The battle that took place by the Fen River in mid-October was undoubtedly a rout, and it was a rout between cavalry. It was also a meeting on the road, with a smaller number of cavalry winning a rout.
In this kind of battle, if you want to expand the results, you can only pursue quickly after the war, or take advantage of the situation to cause casualties, or take advantage of the situation to seize some strategic locations.
Otherwise, this battle can only be said to have thwarted the Jin army's plan to sneak attack into the river.
Of course, this is already great, but with Han Shizhong's temperament, he would never let it go... Therefore, as soon as he succeeded in his charge, he just turned around and told Jieyuan, and immediately mobilized the Wei army to fight against Fenshui.
The pursuit to the east continued.
But it is really difficult to cause the Jin army to collapse.
Both sides were cavalry, and they both marched hastily to the battlefield, and then they were able to take advantage of the fighting to rest their horses. At this time, you were chasing each other, and it was impossible to catch up. Moreover, the Jin army had too many cavalry, and those who had dismounted to fight before
There are a lot of them, whether active or passive, which buys preparation time for the retreat of the Jin army in the rear.
In a sense, Sa Lihe is actually decisive.
But that night, when Han Shizhong ordered to stop the pursuit because of the weather, he had indeed entered Ji County, where his brother Jieyuan's hometown was. He could say that he had fulfilled his promise.
However, probably because of the need to clear the road and collect stragglers, Jie Yuan arrived at the village where Han Shizhong was stationed nearly an hour later than Han Shizhong.
Upon entering Dezhuang, he saw that the village was empty except for a few elderly people. This made Xie Shanshan, who was used to seeing similar things, feel a little restless.
When the two brothers met, Han Shizhong, who was wiping his spear by the campfire, spoke first: "Kindness, is this your home?"
"No." Jie Yuan shook his head in reply. "The road to my house has already passed by. It is a mountainous area. I got off my horse and took a look. It has been abandoned for a long time."
Han Shizhong nodded and asked again: "How?"
"Not good." Of course, Jieyuan, who has been a brother for decades, knew what the other party meant, so he shook his head again. "The Fen River has become shallow now... and the sun is not too cold at noon. Many Jin cavalry scattered,
Those with horses just hugged the horses' necks, while those without horses just untied the armor and passed through the water, which is slightly better than the one to the south of Tieling Pass... I guess it was barely over a thousand."
"Not bad." Han Shizhong didn't care at all. "After crossing the river for ten days, we fought three battles in a row, and gained three or four thousand... This is the biggest victory in my life, what else do I expect?!"
Jie Yuan nodded in response: "The key is Hedong City. The Jin army cannot save Hezhong after this battle... Then Wen Dun Sizhong and his ten thousand households will be unable to fly."
"That's one and a half ten thousand households." Han Shizhong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, put a noose on his spear and faced it proudly. "The people of the world should know why I, Han Shizhong, am unparalleled in the world?"
"Fifth brother." Jie Yuan did not sit down, but continued to persuade him sternly across the bonfire. "This battle is a national war. We have more than 300,000 people. The Jin Kingdom also has 200,000 households. Plus the new Yanjing army, how many
Thousands of gains and ten thousand households are just a way to dampen the spirit of the battle. You must not be arrogant and lose your composure. What's more, Ba Lisu is still in the front and has no intention of retreating. Even Hezhong Mansion has not yet reached a conclusion."
"I know." Han Shizhong responded with a smile. "However, this time he has been frustrated and there is no point in keeping him. It's time to take advantage of the situation and drive him away!"
"I have sent people to look for Xu Shi'an, Chen Jue and the others." Jie Yuan responded immediately. "We should be able to arrive tomorrow. We will gather our troops by then, cross the Fen River in large numbers, capture the county seat of Ji County in the north of Hebei, and then advance to Jiang.
Zhouzhou City, as if it wants to cut off the Jin army's retreat north along the Fen River, Ba Lisu will either divide his troops to cross the river to resist us, or get out of here."
