Chapter 27: Staying in Tushan at night and meeting two monks
Tang Jiusheng was pleasantly surprised by Yin Sheng's sudden arrival, because this was not part of his plan. He did not even expect that the sworn brother he met on Lingdong Road would value their friendship so much. Tang Jiusheng originally thought that the rest of this paragraph would be
On the road to Huzhou Prefecture, people on the green forest road kept attacking him. He was seriously injured and had to be skinned even if he didn't die.
This is also true. The temptation of the Shen Dao Sect's reward of a thousand gold is too great. Who would be afraid of the so-called Dragon Crying Sword Master who is seriously injured and has no power to deter him? As long as he kills this Crying Dragon Sword Master, he will become famous overnight.
Far and wide, there is gold and fame, fame and fortune, why not do it? Don’t those masters who make a living by killing people and selling goods lack such opportunities?
Even Han Lao San, Ma Lao Wu and others who were only at the fourth level of martial arts dared to take a trip into this troubled waters, let alone Lu Jinqi and others with higher martial arts skills. Wan Deyan certainly didn't want Tang Jiusheng to die so quickly.
This game was designed to torture Tang Jiusheng, causing him to suffer more internal injuries and exhaust his internal strength during repeated resistances, and finally die in pain.
Wan Deyan has been fighting with Tang Fulong for most of his life. If he can take this opportunity to kill this talented young man of the Tang family and let his old rival Tang Fulong give away the white-haired man to the black-haired man, the blow to the Tang family will be self-evident.
Yes, Wan Deyan, who was walking on the road to Lingnan, smiled and said to himself, "Tang Jiusheng, Tang Jiusheng, you really have a narrow escape this time!"
Yin Sheng took command, which greatly stabilized people's hearts. Of course, Tang Jiusheng had to seize the time to recuperate. At this moment, he was sitting in the lotus position in the car, practicing the Tianxuan Jue to repair his injuries. Wan Deyan added Huaqi Powder to the wine and pressed him
As expected, it was only a matter of time before Tang Jiu Sheng, who was seriously injured and could only fight with force, had his meridians cut off and his martial arts skills completely lost.
Only Wan Deyan did not expect that Tang Jiu Sheng had inner elixirs and decades of skills inherited from his uncle Liu Yisong. The Hua Qi Powder could only aggravate Tang Jiusheng's injuries, but it would not reach the point where his meridians were severed, because Tang Jiu Sheng was far away.
Not all Liu Yisong's skills have been digested, but at least two-thirds of those skills are still stored in the Dantian.
The Transformation Qi Powder dissipated part of the internal energy, and the internal energy that had not yet been digested was continuously replenished. However, this process of damaging and repairing the meridians made Tang Jiusheng suffer greater pain than ordinary people, and could even be said to be tortured.
, but as long as Tang Jiu Sheng can survive it, it will be a blessing in disguise.
Wan Deyan would not have expected that a rich boy named Yin Sheng would suddenly appear and take over Tang Jiusheng's burden, disrupting all his plans and giving Tang Jiusheng a chance to recuperate.
Tang Jiusheng meditated and adjusted his breath. The damaged meridians in his body were in severe pain, like fire, like oil boiling. The pain was so painful that his face spasmed, and the pain was so painful that his heart was broken. Big beads of sweat were rolling down, and the clothes on his body looked like they had just emerged from the water.
He had never suffered such a serious crime since he was born. Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang looked on with their hearts cut, wishing they could not share the Master's pain.
On this day, while the escort team was on the road, they encountered two attacks one after another. Yin Sheng shook his folding fan and watched the battle leisurely with a calm expression. The ferocious-looking servant Zhao Lingzun had amazing skills and a pair of iron palms with deep inner strength. With just one person, he
With all his strength, he repelled the attacks of two enemies, although there were many second- and third-level masters among the enemies on the opposite side.
When the two enemies attacked, Shui Ruyue and Ximen Yushuang got out of the car to watch the battle. Seeing the enemy's strength, they couldn't help but be secretly frightened. If Yin Sheng couldn't come, if these two powerful enemies attacked today, Tang Jiusheng would have to take action.
Only then could the enemy be defeated. However, when Tang Jiu Sheng was seriously injured and fought against the enemy, his internal injuries would inevitably worsen. Therefore, Yin Sheng's aid this time was tantamount to providing help in a timely manner.
After repelling two enemy attacks, the escort team did not stop and headed west toward Huzhou Prefecture. It soon became dusk. Wen Tianlong opened the map and found that the next town with an inn for accommodation was Hongyang Town.
We were ten miles away, so we discussed with Tang Jiusheng, Yin Sheng and others, and it seemed that we could only sleep in the wilderness tonight.
