Chapter 278: Heavy Losses?

Therefore, Wu Zetian wants to be the emperor, whether it is legal or not, she must at least have a reason, and come up with one thing to prove that the woman's claim to be emperor is recognized by God.

So the monks at that time seized this opportunity and forged the "Great Cloud Sutra" (not the "Great Cloud Sutra", the "Great Cloud Sutra" really has this book, which originally existed in history, and the "Great Cloud Sutra" is forged), implying that Wu Zetian is the reincarnation of Maitreya Bodhisattva, and to become a queen, everyone in the world will worship and submit.

So with this excuse, Wu Zetian ignored the opposition of the people in the world, and naturally ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Emperor and became the peerless empress.

After becoming the emperor, Wu Zetian treated the people of Buddhism well and rewarded them many times, and since then Buddhism has entered a prosperous era.

This is not enough, what is even more excessive is that Buddhism has repeatedly fooled the emperor into becoming a monk. Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan is definitely a Ming monarch, but just because Buddhism successfully fooled Xiao Yan 'many times' (this number of times to be circled, and it should be used during the exam) into the monastery to become a monk, the country is as ownerless as a snake without a head, without the emperor to take the lead, who is still in the mood to deal with the government? The ministers had to donate a large amount of money every time to 'redeem' Xiao Yan, which caused huge financial pressure on the imperial court.

Another example is Emperor Shunzhi, although he is very unpleasant to the braid emperor, but as a generation of kings, he is the master of the country, and he was fooled into going to Wutai Mountain to become an emperor, it is better for Xiao Yan - Xiao Yan was also 'ransomed', but this one never came back, and handed over the huge empire to a six-year-old doll, if it weren't for Kangxi's true strength, and the support of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, maybe the Qing Dynasty would really be taken away by Aobai.

If he can really usurp power successfully, a reckless man will govern the country, which will definitely lead to the destruction of the lives and the government to force the people to rebel, maybe the Han people will be able to take back the country two hundred years in advance (every time I think about this, Ben San will be so heartbroken that I can't sleep at night ())......

As for the examples of monks interfering with the government, there are even more examples, but it's a pity that Li Zhen is from a science and engineering background and doesn't know much about history, otherwise he would have to add some precautions to Buddhism.

It's a pity that he doesn't know about these things, although he hates Buddhism, but he still hates them for not working, and he still fools the people into not working, not believing in this life and believing in the next life. But hate it, but he doesn't hate it to the extent that he wants to destroy it, after all, there are still some places in Buddhism that are very desirable, but it's a pity that Li Zhen has no intention of destroying Buddha, but Buddhism is harmful to Li Zhen......

I have to say that this move of the family is indeed ruthless enough, if Li Zhen is really fighting against the Confucianism of the family, when it is difficult to solve the problem, the Buddhism suddenly kills, maybe it will really disrupt Li Zhen's position, so as to lose the opportunity to win, and the conspiracy of the family may really be realized......

But it's a pity, there is a way that people are not as good as heaven, just like Li Zhen has no precautions against Buddhism, and the family also misses a thing, and it is the bad one, not only did not let Li Zhen suffer a loss, but made himself almost wiped out......

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the five-day celebration had passed, and all the young soldiers were still a little unsatisfied, but they also knew that this was wartime, and it was already good to have five days of revelry, and they couldn't ask for more.

At this time, after five days of rest, the young army has completely raised its spirit, and it has shown its fierce attack power at the beginning, but in less than two days, the city wall of Tonglu City has been completely bombed into a pile of ruins, followed by a tragic street battle......

Another three days passed, and the street fighting finally ended, and the 30,000 vanguard troops were defeated and fled, with more than 20,000 dead, and finally only less than 2,000 routs escaped from Tonglu City. However, after destroying 30,000 vanguard troops, the Young Army itself was also not happy, with more than 5,000 casualties, countless material losses, and more than 10,000 shells alone.

Today's youth army can be described as sleepy and lacking, although the food is not exhausted, but the ammunition is really exhausted.

In the face of such a heavy loss, even Li Zhen couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted in grief to look down on people......

At the right time, Xue Rengui, the new commander of the Boys' Army, decided to lead the army to retreat, trying to use space in exchange for time, while earning a breather for the Boys' Army, he was also waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

However......

When they retreated, they suddenly found that the valley at a certain place on the way back had been cut off by the waist at some point—you must know that this was the only place to go back, and if you want to make a detour, it will take hundreds of miles more. In the same way, without this road, if the reinforcements want to successfully rescue Li Zhen, they must also walk hundreds of miles......

In the face of such a desperate situation, no matter how elite the young army is, it can't help but make an uproar, and it almost leads to a mutiny......

Fortunately, Li Zhen, the king of Yue, appeared in time, which can be regarded as appeasing the young army, but at this time, the back road of the young army was cut off, and there was a strong enemy on the front road, and it had fallen into the situation of nine deaths and one life.

"According to our intelligence, the Junior Army definitely has no more than 10,000 soldiers to fight at this time. But don't think that this will be an easy way to beat the boy army. As the saying goes, the mourning army will win, and the youth army at this time is a mourning army in a desperate situation, if the king wants to rely on the tactics of crowds to exterminate the youth army, then you had better be prepared to lose at least 100,000 people. Luo Tianyuan sat in a wheelchair, stroking the broken leg, his eyes flashing with hatred, and at the same time kept introducing the recent situation. He was almost captured alive by the Young Army when Tonglu City fell, but fortunately, with the help of his henchmen, he was lucky to get out of Tonglu City alive and was not discovered by the Young Army, which is a blessing in misfortune.

At this time, he was briefing the king of Chenla, Bafa Valman, about the situation in Tonglu City, and at the same time made a preliminary estimate of the next damage.

Around him, there are Zhenla people with different faces, but judging from the way they dress, it is obvious that they are either rich or expensive, in fact, this is indeed the case, these people are all nobles of Zhenla country, and each of them is from the battlefield. In other words, most of those who can sit here have real skills, and those who don't have the ability are not qualified to sit here.

And everyone's eyes looked at the person sitting on the highest position with reverence - this person was between thirty and forty years old, looked stable and mature, and looked like a handsome uncle with a successful career.

In fact, this person can indeed be regarded as a successful career, he is the lord of the Chenla Kingdom, King Bafa Walman, the greatest monarch in the history of the Chenla Kingdom, and the first absolute king to unify the Cambodian region.
