Chapter 352 The torment in summer(1/2)
King Chu chose to let Chu Ruoyu follow him back to the decisive battle. He could not lock his daughter in the palace just because he was afraid of being hurt. After all, his son and daughter were still in the decisive battle with Yin Yue Er.
A hundred thousand troops were in confrontation.
It's just that Chu Ruoyu hasn't returned from Tianshui Imperial City yet, so Chu Feng and others still don't know.
Before waiting for the second princess, Li Xiuyuan first waited for Elder Huangfu and a group of academy students. Sitting in the living room of the city lord's mansion, he couldn't help but be surprised.
The scorching sun in the sky seemed to be tireless, shining hard on the decisive stage.
Even Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting quietly in the living room, had a thin layer of sweat on his face, let alone Huangfu Xuanming and others who had come from afar.
Looking at the group of people who suddenly walked in, Li Xiuyuan and the elder bowed their hands in greeting and pointed to a pot of herbal tea brewed by himself on the table.
He said speechlessly: "It's so hot, why don't you go to the academy to escape the heat?"
After a long time, Huangfu Xuanming, who was sitting down, said: "Next year the Shura battlefield will begin. I can't send these children who grew up in the greenhouse to be used as cannon fodder."
Li Xiuyuan looked at the seven or eight male and female students from Da Chu sitting in the living room and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He looked back at Elder Huangfu and asked, "May I ask the elder, can these students go to the battlefield? This is not about killing monsters, it is about killing people!"
It was scorching hot, and there wasn't even a cicada around, only the breathing of several people in the living room.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the sweat on Elder Huangfu's head and said with a smile: "Come on, let's have a cup of herbal tea to cool off the heat. I shouldn't be able to fight in the past few days."
Huangfu Xuanming looked at him and said with a wry smile: "These few words of yours have scared these children so much that they dare not speak."
After speaking, he looked at one of the women and said with a smile: "Chu Yanran, come and pour herbal tea for everyone. We will arrange a place for everyone to stay when the eldest princess comes back."
Chu Yanran, a young girl dressed in light yellow Luochu, walked forward and bowed her hands to Li Xiuyuan.
He said softly: "Chu Yanran from the academy has met the Grand Marshal. This is Chu Xiaolong, Chu Xiaoxue, Chu Fenglin, Chu Zhan, Chu Yu... They are all Da Chu's disciples in the academy, and they will be there next year.
Embark on the Shura battlefield!"
After a moment of silence, Li Xiuyuan and a group of academy disciples said, "Don't be too polite. I think back then I was just a handyman in the academy, and I'm not as mysterious as you think."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yanran lowered her head and remained silent, silently pouring tea for a group of junior and senior students.
Li Xiuyuan didn't know the reason why the King of Chu sent these disciples here. With Huangfu Xuanming there, it was not his turn to worry about this matter.
What worries him is that he doesn't know what Qingyue is thinking these days. If the Silver Moon Cavalry fights to the death, although he is confident that he can win this big battle, he will have to pay a lot of price, and this price he doesn't want to pay.
.
He doesn't believe in the principle that one general's success can lead to the destruction of thousands of bones.
He wanted the soldiers on both sides to be alive.
So, he was suffering inside the city, and the Silver Moon army was suffering outside the city.
Everyone is testing each other's patience to see who can't stand it first.
At this moment, Chu Feiyan brought Chu Wudi and Chu Feng back to the city lord's mansion from the river embankment.
...
"Uncle, why are you here? And don't you need to practice in the academy? Why are you all coming to the battlefield?" Chu Feng looked at the group of people sitting in the living room and sighed softly.
The weather was extremely hot and they were anxious. The three of them had not slept well for several days. They were so anxious that they got angry. They drank an unknown amount of herbal tea, but it had no effect.
Not only the general, but also the two siblings Chu Feiyan and Chu Feng were shocked when they saw that a group of students from the academy had traveled all the way to the decisive stage regardless of the heat.
"Can't we come to the battlefield?" Huangfu Xuanming asked with a smile as he looked at the three of them.
"Chu Yanran has met the eldest princess, met the great general..." Chu Yanran and a group of Chu's disciples came up to meet and greet her.
They were still a little nervous talking to the Grand Marshal Li Xiuyuan just now, but when they saw Chu Feiyan coming, everyone started chirping like little birds.
Chu Wudi looked at Huangfu Xuanming and sighed, and said: "It's so hot today that we don't want to move. I didn't expect that my uncle would come all the way here to watch the battle."
"Do you think I am willing to come all the way from the academy? These children have never experienced life and death. The Shura battlefield will open next year. How will you let them face those unknown dangers?"
Huangfu Xuanming looked at Chu Wudi and said helplessly.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the group of people who were sweating outside, frowned and said: "Nowadays, the army is fighting, and there is no challenge to the generals from soldiers to soldiers. Is it possible to organize them into a team?"
Chu Wuyan looked at the group of chattering students. These were all disciples of Da Chu. No one could miss them, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then replied quietly: "Right now, our opponents haven't launched an attack yet, so Chu Feng will form a small team with you, and add some more soldiers to join in, and train with the army."
Li Xiuyuan pointed at the City Lord's Mansion under the scorching sun and said, "Don't be afraid of hardship. The more you endure during training, the less blood you will shed when you go to war with the opponent."
Chu Feng followed Li Xiuyuan's gaze and asked thoughtfully: "I wonder when Princess Qingyue will launch an attack. It has been five or six days since the last time, right?"
