Chapter 55: Contest 1
The reason why it is difficult for the Jin State to go all out to conquer the five capitals of the Liao State, the Khitan Native with the West Lamulun River Valley as the center under the jurisdiction of the Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing, is not only because Shangjing is the capital of the Liao State, but also because the Linhuang Mansion is the place where the Khitans gather; at present, the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo has been occupied by the Jin State, and the north of the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing is the land of the Jin State, and the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing and the Datong Mansion in Xijing are all areas dominated by Han people, and Shangjing is actually the place where the First World War of National Fortune was located.
The generals of the Liao army refuted Yang Zhi one after another, and the Song people were far inferior to themselves in fighting, which was really unashamed; Yelu Dashi and the others fell into deep thought, whether the prospect Yang Zhi said was nonsense, or whether the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State had begun negotiations, Yang Zhi specially revealed some news. Yelu Dashi thought about it for a while, waved his hand to signal his subordinates to be quiet, and asked Yang Zhi: "If you are in Shangjing, how are you going to fight?"
Yang Zhi excused himself twice, and when he saw that he couldn't dodge, he said: "Build a high wall and accumulate grain, the weakest link of the Jin army is to attack the city, as long as the grain and grass are sufficient, relying on the defense of equipment, there should be no problem in three or five years." As long as Liao can recuperate and recuperate at home, and there are no generals on the front line, the war should still be able to be done. ”
"I don't have a general who has defected in Da Liao. There was an angry rebuke from outside the tent, and six monks walked into the tent, led by a monk who was thin and capable, wearing a soap-colored monk's robe, with a peaceful gaze; The four accompanying monks, all skilled at their knack skills, had their temples bulging high, and when they entered the tent, they stood at the door of the tent.
Including Yelu Dashi, the generals in the tent stood up and saluted, and the thin monk waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, I just heard that the heroes of the Central Plains came here, and I came here to take a look." Master Yang Shi is arrogant, he does have the courage of a master, Master Tianxin, Gong is the national teacher of the Liao State, and the corpse is vegetarian, I just want to ask, Yang Shi is mainly in Shangjing, can he hold it?
It turned out to be Master Tianxin, Yang Zhi knew that this person's status in the martial arts of the Liao Kingdom was similar to that of Zhou Dong in the Central Plains, and he realized the immortal six illusions from the Great Prajna Gong, and he was a grandmaster-level figure. Yang Zhi didn't expect Master Tianxin's words to be so sharp, and he pushed himself to a desperate position with one sentence;
Yang Zhi saluted to Master Tianxin, and said with a calm face: "I am just a businessman casually said, now that Shangjing is tight, for the Liao State, the best strategy is to try to recover the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, even if it can't be defeated, it is good to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao to contain the forces of the Jin State; The next strategy is to fight to the death in Shangjing, which is the capital of the Liao State, and the victory of the Liao State is nothing, and the Jin State will make a comeback in a year or two, and the defeat of the Liao State will shake the foundation. ”
The faces of Yelu Dashi and the others were extremely ugly, Yang Zhi's three strategies still involved the hidden dangers mentioned earlier, if there was no unity in the Liao State, there would be no way to talk about the two strategies at all, and only the decisive battle in Beijing remained. The monk next to Master Tianxin smiled and said: "Yang Zhi, you Song people are cunning, you know that our Da Liao will not give you such a chance, so chew your tongue; ”
The Khitan people advocate force, and Hu Seng's words are in line with the minds of most of the generals in the tent, seeing that Yelu Dashi was about to open his mouth and was stopped by Master Tianxin, Po Likuo hurriedly introduced: "Yang Zhi, this is the master of Minglun, the presiding officer of the Hidden Dragon Temple." ”
Yang Zhi hadn't heard of it, but the demeanor shown by Yelu Dashi and Po Likuo showed that this Minglun master should be a first-class master, Yang Zhi bowed his head and said, "I don't know how the master is going to give advice?"
Master Minglun said with a serious face: "Competition, as long as you can walk a hundred moves in the hands of the Buddha, even if you pass the test, but if you die within a hundred moves, you can only blame your bad life." However, the Buddha is a monk and has the virtue of a good life, as long as you lose, as long as you offer the dragon bird knife, the Buddha will give you a chance to live. ”
Yelu Dashi was very impressed, and reminded Yang Zhi: "Master Minglun is the master of King Ye Luding of Qin, and Yang Zhi must not be rude." ”
Yang Zhi listened to Master Chaotianxin arch his hand and said: "I didn't expect the Liao Kingdom martial arts competition to be such a rule, Master Minglun can kill me,
I can't hurt him yet. ”
The Liao generals around him all felt a fever on their faces, and if they competed in martial arts, they should be equal to each other; Master Tianxin said calmly: "Yang Zhi, General Yelu has good intentions, and he is afraid of causing trouble for you; Master Minglun is such a person, how can he please you for such a skill? Master Minglun, otherwise you should sign a life and death document within a hundred moves to show fairness." ”
Master Minglun readily agreed, although Yang Zhi has gained some reputation recently, but he was just a petty officer in Bianliang; Yang Zhi asked coldly: "What if Master Minglun loses?"
Master Tianxin smiled slightly and said, "Master Yang, if this is the case, Lao Wei guarantees your safety in Da Liao, and anyone who wants to harm you is going against Lao Gao." ”
The status of Master Tianxin in the Liao State is the same, Yelu Dashi is happy in his heart, the key is to see how Yang Zhi himself is, immediately let people prepare life and death documents; Liao people advocate martial arts, the law allows life and death duels, so there is a ready-made version of the documents, and his officials quickly sent the documents in. Master Minglun knew Master Tianxin's intentions, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, and when he saw Yang Zhi signing the paperwork, he immediately took up the pen, and then lost the pen and went to the martial arts arena.
When Yang Zhi walked into the field, Master Minglun stared at Yang Zhi's figure with a glow, his spine was erect in an instant, his shoulders were slightly open, and the monk's robe was vigorously blowing, and a rolling air flow was born, and the grass dust on the ground floated for no reason. Yang Zhi's performance was much worse, he slowly pulled out the Dragon Bird Knife, put on a knife gesture, and stared at the tip of his knife, as if everything outside had nothing to do with him.
Yang Zhi stood in the middle of the field, in fact, he felt the strength of the opponent, the air flow was like a wave, constantly rotating, making it difficult for the opponent to avoid the heavy and light; since Yang Zhi could not defuse the attack, he could only brake statically and wait for the opposite paddle wheel master to strike first. The face of the master of the paddle wheel was covered with frost, and the right hand pointed out, the qi sword was round and muddy, and it had reached the realm of heaven and man, the surrounding color seemed to be dark, and the rotating air flow turned into an overwhelming offensive; Yang Zhi's knife had already moved, like a flexible fish, running towards the paddle wheel master along the gap of the air flow.
