Chapter 296: The Gentleman and the Buddha
Seeing that on the high platform, many monks began to look in the direction of the conversation between the two in confusion, and Zhenrong hurriedly calmed down.
Even if the situation is tense, we must not lose an inch.
Zhen melted his mind, folded his hands, and said with a calm and kind appearance: "Idiot, everything has its own fate, what should come will come eventually, there is no way to avoid it, what is there to be nervous about?" ”
After saying this, the tense nerves of the monks on the high platform were all calmed.
All the monks couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Zhenrong in their hearts.
The master's cultivation is really not ordinarily high! Calm enough!
Zhen Rong stretched out his hand again, helped up the captain who came to report, and said kindly: "Let's go, gather all the monks in the mansion, and go to the south gate with the deity to have a look." ”
The lieutenant was also infected by the calm attitude of the school at the moment, and his mentality was much calmer than that of Shicai.
The bald lieutenant also stretched out his hand unhurriedly, made a guide form, and said slowly: "Please come with me, master." ”
Zhu Rong followed the lieutenant, slowly descended the high platform, and walked to the side stable.
When he arrived at the stable, the captain turned around and was about to ask Zhenrong what to do next, but he was surprised by the expression of the person in front of him.
At this moment, there was no one around, and Zhen Rong lost his compassionate and compassionate expression, revealing a fierce and violent look, his two eyes were almost popping out, his body trembled, and his beard trembled back and forth.
But I listened to the irritable roar of Zhen Rong's gritted teeth.
"Immeasurable longevity of your mother! What a thief! How dare you come to fight the Buddha's city? I'm tired of being crooked! The Buddha is going to destroy his whole family! ”
The lieutenant was full of excitement, and then he remembered his true temperament.
I was really photographed just now!
The lieutenant regained his nervous appearance at the beginning, and said tremblingly: "Master, what should I do now?" The four gates of the bathing Buddha will be opened, the monks, Buddhas, soldiers and civilians are scattered inside and outside the city, the city gate cannot be closed for a while, if they are allowed to rush into the city of Xiapi, the consequences are unimaginable......"
Zhen Rong flicked his sleeves and said to the captain: "It's okay! It's just a few thousand soldiers and horses, so what's the point? Although the Buddha Bathing Society has dispersed most of my manpower, there are still 8,000 elites in the Buddha's Mansion to break the enemy, you quickly go back to the mansion to greet the Wang Protector, and ask him to prepare the generals and assemble at the south gate, and the Buddha will personally go to meet those thieves for a while, and see where the-stirring sticks come from! ”
Seeing that the bald captain was angry, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said:
"No!"
Zhen Rong took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "Amitayus Buddha! It's so fucking infuriating! A good bathing Buddha will actually make such a fuss for me, I really deserve to be killed! …… Send someone to fetch the Buddha's machete! The Buddha has to surpass him a few times today! …… Damn! ”
……
……
There is no doubt that the soldiers and horses in the south of Xiapi City are the army of potters.
The potter, with Yan Baihu and Yan He as guides, was driving troops from the south at the moment, heading straight for the south gate of Xiapi County.
In a short time, thousands of soldiers and horses arrived in the south of the city, and the noisy sound of Buddhism in the distance almost entered the ears.
Seeing the dust rising everywhere and a heavily armed Biao army arrived, the monks and diners who were still participating in the Bathing Buddha Festival outside the southern city fled in astonishment.
For a while, outside the southern city, it became a pot of porridge.
Almost at the same time as the potters arrived, a group of about thousands of men and horses rushed out of the south gate and set up a formation outside the south gate of the city.
The potter rode a red rabbit horse and followed Zhu Rong's side, looking at the soldiers of Xiapi County in the distance suspiciously.
The armor and weapons of those soldiers were relatively neat and tidy like those of other army soldiers, and there was nothing to say.
However, compared to other armies, the Xiapicheng army also has one characteristic that is more neat than other armies.
That is, they are all bald, all bald and bright.
The potter's eyes straightened a little.
"The soldiers and horses of Zhenrong are so trendy? Or is it the high temperature in Xiapi City? The potter pointed at the soldiers suspiciously, and asked Yan Baihu, "Or is it his established strategy to blind the eyes of the soldiers and horses under my command?" ”
Yan Baihu sighed and said: "This is the rule set by Zhenrong, this old boy entering the Buddha is like recruiting a demon, all the soldiers directly under his jurisdiction must shave their heads, this is the iron rule of the Zhenrong army." ”
The potter raised his left eyebrow in confusion: "The body is skinny, and the parents who receive it, don't they understand this truth?" ”
Yan Baihu smiled, shook his head and said: "That's all for those who have read books, the croppers in the ordinary army don't know the words, how many have read the "Book of Filial Piety"? Besides, in Xiapi City, those who have shaved their heads are more treated than those who are not, and if Lao Tzu meets such a No. 1 national minister, Lao Tzu also has to shave! ”
At this moment, the ranks of the monk army opened a passage in the center.
But he saw that under the protection of a group of bald guards, he beat his horse and walked out of the formation.
The old thief looked up and down at the Jinling Army's military formation and asked loudly.
"Buddha Amitayus...... Whose soldiers and horses are on the other side? Why did I come to the Pure Land to disturb me? Please also come out for advice. ”
The potter looked at the opposite side, and the old monk with a charitable face and quite old also came out of the horse and said loudly.
"The younger potter, I have seen the master."
When Zhen Rong heard this name, he couldn't help but feel excited.
The surname Tao is the most unpopular in him.
"Potter?"
