Nanyue is paired with a red bird,
The order of etiquette comes from the hundred kings.
I wish Rong Wufeng Zun,
The peaks and peaks are low and high.
In Du Gongbu's poem "Wang Yue", he vividly points out at the beginning that the peaks of Nanyue are really like a red bird spreading its wings.
Since ancient times, it has been said that Nanyue has seventy-two peaks.
Indeed, in the period when later generations could overlook it from a high altitude, we can see that within the 800-mile radius of Nanyue, it is headed by Huiyan Peak in Hengzhou in the south, Yuelu Mountain in Tanzhou as its base in the north, and Zhurong Peak in Hengzhou as its base in the middle. The main ones form the famous seventy-two peaks.
People in this era naturally have no chance to see the panoramic view. They only know the magnificence of the seventy-two peaks. I have to sigh with emotion at the greatness of the ancients, who could actually imagine the beauty in the description. Even future generations can confirm its accuracy one by one.
Of course, many people may remember the five highest peaks among them, Zhurong Peak, Zigai Peak, Furong Peak, Shizhen Peak, and Tianzhu Peak, but few people know Huiyan Peak, headed by Nanyue Peaks.
In fact, since ancient times, Huiyan Peak in Hengzhou has been famous far and wide, and it has been dubbed the first peak in Nanyue.
In fact, it is one of the eight famous scenic spots in Xiaoxiang in later generations and the main scenic spot of the famous Pingsha Luoyan. And the name of Pingsha Luoyan does not need to be explained one by one.
The peak of Huiyan Peak is not high, less than 100 meters in height. However, it is located on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, which creates the famous misty rain scenery of Yanfeng in Hengzhou in later generations.
As for the literati of the past dynasties, it is even more rare that they left famous sayings in Huiyan Peak.
Wang Bo in the early Tang Dynasty had a good line in his famous poem "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion": "The formation of wild geese startled the cold, and the sound cut off the Hengyang Pu". It makes future generations daydream about the unforgettable beauty of the Xiangjiang River.
Du Gongbu, a great poet in the prosperous period of the Mid-Tang Dynasty, not only once lived in Hengzhou, but also left countless good poems at Huiyan Peak, including "Thousands of miles of Hengyang wild geese, returning north this year" and so on.
People say that northern geese fly south and rest at Huiyan Peak, then stop going south and then return north from here, so this place is called Huiyan Peak.
From the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty, great poets from the Central Plains such as Qian Qi, Liu Yuxi, Liu Zongyuan, Du Xunhe, etc. all left poems and essays in Hengzhou that praised the people.
The writing was created by the scenery, and the scenery was conveyed by the writing, so Huiyanfeng became famous all over the world.
But after seeing the height of Huiyan Peak, many people find it difficult to imagine that this is the famous Huiyan Peak. Even the local people, except those who have lived here for generations, and often some new immigrants, find it difficult to pay attention to this small mountain peak.
Since the Later Liang Dynasty, Hengzhou has become a royal capital several times under the leadership of Ma Chu, which is quite impressive. However, since Ma Chu withdrew from Hengzhou, it has also suffered many military disasters, making Hengzhou and even the famous Huiyan Peak no longer the original scene.
Most of the scenic spots left by celebrities have been destroyed and lost, and hundreds of thousands of ancient trees have been cut down.
There has always been the famous Shanmen Temple on the peak. It is said that it was founded by Master Hongxuan in the 12th year of Liang Tianjian (513). It is a famous and special place in Zen Buddhism. For generations, there have not been many believers here, but after the war, the place has also become quite withered.
Shanmen Temple was originally named Chengyun Temple by Emperor Wu Xiao Yan and witnessed the glory of the Southern Dynasties. After the Sui Dynasty, it was changed to Yanfeng Temple, which may be the most appropriate name for Yanfeng. It was not until the Tang Dynasty that the temple got its current name.
In fact, Shanmen Temple has another name, but it is even more famous in Hengzhou.
It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a Zen Master named Zhou Zonghui. He was originally from Chen County, Chu region. He traveled around and preached in all directions during his lifetime. When he died, he was near Quanzhou. The believers were inspired to make great vows and follow the instructions to welcome Zen Master Zonghui back to Huiyan. peak.
Later generations said that he was born in Chen County, passed away in Quanzhou, lived at the age of 139, and became a Buddha in Hengzhou.
It was also because after he was welcomed back, he sat in the temple from then on. His body was not broken but he became a golden body of a flesh Buddha, which was a temporary manifestation of his holiness. And because it constantly appeared in the Chu area, even during the Ma Chu period, Ma Yin specially consecrated it, and since then this place has been revered as the Flesh Buddha Temple.
