Wulongling fell, where are "Song Jiang" and others?
When Dai Zong asked, everyone nodded and couldn't help but look at Wu Yingxing:
Fang Qifu made it clear before leaving that he had left two flying generals and five thousand soldiers for the Liangshan brothers to mobilize.
This kind of strength is not weak. Relying on such dangerous passes as Wulong Ridge, even if he falls, the entire army will not be completely wiped out, and no one will know his whereabouts.
Wu Yingxing was stunned and said with an awkward smile: "Brother, I don't know, but the officer and soldier came suddenly and with great ferocity. I fought with him and almost lost my life. I rushed back to tell you, but I didn't know the whereabouts of your brother."
Zu Shiyuan and others secretly sighed: Since you really don't know, but you made rude remarks before, isn't that a big advantage in others' hands?
Dai Zong glared and said, "I only know that Nalaoshizi Wulong Ridge was lost. You saw it with your own eyes! Since you don't know anything about it, how can you say that we and other grassroots bandits can't defend that ridge?"
Wu Yingxing argued: "The officers and soldiers came with great force. If Wulong Ridge had not been lost, how could the army have entered?"
Dai Zong snorted coldly, shook his head and stopped paying attention to him. He only looked at Zu Shiyuan and said, "Brother Zu, Dai is a newbie here and doesn't know the geography of your place. I would like to ask, is it true that only when Wulong Ridge is lost can the officers and soldiers advance greatly?" ?”
Zu Shiyuan nodded, and when he was about to say yes, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed: "Oh, if you didn't ask, Zu Shi almost forgot that there is a little-known trail in the mountains. , enough to bypass Wulong Ridge, could it be that Tong Guan found it?"
Wu Yingxing was also shocked, secretly yelling that it was bad, and said hurriedly: "That path is very remote and has been abandoned for decades. Even the mountain people are unaware of it. How could it be so easy for him to find it?"
Dai Zong had a sneer on his lips, cupped his fists and said, "Whether you find it or not, it's hard to know the details unless you see it with your own eyes - I also ask Brother Zu to send a familiar person to wait until Dai starts to do the magic. Go to Wulong Ridge with him for a walk, and you will naturally find out."
Wu Yingxing said quickly: "Oh, Brother Dai, no! The officers and soldiers are going to kill us every day. If we bump into him on the road, wouldn't it be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
Dai Zong sneered and said: "Don't worry, Dai only went there in two people. There are few people and the target is small, so the officers and soldiers are blind, and it is difficult to step on my shadow."
Zu Shiyuan listened to his words and made up his mind. He knew that if he pushed back again, he would inevitably end up with a grudge. He immediately looked at Xia Houcheng. It's better for the general to follow Brother Dai on a journey, and he will definitely be able to bypass the officers and soldiers."
Dai Zong said happily: "If this is the case, Dai is deeply impressed by his virtue."
Immediately, he told An Daoquan, and then he and Xia Houcheng went out. They took out four armored horses in their arms and tied them to their legs. They murmured the formula, supported Xia Houcheng and left, but saw two people The wind was flowing under my feet, as fast as a galloping horse, and I was suddenly far away.
Zu Shiyuan and others were shocked when they saw it——
It turns out that Muzhou is surrounded by high mountains and dense forests. If you don't know the way, you will inevitably get lost. When Dai Zong came before, he used the magic walking method to go to Shezhou first and found a fast boat to come along the river. Zu Shiyuan and others had never seen him use the magic walking method with their own eyes. When I heard him talk about it, I always thought it was a bit exaggerated, but now I realized it was true.
Qian Shu Huan Yi sighed: "There are such strange people and scholars in Liangshan, which can be seen as prosperous, but General Wu does not talk well and does not accumulate virtue. When Dai Zong met his brother, he handed over these words, but he did not say it. Deep down in my heart, I must have underestimated my Mingjiao.”
Zu Shiyuan gave Wu Yingxing a sharp look and sighed: "The matter has come to this. Fortunately, Qi Fozi is very close to him. He turned around and asked Qi Fozi to lead Yingxing to pour wine with him to apologize. Fortunately, Lai Yuan Get through this.”
