"What? Suddenly Bald Lun is coming to serve me? ”

Chen Dexing, who was watching the recital in the Zichen Palace, was stunned when he heard the announcement of the little chief manager Hanipolo.

"Sudden Bald Lun...... This name seems familiar! Chen Dexing said to himself.

Hanipolo smiled when he heard this: "Sage, Ku Ballun is your disciple, have you forgotten?" ”

Chen Dexing shook his head slightly and did not answer Hanipolo's words. Of course, he knew that Kubalun was his student. This is the disciple he accepted in Baoyin's dormitory years ago. But when he returned to his palace, he suddenly remembered that this name he had heard in his previous life.

No, not only heard, but also seen! I saw it on TV. Chen Dexing suddenly remembered that in his previous life, he had watched an American drama "Marco. Polo", there is a Kubalun in it, who is the daughter of Haidu Khan. Seems to be a more hands-on character...... It's like in "Marco. Polo's Travels also mentioned this daughter of Haidu Khan.

But this thought flashed through his mind. Even Kublai Khan ran away, so do you still need to worry about a Kublai Vulture? It's just an eleven-year-old girl, although she is the daughter of Haidu Khan, but she has lived in Beijing and Jiangdu since she was six years old, and has never met her father again. Obviously, it can't be an assassin sent by Haidu Khan, right?

"What does she mean?" Chen Dexing thought about it and asked.

Hanipolo replied with a smile: "She said that she is a disciple of the saint, and she should enter the palace to serve the saint and listen to the teachings at any time." ”

Chen Dexing frowned deeply, and he received a total of three disciples in the room, Liu Yu of Goryeo. Japan's Otani Kakushin, and this Su Balun. But he never thought of passing on any mantle to his disciples. As a matter of fact. He didn't feel like he had anything to pass on. Most of the various Heavenly Daoists are tossing and turning by a few gods such as Mo Ying Niang, Mo Dingtian, and Ren Daoxing.

The so-called disciple of King Ming is actually a name. Whether it is Liu Yu or Otani Juexin, they are not in Daming now.

"You take this girl to Mingyue Pavilion, hand it over to Baoyin to take care of, and let her live in the palace for a few days, and she will naturally leave when she gets tired of it."

Chen Dexing finally didn't let people drive Hu Ballun away, but let her stay with Baoyin. In any case, this girl is Baoyin's niece and Haidu's daughter.

Hanipolo saluted, turned and twisted her water snake waist and walked away. Chen Dexing looked at her back. Suddenly I felt something. This woman is twenty-two or three years old this year, right? It has been many years since he came to his side, and his behavior is no different from that of the Han people, and he has also entered the Heavenly Taoism, and he is no longer an empty mother. I don't know if her "ability" has been pulled down? The double cultivation technique of Yinmi is famous! I heard that my own father was confused by Hanipolo's cousin Dharmapolo. I have to let Mrs. Yang arrange it when I go back......

Thinking about the double cultivation with Hani Polo, Chen Dexing had forgotten about the disciple of the little Lori.

However, Chen Dexing's decision to stay in the Daming Palace is destined to have unexpected serious consequences in the future.

Although Chen Dexing himself is the founder of the Heavenly Taoism, he does not really believe that the Heavenly Taoism believes in the existence of a single god. And the magic sticks around him are basically not true believers, but they are just disguised for the sake of power and interests.

But Kubald Lun and her classmates from the Elementary School of the Court. But he grew up in the North and South Heavenly Dao Palace, which has an extremely strong religious atmosphere, and he received a full set of religious brainwashing education!

And Ku Ballun is the youngest among them, and he is very serious about learning the scriptures of the Heavenly Taoism, so that he was brainwashed and confused at a young age. I really believe that Chen Dexing is an angel of God. Uphold the will of the One God to save the world.

Now that he is Chen Dexing's disciple, Hu Ballun is even more excited.

"See? I didn't lie to you, did I? The teacher had already asked me to stay with him and listen to the teachings! The teacher has three disciples, and Senior Brother Yoo is in Goryeo. Senior Sister Otani is in Dongying, and she is busy with teaching and government affairs. There is no opportunity to learn the Tao from the teacher. Now that the teacher has asked me to follow, it seems that he is going to pass on my path......"

The waiting room inside the Daming Gate. Little Lori said something that made Hanipolo stunned. Chen Dexing didn't mean to spread the avenue at all, but just let Ku Ballun play in the Daming Palace for a few days.

But why does this girl think she wants to inherit the mantle of King Chen Daming? That's too self-inflicted, isn't it?

