Chapter 995: There is only one big zongzi
At night, a bright moon shines on the white earth.
The camp of the Qin army, which stretched for dozens of miles, was full of bonfires, reflecting the sky.
The Chinese army camp where Emperor Hongwu was located was even more crowded.
More than 100,000 people make zongzi, because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival.
The soldiers were homesick, but the soldiers knew that without victory at the front, there would be no peace for their families in the rear. The belief in defending their home and country made them stick to their duties in a foreign land. They used the rice dumplings in their hands to wrap their homesickness.
The military song was loud and inspiring, and they swore that after the festival, they would rise up and take the enemy's last city, Fulousha.
The soldiers made small zongzi, and Emperor Hongwu personally made "zongzu".
This zongzu can be big, the leaves are spread out, as wide as a football field, and there are hundreds of large pots around it, which are soaked rice.
However, this qiē is all disguise. In order to show respect for the Buddha, Emperor Hongwu selected a thousand "pious" Great Qin warriors, including himself, to bathe, change clothes, eat fasting and chant Buddha. These more than 1,000 people are responsible for making zongzu. In order to allow Emperor Hongwu to calm down, more than 100 monks sang with their backs crossed their knees. And further away, martial law has been cleared so as not to disturb it.
Scene.
Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao and other generals on both sides were standing, and Deva, the representative of the Great Lei Yin Temple, was also there.
"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely complete his mission, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent!" Hao Zhao, the commander of the Great Qin Blade, and Wang Jibai, the deputy commander, fell to the ground.
They were very excited, because the emperor had given the most important task to the Great Qin Blade.
"So, let's get started." Qin Feng got up. Waved.
Thus, the vigorous Zongzi making movement began. It's just that it's not rice, it's people. I saw a thousand special combat soldiers of the Great Qin Blade. Sitting, standing, or lying down, some clinging to a log for support. After careful calculations, the leaves begin to close and gradually form a huge polygonal shape. If the dumpling leaves are nailed to the logs, they can be fixed well. Zongye is made of many layers of palm leaves superimposed and bound, and the bearing capacity is also good.
In the sound of Sanskrit singing, everyone watched the process. One by one, they thought in their hearts, this plan is very mysterious, and maybe it will really succeed.
However, Guo Jia was a little worried, and said: "Your Majesty, there is news from the secret agents in the city, the enemy is always on alert, obviously, the enemy has paid attention to this grand event. Our army only needs to show a little more slackness, and the enemy will surely pour out. But....... Will it be recognized? ”
Jia Xu said: "Maybe after luring out the enemy, set up an ambush?" ”
Qin Feng shook his head and said, "This Fulou Shacheng is surrounded by arid areas, and there is no place to hide soldiers. And head-to-head. Kushan had a warrior, Akaral, and the enemy had the option to retreat back to the city immediately. We were unable to completely annihilate the enemy, and the enemy retreated into the city again. There's no temptation to do that. There is only one chance, and it is not a matter of intrigue. in order to break the enemy. ”
Everyone nodded in unison.
"As for what Feng Xiao said, there are many reminders." Qin Feng thought about it for a while. Said: "You can let Deva stay to confuse the enemy, and then find Hu Ming's medical administration, so and so arranged, one more insurance, one more possibility of success, ......." ”
"The emperor's clever plan, thoughtful, I can't wait!" Guo Jia and others said together.
Qin Feng just smiled, and said in his heart that the master was also pirated here, so he said to Deva: "Archmage, I don't know what you think?" ”
He was promoted to tithes and said, "I am willing to sacrifice my life for the Dharma Protector God King!" ”
Qin Feng was very pleased that his attitude towards religion was freedom of belief. After all, there was no science and technology in ancient times, and high-profile propaganda of science did not show, and the ancients still needed faith. This is also the reason why ancient religions were prevalent on a large scale.
Emperor Hongwu's later Zen principles and friendly attitude towards Buddhism were respected by the monks of the birthplace of Buddhism in the subcontinent, which was beneficial for him to rule this continent.
When the night passed, but the next day's sun shone on the earth, Qin Feng completed a qiē arrangement. The soldiers were extremely lax, and all of them looked lazy about to celebrate the holidays. And in the barracks, the grand and gorgeous venue has been arranged.
And in the city of Fulousha.
"Great, this is Guishuang's chance, the only chance." The old Gasega II could not hide the excitement of his resurrection, as if he had returned to his youth, and he was once again facing a fateful battle.
On the contrary, the Imperial Marshal De Fesses, who had made the idea before, was a little worried, "Your Majesty, if you defend the city, you will definitely be foolproof...... ”
Kasega II, there is only one city left, Fulousha, even if he can hold on for ten or twenty years, what if he can escape defeat in the end, it is better to fight back when he has strength. "It's a chance, the only chance to turn the tables around. Deliver my edict, and assemble the army. When the enemy camp sounded the cry of celebration, it was the time for them to perish! ”
On the other hand, the Qin army camp, in order to lure the enemy to attack, Emperor Hongwu withdrew most of the garrison forces. It gives people the illusion of contempt for the enemies in the city and warmly welcomes the festival celebrations.