Marshal Tan Gaoze said: "There is no urgency about the apology. Those who are really in a hurry, Tong Guan's army is coming to kill, and I'm afraid we won't be able to resist it. Quickly let people inform the Holy Duke, and help the elites of Yuandong to fight with them. His decisive battle is what matters.”
Zu Shiyuan nodded repeatedly: "That's it, that's it. This is a serious matter. You two will lead the generals and guard the city firmly. I will go there myself!"
At that moment, they rode on a good horse that was used to traveling in the mountains, and took Bai Qin, the "Tiger Thorn Spear", with him to escort them, and the two of them galloped to Bangyuan Cave.
It turns out that since Fang La raised his army, he designated the Yongle reign, made Qingxi his capital, and built a large palace. However, he lived mostly in Bangyuan Cave, which is also the location of the Mingjiao main altar. The sacred fire in the cave never goes out all year round.
The Bangyuan Cave is located among the mountains forty miles northwest of Qingxi. It is backed by a ridge called Tiandu Ridge. The main entrance of the Bangyuan Cave is in the middle of the ridge, and the interior is connected vertically and horizontally, like a maze of caves. , can hide thousands of horses and thousands of troops.
At the foot of Tiandu Ridge, there is a clear pool, covering an area of dozens of acres. Its water is clear and sweet. The water in the pool flows to the southwest and merges into Lianjiang River.
Zu Shiyuan and the two ran all the way, over the mountains and ridges to reach Bangyuan Cave. Seeing that they were approaching from the right, the soldiers guarding the gate naturally did not stop them. The passage in the cave was wide enough for a horse to run. Zu Shiyuan was familiar with the road and found it quickly. I went to the left prime minister Lou Minzhong and told him everything about the recent events.
This Lou Min Zhongyuan was a teacher in Qingxi County. He had a lot of articles and extraordinary swordsmanship. He had followed Fang La for many years and was also a member of Wusan in the teaching. Because of his prudent nature, he was given the important task of being the Prime Minister of the Left. Stay with Fang La and help him govern the country.
The relationship between the two ministers was harmonious. When Lou Minzhong heard what Zu Shiyuan said, he was shocked and hurriedly led him to see Fang La.
The place where Fangla is located is a sinkhole in the cave, hundreds of acres wide, with direct sunlight. It is no different from the outside world, except that it is surrounded by mountains and deep valleys on all sides, making it difficult for birds to cross. There are more than a hundred large and small houses built to form a palace. .
The two ministers on the left and right signed up and went straight to His Majesty——
In the middle of the Great Guangming Hall, a flame made of gold and red coral looks like a throne, with a big man wearing a nine-dragon embroidered robe standing atop it.
Judging from his appearance, he is about eight feet tall, with a strong body, big ears, bright eyes, and his hands are much larger than ordinary people.
Under the throne, on the left side stands Fang Qifu, the Envoy of the Left Envoy of Light and the Grand Marshal of the Army. Further down is Deng Yuanjue, the Tathagata of Precious Light, a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a gold and purple Bagua Taoist robe, and a general wearing vermilion armor. A man in black robe with a white face and no beard, and the other one is "Xiao Yang Youji" Pang Wanchun.
The judge heard: These are the leading figures in the Ming Cult. The big man in the dragon robe is naturally the famous Holy Gong Fangla!
Under Deng Yuanjue, the Taoist priest was "Lingying Tianshi" Bao Daoyi, General Zhu Jia was the prefect Zheng Biao, and the person known as "Zheng Mojun" was. These three people plus the deceased Lu Shinang , are the four great Dharma kings in his religion.
That man in black robe is Si Tian eunuch Pu Wenying. Although his martial arts skills are mediocre, he has the skill of stargazing and can best discern good and bad luck. He is also one of the five scattered people in the sect.
Further down, there are dozens of civilian and military generals, needless to say.
The two prime ministers on the left and right came in, and after a dance of worship, Fang La asked him: "Prime Minister, now that the enemy is coming to invade, you are not in charge of Muzhou. You come to see me. There must be something important. It doesn't matter if you say it now."
