Chapter 64: The Siege
Ten years of great cause, spring in March. Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was annoyed by the failure www.biquge.info of the two Eastern Crusades, so he decided to drive the expedition in person, attacked Goguryeo three times, and vowed to destroy it.
The edict was transmitted to the whole country, ordering the generals from all over the country to send troops to the whole army, and hundreds of armies to march to Goryeo, stipulating that in July, all military horses must rush to the 'Linyu Palace' in Shanhaiguan to converge.
As soon as this edict came out, the world was in turmoil.
At this time, few people in the military and government departments in various places were willing to listen to the orders of the central government, but after all, there was a great righteousness, so officials in various places had no choice but to perfunctory conscription, leaving elite soldiers behind, but sending temporary recruits to Shanhaiguan for convergence.
In the past two months, all the military horses have not successfully rushed to the Linyu Palace, but the desertion among the new armies has become commonplace, so I am afraid that in the deadline of July, I don't know how many soldiers and horses can really rush to the outside of Shanhaiguan and join the army led by Yang Guangqin......
The march was not on the table, and it was said that during this period, two other things happened that were concerned by the people of the world.
First, Emperor Yang Guanghou of the Sui Dynasty met with the Taoist Dade Wang Yuanzhi Zhenren, personally held the disciple ceremony, and asked about the Taoist Tao.
Then, in Luoyang City, which was about to move the capital, people were sent to start construction of a view and a garden.
Soon, Daomen entered the 'engraving printing technique', which made merit to the world. The imperial court printed this and issued two books to the whole country: "Taoist True Immortal Record" and "Detailed Explanation of the Origin of Taoism".
These two books have made the world understand the system of immortals and gods, from the various immortal classes in the heavenly court to the eighteen hells of the underworld, and they also indicate the merit system, which is the details of reincarnation.
The world was in an uproar. Since then, the world has a clear understanding of the Tao, especially the theory of 'reincarnation', which has caused the number of believers in the world to expand rapidly.
The second major event.
There are sudden rumors in the world that Buddhism is not producing, and Hu Xie secretly robbed the Central Plains of Qi luck and resources, and even now, more than half of the Central Plains Qi has been stolen.
It is even rumored that the disciples of Buddhism in the world have their own luck and have hidden merits that belong to all peoples. If you eat its flesh, it may make people not sick and prolong life.
The world is even more uproar, since the rise of rumors, in the middle of a month, there are not many monks in the world who have been eaten. Temples all over the world, in the world of conflict incessant......
On the outskirts of Luoyang, in the meditation monastery.
In a large hall in the backyard, five monks and one nun have solemn faces, four people talk in a low voice, and one monk meditates with his eyes down, sometimes tapping the wooden fish.
I don't know how long after, the sound of footsteps outside the hall sounded, and a floating fairy with a veil on his face walked quickly into the hall.
"Master, uncles." The girl's temperament that came in was dusty, and the color of compassion was fully displayed in the only exposed eyes, and the voice was clear, like the flow of a spiritual stream.
"What's the matter with Concubine Xuan?" The nun asked, turning her head and frowning slightly.
"Master, there is a message from my sister's carrier pigeon." Concubine Xuan replied.
"Any news?" Shi Fei Xuan's master, Fan Qinghui, the contemporary head of Cihang Jingzhai, asked.
Shaking her head slightly, the senior concubine replied, "There is still no trace of Ning Zhenren." ”
"This Ning Dodge!" Fan Qinghui's face was annoyed, and he said hatefully: "Where is he hiding!" ”
"Maybe the recent gossip on the rivers and lakes is related to him." An old monk frowned.
"Not necessarily." Another old monk shook his head: "Everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that Ning Daoqi and Wang Yuanzhi are in opposition to each other, and now that Wang Yuanzhi is valued by Yang Guang, then Ning Daoqi will not be involved." ”
"So, Ning Daoqi is he hiding?" Fan Qinghui frowned even more, and then said to himself: "Let's see how long he can hide!" ”
"Sister Fan, don't break the vows of anger." The oldest had spoken.
"Amitabha Buddha ......" was recited orally, and each sorted out their emotions.
"Senior Brother Wisdom." After Fan Qinghui put down his hand, he asked the oldest old monk: "You say, is that Ning Daoqi free from ......control?"
Before he finished speaking, Fan Qinghui suddenly felt speechless, and hurriedly put away the next words.
The wisdom master of the Tiantai Sect shook his head slightly, glanced at the senior concubine concealedly, and then slowly spoke: "The predecessors of the Dini have participated in the cultivation and transformation, and there will be no mistakes and omissions. ”
Fan Qinghui nodded, frowned slightly again, and said, "Then what went wrong with Ning Daoqi......
