Chapter 144: Hitting the Rabbit (Happy New Year's Day)
Ran Liang led hundreds of secret guards to kill Shi Di, of course Shi Di saw this small army, he was already angry because the battle situation was not going well, and now he saw that these hundred and ten enemies dared to provoke him, he was even more angry. He took out his spear and wanted to lead people to rush forward, but he was stopped by someone, if it weren't for his loyal subordinates, it is estimated that Ran Liang would really be able to take the head of the party among the ten thousand generals, although Shi Di is also a master of the divine stone, but his current strength is only the seventh layer of the human realm, I have to say that Chu Yun overestimated him.
Shi Di waved his hand and asked more than 100 guards to intercept Ran Liang and others, if Shi Di's behavior would definitely be very popular in the West, after all, he had such a chivalrous demeanor, but Ran Liang did not have any grace, and the more than 100 Shi Di's personal guards were instantly beheaded under the horse, and Shi Di's face turned green.
"It's Shi Zhan, it's Shi Zhan, Your Highness. Someone recognized Ran Liang's identity, Shi Di heard that the person who came was his goduncle, and his face turned white with fright, you must know that Ran Liang has been under Shi Le's hands for nearly ten years, and the name of bravery has spread all over the world, known as the second fierce general of Hou Zhao, second only to Shi Hu, how could Shi Liang not know. Moreover, Shi Le had asked Ran Liang to teach him some of the martial arts of his descendants, and Shi Le had been repaired by Ran Liang many times, and he had already left a very serious shadow in his heart.
"Quick, come and protect me. Shi Di said in a panic, nearly 10,000 troops were so frightened by Ran Liang that they shrank up, and there was no one.
Ran Liang glanced at Shi Di's direction with disdain, but he didn't expect Shi Di to be so strong and capable. The brave Shi Hu was really sad for him to give birth to such a son, he didn't want to rush into battle at all, Chu Yun's instructions were all in his heart. Ran Liang took the head of the dark guard horse and ran towards Shi Di's general flag, Ran Liang stabbed the spear in his hand, and he slammed it into the middle of the flagpole of the general flag, and then raised his arms and broke the flag in response, and the two secret guards cooperated tacitly to hug Shi Di's general flag.
"According to the original plan, you will take the generals to the rear of the Shidi army, and I will stay behind to block them. More than thirty secret guards didn't speak, and left with the flag, while Ran Liang pointed his big gun and rushed towards Shi Di with the remaining secret guards.
Without waiting for Shi Di to react, he saw Ran Liang who turned his horse's head and killed him, hundreds of loyal guards came up, they were all the most elite warriors of the Qiang tribe, and they never knew what it meant to be afraid, but unfortunately, their determination was good, but their strength was far worse than that of Ran Liang and the secret guard.
Ran Liang's spear was like a dragon, and the secret guard swung his sword like the wind, killing hundreds of people in just a quarter of an hour, Shi Di finally became frightened, he actually made a move that no one expected, abandoned his army and fled. His run completely made the nearly 10,000 guards around him mess up the camp, some of the guards fled with Shi Di, and some of them continued to kill Ran Liang, but unfortunately no one thought of informing the Zhixiong on the front line.
When Shi Di's army was preparing to completely defeat the Ming army in one go, the secret guard came behind Shi Di's army with Shi Di's general flag and a head that could not be seen.
"Shi Di is dead, and those who descend will not die. More than thirty secret guards shouted with all their might, although they were hoarse and ugly, but they still made many Shi Di soldiers hear. When he saw Shi Di's general flag and Shi Di's personal guards who fled from afar, Zhixiong also had no skills, so he could only rack his brains to take the army to withdraw safely, so that he might be able to save his own life.
But Wang Luan and others, who had long had different intentions, were overjoyed when they heard that Shi Di was dead, and they took the 20,000 cavalry they had already gathered to be the first to flee without waiting for the orders of Zhixiong.
Wang Jie immediately ordered the cavalry of the Iron-Blooded Tiger Army, which had long been holding back his anger, to kill it, and as soon as the 40,000 army moved at this time, even Zhixiong was desperate, and he also began to flee, and the rout of Shi Di's army was inevitable.
Chu Yun carried the monk and returned directly to Hangu Pass, and Chu Yun was not worried about Wang Jie and Ran Liang's command skills at all.
