After the enemy stepped on the ice, the strong men of the Northern Tang Dynasty took it by surprise and quickly broke the ice, and the enemy soldiers and horses would fall into the water and suffer heavy losses.Xiahou Chun didn't think about this, and said with a wry smile: "What you said is that this can indeed disintegrate the opponent's strategy of crossing the river, but in practice, it is very difficult, after all, a large number of martial arts are required to participate in the war. ”If he has such a master under his command, he naturally doesn't need to make difficulties, the problem is that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.With a small number of scattered cultivators in the army, the Tao is weak, and it is impossible to get on the stage at all, and it cannot compete with the strong Daomen who cultivate all day long.Ren Zhen thought thoughtfully, "Hearing you say that, it should be that the two families of Buddhism and Taoism have gone down the mountain." ”The Spring and Autumn Princes were not all in the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism took root in the south of the Yangtze River and were regarded as the leaders of the Taoism of the Southern Jin Dynasty.Taoism, in particular, has a deep relationship with the royal Chen family.It is said that in the old days, there was a generation of emperors, who saw through the chaos of the world, resolutely abandoned the country, and entered Longhu Mountain to seek Taoism.Even in this world, Dao Ancestor Changsheng Zhenren is also a descendant of the royal family, with the common surname Chen and the name Changsheng.Therefore, it is a sure thing that Taoism will support the royal family and help the Southern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Expedition.Xiahou Chun nodded and said, "Half a month ago, the Immortal True Person had already appeared with all the disciples under his seat to assist the white-robed army, like a tiger with wings.If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have retreated so quickly and failed His Majesty's high hopes. ”Daozu personally came and led the Taoists to appear together, just listening to this momentum, it was very huge.The top powerhouses charged into battle, how could ordinary soldiers have the power to parry, the defeat was like a mountain, and the defeat was not unjust.Dong Zhongshu, who had been silent, frowned, owed, and asked: "The people of the Taoist family are here, what about the Buddhist family" There are Confucian swords in the north and Buddhism in the south, and the strength of the two sides is roughly balanced.If only Taoists go into battle and come from thousands of miles to fight, then the Confucianists who gather the powerhouses of the seventy-two academies should be able to confront head-on and not fall too far behind.The tricky thing is that there is still a huge Buddhist gate in the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the sword path of the Northern Tang Dynasty has declined in the internal power dumping, far away from the mountains and forests, and now it is unrealistic to expect them to regain their strength.Xiahou Chun replied, "So far, we have not found the shadow of the monk.According to my speculation, it may be that they went their separate ways, and the Buddhists went to support the other two routes. ”Dong Zhongshu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.Ren Zhen still had a tense face, lost in thought.He was born in Jinling since he was a child, and he is well aware of the strong heritage of the 480 temples of the Southern Dynasty, and has a deep relationship with Buddhism.Buddhism has two peak powerhouses, one is the little monk Xuanbei, reincarnated by the great virtue monk, and the two have been friends since childhood.The other is the Fang Cun master of Lingtai Mountain, who has an unknown friendship with Ren Zhen, and in order to save the Sword Saint, he even did not hesitate to spend cultivation, and the contusion was not light.If they appear on the battlefield and become enemies of the Northern Tang Dynasty, Ren Zhen will be in a dilemma.Fortunately, they are not there in front of Chen Qingzhi.However, Ren Zhen had a bad premonition in his heart, and faintly felt that the Buddhist family of the leaders of the two old friends seemed to have changed, otherwise there would be no news and no Buddhist people on the battlefield.He was speculating, at this time Dong Zhongshu said: "The soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the earth, since the Taoists are out of the mountains, I Confucianism cannot be a wall-to-wall observation, and I should enter the world to save the country."
Without further ado, I will write an edict and order the seventy-two academies to come" Xiahou Chun was overjoyed, saluted respectfully to Dong Zhongshu, and flattered: "When I saw you coming just now, I knew that Lujiang City was saved."
The Confucian heroes gathered here, fighting with the Taoists, why worry about not being able to defeat Chen Baipao" Dong Zhongshu got up, smiled freely, and said: "The matter in the barracks, you can continue to discuss."