"This matter is secondary." Master Jiaxiang of the Three Treatises said: "The top priority is how to eliminate the influence of the message, and if there is no response, I am afraid that the monks in the world will be affected more." ”
"Amitabha!" Everyone recited the Buddha's name again, but one by one's tone seemed a little depressed and deeply annoyed.
"For now, we can only stop waiting for Ning Daoqi to appear, and we need to rush to Shanhaiguan as soon as possible." The Emperor Heart Venerable of Huayan Sect said: "With the strength of the four of us, I will expose the essence of the evil king Shi Zhixuan in front of Yang Guang, so that Yang Guang may be grateful and give a decree to speak for my Buddhism." ”
"What Senior Brother said is very true." Another monk spoke, but it was the youngest of the four great monks, the master of Zen Taoism.
"Knock knock!"
The wooden fish sounded softly, and the young monk looked around at everyone.
"Nope." The wisdom master of the Tiantai Sect shook his head: "It's better to stay here if you are empty, bother to preside over the affairs of the Buddhism, we will go to Shanhaiguan, and the principle must leave one person to take care of the safety of my Buddhism." ”
"Boom!" The wooden fish sounded again, and everyone was shocked when they heard it, but they agreed to the arrangement.
"Without further ado, I'll leave as soon as possible." Emperor Heart Venerable said.
"Amitabha." Fan Qinghui raised his hand to the Buddha and said to the monks: "I will rush back to the sect and ask Concubine Xuan to prepare to enter the world as soon as possible." After that, I needed to take care of it more from the empty master. ”
"Boom!" knocked on the wooden fish again, smiled on his face, and nodded to the concubine.
Concubine Xuan hurriedly returned the salute respectfully......
At the end of June, the army led by Yang Guang had already arrived at the place of the meeting, and although the army of the meeting came every few days, Yang Guang did not see any joy every day, but often roared in the palace.
Because there were too few troops coming, even the Chinese army led by Yang Guang had many soldiers fleeing, not to mention those troops from all over the country.
Almost every army that arrived had only a few hundred recruits, and even the smallest army had only sixty-three men in all.
Moreover, the soldiers who arrived were all miserable, and only four armies were preserved, and there was no shortage of departments. And the other teams, some of them even lost their food and grass, and the soldiers who arrived looked like beggars.
In the tent of the palace, the tables and utensils flew one after another, and Yang Guang's face was red and he was panting heavily.
"This is my world? This is my army!? Yang Guang was so angry that he trembled all over, and the spittle stars roared angrily.
"What's there to be annoyed about." Jing Tian sat on top of a gorgeous blanket, holding a wine bottle in his hand, gently rotating and playing, and at the same time said indifferently: "Since the world is in chaos so far, then simply stop deceiving yourself, and after the class teacher returns to the court, he will spend the whole day again." ”
Without an immediate response, Yang Guang looked at Jing Tian and Ning Daoqi, who was standing behind Jing Tian, and then sighed heavily and arched his hand: "Daozu Zhenren, I'm afraid that after returning to the dynasty, only these surrounding troops will be left if I can still mobilize." ”
Sighing again, Yang Guang said very unwillingly: "At that time, I will issue another order to re-establish the 'Jixia', I am afraid that all localities will immediately rebel." According to the momentum of one city, can we really re-pacify the world? ”
"Huh...... It's easy. Jing Tian smiled and shook his head.
"So that the Son of Heaven may know." Ning Daoqi smiled, raised his hand and saluted Yang Guang, and then said confidently and slowly: "Lao Dao is fortunate to have been generously gifted by Dao Ancestor, and now that the Dao Law has been completed, if it is not deeply involved in cause and effect, I am afraid that Lao Dao alone can help His Majesty calm the world." ”
"Can't you really help me personally?" Yang Guang asked with some reluctance.
"Never." Ning Daoqi shook his head: "I have told Your Majesty that it is merit to destroy alien races, but killing the Central Plains is the cause and effect of sin." Therefore, after returning to the dynasty, Wudaomen will only protect the dragon body for His Majesty, or provide advice and investment for His Majesty, as for the battle, it is absolutely impossible. ”
"Hey......" Yang Guang sighed again.
"Report!" The sound of a report suddenly sounded outside the door, interrupting Yang Guang's next words.
"Come in!" Yang Guang sorted out his emotions and said with a majestic face.
The curtain of the door was raised, and a guard came in and saluted: "Your Majesty, a new army has arrived outside the formation." ”
"Specifics." When Yang Guang heard this, he immediately said tiredly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the newly arrived army is in a neat array, with a total of 500 cavalry troops and 4,000 foot columns." The guard replied, his voice full of joy.
"Oh?" Yang Guang's mood turned from dark to bright, and he immediately asked, "Who is the commander of this army!?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it is a partial general under General Zhang Xutuo, surnamed Qin Mingqiong."
"Huh?" This time it was Jing Tian's turn to speak.
