Chapter Twenty-Three: The Difficulty of Shaolin Part I

The eunuch who announced the decree rushed to Lunan with the emperor's decree, and because of Hama's special care, the eunuch's speed was very fast, and he did not delay for a moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's just that when he arrived in Lunan, what he heard was the news that the king of Ruyang led his troops to break through Xuzhou City. The famous rebel leader of Jiangbei, Zhima Li, was killed on the spot by the king of Ruyang, and the Mongol army slaughtered the city for three days, and the ancient city of Xuzhou became a blood domain.

The eunuch was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly ordered his entourage to transmit the news back to Hama, and he hurried to Xuzhou day and night.

…………………………………………。

Zhang Wuji led the army into Henan, and the banner of Mingjiao was ordered by him to be put away, after all, this is the hinterland of the Mengyuan court, and it is better to quietly enter the village to shoot, as long as the strategic goal can be achieved, it is to win.

At this time, he also heard about the Mongolian army slaughtering the city in Xuzhou, and Zhang Wuji, who was going to disperse the army and disappear for a while, dispelled this idea and led the army directly to the thousand-year-old Shaolin Temple.

Shaolin is in the north and Wudang is in the south, Zhang Wuji is worried that the Tartar court will stop the Shaolin Temple, and it is normal to rush over to take a look, Wei Yixiao and the others have no objections, let alone see a trace of abnormality.

In fact, Zhang Wuji's trip to Shaolin just wanted to verify one thing, he wanted to see if Shaolin was still suffering as in the book, and he wanted to know how much the big world of Heaven and Dragon Slaying had changed because of his series of actions.

A 10,000-strong anti-Yuan rebel army galloped openly in the heart of the empire, even in today's Mongol masters, such a scale of cavalry is very rare in the Central Plains, naturally attracted the attention of the government, the people, and the rivers and lakes along the road.

The funny thing is that the war report of the Western Regions has not yet reached these local officials, and the imperial court has not had any information about this rebel army, and the incompetent officials want to pretend that they have not seen anything, but they are taken the initiative by the Mongolian naturalized army to come to the door to ask for food and grass under the banner of counterinsurgency, this is a genuine Tartar cavalry, even the equipment is the original set, how dare the local officials easily offend, fortunately, the Ming army does not want much, and every time they succeed in getting the much-needed grain and grass, maintaining the amazing consumption of this 10,000-person cavalry.

There are also more responsible magistrates who check the Ming army more tightly, but if it is a little too tight, as long as the Mongolian naturalized army is sent out, although the inspector is still full of doubts in his eyes, but he still has no choice but to let go, and the grain and grass that should be given can not be bad, the more than 6,000 clear-eyed people are the elite cavalry of the imperial court at a glance, and the Tartars are famous for their dominance, they are not willing to fall to the ground because of the anger of the Tartars, their lives and the lives of the Tartars are not on the same line at all.

It was only at this time that Wei Yixiao, Ouyang Zhi and the others couldn't keep their mouths shut happily, these Tartars were so useful, they really didn't expect that they would admire Zhang Wuji even more.

The Ming army marched all the way to the foot of Shaomu Mountain, and the news about this army was also reported by the magistrates layer by layer, and the magistrates did not dare to care, and the high-level officials of Henan Province noticed the news but could not do anything and did not see it, on the one hand, they asked for verification from the Shaanxi side, and handed the imperial court a fold to go up, and began to mobilize the garrison in the province, and the reconnaissance cavalry was sent out to find this team and monitor it, so as to make a timely decision when it was targeted.

The people along the road were already frightened when they saw the scene of ten thousand horses galloping, for so many years, they had been miserable by the Tartars, and it was too late to see so many cavalry hiding, how could they approach easily, and when the cavalry passed, they all ran out and whispered a few words of scolding, and had a good time.

Only on the rivers and lakes, whether it is a local tycoon or a lower ninth rate or a lone ranger, can they understand the origin of this cavalry, and the rivers and lakes of those Han faces in it can't be suppressed, not to mention that the news on the rivers and lakes will always come much faster than the imperial court.

The heroes on the rivers and lakes watched the Ming army and the magistrates blatantly ask for food and grass, arrogant and domineering, many people had different thoughts, but no one went to report to the Tartars, none of them, as for whether they dared or disdained, no one knew, but with the eastward movement of this army, the rivers and lakes slowly began to call Mingjiao and no longer the Demon Sect.

Change has been started silently.

Zhang Wuji doesn't care about these things anymore, it's really that Mingjiao's current strength is too weak, no matter how big the territory is, it still needs people to guard and manage, and Mingjiao is now pitiful whether it is a senior management talent or an ordinary soldier, otherwise it is the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and he dares to take people to fight a dozen, not to mention cities such as Chang'an and Luoyang.

In the final analysis, the road still has to be taken step by step, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time, even now, Zhang Wuji has found that Mingjiao's steps are a little bigger, and compared with the original book, it is even faster.

In this way, Zhang Wuji was also thinking about how to go in the future, which gave him enough time to think about the future of himself and Mingjiao.

No matter how far the road is, there is an end, and the Ming army has come to the foot of Shaomu Mountain all the way.

In summer, Mt. Shomuro is lush and green, and the altitude of Mt. Shomuro can only be regarded as average, but the scenery is very pleasing to the eye.

The army was stationed at the foot of the mountain, and Zhang Wuji took Wei Yixiao and the personal guards up to Shaomu Mountain.

Ouyang Zhi stayed in the army as a new congenital congenital.

Entering the Shaolin Mountain Gate, Wei Yixiao said suspiciously: "Sect Master, Shaolin is a first-class existence in the Central Plains martial arts, it stands to reason that our whereabouts should have been detected by Shaolin a long time ago, but until now we have not seen a bald guy, this matter is a bit unusual." ”

"Let's go, go up and find out. I'm afraid things have changed. Zhang Wuji spread out his body and rushed up the mountain.

"Huh? Could it be that the Tartars really dare to blatantly attack Shaomu Mountain, this is a dignified Shaolin faction in Middle-earth, and the Tartars dare to be enemies of the entire Middle-earth rivers and lakes? Wei Yi was startled and asked in a lost voice, but the speed of his feet was not slow at all.

The vicissitudes of the sun and the moon, the changes of heaven and earth, the rivers and lakes of the Middle Earth and the rulers of the previous dynasties are secretly fighting and cooperating, and the outstanding emperors of each dynasty and each generation want to completely eradicate the entire rivers and lakes, or completely put it under their own control, but after so many years, both sides are fighting in private, and they have never been put on the surface, unless it is in the troubled times when soldiers and bandits are not distinguished.

No emperor can afford such a responsibility and loss, because the rivers and lakes of Middle-earth are so big that there is a famous saying that can sum up its greatness - that is, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and martial arts and rivers and lakes are almost inseparable.
