Chapter 170: Bao Bailian

The Lushan Great Array opened, and the aura of the world changed drastically, whether it was the Yuan Army or the monks in Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng's army, all of them who had cultivated to the late stage of Fanchen followed the direction and went to Lushan.

This catastrophe of swords and soldiers in the world is still the same. There is still a huge disparity in strength between the enemy and us.

I don't know if I and Zhao Tong will be able to turn the tide?

Wuxu motioned to the generals in the tent to return to their respective positions and be quiet for a while, "Previously, Mrs. Ma had said to the little monk that Hu Dahai Fu Youde had led 50,000 elite soldiers to reinforce from the north and south of Zhejiang, I don't know if it has arrived now, and where is it deployed?"

"General Hu and General Fu had already arrived with their troops a few days ago, but they each led a team of men and horses, which were stationed in the area of Yanziji and Qixia Mountain. Lu Zhongheng replied.

Hu Dahai guarded Yanziji and responded to Huang Tiandang and Xiaguan, while Fu Youde guarded Xiashan Mountain, but prevented the Yuan army from separating himself from Zhang Shicheng.

It seems that at the moment of the great enemy, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng have had to put aside their previous suspicions, echo the east and west, and jointly resist the menacing Yuan army.

Guo Ying sent the military intelligence spy report to Wuxu again.

After reading it carefully, Wuxu couldn't help frowning slightly.

It turned out that since the news of the 300,000 troops of the Yuan army going south reached Poyang Lake, the people in the army were panicked, although Zhu Yuanzhang had Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Tang He, Mu Ying and other tiger generals, and Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, Lu Chang, Wang Guangyang, Song Lian and other advisers, all their efforts were exhausted, but they only fought to a draw with Chen Youliang's brave Han army sailors.

And Mrs. Ma took Zhang Yi and others to Lushan, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to send Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang to lead the army back to reinforce Yingtianfu. Li Wenzhong, originally Zhu Yuanzhang's nephew, was deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, resourceful, wise and brave, and was appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang as the governor of Yingtianfu this time, commanding all the soldiers and horses in the defense of Yingtianfu. Li Shanchang is responsible for appeasing people's hearts and raising and coordinating the dispatch of materials on the two fronts of Tianfu and Poyang Lake.

Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang had entered Yingtianfu the day before yesterday, and immediately distributed most of the soldiers in the city to various places, leaving only a few elites to guard the key places and arrest spies, and many of the remaining daily security were handed over to the sick and disabled soldiers who returned from Poyang Lake.

It seems that what Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang brought back were the old, weak, sick and disabled who had been killed from the battle in Poyang Lake.

Wuxu groaned and asked, "Then Wang Baobao led the main force of the Yuan army, and it was in the area of Laoshan on the other side, across the river from Xiaguan. The main direction of attack of the Yuan army is very likely to be northwest and southeast, and Xiaguan is the first to bear the brunt. Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang turned back to Yingtianfu this time, don't they know? Why did they go down to the pass alone and delay not a single soldier for reinforcements?"

Lu Zhongheng and Guo Ying glanced at each other and were about to speak.

"His grandmother's, if you continue to fight like this, your brothers will die!" a hoarse voice sounded outside the tent.

When Wuxu heard this, he smiled slightly. Sure enough, the person outside the tent lifted the curtain, panted slightly, and strode in, and a cold wind blew in outside, and the boundless evil qi and blood on the man's body diffused in the military tent. Several generals turned sideways slightly, as if they wanted to gag.

Seeing this, the man snorted very disdainfully, and suddenly saw Wuxu standing there, smiling at him, stunned.

On the other hand, Lu Zhongheng said with a little displeasure, "Lan Yu, you are also the one who leads the troops, don't you know that before you enter the main account, you have to report it?"

Lan Yu turned his head and glared at Lu Zhongheng, then hurriedly walked to Wuxu, pounced, knelt on the ground, and shouted, "White Lotus disciple Lan Yu, meet the master!"

Wu Xuan saw that Lan Yu was still the same as before, and he was very respectful to himself, and he also liked it a little in his heart. This White Lotus Order is still on his body now, and he has not kept it for the time being, and Lan Yu's self-proclaimed White Lotus disciple is not wrong. Seeing that he was covered in blood, and several parts of his shoulders had not been completely solidified, as if he had just returned from a bloody battle, he said, "General Lan, please get up quickly, have you just returned from the battle on the river?"