Zhen Rong looked at the smiling young man in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "Isn't it the Taiping prince of Jinling City?" You, aren't you in Wu County Pingding Mountain Yue Yan Hu? How did you come to the deity's lower city? ”
The Tao merchant raised a finger and waved it: "My Buddha is merciful, Yan Baihu has no end of suffering and has turned back to the shore, Tao has nothing to do, and there is still some time, so I will come to Xiapi County to see the master on the way, I have a few questions I want to discuss with the master face to face." ”
Zhen Rong's gaze dodged: "I don't know you, what do you have to ask me!" ”
The potter shook his head and said, "Since the master advocates Buddhism, he naturally knows the retribution of cause and effect...... You and my father are colleagues, and speaking of which, my Tao family has a lot to do with the master. ”
Zhen Rong's heart was worried, and he couldn't think of a good plan.
Although the city of Xiapi is strong, but the potters rushed to come with troops today, it is obvious that they are prepared, now the four gates are wide open, and they are outside the city, if they retreat, the city gate will definitely be snatched by the potters, and today's things seem to be not easy to with.
I heard that this son is quite strong in soldiers, and even Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are defeated under him......
"Amitayus Buddha, the Buddha shaved off the troubles, he is no longer a secular person, and the origin of your Tao family has long since passed away with the wind...... Origins or something, don't mention it. ”
The potter's face sank suddenly when he heard this.
"Master, you're a bit shameless about what you said. How much did my father trust you? The master naturally knew in his heart that he asked you to collect taxes and grain in the rear of Xuzhou, the governor of Xiapi and Guangling, so to speak, my father handed over his rear to the master...... But how do you do it, Master? ”
Zhen Rong was embarrassed, and said nonsense: "What are you doing with those?" ”
"Of course I want to mention the theory of cause and effect! The master monopolized the two counties, cut off the money and grain channels of the two counties and the Xuzhou Governor's Office, filled his own pockets, rebelled and stood on his own, and put all the money and grain taxes of the two counties into his own pocket! What do you want...... Master, are you worthy of my father's trust? ”
Di Rong was coldly uncovered by the potters in front of the two armies, and he was extremely unhappy in his heart.
"Amitayus Buddha, for the Buddha, these are all the past, the Buddha has already cut off the mortal dust, and the past has passed away with the wind!" 、、
Zhen Rong still posed as a monk, jumping out of the Three Realms, not in the Five Forms.
"That's not going to work." The potter gently shook his horsewhip and said with a smile: "You owe my family several years of money and taxes, and in the end, you want to be peaceful when you cut off the mortal dust?" It's also beautiful...... Master, I'm here to settle the cause and effect with you today - either you pay back the money, or you don't pay back! Take your pick! ”
Trembling with anger, he trembled at the potter, and said angrily: "You...... Do you dare to ask the Buddha to pay back? ”
"Bald donkey! Hurry up and pay it back! Or I'll put your foot on your broken view today! ”
Tao hurriedly admonished: "Big brother, it's wrong! The Taoist temple is where my master lives, and he lives in the temple! ”
The potter immediately changed his tone: "I demolished your broken temple!" ”
He folded his hands together and his lips trembled as he comforted himself.
"Amitayus Buddha, as the World-Honored Buddha said, all dharmas have no self, what are all dharmas, and what is selflessness in the clouds...... Fuck it! I can't stand it! A little brute surnamed Tao! Lao Tzu has to hack you alive today! Soldiers of the three armies, give it to Lao Tzu! Rip the skin of that little cub! ”
As soon as the order was given, the captains of the various departments in Picheng beckoned the soldiers and horses of each department separately and rushed towards the direction where the potter was.
The potter was not in a hurry, returned to the horse and entered the battle, he drew his sword, melted his fingers from afar, and shouted:
"Soldiers of the three armies! Listen to me! ”
The Jinling army and horses raised their swords in their hands.
"In!"
"Drums! Fake monk! ”
"Knock knock~~!"
Tao Ji and Xu Chu had already led the Tiger Guards and Danyang elite soldiers, and went straight to Zhenrong's "Monk Army" to kill the generals.
The distance between the two armies was not too far, and they brushed and brushed towards each other.
The potter was not far away, and a smile was revealed.
In his opinion, after several years of training and repeated battles, the opponents of the Tiger Guard Army and the Danyang Elite Army are either the Xiliang Army or the Bingzhou Army, how can the Monk Army under the command of Liang Rong be their opponents?
Moreover, the fierce battle in the south of the city was only the first step in capturing Xiapi, and the decisive move that really played a decisive role was on the side of Chen Deng, who assisted Zhao Yu in Guangling.
This is also the reason why the pottery merchant was talking nonsense with Zhen Rong there just now, he wanted to buy Chen Deng, Zhou Tai, and Xu Rong more time to arrive at the battlefield.
But that's for later
……
The Tiger Guards are at the front of the line!
They were still the same old tactics, and the elite soldiers with Xu Chu as the center, armed with simple knives and round shields, rushed towards the enemy like wolves.
Individual courage does not play a decisive role on the battlefield, but when the two armies compete, it has a very great effect on boosting morale.
Although Xu Chu does not react quickly on weekdays, his reaction ability and adaptability on the battlefield are among the best.
He saw the weak point of the monk's army, led the elite of the Tiger Guard, and rushed straight into it as soon as he took the lead.
Xu Chu's big knife waved, like a wave cracking and cracking like an iron plough breaking the ground, and no one was his opponent.
The Tiger Guard sergeant behind him was even more familiar with his tactics, and many battles had reached the point where the generals and pawns cooperated seamlessly. The monk army could not stop the offensive of this group of tigers at all.
The recovery battle of Xiapi City has officially begun.
