Chapter 635
Yuan Jue clasped his palms together and said: "The poor monk's hometown is in Gushi County, but it is not far from the place where Wang Han and Wang Baobao were born. There are still legends of these two men in the local area, and they are indeed two great famous generals. ”
Li Qiufeng nodded and said: "Wang Baobao is extremely capable of using troops, if it weren't for the discord between Emperor Mengyuan and the crown prince, the two sides were constantly fighting and attacking each other, so that Wang Baobao couldn't go south with confidence, but he was afraid of who the world would belong to, it was not yet known." Among the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was the most able to use troops, but in the end he was defeated by Wang Baobao in Mobei. Emperor Taizu once asked the ministers, who in the world can be called a strange man, and the ministers all said that they are brave and good at fighting, invincible, and run rampant in the world with less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, no one is invincible, and they can be called strange men. Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, Chang Yuchun can be regarded as a masterpiece, but he is my courtier. I have won the world, but I can't make Wang Baobao submit, this person can be called a strange man. ”
When Li Qiufeng said this, he sighed and muttered for a moment before continuing: "Yuntai Mountain is located in Henan, so it is naturally under Wang Baobao's control. If he knew that the Demon Sect, which had always opposed the Mengyuan Imperial Court, was making a big move in Yuntai Mountain, Wang Baobao would inevitably mobilize troops and horses to encircle and suppress the Demon Sect. And there are many martial arts masters in the Demon Sect, and they can mobilize the righteous armies from all over the country to help, even if the Yuan army wins, it can only be a miserable victory, and the losses are bound to be extremely heavy. When Zhu Yuanzhang launched a large-scale northern expedition, Wang Baobao's military horses were much weaker.
"The third bird is the martial arts sect. Lord Liu knows very well that if there is to have a peaceful and prosperous world, it is absolutely impossible to allow all the major sects to sit big. As Tai Shi Gong said, chivalry is forbidden by force. The government governs the people, and absolutely does not allow the people to resist by force. It is a battle to the death between the major sects and the Demon Sect, and the power will definitely decline. When Zhu Yuanzhang became the emperor, the power of the people against the government was much smaller.
"The Demon Sect pursued the master of the Infinite Pavilion, and attacked all the way to the Guannei, but it was penetrated into the deep valley. The masters of the various factions who had already been ambushed all came out and killed the Demon Sect together. Only then did the Demon Sect Leader realize that he had fallen into a big situation, so he immediately fought back with all his might, wanting to break out of the encirclement. The masters of each faction couldn't intercept it, and they were actually broken through the encirclement by the Demon Sect......"
When Yun Xuan heard this, he couldn't help but speak: "Li Daxia's words are wrong. Poor Dao grew up in the concept of infinity since he was a child, and he once heard his seniors talk about the war of the year. The Demon Sect originally planned to set fire to the Lord of the Honguan Guan in the Jasper Valley, but unexpectedly, the various sects came to the aid in time, and instead forced the Demon Sect into the valley. That Demon Sect Leader is extremely fierce, and in the end, he set himself on fire, how could he break through the encirclement?"
Li Qiufeng said: "That's because someone deliberately wants to hide the truth. According to Lord Liu's strategy, the various major sects of the martial arts killed and injured a large number of enemies when they ambushed the demon sect members. It's just that the Demon Sect dispatched nearly 10,000 people, although it was suddenly attacked and suffered heavy casualties, but the Demon Sect desperately rushed to kill, and the various sects still couldn't intercept it. In fact, the various sects did not exert their full strength at all. ”
The more Yun Xuan listened, the more frightened he became, and said in a trembling voice: "Li Daxia, this, how is this possible?"
Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "Daoist Yunxuan, you have grown up in the Wuji Temple since you were a child, and you don't know how many times you have walked through the stone cave in this cliff on the north side?"
Yun Xuan was stunned, he didn't know what Li Qiufeng meant by this, and when he was about to ask, he heard Li Qiufeng continue: "When Yun Xuan Dao came up and down from this stone cave, did he notice anything on the stone wall?"
