Chapter Fifty-Four: Righteousness Becomes the Heart of the Army
"Master, we've found out everything. Li Shouzhen's personal soldiers of 3,000 have been assembled, just waiting for Li Shouzhen's order to approach the palace, the Yicheng army is also ready to go, and the news has also spread outside the city, and there is no movement on the reserve army for the time being, but it is estimated that it will soon begin to rectify. We have about two hours to escape. ”
According to the original plan, the eighteen horsemen followed Zhao Kuangyin to the reserve army outside the city and dragged the 6,000 people. I'm going to drag the 8,000 volunteers in the west of Kaifeng City. As for the remaining 3,000 soldiers and guards...... There's always a way. Don't let General Guo know for the time being, Guo Dong's life is at stake, if he stops Li Shouzhen, I'm afraid that Li Shouzhen will really kill Guo Dong by jumping over the wall in a hurry. ”
"Don't worry, Guo will never miss a national event because of a child. Guo Wei suddenly walked in from the outer door and looked at Zong Xin through gritted teeth. Although Zong Xin's words just now moved him very much, and he had to make friends with such a person, but he was really still a monk, and he even let himself abandon national affairs for the sake of a child.
"Master Guo......"
Guo Wei said: "Master Zongxin's kindness Guo has received it, and I can only blame my son's bad life, and I can't blame my father's ruthless ......."
"Dad, you're right, if the second brother were here, I'd rather kill myself than see you stay at home and abandon the world. Li Shouzhen is not a Ming monarch, if he is allowed to win the country, the people of the world will definitely be more miserable than now. Although Guo Xin is young, he is generally knowledgeable, and he will never let his father be silent at this time.
"Then ...... It's hard for Lord Guo. Zong Xin sighed helplessly, but he was actually happy in his heart.
I said that on purpose just now, because when Guo Wei came over with Guo Xin, he heard their footsteps, and after he said this, Guo Wei would definitely stand up, and then take the world's major events as his responsibility, and leave Guo Mansion to stop Li Shouzhen, so that Li Shouzhen will definitely die.
"Master Zongxin is, you alone deal with the most elite troops in the 8,000 capital. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and a good man can't stand a lot of people, even if you have peerless skills, it is difficult to keep it out. ”
"They will never dare to attack the poor monks, but Lord Guo, you will gather your own soldiers later, stubbornly resist the six thousand men and horses, delay time, remember to defend to the death, and do not rush to attack. Zong Xin pointed at Zhao Kuangyin as he spoke: "Okay, let's hurry up and do our own things, remember that we can only succeed and not fail." ”
"What if it fails?"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you are a poor monk anyway. Lord Guo, Zhao Kuangyin and I have no ability, so we can only hold Li Shouzhen 14,000 people, and the main force will be handed over to you. ”
Guo Wei is depressed~ The two juniors have no ability?
One said that he wanted to hold off 6,000 reserve troops, the other said he wanted to hold down 8,000 elites, and he still had 2,000 soldiers, but it was difficult to deal with 6,000 men and horses, and he almost had to fight hard, who was incapable?
"Brother Yuen Long, do you dare to gamble with me?"
"This ...... Let's give it a try first, anyway, even if Li Shouzhen forces the palace, it doesn't matter to me. I can guarantee that 6,000 people outside the city will be dragged out, but I can't guarantee how long. The most important thing is the 8,000 people of the Yicheng Army, Zongxin, you have to be careful. ”
"I don't have a problem, you have to be careful. You must protect Zhao Kuangyin's safety, and if he has any damage, come and see him. ”
"Obey the master. ”
"Without further ado, let's go......" The seventeenth cavalry immediately took Zhao Kuangyin on the war horse, and then immediately galloped away outside the city.
"Guo Xin, it is safest for you to stay by your teacher's side. Your dad is going to do something earth-shattering. As he spoke, Zong Xin lifted Guo Xin up again, with a box in his left hand and a person in his right hand, and walked directly towards the outside of Guo's mansion.
Guo Wei watched everyone leave the Guo Mansion, and suddenly there was a very serious problem that there was no way to solve...... When to leave Guofu?
"Master and slow...... Who came back to tell me, when will I be able to leave Guo's mansion!Oh my God~ Can anyone tell me? Just wait here?" Guo Wei called as quietly as possible, but everyone had already gone away, and Guo Wei didn't dare to make too loud noises, for fear of being discovered by Li Shouzhen's spies and killing Guo Dong for no reason.
If it's because it's because of protecting the family and the country, it's understandable, but if it's because it's because the voice is too loud...... Guo Tong won't forgive himself.
Guo Wei squatted on the ground depressed, really not knowing what to do. If no one informs themselves...... I'm afraid that Li Shouzhen is still squatting at home when he arrives at the Hidden Emperor's Palace......
Zong Xin asked Guo Xin to lead the way and went directly to the Yicheng army camp in the west of the city, which was the only military camp in Kaifeng City, the last line of defense in Kaifeng, in addition to these 8,000 people, only 3,000 palace guards could protect Liu Chengyou's safety. Therefore, these 8,000 people are an absolute elite division, and they are usually treated very well and their training is also very strict.
Although Zong Xin was in a hurry, Guo Xin's footsteps were not big. It was already dark, and there was no one to be seen on the street. The streets are dark, except for the crescent moon glimmer, only a few large houses have lanterns hanging outside their doors.
