Tang's dining table

Chapter 399 Civil Ministers and Military Generals

"Otherwise, we don't need to take away the things in the city first, and then we can divide them equally after they are piled together?"

Yunchu came up with another solution.

This time, Guo Daifeng felt a little ashamed and cupped his hands toward Yun Chugong to express his approval.

"In this case, how about I let my younger brother take the lead in attacking the city and then enter the city first?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "That's very good. Then I will be responsible for cleaning the outside of Daxing City and observing the enemy formation for Brother Guo."

"Thank you, brother Yuchu. I owe you a favor."

Yun Chu smiled and said, "You must return this favor to me if you have the chance."

Guo Daifeng smiled and said: "It must be so."

Seeing that Guo Daifeng was about to leave, Yun Chu suddenly said: "In a valley thirty miles away from Dahang City, there is a Xiaomen Temple. I heard that there is a pagoda and three golden halls in the temple."

Guo Daifeng immediately stopped and looked at Yun Chu: "One tower and three golden halls?"

Yun Chu stared at the ground for a long time before saying, "There is some bad connection in this matter. Brother Guo should have known about it in advance."

Guo Daifeng asked doubtfully: "What kind of connection?"

Yunchu sighed and said: "It has some connection with Da Ci'en Temple."

"Is there any connection with Da Ci'en Temple?"

Yun Chu nodded and said: "The Xiangji Kitchen of Da Ci'en Temple has some monetary transactions with this Xiaomen Temple."

Guo Daifeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately said: "Brother Yu Chu is saying that Xiaomen Temple also has a Xiangji Kitchen?"

Yunchu sighed and said: "Before merchants from Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje go to Chang'an to do business, they will store a large amount of money in the Xiangji Kitchen of Xiaomen Temple, and then take the goods to Chang'an. If they need money , just take the voucher and withdraw it from the Xiangji Kitchen of Daci’en Temple.”

Guo Daifeng swallowed and said, "So..."

Yun Chu nodded with a somewhat reluctant expression.

Guo Daifeng naturally knew why Yunchu gave him such a good piece of fat, because Yunchu, the illegitimate son of Master Xuanzang, was really not easy to attack people in the Buddhist sect.

Even the temple in Goguryeo cannot be successful, otherwise it will be a betrayal of Buddhism and he will lose his greatest help, Buddhism.

However, Yun Chu couldn't bear to give up such a good opportunity to make a fortune, so he had to take advantage of him, an outsider who had no connection with Buddhism.

Anyway, it was the monks of Goguryeo who were massacred. In the court hall, it was a meritorious service.

"In that case, the siege..."

"I'll attack the city, and you can clean up the surrounding area. But, to be honest, I don't know anything."

Guo Daifeng said: "In this case, the harvest of Xiaomen Temple cannot be taken."

Yun Chu said calmly: "You can't touch the harvest in the city."

Guo Daifeng seemed to have become very smart, and said with a pair of bull eyes: "We must ensure that Xiaomen Temple's harvest exceeds that of Dahang City."

Yun Chu said lazily: "When the time comes, I will give you another chance to choose the trophies, Xiaomen Temple or Daxing City."

Guo Dai closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said: "I believe in Brother Yu Chu. No matter good or bad, I will choose Xiaomen Temple."

Yun Chu remained silent for a moment and said, "Be careful, the military force of Xiaomen Temple is not necessarily much weaker than that of Daxing City."

Guo Daifeng gritted his teeth and said, "I choose Xiaomen Temple!"

Yun Chu somewhat admired Guo Daifeng's decisive choice. Regardless of whether this person could become a successful person in the future, at least he was very decisive in making decisions. Especially this time, Yun Chu believed that he would have great success. The harvest, the harvest would even be so great that it would make him worse off than die.

After marching to a place thirty miles away from Dahang City, Guo Daifeng took his family and horses straight to Xiaomen Temple.

Seeing Guo Daifeng leading his men and horses towards Xiaomen Temple quickly, Wen Wen asked worriedly: "Will it stir up a hornet's nest?"

Yun Chu said: "It will definitely stir up a hornet's nest, and Guo Daifeng himself will not get much benefit."

Wen Wen asked puzzledly: "There is no money there?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "No, there is too much money there."

Wen Wen said: "If there is really any connection with Da Ci'en Temple, it is really not appropriate for you to take action."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If it was just a connection with Da Ci'en Temple, I would not wait to attack Xiaomen Temple.

I am worried about conflicts with the generals of the Eastern Expedition, the emperor, and the civil servants. The only thing I am not worried about is the conflict with Buddhism. "

Wen Wen asked puzzledly: "Is this a lot of money?"

Yunchu sighed and said: "One pagoda and three golden halls. The pagoda is a copper pagoda, cast in seven floors. Each floor has four seated Buddhas on four sides, weighing fifty-six thousand kilograms.

There are six golden Buddhas in the Sanjin Hall. Each golden Buddha weighs three thousand kilograms. The Xumizuo is made of silver and is very gorgeous. "

Wen Wen shook her head and said, "Why don't I know anything about this?"

Yun Chu laughed and said: "One time Naha was chatting with Master Xuanzang. Seeing that Master Xuanzang's life was very poor, she showed off to Master Xuanzang that she had a lot of money and asked Master Xuanzang if she wanted it. You can spend some money to improve the living environment of Master Xuanzang.