"Senior Sister Sudden Bald Lun!"

"Senior Sister is mighty!"

"Let's listen to Senior Sister in the future!"

"Yes, Senior Sister has obtained the mantle of King Ming's true inheritance, and then pass it on to us, and we will all be able to attain the Dao......"

A group of Mongolian boys with five big and three thick children also coaxed together, and they all regarded Kubalun as the boss. Not to mention, this girl's leadership ability is still there, and she can convince a group of stunned boys from Mongolian noble families who are older than her.

Suddenly Bald Lun patted his chest and replied in a big way: "Good, good, good!" I suddenly entered the palace to follow King Ming to learn the Tao, you are waiting for my good news! ”

As she spoke, she bowed her hand to everyone very quickly, and then turned back to Hanipolo and said, "This sister, please lead the way." ”

Hani Polo couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, but on the face she wouldn't offend Baoyin's niece. Even if she already felt that Chen Dexing meant something to her, but in Daming Palace, she was always alone, how could she compare with Li Cuixian, Baoyin, Cui Yue'er and Yang Po'er's big alliance?

But this one is ...... Hanipolo, however, felt a sense of déjà vu from her. During her time at the Srivijaya, she had met many Indian tantric masters who had practiced in reclusion, and in them they all had a kind of dedication and seriousness to their faith.

This young Sultan seems to have the same persistence and seriousness. She entered Daming Palace, definitely not to seduce King Chen Ming, an eleven-year-old girl, if no one taught, she would not have this kind of scheming. It seems that she is genuinely here to study the Tao of Dharma!

I don't know what avenue I can learn from Chen Dasheng in the end?

……

Just when Chen Dexing inadvertently accepted a disciple who would bring him and the Heavenly Dao Sect big trouble in the future. His eldest brother Chen Defang seems to have a super prosperous coffee beauty and continues his career as a famous general.

The battle of the Ganges was a complete victory - eighteen oar-gunboats and thirty-six three-deck oars showed their might, even after being defeated by Delhi Sultan Gias-al-Din. After the well-laid ambush in Balban. Still relying on overwhelming firepower and the huge impact of the three-layer oarship to win a big victory!

In this battle, the British Navy lost two oar-gunboats and ten three-story oars. More than 600 black knights and more than 300 sailors were killed. The Delhi Sultan's navy was wiped out, and more than 500 ships of all kinds were burned or captured. More than 2,000 heads were cut off by the British navy alone, and more than 20,000 oarsmen (all of them were Tianzhu Brahmans) were captured!

After the Battle of the Ganges, the battlefield of engagement between the Eight-Nation Coalition and the Delhi Sultanate shifted to the inter-river area of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers.

The Yamuna River is the longest tributary of the Ganges, but in the northeastern part of Delhi, the two rivers flow parallelly. The capital of the Delhi Sultanate is located on the west bank of the Yamuna River, backed by the Delhi Mountains. If the inter-river area west of the Yamuna River is lost, the city of Delhi will still be able to defend itself on the Yamuna River and the Delhi Mountains, as well as the fortified citadel. However, it would be possible for the coalition forces to cross the Yamuna River and move west to occupy Lahore, the other ruling center of the Delhi Sultanate. Once Lahore is lost, the Delhi Sultanate will be cut off from communication with Afghanistan and Persia.

Such. It would have been difficult for the Delhi Sultanate to get slave fighters from Afghanistan, Persia and Central Asia. Without the replenishment of these foreign slave warriors, the army of the Delhi Sultan would have been depleted in a few battles.

Hence Delhi Sultan Gias-al-Din. Balban had to drive his army out of the fortified city of Delhi and camp with his back to the Yamuna River.

It is now the early spring of the seventh year of the Heavenly Dao, and it is still cold in Jiangdu and Beijing in the north. However, in Tianzhu, South Asia, the high temperature all year round, even in the most comfortable "cool season", the temperature is comparable to that of March and April in the south of the Ming River.

It is now the end of January of the seventh year of the Heavenly Dao (which is similar to the lunar calendar of the later generations), and the cool season has passed. This will be followed by a three-month-long dry season. The temperature is gradually rising, but it is still possible to fight. Once the dry season is over, it is a five-month rainy season, when it rains heavily. The river is swollen, the climate is even more humid to the point of unbearable, and H medicine is also extremely susceptible to moisture. Most of the coalition forces coming from the "arid" regions of the north also had outbreaks of disease. But this is not the time for a large-scale use of troops.

So, for the next three months. It will be a critical period to decide the fate of the Delhi Sultanate!

