Chapter 153: Defeat Shanyue

Han Xuan rejected Zhenrong's request to join forces, not only because of his extremely poor character, he could have taken down Yuzhang, why bother to join forces with him. Moreover, these people brought by Zhenrong are all rabble, most of them are followers of Buddhism.

Han Xuan didn't say a word, and ordered Chen Wu, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Xu Rong to each lead a soldier and horse to attack the Zhenrong formation from all sides, and the flowers bloomed on all sides, and Han Xuan intended to capture Zhenrong alive in the battle. Zhen Rong hurriedly commanded his own soldiers to resist, they often dealt with miscellaneous soldiers and ordinary people, where had they seen such a heroic teacher as Han Xuan.

The scene was completely one-sided slaughter, Di Rongxin said that he couldn't be planted here, he wanted to go directly to Nanchang and take the opportunity to seize Zhu Hao's Yuzhang, but he didn't expect to meet Han Xuan halfway to such a bad star.

Seeing this, Chen Rong said to a group of nuns behind him: "My Buddha is merciful, the Rakshasa turns into this army to do evil, and you must stop the Rakshasa with your flesh and blood." The Buddha thanked you for your sincerity, and will let you be reborn in a rich and noble family in the next life. ”

This group of little nuns has been completely brainwashed and convinced of Zhenrong's ridiculous lies, and they have been guarding Zhenrong. Chen Wu heard the voice of Yingying Yanyan, and when he saw these nuns, he couldn't bear to hurt these women.

Seeing that there was a way to escape, Zhen Rong asked nuns, monks and personal soldiers to escort him out of the encirclement, and Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai led the army to chase after him, and captured all these nuns and monks and handed them over to Han Xuan.

When the nuns saw that they had fallen into the hands of the "Rakshasas", they were afraid of ashes, some of them recited Buddhist scriptures, and some of them cried loudly.

Han Xuan had a headache, these people were brainwashed and brainwashed, even worse than entering a pyramid scheme. Religion is the most powerful tool for controlling people's minds, and these poor people are superstitious about Buddhism in the hope that they will not suffer again in the next life.

The youngest of them was only 10 years old, and the oldest was in his thirties. Han Xuan said to them, "Where are the leaders of yours? ”

Han Xuanjun counted the prisoners of war and found that he still let Zhen Rong escape, so Han Xuan asked those who could speak among these nuns to come out and answer.

A nun in her thirties walked out, only to see that she had not yet shaved her degree, and it seemed that at this time, the feudal idea of "the parents who have suffered from the body do not dare to destroy the beginning of filial piety" is heavier than the Buddhist faith. She has a graceful posture and charm, and said to Han Xuan in a voice like a silver bell: "Donor, don't embarrass me and other Buddhist disciples, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground, and turn back to the shore!" ”

Han Xuan didn't eat this, and said to her, "Master, can you represent these people?" Zhenrong uses the Buddhism to control you and others, and you are willing to be their slaves. ”

Shitai was still a Buddhist clichΓ©, and Han Xuan shouted: "If I become a demon, there will be no Buddha in the world!" Don't bother me with the Buddhists, as long as you confess your crimes, I will let you go. ”

Shi Tai was shocked by Han Xuan's momentum, there was no way, the knife was on his neck, and any reincarnation of a Buddha was in vain. Shi Tai shook out the matter of Zhenrong's insult and bullying of the little nuns, Han Xuan looked at this group of nuns, they were originally women from good families, and they were all taken captive or deceived by Zhenrong to leave home.

Han Xuan asked them to choose voluntarily, and those who were willing to return to the vulgar could go back separately, the little nuns were afraid of Shitai, and Han Xuan told them not to worry. Many little nuns have asked to return to the customs, but in these four wars, many of them came from Xuzhou to follow Zhenrong across the river, and now they are homeless when Zhenrong has escaped.

After Han Xuan sent people to send these nuns and monks to Liling, he continued to lead the army to attack Haidu, and finally under the bombardment of catapults and bed crossbows, Han Xuan's army climbed the city wall through the ladder. Haiduan was captured, and Han Xuan's army marched after resting for two days, and the army approached Nanchang, the county capital of Yuzhang County.