"Too slow!" Han Shizhong shook his head in response.
"Fifth brother has another idea?" Jie Yuan thought about it and understood what the other party meant.
"What do you think of that mountain?" Han Shizhong pursed his lips to the south.
Jie Yuan looked back in surprise, and saw a row of mountains with clear outlines in the twilight with the remaining light and moonlight, squatting there in the dark hole. One of them was relatively close, and it was obviously taller and wider than the other mountains. It should be where Han Shizhong indicated...
…But Jieyuan is still puzzled.
"If you want to drive away Balisu, it's best to strike while the iron is hot." Han Shizhong explained calmly upon seeing this. "While he can't figure out how many casualties there were in the day and how many troops we have, let's take a break tonight.
, immediately rushed over again, followed Sa Lihe's defeated army and knocked on his camp, forcing him to withdraw his troops and return to Linfen... But we have few soldiers, if we go forward in a hurry, the logistics will be insufficient. Once setback, it will be dawn again
, but something big will happen..."
Xie Yuan kept nodding. Not to mention that since ancient times, the two of them had personally experienced countless joys and sorrows.
"However, fortunately, there is only a small river between the enemy camp and Tieling Pass. If Li Yanxian can know our thoughts in advance and join forces with us to send troops, even if it fails, we can advance and retreat calmly." Han Shizhong continued, but it was
He expressed his thoughts. "So, I want to imitate Ma Kuo's behavior that day and light a fire to the mountain as a threat and as a means of communication."
Jie Yuan was startled for a moment and shook his head instinctively: "General Manager Ma did not burn the mountain that day."
"That's what I mean." Han Shizhong sneered. "We have rushed sixty miles all afternoon. It's time to take a rest. Do we have to make temporary torches to prevent us from going up the mountain?"
Jie Yuan nodded, turned and left without saying a word.
"Where are you going?" Han Shizhong looked at him in surprise.
"Go and burn the mountain." Jie Yuan kept saying it.
"Why don't you take a break?" Han Shizhong became more and more puzzled. "Besides, when it comes to burning mountains, why do you need a deputy to handle it? One head is enough!"
"Fifth brother." Jie Yuan finally stopped dozens of steps away and turned to face each other. "Your idea is excellent. It is the most appropriate strategy at the moment. It is impossible not to do it... But look at the villages along the way.
Everything is empty, where have all the people gone?”
Han Shizhong was slightly startled.
"I have no intention of hindering the military." Jie Yuan continued. "But I am the deputy capital commander and a local. As long as I tell the sergeants below about this and then go to the mountain in person, they will naturally try to drive away the people in the mountain first.
, and then burn it... Otherwise, with their current fatigue, they might just set it on fire, but what will happen then?"
Han Shizhong didn't say anything, he just nodded and went about his business.
Jieyuan didn't say anything more, turned around and left.
Just like that, in the middle of the night, on the hills where the early winter leaves were piled up, the fire gradually started, and then got out of control. The fire was so dazzling that the two sides of the Fen River were reflected like day.
Just as the Song army, which had hurriedly pursued here with Han Shizhong, was staring at the huge torch on the plain, at the same moment, they had already come into contact with some of the defeated troops. At this time, they were on the south bank of Fenshui River, sandwiching the tributary of Fenshui River.
Ba Lisu and the main force of the Jin Army; Li Yanxian and the main force of the Song Army, who were confronting Ba Lisu and sandwiched between the Guanli camp in Tieling; including the left army of the imperial camp who had been informed at this time that they were at several gaps south of Han Shizhong.
Xu Shian, Chen Jue and other generals were also stunned at the same time and noticed the movement here.
Among them, Xu Shian and Chen Jue acted the fastest. These two men had already received the order from Xie Yuan. At this time, they had no hesitation and immediately sent troops to the north to support overnight.
