Chapter 1323: Talking about the Dharma before the battle
Hongzhou.
"Report, Lu Zhishen led the troops to the Great Wall Ridge!"
A soldier reports to Richard.
"King Jin, are we still waiting?"
Pu Wang Li Renzhong asked.
"King Jin, we consume a lot of grain and grass, and if we don't go to war, I'm afraid that the grain and grass will run out!"
Shu Wang Li Renli also spoke.
Li Renzhong and Li Renli were also children of the clan, and the father of these two brothers, Li Jingsi, tried to protect Huizong Li Bingchang when Huizong Li Bingchang was imprisoned by Empress Dowager Liang.
After Huizong was reinstated, he planned to use Li Jingsi, but because the power of national government was controlled by the descendants of the Liang clan, it could not be realized, and Li Jingsi died of depression.
Lu Zhishen led the army over the Great Wall Ridge.
Richard's brow furrowed, as if he was worried.
Li Renzhong opened his mouth and said, he has also studied the Qi country and knows that the Qi country is not simple, but the battle must be fought after all, and it is not okay to keep watching and waiting.
Liu Fa gritted his teeth and said, he was defeated by the Western Xia people at the beginning, and now he can finally take revenge.
A group of leaders looked at Brother Richard with dissatisfaction, the former Brother Richard was the god of the Western Xia army, leading the Western Xia army to be invincible, but since he fought with the Qi State for a few battles, he has changed, not to mention the fiasco, he was captured by the enemy, and finally the emperor personally came forward to change it back.
"King Jin, I think we still have to fight a battle!"
The crowd was very dissatisfied, and the long wait made them impetuous, and they just wanted to end the battle quickly.
Lu Zhishen looked at the Wuding River that meandered and smiled.
"You haven't fought with the Qi State, the Qi State is different from the Song State!"
"Report, General, the enemy is out of the city!"
"Finally, I can find these Tangut people for revenge!"
"And what are you going to do? Have you been hiding in Hongzhou all the time? This time, we're going south to seize the five states of Kansai! ”
"This is even if you have reached the Xixia Plateau, I haven't seen the Wuding River for many years!"
After Li Qianshun succeeded to the throne, he was grateful for Li Jingsi's loyalty, and Li Renzhong and Li Renli were quite talented, fluent in Chinese and Western Xia languages, and good at management, so they respectively conferred the important posts of Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites and Henan Transit Envoy.
"Go out of the city and line up, rely on Hongzhou to fight, don't rush in!"
"That's how Lu Zhishen came?"
Brother Richard didn't care, although it was disgraceful to be captured, Western Xia didn't care about this, and the emperor still trusted him.
"King Jin, did you get scared after being captured by the enemy? There are more than 200,000 troops on our side, and Lu Zhishen's side is also 200,000 troops, what's so scary! ”
In order to be foolproof, Li Qianshun not only let Li Chage, the king of Jin, lead the troops, but also let Li Renzhong and Li Renli lead the troops together.
Everyone in Western Xia smiled and went out of the city with their headquarters soldiers and horses.
Richard spoke.
Scouts rode horses to report.
"Brother Richard, this guy still can't help it! I still think highly of him! ”
Lu Zhishen said with a smile, the Xixia people he knew were not patient.
"The Chinese army is forward!"
Lu Zhishen ordered loudly.
Outside the city of Hongzhou, the army of black and overwhelming, the Tangut people lacked armor and equipment, horses, iron armor and standard blades were only available to formal soldiers and officers, and most of the soldiers in the Tangut were recruited temporarily, and the equipment of these people was all prepared by individuals.
"Brother Richard, you dare to bring someone here? Is it still quite a captive? ”
Lu Zhishen shouted at Brother Richard under the King of Jin.
"Lu Zhishen, this can be said to be our Western Xia territory, I just led troops to garrison Hongzhou, you led troops to invade my territory, it should be me who asked you what you mean!"
