What is the Tao?

The Taoist, the way also! At the crossroads of life, some people move forward bravely, some people retreat from battle, some people go left and right, don't look for other pictures. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

A moment of trade-off, a thought of advance and retreat, a gain and a loss, who can say clearly?

"What the army refers to, there are those who advance but do not retreat, those who die but do not live, those who cannot let go of their parents, wives and children, and those who have a heart in their hearts, they can take a step forward, and this general will never be embarrassed. In life, there is only one life, but please also ask the people who stay, can bring back the family letter of the war dead robe, and don't forget to pay tribute to the brothers who died in the war during the New Year's holidays. Now that there are those who are willing to stay, please step forward. General Su pointed to the pile of family letters accumulated in the army these days at his feet. Many of them are still written by people in the military.

General Su is not lying, these letters are the last thoughts left by the officers and soldiers in the army to their families. It is really necessary for someone to stay and bring back to their hometown the instructions of these soldiers before they died.

The winter wind hunted, the military flags fluttered, and the huge army was silent, and no one came out, except for the occasional anxious snort of the war horses around the soldiers, it was extremely silent.

"If you are willing to stay, please step forward!" The old general Su yelled again at the soldiers in front of him with a choked voice. If, when he was questioned for the first time, he was afraid that he wanted to stay too much and hurt the morale of the army, now I am afraid that he really hopes to leave a little seed for his army, so that he can return to his hometown with the entrustment of the soldiers.

"If you are willing to stay, please step forward!" General Su shouted one last time, but still no one stood up. General Su had to start searching for figures in the army and forcibly named them.

"General, don't look for it, since we are in the army, we are not fucking ready to go back, people are dead and birds are facing the sky, and the head has fallen off a scar the size of a bowl, and there is no one under the general." In the middle of the army, a guy with a beard on his face suddenly spoke, but as soon as he spoke, he had a strong ruffian atmosphere.

General Su remembered this guy, he was the one who had been in the army for the longest time, he had done a lot of things to steal and cheat, and he had done a lot of bullying things, so he even lost his official position as a small flag in his hand, and he didn't know how much he had beaten with a military stick. It tastes like hob meat. But today, on the occasion of life and death, he said such a thing, and he couldn't help but sigh greatly.

"General, we are not afraid of death, we will die for the Ming Dynasty, let that group of **** heretics taste the sword in our hands, even if we die in battle, after death, there will be a Taoist chief for us to spend the undead, and our wives and children will also be rewarded by the court, we are afraid of it!"

"Yes, yes, don't ask, the general, we are willing to follow the general, and we will be worthy of our ancestors when we go to the underworld after death!"

"General, let's go!"

。。。

"Fusheng Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable! The general's heart is full of blood, and the army is united, how can he leave the poor road, and the poor road will take all the disciples to accompany the general on the Huangquan road? Qingyangzi rode a military horse, with a sword on his back, and walked to the front of the stage with his disciple in a Taoist robe.

"The Taoist leaders are not the generals of our army, and they are going to die nine times for a lifetime, why should the Taoist leaders be like this?" Su Lao General said.

"Poor Dao and others come with the army, naturally go with the army, the sons and daughters in the army are willing to die calmly, how can poor Dao and so on be left behind? Where the Tao is, I am willing to seek, why fear life and death? Qingyangzi's face was calm and authentic.

"But..."Old General Su obviously knew Qingyangzi's temper, and was thinking about how to persuade his old friend to quit.

Qingyangzi said with a faint smile: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, although Lao Dao is already a person from the mountains and wilderness, but he is also a Chinese ethnic group and a citizen of the Ming Dynasty." Why should the general turn us away from thousands of miles away? What's more, the poor road came for the way, and naturally defended the way, and if you can be with the army, you can also be regarded as a worthy death" Qingyangzi finished speaking, pulling the military horse and leading a group of Taoist priests into the military formation silently, standing like a pine.

At this moment, the army of the Ming Dynasty had a military soul for the first time.

"The wind blows and frosts, the seaweed withers, and the muscles are dry and strong. 300,000 Han warriors,

The general is also the leader of Huo Yao. The meteor white feather is inserted around the waist, and the sword flower autumn lotus light is out of the box.

