There was dead silence in the handsome hall. When Yu Wenshu saw the serious faces of everyone, he knew that there was a major military situation, but he did not dare to mention Master Zhiyi's matter, so he sat aside silently.

Yang Guang, the king of Jin, was sitting in the middle. When he saw all the generals gathered, he said with a serious face:"I just received an urgent report from the road. The leader of the Gusu bandits, Shen Xuanzao (wèi), is now leading the rebel bandits to march eastward. Danyang is in danger. Seeing the troops approaching the city, like this What can you do?"

Pei Yun said:"You can write to Yang Su, the Duke of Yue, and order him to dispatch reinforcements to Jiankang."

"Well, but is it too late?"

Zhuge Ying said:"The Duke of Yue is still in eastern Zhejiang, and there is still some distance to go to help Heyang. Your Highness needs to send a group of troops to attack immediately to stop the rebels in advance. Yang

Guangzheng also thought so, and said to Yang Hong, the king of Hejian:"I would like to ask the prince of Hejian to take command, and Yu Juzhan as his deputy. We will go out immediately. We must not let the thieves pass Danyang.""

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will immediately mobilize troops to stop the rebels!"Hejian King Yang Hong received the military order and immediately got up to order troops to go out.

Jiankang didn't have many soldiers and horses, only more than 20,000 people. Hejian King Yang Hong and Yu Juzan ordered 10,000 people and went straight to Danyang Mansion. As mentioned earlier, the name of the governor who guarded Danyang was Huang Ke. The general was a powerful and powerful man, with two civil and military officials. He defended the city tightly and the city was in a state of emergency for several days. He waited hard for reinforcements from the King of Hejian Yang Hong and the general Yu Juzan. , I was overjoyed.

The reinforcements entered Danyang City, and everyone accompanied Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, to the top of the city to watch the rebels outside the city. Huang Ke said to Yang Hong:"Old prince, please look, the thieves are camping in the east of the city. It seems that there are thirty thousand people. The old prince must fight decisively as soon as possible, otherwise the delay will be long and the food and grass will be exhausted.

Yu Ju Zan said:"What's so difficult about this?" When the battle starts tomorrow, I will personally call the battle formation and I will kill everyone without leaving any trace behind."

Huang Ke said:"General, never underestimate the enemy. Among the thieves, there is a general named Xu Feixiong. He is very powerful and brave, and he has a hundred-jin sword. He is unmatched."

"If there is such a person, I will fight Sanlili with him to determine the male and female!"

Yu Ju Zan boasted to Haikou that he would fight Xu Feixiong. At dawn the next day, the gates of Danyang City were wide open, and Huang Ke was watching the battle at the top of the city. Hejian King Yang Hong personally went into battle, with Yu Ju Zan and General Quan Wu on his left and right. The rebel army also They poured out of the camp gate and formed a formation.

The yellow sand attacked and the war drums were deafening. Yu Ju Zan came out in front of the two armies to call for battle. Shen Xuanyao (wèi), the leader of the rebel army, saw that Yu Ju Zan was eight feet tall and had a purple-black face. He has evil eyes, a wide nose and a big mouth, a short beard like a thorn, a red phoenix facing the sun helmet on his head, a purple gold heart armor, a war horse named Spotted Leopard under his crotch, and a spiked mace in his hand. He has a fierce momentum. Knowing that he was a general.

Shen Xuanzhao looked at this man and thought to himself that this big man was by no means an ordinary person. He only heard Xu Feixiong beside him say:"This black guy is rampant. In the eyes of a certain family, he is not a big deal. Let me kill him." His head is presented to the leader"

"Okay, let’s beat the drum to help!"Shen Xuanzhao said.

Xu Feixiong has broad shoulders, a big butt and a round waist. His face is like a plague god. He has no helmet or armor. His upper body is only covered with a short cowhide armor, lined with a short skirt.