Huiyan Peak is on the bank of Xiangjiang River, and Roufo Temple is on Huiyan Peak.
The Meat Buddha Temple near the river has a somewhat awe-inspiring aura and a bit of mystery.
The pagoda forest near the river was left by the eminent monks of the Roufo Temple. It not only brings together the essence of the lifelong practice of eminent monks, but is also the place where relics of great wisdom are enshrined.
On top of a seven-level pagoda, a man stood there with his hands behind his hands, looking quietly at the riverside separated by a wall.
Nowadays, the Xiangjiang River is full of soldiers. Looking at the robes they wear, they are obviously the military robes standard in Hengzhou City today. Because the high wall of Huiyanfeng Roufo Temple just encircles the Xiangjiang River outside Hengzhou City. Now I don’t know why these soldiers are outside the city. Everyone has weapons in hand.
Moreover, everyone's armor was in disarray, and some of them were injured. It was obvious that they had just gone through a conquest. Although it was only a hundred or two hundred meters away from the wall, there was no exit here. They were sitting or leaning aside with weapons in hand, but there was no tense queue.
The man on the pagoda couldn't seem to see his face clearly, but he could be seen looking at the soldiers. Because the soldiers resting along the Xiangjiang River looked like a dark group, but there were quite a few of them. He seemed to be born to be one with the pagoda, standing there motionless.
There were two large battleships docked by the Xiangjiang River, and a group of people stood on the bow of one of them. They looked at the Meat Buddha Temple on the high wall in front of them and kept pointing. The huge flag hung on the bow of the ship, with a big Chinese character written on it, rustled in the river wind.
Zhang Wenbiao's face showed no emotion, and no one on the side made any noise. In fact, his teeth were almost broken. Looking at the man standing on the pagoda, he felt as if his whole body was being ignited by the anger in his heart.
That figure looked like a fairy. Accompanied by the chanting of the bells in the Buddha Temple, it seemed hazy and ethereal. Zhang Wenbiao's eyesight was not very clear, and he looked as if he was separated by a layer of veil.
He seemed as tall as a god, but also like a king at the gate of a temple, standing there with supreme majesty. He was standing there so casually, but he gave off the aura of a high mountain.
As the sun sets, ripples appear on the river. The afterglow of the setting sun caused golden waves to appear on the river surface, which also reflected on his body on top of the pagoda, seeming to coat his body with a layer of gold.
Looking back at the soldiers on the shore in front of him, as well as the soldiers who had just retreated from the battle, Zhang Wenbiao's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.
The people surrounding him as guards were all his cronies who had followed him to support Yongzhou this time. They never thought that except for them, the rest of his troops in Hengzhou City were missing.
Not only had his old home been taken over, but he also received accurate news that his uncle Zhang Yuan had also been killed. This is really a shame and a great humiliation. If Zhou Xingfeng of Langzhou knew about it, I am afraid that his position as governor would be in danger.
This Hengzhou City is the capital for your own fortune. How many supplies and reserves are there?
In order to suppress the power in his hands, Zhou Xingfeng did not let him command many soldiers. Eighty percent of the soldiers he secretly recruited near Hengzhou received their own salaries. These things were tacitly understood, and it was impossible for Zhou Xingfeng to look at them.
If this matter spreads to Langzhou, Zhou Xingfeng may play into his heart and relinquish his power at any time.
Zhang Wenbiao felt that he was burning with anger. How many important documents were there in the Governor's Office in Hengzhou City, and the plans he had worked so hard to lay out? With the fall of Hengzhou City, he was afraid that they had already fallen into the hands of the opponent. .
When he thought of this, Zhang Wenbiao almost went crazy, but when he saw the people following him, although his face was ugly, he still maintained a moderate calm.
Indeed, no one expected that one of their layout decisions would cost such a heavy price. I originally thought that rushing to Yongzhou's aid would be able to kill two birds with one stone. Who knew that things would go against his wishes and make him completely passive.
The other party doesn't have many people in Hengzhou City, and now they have sealed four gates to hold on. The method adopted was a tricky one, but he himself had some tricks to avoid. The reasons for this cannot be explained one by one. After all, Hengzhou City is now in their hands.
His family members were all in Hengzhou City. Although the other party did not use them to intimidate, Zhang Wenbiao knew not to be fierce. This was the main reason why Zhang Wenbiao did not dare to attack with all his strength. People who do great things are not shameless on the surface, but there are also such people in extraordinary times.
The wall of the Meat Buddha Temple is only five feet, which is no less than a mountain to Zhang Wenbiao. More than 10,000 soldiers rushed over after being ordered by him, but they watched helplessly as the walls around Hengzhou City prevented them from entering.