The heavenly soldiers shine on the snow under the jade pass, and the captured arrows shoot golden armor like sand. The clouds, dragons, winds and tigers are all handed back,

Too white into the moon enemies can be destroyed. The enemy can be destroyed, the head is destroyed, and the intestines of the beard are involved in the blood.

Hanging Hu in the sky, burying Hu Zi plugged around. Hu no one, Han Daochang. The army moved forward slowly, and Qingyangzi accompanied General Su, and suddenly remembered Li Bai's poem "Hu No Man". When the Han and Tang Dynasties swept the desert of the Western Regions, is there such a group of hot-blooded men who are now calmly dying, and have established a great cause that will stand tall in China for thousands of years?

Under the agitation of the mood, Qingyangzi sang with a fierce mind.

General Su naturally knew such a poem, so he was stunned at first, then laughed and sang loudly. Then there are more and more panderers, and the sound is more and more neat and louder.

The military song is loud, the sun and moon military flags are fluttering in the wind, the desert is wild, and the horse's hooves are written with iron and blood!

The army left, but a whole basket of letters was left in place. The wind blew, and the bundled letter whistled. A Taoist appeared next to the letter box out of thin air, sighed slightly, and put away the envelope. He bowed deeply in the direction where the army left: "Taiyi immeasurably seeks to save the suffering Tianzun, and the strong man goes all the way!" ”

Xuan Xuozi appeared here, because he seemed to see the Han and Tang dynasties coming to the desert again, and the military flag was fierce, which made him suddenly return to that incomparably glorious era.

On the hill of the snowy plateau, the dust that was still entangled with the living Buddha in the snowy region suddenly changed his face. Putting aside the argument, he bowed in the direction of Dunhuang and was silent for a long time.

"Master Shakyamuni Buddha! The merits of Taoist friends are immeasurable! The old living Buddha's face suddenly changed, and he smiled bitterly at the dust and sighed.

At this moment, anyone who has practiced can feel the lifeless martial arts of the Ming Dynasty, as if he has received immeasurable blessings, suddenly excited, and in an instant, he soared into the sky, reflecting Beidou.

Every time the Chinese martial arts rise up, all of them are sacrificed with blood. This time, it was this army of more than 2,000 people who willingly stepped onto the blood altar of the revival of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty military movement, which had been resting for a hundred years, once again descended on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the long of the martial arts was still better than the beginning of the founding of the country, no less than the Han and Tang Dynasties.

The national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty have completely changed this time, and the history of China has slipped into another track, roaring forward, irreversible!

Now that the dust doesn't have to seek the living Buddha anymore, the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty will naturally change a lot of things invisibly. The army is headed, there is God's blessing, it is too white to enter the moon, and Hulu's good days are coming to an end.

"Why should Daoist friends leave in a hurry, isn't this seat discussing with Daoist friends? Everything is according to the meaning of Taoist friends? On the same day, this seat will send its senior disciples to the northwest to persuade the local good believers to eliminate the demon and defend the way, you only need to hand over Nalanda Temple to me to teach, how about it? "The general trend of heaven that can be seen by the dust, and the old living Buddha can naturally see it.

He has practiced for several lifetimes, at this moment, in addition to lamenting the ethereal and uncertain way of heaven, he can only take advantage of the fact that the dust has not left, and hurry up to finalize it. Because at this moment, the help of the snowy plateau is already dispensable, if you don't back down, I'm afraid you won't be able to get anything, but offend people for nothing!

Lichen smiled slightly, and said: "That word is a certainty, and the poor road is waiting for the good news of the living Buddha on Mingsha Mountain!" This covenant is established, and the poor road will not bother much, and I will leave! ”

After the old living Buddha shouted the Buddha name, he also folded his hands and said goodbye.

"Taibai enters the moon, it should be in the northwest" Qin Tianjian shook the world with a piece of paper. Even if the ministers persecuted him repeatedly, Qin Tianjian did not change his words, and the old eunuch was burning his words in the court, and he wanted to die on the Jinluan Palace. caused an uproar in the world.

