Chapter 571: Strategic Gambling

In the northwest, opposite the Danhuang Buddha Caves, the flowery meadow, the poplar green and yellow by the river are scattered, mottled and swaying, showing off their gorgeous clothes in the autumn breeze, and the shallow river rubs the clean sand particles in the water like silk to the distance, gently shallow, shaking off the coolness of the body.

Yifeng and Shuli walked in such a beautiful meadow, the flying insects were doing the last busy before the winter, flying up and down, fluttering, weak, but cute, Xuanluan, the wild girl, was like coming to the happiest world, catching insects, catching rabbits, hunting roe deer, and being very busy.

The war of Buddhism in the northwest has come to an end temporarily, and this protracted battle has begun since the wind entered Leizhou, and breaking through the ambush led by Dong Han was the first step in this battle, and it also made a proper paving for Yang Jiong to be despised by Wei Jian later, causing estrangement.

If it weren't for the disparity in strength at the beginning, and the Northwest Buddhism was brutally killed hundreds of thousands of Buddhist monks, whether it was military courage or combat strength, it was a great setback, and if it was rash to fight with the Northwest Army at this time, it would be tantamount to taking the initiative to send it to death.

Fortunately, the strategies that were decided have had significant results, and there were many unforeseen accidents, such as the estrangement between Wei Jian and Wan Xin Yang Jiong, Wei Jian's stubbornness and rat thrower, and even the last Wei Jian who shocked the northwest was killed by Wan Xin, the main general of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, these things were unexpected, but fortunately, it was a good result for the Wind Roar Army and the Northwest Buddhism.

But for Yifeng, it was an irreparable tragedy, Ben Qian was killed by a sneak attack by Banza, which also made him see Wei Huang's true face more clearly, in the face of the temptation of power, when he walked to the supreme throne, his face became more and more similar to his father Wei Yu.

At the same time, he also took this opportunity to go deep into the hell and have an in-depth exchange with the Jizo King Bodhisattva he had always admired, and he was shocked and surprised that the seemingly high-ranking Jizo King Bodhisattva also had a lot of unfreedom, and also learned more about the secret and unspoken rules of the Three Realms, which made him feel disappointed and embarrassed, and also perceived the ruggedness and difficulty of the enlightenment.

He entrusted Benqian's body and soul to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, although his reincarnation dojo has become a place that is monitored by all the Sumeru space, but the Jizo King Bodhisattva is the master of opening up this dojo, and has his own countermeasures, and the thick darkness in the reincarnation dojo is not just a decoration.

When leaving, Benqian's soul flew out of the palm of the Jizo King Bodhisattva, reluctantly following the wind, and Yifeng gently waved his hand at her, tearfully saying goodbye.

On the way back to the human world from hell and flying to the Devil's Eye, he happened to run into Yang Jiong, but he didn't seem to have any intention of fighting, just glanced at him from a distance and hurriedly led the remaining more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Northwest Army to the border, it seems that the nomads of the Western Regions should take the opportunity to invade the border.

In the Demon's Eye, Hun Jian reported to Yifeng about cleaning up the battlefield and found Wei Jian's body. Yifeng asked him to hand over Wei Jian's body to several captives and send it to Yang Jiong on the northwest border, although Wei Jian killed hundreds of thousands of Buddhist monks, but he was also a hero who guarded the northwest and guarded the country, so he shouldn't expose the corpse in the wilderness.

Yifeng then ordered that whether it was a Buddhist monk or a soldier of the Northwest Legion, all the corpses found were piled up in the eyes of the demons and incinerated.

Yifeng has no resentment towards the soldiers of the Northwest Army at all, more sadness, after returning from hell, he has seen life and death more thoroughly, and has a more thorough understanding of life.

As always, he deeply engraved the names and Dharma names of all the Buddhist monks of the Northwest Buddha Road and the Wind Roar Army who sacrificed on the steep and smooth mountain walls on both sides of the Demon Eye, and nearly 70,000 Northwest Buddhist monks and thousands of Wind Roar Army monks and soldiers, it took a few days and nights to engrave their names and Dharma names.