A remote place like the Meat Buddha Temple was originally a good place to enter the city. But since noon yesterday, this person has been sitting at the Meat Buddha Temple, as if he has locked his whereabouts, which makes Zhang Wenbiao go crazy.
Although he didn't know who was in charge of Hengzhou City now, and even no news came out from the city, Zhang Wenbiao vaguely guessed that the man on the pagoda was one of the masterminds of the invasion of Hengzhou City.
With the earliest report from the military academy, Zhang Wenbiao felt that the most hateful thing was that these people who occupied Hengzhou City actually pretended to be his uncle Zhang Yuan, used the tiger charms in the army to mobilize troops out of the city, and completely controlled Hengzhou City. Take the initiative.
Zhang Wenbiao closed his eyes and understood the general idea. He knew that these people had been planning for a long time, but he actually thought that Hengzhou City was impregnable. Now it seems that it is indeed a joke. Hengzhou City is indeed impregnable in front of him, but he cannot enter the city now.
Is this considered digging a hole to bury oneself? Zhang Wenbiao felt his nose was on fire and turned his head to look at the Vulcan Sword Ouyang Xue beside him. Although Ouyang Xue is a local snake, he can be regarded as a wise man who surrendered to him relatively early. Now, I am afraid that everything in Hengzhou City will still fall on him.
The other party was able to successfully seize Hengzhou City. They must have stolen the tiger talisman they delivered to their uncle Zhang Yuan after attacking him. The specific situation made Zhang Wenbiao very angry, because the tooth general who was following his uncle ran away.
Those bodyguards were obviously afraid of settling the score themselves, and Zhang Wenbiao kept cursing in his heart. Because these people were afraid of death and fled, the other party transferred all their soldiers stationed in the city. The Hengshan Sword Sect has its roots in Hengzhou City. I just hope to get some news.
"Sir, please wait a moment!" Ouyang Xue also felt a little embarrassed. Since this group of people occupied Hengzhou City, they liquidated the forces in the city in a short period of time. The forces of my own sword sect in the city have also been completely cleared out. Now it is indeed difficult to find out the truth.
After all, I still missed some time when I rushed back to Hengzhou City from the waterway, and even with some transfer orders, I couldn't execute it. Everything in the army is based on orders. The other party got the tiger talisman from Zhang Yuan to give orders. No lieutenant in the army could disobey him. They really recognized the tiger talisman and not the person.
The people following Zhang Wenbiao were even more embarrassed. Although they were all skilled people, they had been invited back by Corporal Zhang Wenbiao, or they had defected to the governor's office themselves. But when it comes to such a major military incident, no one can help.
"Sir, what do you think of this person?" Zhang Wenbiao's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at the figure on the pagoda with half-squinted eyes, and there was a hint of hatred in his words.
Ouyang Xue did not speak rashly, but looked at Mr. Liang Er and others who were following him. When he went to Yongzhou City to help Chi, not only did Mr. Liang Er suffer a setback, but Master Huolong was also captured. Although Zhang Wenbiao was accompanied by several good players, everyone was watching Ouyang Xue's actions.
From Ma Chu Ma Xi'e's National Protector Sword Sect, Zhang Wenbiao came to visit. Ouyang Xue has received a lot of respect, and naturally understands the principle of admiration. Therefore, you must not only take into account the face of these people, but also do not let yourself fall into passivity. This is one of Ouyang Xue's principles.
Originally, according to his thinking, as long as someone went to fight with the person on the pagoda, he would definitely be able to tell the person's origin from the opponent's moves. This was Ouyang Xuebeng's strong point. However, when everyone arrived outside Hengzhou City, they attacked the city for more than a day, but still could not capture the city.
Who dares to go now?
Mr. Liang Er is also a native of Hengzhou, so he naturally knows a lot about Ouyang Xue. With some thought in his heart, when he saw Ouyang Xue looking this way, he vaguely understood what Ouyang Xue meant. Thinking that his trip was not very honorable, he coughed lightly and stood up half a step.
"Your Excellency is well aware of everything and must know that the opponent's intentions are not trivial. We have been fighting for more than a day now. Looking at this situation, we have to find other methods!" Mr. Liang Er said a few words to save the moment of embarrassment.
Seeing that Zhang Wenbiao didn't say anything and Ouyang Xue looked calm, Mr. Liang Er felt a little more confident and coughed softly again: "Someone dares to speak out. I hope you won't take offense!"