Emperor Zhengde was extremely happy. The celestial phenomena are obvious, and the northwest will be determined. Emperor Zhengde saw the martial arts who chased the Han and Tang dynasties, and the generals saw the possibility of being crowned a marquis immediately. Under the irreversible trend, the civil officials have finally turned a corner.

Why can't I learn from Ban Chao and go to the northwest to make some military achievements. In the future, he will pay homage to the prime minister, and he will not lose to the predecessors of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Danqing history books, and leave a name for eternity?

Confucianism is not inherently anti-war, and Confucianism also has the way of inner sage and outer king. When he has the advantage, he shouts "foreign king". When you can't beat it, you shout "Inner Saint". Now God has told everyone that there are martial artists in the northwest who have opened up the territory and expanded the territory, and those who want to live for a hundred generations and make immortal military achievements are coming soon. How can you let a bunch of people dream of sealing their wives and sons, and the officials who have been glorious for generations immediately sit on their buttocks.

For a time, the concerts of the expedition to the northwest continued, and the generals were eager to try, wanting to live up to the great cause of their ancestors. Rarely, no one among the civil servants jumped out and remained silent. Everyone is not stupid, if at this time, they jump out and evil the emperor and military ministers, and the trip to the northwest will definitely not have their share.

Of course, this is also indispensable for Buddhism and Taoism to aspire to secretly fuel the flames together, without him! The recovery of the Northwest is hopeful, and the real people invite the world to preach in the Western Regions? The opening of the road by the army was supposed to mean it, but now that God helps, Buddhism and Taoism are of course rarely united, persuading the government and the opposition, and advocating war!

The two families of Buddhism and Taoism even secretly gave gifts to those bigwigs and lobbied, and also donated a large amount of military expenses to the emperor.

The cabinet was relieved, and Li Dongyang took Yang Tinghe and others to send troops to the northwest to rescue Dunhuang and punish injustice. Obviously, he is also interested in achieving a generation of fame.

The New Year has just passed, and New Year's Day has not yet arrived. Emperor Zhengde sent a holy edict to the world, sent the British Duke Zhang Jian as the commander, and Zhang Yong sent 200,000 cavalry for the prison army to expedition to the northwest, punish the unjust Turpan State, and save the people of Dunhuang from fire and water.

Clear-eyed people know that this is pure nonsense, the army is 200,000, and when it arrives in Dunhuang, the bones of the people of Dunhuang are cold. But the recovery of the Western Regions is true, regardless of whether Turpan, a small barbarian country, is really unrighteous or not!

Zhang Yongchun was proud, and Liu Jin now saw that his eyes were red. This trip to the northwest, as long as there are no accidents, the marquis is just right. I don't know how tight a position in the Western Expedition Army is now. What's more, the prison army is the best position a eunuch can get.

Zhang Jian never thought that such a heavy responsibility would suddenly fall on his head, and now he can be regarded as carrying the hopes of the world. As a military minister and noble who retired with the country, he was really stunned this time. It is done, and it can be regarded as living up to the prestige of the ancestors, and in the future, you can look up and go to see the first generation of the ancestors, the British Gongzhangfu. In the event of defeat, the British government will be finished.

In public and private, Zhang Jian can't lose, and if he loses the Ming Dynasty, it will be impossible for him to have another moment to recover Western Xinjiang and restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If you lose, the fortune of the Ming Dynasty will be lost, and your own death will not be enough to compensate for what happens.

Zhang Jian became rare and serious, and blocked countless relatives and friends who came to give gifts and tried to mix up military exploits. Together with Zhang Yong, carefully select generals and select officers and soldiers. Prepare for military painting and plan wholeheartedly.

The gamble of the country, the Ming Dynasty can't afford to lose, the Zhengde Emperor can't afford to lose, the cabinet ministers can't afford to lose, and he Zhang Jian and Zhang Yong can't afford to lose.

When a black line appeared in Dunhuang's line of sight, both sides of the Dunhuang battlefield were stunned. When the black line gradually became clear and getting closer and closer, a sun and moon military flag detonated the battlefield.

The morale in Dunhuang was high, and the army in Turpan was a little panicked. Under the elimination of the other, he actually pushed back the Turpan army that had been squeezed into the city wall.

