"Second Senior Brother!"

An exclamation interrupted the fire monkey and the little butterfly, and the fire monkey raised his head, with a happy smile on his face, and walked quickly towards the two war horses galloping on the avenue outside the camp.

But the smiles of Yifeng and Shuli were fixed on their faces, and they stared straight at the fire monkey, as if they were extremely strange.

Tears welled up in Yifeng's eyes, and they flowed down silently, Shuli's eyes were dim, and he held the Green Snake Sword tightly in his hand, and the green light of the Green Snake Sword flickered sharply, and he was very uneasy.

The fire monkey smiled: "Why are you two stunned, dismount, do you want me to help you personally?" I haven't seen you for so long, and it's all such a big and smelly shelf? ”

Yifeng and Shuli turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the fire monkey, and Yifeng rushed into the fire monkey's arms and hugged him tightly.

The fire monkey smiled, tears flowed down, patted Yifeng's shoulder and smiled: "Yifeng, it's all so big, and it's still crying and chirping like when you were a child, carefully let the Wind Roar Army follow your fellow jokes!" ”

Shuli looked at the wrinkles on the fire monkey's forehead and the corners of his eyes, the bare top of his head, and the obviously untreated white stubble on his head, and looked at this second senior brother who seemed to be older than Senior Brother Ben Chang, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.

The fire monkey wiped his face with his hand, pushed Yifeng away, looked into his eyes and said, "Yifeng, didn't you promise your senior brother not to cry on the Du'e Bridge, why are you still such a child?" ”

Yifeng slowly shook his head and said, "Senior brother, that was the stubbornness of youth, and now it is the sentimentality of war and years. ”

The fire monkey nodded, squeezed the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and said with a smile: "I just looked like a child, and as soon as I spoke, I had a mature taste, very good, senior brother is very happy." ”

Little Fudie walked over, Yifeng and Shuli hurriedly saluted her with their hands together, and then Yifeng raised his head and looked at Xiaofudie's emaciated appearance in a daze.

Fluttershy smiled lightly and said, "Yifeng, what's wrong, has Sister Fluttershy become ugly?" ”

Yifeng hurriedly shook his head and said, "Sister Fluttershy, you will always be the most beautiful sister in my heart. ”

Xiao Fudie sneered and asked, "More beautiful than Xiugu and Ben Qian?" ”

Yifeng was stunned, Xiao Fudie smiled faintly, still charming, and said angrily: "Yifeng, what men and women say, you must think about it carefully." By the way, what about Ben Qian? ”

In the Jiangnan Buddhist camp, in an abandoned village house.

Xiao Fudie's expression was gloomy, and she bowed her head and said nothing.

The high part of the house was covered with cobwebs, the walls were peeling, revealing the adobe bricks inside, and the roof was also in tatters, with seven or eight large holes full of small holes, dim light, damp smell, and a fishy smell of fish and shrimp.

Elder Pu Si looked at Yifeng and Shuli, who were looking up, and the leaders of the Wind Roar Army who followed them, and said with a smile: "Buddha, don't be disgusted, when we were chased and beaten by the Longwu Legion, there were several times when the situation was urgent, and we lost a lot of supplies, and we only begged for the charity of the people nearby while fighting. ”

The fire monkey sighed, and his face was not very good-looking.

The people in the south of the Yangtze River have always had a lot of complaints about the Jiangnan Buddhism, with a bit of resentment, the Jiangnan Buddhism was previously the rich businessmen and gentry, the officials and nobles dedicated to the Buddha, those full of fat intestines, full of private pockets, flattery and good Jiangnan Buddhist monks, to the poor people have always been above the top, no one in the eyes, and many Buddhist temples are extravagant, not the ordinary people can easily step into, for a long time before, the threshold of the Jiangnan Buddhist Temple is higher than the thighs of the people.

Now if you want to beg for alms and fortune from the mouths of these people, these Jiangnan Buddhism has not been taken out for hundreds of years, and some ordinary people are like watching the temple fair juggling, surprised, of course, followed by anger and cursing, and so on.

But the fire monkey didn't think about it anymore, he glanced at Xiao Fudie, then was silent for a while, and smiled at Yifeng reluctantly: "Yifeng, let me introduce to you, this is the leader of Jiangnan Buddhism, the Dharma name Pusi, Elder Pusi was originally the abbot of the largest Buddhist temple in Jiangzhou, because of the promulgation of the Golden Dragon Order, he called all the Jiangnan Buddhism and Taoist Buddhist monks to resist, and commanded the monks to defeat the Jiang Wan army, he is a great elder, and I am also fortunate to have a lot of help from him here." ”

Elder Pulse had a kind face, whiter and younger than expected, and he actually looked about the same age as the fire monkey.

