Xuanhui came back from the back mountain, carrying a pot of clear spring water in her hand, and slowly walked into the abbot's room.
Monk Hongrui in the prison was talking to Abbot Mojie.
"I heard that five generals from Prince Wu's palace have rushed to Jade Buddha Pass. Prince Wu killed Deshan at Zhenguo Temple, and Shi Le and Kong Ji are gathering troops to besiege."
"It looks like there will be a big battle in Zhenguo Temple, and there will also be a fierce battle between King Wu and Kong Ji."
Hongrui said it carefully because Mojie was a disciple of Kongji.
Although it was all in the past, I was still worried that Mojie would be unhappy if I spoke about it now.
Xuanhui hung the teapot on the briquette stove, and the water dripping from the pot fell on the red briquettes, making a sizzling sound.
Mojie sighed slightly and said: "Amitabha, I have already told King Wu to let him kill fewer people."
"But in war, people always die."
"Everyone has his own cause and effect, and everyone has his own destiny. Everything is fate."
When Hongrui saw what Mojie said, he didn't know whether Mojie cared or didn't care.
"This is a new tea sent by Master Tongzhi of Baoguo Temple in Nanliang. Please try it in the prison."
Master Tongzhi once listened to Mojie's teachings, and later he often came to Zhenfo Temple to listen to the teachings. The two became good friends.
Mojie picked up a new jar of tea. The spring water had already boiled.
Mojie slowly brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup for Hongrui, and said, "Try it."
Hongrui picked up the tea cup and slowly tasted the new tea.
....
Zhenguo Temple.
Long Chen was in the room, Zhang Qian picked up the Qinglong armor and put it on for Long Chen.
"Jun Tao said that Shi Le has already sent troops, and they will be at the foot of the mountain at noon."
Xichang had spies in Yangcheng, and the news that Shi Le sent troops reached Zhenguo Temple.
Long Chen said: "It's almost as we expected. The troops were assembled yesterday and we will send troops for a decisive battle today. Shi Le is impatient."
In the battle at Zhenguo Temple, Deshan was defeated so miserably that it was normal for him to be unconvinced.
I was not convinced, so I wanted to lead my own troops to fight Long Chen.
"My husband, do you have any plans?"
There are 100,000 Long family troops in Zhenguo Temple, 50,000 in Chiyan Temple, and 50,000 in Jade Buddha Pass.
The Long family army had a lot of troops, but Shi Le used 400,000 troops this time.
If there was a head-on confrontation, the Long Family Army would probably suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, Zhang Qian asked Long Chen if he had any plans.
Long Chen shook his head and said: "No, not every time we can have a surprise attack, sometimes it is a tough battle, whoever is stronger will win!"
After putting on the green dragon armor, Zhang Qian brought it to her pocket.
Long Chen slowly put it on and took off the iron gun on the wall. The body of the gun was engraved with dragon patterns.
This gun was reforged by Gongsun Linglong and specially engraved with dragon patterns.
After finishing dressing up, Long Chen thought for a moment, took out a box from the cabinet, and took out a musket.
"What's this?"
Zhang Qian has never seen such a short musket.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Maybe the new gadget I made in Linglong Pavilion can be used today."
Zhang Qian asked: "Did you ask Linglong to forge it?"
Long Chen thought for a while and said: "Yes."
In fact, it was forged by Wang Juan. Seeing the musket, Long Chen thought of Wang Juan again.
Wang Juan looks ordinary, but her body structure is very special, and she belongs to the winding path.
After the battle was over, Long Chen wanted to go to Linglong Pavilion to find her again.
Hiding the musket under his armor, Long Chen said: "Let's go!"
Opening the door, Long Chen walked out. Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun and Bai Tingting were all wearing armor. Han Ziping and Ye Chang were also waiting at the door.
"King Wu!"
All the generals surrendered their hands to see you.
Long Chen said: "Everyone enters the formation and has a good fight with Shi Le today!"
The generals took the order and returned to their own formations.
Long Chen held the spear and walked slowly to the west.
The cold spring wind blows the ground, blowing sand and dust all over the sky, and the sun in the sky becomes dim.
Long Chen raised his head and looked at the dusky sky. The battle flags of the Long family army were waving. This weather was perfect for fighting.
Long Chen mounted his horse, holding a spear, and stood in front of the formation, waiting for Shi Le's army to arrive.
Ta da da...
The dull and chaotic sound of horse hooves came, and the dust in the distance rose up, and was blown by the wind to the Long family army's position.
"The Xixia army has arrived!"
The waiting rider ran back quickly and shouted loudly.
The officers and soldiers of the Long Family Army clenched their weapons and stared at the military flags and figures slowly appearing in the west.
Ye Chang, who was on the mountainside, looked to the west and could see the monks and soldiers of Zhaoti Temple, the iron kites, and the tenants in disorder.
These tenants were obviously put together in a haphazard manner. They didn't even have any clothes or armor. They just walked over in tattered clothes and holding knives and guns.
Ye Chang spat: "These white-eyed wolves!"
At the bottom of the mountain, Long Chen looked over on his horse. The first person who appeared was Tie Yaozi, headed by two generals. Long Chen had an impression of these two people, one was Fu Hui and the other was Ma Xing.
Seeing the two of them playing vanguard, Long Chen felt very funny.
call out!