He only saw the stirrup knocking, and raised a hundred-jin sword. When they go out to fight, the two fight, like two tigers fighting each other, like two beasts fighting each other. There is no winner or loser in the fifty rounds of the battle. This is: the tiger going up the mountain meets the tiger coming down the mountain. The confrontation between evil men is more powerful.

The fierce autumn wind blows the heroes. , and heard the sound of the ground urging the drums.

Yu Juzan fought against Xu Feixiong. The two villains were extremely brave. The fight was so dark that the sky was dark and the earth was dark. After a hundred rounds, it was difficult to tell the winner.

When Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, was watching the battle, suddenly something happened Malay News:"General Mai Tiezhang has arrived thirty miles south of the city on the orders of Yang Su, Duke of Yue."When he learned that the reinforcements were coming, Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, had a plan in mind and immediately sent an order to withdraw his troops. The Sui army ordered them to withdraw their troops. Yu Ju Zan had no choice but to feign the mace and retreat in defeat.

The army withdrew to Danyang City, and Yu Ju Zan complained. Said:"Why do you want me to pay for the gold? If we fight for ten more rounds, maybe I can kill those bears." Yang

Hong said with a smile:"General, don't be anxious. Xu Feixiong is a brave and foolhardy man. I will order you to fight another fifty rounds tomorrow.""

"Why wait until tomorrow?"

"The Duke of Yue had already anticipated this and had sent Mai Tiezhang to come to his aid."

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. Yang Hong withdrew his troops and closed the city. He immediately wrote a secret letter to Mai Tiezhang, agreeing to attack the rebel army together at noon tomorrow. Sure enough, the next day, Yu Juzan went into battle again, and Yang Hong Hong grabbed Yu Ju Zan and said:"The general occupied fifty rounds, then he pretended to be defeated and withdrew. Although Yu Juzhan was reluctant, he had no choice but to obey the order.

Yu Juzhan urged his horse out of the city and came to the front of the formation. When he saw that Xu Feixiong had been waiting for a long time, he roared loudly:"Xu Gouxiong!" Xu Xiong! Come and fight to the death with Grandpa!"

When Xu Feixiong heard someone scolding him as a bear, he became furious. He picked up a hundred-jin sword, grabbed the horse's rein, and went out to fight. The two fought again, and they were inseparable.

After fifty rounds, Yu Zan was exhausted. He waved his stick and hurriedly withdrew. Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, immediately sent an order to withdraw his troops. Xu Feixiong was overjoyed and cursed in front of the formation, challenging the Sui army.

Seeing that noon was approaching, Yang Hong had already laid out wine and food for Yu Ju Zan and said to Yu Ju Zan :"The general may eat and drink as much as he can, and then go and fight him when he is full.""

"good!"When Yu Guzhan saw that he had all the food and wine he liked to eat on weekdays, he wolfed down the food and wine, eating and drinking. He felt so at ease. In a short time, Yu Guzhan wiped out the table full of wine and meat.

Xu Feixiong cursed outside for a long time, but saw no one. He dared to fight, but he felt tired. Seeing that noon was approaching, he was ready to return to the camp for dinner. He saw Yu Juzan standing at the top of the city and shouting:"Do you dare to fight me again?" Xu

Feixiong suddenly became excited and responded:"Come down to the city quickly and fight a decisive battle with a certain family!""

Yu Juzhan and Xu Feixiong fought again for twenty rounds. Yu Juzhan was full of food and wine, but Xu Feixiong was empty. His physical strength could not withstand Yu Juzhan. Xu Feixiong fought and retreated, and no one was able to fight. When he paid attention, he was hit by Yu Ju Zan's mace, Tianling. His face was covered with blood, and he fell off his horse and died.

The leader of the rebellion, Shen Xuanyu, was preparing wine and food to celebrate Xu Feixiong's victory in the camp. When he learned that Xu Feixiong had died in front of the battle, he did not bother to eat. , hurriedly picked up the sword and mounted the horse to fight in front of the battle.

