Two hundred and ninetieth chapters, Jagged Songs (16)
Facing the sand table, the eastern part of Jiangnan Province was filled with dense flags representing the Western Allied Forces. Among these blue flags, the bright red that was trapped in Zhenhai alone, seemed to be in stern and slaying in Lei Dongfeng's eyes.
"This plan is very good. Jinshan Mansion is in the middle of Zhenhai Mansion and Jinling Mansion. There are also roads from Jinling to Jinshan, which are suitable for our cavalry to rush and fight. Moreover, if we can conquer Jinshan, we can even stop the throat of the Yangtze River and prevent the coalition from increasing troops from Zhenhai from now on."
"Brother Lei, if you take the Jinshan Mansion, you will inevitably shift most of the attention of the Western coalition to us. Moreover, although Jinshan Mansion can be defended, it is not as thick as the city of Jinling Mansion. The generals and soldiers who stay in Jinshan Mansion will inevitably suffer some damage! But, can't you really see it?" Li Ruoxi glanced at Lei Dongfeng and said to himself.
"Brother, I'll ask for a fight!" Jiang Zhuying suddenly shouted, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. Li Ruoxi glanced at her and instantly understood that his sister Jiang had seen Mingtang.
"Haha, Zhuying, you don't need to take action in this battle. You have been fighting on the front line these days, and I'm almost sick. This time I'll leave it to me. Als, Jinling Mansion will be handed over to you. I personally take five thousand elite cavalry to attack Jinshan Mansion. Well, then let Chen Chong lead five thousand infantry troops to help me defend the city." Lei Dongfeng couldn't see what the most dangerous task in Li Ruoxi's plan was, and how could he let his beloved take risks, so he pretended to be relaxed.
"Brother Lei still sees it..." Li Ruoxi sighed inwardly, but didn't know how to persuade him, because she knew that even if she dissuaded, Lei Dongfeng would not listen.
Isn’t this Han man who once climbed to the top of the Shenlong Peak to pick a life-saving snow lotus for her, which won his heart because of his open and upright heroism...
"Do I really can't live without him?" Li Ruoxi asked herself in her heart, but she couldn't find the answer. She only knew that she would do her best to plan everything for the man in front of her. If he really had an accident, Li Ruoxi would never live alone in the world.
"Lei, how can I not lose this battle? And if you really want to conquer Kingsoft as soon as possible, you also need the help of our Lei Cavalry." Ars smiled and said.
"This..." Lei Dongfeng hesitated.
"Brother..." Jiang Zhuying wanted to speak again.
"Zhuying, Jinling Mansion is also related to the overall situation. Even if Aers and I lose to Jinshan Mansion, there is a way out. If Aers and I go with me, I will be relieved to you... From now on, you will mobilize the reserve military and civilians of the imperial palace. As long as you can still go to the battlefield, all of them will be armed. I believe that those waiting for you will have a fierce battle. So Zhuying, you must guard Jinling for me so that I can have no worries." Lei Dongfeng said sincerely.
"But the supreme general around my elder brother..." Jiang Zhuying frowned.
"What are the words of Jiang Legion? We'll wait!" Guan Nubai stood up and said.
Since moving eastward, Guan Nubai and Lu Zhenzhi have almost nothing to do and have been holding it at the bottom of the ship.
However, the relationship between the two people has been eased because they rescued each other under Zhennan Pass, so they talked about home learning and martial arts all the way, and gradually accepted each other and even formed friendships.
This time, Lu Zhenzhi led the three thousand Shura cavalry of the Shura Army to help Lei Dongfeng, and was ordered by the Marquis of the Thousand Army, Lu Shengzhi, but he had to do his best to help these friends, especially Jiang Zhuying.
At this moment, seeing Guan Nubai stand up, Lu Zhenzhi immediately stood up and said, "Sister Jiang, although Nubai and I are not as good as you, we can go into battle as generals and will never be afraid of death!"
"Qingce, Bingyu, that's not what I mean..." Jiang Zhuying's face turned red, knowing that what he said was a bit inappropriate.
"Haha, the Guan Brigade Group will follow us to Jinshan Mansion. The Lu Brigade Group will follow Miss Jiang to defend the city. How about it?" said Als.
"It's so good, let's stay, and someone in the city needs to be able to command these surrendered coalition soldiers." Lei Dongfeng said.
"Okay, let's arrange it like this. Gareth stays, so I will only take Stala with me." Als said.
"Old Master Mingyue Knight, I am definitely not a person who is afraid of death, and I will not turn against you in the face of the battle!" Gareth stood up and said a little unhappy.
"His Excellency Star Knight, you are the hope of my future 6." Als looked solemn.
"This sword is named Yuehua. It was given to me by the teacher. Today I will give it to you." Als suddenly took off the long sword he had been with him.
"Ars..." Gareth's tiger eyes were shining. At this moment, can he still understand that Ars was not afraid of life and death and entrusting the future hope of Xi6 to himself?
"Ars, I'll give this knife to you!" Lei Dongfeng looked at all in front of him and suddenly felt a burst of passion in his heart, and handed the sword of Hundred Battles from Dragon City to Als.
This knife was once taken away by Ars and was snatched back by Lei Dongfeng in the battle of Anyang Mansion. Today, Lei Dongfeng gave him to Ars again, but there was a turmoil in Ars's heart.
A man's heart is all about this entrusted sword and iron horse, and he will never leave him!
