Elder Fu Hu, who had nothing to do with himself, changed his expression upon hearing this.

He said in a panic, "Prime Minister Zuo, you said Li Jue went to Leshan?"

Chen Ping nodded and said, "It was your nephew Master Jinchi who invited him to Leshan as a guest. I don't know whether Master Jinchi knows Li Jue's identity."

Elder Fu Hu's eyes flickered, and his heart turned like electricity.

He can be sure that Jin Chi definitely does not know Li Jue's identity, otherwise, even if Jin Chi is given 100 courage, he would never dare to invite Li Jue to Leshan.

Even if Jin Chi knew Li Jue's identity, he would just run away.

Elder Fu Hu looked solemn, turned around and clasped his fists and said, "King of Han, Li Jue must have gone to Leshan to provoke trouble. He wants to trouble my Buddhist sect. Please also ask King of Han to send troops to wipe him out immediately. This opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come again. .”

Liu Bang sneered in his heart, this Fuhu monk actually wanted him to send troops to die.

He wished Li Jue would fight with the Buddhist sect, because through Xiao He, he already knew how powerful the gods and Buddhas in the sky were, and he also knew that there were as many monks in the Western Paradise as there were cow hairs, and the strong were like clouds.

I also know that the 18 elders in Leshan are actually the famous Eighteen Arhats in the Lingshan Mountain of Western Heaven, and the Elder Crouching Tiger in front of me is the extremely powerful Arhat Crouching Tiger.

In Leshan, there is a more powerful Daoji elder, who is actually the legendary Arhat who subdued the dragon.

Although it is said that the eighteen arhats only have the status of arhat, their strength is no longer inferior to any bodhisattva in Buddhism. The most powerful subduing dragon and subduing tiger, the two arhats even have the strength of Buddha.

Xiao He has secretly told Liu Bang more than once that if there is an opportunity, he must make good use of the power of Buddhism.

Now that Li Jue came to Chengdu and came to trouble Leshan again, Liu Bang didn't know how happy he was to be able to make them fight against each other.

But he couldn't laugh, and he couldn't refuse Elder Fu Hu's proposal, otherwise, if Elder Fu Hu ran away with the monk, he would be alone.

Liu Bangdao: "What the elder said is very true. I will immediately send 10,000 elite soldiers to assist Leshan's defense. If Li Jue resists in a corner, I will kill him."

Crouching Tiger Arhat was taken aback.

To send 10,000 elite soldiers?

This manpower is not as large as the number of believers in Leshan Daily, and sending them over is just a gift of heads.

Just when he was going to argue with reason and hoped that Liu Bang would send 300,000 troops, Xiao He was beside him.

"Elder Fu Hu, the King of Han also has a hard time to tell. It is already very rare to send 10,000 elite soldiers. Because Li Jue is by no means alone in Chengdu, there is a high possibility that other spies will be mixed in. The front line must also cooperate with him. actions, so there is no way to mobilize more troops."

Liu Bang also nodded quickly and said, "Yes, there is nothing I can do to help. There are 18 elders and 72 eminent monks in Leshan. It is absolutely no problem to block a mere Li Jue."

Elder Fu Hu was a little angry in his heart. They came from Lingshan, tried their best, and even faced the danger of the wrath of heaven and people, and their actions made Daqin nothing.

It can be said that bad things must be done, and their merits may even be damaged, and they must help the King of Han to deal with Tyranny.

Unexpectedly, Liu Bang would not save him, and at the critical moment when Li Jue went to Leshan, he even sent only 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Liu Bang also seemed to know that just sending out 10,000 soldiers and horses was likely to attract dissatisfaction from Buddhism.

So dispatching a general, Qu Chenghou Chongda, was the one with the lowest sense of presence selected by Liu Bang after careful consideration from the only dozen remaining generals.

And Qu Chenghou Chongda, who was named by Liu Bang, was so frightened that his hands and feet were cold, his body swayed, and he wanted to kneel on the ground and say that he was sick.

At this moment, he would rather send troops to attack Xianyang than go to Leshan.

It was Xiao He who glared at him and signaled him to take orders and lead the troops away, which made Qu Chenghou Chongda restrain his panic.

Elder Fu Hu saw that Liu Bang only sent 10,000 troops, and he already understood Liu Bang's intentions. If he continued to be stubborn, it would only add a few thousand more troops, which would not help.

But at this time, his heart was in Leshan, so he hugged his fists and said goodbye.

He even wanted to take revenge on Liu Bang and take away more than a dozen lay disciples in Khan Palace, but what shocked him was that these lay disciples expressed that they would stay in Han Palace to protect Han King Zhou Quan.

For a while, Elder Fu Hu understood the dangers of the world, and he understood even more that they, the confidantes around the foreign monk Liu Bang, were trained to become masters, after all, they were making wedding dresses for others.

For these lay disciples, they only yearn for the powerful power in Buddhism. For these lay disciples, it doesn't matter whether they practice Taoism or Buddhism, as long as they can be strong.

In terms of loyalty to the emperor or loyalty to the religion, it is obvious that these disciples chose the former.

