Chapter 167: Retreat and Practice

It is said that after sealing Huashan, the Chinese spiritual veins are entrenched here, and the imperial spirit is condensed, which is more conducive to the prosperity of the human race. There is just one point, which is not conducive to the harmony of yin and yang. More than 100 years later, there were Jizo Bodhisattvas who came to Huashan, stationed in the important places of Huashan, opened up a human dojo, and led the Yin spirit to die.

In October of the eighth year of the emperor's reign, he received an oracle from the Great Tianzun, and Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian ordered a southern expedition, sending 500,000 troops to attack Chen in eight ways.

Yang Guang commanded the Fifth Route Army and waved his army to attack Jiankang, the capital of Chen. Yang Guangjun out of Liuhe (now Jiangsu); He Ruobi's army went out of Guangling (northwest of present-day Yangzhou, Jiangsu); Han captured the tiger army out of the Lujiang River (now Hefei); Wang Shiji's army came out of Qichun (now northeast of Qichun, Hubei); Yan Rong's army went out of the East China Sea (southwest of present-day Lianyungang, Jiangsu).

Yang Jun commanded the three-way army, and the heroic division went straight down. Yang Sujun out of Yong'an (now Fengjiedong, Sichuan); Yang Junjun went out of Xiangyang; Liu Renen's army left Jiangling. The above three routes were commanded by Yang Jun, directed at Jiangxia (now Wuchang), and prevented the Chen army from coming to the east in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

Yang Guang (569 – April 11, 618) was the later Emperor Yang of Sui, a Ying, a native of Huayin (now Huayin, Shaanxi), the second son of Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian and Empress Wenwen Dugu Jialuo, and the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty. Born in Daxing, he was established as the king of Jin in the first year of Kaihuang (581), became the crown prince in November of the twentieth year of Kaihuang (600), and succeeded to the throne in July of the fourth year of Renshou (604). During his reign, he created the imperial examination system, built the Grand Canal of the Sui Dynasty, built the eastern capital, and moved the capital to Chang'an, which had a great influence on later generations. caused chaos in the world, which directly led to the fall of the Sui Dynasty. In the fourteenth year of the Great Cause (618), the Xiaoguo army launched a mutiny in Jiangdu, and Yang Guang was hanged by the rebels.

Yang Jun (571-600), the third son of Emperor Wen of Sui, his mother Empress Dugu, the small character Ayi. In the first year of the emperor's reign (581), he was established as the king of Qin. Yang Jun is benevolent and loving by nature, and reveres Buddhism.

By the end of the year, all armies had reached the north bank of the Yangtze River, and war was about to break out.

In the emergency situation of the enemy's army pressing the border, the queen of the Southern Dynasty Chen was still immersed in wine, relying on the danger of the Yangtze River, and had no fear.

Empress Chen was so busy preparing for the celebration of the Spring Festival that he even summoned his two sons, who were stationed in Jiangzhou (present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi) and Jingkou (present-day Zhenjiang, Jiangsu), to return to Jiankang with their ships, making the Jiangjiang defenses even weaker.

The Sui army was the first to attack in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Yang Jun led an army of 100,000 troops to Hankou and held a hold on to Chen's army stationed in Jiangxia for more than a month. The Yangtze River natural insurance still played a certain role.

Yang Su and Liu Renen led their troops to attack from east to west and capture Langweitan (northwest of present-day Yichang, Hubei), followed by Zhanqiting and Yanzhou (northwest of present-day Yidu, Hubei), and then went down the river. Chen Huiji, the assassin of Chen Jingzhou, who was stationed in the public security, saw that the situation was unfavorable, and hurriedly led 1,000 warships and more than 30,000 generals to retreat eastward, wanting to aid Jiankang, but was blocked by the Sui army in Hankou.

On the first day of the first month of the ninth year of Kaihuang, the Sui army located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River took the opportunity of the Chen army to celebrate the Spring Festival, and secretly crossed the river by separate routes.

At this time, Empress Chen felt that the situation was serious, and hurriedly dispatched troops to resist, but it was too late.

On the sixth day of the first month, He Ruobi led the army to capture Jingkou, and at the same time divided his troops to Qu'a (now Danyang, Jiangsu) to prevent Sanwu (now east and south of Taihu Lake in Jiangsu and Shaoxing, Ningbo, Zhejiang) Chen's army went north to support Jiankang, and led the main force to the west, and on the 17th, he occupied Zhongshan and settled in the southeast of Baitugang; Han Baohu had led his army to conquer Guyi, went straight down the river, and entered Tunxinlin (now southwest of Nanjing); Yu Wenshu, the commander of the Sui marching army, led an army of 30,000 to capture Stone City, and the siege of Jiankang has been formed. The other two wings of the Sui army that coordinated the main attack on Jiankang also progressed well. Wang Shiji's army defeated Chen's army at Qikou, and Yanrong's army had entered Taihu Lake to contain Chen's army in Wuzhou.

