Su Hejing, King Cheng's chief civil servant and counselor, was the strategic initiator of King Cheng's plan to raise the flag and divide his troops into two groups. At that time, he also accompanied King Cheng, but when the imperial army suddenly ambushed him, King Cheng's army was divided and scattered. Jin Ba didn't know what happened to him.
However, since King Cheng died, how could he, a scholar, survive?
Therefore, as soon as Jin Ba said this, everyone could only remain silent.
After eating, Jin Ba packed up his luggage and reluctantly looked at the small temple where he had lived for many years. He silently recited in his heart: Buddha, please forgive me for falling into the mortal world again without a pure heart!
"Master, are we coming back?"
Fankong asked him lightly.
Jin Ba smiled faintly.
"No reply, yes reply!"
The road ahead is uncertain, and life and death are uncertain this time down the mountain. The Buddha is in the heart, the temple is in the heart, what is the difference between returning and not returning?
Several people walked down the mountain briskly. The two disciples guarding the horses at the foot of the peak almost cried with joy when they saw several people coming down.
Now there are two more masters and disciples, Jin Ba, but there are fewer horses. Having no other choice, Xu Lang blushed and happily rode with Lin Yin'er, as did Lin Zhijing and Gui Xiaomin.
The sky was getting dark and the mountain road was rugged. After walking for about an hour, the group finally found a piece of flat land.
"Let's make it work here tonight!"
Gui Yunzheng gave the order decisively.
At this moment, those who light the fire are lighting the fire, those who are tying the horses are tying them, and those who are on duty are on duty.
At night, the Qinling Mountains are pitch black, with the sounds of birds and animals coming and going. However, when I saw these fires, I only dared to light up my hungry eyes in the dark night and did not dare to approach them.
Jin Ba sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and meditated while doing exercises. The former fierce warriors and the thundering shouts of killing seemed to be before their eyes again.
The sudden appearance of the imperial army disrupted their march plan. It must be said that the enemy's attacks are precise and their tactics are deadly. The long team was divided and could only fight on its own. In panic, many soldiers were killed in the breakout. At that time, he and King Cheng each set up a camp, but they were suddenly separated by the enemy. He tried several times to rush over to rescue his lord, but faced with an enemy force several times his own, his courage and strategy were really limited.
At some point, someone shouted: The Lord is dead! The lord is dead! For a time, the military morale became even more chaotic. The sky was dark and a heavy rain came unexpectedly. He finally took heart and led a group of personal guards to break out in the direction of Shangluo.
To be honest, he was dissatisfied with the defeat, but at the same time, he had to accept it. After all, they had misjudged human nature, misjudged their allies, and misjudged the strength of the imperial army. Failure is inevitable.
Looking back now, even if they left Shangluo at that time, as long as King Jing stayed on the sidelines and King Fu and others stood still, they might not be invincible! The final situation will probably be one where the vassal kings are divided and each dominates one side. How difficult it is to unify the world!
Jin Ba couldn't help but feel sad, and tears gradually flowed from the corners of his eyes.
After practicing meditation for more than twenty years, this old general is still passionate. Defeat is just a common thing for military strategists. As long as the lord's bloodline is still there, his mission is not finished.
When I go to Chang'an, things are really different and people are different. I wonder how many of the lord’s old ministers are still alive? Now that the king is back in charge, he is quite lenient. I wonder if there will be a chance to ask for his help?
Thinking of Fu Wang, Jin Ba's eyes opened. After listening to Gui Yunzheng talk about the current general trend of the world, he actually had some concerns in his heart. Gui Yunzheng's idea of marching out from the west seems to be the old path to becoming a king, but times have changed, and in his opinion, there is a glimmer of hope.
Now, as long as we win the restoration of the king, there will definitely be a place for the young lord in this world!