Han Ziping shot a whistle arrow, and the crossbowman immediately followed up and shot a wave of feather arrows.
The feathered arrows fell on the ground and drew a straight line formed by the feathered arrows, blocking the front of the Xixia cavalry.
When Fu Hui and Ma Xing saw the arrows flying over, they immediately stopped their horses, and the iron kites behind them also stopped.
When two armies are facing each other, they first shoot a wave of arrows to mark the distance. The middle area is where the two armies will fight. This is a routine operation in battle.
The vanguard cavalry stopped, and so did Shi Le's army behind them.
A general platform was quickly built, and Shi Le slowly climbed onto the general platform, with personal soldiers guarding Shi Le.
Kong Ji, the Crown Prince Shi Haoran, and Privy Councilor Lu Qichang stood in front, while Zhong Gui stood beside him to serve.
The war drums were set up, and the strong drummer picked up the drumsticks and beat the drum head hard, making a thumping sound that spread throughout the battlefield.
Shi Le sat on the dragon chair, looked at the Long Family Army flag flying on the Zhenguo Temple, and said: "Let the pioneer general challenge!"
The messenger immediately galloped to the front of the formation and shouted: "The king has an order, the vanguard general goes to challenge!"
After the order was delivered, the messenger immediately returned to the general station to wait for the new order.
After hearing the king's order and looking at Long Chen holding a spear opposite, Fu Hui turned to look at Ma Xing and said: "Commander Ma, you are a general, you go ahead."
Ma Xing had seen how powerful Long Chen was, so how could he be willing to go?
"Master, you are the head of the Wushu Monk Academy of Zhenguo Temple. You are very skilled in martial arts, so you should go."
The two of them persuaded each other to come forward, which looked very funny.
"That's all, we can't escape today. Let's go together."
Fuhui turned around and glanced at the general platform behind him. Shi Le was sitting on it, looking at him.
Ma Xing looked back at Shi Le and let out a long sigh: "Let's go together, there will be someone to look after us on the way."
The two rode out into battle, and Xixia's war drums beat louder.
Fu Hui and Ma Xing rode out into battle. Zhang Qian looked behind Long Chen and turned to ask Han Ziping: "Who are these two vanguard generals?"
I have never met Dugu Jiali, Wu Chuchu, Wu Xiangyun, and Bai Tingting. I am very curious about who the pioneer general of Xixia is.
Fuhui has a ferocious face, a crescent moon Zen staff in his hand, and huge Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. He looks good.
Ma Xing is a tall man with a long spear in his hand and looks like a fierce general.
When Han Ziping saw Fuhui and Ma Xing coming out of the battle, he laughed and said: "These two... haha... why are they these two?"
"What the general doesn't know is that of these two people, the Bald Donkey is Fu Hui, the head of the Wushu Monk Academy of Zhenguo Temple, and the other one was originally Ma Xing, the leader of the Iron Harrier."
Hearing that he was the head of the Wu Monk Academy, Zhang Qian frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you laughing?"
The head of the Wu Monk Academy must be a master, and the leader of Tie Yaozi must not be weak. Why is Han Ziping laughing?
Han Ziping chuckled and said, "That Fuhui was originally ordered to guard Zhenguo Temple, but he was killed by the Lord and fled."
"That Ma Xing originally besieged Jade Buddha Pass, but he was also defeated by your Majesty."
"Two defeated generals serve as vanguards. What does Shi Le think?"
Han Ziping's words left Zhang Qian and the other five stunned and speechless.
The vanguard leads the entire army and must be the most powerful general.
Shi Le let two of his defeated generals serve as vanguards. What did Shi Le think?
Should I give away two heads first as a mark of respect?
Before they could figure it out, Fu Hui and Ma Xing arrived in front of Long Chen.
Seeing the two people approaching, Long Chen chuckled and said, "Last time you ran fast and I didn't kill you, but this time I will send you to my door?"
Fuhui and Ma Xing stopped ten meters away from Long Chen, both of them were actually afraid.
Fuhui looked at Long Chen and said: "Long Chengen, we know that we are not your opponents."
"However, we are the vanguard generals and you are the main general. If you take action yourself, you will be bullying the small ones."
"If you have the guts, let your vanguard general come out and fight with us."
Fu Hui was very arrogant and deliberately used words to provoke the general, preventing Long Chen from taking action himself.
After listening to this, Ma Xing secretly praised in his heart: This damn bald donkey said it well.
Long Chen smiled and said: "I don't mind using the big one to bully the small ones."
Fuhui was stunned for a moment, pointed at Long Chen and cursed: "Long Chengen, you are the King of Wu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can you be so shameless? You go out to fight with our generals in person, it is beneath your status, let your generals come out!"
Long Chen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh: "I don't care about my face, but you do. Are you so afraid of death?"
The conversation before the battle caused Long Jiajun to laugh loudly, saying that Fu Hui was a coward and was afraid of death.
Fuhui was laughed at, but he didn't mind at all.
It is better to be laughed at than to be killed.
"You are also a hero who shakes up the world, don't you feel shameless?"
Ma Xing pointed at Long Chen and shouted.
Long Chen smiled and said: "Do you two admire me very much? From the beginning to the end, you are saying that I am the King of Martial, a hero, and I want face."
"I am extremely merciful. As long as you two surrender, I will spare your life!"