At this time, there were still more than 100,000 Chen troops near Jiankang, but the later lord Chen Shubao did not understand military affairs, and did not listen to the reasonable advice of his subordinates, so he concentrated all the troops inside and outside the city. On the 20th, he hastily ordered all the armies to go into battle, and lined up in the north and south of the Baitugang area for more than 20 miles.

He Ruobi led 8,000 armor soldiers to attack, lost the first battle, and then took advantage of his arrogance to attack the weak part of the Chen army. On the same day, Han Baohu led his army from Xinlin to Jiankang, and Shizigang Chen's army surrendered, guiding Chen's army to enter Jiankang City from Zhuque Gate and capturing Chen Shubao. On the same night, He Ruobi's army also came from Beiye Gate to the city. On the 22nd, Yang Guang entered Jiankang, ordered the queen lord to surrender in the swamp, Wuzhou and other places refused to surrender and were destroyed, and the rest were attached.

At the time of the Sui Dynasty, although there were still a large number of cultivators in the army, there were not many masters above the innate realm.

……

At this time, Yan Liyan, Zhu Bajie, and Long Xiaotian practiced day and night under the supervision of Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Daoist who guarded the realm.

Yan Liyan is a reincarnated body, and he is an immortal, so his cultivation realm has improved very quickly, and he has absorbed and refined thirty-six Xuan Zhu beads, and he has already become a god at this time.

Zhu Bashi majored in Buddhism, and has already attained Luohan Guo, which is equivalent to Dacheng Zhenren cultivation, and has also refined thirty Xuan Zhu beads.

Long Xiaotian possessed the white horse and needed to re-cultivate.

Long Xiaotian is the hardest, he has been practicing for thousands of years before meeting the Heavenly Demon, and it has already become the climate, but when he encountered the Heavenly Demon, he almost destroyed the Yuan Shen, but fortunately he met Xuanyuan and came to Huashan through the sky. Zhu Bajie saw that Long Xiaotian's cultivation was difficult, so he gave the remaining six Xuanqi beads to Long Xiaotian. Long Xiaotian suddenly felt a burst of warmth. Long Xiaotian has practiced for thousands of years, and it is the first time he has met someone who is so kind to him. Long Xiaotian gratefully accepted the Xuanqi Bead.

Long Xiaotian belongs to the self-realization practice, and can only simply cultivate the method.

Xuanyuan Jingtian saw that his cultivation was not easy, and his own talent was extraordinary, so he started to love talent and accepted him as an apprentice.

The white dragon Ma Long roared to the heart, and immediately knelt on the ground with the body of a horse and limbs, and bowed to the teacher.

Xuanyuan Jingtian taught his "Xuanyuan Patrol Heaven True Scripture" and taught carefully.

"Xuanyuan Xuntian True Sutra" is written by Xuanyuan Jingtianji throughout his life, which describes in detail the origin or origin of cultivation, cultivation exercises, various supernatural powers and secrets of the gods.

Of course, Xuanyuan Jingtian is mainly teaching the White Dragon Ma Long Xiaotian cultivation exercises at the moment.

"Xuanyuan Patrol Heaven True Sutra" practice exercises and surveying the mind include enlightening mind, internal patrol of the hundred remains, qi patrol of the heavens and seas, divine patrol of the heaven and earth, out of the gods, etc.

Long Xiaotian practiced with the body of a horse, starting from an enlightened mind. In fact, Long Xiaotian has cultivated for thousands of years, and his mind has already been opened, but he is only possessed by a white horse, and he needs to be fused and improved. Long Xiaotian knew that his master Xuanyuan Jingtian's cultivation was unfathomable, but he didn't expect that Xuanyuan Jingtian was an existence comparable to Buddha and Great Tianzun in heaven and earth, and he had the power of creation.

Long Xiaotian carefully experienced the Heaven Survey Mental Method taught by Master Xuanyuan Jingtian, and the more he cultivated, the more he felt magical, and the more he cultivated, the more he felt that he was deeply blessed. Before you know it, a year has passed, and at this time, the white dragon Ma Long Xiaotian has also crossed the transformation tribulation and formalized into a person.

The white dragon horse has become a talent, a jade tree in the wind, and a graceful dragon roaring sky.

Long Xiaotian is dressed in white and is full of heaven, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a towering nose, beardless lips, eight feet tall, and a well-proportioned figure, he is a typical handsome and dashing man.

Zhu Bajie is different, with a big belly and poop, a fat head and big ears.

Yan Liyan also grew up on time, eight or nine years old, also one meter and five meters tall, full of heaven, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, heavenly official nose, fairy mouth, and also a handsome young man.

Cultivation and refining the mind also refining the form.