Before leaving the camp, they suddenly heard the inevitable shouts of killing everywhere, and the southern camp was in chaos. Yang Hong, the king of Hejian, and Huang Ke looked at the top of the city from a distance. It turned out that Mai Tiezhang led the reinforcements to kill. Yang Hong was overjoyed. , said:"Instruct the three armies to storm the enemy camp."

The war drums sounded and the cannons were launched into the air. King Yang Hong of Hejian, Yu Ju Zan, and Quan Wu led their troops and horses to rush towards the enemy camp. They attacked with Mai Tiezhang twice. The rebel army was defeated. Shen Xuanzao was shocked and had to lead his troops. Withdrew to the east and retreated to Gusu. This is how it is: chaos and war broke out in the east of the Yangtze River, and the two sides held a strong position.

There have been countless wars over the years, and no matter how many battles were fought, how many achievements were made.

The king of Hejian, Yang Hong, reported a good news from Danyang, and a quick horse He was sent to Jiankang that day. Pei Yun, who stayed in Jiankang, took the urgent report of victory and hurried to the palace and said:"Congratulations, Your Highness, for the great victory in Danyang. The rebels have retreated to Gusu.""

"oh?" Jin Wang Yang Guang was overjoyed. He took the battle report and read it, saying hello repeatedly.

The former enemy fought for several days, and Yang Guang's face was like a dark cloud. When he saw his face suddenly turned from gloomy to clear, Yu Wen on the side said:"The crusade is now over. Victory brings peace of mind. But the recruitment has not yet been completed, so why not recruit Master Zhiyi?

Yang Guangdao:"That's right. The previous Yuwenshu failed to recruit talents. Master Zhiyi is so proud. This time I will go to recruit talents myself.""

Yuwenshu immediately arranged his trip. King Yang Guang of Jin went to Guangzhai Temple in person, followed by Yuwenshu and Pei Yun. The second time Yang Guang came to visit, Guangzhai Temple had changed a lot after three days, although the damage was still there. It was still vivid in my mind, but it had been cleaned up a lot by the monks who returned to the temple.

The soldiers of the King of Jin were divided into two teams in the temple to avoid others. Zhiyi's disciples initiated the monk and quickly came out of the hall to greet him. After the initiation, Yang Guangyan said:" The poor monk came here specifically to welcome the thousand-year-old king of Jin.

Yang Guang asked,"Is Master Zhiyi in the temple?""

The initiation said:"Master knew that His Highness was coming and was waiting for the king in the back hall."

"Okay, lead the way."The great monk took the initiation and led Jin Wang Yang Guang, Zuo Shuzi Yu Wenshu, and left-behind Pei Yun to the back hall. At this time, Zhiyi had finished worshiping the Buddha and was meditating in the Buddhist hall, quietly studying Buddhist scriptures. Yang Guang walked lightly into the Buddha Hall. In the hall, Zhiyi clearly heard the movement, but acted as if he hadn't heard it and didn't look at it.

Seeing that Zhiyi didn't move, Yang Guang put away his Jinwang style, clasped his hands together, bowed and said:"Huainan Daoxingtai, Yangzhou Yang Guang, the general manager, paid a visit to Master Zhiyi. Master

Zhiyi closed his eyes slightly and said without even looking,"It turns out to be His Highness the King of Jin. Is he asking for an autograph or offering incense?"

Yang Guang said:"I neither ask for fortune-telling nor offer incense. Instead, I would like to invite the master to come out and perform a ritual ceremony for the people of Jiangnan.""

"Amitabha. Zhiyi said:"I can do the Dharma work well, but I can't do it falsely." Yu Wenshu, who was following Yang Guang, heard this and defended himself

:"The master told lies... where can we start talking about this?"…."

Yang Guang stopped Yu Wenshu with his hand, and Yang Guang added:"I have reestablished Buddhism in Jiangnan, released the monks of Guangzhai Temple, and provided incense and money. How can I dare to lie in front of the Buddha?"

