Chapter 866: The Beginning of War
In fact, there is no need to say much about bitterness, and the understanding that is no longer confused at this time has also been heard...... Something happened to this Yangzhou City!
"Master, what should you do then?" He didn't have any objections to his master's arrangement, and he didn't ask much about what was going on in the city, but asked where his master was, "Aren't you going to Jinling with us?" ”
Bitterness shook his head, "I won't go as a teacher!" According to the way of seeking Buddha from above, and making a wish from the bottom to the sentient beings, all sentient beings will be exhausted, and Bodhi will be proven, which is a great wish. This wish is made before immeasurable birth and death, and the wish made in the past is called this wish, and this wish is the foundation for the realization of the Buddha's path. All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas make vows when they are in the cause and place, and they are all called ...... wishes."
Kuai recited a Buddhist scripture, but he didn't know what it meant. In his opinion, his master should go to Jinling to see his granddaughter's ......
He understood his master's temperament, shook his head, said no more, turned back to the meditation room and began to shout......
In the sixth year of Shuangqing, on the sixth day after the Jinling Incident, Yangzhou City, which was only 100 miles away from Jinling, was surrounded by refugees outside the city for several days, and someone finally took advantage of the night to open the city gate...... For a time, tens of thousands of refugees poured into the city, and the flames soared into the sky, wailing all over the city. This group of refugees is like locusts, wreaking havoc and looting in the city of Yangzhou. This has passed, and since it is another human tragedy where wives are separated and blacks are sent in vain!
At the same time, the Qinglian Sect in Huansang County, south of Jinling, also hung up the banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty and began to march to Hangzhou, the capital of Nanqing. All parts of Jiangnan, from officials to ordinary people, have also unveiled their ways to comply. This Nanqing is already a critical time for ups and downs!
Above the court, the Nanqing Emperor, who was bent on recovering the northern land, finally began to be anxious. Originally, he wanted to ask Generalissimo Hu Qilin to mobilize 3,000 men and horses on the frontier to quell the ...... between the Qinglian Sect and Jinling But he didn't expect that this Qinglian Sect was one step ahead of him!
Before Daqing was divided, the capital was originally in Luoyang City in the north, and the emperor of Nanqing also grew up in the north. Although he has moved the capital to Jiangnan for many years, he is still a little uncomfortable with the sultry weather.
The sweltering weather, coupled with the affairs of the Qinglian Sect, couldn't help but make his temper a little irritable. looked at the civil and military officials under the court, and threw down the beads that he was playing with in his hands. The bead gurgled forward on the ground until it hit the threshold.
None of the civil and military officials dared to speak, these officials who lived in the temple and were always thinking about how to make money and how to tell the truth and wrong, they all thought that the Qinglian Sect was just a group of rabble, but they didn't expect it...... There are a lot of them now!
"General Hu, how many troops are there in the city now?" The first to inquire was naturally about the troops, and now the Qinglian Sect was about to call, and wanted to go to the border to transfer troops, but it was too late.
As the generalissimo of Nanqing, Hu Qilin was not afraid at this time, he came out of his voice and took a look, "Your Majesty, all the available troops and guards in the imperial city add up, there are nearly five thousand people in total!" ”
"Five thousand? Is that all? For this figure, the emperor of Nanqing was obviously very dissatisfied.
"This ......" Hu Qilin didn't know how to reply for a while, so he could only grit his teeth, "If Your Majesty orders it, the last general will lead these five thousand men and horses to exterminate this group of thieves!" ”
Before, it was 3,000, but now it's 5,000...... It seems that the number of people is too much, but as far as Hu Qilin is concerned, in fact, these 5,000 people are far less than the 3,000 people transferred from the frontier.
Of course, as a force guarding the imperial city, it is well-equipped and looks majestic, but this kind of thing depends on experience! These soldiers in the imperial city have basically never been on the battlefield, to put it bluntly, this is completely more than 5,000 recruits!
Although the Blue Lotus Sect is also a group of refugees who rebel with hoes, the Blue Lotus Sect has won the hearts of the people and has an advantage in numbers. Therefore, when Hu Qilin said this, he was actually comforting the king's heart.
"General Hu, you're too confident, aren't you? There are nearly 100,000 people on the other side, and you bring 5,000 people...... Although I know that you are a heroic warrior, those soldiers are not necessarily the same as you, right? Emperor Nanqing hadn't spoken yet, but Pang Mingjing, who was standing on the right, stood up...... Even at this time, he didn't forget to step on Hu Qilin.
Hu Qilin originally wanted to comfort Jun's heart, so when he saw this Taishi standing up and accusing himself, he didn't refute it, but just snorted coldly, "Then ask Taishi Pang for your tricks!" ”
Pang Mingjing was actually preparing to admonish, but he was just waiting for such an opportunity...... "Your Majesty, the reason why the thieves of the Qinglian Sect turned to attack the imperial city and gave up Jinling, which was closer, must be afraid of that Shi Yuan. We only need to gather the strong men, temporarily hold the cities along the way, and then send envoys to Jinling, so that Na Shiyuan can send troops...... With such a two-sided attack, this group of thieves can be wiped out! ”
Compared with Hu Qilin's initiative, his move to defend is indeed the best way at present. Emperor Nanqing, who was sitting on half of the dragon chair, also nodded when he heard him say this......
Seeing this master's expression in his eyes, he was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "Moreover, as long as we hold the cities along the way, we will have enough time to mobilize the troops on the northern border of Yangzhou...... When the time comes, they have no way back, you make a holy decree, and those people who are bewitched by the Qinglian Sect are afraid that they will also defect! ”
The plan looked perfect, but what he didn't know was that Yangzhou City was now in the hands of the Qinglian Sect. In the north of Yangzhou, the main force in the confrontation with Beiqing has actually become a lone soldier at this time! Besides, whether it can be held is still a question!
Of course, he can't be blamed for that. After all, Yangzhou is still some distance from Jinling, and the changes in Yangzhou have not yet been heard.
After listening to Pang Mingjing's words, the emperor of Nanqing was indeed moved. But the reason is not because of how clever the idea is, but because he thinks of a person - a hundred flowers! No matter what happens to Baihua in Jinling, he is his daughter after all, as long as he can find her in Jinling, I believe there will be a way!
"General Hu listened to the order and ordered you to be the generalissimo of rehabilitation, and bring ...... from the imperial city Bring 3,000 troops to Hucheng, catch Ding in the local area, and be sure to hold Hucheng! ”
Hu Qilin didn't refute Master Pang's words this time, and when he heard the master's order, he took it hard. He knew in his heart - this was destined to be an extremely difficult battle to defend the city! If you lose...... This Nanqing is over!