Soon, the Qin army camp was boiling.
In order to allow the enemy to bring the "Zongzu" back to the city, Qin Feng made many arrangements, among them, he had installed hundreds of wooden pulleys on huge zongzi for transportation.
He built a high platform next to the huge Zongzu, and on the square in front of the high platform, more than 100,000 Qin Feng soldiers gathered. The cauldrons are steaming white, exuding the fragrance of zongzi. In order to highlight their respect for the Buddha and elevate the status of the sacrifice "Zongzu". He asked Deva to lead hundreds of eminent monks to chant the sutras on the lotus-shaped "fruit seats" on both sides of the platform.
The high platform is very Buddha culture, with an apricot yellow Buddha umbrella cover, a resplendent Buddha backlight wall representing the spiritual aura, and a statue of the Buddha behind the dragon chair. Qin Feng sat on the dragon chair, and the senior monks crossed their knees on the fruit seats on both sides. There is a Buddhist umbrella cover behind it, and there is a spiritual circle backlight wall. That formation is really exactly the same as what Tang monks and apprentices saw when they entered the treasure hall of Da Lei Yin Temple.
In the midst of the Sanskrit singing, Qin Feng got up and said, "I have come here with you thousands of miles away, just to liberate the oppressed people of the Buddha country. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival of my Daqin, and it is also the festival of the Buddha. Whether it is the old Qin people or the new Qin people. We are all a family, we love each other under the light of the Buddha and build a home together. Under the light of the Buddha, there will be no more slaves, no more oppression, as long as you work hard for goodness, you can live a happy life. When I grow old, I will personally open the door to the Western Elysium in the light of the Buddha and lead you ....... ”
No matter what the old Qin people thought, the new Qin people who believed in Buddhism, that is, the soldiers of the Qin Concord Army, that is, the various ethnic groups in Guishan and Yinzhou, cheered enthusiastically.
In the warm cheers, Qin Feng personally walked down the high platform and came to the side of the "Zongzu" to start the sacrificial ceremony. During the sacrifice, Qin Feng mostly said words of encouragement to the soldiers.
And the soldiers of the Great Qin Blade hiding in the "Zongzu" clenched their fists one by one, and they endured the darkness, crowding, and stuffiness that ordinary people could not bear, waiting for the moment to enter the heart of the enemy. They will turn into sharp blades, stabbing open the hearts of their enemies and receiving friendly troops into the city.
The cheers of more than 200,000 people reached Fulousha City.
Kasega II, personally donning his former robes and holding aloft his sword studded with precious stones, "The enemy has slackened, the time has come for Kushan Nirvana, our great Kushan will be reborn in the blood of the enemy, and the light of the Buddha will once again shine on the land of Kushan." ”
The fanatical cries of more than 100,000 soldiers in Guishan followed the "king of kings" and poured out of Fulou Shacheng. And at this moment, Gasega II stood in the carriage and charged ahead. The sword in his hand has never been lowered, and as he was in his youth, he will guide his warriors to a great victory. And the enemy will eventually fall at the feet of the greatest "king of kings" in the history of Kushan.
"Charge, for glory!"
"Kill! Kill! "In the midst of the dust that obscures the sky and the sun, the Kushan warriors, who have become a torrent, respond loudly to their king.
The sound of footsteps that made the earthquake tremble, and the shouts of killing that made the heavens and the earth change color, interrupted the sacrificial grand gathering in the camp of the Qin army. When the soldiers followed the prestige, they saw that in front of the Fulousha City, there was a boundless dust that covered the sky and the sun, and the thick dust could not hide the light of the sharp blades that were shining in it, covering the ground.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! "The soldiers panicked.
And Emperor Hongwu Qin Feng could not hide the joy on his face, and shouted: "Don't mess up, Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, and Shamoke lead the garrison to meet the enemy." For the rest of the people, the whole army retreated! ”
"What!" The soldiers of the Qin army were a little in a daze, they thought that the emperor would lead the army to fight, but they did not expect to give the order for the whole army to retreat.
"What are you doing in a daze, the emperor has an order, the whole army retreats!" The officers shouted.
"Maybe it's a strategic retreat ......."
"Despicable enemy ......." The soldiers of the Qin army thought so, since most of the people were gathered together, and it would take time for the enemy to run over. Therefore, the officers and men of the three armies retreated steadily.
"Deva, it's up to you!" Qin Feng said before leaving.
Deva tithe, "Please rest assured that the poor monk will live up to the ...... entrusted by the God King." ”
So, Qin Feng took the army and left the camp with a whip and disappeared in the south.
And Huang Zhong and other generals just made contact, so they pretended to be invincible, turned around and left.
Half an hour later, the noisy battlefield became silent.
Gasega II blushed and trembled as he walked, and he had achieved a victory, a great victory. His generals thought so, however, when they came to the venue where Emperor Hongwu worshiped the Buddha, they were stunned.
Because the whole venue was already in a mess, the only thing that could catch the eye and be thought-provoking was only a big zongzi. (To be continued......)