He stood up and saluted Yifeng with his hands folded and said: "Buddha, your reputation has long been like thunder, some time ago you let Taozhuo's Shence army flee in Gunzhou, which is very encouraging to us, and many Jiangnan colleagues are very happy to hear that you are coming." ”

Yifeng hurriedly returned the salute and said, "The elder praised it falsely. ”

Elder Pu Si nodded, hesitated, and asked, "I don't know what the Buddha's next plan is, and let the old monk do his best." ”

The fire monkey interface said: "Yes, Yifeng, what are you going to do next, now Junzhou has been surrounded by the soldiers and horses of our Great Martial Buddha Dao, right?" Elder Juechen, Yan Yinshan, Venerable Duoman, and Venerable Mu Shu, they are all waiting for your news! ”

Yifeng pondered for a while, and said: "On the way here, I and the fourth senior brother have already calculated, you see if what I said is right, according to the information reports transmitted to the Wind Roar Army from all over the place, the strength that can be known now is: Yunzhou has 100,000 soldiers and horses, there are nearly 80,000 monks in the southwest, there are 70,000 or 80,000 mixed troops led by Master Luntai of Buddhism in the northwest, and the total strength of the Beizong Temple in the north is about 50,000, and the Wind Roar Army I brought over has 60,000 soldiers and horses, plus more than 40,000 Buddhist monks in the south of the Jiangnan Buddhism here, The total number of troops is about 420,000. ”

The fire monkey looked at Yifeng suspiciously, and said, "There weren't so many people in Yunzhou when we left, how did they suddenly come out?" ”

Yifeng said: "The influence of Nanzong Temple in Yunzhou is far more than we expected, after leaving outside, Elder Juechen successively accepted the Buddhist monks who came to defect, as well as many lay disciples, and then advanced to the north, after more than a year of stalemate with Shanggu and Lu Tiesheng near Mingwang Temple, during which many people came to join the Yunzhou monk corps, and some time ago I heard that even the Taoist priests of Jiulongguan went. ”

The fire monkey was surprised: "Why can't those old Taoist priests and little Taoist priests think about it?" ”

Shuli explained: "I guess that some time ago, the national teacher Yan Guizhen was imprisoned, and the Taiqing Gate was occupied by Cui Ming and His Royal Highness the Prince's Shenwei Army, and these scattered Taoist temples also had a hunch, or more accurately, were afraid of repeating the mistakes of our Buddhism, so joining the Buddhist and Taoist resistance forces can be regarded as solidarity with Taoism!" ”

Yifeng nodded and said: "King Duoman and King Mu Shu have a very good foundation for Buddhism, many people believe in Buddhism, and many people are half-Buddhists and half-people, so their original strength of more than 40,000 has now been replenished to about 80,000, in addition, the remnants of the Right Longwu Legion have been harassing them in the northwest of Mizhou before, and they seem to have gotten news recently, and they have retreated to the east and retreated to Junzhou." ”

Hearing their discussion, only Elder Pu Si looked worried: "This is much less than Junzhou's troops!" ”

Shuli glanced at him, held his chin, thought for a moment, and said: "The news from Junzhou that came out of Junzhou during this period of time, and now the imperial court can't make up its mind about fighting and peace, and even Emperor Wu Wei Yu is silent, which makes me very reasonable to guess that they should not make any moves during this time, at least, they will come to test our details first, so we can wait and see what happens." ”

Yifeng said: "Yes, in addition, we also have good news, that is, the 400,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenwei Legion and the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Yulin Legion are guarding Junzhou City, they will not and cannot move, and the Shenwei Legion will send up to 200,000 to fight on the border of Junzhou, that is to say, on the border of Junzhou, what we really have to face is the 800,000 soldiers and horses of the Dawu Legion, not the real million legions." Therefore, we also have to leave here and go west to Junzhou, so as to form a situation of oppression against them. ”

Elder Pulse asked, "How long will it take?" ”

"The sooner the better."

Shuli said: "Moreover, we must also be ready to go to war, after this trial, when we put out the conditions for forcing the palace, Emperor Wu must feel betrayed, and his anger is ignited again, I am afraid that there will be a big battle." ”

"What? Forced palace? Elder Pulse looked shocked.

Shuli looked at the fire monkey suspiciously and said, "Second Senior Brother, didn't you mention it to Elder Pusi?" ”

The fire monkey quietly pointed at Yifeng and said, "Didn't Yifeng say that it would be kept secret for the time being?" I didn't say it. ”

Yifeng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter now, anyway, there are more and more gossips in the entire Great Martial Kingdom, and Emperor Wu is estimated to be doubting this and that every day, before we officially put it forward, this plan can only be regarded as one of the rumors." ”

Elder Pulse was still in shock, but he seemed to have understood the meaning and effect of doing so by this time.

Shuli nodded and said, "Actually, what Elder Pusi said just now is right, our troops are indeed much smaller than those of Junzhou, so I decided to use this time to create a few killer weapons in the Wind Roar Army and Jiangnan Buddhism!" ”