"Master, there is a sentence that the apprentice does not know whether to say or not. ”
"Say, don't sell it in front of me. ”
Guo Xin said: "The two of us are going to drag down 8,000 regular troops...... The disciple is still young, the second brother is arrested and his life and death are uncertain, and the disciple still wants to marry a wife to continue the incense for the Guo family after returning to the world, can I not go?"
"Hmm~~?do you believe that you can't be a teacher?" Zong Xin gently stroked Guo Xin's little head: "Don't worry, you will never fight a battle that you are not sure of...... Even if there are 8,000 people, how can they be the opponents of the division? If they really fight for the division, they will kill all these 8,000 people within an hour. ”
"Master, don't shake your hands? ”
"I'm sorry......" Although Zong Xin's mouth was full of confidence, he was beating a drum in his heart.
Eight thousand people~ If they rush up, their fists will be invincible to their four hands, and the heroes will not be able to stand up to the crowd. No matter how powerful he is, he is also a mortal, he vomits when he drinks too much, and it hurts when he is beaten.
After walking for about half an hour, the two came to the west of the city, which is relatively desolate and has very few households, because a large area here is within the scope of the Yicheng Army, and there is a lot of movement every day. However, there are some good restaurants and green houses...... It should all be for these soldiers.
At this time, the barracks was very restless, but it was extremely quiet. The soldiers who were supposed to be resting were ready to go, and not even a single soldier on the night vigil was seen along the way.
Zong Xin walked along the fence next to the barracks, and the soldiers inside were also curious, what did the monk do with his apprentice to the Yicheng Army? And at this critical moment.
"The barracks are important, and idle people are not allowed to enter without permission. Someone reminded Zong Xin in the fence, but Zong Xin just nodded and continued to walk around the fence.
Going out to exercise late at night, getting ready to go, and in the past two days, Guo Wei's second son Guo Tong was kidnapped, and Guo Wei had to keep the news out of the door...... Li Shouzhen is already Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it, so there are no pedestrians on the road as soon as the sky is dark.
In fact, the soldiers were quite reluctant, and if they succeeded, they would get a reward of a few taels of silver at most, but if they failed...... That's a felony of stealing a family and destroying a family. Is it worth taking such a big risk for this money?
Zong Xin went around a long circle and finally found the entrance to the barracks, at this time there were more than a dozen soldiers guarding, and there was a large army behind him, and only a madman would go inside.
"Where did the mad monk come from? Didn't you see that this is the Kaifeng Yicheng Army barracks? Get out of here, or you'll ......" Before the words were finished, Guo Xin punched the guard in the stomach, and the severe pain made him unable to breathe or even straighten his waist, when the muscles finally returned to normal...... The man had fainted.
Guo Xin clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Master, I didn't hit the wrong person." ”
"Really good, people who talk a lot of nonsense like this in the future should have taken action a long time ago. Zong Xin suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Poor monk Zong Xin, ask to see the envoy of the Yicheng Army." ”
Zong Xin's voice was relatively loud, but his voice was very low, which shook everyone's chests and made it difficult to breathe. And after hearing the name Zongxin, none of the guards dared to move forward.
There are many legends about Zongxin, and each one is more than a god, everyone knows that this is an enlightened monk, but why did he appear here?
As soon as Zong Xin said his Dharma name, the entire military camp was instantly quiet, no one dared to move, and even his breathing and heartbeat involuntarily slowed down.
With a brief silence, the entire barracks was in an uproar, some did not believe, some were afraid, and some were excited......
"Quiet ......" A deep voice suppressed the momentum of all faces, and a military general about 40 years old walked out of the camp, with a majestic body and a golden armor that was daunting.
"This official is Murong Yanzhao, the commander of the Chengyi Army, I don't know what Master Zongxin came to say?" Murong Yanzhao could see at a glance that it was indeed Zongxin himself in front of him, and the other party's cultivation made him very afraid.
"Amitabha, the poor monk came here to send two things, and please make the adults smile. Zong Xin kept carrying a box in his left hand and threw it directly in front of Murong Yanzhao.
After Murong Yanzhao opened the box, it turned out to be a bloody human head, and the flesh and blood that had been cut were blurred...... Zong Xin took out a piece of white jade from his waist again, Murong Yanzhao was Li Shouzhen's cronies, and he recognized this piece of white jade as Li Shouzhen's personal belongings at a glance.
"This ...... Is it ......?"
Zong Xin nodded and said, "That's right, this is Li Shouzhen's head." ”
"How is it possible? How is it possible?" Murong Yanzhao kept shaking his head, not believing that all this was true. Although Master Zongxin is strong in martial arts, he will never be able to kill Li Shouzhen.
"Lord God rescued Guo Xin, Guo Wei rushed directly into the palace and killed Li Shouzhen. In order not to make a big mistake in the righteous army, the poor monk kindly reminded him. Zong Xin said loudly: "Now that Li Shouzhen is dead, if you dare to move, you will definitely raid your family and exterminate the clan." They are all people of the Han Dynasty, so why should they still fight among themselves? Even if Li Shouzhen is proclaimed emperor, what good will it do to you? It is nothing more than risking his own life to let others be promoted to official positions and make a fortune. ”
"The demon monk dared to disturb the hearts of our army, and he took it immediately. ”
Although Zongxin is reasonable, but the military order is like a mountain, and the festival makes the adults let someone come forward to take it. Zong Xin waved his hands, and suddenly the sky was dark, and a few thunderbolts flashed and hit Zong Xin's side.
No one thought that this monk would have such great ability, and he could summon lightning with a wave of his hands. Master Zongxin is a contemporary enlightened monk, how can he make a move on a monk?