Yun Xuan became more and more confused, and involuntarily turned his head to look at the stone wall. At this time, the sky was already bright, and there was light all around. Here is still fifty or sixty zhang away from the stone wall, but you can also see that the grass on the stone wall does not rise, and it is extremely steep. There are some potholes on the surface of the rock, but it looks like a human face has a lot of pockmarks.
Yuan Jue and the others also turned their heads to look at the stone wall, but they saw that there were many people standing on the top of the stone wall, thinking that those disciples of Wujiguan who were frightened away by the giant fled to the stone wall, and were standing on the top of the rock to watch.
Li Qiufeng said: "Yesterday I went to the bottom of this stone wall, and it was a little strange to see those potholes on the stone wall. When I was in the capital, I once saw the border army conducting exercises in Xishan. At that time, the Datong garrison used a kind of stone throwing vehicle in the exercise, called the return cannon, which could throw big stones and attack the defenders on the city wall, which was the most powerful. This return cannon was the sharp weapon of the Yuan army to attack the city, and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of equipment was included in the army. At that time, the border army fired at the city wall with return artillery, and some stones missed and hit the mountain wall, leaving traces that were the same as the potholes on the mountain wall. I was amazed to see that there were traces of backshelling on the stone wall. There is no city in this Yuntai Mountain, why would someone use the return cannon here? Later, when I came to the top of the cliff, I saw that there were many round stones piled up on the top of the cliff. If you have never seen the Hui Hui Cannon, you must have thought that this is a stone that the disciples of the Infinite Sect have found for defense. It's just that as soon as I saw the stone, I knew that it was a stone projectile fired from the return cannon.
"After a day and a night, I finally knew what these potholes and stone bullets were. When Lord Liu made a plan, he had instructed the leaders of the Shaolin and Wudang factions to set up an ambush in Yuntai Mountain, but it was not easy to pick the Demon Sect in one fell swoop. It is necessary to rely on the strength of the Yuan army to be foolproof. When the various major sects of the martial arts set up an ambush in Yuntai Mountain, they secretly reported to Wang Baobao, saying that the leader of the Demon Sect appeared in Yuntai Mountain with a large number of sect members. Wang Baobao repeatedly searched for the decisive battle of the Demon Sect Commander, but he never found it, and when he heard the news, he was naturally overjoyed. He mobilized troops and horses, and even brought powerful weapons such as return artillery to the foot of Yuntai Mountain. After the Demon Cult fell into an ambush, it fought back desperately. The various sects pretended to be unable to resist and let go of a path, causing the Demon Sect to flee here. The Yuan army, which had been waiting here for a long time, suddenly attacked with return artillery. You might as well think about it, how big the open space under this mountain wall can be? Thousands of Demon Sect members gathered here, and they were attacked by the Hui Cannon, and they were afraid that in the blink of an eye, they would be strewn with corpses, and countless casualties would be imposed. And this clearing is extremely flat, which is where the Tartar cavalry can show their skills. The Demon Sect members of the Demon Sect are naturally invincible in their confrontation with the Yuan Army here, but they are afraid that there will not be one out of ten. The remnants of the martial arts masters retreated to the top of the cliff, but they fell into the siege of the various major sects, and could only fight and retreat, and finally fled to the Jasper Valley. At that time, the masters of the Demon Sect must have been killed and wounded, and the Demon Sect Leader refused to surrender, so he could only burn himself to death. ”
When Li Qiufeng said this, he glanced at Yun Xuan and said: "The Demon Sect has been fighting since then, the sect leader, the elders, the hall masters, etc. have all died in battle, and the rudder groups in various places have no leader, and they were immediately disintegrated by Yuan Jun and Zhu Yuanzhang and others, and the Demon Sect that has been powerful for hundreds of years in the world has been completely wiped out. It's just that the overthrow of the Demon Sect was not caused by the forces of each major sect alone. Instead, he colluded with the Yuan army and framed the Demon Sect, which eliminated the great trouble. The Taoist chief might as well think about it, if the people of the world knew that the famous and decent sects of Shaolin and Wudang actually joined forces with the Yuan army to attack and destroy the Demon Sect, would these so-called famous and decent sects still have a foothold in the martial arts? After this battle, this big secret must not be leaked out. When Lord Liu set up this plan that day, only the leaders of Shaolin, Wudang, Huashan and other Liao Liao knew about it. The masters of the various sects only gathered around the Jasper Valley, and few people knew about the arrival of the Yuan army at the foot of the mountain. This is a big secret that has been kept by the infinite view for generations. It's just that although the Demon Sect was destroyed, Shaolin and Wudang were still worried that there would be fish that would slip through the net, so they sent the masters of their respective sects to hide in the Kongming Temple and the Xiaoyao Temple, and the Wuji Temple were each other's horns. If you find that a suspicious person has arrived at Yuntai Mountain, you must go all out to capture it, and you would rather kill it by mistake than let it go. ”
When Li Qiufeng said this, he turned to Dehe and Yun Xuan and said, "Two masters, real people, am I right?"
