Outside Liyang City, the drums of war were urgent, and the Jianghuai army under Du Fuwei shouted loudly, and nearly a hundred catapults swarmed in, followed by arrow blocking cars and crossbow cars, as well as flying cloud ladder cars and nest cars in the rear.

The flying cloud ladder car is a double-body long ladder mounted on six wheels, and there are double rollers at the end of the ladder, which can be used for soldiers to pillow the city and go up; The nest cart is a high platform on top of an eight-wheeled vehicle, which can not only detect the enemy, but also shoot arrows into the city.

Because the engineers in the army cut down a large area of woods outside the city, and repaired the siege equipment for Liyang City on the spot, although these equipment are a little crudely manufactured, the effect they can play is quite amazing.

In order to prevent being restrained by the defenders' fire oil rockets and other means, all siege equipment was coated with a special anti-burning agent that could not be ignited for several days, even considering that the application was not done at the same time, enough to launch a fierce attack.

In the case of a small town, only a part of these siege engines can be dispatched to defeat it in a matter of days with an advantage in the number of troops.

However, Liyang City itself is a fortified city with a wall as high as 20 zhang, and the Sui army defending the city is quite elite, and there is a ship along the river to provide material support, but it is not comparable to those small cities and towns.

Especially in the case of rumors that the Jianghuai army had bad military discipline, the residents in the city were worried about being plundered, so they were more cooperative with the Sui army in the city, and the defensive strength was even higher to a higher level.

For a while, the sound of wheels, shouts of killing, and the sound of arrows breaking through the air filled the space inside and outside the city wall, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the momentum was terrifying.

I saw Du Fuwei with his hands behind his back, watching the situation of the confrontation between the two armies from the high place of the mound outside the city for a while, giving a few orders to the good men of the rivers and lakes who followed behind him, and leading them to quickly climb to the top of seven or eight of the nest cars.

Under the cover of the night and the army, these nest carts full of martial arts experts slowly advanced towards the city wall without any external characteristics, without attracting special attention from the Sui army defending the city, and soon entered the area a hundred steps away from the city tower.

If you continue to drive to a position of 20 zhang or even more than 10 zhang, with Du Fuwei's skills, you can completely sweep to the head of the city, clear a small area of defenders around in one fell swoop, and lead the rest of the good men to follow in.

In the eyes of him, a top master from the underworld, his martial arts are invincible in the Liyang area, and he uses surprise troops to sneak in and climb the city wall first, which is not only unexpected, but also can inspire the morale of the army, and should play a huge role.

……

Farther outside the city, Li Jing looked at a large number of troops who were marching towards the city wall, and was slightly surprised in his heart, knowing that Song Que's eyesight was indeed outstanding, and he could see the situation of the army camp seven or eight miles away in the middle of the night, and made an accurate prediction about the scale of the siege.

Except for a small number of soldiers guarding the camp, Du Fuwei can be said to have dispatched the whole army, using all the strength he has at this time, raising tens of thousands of troops, and has the potential to take Liyang in one fell swoop.

After serving as a small soldier under Du Fuwei for several months, Li Jing also truly experienced many details of the art of war that were not described in detail in the military books from the other party's march, and he had a sense of integration with what he had learned in the past;

From the appointment of generals to the recruitment, selection, and organization of soldiers, from training, strength, reconnaissance, communications, equipment, to formation, marching, camping, defending, and besieging cities, the use of tactics has gradually become one and turned into its own things.

Therefore, although Li Jing is not very optimistic about Du Fuwei, who has taught him a lot of content, he still has certain expectations for the possible changes after he has Liyang as a base, and he is not ready to leave immediately.

If I didn't guess wrong, Du Fuwei should have used his group of specially recruited and trained law enforcement team masters this time, right?

In today's world, there are few people who have a unique vision, and I am afraid that there are not many people who can match Du Fuwei.

Although he did not retain the prestige and ability of high-level talents, he had a unique means for discovering and mastering ordinary talents, so as to organize a special contingent of hundreds of people and play a role in many aspects of the army.

The model of developing the army into a super-large gang is considered the originality of Du Fuwei, a reckless man from the underworld, and it has a refreshing feeling, so it attracted Li Jing to investigate.

"Du Fuwei wants to seize the head of the city by breaking through with surprise soldiers, and it is indeed a good strategy when no one on the other side can compete in martial arts. It's a pity that he encountered a rare accident this time and was destined to return in vain. ”

Just when Li Jing was thinking in his heart, Song Que glanced at him, smiled and said: "Although the old man has not left Lingnan, the work of more than 20 years has not been in vain, the situation in the world is all under my control, and none of the important things can be hidden from me." ”

"At first, he gathered the crowd with his friend Fu Gongqi and became the overlord of the underworld, and later led the crowd to Wang Bo in Changbai Mountain, and then broke away from Wang Bo and established himself as a general, crisscrossing the Jianghuai River, and never defeated."