At the same time, Li Yanxian at Tieling Pass realized Han Shizhong's intention for the first time - he was the one who saw the possible flaw in the gap in the west, and it was he who prompted Han Shizhong to send troops to rescue. And at the expected time, at
There was such a movement on the east side of the designated battlefield, and you could imagine what was going on with your feet.
It is inevitable that Han Shizhong successfully blocked the Jin army, defeated the opponent head-on, and then pursued it here.
As for setting fire to the mountains, there are precedents before Ma Kuan. What it means is of course self-explanatory.
This is the tacit understanding after a few days of mutual insults behind closed doors.
Sure enough, Li Yanxian did not hesitate. On the one hand, he urgently sent people to Jiangxian County to inform Ma Kuo, asking them to guard their flanks to prevent the Jin people from jumping over the wall. On the other hand, he immediately mobilized overnight to send troops to the Seventh Army of Guannan Headquarters and the Huyan Army left behind by Han Shizhong.
After the troops left the pass and headed north, they once again attacked Ba Lisu, who was standing near the Huishui River.
Of course, while issuing these orders, Li Jiedu did not forget one thing, which was to pull Han Shizhong's eye-catching banner from Tieling Pass first!
Even if it was only for half a day, he felt comfortable.
In the same way, Bali Su, who was the target of public criticism, had already guessed what Han Shizhong was going to do when he saw the fire, because he had been in contact with Sa Lihe's retreating troops and scattered troops since the middle of the night.
, even Sa Lihe himself rushed back all afternoon and the night before. He already knew that Dongfang was defeated.
If it were him, he would definitely take advantage of the situation to attack!
But when the Tieling Pass moved next, the movement could not be covered, and the Jin Army Commander had a clearer understanding of the situation.
However, there is a problem here, and that is that most of the people who have a clear view of the fire have no idea how many troops Salihe lost on the south bank of Fenshui this morning, nor do they know what Han Shizhong used to defeat Salihe
How many troops does Wanqi have?
I asked Sa Lihe, but Sa Lihe didn’t know either!
Is it just the Wei Army and the Depian Army, or are there tens of thousands of imperial cavalry behind them?
This is very possible. If you close your eyes, you will know that in the past half month, the Song Army must have been transporting troops, grain, and luggage to the Hezhong Basin (Yuncheng Basin). It is impossible to say that the tens of thousands of imperial cavalry have already
They arrived at Hezhong Mansion, but the Jin army, which was blocked by the tunnel and had no information on the other side, didn't know it at all, so they were defeated.
Even if you consider that the Song Army has stuffed all the newly sent troops and horses behind Tieling Pass, or that the Song Army has not transported many troops at all, you have to consider that Hedong City has fallen, and the Black Dragon Wang Sheng led the imperial camp to the left.
Is the main force appearing on the battlefield?
In a word, it was caught off guard and the situation was chaotic at night, making it impossible for Ba Lisu to carry out accurate investigation and intelligence gathering.
In this case, he could only have a clear understanding of the Song army's tactical movements and at the same time anticipate the enemy's mistakes!
And predicting the enemy is wide, that is to say, assuming that there are enough main forces of the Song Army behind Han Shizhong, the worst result is that if he does not take action, there is a possibility that the Song Army will make dumplings here.
It is possible that the whole army will be annihilated here, and then the entire Hedong will be surrendered...or, more seriously, they will directly surrender for the Kingdom of Jin.
Because here at the Tielingguan battlefield, the Jin army had five or six thousand households, which was nearly a quarter of the main field force of the Jin army.
Of course, the actual situation cannot be so bad. The greater possibility is that Wanyan Tuhesu's ten thousand households placed on the south bank of Huishui River, as well as a considerable number of Wanyan Salihe and Yelu Mawu's elite who have not yet had time to escape,
The cavalry was caught by the Song army on the south bank of Huishui River and suffered heavy losses.
"Let Tuhe quickly withdraw to Huishui and join forces with me."
After sitting with a stick of incense for a while, in the brightly lit Jin Army camp, Ba Lisu finally made a decision.