Li Xiuyuan was startled after hearing this, and blurted out: "Why don't you challenge them in front of their formation and ask them to send people to fight you alone? And train these students by the way?"
Huangfu Xuanji shook his head in opposition, looked at everyone and said in a solemn voice: "The challenge is meaningless. Even if you win, it will not change the entire battle situation. It is time-consuming, laborious and dangerous, and is not advisable."
Chu Feiyan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "You can train with the army in the city. Overcome any difficulties. After winning a war, we can discuss the Shura battlefield when we go back."
After hearing what the eldest sister said, Chu Feng couldn't help but slap the table and applauded: "Let's do it like this. Now, please arrange a place for them, General. I'll treat everyone to a drink later in the evening."
"That's it. If you want to participate in the battle, you must first participate in training!" Li Xiuyuan also expressed support.
Huangfu Xuanming waved his hand and asked Chu Yanran to lead a group of students to follow Chu Wudi to find a place to live.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the hot sky outside the hall and said faintly: "Let's just play with them slowly and see who can outlast whom in the end?" After saying that, he looked back at Chu Feiyan and laughed.
The sunshine above the City Lord's Mansion continues to be as hot as ever.
The cicadas on the branches in the garden screamed desperately in the heat, as if to say: "I know, I know, I know your secret!"
...
Decisive victory outside the pass.
Qingyue and Qin Miaoyu were sitting under the newly built bamboo shed, making herbal tea to relieve the heat.
This was already the sixth day after Li Xiuyuan set off a big fire. Qin Miaoyu didn't know what kind of big game Princess Qingyue was playing in her heart.
These days she has been in this depressing, hot, and irritable atmosphere. Qin Miaoyu knew that she was worried, so he did not dare to talk to her anymore.
"The outpost brought news that there is no movement in the decisive battle city. It seems that they are trying to be patient with us and want to wear us to death and break our confidence."
Princess Qingyue shook the fan in her hand and took a sip of herbal tea.
Qin Miaoyu looked at the Shengshengguan Tower not far away and said softly: "They should be waiting for us to attack, right?"
Qingyue smiled lightly and said, "Of course I won't do what they want."
Qingyue withdrew her gaze, looked at the puzzled Qin Miaoyu in front of her, frowned slightly and said, "Tomorrow they will know that their calculations were wrong, and the things I arranged have finally made progress."
Qin Miaoyu was stunned, looked at her and said with a smile: "No more fighting? End the war? Are you willing?"
Qingyue did not answer her question, but continued to look in the direction of the decisive victory gate building, and said quietly: "Because they didn't expect that we gave them a big surprise. It won't be long before we can capture this city."
Xiongguan."
"We have the upper hand now, what are we afraid of?" Qin Miaoyu was a little confused.
"I changed my mind and stopped charging desperately. Will we die? How many deaths will we need to win this war? I want them to surrender obediently and be afraid when they see us!"
Qingyue stared at the thin cloud in the sky, wondering when the weather would give her a heavy rain.
She was enduring the decisive victory over Da Chu's army, and she was also enduring herself. Both sides were competing for patience and courage.
But what he didn't know was that Li Xiuyuan, who was victorious in Guanzhong, treated her like an eagle!
Two wars, who is the final winner?
...
Yuan Zhen Buddhist Hall in Thousand Buddha Temple.
Today Emperor Yinyue quietly came to Qianfo Temple to meet his and his sister's master, Monk Yuanzhen.
There was a pot of herbal tea and several plates of snacks placed in front of Yuan Zhen. There were only two people in the Buddhist hall, the emperor Ye Mingyu and the monk Yuan Zhen.
"Master, the war ahead is not going well. Should we end this war and recall the eldest princess?"
After resuming his practice, Ye Mingyu's face gradually became rosy, no longer as pale as when he just met Xiao Long.
Yuan Zhen looked up at the Bodhisattva on the Buddhist altar and sighed softly.
Looking at him, he replied: "As a monk, I naturally hope that everyone will retreat. This will be a good thing for the Silver Moon Kingdom and the people of the Dachu Kingdom."
Ye Mingyu looked at him quietly without saying a word. He just picked up the herbal tea from the noodles and took a sip gently.
Yuan Zhen continued: "However, as the king of a country, if you recall the eldest princess at this time, I am afraid it will have an impact on the morale of the Silver Moon Army, and this impact will last for decades to come."
As the emperor, Ye Mingyu looked at Yuan Zhen and sighed, and said quietly: "I have also discussed this matter with the Imperial Master, and I have come to the same conclusion as the Master. This is really a dilemma decision."
Yuan Zhen looked at him and smiled and replied: "Even ordinary people will encounter dilemmas, let alone you as the king of a country? If you have compassion, you should not have raised your sword and gun in the first place."
"I just fired my bow without turning back. Now the army is trapped in the battlefield of Dachu. Lao Na is just an outsider, but he does not have the wisdom of the kings in the world. This decision is really difficult to make."
At this time, Yuan Zhen remembered what Li Xiu Yuan had said: Buddha is also a demon.
For monks, there are still temptations from Buddhas and demons, not to mention beings who are struggling in the world?
"Buddha has no hatred, but demons do. On that day when the Buddha was about to attain enlightenment under the bodhi tree, the demon came to seduce him with hatred... The Buddha could not be moved and could overcome the magic power.
, achieved Buddhahood. It can be seen that Buddha does not hate demons."