"Does Dao Ancestor have a calculation?" When Yang Guang heard this, he immediately left the guards, turned his head to Jing Tian and hurriedly asked.
"This is a good general, and his brother Luo Cheng is also a fierce general." Jing Tian nodded slightly.
"Hahahaha! Good! Yang Guangda smiled, turned his head and instructed the guards: "Go and inform Master Pei Ju, the squire of the military department!" Let him personally arrange the new army! ”
"Whoa!" The guards replied and bowed.
Outside the account, after the guard came out, he immediately raised the back of his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then someone around came up and asked in a low voice: "How is it?" Can His Majesty's delusion be alleviated? ”
The guard shook his head and said with some timidity: "No, on the contrary, His Majesty's illness is getting worse." Just now, His Majesty was still talking to the ghosts in the empty space as before. ”
"Shh ”
"Silence!" One of the Commanders drank lowly to stop it.
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly shut up, but the guard shook his head and hurried to inform Shi Zhixuan......
Time flew by, and in the next ten days, several armies came again, until mid-July, when Yang Guang finally had no patience to continue waiting.
After all, the allotted time has long passed, and the remaining troops that have not yet arrived are either perfunctory or have already dispersed halfway, and there is no need to continue waiting.
On this day, Yang Guang sacrificed to the sky in the field, officially reorganized the army, and then did not even send a vanguard, directly activated the army, and pressed to the border pass of Goryeo's 'luxury city'.
After a few days of marching, the army descended on the city.
Before the battle, Yang Guang issued an order above Long Luan: "Come and protect your child!" ”
"The minister is here!" A strong man with a height of more than two and a half meters will give up.
"I order you to lead the army to attack the city!" Yang Guang commanded majestically: "Remember! No matter what happens to the army in the rear! Don't hesitate! I will definitely take down that 'luxury city' for me! ”
"Obey the order!" Laihu'er responded loudly.
"All the generals under my command are at your disposal! Go ahead! Yang Guang shook his arm vigorously.
"Whoa!" Lai Hu'er nodded vigorously, and after scanning left and right, he shouted: "Yuwen Chengdu!" Qin Qiong! Pei Yuanqing! Come with me! ”
"Whoa!" The three generals who were named responded to the call, bowed to Yang Guang again, and then followed Laihu'er and strode away together, rushing to the front.
Not long after, the front of the Sui army suddenly began to advance, and the roaring footsteps of tens of thousands of troops came from afar, and the momentum between heaven and earth suddenly became cold and depressing.
In a few moments, dozens of catapults suddenly started, and the huge rough stones flew high in the air and smashed towards the walls of the luxury city.
Rumble! Boom, boom, boom
The loud noise was shocking, and dozens of cobblestones smashed into the city wall one after another, and some smashed on the wall, smashing the wall out of the deep pit; Some flew into the city, causing a roar.
The most striking thing is the boulders that smash into the top of the city walls, and each time the boulder falls, it instantly clears the defenders of a vacancy.
"Hahahaha! Good! Yang Guang stood on the car and laughed, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the side, and said excitedly: "Daomen really has a deep heritage, such a divine soldier, it is really unstoppable!" Conquer it all! Hahahaha! ”
Ning Daoqi smiled slightly, hiding his proud look.
The surrounding sergeants looked at each other, and they all looked at Yang Guang with strange eyes.
Shi Zhixuan, who was standing not far away, glanced at Jing Tian and Ning Daoqi, who were sitting beside Yang Guang, and then looked at the very inexplicable sergeants around him, and couldn't help but sigh slightly, and he was very afraid in his heart.
Of course, this mood only rippled for a moment, and the next moment, Shi Zhixuan's mood turned into anticipation. After all, if you see the magic of Jing Tian with your own eyes, then the matter of 'resurrecting Bixiuxin' will be more certain.
Boom, boom, boom
The catapults continued to fire, covering the army's approach to the walls, and after a few rounds, the walls of the city were close to fragmentation.
On the city wall, there was rarely a trace of the defenders at this time, but they were either smashed into minced meat by boulders, or they were frightened and dared not show their heads again.
Before the Sui army reached the city, the defeat of the Goryeo defenders was already very obvious.
Such a situation made the surrounding sergeants excited, and they couldn't help but talk to each other and admire again and again.
Of course, the generals who did not get the task also seemed to be unable to sit still, because victory was ahead, and if they did not move, they would not be able to reap the credit.
"Your Majesty!" Finally, a general couldn't help but speak up, and saluted Yang Guang and shouted: "Minister Zhang Xutuo, please fight!" ”
"Minister, please fight!" The generals hurriedly responded, and each looked at Yang Guang urgently.
"Hahaha-" Yang Guang was extremely happy and looked up to the sky and laughed.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a catapult in front of him collapsed and shattered inexplicably, causing Yang Guang's laughter to come to an abrupt end......
