Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

One of them said:

"In my opinion, Luojiao's teachings emphasize the state of emptiness, believing that everything in the world is illusory. Only by understanding the principle of emptiness can one escape the sufferings of the world."

"No, although Luojiao's teachings do explain the concept of emptiness, they place greater emphasis on achieving spiritual liberation through practice. It goes beyond simply recognizing that all things are illusory! The core of our teachings is 'unborn parents, empty homeland'. Practice is only to provide people with spiritual sustenance and a place to return to."

"You've misunderstood the key point, haven't you? I think the compassion and kindness in Luojiao's teachings are also key. It advocates that people care for each other, help each other, and base their actions on good deeds."

"But isn't this compassion and kindness also meant to achieve the state of emptiness and return home? You can't single it out. Aren't you putting the cart before the horse?"

"Everyone is different. All aspects of the teachings are interrelated and have their own emphasis. Emphasizing only one point and ignoring the others, just to compete with others, is a step down!"

"This brother is right. We should look at Luojiao's teachings comprehensively and not understand or argue about a single aspect one-sidedly. Only in this way can we truly understand its connotation and value."

You say something to everyone, and I say something.

Everyone has their own opinions.

But when arguing, people unconsciously start to compare who is better.

As they talked, some people began to feel uncomfortable.

"You're the one who says both the positive and negative things? Are you the only one who's smart?"

"We are having a rational discussion, please don't get emotional."

"Right, right, right, you're the only one with rationality! The Dharma Protectors haven't even stipulated the interpretation of the doctrine yet, and you're out here pretending to be a saint?!"

"Want to argue?"

"Fight? I still want to fight!"

The situation was about to fall into chaos.

Qin Ming immediately stepped forward with several soldiers.

"The leader is here!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and the shouting gradually died down.

Qin Ming glanced helplessly at the arguing crowd and said slowly:

"Everyone, how you interpret the doctrine is your own business. Don't impose it on others."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Thanks to Qin Ming's mediation, everyone finally stopped arguing.

Turning around, Qin Ming looked at the defensive fortifications here.

The pouring of concrete has been basically completed.

In addition, there is the laying of minefields and the digging of trenches.

It is estimated that these projects will be completed in two days.

After understanding the situation clearly, Qin Ming prepared to contact the local secret guards and gather them together.

However, the arrival of the secret guards was faster than he expected.

The person who came was Liu Yueli.

She started from the West Coast, traveled all the way, and arrived at the East Coast without stopping.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong."

"what happened?"

"Forces in various places have already reacted and have sent troops to try to retake the shipping routes."

"In addition, Qin Yue's troops will soon arrive. They will join forces with the Wu family, gathering over 500,000 troops to attack our deployment on the east coast."

"So fast?!"

Qin Ming frowned slightly.

He knew the strength of the Yan Dynasty and that it was possible to gather such a large force in just one or two months, especially after arranging the counterattack on the west coast.

You should know that there are also hundreds of thousands of soldiers gathered on the east coast.

From this perspective, the pressure Qin Ming is under is similar to that of Cao Chuan and others, or even more severe than theirs.

"It seems that the Wu family wants to use me as a target."

The news of Qin Ming's arrival actually put a lot of pressure on the Four Pillars of the Yan Dynasty.

No one wants to be severely injured by Qin Ming within their own territory.

This will affect their foundation as the Four Pillars of the State.

Liu Yueli sighed and said:

"The Yun family in the west, in alliance with the Ouyang family in the south and the Wu family in the east, have destroyed all the intelligence transfer stations set up by the secret guards along the way, causing heavy losses to the secret guards."

"In addition, the Luo Sect has also been targeted. Several guardians have been assassinated, and its teachings have been tampered with by local senior scholars after research, sparking internal doctrinal debates."

"They intend to divide the Luo Cult from within, eliminate the secret guards from the outside, and then use a large-scale invasion to force you to retreat."

Qin Ming had expected the Yan Dynasty's resistance.

But their number shocked Qin Ming a little.

It has a larger land area than Daqian, and the favorable climatic conditions lead to high crop yields.

This allowed them to support several times more people than Qin Ming.

"It seems that the dispute within the Luo Sect did not emerge suddenly."

Qin Ming nodded slowly.

As one of the four major families in the Yan Dynasty, the Wu family is indeed extraordinary.

This method of dividing the Luo Sect from within has already had a huge impact on them.

"Continue to build fortifications and use the last remaining information channels to inform Ye Shoujiang that he can use the chariots."

After pondering for a moment, Qin Ming prepared to use their second trump card.

The chariots were always docked at the ports they occupied.

This place was strictly blocked, and even the people of Yan Dynasty didn't know that they had a group of chariots hidden behind.

In fact, this is normal. After all, no one would have thought that Qin Ming would build several large ships and deliver so many such large objects.

"Unload all the chariots, and then have them go back and transport a batch of chariots to me."

Qin Ming's chariot was equipped with a first-generation internal combustion engine, which had enough power to maneuver on the battlefield.

It has extremely strong lethality and can withstand attacks from the latest generation of firearms.

The Yan Dynasty used the previous generation of weapons that were eliminated by Qin Ming, and could not even break through the chariot's defense.

Of course, they can also use human wave tactics to block Qin Ming's chariots on the battlefield and prevent them from advancing.

But this would cause the Yan Dynasty to lose more troops.

"Yes!"

Liu Yueli nodded quickly.

At this time, Chang Baishan and a group of people rushed to Qin Ming and said:

"Your Majesty, the Wu family's vanguard has arrived, and the estimated number of troops is around 50,000!"

"Fight them."

Qin Ming had used up a batch of firearms, and now only less than half were left.

The enemy seemed to have calculated this and directly arranged people to attack them at the right time.

But they didn't seem to understand that even if Qin Ming didn't have enough ammunition, it wouldn't be a big problem to kill them.

Soon, a large number of troops gathered inside the fortress.

A third-generation descendant of the Wu family's side branch named Wu Guangzhi has arrived with his troops!

He wasn't even a direct descendant, and was a long way from entering the Wu family's headquarters in Tianwu City.

The reason why he came so quickly was just to get a chance to make merit and join the direct line.

"Qin Ming, come out and die!"

Wu Guangzhi roared and shouted in front of the formation.

On the fortress, looking at the concrete that had not yet completely solidified, Qin Ming said to Chang Baishan:

"Line up outside, I will fight them myself."

"Your Majesty, you..."

Chang Baishan was shocked.

But when he saw Qin Ming's determined eyes, he did not hesitate and started to make arrangements immediately.

Those who are familiar with Qin Ming know that his majesty is actually the most capable general.

squeak...

The fortress gate opened and countless troops poured out.

Qin Ming rode a tall horse and slowly walked out of the crowd.

"I will leave my name here! And my life too!"