Lan Yu knelt on the ground, but did not get up, learned the rites of Buddhism, clasped his palms on his chest, and replied, "Master Qiyu, Lan Yu has just returned to the camp from the river. Immediately afterwards, he secretly transmitted his divine sense, "Since the master left, the military situation is urgent, and the White Lotus elders who originally followed the master to assist in the defense of Xiaguan were sent to the river to block the Yuan army that crossed the river, and suffered heavy casualties. ”

Wuxu was slightly startled, and said in public, "You get up first, the battle on the river, and tell me carefully." ”

Lan Yu got up slowly, first recounted the tragic battle situation on the river in the past few days, and then changed his words, directly reprimanding Lu Zhongheng for improper command, using the monks in the White Lotus Sect as ordinary generals, and dying in the river, blocking the Yuan army, and not retreating, so that the elders resisted there vigorously, and the enemy army attacked it several times, and was either dead or wounded. However, the elixir that Lu Zhongheng had promised before was not delivered in time.

Therefore, Lan Yu took advantage of the short truce to fly back to the camp tent and ask Lu Zhongheng for the elixir and ask for an explanation.

Lu Zhongheng, seeing that Lan Yu was full of anger and stood on Wuxu's side with an angry face, and Wuxu's face sank, so he got up and explained, "General Lan has worked hard, and Lu also knows that you White Lotus Sect are fighting to the death. But the military situation is critical, our defense line is loose and extensive, and if we don't rely on the elders with vast magical powers, how can we hold this thousand-mile Yangtze River?"

Lan Yu paused, "Then why didn't you replenish the elixir that you said was good?" After saying that, his eyes widened, the corners of his eyes seemed to be cracked, and there was a faint trace of blood left, "Elder Zhang and Elder Wang of this sect are exhausted in their spiritual energy, they can't dodge, and they are shot dead in mid-air!"

Guo Ying rubbed his hands, and seemed to be speechless with Lu Zhongheng and Lieutenant General Zuo Lieutenant, and after a while, he stepped forward, "Captain Lan, military secrets, it was originally inconvenient to disclose them to you." However, in this situation, Guo is fighting to punish the handsome, and he will also explain it to you clearly. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Wuxu and Lu Zhongheng, "The matter of the elixir is in charge of Guo, and I have also discussed with General Lu before to ensure the supply of elixir for the elders." But you also know that the marshal has an order, and the elixir is kept very strictly, and only a little is carried in the Xiaguan army. Later, I had to go to Ying Tianfu in person to urge, but Li Dudu and Li Sima both said, the marshal went to Poyang Lake to fight the Han army, and the elixir stored in Ying Tianfu took away ten of the **, and the remaining one was not a last resort and could not be used. ”

Lan Yu is still a small lieutenant in the military at the moment, although he is reckless and anxious, he can use the name of the White Lotus Sect to go straight to Lu Zhongheng and Guo Ying's camp, but he will not scold Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang in public, let alone directly anger Zhu Yuanzhang. After listening to Guo Ying's statement, he just said angrily in his mouth, "The elders of the White Lotus Sect, all of them have unique skills, if they are used properly, they are a strange army that determines success or failure, how can they be appointed and driven like ordinary soldiers, and the two generals are asked to consider carefully." ”

Lu Zhongheng and Guo Ying looked at each other, but they were silent. This deployment was an order given by Li Wenzhong himself, and it was not only in one place, but also in Huangtiandang, Yanziji, Wulong Mountain, and everywhere in Qixia Mountain. Without him, the troops were not enough, and the enemy army was attacking sharply, so he had to do it as a last resort.

There is a truth, but it is saved. As he was silently muttering, Lan Yu secretly said again, "Master, if this continues, I am afraid that the elders of this sect will all have blood spilled on the Yangtze River and be buried in the belly of the fish." ”

"When the Shenzhou White Lotus blooms, the Prison Demon Peak will fly into the sky again. Wuxu listened to Lan Yu's voice, and Zhao Tong's message to himself at Lushan Prison Demon Peak came to mind: Now Zhao Tong has become a witch, but he still does not forget the White Lotus Sect, does not forget to overthrow the Yuan Court, and does not forget to avenge Liu Futong and others. I also thought of the scene in Sumeru, when Liu Futong was in Anfeng City, and he personally entrusted the White Lotus Order blessed by Buddhism on Poyang Lake outside Yingzhou City.

Finally stood up, clasped his hands together, and said, "The White Lotus Sect is the main force of the anti-Yuan resistance, and it is also a banner of the righteous army. The military situation is critical, and it is even more necessary to use it carefully. ”

Then, he said to Lan Yu, "You come with me." ”

After that, he took the blue jade and flew towards the Yangtze River section at the lower pass, and when he saw the elders of the White Lotus Sect, Wuxu took out a few elixirs that replenished spiritual energy, distributed them, and then ingested everyone into the Dharma Realm, sat cross-legged, and recited the "Amitabha Sutra".