"Send a message to Quwo again, telling him not to rest any longer, and to immediately march westward overnight, cross the Fen River, and stationed in Jiangzhou City. He must sandwich both sides of the Fen River and leave no room for the Song army to outflank..."
"Send troops again, light torches, and build temporary pontoons along the Huishui River to meet the defeated army..."
"By the way, tell Tu Hesu again that no matter how difficult it is, try to send people through the Song Army's tunnel position at night to notify Jianlu Bu at Xileng Pass and ask him to evacuate... As soon as Tu Hesu leaves, he will
The most dangerous."
This means that in order to preserve as much vitality as possible, the Hezhong Basin (Yuncheng Basin) was completely abandoned and the Linfen Basin was retracted.
Of course the generals below also agreed, but no one objected. They just made a loud noise and then left each other.
"Sa Li drink!"
At this moment, Balisu suddenly stopped one of them. "Where are you going?"
The other generals turned back one after another.
Having just returned to the military camp, Sa Lihe, who was in a mess, was startled for a moment. He quickly became cautious and handed over his hands solemnly: "Commander, I will supervise the construction of the pontoon bridge and support the headquarters..."
"Go to Ma Wu!" Sa Lihe turned to look at a silent general, who turned out to be Yelu Ma Wu, a Khitan citizen. "That's your headquarters too."
Yelv Mawu, who had been standing there silently, slightly cupped his hands, then immediately turned around and left the camp. After looking at Sa Lihe, who was obviously in a panic, no one dared to openly wait to see a person.
Wanhu's jokes all followed Ma Wu out of the camp to get busy.
Sa Lihe, on the other hand, was at a loss for a moment and stood there, not daring to move, especially when the others left and suddenly only Ba Lisu and his bodyguards were left in the tent.
"Salihe." Ba Lisu took a deep breath. "You were defeated at the hands of Han Shizhong, and everyone said that he destroyed the partial army and backed the Wei army in front of them. Even if you think about it, you can't lie... Then you lost
I don’t blame you, but I would like to say that if it weren’t for my oversight and thought that Han Shizhong was still locked up, you wouldn’t have suffered such a defeat..."
Sa Lihe felt relieved for a moment, but knew that he could not offend the other party at this time, so he quickly blamed himself: "After all, it was me who lost. Han Shizhong is so cunning, how can it be Dutong's fault?"
"The battlefield is intersecting, and there is nothing to say if someone has a better chess, let alone the number one general of the Southerners?" Ba Lisu nodded, but continued to look at each other solemnly. "It's just Sa Lihe, why did your army of thousands of cavalry collapse?
, you actually arrived here first? So that we didn’t know the details of the Song army’s strength, forcing us to retreat and abandon Hezhong Mansion?”
Sa Lihe pursed his lips and explained seriously: "So that the capital will know that the former army was defeated at that time, and Han Shizhong's two elite troops were present, as well as at least one other troops. It would be useless to force another battle.
Instead of continuing to face the enemy, it is better for the strong men to cut off their arms and try to save the entire army... Therefore, the last general directly ordered the army to retreat."
Ba Lisu nodded and asked again: "But what happened to the Grand Master's slave? Why did several officers say that the Khitan's plan to defeat the Grand Master's slave noticed something was wrong and repeatedly told him, but you just didn't believe it, so that it was delayed
Got a fighter plane?"
Sa Lihe finally fell silent, and after a long while he had no choice but to say: "Du Tong, at that time I really couldn't believe that Han Shizhong was on the other side."
"It's human nature." Ba Lisu nodded again. "But it is already known to everyone that the Grand Master's slave has asked you for advice several times. Why didn't you deal with it after you came back? Or kill him to avoid future troubles.
Or promote him to show his correction? Instead, ignore it, so that this person will shake the morale of the army for nothing?"
Sa Lihe was finally stunned, but he suddenly realized what he was doing. He hurriedly handed over his hands and left, going to look for the Grand Master's slave.