Brother Richard looked at Lu Zhishen and shouted, he was very cautious this time, the army had been in the territory of Western Xia.
"Haha, I'm here to conquer your Western Xia."
Lu Zhishen said without evasion.
"Are you going to start a war with my Western Xia?"
Li Renzhong roared angrily.
"I heard that the Central Plains is a country of etiquette, this is your etiquette?"
Li Renli looked at Lu Zhishen and shouted.
"Aren't you preparing for war?"
Lu Zhishen looked at Li Renzhong, this group of Western Xia people has learned to hold the banner of righteousness and occupy the commanding heights of morality first, but these are nothing to the Qi State, and talk about moral etiquette with robbers?
"There's a lot of nonsense, Liu Fa is here, who dares to come out and fight!"
Liu Fa saw that there was still someone to talk to in Xixia, so he directly came out with a gun and shouted.
"Liu Fa!"
Everyone in Western Xia recognized Liu Fa.
"I'll kill you!"
In the Western Xia formation, a black-faced man rushed out of the formation with a big sword.
Liu Fa was not afraid at all, and also rushed forward, and the two fought together.
"The people of Western Xia have their backs to Hongzhou City, and they don't seem to be willing to come out!"
Deng Yuanjue pointed to the enemy's formation and said, there is no cover on this plateau, and Hongzhou City is the only reliance.
"The Tangut people also have firearms, and they are probably hidden in the city, which is waiting for us to go over."
Lu Zhishen looked at the enemy's formation and said, the Tangut people are different from the ordinary grassland peoples, the Tangut people can defend the city, and the Tangut people have learned to use firearms very early.
"Lu Zhishen, dare to come out and fight!"
A sturdy Western Xia general roared out into battle.
"Hehe, the current Xixia cub is not small, I didn't see anyone dare to call my name like that back then! It seems that you have all forgotten about the Western Army Ruda! ”
Lu Zhishen smiled gloomily.
"Ruda!"
Many people in the Western Xia army on the opposite side whispered, the name Luda had disappeared for many years, but the older Western Xia generals remembered the demon god-like man Luda on the battlefield ten years ago.
"Ruda? Ruda died early! You monk pretending! ”
The big black man who came out of the battle roared.
"I'll go!"
Deng Yuanjue rode out of battle, and a small enemy general was not worthy of Lu Zhishen's battle.
"Amitabha! Donor, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground! ”
Deng Yuanjue held the Zen staff but did not rush to make a move, but held the Zen staff in one hand, performed a Buddhist ritual with one hand, and said with a compassionate face, like a monk who has attained the Tao to temper the cunning and wicked.
"Master...... Phew, you monk looking for death! ”
The big black man was stunned by Deng Yuanjue's sudden behavior, most of the people in Western Xia believed in Buddhism, and they had a lot of respect for monks, and they subconsciously wanted to return the salute, but they immediately realized that this was a battlefield, and the monk in front of him was the enemy.
The big black man swung his big knife and killed Deng Yuanjue, his face full of anger.
"Amitabha, since the donor is stubborn, the poor monk can only use force"
Deng Yuanjue recited the Buddha's name and waved his Zen staff to kill it, but Deng Yuanjue was still talking about Buddhism during the fight.
"This monk Deng is really a magic stick, he doesn't forget to preach when he fights, and the brother of the Sprinkle family is really looking for the right person."
Lu Zhishen looked at Deng Yuanjue on the battlefield and was speechless for a while, although he was a monk, he was still very clear on the battlefield, and he would not talk about Buddhism on the battlefield, but Deng Yuanjue was like a magic stick, and he did not forget to preach Buddhism on the battlefield.
"Actually, this has some benefits, Master Lu, please see, those Western Xia soldiers are very good at this."
Gongsun Sheng said with a smile.
Lu Zhishen looked over, and the Western Xia army under Hongzhou City was really attracted by Deng Yuanjue's appearance as a monk.