This also made Elder Fu Hu understand one thing, Han Wang Liu Bang did not completely trust them from the beginning, so he has always been firmly in the hands of these lay disciples.

However, Elder Fu Hu didn't have time to pursue these details. Anyway, they came here from Xitian to help Liu Bang fight for the throne.

As long as the overall goal does not change, that's fine. As for their Buddhism being used by Liu Bang, it doesn't hurt much.

Elder Fu Hu left angrily.

Qu Chenghou was also comforted by Liu Bang and Xiao He, asking him to bring 10,000 soldiers to Leshan to help out, as long as he waved the flag and shouted, he could not attack rashly.

This is what made Qu Chenghou a little more at ease, he was really worried that Liu Bang would treat him as cannon fodder.

But no one noticed that Prime Minister Zuo Chen Ping was still holding Xia Houying's body, and everyone noticed it after everything was arranged properly.

Liu Bang got up and started his magic stick performance. First, he came to Chen Ping, took Xia Houying's body and put it on the ground, and he burst into tears.

The scene of weeping bitterly made the ministers of civil and military affairs all feel sad, and they felt more awe and loyalty to Liu Bang for a while.

After all, it is the dream of all ministers to be able to follow such a monarch who is sympathetic to his subordinates and can disregard his health and cry bitterly for the death of his subordinates.

It has to be said that Xiao He is the best wingman beside Liu Bang, seeing this situation is also a way of comfort and pull.

Between the emperor and his ministers, a drama of emperors, saints, ministers and sages unfolded, and they played with each other.

It took a long time before Cao Shen, the right prime minister, came forward to ask people to take Xiahouying's body down for burial, and at the same time to appease the two emperors, saints and ministers.

Cao Can said: "Your Majesty, now that Li Jue has appeared in Chengdu, they are planning to launch a general attack on me, Shu Han."

"No matter what the purpose of Li Jue's coming here is, we must be prepared to prevent the violent Qin from sneaking in."

When the matter was brought up, Liu Bang and Xiao Hecai's expressions became serious, they looked at each other and nodded, and began to discuss how to deal with this matter.

But facing a fierce man like Li Jue, who was able to decapitate the overlord Xiang Yu in a million troops, everyone was frightened and didn't know what to do.

Even though Xiao He is the reincarnation of Wen Qu Xing, and he has also received the help of many colleagues in the Heavenly Court during this period of time. He has some magic weapons, powerful formations and talismans in his hands, which are enough for him to burst out in the world beyond the power of heavenly immortals.

But as far as he knew, Li Jue's unleashed strength was definitely not a fairy. At least when he killed the Overlord Xiang Yu on the Jiangdong battlefield, his strength had definitely surpassed that of an ordinary true fairy.

Therefore, if Xiao He wanted to move Li Jue in the mortal world, he had to use all his strength, otherwise it would be useless.

Xiao Hedao: "My lord, you also know that under the suppression of heaven, mortals cannot become immortals, and those with great magic power cannot cast spells that surpass mortals."

Liu Bang nodded, this kind of thing is no longer a secret.

Xiao He continued: "Li Jue beheaded the overlord Xiang Yu on the Jiangdong battlefield purely because he possessed extraordinary talent and strength, and he was able to exert strength beyond that of an immortal with a mortal body."

"However, Leshan is a dojo run by the Buddhist sect. There is a forbidden place inside, which can ignore the suppression of heaven. Gods and Buddhas can show their strength in it."

How clever Liu Bang was, his eyes glowed and he said: "Xiangguo means that when Li Jue stepped into the forbidden area of ​​Leshan, what he faced was not a monk with his hands tied up, but a Buddha with boundless mana?"

Xiao He nodded with a smile and said: "If the old man's prediction is correct, the Eighteen Arhats dug out Leshan and dug out ninety-nine and eighty-one Buddha statues just to arrange this forbidden place."

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, their eyes were filled with anticipation.

Liu Bangdao: "It's just a pity that I can't see the situation in Leshan, so I can't make a judgment on it."

Xiao He smiled and said: "A few days ago, when the old man was persuading the farmers in the field, he got a bronze mirror by chance. You only need to wipe it with a handkerchief, and you can see the picture of the place you want."

As Jiang Ziya's disciple, Chen Ping naturally understood that Xiao He's words were just an excuse. In fact, the bronze mirror was probably a magic weapon for remote surveillance.

He didn't expose it, but Liu Bang and other monarchs and ministers were pleasantly surprised, and quickly asked Xiao He to take out the bronze mirror to check the situation in Leshan.

Xiao He naturally didn't hide it, he took out a simple bronze mirror from his arms, just wiped it with his sleeve, and the situation of Leshan was reflected on it.

At this time, Leshan is no longer the wilderness of the past. From the bronze mirror, it can be seen that Leshan has been carved with ninety-nine and eighty-one stone statues of Buddha.

And there are hundreds of stone statues of Arhats. The whole Leshan looks like a spiritual mountain. There are many Buddhas and Arhats. Those stone statues seem to come alive.

Liu Bang was shocked when he saw it, and said in surprise: "I haven't been to Leshan for several months. I didn't expect that such a majestic and magnificent building has been built, like a miracle."