De Hé clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and did not answer. Yun Xuan sneered and said, "Whatever you say." It's just that the more you say, the greater the sin. ”
Li Qiufeng ignored her, and then said: "In the battle of Yuntai Mountain, the Demon Sect was destroyed, but the losses of the major sects of the martial arts were also extremely heavy, although the Yuan army relied on the return cannon to be powerful, and killed many Demon Sect members during the sneak attack. It's just that the Demon Sect members are not afraid of death when they fight, and thousands of people charge together, and the Yuan army will never be able to please them. In this battle, there were many dead on the three sides, and the total number was only more than 10,000 people. Daoist Yunxuan, do you know where these more than 10,000 corpses have gone?"
At this time, Yun Xuan's heart was shocked, and he only felt that everything he had heard in the Infinite View since he was a child had become unbelievable. When his mind was in a mess, he heard Li Qiufeng ask like this, but he didn't know how to answer, so he had to shake his head gently.
Li Qiufeng turned his head to look at the waterhole and said, "The more than 10,000 corpses were thrown into this waterhole. The black monsters we saw just now were the fish in the pool. Originally, these fish did not eat people, and they were not so big. It's just that after eating more than 10,000 corpses, fish that didn't eat people became fond of eating human flesh. And after eating human flesh, the bodies of these fish turned out to be extremely large, and they became man-eating fish. Later, Wujiguan found that there was this strange fish in this pool, and outsiders did not know about it, and if they wanted to swim through the pool, they would inevitably be eaten by this strange fish. The ferry boat was destroyed by a simple effort, and the waterhole became a terrible murderous mechanism. I'm afraid that in the past hundred years, there have been many martial arts masters who have died in the belly of the fish in the pool. Wujiguan only needs to guard the stone cave in the stone wall to keep Wujiguan safe and sound. The large and small stones on the top of the cliff are the stone shells of the return cannon fired by the Yuan army back then. Wujiguan gathered these stone bullets and placed them on the top of the cliff to serve as a defensive weapon. ”
Li Qiufeng said as he looked at the waterhole. Huijing said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that after the fish eat human flesh, they will become man-eating monsters? If I feed cats and dogs and eat human flesh, won't they become man-eating tigers and wolves?"
Li Qiufeng said in a deep voice: "It's not like nothing like this has never happened. At that time, Cao Cao's father was killed by Xuzhou Mu Taoqian's subordinates, and Cao Cao raised troops to take revenge and attack Xuzhou. Wherever the army passed, no matter the city or village, it was killed when it met people. A few years after the war, there were still no people in Xuzhou for hundreds of miles. The dogs that the people fed back then ate the carcasses to satisfy their hunger, but as a result, they became more ferocious than hungry wolves, attacking the living everywhere. ”
When he said this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Isn't it the same when you kill the first person? When you kill the first person, you will still feel fear and regret in your heart, but when you kill the second person, you are afraid that you won't even blink your eyes. ”