"Since Du Fuwei's inception, Song has always paid attention to it, and what he has learned is not much worse than yours, and he knows that this person has no ability to compete for the world. However, the setbacks that came so early were somewhat unexpected. ”

Speaking of this, Song Que smiled freely, paused and said: "Among the rebel forces of pure Han blood, the one I am most optimistic about at present is Li Mi of Wagangzhai, and I also have the intention of supporting him. However, after receiving the information left in this stone, my mind changed dramatically. ”

"The information inside the stone?" Li Jing was a little puzzled when he heard this, and he couldn't understand Song Que's reason for judging that Du Fuweiqi's method of breaking into the army would fail. Even if Song Que wanted to intervene, how could he play a role with such a long distance and a large army?

It sounds like this stone has been mentioned by the other party many times, is it related to this? Since it was sent by Song Shidao, is it related to the Goryeo woman mentioned by Song Que?

Song Shidao is the most important figure of the new generation of Song Valve, and is known as the natural heir of Song Que, the first sword master in the world.

The Goryeo woman who can attract him is related to Fu Cailin, one of the three great masters in the world? But isn't this a violation of the Song Dynasty's rule prohibiting intermarriage with foreigners? It's no wonder that Song Que's attitude is so abnormal.

However, after seeing Song Que's demeanor and sword theory, it was difficult for Li Jing to imagine that a Goguryeo Fu Cailin could give great inspiration to a Gaidai master like "Heavenly Dao". Perhaps, there is something else in it?

Although he was very curious about things related to Shi Bi, he felt that he might see the conflict between Song Que and Song Shidao's father and son at any time, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he couldn't make a choice in a short time.

As if seeing the curiosity in Li Jing's heart, Song Que smiled slightly, spread out the palm holding Shi Bi, and explained directly:

"The content recorded in this stone is the essence of Cihang Jingzhai's "Sword Codex" and some more profound information, which was given by a mysterious and unfathomable peerless master."

"Before that, I had done a lot of hard work on the ideas of Buddhism and Taoism, the highest state of the former is nirvana; The latter is a daylift. ”

"The center of gravity of Buddhism is to become a Buddha on the ground; Taoism practices refinement, qi and spirit, practice the gods and return to the void, practice the void and the Tao, regard themselves as a treasure raft to cross the sea of suffering, and are ridiculed as ghouls by the Buddhists who do not know their righteousness. ”

"In fact, Taoism, Buddhism, becoming an immortal or becoming a Buddha, their purpose is the same, that is, they believe that life is more than this, and there is an infinite pursuit of the eternal and 'perfect' 'one'."

"All things in heaven and earth come from one, and although they have undergone a thousand changes, they will always return to one in the end, and it is beyond the control of human beings. The so-called life two, two and three, and three all things, starting from one and ending with one. ”

"No matter what kind of knowledge, up to martial arts, life, and its highest state, how to find out this one that originally existed and then disappeared, and with this one, one can return to the perfect realm when heaven and earth were not judged."

"This hidden one travels endlessly with heaven and earth, circulating, and exists in all things at the same time, Lao Tzu's name is the Tao, Shakya calls it Buddha, Buddha is the meaning of enlightenment, ever-changing, all in it."

"Although man cannot change the process of 'heaven and earth' and 'Tao' from nothing to nothing, and from existence to nothingness, he can grasp the gap between existence and non-existence, and transcend the existence and non-existence. This is the essence of the path of cultivation, and it is always changing. ”

Listening to Song Que's deep voice, whether it was Song Shidao who was nervous in his heart, or Li Jing and Song Lu on the side, they couldn't help but have a shocking feeling of seeing the world through the clouds and mist.

Ordinary people are born in the world, and their life goals are nothing more than two meals and clothing, marrying a wife and having children, and those who are ambitious are rich and glorious.

However, the "Heavenly Sword" Song Que obviously went further, and set his goal on exploring the mysteries of the universe that no one had ever dared to think of, and had an extremely in-depth study of this, and successfully grasped a kind of mystery and mystery related to the secrets of heaven and earth.

"As the saying goes, 'the mind stops the mind and goes beyond the object', only when the soul is transcended, can it be possible to reach the ideal state of the 'other side'." Song Que explained slowly and commented with deep feelings:

"The Sword Book takes 'quietness, silence, emptiness, and nothingness' as the fundamental gist, pays attention to the extreme quietness, focuses on the two aspects of 'seeing through' and 'consummation', and finally reaches the martial arts realm of 'keeping one' and 'Wuji', and completes the sublimation of life in a reincarnation-like circle."

"One of the most critical realms of 'sword heart is clear', in swordsmanship, it is not only to see through the enemy, but also to see through oneself, leaving nothing behind, and to be at ease, and in practice, it is to see through the illusion of life and all things, and to reach the truth."

"The reason why the descendants of Jingzhai have the tradition of 'entering the WTO and training' is because if they want to see through the false side of 'life', they first need to have a deep understanding of life, so as to understand the true essence of 'sword heart and clear mind', which is quite similar to my 'forgetting the sword after getting the sword'."