After walking for more than ten miles, there was a small dirt hill on the side of the road, so Wen Tianlong led the escort team to pitch the tent on the dirt hill. While arranging personnel to guard the temporary camp, he took out water and rice and began to bury the pot.
Make rice.
At this time, I saw two monks, an old one and a young one, walking down the official road. The young monk was leading a donkey, and sitting on the donkey was a girl who looked like a flower.
The monk is seventy or eighty years old, with a face as old as the moon, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, white beard and hair, and holding a bamboo Zen staff. The young monk leading the donkey is carrying a package on his back and an old sword on his waist.
Under the dim moonlight, the young monk saw tents on the bare earth mountain and the light of fireworks. He was surprised and said: "Master, someone is camping here, presumably cooking. Why don't we go and make a fortune?"
The old monk recited the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "How good! If you are careful, let's go and beg these donors!"
The bodyguards and men on guard duty outside saw two monks, an old man and a young boy, leading donkeys towards the bodyguard's camp. They were very nervous and asked sternly: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"
The young monk bowed his head and clasped his hands together and said, "How good that is. The young monk is a wandering monk. It's getting late and he's hungry. He came to seek help from some donors."
The rule of the escort team is not to meddle in other people's business, so as not to capsize in the gutter. So, the guard guard on guard shouted to the young monk: "We are the escort team. If you want to beg for alms, you should go to the villages and towns ahead!"
Yin Sheng heard the conversation from afar, and came over with Xi Mo and Zhao Lingzun holding a torch. Yin Sheng smiled slightly and said to the young monk: "Little master, ascetic monks do not eat after noon, how can you break the precept?"
?”
The young monk's face turned red, "How good! Donor, it's okay for the young monk not to eat, but we have a female lay monk here who wants to eat when she is hungry."
Yin Sheng used the light of the torch to see an extremely beautiful woman on the donkey's back. He was very surprised. How could a normal monk take a woman out for a walk? These two monks were probably not good people.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Lingzun was startled when he saw the old monk and asked quickly: "Is this the old Zen Master Puxuan?"
When the old monk saw Zhao Lingzun, he couldn't help laughing, "It's Lao Monk, donor Zhao. We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. How is the donor always?"
Fuli City is an isolated and important town with high walls and thick walls. It is located at the northernmost end of the Longting Road of the Great Shang Kingdom and borders the powerful enemy of the Great Xia Kingdom. At this time, Fuli City, which is more than five feet tall, is on the head of the Longting Road.
Guo Chong looked solemnly as he looked at the overwhelming mass of Daxia cavalry coming from the city. Behind Guo Chong were the pale-faced Fuli Prefect Li Yiming and the tall Polu Captain Sun Qingming with a sword on his shoulder and a resolute look on his face.
The Great Xia Kingdom in the north lived as nomads, living in the steppes and the depths of the Gobi for generations, chasing water and grass. They often harassed and invaded the border counties of the Great Shang Kingdom, plundering rice, grain, salt and iron, and sometimes also plundered some people as slaves.
Every time you hit and run, by the time you finally assemble the army and arrive, the Daxia cavalry has already calmly retreated to the depths of the grassland.
Last winter, the northern country of Daxia suffered from the worst snowstorm in decades. Countless cattle and sheep froze to death. Guo Chong expected that the Daxia people would go south to plunder in the spring. However, the momentum was so huge that it was far beyond the limit.
met his expectations.
It was heard that more than 30,000 Daxia cavalry were heading south. Prefect Li Yiming wanted to abandon the city and flee, but was stopped by Sun Qingming, the captain of the Polu Commandant who was leading the battle. Both Prefect Li Yiming and Captain Sun Qingming jointly submitted petitions with Situ Guo Chong.
After the emperor took over the eunuch power, he was demoted to Longting Road.
Emperor Yin Guang actually truly trusted these officials who dared to write letters to impeach eunuchs. Which of these people didn't have their heads stuck in their belts? Impeaching Yang Jingzhong, who had the power to impeach even the emperor, was almost tantamount to seeking death. If it weren't for the eunuchs,
The Shang State had an ancestral system that prohibited the killing of ministers without permission, so the heads of these officials were hanging. Even so, the emperor also said many good things to Yang Jingzhong on behalf of these officials.
The funniest thing is that the emperor and eunuchs were not good at killing ministers, but Yin Quan, the vassal king, killed several county magistrates and prefects. This is not a great irony.
Li Yiming was full of complaints about his demotion. He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to gain fame by admonishing him, but he didn't expect that he would be demoted to the position of governor of Fuli City, which even a bird would not want to take a shit in. But he didn't expect to be demoted at the same time.
