buddhism's judgment, the Mo Sect's army attacking the capital of Xiuxun State totals 120,000 people. This is the north road, and there are 80,000 people on the south road. They have already occupied Cheshi.
In addition, Shenxiu also revealed that according to the information available, the North Road and South Road are only the vanguard, and the real main force of the Demon Sect is still behind!
Wu Yangzhong asked Shenxiu what the next step of Buddhism was. After asking this question, Shen Xiu took a long time to reply, saying that he and Bodhidharma Hall hoped to come to Lushan and explain the situation to Zhenshi Hall face to face.
This is the first time that an eminent Buddhist monk has entered the Jinjifeng Cave after the Lushan lectures and the establishment of the Zhenshi Hall. When Shenxiu and Zhizhi stood outside the Zhenshi Hall, waiting to be called in, Zhuo Yunfeng couldn't help but feel deeply beside them. After sighing, he added: "This is the first time in the past few years, it seems to be quite a lot."
Zhao Ran went out to greet them, introduced Shen Xiu and Zhi Zhi, and introduced them to the real masters one by one, some of whom he had seen before, and some of whom he had never seen before. The two leaders of Tianlong Academy clasped their hands one by one.
After the introduction, Zhao Ran said: "After receiving the document from your institute, the True Master Hall attached great importance to it. The two great true masters Yun Yi and Chang Yu personally presided over it and held many meetings to study and judge the situation in the Western Region. With a compassionate heart, , agreed to provide humanitarian assistance to your country, and support your country with 10 million jins of rice at the symbolic price of 30,000 taels of silver to help the people suffering from war in the Western Region."
Hearing the news, the two monks were very excited and immediately expressed their gratitude.
Zhao Ran added: "As for the war situation in the Western Region, we also want to hear the introduction of the two masters."
So, Shen Xiu began to explain the war situation in the Western Region to the real masters. He continued to talk for more than half an hour before he finished. After his introduction, the chief intelligence officer of Bodhidharma Hall, who was responsible for planning the war, continued to introduce Tenryuin's plan to deal with the war.
He said: "The Demon Sect is powerful, which is beyond the expectations of many of us. Therefore, we must admit that we have indeed neglected the coming of the war. At present, six Buddhist countries in the Western Region have fallen, and the Demon Sect's army has The northern and southern routes were divided into two groups and advanced together, and the offensive was extremely arrogant. After discussion at Tianlongyuan, it was decided to shrink the front line and place it at Loulan. Loulan is the intersection of the northern and southern routes. The decisive battle here can also further lengthen the supply line of the Demon Sect's army."
Huang Bingyue asked: "How many soldiers can Tianlongyuan mobilize to Loulan to defend against the enemy?"
Zhizhi said: "Within two months, we can mobilize 100,000 people to rush to Loulan, and within three months, we can reach 200,000 people. This time, not only Xixia, but also Tubo and Beiyuan will send troops. But these Most of the sergeants are on the border with Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Tianlongyuan hopes to obtain the consent of Zhenshitang.??, to establish a deeper mutual trust, please Daming complete the implementation of the Double Eleven Agreement one year in advance.
The "Double Eleven Agreement" signed in November of the 26th year of Longqing stipulates clear binding regulations on the border garrison of both sides, requiring that the troops stationed on the border be reduced by half in the 27th year and the remaining part by half in the 28th year. Finally, in the 29th year, all of them were evacuated within a hundred miles.
So far, the three-year withdrawal plan has not been completed. For example, the Songfan Guards at Baihe Ferry, with a guard of 3,000 men, retreated to the capital, and a guard of 3,000 men retreated to Long'an Mansion. The remaining Hongyuan garrison has also been restored. At Baihe Ferry, it is expected to retreat to Songzhou City next year.
Every time the two sides withdraw their troops, they notify the other side and ask the other side to send personnel to verify. Therefore, both sides are well aware of the situation of the troops stationed on the border.
There are still more than 16,000 Ming troops at the border with Beiyuan, 12,000 at the border with Xixia, and 6,000 at the border with Tubo, for a total of more than 34,000. people.
Don¡¯t underestimate these 34,000 people. In recent years, the Ming army has made great strides in improving its armaments, training a large number of military monks, and its combat power has increased year by year. Although it is only a small number of soldiers, it has held back 130,000 people from the three major Buddhist countries.
"If it were two years ago, the three major Buddhist countries would have deployed more than 300,000 troops on their borders all year round, which would have been extremely miserable.
As long as the Ming Dynasty evacuates these more than 30,000 people, Buddhism can deploy another 60,000 to 80,000 people to deal with the severe situation in the Western Regions.
After a brief discussion, Zhenshitang agreed to Tianlongyuan's request and decided to withdraw troops from the border immediately and complete the agreement ahead of schedule. Also because of the explanations of the two leaders who went to Lushan in person, everyone had a deeper understanding of the situation in the Western Regions and agreed to assign Zhao Ran to go to the front line to personally inspect the war situation.