But as soon as the people left, Ba Lisu sighed in the tent for a while, and then turned his eyes towards the back tent after a while.
In the back tent, there was a person who had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Ba Lishu looking over, he immediately turned out... it was none other than the slave of the Khitan Muke Taishi.
"Dutong."
The master's slave was obviously cautious.
"Ever since Yaoshan was beaten to tears by Wu Jie in the first battle, Sa Lihe has become more and more bastard." Ba Lisu sighed and sighed like this in the audience. "But Taishinu, you were also in the Liao Kingdom back then.
Those who hang around outside should know my helplessness... After all, his surname is Wanyan, and he and Wanyan Benjian both grew up in Taizu's tent. Three... two princes are in power, how can I deal with it? "
"The last general knows the difficulties of unifying the capital." Taishinu responded with his hand.
"So, if you want to prevent what happened today from happening again and avenge Yelu Yizhen, you have only one way." Balisu cheered up and faced him seriously. "That is to get past people like Sa Lihe, and also get past people like Sa Lihe.
I will serve you before the person who can really make the decision...I will give you a marching silver medal. You will go north immediately to meet King Wushu of Wei at Jingxing. Don't hide anything about the situation of this battle, just tell him everything! Then!
Tell King Wei again that Sa Lihe wants to kill you, and you are loyal to Dajin and don't want to betray him, so you directly risked your life and begged me. I saw your sincerity, so I gave you this silver medal to find him.
I hope I can stay with him as a staff officer, and I also ask him to take advantage of the situation and seriously consider my overall strategy! Our cavalry must be concentrated and fight in the plains in order to be effective!"
"The general knows that he will definitely persuade the fourth prince to follow the general's strategy to fight the Song army." The grand master's slave took the silver medal from the guard's hand and immediately leaned over and kowtowed to show his allegiance.
"Go!" Pulling Su Nuzui signaled.
After a while, as the Grand Master's slave turned away, the tent finally gradually became quiet, but Bali Su was silent for a long time.
At dawn.
The melee ended... Han Shizhong had already achieved his set goal before he even reached the south of Tieling Pass.
The only two ten thousand households that the Jin army explored were one in the south and one in the north, one at Zhiguanxing and one at Zhilubu, and one on the south bank of Huishui facing the Jiangxian Passage, and they retreated at the same time overnight.
Soon, as the Song army moved northward and the Jin army urgently increased the strength of Jiangzhou City on the other side of the Fen River, there was no doubt that the confrontation was pushed out to the Hezhong Basin (Yuncheng Basin).
The so-called thin line separates areas. If we give up this line, the fall of Hedong City is basically a matter of time.
At noon, Han Shizhong returned to Tieling Pass. After immediately re-erecting his big banner, he summarized the military situation, which was also a matter of pride... On one hand, he personally wrote a military report to Zhao Guan's family, reporting on various military situations, and on the other hand, he expressed his merits and complained;
However, he did not delay the announcement of the victory. At the same time, he passed documents to Wu Jie and sternly questioned Guo Zhen about the relevant matters.
Let’s not talk about how passive Wu Jie was and how Li Yanxian suffered again. Let’s just say that when the document and the good news were passed to the south, the land of Henan was not so easy.
The reason is very simple. After three years of peace, there was a sudden increase in labor force and the mobilization of the Northern Expedition. Problems would have arisen one after another. Moreover, with the fermentation and spread of this half month, the comprehensive mobilization of the Central Plains and Kansai regions was finally fully launched, but it triggered an unprecedented
mess.
This is of course expected, because the hasty mobilization of the Yellow River frontline caused so many problems before, let alone the current situation of nationwide mobilization?
To give a simple example, let’s talk about Monk Mahamati from the southeast.
This guy collected grain from Jingshan Temple in the autumn of this year, and as promised, he personally brought several monks from the temple to deliver it. As a result, when he got to Kaifeng Mansion, there happened to be a war in the north, and he delivered the grain outside Tokyo as agreed.
