Chapter 203.1

The Great Feng Dynasty?Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Song Yufei frowned. Are you planning to make a move on Great Feng?

The Great Luo Emperor said unabashedly, Exactly! Our Great Luo is short on food, and we can only make up for it from other countries! We share a border with the Great Feng Dynasty. Great Feng has fought a battle with Great Xia and suffered a crushing defeat, with their national power greatly damaged. Now is the perfect opportunity to send troops!

But I heard that for some reason, the Great Feng Dynasty has had a severe shortfall in grain this year

I know that too!

The Great Luo Emperor nodded. But after all, they are a Dynasty. Even if there is a severe shortfall in grain, they should still be able to collect thirty to forty percent of the crop, and that will be enough!

Song Yufei still hesitated: But the Great Feng Dynasty is under the Buddhist Sects influence

The Great Luo Emperor retorted, Are you saying that your Taoist Sect is afraid of the Buddhist Sect?

Song Yufei shook her head: Of course not! Although this war seems to be just a conflict between two countries, it also involves the calculations and interest divisions of our two sects. Its a situation where pulling one hair affects the whole body, so we must be cautious! How about this, I will go and negotiate with the Buddhist Sect first, and you wait for my message!

The Great Luo Emperor nodded slightly.

He also knew that the war involved two major transcendental powers and could not be started lightly; there would inevitably be a trade-off and compromise of interests behind it.

However, he believed that in the end, the initiative would definitely be in his hands.

Because he was the chosen one by the Taoist Sect, with the full support of the entire sect behind him.

And the Great Feng Dynasty was merely a country under the Buddhist Sect.

It was clear who was more important and who would be the victor.

The Great Luo Emperor bowed his hands: I entrust this to you, fairy!

Three days later, Song Yufei returned with good news.

The war can be fought!

The Great Luo Emperor was overjoyed: Good!

But they have set a condition!

What condition?

Song Yufei said, We can only plunder food in this war. After the food is taken, we must return and not take the opportunity to seize territory! During this process, we must not harm the disciples of the Buddhist Sect, nor the Buddhist citizens!

Agreed, its a deal!

With the consent of the Taoist Sect and the tacit approval of the Buddhist Sect, the Great Luo Emperor immediately mobilized a million troops to attack the Great Feng Dynasty.

Due to the sudden deployment, Great Feng was completely unprepared, and the fortresses between the two countries were quickly breached.

The Great Luo army marched straight ahead, conquering cities and territories with astonishing speed.

This battle quickly caught the attention of the entire world.

Moreover, Buddhism is the state religion of our Great Feng. If I am gone, and Great Feng falls, how will you continue to develop the teachings and spread the Dharma? Master, wouldnt you agree?

Amitabha, Your Majesty speaks the truth! said Master Jietan.

The Great Feng Emperor felt a glimmer of hope.

But then he heard Master Jietan continue: Therefore, the Buddhist Sect has already discussed with the Taoist Sect. This battle may proceed, but it must not harm the Buddhas followers or seize any land! In this way, the Great Feng Dynasty can naturally be preserved. Amitabha!

The Great Feng Emperor became anxious: But Master, what about us? What about our court?

That is easy to handle!

Master Jietan revealed a compassionate smile, As long as Your Majesty and the court officials all convert to the Buddhist Sect, you will become the Buddhas disciples. Naturally, you will receive the Buddhas blessings and protection, Amitabha!

Great Feng Emperors eyes widened, his heart filled with towering rage!

How dare you, you sly old monk!

Youve been waiting for an opportunity to swallow us all along!

Ive already established Buddhism as the state religion, calling on all citizens to believe in Buddha, and yet its still not enough to satisfy your appetite!

You wont even spare me and the court officials!

If even he and the court officials become Buddhists, then who will have a say in Great Feng in the future?

Will it be his word that prevails or the Buddhist Sects?

Truly malicious intentions!

Suppressing his anger, Great Feng Emperor said with a displeased sweep of his sleeve, Master, I am unwell and need to return to the palace to rest. You may leave now!

Amitabha, this poor monk will take his leave! Master Jietan departed.

Naturally, the Great Feng Emperor was not willing to sit by idly and immediately summoned the nations troops to resist.

He also sought help from abroad, hoping for assistance from other countries.

Even Lin Beifan received a request from the Great Feng Emperor.

However, with two great transcendental forces involved in this war between nations, who would dare to intervene?

Thus, the Great Feng Emperors efforts were in vain.

Its somewhat like a grasshopper after autumn, struggling in its final moments.