Sun Qingming was very excited, thinking that Longting Road was a place where he could use his talents and it was a good time for a man to make contributions.
Previously, Fuli City, as an important border town, was often harassed by Daxia cavalry.
Guo Chong, the general envoy, was worried that Li Yiming would defend the city alone, so he sent Sun Qingming to assist Li Yiming. Fortunately, he sent Sun Qingming, otherwise Li Yiming would have abandoned the city and fled. At this time, Fuli City would have been plundered by the Daxia cavalry.
Later, it was set on fire and burned down.
After Guo Chong received the news from the scouts about the invasion of the Daxia cavalry, he quickly ordered the generals and captains stationed in Yangguan and Anping to lead troops to come to the rescue. He personally led 500 elite cavalry and rushed to Fuli City non-stop overnight to reassure the troops.
, two hours after Guo Chong and his 500 cavalry entered the city, the 30,000 Daxia cavalry who went south to plunder were able to help them escape the siege of the city.
Looking at the two officials behind him, one civil and one military, Guo Chong thoughtfully asked in a low voice: "Prefect Li, Captain Sun, do you have the confidence to defend Fuli City until the reinforcements from Song Wei and other generals arrive?
"
Li Yiming said softly: "Sir, Fuli is an isolated city, and there are only three thousand defenders in the city, and there is not enough food and grass. I previously thought that the Daxia cavalry was too powerful and the city could not be defended, so it should be abandoned. But Sun
The captain said that he is confident in guarding this city. Now that your Excellency is here in person, I would like to ask Your Excellency to make arrangements for everything."
Sun Qingming pressed his sword on his waist and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the general thinks that the Fuli city wall is tall and has enough food and grass to last more than a month. Moreover, the Daxia cavalry is not good at siege warfare. Our soldiers are well-trained and there are many reinforcements."
It only takes half a month to arrive, and there is absolutely no problem in defending this city. If we fail, the general will be willing to serve as a military commander! Hey, it's a pity that we have so few soldiers. If we can have 20,000 horses, we can go out of the city and kill the damn Daxia cavalry!"
Guo Chong smiled and patted Sun Qingming on the shoulder, "I am as confident as Captain Sun in guarding Fuli City. As long as we hold back the Daxia cavalry, when reinforcements come, these cavalry will probably disappear without a fight."
Retreat. With the consistent performance of these Daxia cavalry, if we cannot defeat Fuli City, we will have to return home."
Guo Chong stood at the head of Fuli City, which was five feet high. He held his hand on the crenellations of the city wall and looked at the large banner of the Great Xia army in the distance that was swaying in the wind. Under the large banner was the Shanyu Mo Di of the Great Xia Kingdom riding a horse. He was strong and powerful.
The tall Shanyu Mo Di held his saber in his hand and looked gloomily at the large banner with the Chinese character "Guo" raised high on the top of the city.
Guo Chong looked at the Daxia cavalry riding under the city and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Sooner or later, the Great Shang and the Great Xia will have a battle. In a short period of time, the Great Shang will not be able to fight back, but in the end, the Great Shang will be destroyed.
Daxia, Daxia cannot destroy the Great Shang. I just want to keep the Longting Road, but I still have a long way to go!"
Beside Mo Di Shanyu, the two people riding horses were Mo Di's younger brother Na Shi Yu and his mastermind Zhang Dongyuan. Mo Di looked at the banner with the word "Guo" at the top of the city and asked Zhang Dongyuan with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that
Guo Chong, an old thief, will come to Fuli City. It seems that Fuli City will be difficult to defeat this time. If Fuli cannot be defeated, what will we do? We can't return without success, right?"
Zhang Dongyuan smiled slightly and said, "Li Yiming, the prefect of Fuli, is a coward. If he heard that the Great Chanyu personally led the army to the south, he would definitely abandon the city and flee. Unexpectedly, a Guo Chong came out halfway. This Guo Chong would definitely not abandon the city.
.Fuli city wall is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack. According to the slaves, we pretended to attack the city during the day and suddenly changed our route to attack Songbei County at night. This is called attacking from the east and attacking from the west in the art of war. If they are not prepared, we will definitely gain something.
."
Mo Di nodded and laughed and said: "You are the educated guy who has more evil ideas. Okay, it's up to you. We will send some troops to attack the city during the day, and then divert to attack Songbei County at night. Those fools from the big merchants will definitely not
You will think that if we dare to attack Songbei County, we can catch those bastards off guard."
…
Records of the Great Shang History: On the ninth day of the third month in the spring of the fourth year of Jingyuan, 30,000 Daxia cavalry, led by Mo Di Shanyu, failed to attack Fuli City, and then raided Songbei County in the middle of Longting Road. The city was defeated, and the prefect Lu Songling