~~~~~~~~
On November 7, 999, the imperial era, Jinshan Prefecture, Jiangnan Province, the empire.
Jinshan Mansion is named after a thousand-year-old ancient temple, Jinshan Temple. It is said that this temple came from the east of Buddhism in the previous dynasty. After the Buddhist master entered Luoyang, he passed it over and over here. He saw an unknown hill standing proudly on the top of the river beach. Although it was not as majestic as the high mountains in the north, it also had a lot of atmospheres and golden Buddha light appeared. So he established this temple in this unknown hill. Jinshan Temple was so popular that it was famous thousands of years ago. Otherwise, the Jinshan and Jinshan Mansion would never have been named after the temple.
Later, Taizu established the country, suppressed the two sects of Buddhism and Confucianism, and emphasized the two sects of Taoism and Law. The Jinshan Temple gradually declined, and even the treasure land of the ancient temple was seized by Huaizhen Tao, one of the four great Taoist temples of the empire, and changed its name to Huaizhen Temple.
But the name of Jinshan Palace cannot be changed.
However, the ancient temple has been around for thousands of years, after all, the pine waves, the river waves, the evening drums and morning bells, and the ancient charm is hidden in it.
Even the Western coalition forces that occupied the Jiangnan provinces did not send troops to harass the thousand-year-old ancient temple. However, this was due to the fact that most Taoists of Huaizhen Taoist surrendered to the coalition forces and helped them maintain local public security.
Therefore, when the people of Jinshan Prefecture mentioned the Taoist priests in Huaizhen Taoism, they changed from admiration to curse, and even said that the Taoist sect in the Empire did evil, but the Taoist sect in the Empire did many good deeds, and the Supreme Taoist was determined to fight against the Western Invaders. Daoxu Huanzong died in the southwest, but because of this Taoist sect in Huaizhen Taoism, he became famous in Jiangnan.
However, there are still so few believers who are confused by the truth and are even willing to help the coalition forces do their work.
In this way, the only benefit is that it prompts the Western coalition to create less blood debts and even implements a policy of using the Han to control the Han Dynasty. These are also used by those who surrender as examples of the prosperity of the world.
But since more than half a year ago, after Tao Mu Fancen left the Taoist Temple in the north of Taoist Temple, the Huaizhen Taoist Temple has become a little turbulent.
After Mu Fancen left, the flying pigeon in the middle sent a letter, and no news came again. Even the other people from the Taoist temple were responsible for contacting the area to assist the Western coalition in ruling the land.
There are even rumors among the people that Mu Fancen has been removed from Yunyun because he has done too much evil.
In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Huaizhen Taoist Temple has been preserved by being able to stand by the enemy.
However, the ancient temple of the ancient temple in Jinshan where Huaizhen Taoist Temple is located is not in Jinshan Mansion City, but on the Jinshan Mountain that is close to the Yangtze River for more than 20 miles outside the west city of the city. The Jinshan Mountain is only more than 300 meters high and only more than ten miles in a radius, but it is lush and green, with birds and beasts everywhere. The river water at the foot of the mountain is vast and swampy, passing close to the south of the mountain. The house is on the top of the cliff, silent for thousands of years.
At the afternoon of that day, a few Han people in ordinary people's clothes suddenly came to the wilderness at the foot of Jinshan Mountain from Jinling Prefecture to Jinshan Mountain. After quietly turning to the foot of Jinshan Mountain, they came to a pavilion at the foot of the mountain to rest.
Although the men sat there casually, their waists were straight and their eyes were even more conscious.
"Sing a mountain song and step on the wind all the way, the girl next door loves her brother..." A melodious song came from the middle of the mountain. For a moment, a young man in a shabby clothes but with an energetic Chinese family walked to the pavilion, with a bundle of dry firewood on his back, and a hatchet on his waist.
"So there is already someone, it's rude..." The woodcutter looked at the few people sitting in the pavilion and said to himself, turning around and leaving.
"This guy wait a moment, and it's a fate to meet. I'll sit here." A man who looked about thirty years old and dressed in a navy blue short-skinned face greeted the woodcutter with a smile, but the obscene aura of his bones made people feel that he was not very honest no matter how he looked at it.
"What can I help me, this guest?" The woodcutter hesitated for a while, but his pure character still had the upper hand. Seeing that a few people were a little more energetic, they were just dressed up by pedestrians and looked like they were rough-handed, they stopped and asked with a smile.
"Young man sang very well in this mountain. I look like I was going up the mountain to chop firewood, but why did I go down the mountain with only a little firewood?" the man said with a smile.
"The mountain and wild tunes can be called good. As for this firewood... I'm afraid this guest came from afar, right? He dared to come here even if he is in chaos? This whole mountain is the property of the Taoist temple. It is their pride that I can break some thick branches and rotten trees on the mountain and let me go home to cook some porridge and water for me to drink. They are already generous. If I really cut down a pile of firewood, I will be caught in the Taoist temple and punished me for being punished." The woodcutter looked around and complained in a low voice.
"Don't let it go, a Taoist temple in Huai Zhen, what right do you have to privately arrest the four people of the empire?" The man in blue slapped the stone case in front of him and said angrily.
"Guest, keep silent, silent. This Huaizhen Taoist Temple is now dependent on the Westerners. If you are not convinced, they will send you directly to the city and use it as a cattle and horse for the Westerners, and the end will be even more miserable." The woodcutter's face changed and he hurriedly persuaded him.