When he finished carving the last name, he cut off his arm, smeared it with blood, filled the gaps of the name on the stone with guilt and affection, and the cold moonlight set off the desolation, and the shocking blood on those two words told the endless sorrow - Ben Qian.

Xuanluan flashed past the eyes of Yifeng and Shuli, waking up the two who were in deep thought and memories, Yifeng shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "Since I told Xuanluan that the Bodhisattva of the Earth King had a way to save Ben Qian, she instantly resumed the style of that wild girl, and she looked like she had never existed with tears and chirping. ”

"That's a good thing." Although Shuli's face was cold, looking at Xuanluan's jubilant appearance, there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Life is really hard, don't let her worry anymore." ”

Yifeng also smiled, then tightened his brows, and said, "The news from the second senior brother, why is it so bad?" ”

Shuli also frowned, and said: "After he was ambushed by Zheng Wenqi, he collapsed, Jiangnan Buddhism was defeated and retreated, Zheng Wenqi and Chongkai led the Zuo Longwu Legion, and the combat effectiveness was directly improved, after Wang Jun's sacrifice, there was only Sister Xiaodie next to Senior Brother Fire Monkey, and it was difficult to support herself, although she was strong, but the war was not a matter of one person, so she was also powerless to fight back, and could only be gradually forced to the coast of Jiangzhou." ”

Yifeng shook his head and said: "I always feel that something is wrong, Senior Brother Fire Monkey and Little Fudie work together to fight back, there will never be no waves, according to the news he transmitted, it seems that a large-scale battle did not happen, just beaten, I feel that Senior Brother Fire Monkey has encountered something." ”

Shuli said: "Zheng Wenqi is scheming, he may have adopted a strategy of gradual encroachment, so that the already heavily defeated Wind Roar Army and Jiangnan Buddhism will be slowly swallowed by him, the number of people left in the Wind Roar Army is too small, and Senior Brother Fire Monkey and Sister Fluttershy are not very familiar with military training, their combat effectiveness will only get worse and worse, and one will eliminate the other, and only the part of the beating will remain." ”

Yifeng's face was solemn and he asked, "Then what should we do now?" ”

Shuli was silent for a while, and said: "The current situation is not optimistic, although the three northwestern states have achieved an advantage in the battle situation, but our losses are also very serious, this is one of them.

"Second, the Right Longwu Legion of Yixiao who fled from the Southwest Ancient Road to Leizhou to hide before, they did not choose to join the Northwest Army, which is also a very strange thing, but I have also heard rumors of discord between Yixiao and Yang Jiong and others from Junzhou City, presumably their generals also have contradictions, they now choose to regroup their troops and horses to attack Mizhou, and they have to divide their troops to resist the enemy;

"Third, Shanggu also launched a more fierce attack in the north of Yunzhou, and their defense in Yanyin Mountain became more and more difficult. Coupled with the setback of the Jiangnan Buddhism, the situation in the entire Dawu Kingdom is very critical. It seems that we have gained a piece of advantage, but it is likely that overnight, the situation will be reversed, and the advantages we have achieved in Yunzhou, the two southwestern states, and the three northwest states are very unstable.

"For today's plan, I think we need to expand our advantage faster, and then gather all the forces of Buddhism and Taoism, and rush to Junzhou together, launch a general offensive posture, and force Martial Emperor Wei Yu to abdicate! Only in this way can our plan be implemented smoothly. At present, the second senior brother has no worries about his life, so the current situation forces us to act faster and fight faster. ”

Yifeng fell into deep thought, and after a while, he threw out a question: "Can we still trust the crown prince Wei Huang now?" ”

Shuli didn't answer, he stroked the green snake sword in his waist, the green snake sword qi was so rich that it was swallowed directly in the scabbard, and the surrounding flowers and plants were inadvertently cut off in half.

After a long time, Shuli, with a melancholy face, replied, "I don't know, but now, we can only gamble!" ”

Yifeng looked at the vast and boundless sky in the northwest, took a deep breath, squeezed his faith and determination out of his chest, turned it into an imposing voice, and shouted: "Then take a gamble!" ”