Xiao Cai, you order someone to clean up the room, and in a few days, you will be able to see your senior brothers" With that, he walked away and began to gather the Confucian disciples.Under the Confucian throne, there are ten philosophers, seventy-two sages, and three thousand, and this huge lineup will never be inferior to the Taoists of the Southern Jin Dynasty.At that time, in front of this Lujiang City, there will be a dragon and tiger battle that shakes the ancient and modern After Dong Zhongshu left, Ren Zhen retracted his gaze and said: "Army to army, martial cultivation to martial cultivation, Confucianism is willing to go out of the mountain, and now the situation is roughly restored to balance, General Xiahou, you no longer have an excuse to be defeated with confidence." ”Xiahou Chun was silent and lowered his head stupidly.Tang Yi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was full of contempt, and he said: "Dashuai, since we also have a strong martial arts to help, we should be able to go to the riverside to camp and make every effort to block the enemy army from crossing the river" "This" Xiahou Chun hesitated, he had already been killed by Chen Qingzhi, and he really didn't dare to risk his life and go to camp outside the city.Seeing this, Tang Wei clenched his fists, and his face turned blue with anger.With such a wretched coach, he is really aggrieved.Ren Zhen shook his head secretly.At that time, he recommended Xiahou Chun because there were endless debates in the court, and the conclusion was not reached for a long time, and this move was purely an emergency.Now it seems that this man is timid and lacks courage and courage, and is not the right person to manage the manager.He coughed dryly and said, "I will not overstep the military affairs of the Chinese army."
It's better to do this, please General Xiahou allocate 50,000 soldiers and horses to me and go to the riverside to station, you are still sitting in the city, commanding the overall situation, how "you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and dare not send troops, then let me come to meet the battle, head office Xiahou Chun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "Master Hou's plan is very good, you are outside the city, I will guard the city, we will become a corner, and cooperate with each other" He already understood the reason, but he was afraid of Chen Qingzhi's might and did not dare to try more.And now, Ren Allah has proposed to lead troops outside the city, so that power conflicts can be avoided, and he, the boss, no longer has to walk on thin ice and carefully serve Ren Zhen and others.Ren Zhen nodded, "Then it's decided." ”With 50,000 troops, plus 10,000 tiger guards brought, he finally has troops in his hands.Tang Shun's mind turned sharply, and he hurriedly said: "Since it is up to me to advocate, the last general is not talented, and I am willing to go with the Hou Ye to guard the riverside" He could see that Ren Zhen was calm and decisive, more stable than the appearance, and had the demeanor of a general, I don't know how many times stronger than Xiahou Chun.Good birds choose trees to perch, he has long been fed up with Xiahou Chun, and now is a good time to change camps.Xiahou Chun raised his eyebrows, extremely displeased with Tang Shun's actions today, and wanted to reprimand him, but Ren Zhen said: "That's fine."
I just wanted to see how General Tang governed the army. ”Xiahou Chun had no choice but to be silent.Tang was overjoyed and respectfully retired.He hurriedly walked out of the camp in a hurry, thinking in his heart that he must select the most elite 50,000 people and take them out of Xiahou Chun, a mediocre talent.In the camp tent, Ren Zhen stood up and said, "You are recommended by me, so don't worry, I will do my best to help you defend the Lujiang River."
As for your son Xiahouba, continue to follow me, I admire him a lot, and I have always taught him by word and deed. ”He had thought about this relationship a long time ago.With Xiahou Ba, a cunning person, with him, he can pass the news to Xiahou Chun at any time, whether true or false, so that he can control the decision-making of the Chinese army from afar.For him, so far, he has lacked a pro-army that he can control.If he had the chance, he wouldn't mind taking away Xiahou Chun's huge force.Xiahou Chun didn't know why, and said with a sneer: "The dog is not a weapon, and it is his blessing to be trained by the Hou Ye himself."
In the future, I will take care of him more and take care of him. ”Ren Zhenbao smiled and said goodbye to Xiahou Chun.As soon as he walked out of the camp, he saw Fan Dongliu waiting for him not far away.Fan Dongliu ran over and reported in a low voice: "Master Hou, Mr.
Xue is here, he asked me to tell you quietly that your old friend is also here." ”:
