Chapter 250 Who?
There is a saying that if a person lives to be seventy years old, then his sleep will last nearly thirty years, the most common one.
The second most time is waiting.
It may take about fifteen to twenty years to wait, but you are not aware of it.
The Shaolin monks were waiting nervously until the dusk was approaching.
The sun was already west, and the follow-up troops at Guan Tianzhao at the foot of the mountain finally arrived..." After two days of rest, more than a thousand soldiers were well-dressed, with spearmen, swords and shield soldiers, archers, and generals riding horses. Pedestrians avoided the mountain along the way and came directly to the foot of Shaoshi Mountain.
The leader is Guan Tianzhao himself!
In fact, many people have objections to Guan Tianzhao’s military campaign in Shaolin.
For example, Shangguan Xiong.
Shangguan Xiong believes that the first problem in Henan now is to strengthen the city defense of Zhengzhou. Henan still has nearly 100,000 troops. Although it is unable to counterattack Luoyang, it is still fine to defend Zhengzhou.
Zhengzhou did not lose, and then he pleaded with support from the northwest, either had reinforcements or could capture the gateway between Chang'an and the northwest. In this way, the emperor's imperial commander declared his death.
When the emperor retreated, perhaps his side had the day to return to Luoyang. At that time, it was time for the end of the Zhao Dynasty of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
However, the Jiedushi seemed to have other ideas, and his actions during this period were also quite mysterious. Although the loss of Luoyang had a great blow to him, his spirit was still strong and he was stubborn and he had to take action against Shaolin.
Shangguan Xiong knew that the Jiedushi had a deep resentment towards Shaolin Temple. The abbot saved Zhao Wuji and made the Jiedushi's plan fail.
The second plan of the envoy Jie Liao was actually destroyed by Shaolin Temple, and Zhao Wuji was able to escape and return to Chang'an. This incident was an important turning point in Henan's decline from prosperity and also exposed the behind-the-scenes actions of Guan Tianzhao and others to the front.
Although it cannot be said that Guan Tianzhao lost the opportunity to conquer the world because of this incident, the role played by this incident is definitely very huge.
After that, the battles in the world and the Heavenly Dao Alliance disintegrated, the Jiedushi lost one arm again.
The Jiedushi had long wanted to completely solve the problem of Shaolin Temple, but he was a filial son. He knew that his father had become a monk in Shaolin Temple, so he never attacked Shaolin Temple.
However, since the Taoist priests from Kongtong arrived, the attitude of the Jieduian has changed.
First of all, I am not so concerned about military affairs and government affairs. Secondly, I don’t care much about other people’s feelings. From this time I made up my mind to send troops to Shaolin, I can see that the interests and hatred of the governor have surpassed the father-son relationship in his heart.
Shangguan Xiong was just a general, and he had no right to decide what was going on. He could only give advice to the governor in marching and fighting.
The Imperial Village Mountain in front of you is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are two roads to go up the mountain, but in the end, you must launch an attack from the main gate of Shaolin Temple.
Shangguan Xiong's opinion is that since he has arrived, he will take a break now. It is almost dark. You can't attack at night with lights. It's better to have breakfast tomorrow morning to conquer it in one fell swoop.
But when he made this suggestion, Guan Tianzhao directly denied it.
"Shangguan Xiong, you are too cautious. This Jiedushi thought that you would take the initiative once and lead the personal guards to take down Shaolin Temple as a gift for me."
"The military orders of the Lord are very strict, and Shangguan Xiong dare not cross it."
"It's okay, I won't blame you for obeying the orders, but this Shaolin Temple is a small place with only two or three hundred monks. Is it worthy of such attention? Do you still want to arrange troops like siege? It's so funny! I passed my order and rest on the spot. After a stick of incense, I will kill Shaoshi Mountain. When I was holding the lights, I would have to drink tea in their abbot's courtyard."
"yes……"
Shangguan Xiong wanted to raise some objections, but he knew that it was not appropriate to say more at this time. The Jiedushi made up his mind that no one could change it.
The order was wrong and rested on the spot, and then rushed to Shaolin Temple after a while.
Shangguan Xiong led several generals to urgently arrange combat plans.
Actually, I have no plans, the main point is which road to go up the mountain.
The bluestone stairs should be good, but it is not suitable for cavalry passage.
If the cavalry walks alone on the mountain road of running horses, it is unsafe without infantry accompanying him. In the end, it was decided that 500 cavalry and 2,000 infantry would go up the mountain from the mountain road to strive to conquer Shaolin in one fell swoop!
...
Before the arrival of Guan Tianzhao at the foot of the mountain, Huo Yuan was really alone in the abbot's courtyard.