"Monk, are you Buddha Tucheng? I don't have a good temper, if you don't cooperate, then I can only use means. Chu Yun threw the monk on the ground, and he took out a bottle of fruit wine from the space and drank it in a big gulp.
"Donor, the name is just a code name, I am also entrusted by others, I don't want to be too much of Your Majesty's enemy, ah, my legs. Chu Yun didn't wait for him to finish speaking, the Source Sword appeared in his hand, and with a single sword, he cut off the monk's thigh by the roots.
"I said, I said, I'm not Buddha Tucheng, that's my senior brother, my name is Huifa, I'm his junior brother. The monk was frightened by Chu Yun's simple and brutal methods.
"This is good, you are all Shi Hu's father's disciples?How many of your senior brothers, what are you the best in strength?What skills are they proficient in?" Chu Yun's true qi left his body, and Hui Fa's blood immediately stopped, Hui Fa looked at Chu Yun with his mouth open, how could he not see that Chu Yun's demon source murderous qi and true qi were not the same attribute at all, it turned out that Chu Yun didn't use all his strength to deal with them, and he didn't dare to be careless.
"Back to Your Majesty, I am the three brothers, Fo Tucheng is my senior brother, I don't know what he is proficient in, but he is very accurate in every prediction, and I have hardly seen him miss. Chu Yun immediately remembered the deeds of Buddha Tucheng, this person also left a lot of reputation in the original history, and now there are records of his deeds on the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. The most famous ones are nothing more than hearing the bell and breaking things, washing the intestines with water and Longgang curse water.
Wen Ling's break happened a few years ago, Liu Yao and Shi Le fought, Liu Yao fled in the wilderness, and fell into the water on horseback. Shi Le's son Shi Kan took the opportunity to capture Liu Yao alive and escorted him to Shi Le's tent. At this time, Buddha Tucheng mixed it with sesame oil rouge and applied it to the palm of his hand, and saw that there were many people in the palm of his hand, one of whom was tied up, and the vermilion silk thread was tied around his neck. Therefore, Fo Tucheng told Shi Hong: "Liu Yao has been captured. "When Buddha Tucheng told him, it was when Liu Yao was captured, and it was impossible for someone to inform him, which was completely calculated by himself without knowing what method.
It is precisely because of this reason that Shi Le has more and more trust in Buddha Tucheng, Buddhism has almost become the state religion of Later Zhao, completely overpowering Taoism, under the influence of him and his disciples, regardless of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism is highly respected, and his far-reaching influence can be called the first person to revive Buddhism in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Chu Yun had heard of this person for a long time, and now that he had affirmed the magic of this person from his junior brother's mouth, Chu Yun attached even more importance to him.
"My second senior brother is a high-ranking monk from Tianzhu, who came to Tuyuhun from Tianzhu to preach, and was dormant by my master's Buddhism and became a disciple of my master. He didn't have a name, he just called himself a monk of Tianzhu, and the Ningbo car who came with me was his disciple. The second senior brother's body is like glue, no matter how big the injury is, he can recover as before, and his strength is very strong, but he is also a master of the divine stone, and he has never seen him use his strength. Huifa said respectfully.
"Some of you senior brothers are proficient in divine sense, oh you may not understand this, are some people good at controlling people's spirits?" Chu Yun asked again.
"I don't know about this, and I haven't seen two senior brothers use it, but it's my master and him. As soon as Hui Fa mentioned his master, his face changed wildly, Chu Yun had already prepared, he pressed one hand on Hui Fa's head, and his divine sense entered Hui Fa's sea of knowledge, Hui Fa's sea of knowledge had already rioted, and he had not cultivated the essence core, so Chu Yun did not find the root of the riot for a while. But this can't help Chu Yun, Chu Yun turned his divine sense into a net and protected Hui Faxiao's poor Zhihai, Chu Yun didn't believe that this Zhihai could still explode.
Hui Fa covered his head for a long time before sitting up sweating profusely, he immediately thanked Chu Yun for saving his life, Chu Yun sneered: "Hui Fa, it seems that your status under your master is not very good, your master has given you a ban, if you mention your master, you will die." If it weren't for me, you'd be dead today. Hui Fa's face was also ugly, Chu Yun could think of it, how could he not think that he directly abandoned the dignity of the monk and knelt in front of Chu Yun, hoping that Chu Yun could save him.
