Yuan Rui's introduction made Sun Qian and Shangguan Qian's curiosity aroused, and they couldn't help but stretch their necks to see how the disciple of this legendary monk was extraordinary.

After a while, a tall and thin monk came from outside, dressed in a cyan monk's robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyes were blazing.

Seeing Yuan Rui and the others from a distance, the monk smiled heartily and said: "Your Highness, the poor monk passed by Luoyang, and remembered that he had a good conversation with His Highness the year before last, so he came to visit with a cheeky face, His Highness will not dislike the poor monk for not knowing the rules, right?" ”

"Master, how can a master like a master from outside the world be bound by the rules of the world?" Seeing his old friend, Yuan Rui also unconsciously became excited.

The guest and the host sat down, Yuan Rui introduced Sun Qian and Shangguan Qian to Guanxin, and the four of them chatted very speculatively, forgetting the grim battlefield situation at the moment for a while. Facing the senior monks outside the party, Shangguan Qian was a little ashamed of himself: "I have been a monk for ten years, and when I see the master today, I know that my ten years have been in vain!" ”

Guanxin arched his hand: "The Buddha is destined, the Shangguan donor is bold and resolute, and he is frank, and even the true meaning of the Buddha's earnest teachings, which is really the envy of my generation!" ”

Shangguan Qian laughed: "The master is really good at laughing.

Sun Qian suddenly changed the topic: "Master, listen to Brother Rui, your master is a monk, who can cross the river without sinking by stepping on reeds, can you tell us about his old man's deeds?" ”

Yuan Rui was also interested when he heard it: "Yes, master, every time this king mentions the matter of the monk to the queen mother, the queen mother doesn't believe it, next time the king will take the master and you to face the saint together, and talk to her old man about the ability of the monk." ”

Guanxin said modestly: "The poor monk has only roughly learned Buddhism and martial arts from the master for a few years, and if you talk about it, the poor monk is not an official disciple of his old man." It's just that the old man often taught the poor monks that the monks practiced martial arts for the purpose of benefiting sentient beings, not for showing off in the future. The small art of carving insects is really insignificant, on the contrary, the poor monk heard that His Royal Highness has done a lot of good things to help the world and benefit the people recently, which is really admirable! ”

Yuan Rui was naturally humble, and Guanxin continued: "Your Highness, the poor monk looked panicked when he saw the people in the city today, didn't something happen?" ”

A sentence instantly pulled everyone back to reality, Yuan Rui then informed Guan Xin of the invasion of Nanliang and his upcoming expedition tomorrow, to everyone's surprise, Guan Xin said without thinking about it: "The poor monk has nothing to do, why don't you let the poor monk follow His Highness to go on the expedition together?" ”

can be accompanied by the two masters of Shangguan Qian and Guanxin, of course Yuan Rui can't ask for it. Sun Qian also relaxed a lot, at least she didn't have to worry about Yuan Rui's personal safety.

The distinguished guests here in the Changle Palace, and the Yulin Supervisor Lin Tianyi's Mansion is also receiving VIPs at the moment, and it is the general Hu Shen who is visiting.

Hu Shen hadn't been in contact with Lin Tianyi for a long time, and Lin Tianyi's sudden visit to the door today really surprised Lin Tianyi. After a few polite sentences, Hu Shen got straight to the point: "Tianyi, with your friendship with our Hu family, I won't beat around the bush with you today, you must already know about the invasion of Nanliang, right?" ”

Lin Tianyi bowed slightly.

Hu Shen continued: "It's not a secret, the Empress Dowager Yizhi is already on the way to Linfu at the moment, and the imperial court will order you to be the general of the expedition to the south, and the military of Yanyu and Xu Nan and the six states of Yan, Henan, and Xu, and the commander of 80,000 Yulin will go south to repel the Liang army. ”

Lin Tianyi clenched his fists and said: "The last general will definitely bow and die as hard as he can!" ”

Hu Shen: "I naturally trust you at this point, but this expedition, the imperial court also assigned you a deputy, this person is Changle Wang Yuanrui." ”

Lin Tianyi: "King Changle is in full swing, and the last general must tolerate him everywhere and try not to offend him." ”

Hu Shen shook his head: "It is precisely because King Changle has been in the limelight too much recently, so you must not go too far with him in this expedition, let alone let him make any more military exploits, it is best to let him fight a few defeats, understand?" ”

Lin Tianyi was stunned: "King Changle arrested the real murderer for Hu Duwei, and the last general thought that he had no ill will towards the Hu family......"

Hu Shen: "The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart, and everything is still careful, and if it weren't for the sudden death of Mrs. Song, I don't know who is sitting on the emperor's throne now?" We must always be vigilant about this person. ”

Lin Tianyi nodded: "The last general knows, the general can rest assured." ”

After Hu Shen left, Lin Tianyi fell into deep thought, the national disaster was at the head, and he took the last old capital of the imperial court to go on the expedition, but he couldn't let go because of guarding against his own people, this battle was really getting harder and harder.

The next day Rui said goodbye to Sun Qian and embarked on the journey with Shangguan Qian and Guan Xin in high spirits. Along the way, the people scrambled to work with the army, and when Yuan Rui passed by, they kept shouting, "Great Wei will win!" Great Wei will win! "It was a huge scene. In the crowd of send-offs, Yuan Rui recognized at a glance that Hua Zidu, Cui Mingyou, Jueyuan and other acquaintances were waving at him, and an inexplicable feeling suddenly surged in his heart, and those familiar faces gradually became blurred in his eyes until they disappeared.