However, unexpectedly, the officials from the Ministry of Industry who were there did not accept the food at all. They only talked about the words in the document and forced the monk to send the food to the imperial cavalry stationed outside Tokyo.
That is Luoyang.
Moreover, the deadline is one month, and anyone who disobeys the order will be executed.
To put it bluntly, everyone can wake up to the fact that they encountered lazy and bad governance, that they were forcibly oppressed by evil officials, assigned the work of transporting military rations, and passively arrested the strong men.
However, the great monk is really generous. Although he woke up immediately, he saw that many monks and merchants from the southeast were being oppressed in this way. After all, he did not say who he recognized, Zhang Jiucheng, the right minister of the Ministry of Works.
I didn’t say that I was an old acquaintance with Zhang Shuxiang and his wife.
This is not to say that we should get used to these evil officials, nor is it to say that the great monk is thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask for help, but that the great monk knows very well that this kind of thing is inevitable, and the face of Zhang Jiucheng and Zhang Jun can save him
I escaped from misery with a few Jingshan Temple monks, but I couldn't stop this large-scale disguised labor assignment.
Rather than let the common people suffer this crime, it is better for monks like Jingshan Temple, who have no worries about food and clothing, to do it... Didn't the abbot say that? The temple at least has sesame oil for enema and gold rice grains for three buckets and three liters of menstruation.
So, without saying a word, he took a few monks to escort the temple's food supplies to Luoyang.
But this journey was ten times more difficult than taking a boat along the canal.
Because at this time, the entire Central Plains was mobilized. The supplies here in Luoyang were piled up like mountains. However, it was difficult to transport the rivers on the front line, so the roads were full of soldiers and civilians. Not to mention the road congestion, the key was that food was hard to find, prices soared, and shops
You can't find vegetarian food at all in China, and even if it is available, the price is astonishing... And if it's just more hard work, just eat the new rice you bring home, because you're afraid that there will be less food when you go somewhere, and you won't be able to pay the difference.
Even if he was killed by some rude military academy, it would be impossible for Zhang Shuxiang, his mother and Zhang Jiucheng to fly over to save him, right?
Fortunately, Monk Dahui is a wise man. When he saw the dangers of the obstruction of Sishuiguan, he immediately called some people who came from the southeast to form a team and turned around to the south together, from the Shaolin Temple to Luoyang.
...In this case, although the journey is much longer, you can still buy cooking cakes and sauce buns, and take them with you to make dry food.
However, even so, Monk Dahui also encountered many things that were worth recording or not worth mentioning, but were not worth mentioning.
The arrogance of the evil officials at the grassroots level who bully others, the fear of the common people about the future of war, and the treachery of merchants and monks. When it comes to "Three Officials", "Three Farewells" is not on par, but the atmosphere is really bad.
And this low civil atmosphere caused by the hasty start of the war, coupled with the confusing information just after the war, and the empty official announcement that the newspapers did not know what to write, further fueled some folk rumors... Today
It was said that Yue Fei was defeated, tomorrow it was said that Han Shizhong was victorious but was injured, the day after tomorrow it was said that a certain minister took the opportunity to embezzle a lot of grain, a certain commander robbed a beautiful official lady in Hedong, and the day after tomorrow said,
The temperature suddenly dropped in the east of the river, and winter clothes could not be sent across the river. Many people froze to death on the other side of the river.
In this regard, Monk Dahui can certainly see that many of them are nonsense, but everyone has worked so hard and has grievances, and the situation on the other side of the river is really dark. Even if he wants to explain and comfort, it is not true.
He knew how to comfort...and this personal powerlessness made the great monk himself gradually feel depressed.
However, no matter what, after more than twenty days of torture, on October 17, Monk Dahui and his Jingshan Temple branch transport team finally arrived at Mangshan, and met the troops of the Imperial Cavalry here.
, entered the civilian camp where the imperial cavalry belonged, successfully handed over the general's rations, and settled the matter.