Chu Yun glanced at Hui Fa, and said something about this bear, which really made Chu Yun's good impression of Shijiao dissipate, but Chu Yun still wanted to get more news from Hui Fa's mouth, so Chu Yun opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and obedient, and don't say anything else, I will never kill you." What's so good about being a monk, it's better to marry a wife and have children for a chic life. Of course, the ugly words are said in the front, I want to take back your divine stone, even if I keep it for you, I can't keep it, but it will make you die faster, what do you think?"
Chu Yun put the conditions out like this, which made Huifa believe that Chu Yun would let him go, he thought about his master treating him like this, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his betrayal, so he nodded and agreed.
When Hui Fa finished saying all the things he knew, Chu Yun stretched out his hand to take back the divine sense in his sea of consciousness, and then took out the divine stone in his body by the way, Hui Fa immediately covered his head and cried out in pain.
"You don't keep your word. Hui Fa's cry Chu Yun couldn't hear it, he had already gone up to the city wall, and soon Hui Fa jumped into a pile of minced meat.
"That person's divine sense is much stronger than mine, I can't suppress it, but it's good news, listening to Huifa's statement, his master shouldn't have reached the heavenly level, so I don't need to worry too much, hehe." Chu Yun saw that the Iron-Blooded Tiger Army had already returned with a large number of prisoners, and the secret guard had lost a lot this time, so it looked like it should be replenished, Chu Yun said with a wicked smile.
Chu Yun stayed in Hangu Pass for another ten days, and the results of the battle had been counted, the Ming army had nearly 30,000 casualties, and the battle of the trapped beasts of the Shi Di army was still very powerful. The 130,000 troops brought by Shi Di were killed or wounded, and the corpses found alone have exceeded 40,000, plus more than 30,000 people who were captured, which means that Shi Di threw at least 70,000 people this time. This is really nerve-wracking, and several of his younger brothers are still eyeing each other, Shi Di is fleeing, but life will definitely be very hard.
Chu Yun left Wang Jie and handed over the infantry of the Zhendong Army and the Iron-blooded Tiger Army to him, and asked him to take advantage of the defeat of Shi Di's army to occupy the territory of Sili Prefecture as much as possible, and bring back everything that could be looted.
Chu Yun took the remaining 30,000 cavalry of the Iron-Blooded Tiger Army to the southern front of the Ming Dynasty, and he was going to meet his old friend Wen Qiao, who missed him for many years.
Of course, in fact, Chu Yun doesn't have to go, Xie Ai has already beaten Wen Qiao and doesn't want it, not that Wen Qiao is a straw bag, but Dachengguo's efforts are dragging its feet, the supply of grain and grass for the Eastern Jin Dynasty army depends on Dachengguo's mood, and the ships sent by the Eastern Jin Dynasty to deliver grain have been detained by Dachengguo, Wen Qiao can still resist Xie Ai's attack with his own command, which is already very remarkable.
Moreover, Dacheng Guo also sent a messenger to unite Xie Ai to completely eat Wen Qiao's army, if it weren't for Dachengguo just wanting to see the excitement and unwilling to shoot directly, Xie Ai would have agreed a long time ago. Chu Yun chose the southern front because it was best to end the battle as soon as possible here, and of course by the way, pull Dachengguo into the water and let them go dog-eat-dog, so as not to make trouble for themselves.
Speaking of Wen Qiao's current situation, it is completely caused by the Eastern Jin Dynasty itself, you know, in the years after Liu Yao broke through Chang'an, Luoyang, Yuzhou and other places were in their hands, at that time, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, was also known as the most incompetent founder of the Jin Yuan Emperor The territory controlled by the emperor was the largest and richest, and as a result, Sima Rui perfectly inherited the fine tradition of his predecessor Sima family who only paid attention to internal fighting and did not pay attention to the outside world.
This caused Wen Qiao to take advantage of the encounter of Dachengguo, do you say that the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty are brainless? They were bullied by the Hu people, and they endured it. Bully again, endure again. In the end, he became a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, but Chu Yun was an authentic Han emperor and they were unusual, and they fought hard to destroy Chu Yun, isn't it sick.