This time, the delay was a critical moment for Shaolin's life and death. Huo Yuanzhen had to make a detailed plan, such as facing the seven thousand tigers and wolves at the foot of the mountain.
Although I have many ideas in my mind, I cannot effectively connect them together.
Once the battle begins and the situation changes rapidly, Huo Yuan is really unable to be sure where he will go. Even if his wisdom is indeed true, his thoughts are a little confused at this moment.
I was dizzy when I was thinking indoors, Huo Yuanzhen finally stood up and slowly came to the table.
It seems that my mind is still not calm!
If Shaolin passed this level, everything would be easy to say, what if he couldn't get through?
If you can't get through, you can't retreat. If you lose Shaolin Temple, all your hopes will be shattered. Shaolin will become the world's largest sect and will never be able to achieve it. You can't get through the system level.
The temple is there, and I am there. If the temple is gone, I will no longer have the meaning of existence.
If he died, who would remember this abbot who rose like a comet, emitted thousands of light, fell like a meteor, and finally left only a shadow in the night sky.
Needless to say, the monks of Shaolin Temple are broken, and their ending will not be better than themselves.
Will believers?
Maybe, but that is short-lived. The believers believe in the Buddha, not as a monk.
Who else can?
Ning Wanjun may know, she once said to herself: "If I hold your hand like this, I will be happy."
This monk has already left a deep shadow in her girl's heart when she was just beginning to fall in love, and it is not so easy to forget.
Murong Qiuyu can meet, probably, and the last embrace on West Lake, the two of them are connected in their hearts, and she can no longer forget herself.
What about An Ruhuan?
Will definitely!
Sister An seems to be cold, but in fact, she values friendship the most in her heart, how can she forget herself? How can she forget the pain of the last parting for more than ten days and nights, how can she forget the promise she gave her, "The refined steel can be transformed into soft fingers..."
There must be infinite tenderness in her heart.
Fortunately, all this was assumption. After thinking about it for a while, Huo Yuan had gradually gained a glimpse in his heart. The seven thousand troops sounded like a lot, but it might not be impossible to deal with them.
If you win this battle, Shaolin Temple will usher in an unprecedented peak of development, at least there will be no stumbling blocks in Henan that can cause obstacles to itself.
Huo Yuanzhen quickly wrote a poem on the paper.
"Life is like fog and illusion. If you linger in the mortal world, you will be an immortal. The true god should regret entering the heaven, and it will be difficult for you to accompany your fate in this life."
This poem was written by Huo Yuanzhen to give it to Yu An Ruhuan. For some reason, I suddenly remembered it and wrote it out casually.
Just after finishing writing, a slight "Huh" sound suddenly came from outside, as if it was Miao Miao.
Huo Yuanzhen turned around suddenly and said, "Who is in Shaolin, why don't he show up to see me?"
There is no sound outside.
Huo Yuanzhen raised his hand and felt the use of internal force. The window of the abbot's courtyard was opened and he jumped out. The sound just now came from this direction.
But after going out, the outside was empty and there was no one at all.
The Golden Eagle and the Old Crow are now used by themselves to monitor the direction of the mountain gate and observe the movements of Guan Tianzhao's army, so there is nothing to monitor on the back mountain.
I flew into the room and looked around, but I still found no figure.
Get off the room and go back to the room.
When I got indoors, Huo Yuan really felt a slight change. Someone who came indoors was different from when I went out just now!
I looked around and looked around, and my eyes swept across the dark square, without any change, and I swept across other places, without any change.
"Well! Why did the words I just wrote disappeared?"
Huo Yuanzhen discovered that the poem he had just written on the table was now gone.
"Who is it? He actually took away this useless poem?"
Huo Yuan really didn't know that, so he hurriedly contacted the Golden Eagle in his heart, wanting the Golden Eagle to come back and see who is there in the surrounding area?
However, when Huo Yuanzhen contacted the Golden Eagle, he found that Guan Tianzhao's troops had arrived at the foot of the mountain to rest and were about to finish the rest.
Many soldiers stood up and started to line up.
About five hundred cavalry and two thousand infantry were gradually lined up and listening to the officer's lecture, they should be about to start an attack on Shaolin Temple.
Huo Yuanzhen hesitated for a moment and closed the doors and windows of the abbot's courtyard. Although he didn't know who it was, this person seemed to have no malice. Taking away a poem should be mostly curious.
The most important thing now is to deal with the war that is about to begin.
I looked around unwillingly, but the surroundings were still empty. This was the area behind Shaozhu Temple. There was no one left, and everyone went to the front.
After locking the door, Huo Yuanzhen left the abbot's courtyard and rushed to the temple gate.
The battle that determines the fate of Shaolin Temple is about to begin.
...
Chapter completed!