These elders of the White Lotus Sect, before, had entered the realm of the Enlightenment Void Law, and together with the Enlightenment, they performed the Great Guardian Array of the Buddha Sect Dojo. Now, I re-enter the Dharma realm and recite the Amitabha Sutra. Suddenly, outside the Buddha hall, endless and unspeakable places, countless boundless Buddha light and Buddha breath poured into the Buddha hall, smoking everyone into a fairy, and getting unprecedented joy.

Wuxu took out the White Lotus Order again, and asked everyone to return together, so that the token no longer had a trace of evil energy, and the white lotus reappeared. In the end, Wu Xu's fingers moved slightly, and all the elders of the White Lotus Sect were held up by the White Lotus and flew out of the Dharma Realm.

The elders of the White Lotus Sect sat on the White Lotus, closed their eyes for a moment, wept one after another, and said to Wuxu, "Master is merciful, we will only know the true meaning of this sect today, and I am willing to follow the master and attain Bliss." ”

Wuxu sighed secretly and replied, "If you see me with color, ask me with a voice." It is a man who walks in an evil way, and he will not see what he comes. Remember, 'Do not do any evil, but do all good.' Self-purification is the meaning of Buddhism'. ”

The elders of the White Lotus Sect clasped their palms together again, recited the two Buddhist verses that Wuxu said, and said, "I'll wait, obey the order, and never ask the Yuan army to drink horses to cross the river and poison the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Wuxu, hearing this, didn't know how to explain it, so he had to put his palms together, "Away from all appearances, that is, all Buddhas." Since you have a relationship with my Buddha, you must not look at each other after completing the bodhisattva act. ”

The elders of the White Lotus Sect clasped their palms together again, "We have put life and death out of our minds, so the master doesn't need to worry. ”

Wuxu was stunned, so he had to bow down, "The military situation is urgent, Wuxu will leave." Then he took the blue jade to Yanziji, Huangtiandang, Wulong Mountain, and Qixia Mountain, and took the white lotus elder who was charging forward, like the lower pass, into the Dharma realm one by one, chanting sutras and quoting them, and then saying to the Buddha again.

Finally, with Lan Yu, he flew into Ying Tianfu to meet Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang.

Li Wenzhong looks a little similar to Zhu Yuanzhang, with a long face, thick eyebrows and black beard. After getting the order of Zhu Yuanzhang with Li Shanchang, he turned back to Yingtianfu and resisted the Yuan army, because the military situation was critical, so he lived with Li Shanchang.

At this moment, the two were sitting on the left and right sides, talking softly. In the hall, sergeants kept coming in and out, presenting volumes of military intelligence espionage reports.

Li Shanchang is old, now he is more than fifty years old, and when he reaches the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, he is also like the young Li Wenzhong, in the face of the spy reports like a small mountain, he is not tired, and he takes them one by one and takes them carefully.

"General Lan!? He Lan Yu is just a small lieutenant, and he actually calls himself a general in front of the public!" Suddenly, Li Wenzhong shook the piece of paper in his hand and slapped the table and said angrily.

Li Shanchang took the piece of paper leisurely, looked at it, and said with a faint smile, "It turns out that the handsome senior brother is here." ”

"Hmph!" Li Wenzhong was quite disapproving, "The army has its own rules in the army, killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, worshipping officials and entering the knighthood, this Taiping Xingguo * Division is too casual, and he actually calls a small captain a general in public." Old Li, look at this again!" he said, handing over a piece of paper that had just been sent in.

Li Shanchang looked at it and said with a smile, "Along the river, all the White Lotus elders bow down and worship as gods. "Pondering for a moment, "Xiaguan, Yanziji, Qixia Mountain, I'm afraid it's going to be there soon." ”

As soon as the words fell, a sergeant knelt down outside the hall, "Report, Taiping Xingguo* Division, come to pay a visit." ”

Wuxu landed on the clouds, stood outside the gate, looked at the sergeant who was in and out, capable and energetic, and diluted, nodded slightly, the enemy is current, the commander is calm, calm the army, this Li Wenzhong and the two are indeed doing a good job.

After a while, seeing a sergeant, he hurriedly ran over and invited himself in, Wuxu smiled at Lan Yu, but there was a haze in his heart. He is Zhu Yuanzhang's senior brother, he has sent the golden dragon, trained the new army, and guarded the next pass, and now the enemy is now, regardless of the immortal fate, he flew down to Lushan, and ran for the affairs of the world, but Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang only called a stunned sergeant to greet each other?

When he arrived at the hall, Wu Xuan quietly looked at Li Wenzhong and Li Shanchang in front of him. Li Shanchang, after Zhu Yuanzhang captured Yingtianfu that day, he had some intersection with him, but Li Wenzhong met for the first time.