At first, Bagar was still a little flustered at first, and only after discovering that there were no more than 2,000 enemies did he breathe a sigh of relief, laughed and ordered thousands of military horses to attack, and repelled the large army that had been sent to death.

The battle of Dunhuang has been won, and there is no need to mess up the rhythm for a small army.

At the moment when the dawn of victory is approaching, we must not take it too lightly. If Bagar knew what would happen later, he would definitely rather capture Dunhuang City a few days later than make this fatal decision.

An army fights to the death, and ten thousand armies are indestructible. When an army sees death as home, its combat effectiveness cannot be explained by common sense.

The iron horses were clanging, and the sound of killing was everywhere. The two cavalrymen collided violently. The veteran general Su took the lead and led his army like a fiery sharp knife, piercing the thousands of troops blocking in an instant. The old general ignored the enemy troops who were still pestering behind him, and shouted hoarsely: "Forward, forward!" ”

According to the army, the Turpan army was in chaos.

The sound of horses' hooves, blood-stained knives. The tip of the sword is invincible. When he was about to break through the obstacles and reach the Chinese army tent in Bagar, Bagar woke up like a dream. can't take care of their staff and the group of prostrates. All were left behind and became a flesh fence to stop the enemy army. He hurriedly climbed a few military horses with his guards, and fled in embarrassment under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

The flag of the Chinese army was broken in response, and the army in Turpan was in chaos. The battle in Dunhuang City was reversed in an instant, but the old general Su seemed to recognize Bagar and held on to it.

It's really Bagar's gorgeous armor, too much like a guiding light.

The Ming army pursued it relentlessly, but its numbers became smaller and smaller. People are constantly dying in battle, and people are falling off their horses. But he succeeded in biting the enemy's commander and didn't let go. It wasn't until Bagar came to his senses and abandoned his extravagant armor that he was able to rush into the large group of troops with dangerous light equipment.

Bagar thought that he was finally safe, but the people around him suddenly changed color, and then a loud shout sounded: "General, be careful!" ”。

Before the voice could fall, Bagar rushed to his chest and suddenly felt numb, and when he looked down, it was an arrow made of stainless steel that came out of his chest.

Bagar's eyes darkened, and he picked it off his horse.

The battlefield fell silent instantly, and a moment later, chaos reigned in the military formation. After the old general raised the bow in his hand with a long roar, he discarded it. He drew his sword and said to the remaining hundred or so subordinates: "The remaining wish is enough, everyone in robes, see you on the Huangquan Road!" ”

Among the large army, it is easy to enter and difficult to get out, not to mention that since the banner of the commander of the Bagar Central Army fell, the Turpan army stopped attacking the city and returned to the Chinese army. Now, General Su and his men are unable to fly.

There was silence on the city walls, and there was a lot of noise under the walls. The old general finally fell, the blood-stained clothes fell in a pool of blood, and Qingyangzi followed him from beginning to end, not leaving half a step, and finally fell together in a rain of arrows.

The mad Celestials swarmed up, slashing their bodies and weeping on the walls. The prefect of Dunhuang took the officials of Dunhuang and slowly knelt down in the direction where the old general fell.

"The old general died on the battlefield, but the heroic spirit is immortal. It can be a model for the world. The old general goes all the way! "The people of Dunhuang knelt down, and the officials knelt down. Qi Qi bid farewell to the Ming army that was a heavenly soldier and saved the people of the city.

This is also the first time since Taizong that a civil official has knelt down in front of a military general. It was also the first time in hundreds of years that the people of the city wept bitterly over the destruction of an army.

A long sigh was felt on Mingsha Mountain. A little emotional, a little apologetic!

Although the army of Turpan eliminated the sudden enemy, it lost its commander and a large group of high-ranking generals and accompanying troops. In the big tent of the Chinese army that was re-erected, there was a lot of disputes and chaos. The morale of the army also fell to the bottom in an instant.

The sun is finally setting. Dunhuang City survived another day.

When the sun rose the next day, Turpan's army finally retreated. At the junction of Oriental Heaven and Earth, a long black line emerged again.

Reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty have finally arrived! (To be continued.) )