Besides, you are looking for a reliable one to unite with the Hu people, Dachengguo's desire for the southern and central regions of the Eastern Jin Dynasty is almost as well known to passers-by as Sima Zhao, the ancestor of the Sima family, if you don't go to unite Houzhao, you actually run to unite Dachengguo, it's really blind.
So many famous generals in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were completely dragged down by the Sima family, Zu Ti, Wen Qiao, Wang Dao, Huan Wen, Tao Kan, etc., these people's abilities are all first-class, but unfortunately, the Eastern Jin Dynasty is still half-dead and has no action.
The IQ of the entire Sima family has lived to Sima Yi, and the IQ of Sima Shi, Sima Zhao, and Sima Yan after him are all in arrears, not to mention the unfilial descendants behind. Sima Yan, as the founder of the country, has one of the largest harems in Chinese history, he recruited more than 5,000 concubines at one time, and also ordered unmarried women in the country to be ready to become their own women. Forget about these, after all, you are the emperor, but don't you look at the fact that the country was disrupted because of the division of feuds in history? Far away, it's not the rebellion of the seven kings of the Han Dynasty. Sima Yan didn't care, he just wanted to divide the seal, and then there was the Eight Kings Rebellion. In Chu Yun's opinion, the royal families of the Sima family were all nervous and abnormal.
Speaking of the Sima family, these people are angry, but as opponents, the group of people in the Sima family are definitely excellent opponents, and they can make people feel that their IQ has improved a lot. When Chu Yun came to the place where Hanzhong and Yongzhou were fighting. Wen Qiao's experience has actually reached the point of exhaustion, not only have all the supplies been exhausted, but even the news cannot be delivered. Now the 50,000 army that has been fighting with Xie Ai for a long time seems to be waiting for death.
According to the news that Zhou Yan inquired, Dachengguo not only negotiated with Daming, but also negotiated with the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the bargaining chip was Wen Qiao's 50,000 people, Chu Yun can be regarded as having a new understanding of Dachengguo's brazenness. Chu Yun is such a person, but he is most annoyed by such a person, I have to say that this is an irony.
"Your Majesty, that's all the news, in order to obtain the entire Nanzhong region, Dacheng has mobilized most of the troops in the country, and these 50,000 people in Hanzhong are their entire strength. However, 40,000 of them are new soldiers, but Hanzhong is surrounded by high mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is why Wen Qiao's army cannot retreat. Xie Ai reported to Chu Yun that during this time, Xie Ai was able to stalemate with Wen Qiao, which shows that he is really a leader.
"Tell me, if we beat the rabbit with grass and take down Hanzhong?" Chu Yun opened his mouth to ask, Xie Ai's eyes lit up, he had always felt that Dacheng was a potential ally of Da Ming, but he didn't think about fighting together.
"Your Majesty, they are like turtles with shrunken heads, we are not easy to fight, many places are not suitable for the march of large armies, even if we have more troops, it will not be enough for them to consume. Otherwise, Li Xiong would not have been relieved to put 40,000 recruits here. Xie Ai thought about it and shook his head in denial.
Of course, Chu Yun also knew that the difficulty of Shu Dao was difficult to go to the blue sky, this was not Li Taibai's artistic processing, this was a real thing.
"Didn't their envoys come? We told them that we must send troops to attack the rear of Wen Qiao's army, and if they don't do it, we will support Wen Qiao to fight them, and Li Xiong will dare not send troops at that time? As long as he sends troops, we will swallow them in one gulp, and then use the capture of Hanzhong as a threat to force Li Xiong to declare war on the Eastern Jin Dynasty, completely cutting off their back road, and then Dacheng can only completely stand on our side. When they are almost done, we can completely tear up the agreement and attack Dacheng, and the country of abundance will become our bag, and with the support of Yizhou, we can completely compete with Hou Zhao. Chu Yun said confidently.
Sometimes the relationship between countries is so complex that ordinary people can't understand it. For example, why are the flower planters of later generations much stronger than those small countries, but they still let those small countries jump. But sometimes the relationship between countries is very clear, that is, the law of the jungle eats the strong, for example, the Citi country of later generations can fight whoever he wants. Although the national strength of the Ming Dynasty is not as good as that of Hou Zhao, it is not a little bit stronger than the Dacheng country, if you are disobedient, I will beat you, and I will ask you if you are convinced.