The army marched all the way east to Xingyang, and the scouts came to report that Xing Feng was leading his army of 10,000 tigers and wolves to storm Yangxia City, and the Yangxia defenders were extremely tenacious and had blocked the Liang army for a whole day.

Lin Tianyi secretly said Heaven help me, and hurriedly summoned the generals to gather in the big tent and announced the battle plan: "Emperor Nanliang lacked courage and was reluctant to use his old capital, so he only sent Xing Feng to lead 10,000 horses to invade the border. Although this Xing Feng unexpectedly took down several of our cities, but the strength of the troops is limited, and the cities conquered are either attacked but not occupied, or they are still handed over to our Great Wei generals to defend, and its purpose should be Luoyang, the capital division of our Great Wei. Fortunately, at this moment, he has been dragged by our Yangxia defenders, and the opportunity cannot be lost, we should immediately reinforce Yangxia, surround it in three ways, and behead Xing Feng under the city! ”

Yuan Rui cast an approving glance at him: "I don't know which three ways the general wants to encircle Xing Feng from?" ”

Lin Tianyi pointed to the map: "25,000 people on the left road passed through Yangwu and Yongqiu, arrived at Liang County, and attacked Yangxia to the west; 25,000 people on the right road passed through Mixian and Yingchuan to Xiangyi, and attacked Yangxia to the east; 30,000 people on the middle road passed through Wei's to Fugou and went straight to Yangxia. ”

Yuan Rui volunteered: "This king is willing to lead the army to undertake one of the flank attack tasks. ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Tianyi refused: "The battlefield is dangerous, and His Highness has no combat experience, for the sake of safety, it is better to stay in the middle route army of this general for the time being!" ”

Yuan Rui still did not give up and continued to fight: "Since the day of the expedition, this king has been prepared for the horse leather shroud, and the general does not have to scruples. ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Tianyi said more ruthlessly: "General Ben can not care about the life of His Royal Highness, but he must take care of the life of the 80,000 Yulin who follows General Ben." ”

The generals in the audience were secretly speechless when they heard this, and General Lin spoke too ruthlessly, although the other party was nominally a deputy, but he was also a prince, so he couldn't get off the stage, so he wasn't afraid that he would take revenge for personal gain in the future? And Yuan Rui was embarrassed that he no longer asked to lead troops alone.

"Liu Pingyuan, you lead the left side, Wu Xiang is the deputy! Huang Jian, you lead the right side, Yin Hei is the deputy! The rest of the generals will stay in the middle! Hurry up and get ready to go! Lin Tianyi quickly completed the distribution, and there was no room for negotiation.

Yuan Rui returned to his camp, Shangguan Qian was furious, rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out: "What kind of thing is his mother, Lin Tianyi, he actually looks down on His Royal Highness, Lao Tzu is sorry for Lao Tzu's iron fists if he doesn't teach him a lesson!" ”

Guanxin grabbed him: "Shangguan don't be angry, General Lin has his own considerations for such an arrangement." ”

Yuan Rui also stepped forward to dissuade: "Yes, senior, what a big deal!" If my Yuan Rui is wronged, he can exchange for the victory of our army, then the king is willing to be wronged every day! ”

Shangguan Qianwu refused to give up, and pointed to Guanxin: "Lao Tzu has heard, master, your common name is Lin Yuanfei, isn't it related to Lin Tianyi, otherwise why speak for him so much, His Royal Highness was humiliated by him like this, and the master can stand it?" ”

Yuan Rui's face sank suddenly: "The senior Hugh is talking nonsense, the master is a friend of this king, not a subordinate!" ”

Guan Xin didn't care, smiled and asked, "Who is Lin Yuanfei?" The poor monk is just contemplating the mind now, and the monk can't remember what happened before he became a monk! ”

Shangguan Qian also knew that he had lost his words on impulse, but he refused to admit his mistake, and muttered with his mouth puffed: "It's best for our army to win, otherwise Lao Tzu will have to skin him!" ”

Shangguan Qian was still in a temper, and the Yuan Rui battalion had received an order from the army to immediately roll up the armor and rank and divide the troops into three ways to encircle Yangxia.

Following Lin Tianyi's middle route army, after a day and a night of rapid travel, Yuan Rui and others finally successfully garrisoned Fugou. The news of the arrival of Liangjun and Xiangyi respectively came from the left and right roads the next day. Lin Tianyi sent scouts to investigate, and reported that Xing Feng's army was still surrounding Yangxia City, and Yangxia City was still standing.

Lin Tianyi was secretly glad that he had made a quick decision and did not delay too much to be able to counter Xing Feng here, otherwise it would be difficult to find such a good opportunity to annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop if Xing Feng left Yangxia. Immediately ordered the three roads of Yulin to march at the same time to kill Xiang Yangxia.

Although the soldiers had not rested well for a few days, they were all very excited at the thought of being able to completely annihilate the main force of the enemy army immediately. Seeing that the morale of the army was like a rainbow, Lin Tianyi couldn't help nodding his head and said to himself: "Xing Feng, your legend has ended here!" ”