On the city of Nanchang, Zhu Hao looked at the dense Han Xuanjun under the city, and said to Zhen Rong beside him: "Zhen Rong, you didn't bring reinforcements, but you brought Han Xuanjun over." Han Xuan's army is unstoppable, how many defenders can I have in Nanchang, it is better to surrender to him. ”

Zhen Rong dissuaded: "Taishou must not surrender, Han Xuan is a murderous person, and the people of Li will definitely suffer after the city is opened!" Kejiao Jiancheng, Yu Khan, and Poyang sent troops and horses to rescue, Han Xuanjun came from afar, and the sergeants were tired, and their momentum could not last long. can make Poyang Shanyue Peng Hu attack its grain road, Han Xuan is short of food and retreats without a fight. ”

Zhu Hao's adviser Gu Yong thought that Zhu Rong's plan was feasible, so Zhu Hao sent Dong Xi and other generals to rush out of the city and go to various counties to ask for help. The reinforcements from the three counties soon came to help, Han Xuan sneered, Lao Tzu is a reinforcement!

Han Xuan asked Chen Wu to lead the "Wudang" army to meet the enemy, the Wudang army was all from Lujiang, and was trained by Chen Wu as a lancer, with only more than 800 people, and they were invincible since they joined the war.

Chen Wu saw that Dong's raid was the strongest among the reinforcements, and Chen Wu led the army to engage Dong Raid. Dong Xianwu interrupted the sword and shot at Chen Wu, Chen Wu picked up the gun, and smashed a shot into Dong Xi's knife, which shocked him and made his mouth numb.

Dong Xi clenched the Broken Meng Knife again, he has always been known for his bravery in the nearby counties, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him was even stronger than him. Dong Xun did not dare to slack off, and took out all his strength to attack Chen Wu, Chen Wu rose more and more as he fought, and the two fought for more than 20 years.

Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai were killed, Dong Raid retreated, and Chen Wu sighed: "Why do the two generals need to come, I am fighting a rising battle, and this time I am about to break through." Let's ask the two generals to capture this general with me. ”

The three of them pursued together, but Dong Raid's troops were killed and dragged them down, and Dong Raid was able to escape back to the city. Seeing that the reinforcements were defeated, Han Xuan gathered his army and prepared to attack the city, when news came from the rear.

A soldier fled back covered in injuries and reported to Han Xuanyu: "General, our grain army was attacked by Shanyue, and the grain and grass were robbed. ”

Han Xuan was furious: "What! What's going on with Zhou Shan, I repeatedly asked him to take strict precautions, and he was robbed of grain and grass by Shanyue. ”

The report soldier said: "General Zhou led us to fight to the death, but there were nearly 10,000 people in Shanyue, and our army was outnumbered. General Zhou led his troops to break through the siege and asked me to ride a fast horse to report the news first. ”

Han Xuan sighed helplessly, and had no choice but to withdraw his troops back to Haidu, he didn't expect that there were so many Shanyue in Yuzhang County, and the Shanyue in Guiyang, Changsha was completely small compared to here.

Han Xuan learned from the locals about the situation of the Shanyue departments in Yuzhang County, but he didn't expect that the Shanyue here was so powerful, with as little as 10,000 people and as many as tens of thousands. Shanyue relied on guarding dangerous places, scattered largely, lived in small settlements, practiced martial arts, occupied copper and iron mines, cast armor by himself, and occupied the mountains as kings instead of renting the king. Its leader has many titles such as "handsome", "big handsome", "zongshuai" and so on.

And the Shanyue who robbed Han Xuan's army food was the Poyang thief Peng Hu, with tens of thousands of people, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and had the power of Liangshan. However, since Peng Hu robbed Han Xuan's grain and grass, it was tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth, and their good days were over.

Han Xuan asked Chen Wu to escort grain and grass from Chaisang, and after tidying up the armament, Han Xuan's army attacked Penghu's old nest Yishan by water. It's just that Han Xuan's army is difficult to deploy on the mountain, and Peng Hu's Shanyue people drill caves everywhere and rescue everywhere. Han Xuanjun was not good at mountain guerrilla warfare, and they were not as familiar with Yishan as Peng Hu's troops, so they suffered a big loss.

Zhu Hao consulted with him every time he encountered a major event, and Zhu Hao's adviser Gu Yong repeatedly advised him to beware of Zhenrong, but Zhu Hao did not listen, and even handed over the military affairs and city defense to him. Knowing that Han Xuan was competing with Shanyue Peng Hu, Zhu Hao and Zhen Rong laughed, thinking that Han Xuan was not worried.

Zhu Hao set up a banquet to entertain Zhenrong and thanked him for his contribution to saving Nanchang. Who knew that Zhu Hao was assassinated by Zhu Rong during the banquet, Zhu Hao was dead, and all the people surrendered to Zhu Rong. Gu Yong had no choice but to succumb to the thief, and the news of Zhu Hao's death spread, and when Han Ting learned about it, he sent Hua Xin to take over as Yuzhang Taishou. It's just that Zhenrong occupies Nanchang, the county guard, and Hua Xin can't take office directly.