And on this day, the great monk, who was preparing to return to the southeast, saw Han Shizhong's messenger announcing his victory in the Mang Mountain Camp flying in, and the relevant documents that were subsequently posted.
"Mage, what does this mean?"
Many civilians who had been drafted gathered under the wooden banner next to the camp gate. Although some Jinshi who accompanied the army took advantage of the situation to publicize it when they posted it there, the civilians only knew that King Han had won another battle and what exactly happened.
Those who still didn’t understand and didn’t dare to ask those Jinshi masters would naturally wait for the military officials to leave and let Monk Dahui explain it.
In the early winter, Monk Dahui wore a shabby hat and a few strong monks with their sleeves rolled up and stood under the banner beside the door. He read it about twice, but he was completely elated... Others didn't know that a person of his level of education could
But how could he not know that Han Shizhong's victory was nothing more than that. The key was to directly force the Jin army to retreat to both sides of the Fen River. The Jin army at Zhiguanxing also retreated directly. The Song army took advantage of the situation to press... It was clearly Hezhong Mansion.
It has become the treasure of the Song Dynasty.
In other words, this should be one of the strategic victories that the newspaper has always said.
After all, the Zhao Guan family's hasty Northern Expedition has paid off enough.
However, looking back, Monk Dahui wanted to explain to these people, but he was at a loss for words because he really didn't know how to explain geography and strategy to these people.
You said that Han Shizhong won the battle and made many gains. They may understand, but how can they understand that taking advantage of the situation to burn the mountains and force the Jin army to retreat is the most critical result?
So, after thinking for a long time, the monk finally gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and used his best jingle to 'explain' to the people at the bottom of the list:
"When the god's arm bow is fired, through the heavy armor, the monk's door looks very smelly leather socks!"
The people around them still didn't understand what it meant, but they knew what a divine arm bow was, what heavy armor was, and what stinky leather socks were, and they couldn't help laughing.
Everyone said it, but the great monk said it most clearly. It was King Han who used the divine arm bow to defeat the Jin people.
And just when all the people were laughing happily, suddenly, drums were beating in the camp, horns were blaring under the dragon banner outside the Chinese army camp in the distance, and a hot air balloon was rising over the ferry.
.
This also shocked the people here in Fu Ying and was at a loss.
But soon, a civilian leader who hurried over from the Chinese army camp shouted from a distance:
"The river has been crossed! The officials are going to cross the river east! The princes and lieutenants have spoken and the officials are going to cross the river!"
Before he stopped talking, he saw in the distance over the Chinese army camp, countless officials and soldiers poured out from under the dragon's banner and dispersed. Then within a moment, like thunder, people were shouting from all directions - Zhao Guan's family is about to cross the river!
It seems that this official family is really going to cross the river.
"You guys go back!"
In the midst of the chaos, Monk Dahui stared blankly at the chaos, then swayed a few times, clasped his hands together, and turned to face several strong monks from Jingshan Temple. "I'm not going back."
The monks in Jingshan Temple were puzzled for a moment, and they were all instinctively frightened... They lost the only purple-robed mage in the temple during this trip. Wouldn't they be sent to pound rice when they return?
"You don't need to think too much. I know that this is my chance." Monk Mahamati was swaying as if he was drunk, but his hands were clasped together. "No matter what the outcome, the Buddha is asking me to cross the river.
, to be a witness to the whole world... This is my opportunity! I can’t hide it! Nor should I hide it!”
Several monks looked at each other and could only salute Master Dahui with their hands together, and then went back to pack their things and prepare to return to Jingshan Temple.
However, probably because these monks were so acquainted with each other, they bumped into Xiahou Ningyuan, an officer of the Royal Camp Cavalry who was also rushing back to pack his things and prepare to set off on the road, and was captured by the latter with a casual finger.
It can be seen that once the opportunity comes, this Buddha cannot be stopped.
PS: Thanks to the new alliance leader Meng Chacha, this is the 183rd cute chapter in this book.
By the way, everyone continues to have a happy Lantern Festival.