On January 30 of the seventh year of the Heavenly Dao, fifty miles northeast of Delhi. The brief calm before the Great War was shattered by the clamor of the horses. The army of the Eight Nations spread out in the middle of the Hejian Plain, and the number of people even obscured the horizon, the 10,000-character flag was erected high, and the dull sound of the horn army trumpets came and went.

In the center of the coalition camp, inside a bright yellow tent, Shi Tianze, the king of Su, said to an elegant middle-aged yellow-robed man beside him with a little flattery: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, we don't have to attack Delhi, we can bypass the Delhi army Dazhai and march northwest, looking for an opportunity to cross the Yamuna River and coerce Lahore." In this way, the Delhi army will inevitably move north to fight in our field. And our eight-nation alliance army has as many as 150,000 soldiers and horses, and the field battle should be foolproof. ”

It was Chen Defang who was called the crown prince by Shi Tianze, and the British king Chen Huaiqing was still unable to leave Hua's City at this time - not because he was addicted to the dialectics with the Brahmin sages, but because the invasion of Tianzhu by the Eight-Nation Alliance and the revival of Buddhism in Tianzhu finally attracted the attention of the Brahmanical countries of Southern Tianzhu.

Several Brahmanical nations, including the kingdoms of Yadava, Penggara, Chola, Pandia, Qakhadiya, and Hosala, were pressured by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and finally stopped the fighting between them and formed the Great Brahmanical Alliance. They also reached an armistice with the Delhi Sultan, and sent an envoy to Buddha Gaya, warning Chen Huaiqing, asking him not to expand the power of the Eight Buddhist Kingdoms in Tianzhu.

Therefore, Chen Huaiqing had to assemble a new army in Huarenheit. This army was based on his own guards, and also gathered a large number of Tianzhu indigenous noble warriors who converted to Buddhism, although the total strength was as high as tens of thousands, but most of the army had little combat effectiveness, and the equipment and training were not reassuring. Chen Huaiqing had to give an order to Chen Defang, who had just defeated the Delhi Sultan at the Ganges, to lead the naval army back to the lower reaches of the Ganges.

Chen Huaiqing originally planned to wait for his son to lead the naval army back to Hua's city, hand over the command of the army around Hua's city to his son, and then personally command the army to fight a decisive battle with the Delhi Sultan.

However, Chen Defang was unwilling to leave the front line of Delhi, but wanted to take the city of Delhi first - this is a huge result! And at this time, it was not only the British army that gathered under his command, but also the coalition forces of the Soviet Union, Song, France, Lü, Srivijaya, Ladakh, Guge and other countries. There are also figures in the army, such as Shi Tianze, King of Su, Li Tingzhi, Taishi of Song, and Lu Wenhuan, King of Lu.

If you can lead the Eight-Nation Alliance, command Shi Tianze, Li Tingzhi, Lu Wenhuan and others to fight, and finally defeat the Sultan of Delhi and capture the city of Delhi, this is a huge amount of political capital!

"King Su, how many Sultans of Delhi are there?" Chen Defang looked down at the map and asked softly.

Li Tingzhi replied, "The Delhi Sultanate claims to have forty families and two thousand iktas, each of which can provide at least three knights. In addition, the Sultan of Delhi himself had at his disposal a large army of foreign slave soldiers, known as the Ghulam Guards, numbering about 20,000 thousands. ”

"Thirty thousand troops at most?" Chen Defang pondered, "This is the situation before we entered Tianzhu, right?" ”

Li Tingzhi nodded. All this news was reported by the Song army at that stronghold in the lower Indus River. Li Tingzhi ordered his henchman Lu Xiufu to command 4,000 elite troops to defend the mouth of the Indus River and build a fortress called Xingsong City, on the one hand, to fight the army of the Delhi Sultanate, and on the other hand, to trade with the Celestial tribes in the Indus Valley, so he heard a lot of news.

The armament of the Delhi Sultanate was not a secret in Tianzhu at all, so it was all found out by Lu Xiufu. But that was before the invasion of the Eight Nations.

"As soon as we entered, the Sultan of Delhi made peace with the Mongols, and as a result he had to hire a number of troops from Afghanistan and Persia. In addition, the caliphate in Baghdad called on the Celestial Cultists to support the Sultan of Delhi. So it's hard to say how many troops the Delhi Sultan has today. But after all, it is no match for our 150,000 army here! ”

Chen Defang patted the map and laughed: "In that case, then let's fight them outside Delhi!" After victory, he will become the ruler of Delhi! (To be continued.) )