As expected, Zhang Wenbiao didn't reply, but his face became slightly relaxed. He actually raised his hand to Mr. Liang Er and said in a calm tone: "Mr. Er is also a guest of our house. The current situation in Hengzhou City is here. The other party has obviously been planning for a long time. Er Wanwang can express his opinions freely, sir."
Now that we are in a difficult situation, Zhang Wenbiao is not stupid, so he naturally takes the opportunity to win over people's hearts. Who knows when we can capture Hengzhou City, and we still need the help of these people. Zhang Wenbiao still has to show this kind of popularity and generosity.
"According to a certain family, there are two possible strategies now!" Mr. Liang Er saw everyone looking at him, straightened his waist, and said seriously: "I don't know when the senior immortal of the Paradise Sect will be able to come back, if that's the case When the two seniors come back, your problem will be solved!"
Zhang Wenbiao naturally knew this. He made a strong promise to Nan Fenghan and Wu Ni that day, which prompted them to return from overseas. Although he knew that the Bliss Sect had long wanted to take over the Central Plains, his identity was the main reason for the Bliss Sect's bet.
He naturally trusted Ouyang Xue in the skills of the two of them. As for the number one person in Hengzhou, he was one of the first people Zhang Wenbiao wanted to win over since he took charge of Hengzhou. He has naturally seen Ouyang Xue's skills, and he can be said to be one of the two most skilled people around him.
Zhang Wenbiao never believed that there would be anyone in Yongzhou City who could stop Nan Fenghan. But since the two of them went to Yongzhou City, there has indeed been no news. Not only did he fail to report the information about Yongzhou City on time, but he almost got himself killed in Guanyin Beach.
As a self-confessed generational hero, Zhang Wenbiao felt like he was lying to himself if he said he didn't have any complaints in his heart.
But Zhang Wenbiao believed that the two would not abandon their promise. After all, Zhang Wenbiao believed in Nan Fenghan's forbearance and his desire to return. I am afraid that not many people in the entire Central Plains will be able to fulfill the promise I made to Nan Fenghan.
Although the two of them are experts outside the world, as a practicing sect, they must need help if they have any goals. The cooperation with Nan Fenghan, to put it bluntly, is just mutual use. Mr. Liang Er broke this key point, but Zhang Wenbiao himself did not dare to mention it, as this would irritate the experts gathered around him.
Because there are two masters of the Bliss Sect beside him, although they cannot compare with Nan Fenghan and Tuo Ni in terms of status, their skills are probably not inferior to Ouyang Xue and Mr. Liang Er. When he returned to Hengzhou City, he was frustrated and asked two people about Nan Fenghan. Hearing that they said that the two masters would be back soon, Zhang Wenbiao was speechless because he didn't know when.
This time, after the other party took advantage of him to lead the army out of the city, he plotted against his uncle, who was Sima. Not only was he prepared in advance, but it was also a well-planned move.
The more Zhang Wenbiao thought about it, the clearer he became, and he naturally became more wary of these people. Because their actions were like dancing on the edge of a knife. Although he went out to assist Yongzhou City, he also left a partial land transport general to help his uncle. If they were not careful, they would lose everything.
However, there are not so many assumptions in this world.
Mr. Liang Er saw the unkind expressions of the man and woman next to Zhang Wenbiao and knew that they were also disciples of the Paradise Sect. The man was Yue Wei, a disciple of Nan Fenghan. Although he is extremely conceited, he also knows that he is too far away from the Paradise Sect, so he would not dare to offend anyone from the Paradise Sect.
Nan Fenghan and the two old immortals were not here, so Yue Wei himself was no match. So he immediately said with a smile: "Of course, if the two immortals can come back, it is naturally a foolproof plan. The other plan is that we need the help of Brother Ouyang and all the guests!"
Zhang Wenbiao listened to a few words, calmed down, and made a general analysis in his mind.
Looking at the proud man standing on the top of the pagoda, I vaguely felt that I had seen it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember it, and I fell into deep thought for a while.
The sunset has completely lost its luster, but due to the season, the distance is still faintly visible. In this haze, Zhang Wenbiao looked somewhat powerful, and he said to Mr. Liang Er: "Mr. Er, come and take a look!"
Yue Wei, a disciple of Nan Fenghan, wanted to have a fit when he heard Mr. Liang Er suddenly say something. But seeing that Zhang Wenbiao seemed to be at his wits end, it was true that the two masters did not come back either. Besides, he was still a cultivator after all, and for Zhang Wenbiao's sake, he held back.
"Since the other party's calculations are so good, we just need to follow their methods and respond to them. Your Excellency only needs to send people into the city to find out the details, and let people entangle this pagoda on the pagoda. Then you will know how to arrange it!"