As a result, for some reason that day, Master Xuanzang, who always regarded money as dirt, became childish and argued with Naha, saying that Naha's little money was nothing at all. He also said that the little money in Daci'en Temple was nothing.

Naha felt that Master Xuanzang was lying to her and insisted that Master Xuanzang make it clear.

Then Master Xuanzang listed some of the wealthy temples he knew and introduced them to Naha.

Among them is Xiaomen Temple. He also clearly explained the furnishings in this seemingly secluded temple, but in fact it was the richest temple in Goguryeo, focusing on one pagoda and three golden halls.

That day, Naha came home very depressed. I asked him why he was so depressed. Naha said that I lied to her and always said that she was the richest girl in the world, but it turned out that she was not.

She also said that there were many people richer than her, and that the money she had was not as rich as that of a girl named Flounder.

You also know that Naha is good at everything, but has no knowledge. There are no flounder girls in this world.

One time I saw Master Queji and asked him who this rich flounder girl was, which made Master Queji burst into laughter.

It is said that more than two hundred years ago, King Fu Jian of Qin presented a large number of Buddhist statues, scriptures, and embroidered tents to the then King of Goguryeo, and he was accompanied by a monk named Adolai.

With the support of the King of Goguryeo, Monk Adolai established Xiaomen Temple and Iflan Temple in Weinayan City, the capital of Goguryeo at that time. These two temples became the Buddhist sect of Goguryeo.

Later, as the capital of Goguryeo continued to move southward, Xiaomen Temple also moved with it. Xiaomen Temple finally fell in the valley next to Dahang City by the Yalu River.

The girl Naha calls Flounder is not called Flounder either, she is called Bimu! She was the auspicious goddess of Xiaomen Temple fifty years ago.

This woman is very extraordinary. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo, she supported the King of Goguryeo with 10,000 kilograms of gold at one time. She also called on merchants from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla to provide materials, food and grass for the King of Goguryeo.

Let the Goguryeo people unite to resist Yang Guang. It is because of this that Yang Guang's campaign to conquer Goguryeo ended in a huge defeat.

That's why Master Xuanzang said that Naha's little money was not worth mentioning in front of others.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, merchants from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla began to do business with the Tang Dynasty.

In order to facilitate the exchange of money, merchants in Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla were accustomed to deposit money in the Xiangji Kitchen of the Tang Temple, and then withdraw it from Xiaomen Temple.

Or deposit the money in Xiaomen Temple and withdraw it from the Xiangji Kitchen in the temple designated by the Tang Dynasty.

How much do you think such a temple should cost? "

Wen Wen frowned and said, "The Tang Dynasty is currently at war with Goguryeo. If the Tang Temple still does this, it is suspected of siding with the enemy."

Yun Chu spread his hands and said, "Buddha is connected to Buddha and has no hindrance to the world. This is what Master Guiji told me. People who think they live in a Buddhist country have long since jumped out of the Three Realms and are no longer in the Five Elements."

Wen Wenwen said with a gloomy face: "So, when we strive to attack Daxing City this time, the actual target is Xiaomen Temple?"

Yun Chu smiled and said, "Do you feel any psychological discomfort?"

Wen Wen shook her head and said: "At present, I have abandoned the simple thinking of a military commander and started to think about problems with the thinking of a civil servant."

Yunchu laughed and said: "That's right, destroying Xiaomen Temple is equivalent to destroying the economic exchanges between Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla and the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that the benefits this time are too huge, and we can't be silent. Therefore, there will be many people taking advantage of it, and our power is too small, and we will have to face the backlash from Buddhism.

The benefits and efforts were unreasonable, so I gave up in the end, but what? Since this Xiaomen Temple dared to go against the Tang Dynasty, it was just right to use Guo Daifeng's power to eliminate this hidden disaster. "

Wen Wen added: "If according to what you said, there is a copper pagoda, a silver lotus seat, and a golden Buddha, how should Guo Daifeng take it away?"

Yunchu laughed and said: "It was because of this issue that I gave up on Xiaomen Temple. The copper pagoda with hundreds of thousands of kilograms cast separately, the golden Buddha weighing several thousand kilograms, and the magnificent Xumi Zuo. It's almost gone." It is a miracle created by craftsmen.

Naturally, such things cannot be destroyed, they can only be dismantled, dragged to the seaside by an army, then transported to warships, and finally transported back to Chang'an.

There is no way to cover up such a big project.

Once things start to get official, those secret things that the military generals tacitly approved in private can no longer be done.

Generally speaking, it is beneficial to the country, but it is not worth the loss for the individual.

We are all very ordinary people who can only enjoy some very ordinary blessings and endure some very ordinary disasters.

We cannot bear such great blessings and great joy as Xiaomen Temple. "

After listening to Yun Chu's words, Rou Wen nodded and said, "Since it's not something we can touch, then don't touch it.

Get ready to attack Dahang City. I hope this city can give us bigger surprises. "

Yunchu laughed loudly, shook his head, and threw the copper pagoda, golden Buddha, and silver pedestal out of his head. He looked at Daxing City in front of him and shouted loudly: "Come here and persuade us to surrender!"