There was silence in the hall, and Li Shanchang saw that Wuxu and Li Wenzhong couldn't stop looking at each other, and after not saying a word for a long time, he slowly got up and said with a smile, "Master Wuxu, don't come to harm?" Come on, how old is the old idiot, let me introduce it, this is Li Wenzhong, the governor of the capital, and the commander of Yingtianfu and the surrounding state capitals. ”

Wuxu exchanged pleasantries with Li Shanchang and Li Wenzhong, and just sat down.

Li Wenzhong, who had just had a spring breeze on his face, frowned slightly, and looked at Lan Yu standing beside Wuxu, "Who are you?

Wuxu's face sank, and when he saw Lan Yu coming out of his side, kneeling on the ground, and was about to reveal his identity to Li Wenzhong, who was at the top, he flicked his hand, held Lan Yu up, and said, "This is a disciple of the little monk, and Lan Yu is also." ”

In the Lamaism of the Yuan Dynasty, the master had many disciples, who served with him, counsellor secrets, and even had no covering* meeting. With the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, over time, many Buddhism in the Central Plains also have similar rules, that is, the disciples under the throne can follow the master and enter and exit without prohibition.

Wuxu, who was already displeased, saw that Li Wenzhong pressed Lan Yu with his military position, so he said that Lan Yu would be called his disciple according to the practice of Lamaism.

The blue jade was held up by a soft wind from Wuxu, and when he heard Wuxu say that he was a disciple under his seat, he couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, and he couldn't help but smile, and stood beside Wuxu respectfully, standing with his hands down.

Li Wenzhong couldn't get entangled with Wuxu about this, so he asked with a smile, "I don't know the * teacher, I visited late at night, what do you see?"

After thinking for a moment, Wu Xuan told the elders of the White Lotus Sect about their stubborn defense of the Yangtze River, and then asked, "The enemy army is very strong, if our side consumes all the foundations of the White Lotus Sect on the river, how should we deal with it later? There are many White Lotus Sect members in the army, and when the time comes, it will inevitably affect the morale of the whole army. The poor monks feared that the army would be scattered and restless. ”

Li Wenzhong glanced at Wuxu and replied, "Right now, our army is on passive defense, the enemy army has a large number of generals, and there are many lamas and demons, if our army does not dispatch Elder Bailian, it may be difficult to stop the Yuan army on the north bank and prevent it from landing on the south bank. ”

Wuxu pondered for a long time, "The elders of the White Lotus Sect are not ordinary soldiers, although their cultivation is not very high, but if they are used well, they are a powerful force that can call the wind and rain and defeat the enemy. Even if there is a need to fight, those lamas who accompany the army should not restrict their freedom of movement, and the replenishment of spiritual energy must also be guaranteed. ”

Li Wenzhong laughed, "The governor of Pontus just ordered him to block the enemy from crossing the river, and how to arrange the formation on the river and how to attack and defend it is up to each place to decide." Restricting freedom of movement, I don't know where *I heard about it?"

Wu Xuan didn't take this stubble, and asked again, "What about the elixir that replenishes the aura? Could it be that they just look at them, their aura is exhausted, and they are fighting and dying?"

Li Wenzhong glanced at Wuxu and pointed to the mountain-like military intelligence spy on the case, "Now there is a bloody battle everywhere, and the elixir has almost been used up." The master's mercy is admired by Wen Zhong; but he is not in charge of the army, and the so-called 'crockpot does not break from the well, and the general will inevitably die on the battlefield', since he has joined the righteous army, he must be prepared to lose his head. ”

Tzu is not in charge of the army. Wuxu listened to these four words and frowned slightly.

But Li Wenzhongfu said slowly, "Previously, Hu Dahai and Fu Youde led the troops north to reinforce Yingtianfu, but they were stationed in Yanziji and Qixia Mountain. Subsequently, after the Governor of Pontus and the Great Sima returned, they took charge of the overall situation, and only then did they tentatively decide to dispatch troops in this way. The master is the former senior brother of the great handsome, and the Dharma is profound, but I don't know if I know the details and the art of war?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu was cold in his heart, and quietly looked at the young Li Wenzhong.

Li Wenzhong's words are actually just one sentence: Do you know how to lead troops to war?

This is not a turning corner, saying that he does not know the details of the enemy and the enemy, and he doesn't understand the ball, relying on the reason that he is the same brother as Zhu Yuanzhang in the past, he is talking nonsense here, messing around, and supporting the White Lotus Sect indiscriminately???

As the so-called worry about the eastward flow of the Yangtze River, the white lotus will be temporarily retained.

Talk about the Buddhist scriptures and proclaim the Buddha's verse, and put a ball in front of the art of war.