Zhang Wenbiao was a fan of the authorities. He knew at that time that his uncle had been killed mainly because the generals he had left behind were transported out of the city by land. For land transportation, it is because of normal rotation. As for the officers and soldiers in the city being transferred out, there is nothing that can be done about it because of the Hufu transfer order.
But the other party took advantage of the opportunity to return to the camp by land, and then accurately seized this opportunity to attack and kill his uncle Zhang Yuan. It seems that although there is an element of luck in all this, it is obviously mainly due to the accuracy of planning.
Now if the other party has eliminated its power in Hengzhou City and took the opportunity to block all the gates of Hengzhou City, there is really nothing that I can do. But as long as someone sneaks into the city, understands the distribution of the opponent's forces, and then encircles and attacks from three sides, it won't be a problem to capture the opponent.
The main thing is to understand the opponent's troop distribution and the current situation in the city, so you won't be so blind.
Zhang Wenbiao suddenly became enlightened when he thought of this. He looked at the man at the pagoda with a sharp look in his eyes.
He seemed to see the sky was getting brighter, so he said in a deep voice: "Mr. Second, what you said makes sense. Now we only need one person to entangle this person, and someone else to enter the city and use some means to figure out the distribution of the troops. Then we can attack with all our strength!" "
Looking at the calm expression on Ouyang Xue's face, knowing that he must also agree, Zhang Wenbiao felt a little proud. He asked several people to come closer, because he knew that things were not that simple. Hengzhou City was easily broken back then, and there must be someone in the city or around his uncle who was there to help.
And he had been attacking the city for so long, but he could not break through the opponent's defense line. Although he had the intention of surrendering to the enemy, someone on the other side must have grasped his situation. If someone on his side surrendered to the enemy, Zhang Wenbiao thought it was not impossible.
Zhang Wenbiao had always ignored this point before, but now he became more and more convinced that it was true. This is simply a shame for Zhang Wenbiao, who has always been forbearing and conceited.
"Mr. Ouyang will obviously want to find out where this person is from later. Even if he goes to the Flesh Buddha Temple with others, he can only watch the battle from the sidelines. Now I don't know who can fight to relieve my worries!" After discussing the details, cooperation and preparations , feeling more and more feasible that this plan was feasible, Zhang Wenbiao looked at the people around him eagerly.
Although everyone knew the result, when it came time to implement it in the end, they looked at each other a little bit. After all, during the almost two days of encirclement and attack on Hengzhou City, the man on the pagoda seemed to be able to sense things naturally and followed Zhang Wenbiao's actions.
Obviously he has locked onto Zhang Wenbiao and will definitely pay attention to Zhang Wenbiao's every move.
Everyone has seen him take action more or less, but they can't figure out where he came from. A few extremely simple punches and kicks are often unstoppable. If we go in and fight him this time, I'm afraid it won't be a simple matter of fighting.
And there are people here who have fought against him a few times, but because these two teams are fighting, it is difficult for individuals to fight alone, and they will be scattered by the chaotic army. Even though he had an opponent, he never found out his origin.
But looking at his simple moves, everyone naturally knew that this person was extremely dangerous.
The sky seemed brighter and the moon seemed to come out.
After several shocks in the day, everyone seemed tired.
People kept coming to report the battle situation, and Zhang Wenbiao arranged for soldiers in all four gates. It was said that not only were some people leading a violent counterattack, but also people in the city seemed to be helping, which made Zhang Wenbiao even more angry.
The eight battleships brought out have been deployed on the Xiangjiang River in sections. Night is not a good time to attack. Although he also had guards who were trained according to tattoo techniques, after nearly two days of attacks, Zhang Wenbiao also saw that the opponent also had specially trained people.
This is what Zhang Wenbiao is most afraid of, and it is also where he feels vaguely bad.
A large number of soldiers on the Xiangjiang River took turns sitting and lying on the riverside to rest. The whistle was on watch high above the fighting ship, and someone in the Roufo Temple was also on duty.
Four figures passed by in the moonlight, as if they were leaving a rabbit's cave, leaving a few afterimages in the moonlight. They quickly disappeared under the wall of the Meat Buddha Temple, where they were sheltered by the tall trees of the Tallinn.
Although most of the outer branches were cut down due to the war, there are still green trees inside the wall.
After a while, it seemed that there was no movement inside the wall, and these figures quickly climbed over the wall and passed by. He didn't even alert the people on duty in the temple, and rushed towards the tallest pagoda in the pagoda forest.
Under the bright moon, under the hilltop, an even more dazzling white light flashed by. It was a knife light that made people feel sad.
