Yu Yue stared in surprise and opened his mouth. He shook his head in disbelief and said, "I didn't expect that a monk who always claimed to be compassionate would do such a thing. Isn't Kumarajiva a holy monk? He actually took the initiative to spread the plague on the grassland. ?I don’t believe it!”
The black robe smiled slightly: "It's because people like you who are full of intrigues and bad ideas can't think of this, and those ordinary grassland shepherds can't even think of it. They think that Buddhist disciples are here to preach and spread blessings, not to mention that they bring cattle Sheep, coming to exchange for the people of the Later Qin Dynasty who were plundered by them is a matter of benefit and virtue. Who would have thought that these cattle and sheep would be infected with diseases and then pollute the water sources and pastures? The holy monk is a literate person, cooperate with me , and also mastered the secret methods of causing diseases on the grassland, isn't this killing two birds with one stone?"
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "You are so terrible. So, the disease Liu Yu got in Guanggu was also your work?"
The black robe curled up his lips: "Yes, but that can only delay part of the time, because Liu Muzhi is very powerful. He has already found the source of the disease and started treatment. In three months at most, Liu Yu's army will be gone Most of them have recovered, so Liu Yu wrote a letter asking Liu Yi not to attack for the time being, just to delay his army's recovery. For this reason, he did not hesitate to give up his official position as general of the town army with the order of minister."
Yu Yue frowned: "Shouldn't we only have one Jingzhou governor and a cavalry general?"
The black robe smiled and said: "That's just because we tried to tamper with the edict. It's a long story, so I won't elaborate on it. However, your response should have seen the power of the Buddha, which was enough to make the Later Qin Dynasty... Overcoming the crisis for Hu Xia to invade Guanzhong, if the Later Qin Dynasty could do it, our Jin Dynasty can do it too!
Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "But you can't spread the plague among demons and thieves this time, and you won't let the followers of Tianshi Tao turn to Buddhism again!"
The black robe said calmly: "But this time we have troops from the Later Qin?! After the Later Qin repelled the Hu Xia attack and passed the crisis, it freed up hundreds of thousands of troops. Now it is in the Luoyang area of the Central Plains, but More than 50,000 soldiers and horses were assembled. These were not Gou Jie's Longyou tribe, but the elite Guanzhong troops who had just fought against Hu Xia. They were also led by the famous general Yao Shao and had defeated Hu Xia's army many times. Originally, this army was used to defend against Liu Yu, but this time, it can be used as a reinforcement for the Jin Dynasty as a big favor!"
Yu Yue frowned: "Even if Yao Shao's soldiers and horses can come, it is impossible for Da Jin to invite them over. He is just taking advantage of the situation to rob them. I believe in attacking Yongzhou and Yuzhou, but if they want to save Da Jin, I will Yao Xing wouldn't do such a thing." Heipao said with a smile: "Just because Yao Xing gave Liu Yu a favor and gave the land of the twelve counties of Nanyang to Liu Yu, you can conclude that Yao Xing won't Are you going to help Da Jin one more time?"
Yu Yue nodded: "Of course, if a person suffers a loss once, he will not suffer a second time. What's more, Liu Yu and Yao Xing have fallen out with each other a long time ago. It would be nice if Yao Xing didn't come to beat him. Why would he send troops to help him? ? Besides, Yao Xing had already helped Huan Qian before and sent Gou Jie there..."
When he said this, he suddenly realized something. There was a sense of ridicule in his eyes when he looked at the black robe. He immediately understood and murmured: "What you mean are traitors like Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi." ? Later Qin can send troops to resist the demon thieves in their name without Liu Yu's consent?" Heipao smiled and nodded: "Don't say that traitors are not traitors, just like Sima Guofan, who was fighting in the south Before Yan, he was still a general of the Su Wei Army, but because of Liu Yu's exclusion, it was difficult to join the country and return home. The same was true for Sima Chuzhi. His father died for the country, but Liu Yu forced him to He did not even inherit his father's title, deprived him of his clan status and forced him to rebel. Liu Yu took advantage of the great power in his hands to attack dissidents and eliminate the clan kings. He had a disobedient heart. In this Jin Dynasty, At this critical moment, these exiled Sima clan led friendly troops to defend their homes and the country. What reasons and excuses did Liu Yu have to stop him?!" Yu Yue gritted his teeth: "But it is impossible for the Later Qin Dynasty to do nothing without the benefits. Please help."
The black robe sneered and said: "This is easy. When the time comes, we can transfer some of the Southern Yan lands that Liu Yu occupied to Hou Qin. Anyway, it was Liu Yu who went against everyone's opinions and sent troops to gain the land for himself. This will weaken Liu Yu's strength. Moreover, back then Liu Jingxuan and Gao Ya
In addition, Sima Xiuzhi and others had fled to Nanyan and were protected by Murong De at that time. Isn't it the same for Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi now? If you want to give Liu Yu a step down, say that they have performed meritorious service for their crimes. As long as the army of the Later Qin Dynasty can block the way of the Heavenly Master, they can atone for their sins. Liu Yu himself did this to Liu Jingxuan, and he did not allow the princes of the Sima clan to perform meritorious service themselves. Effective? ! "
A smile gradually appeared on Yu Yue's face: "This is indeed a clever move, but in this way, Sima Guofan and Sima Chuzhi will have made contributions, and what good will it do to our noble family?"
The black robe smiled and said: "Don't you know how much these two guys weigh? They are just two idiots. They just borrowed their names to introduce the forces of the Later Qin and Buddhism. If Tianshi Dao If it is blocked, you can also take the opportunity to spread the word that the Buddha appears, is compassionate, and saves all living beings. People in the world cannot live just by Liu Yu's way of winning military titles. The vast majority of people do not want war or war. Risking one's life to gain wealth, all one wants is to live in peace and stability. Liu Yu cannot give such a hope, but Buddhism can.
Yu Yue frowned: "I don't know much about Buddhist theory. I just heard that they emphasize karma, reincarnation, etc. Can this be used to give people hope and avoid war?"
The black robe smiled slightly: "Yes, this theory is actually very powerful. The Taoist and Lao-Zhuang theories cannot deceive people, because you talk about cultivating immortals every day. At least you can cultivate immortality, but in fact, which ordinary people can Those who cultivate immortality? Aren’t they all working hard all their lives and dying young? Even the children of your aristocratic families, who are regarded as half-immortals to them, will inevitably die in the end. Who can truly become an immortal? This kind of obvious circle If you lie too much, you won’t be able to deceive people, and this is your Achilles’ heel!”
"But Buddhism is different. They talk about cause and effect, and reincarnation. This cause and effect is not retribution in this life, but the next life. No one knows what a person will look like after death, and no one has seen it, so there is no risk of being exposed as a lie. Why did even those fierce barbarians on the grassland believe this in the end?"