"For the Jingzhai heirs who have reached the highest level of cultivation of the "Sword Codex", life is just a spring dream and autumn clouds for them, everything from beginning to prosperity, from prosperity to decline, from decline to death, is the rhythm and pace of nature, is the essence of nature, and is also the essence of all life, and will not cause any concern."

"As the first book of Buddhism to cultivate the way of heaven with the sword, I have read the "Cihang Sword Codex", which makes me get a great inspiration, when the sword path reaches the extreme, it should also be beyond life and death, find the true one, realize the infinite, and reach the realm of becoming an immortal and a Buddha."

"However, my own sword path is actually fundamentally different from the Sword Codex, because I don't care about the transcendence of life and death, but I just go all out to explore and move forward in the sword path, not to cultivate the way of heaven with the way of the sword, but to cultivate the way of the sword with the way of heaven."

"After really reading the essence of the "Sword Codex", I began to understand the further path after "getting the sword" and "forgetting the sword", and confirmed that I was taking the opposite side of the "Sword Codex" to 'see through the falsehood': in the world of defects, I realized the relative perfection of defects."

Song Que's tone gradually softened, slightly low, and said with feeling: "Life is not as expected, and it is always eight or nine times out of ten." Just as I set up my ambition to 'give up the sword, there is nothing else', but in fact, I have paid a huge price for it, and it is not as chic as it seems on the surface. ”

"People in the world who do not have pain in their hearts, even the strongest and most optimistic people will regret some of their past behaviors, and hope that history can be re-enacted and give him another chance to change, but unfortunately this will never be realized, life is like this, time is absolutely ruthless."

"Since the essence of life is like this, how can I be spared? Therefore, if you can set lofty ideals and goals for yourself, have the general direction of hard work, and try your best to put other things aside, and realize the beauty of the process with your heart, you will make life easier. ”

"The process of any thing is often more moving than the result. Although the Dao of the Dao I have cultivated is still a kind of Dao of Heaven in terms of results, I am more concerned about the process of the Dao itself, which is also the biggest difference between me and Bi Xiuxin, Fan Qinghui and other descendants of Jing Zhai. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qing, who was listening to the remarks of Song Que and his party remotely, couldn't help but sigh.

As a well-known "Heavenly Sword", and has communicated with Bi Xiuxin and Fan Qinghui, Song Que can quickly grasp most of the essence of the "Sword Codex" and realize the cultivation principle of "keeping one and giving birth to the extreme", which does not surprise her.

After all, he didn't get the "dead pass" part of the "Sword Codex" with the highest esoteric and extreme cultivation method, so it was naturally impossible to add it to Shibi's information, but added his own relatively peaceful views on the "Yin Wuji", and narrated it in a relatively easy-to-understand way.

But being able to point out the difference between cultivating the "Dao" and cultivating the "Own Dao" so clearly, Song Que's talent and talent were completely revealed, and even gave her some inspiration about the essence of "Kendo".

As she expected, Song Que does have extraordinary insights into the nature of life, and is suitable for embarking on the "Yin Wuji" route corresponding to growth and life, and can touch the analogy from the "Sword Codex".

"Although it is said that the part of the sword technique on the other side of the "Sword Codex" about the changes of 'potential well' and 'potential barrier' can be regarded as the originality of Dini, which is subtle, just looking at Fan Qinghui's lack of swordsmanship, there is almost no possibility of thorough comprehension."

"But its core content is still the combination of the primordial spirit and the mind, the 'immortal fetus', which is suspected to be inspired from the 'Dao Heart Demon Dafa', which involves the most profound part of the 'Supreme Yin Wuji' and the changes in the qi of life and death, and it is also the key to the integration of the two Dao and Buddha."

"However, Song Que has not yet reached the 'Infinite Realm', and it is still difficult to comprehend these two for the time being, and the main focus is on the overall gist and essence, and he has seen through the essence of 'Sword Heart Tongming' and Jingzhai Cultivation Heavenly Dao', which can be regarded as reaching my standard line."

"In this case, there is no need to specifically clean up the effects caused by the immortalization effect of the 'immortal fetus', Song Que will naturally come out of his complicated feelings for Fan Qinghui and will no longer be bound by this aspect."

Glancing at Du Fuwei shooting out like an arrow from a nest car outside the city wall, Zhao Qing smiled slightly and sighed lightly:

"The higher level that surpasses the 'forgetting knife' in the path of the knife is the pinnacle of the 'forgetting between the swords'. Since he can comprehend the subtleties of 'Shouyi' and 'Wuji', he is naturally expected to make this breakthrough in the path of the knife. ”

And at the same time as she sighed lightly, about thirty feet away, Du Fuwei's sleeves rolled wildly, and he was about to land on the top of the city and start to kill, but he found that the temperature in the place where he was immediately plummeted, and suddenly an ice sword as thin as paper and crystal clear as jade suddenly appeared in front of him.

But seeing that the blade of the ice sword is flashing, and the strange vortex pattern of the blade body seems to be moving, it is by no means an ordinary mortal soldier, but a spiritual divine object, and the cold qi spreads around it, making people feel like entering an ice cellar, and it is even more unbelievable.