Zhiyi said:" More than 400 temples in the south of the Yangtze River have caused disasters. The pardon for the Guangzhai Temple family is not just a favor to the old man, right?"

"oh……"When Zhiyi said this to Yang Guang, he lost his face and felt ashamed. Yang Guang said:"What the master said is reasonable. I sincerely promote Buddhism. It's just that my behavior was abrupt. I hope you can forgive me."

Zhiyi said:"Although There are many sects of Buddhism and the lineage is complicated. However, in the vast Jiangnan, how can we only leave a small Guangzhai Temple and hope that His Highness can save all sentient beings?"

"Um."Yang Guang knew that Zhiyi was profound in Buddhism and could talk about matters as well as few others, so he listened to Zhiyi's words with an open mind, waved his hand, and led everyone to leave Guangzhai Temple. After leaving Guangzhai Temple,

Yang Guang said to the people on the left and right He said:"Zhi Yi saw that my intentions were dishonest and that I had lost face. It seems that this old monk is really difficult to deal with.

Pei Yun said:"Your Highness doesn't want to release all the monks in the city, right?""

"Humph," Yang Guang said with a smile,"Just as you guessed, I don't want to let this old monk find fault.

Yu Wenshu said:"I think this old monk is full of crooked scriptures and will never let him go." Yang Guang only wanted to shake Zhiyi and did not take Yu Wenshu's words to heart.

King Yang Guang of Jin returned to the palace and summoned all the officials to discuss the matter of reviving Buddhism. Yang Guang said:"I have decided that from now on, Release all captured monks and close down all inspected temples. Pei

Yun said:"Your Highness, at first the Emperor was determined to reduce Buddhism and promote Confucianism. Now His Highness is reviving Buddhism. Should you first ask the Emperor to see what the Holy Will is?"

Yang Guang hesitated and muttered silently:"This is also true."……"

At the same time, Yu Wenshu hurriedly stood up and said:"It was the prince who strongly advocated the reduction of Buddhism and the promotion of Confucianism. If the report is sent thousands of miles away, and the prince blows the wind from the emperor's ears again, then the restoration of Buddhism will inevitably be abandoned halfway."

When mentioning the prince Yang Yong , , Yang Guang's heart flashed, and he felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Yang Guang's hesitant eyes fell on Zhuge Ying:"Mr. Zhuge, how do you think it is appropriate to deal with this matter?"

Zhuge Ying said:"If we continue to break it, we will have to deal with it in the future. Chaos. At the beginning, the emperor had given permission to revive Buddhism, so there was no need to look forward or backward. If the prince interfered, it would be disadvantageous. Now His Highness only uses Guangzhai Temple as a show, how can he convince the public? It is better to rebuild the Buddhist temple as soon as possible without hesitation."

Listen. Zhuge Ying's words seemed like a reassurance to Yang Guang, and he immediately ordered Pei Yun, who was left behind in Jiankang, to release the monks in other temples in custody, and also ordered the states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River to release monks and start Buddhist services.

For three days in a row, the government and soldiers stopped sealing the monastery and forced the monks to return to secular life. All the monks arrested by the government were released, and there seemed to be signs of returning to normal in the gloomy and turbulent Jiankang City. The people in the city worshiped Buddha and worshiped as usual, and were free to come and go, and the government no longer controlled them.

A few days later, the various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, which had received the handwriting of the King of Jin, competed to release monks and lift the ban on monasteries. People everywhere could still offer incense and worship Buddha, and the court no longer forced people to make things difficult. More than 400 temples have restored fireworks one after another, and people's hearts have become more stable. The resurgence of Buddhism is like a renewal of all things, as evidenced by"Jiangnan Spring" written by Tang Dynasty poet Du Mu:

Orioles are singing in thousands of miles, green is reflected in red, and wine flags are blowing in the mountains and rivers.

There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and there are many towers in the mist.