Zu Shiyuan said: "Your Majesty, I have come here in a hurry, but because the military situation is so fierce, I dare not delay even a little bit. Tong Guan's army attacked Dongguan, and the guard general Wu Yingxing returned in defeat; I sent him to Wulong The reinforcements from Ling met the main force of officers and soldiers on the way and were defeated in a fierce battle. They retreated to Qingxi. Now his army will arrive day and night. Such important matters must be decided by His Majesty."
Fang La was shocked when he heard this, and then said angrily: "If Wulong Ridge falls, wouldn't Jinzhi be in danger? Tianding already knows whether he will live or die. If Jinzhi is negligent, won't my bloodline be cut off?"
He looked at Fang Qifu with an angry look and shouted in a deep voice: "Qifuzi, didn't you say that those heroes in Liangshan were extravagantly capable of fighting and guarding Wulong Ridge with no mistakes? If you had known that the natural danger would be lost in just a few days, let Deng Wouldn’t it be good for the monk and Xiao Pang to guard it?”
Fang Qifu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Wu Zhi has far-reaching plans and is good at fighting. If it weren't for his help, Qifu wouldn't be able to lead so many people out of Hangzhou. With his ability, he would never do it." Unable to defend Wulong Ridge, Qi Buddha guessed that Tong Guan was lucky enough to find the path behind the mountain and bypass the ridge."
Zu Shiyuan said: "I think what I think is the same as that of Fang Zuo. There is one more thing to report to your majesty. Bo Dai Zong and An Daoquan from Liangshan came to Muzhou on a starry night journey to treat the injured generals. Now they have received the power of a miracle doctor. , Marshal Fang Jie has turned the corner, and Dai Zong didn't believe that his brother had lost the pass, so he went to investigate privately with Xia Houcheng."
Hearing that Fang Jie and others were fine, everyone had smiles on their faces. Deng Yuanjue chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? The brothers in Liangshan have a deep sense of loyalty. It's a short trip back and forth over two thousand miles." Five thousand miles away, he came here within ten days, so he is really a good friend."
Fang Laben also smiled, but when he heard this, he put away his smile, glared at him and said: "You, a great monk who doesn't eat fast, are easily gullible. What do you know? That Wu Zhi, sitting with the military envoy of the imperial court, On the one hand, he hooked Liang Shan up for his own use, and he was very successful in both black and white. How could such behavior be something that an ordinary person could do? The more he worked so hard to show his kindness, I... ah no, the more people felt that he had bad intentions. "
Bao Daoyi smiled pitifully and said: "Your Majesty, the Holy Ming, is very aware of this man's scheming. Previously, there were rumors in the world that he fought for the dog court in the north and south. Many of Wang Qingtian Hu's masters were captured by him. Come to my Jiangnan. , I am afraid that he is also planning something like this, like a brainless monk like Monk Deng, who sells to others and pays for people, and sooner or later he will be deceived into Liangshan - haha, I heard that there is a man named Lu Zhishen in Liangshan, and so is A reckless monk, you two just make a pair of fat monks, eating dog meat and drinking soju, they complement each other."
Deng Yuanjue was furious, jumped to his feet and cursed: "Traitor, you know how to imitate a mother-in-law to give birth to a child - spitting blood! The Buddha may seem reckless, but he is actually very wise. How can he be easily deceived?"
"Zheng Mojun" Zheng Biao is a fellow villager with Xia Houcheng, and is also a native of Wuzhou. He once served as the capital of Lanxi County in Wuzhou. He is familiar with guns and sticks. When he met Fang La in his early years, he ate Fang La and beat him up, and he was convinced. , joined the Ming Cult, and because of his deep love for Taoism, he became a disciple of Bao Daoyi and learned many spells——
Therefore, although they were both Dharma kings, he respected his master very much. Seeing that Deng Yuanjue was scolding him unpleasantly, he helped him by saying, "Su Hui? You always eat the most meat whenever you eat. If Su Hui is really there in the lunch box, he has already suffered from grease." Soaked in feces. Hum! Monk Deng, in the past few days since you came back, you have mentioned the word "Liangshan hero" hundreds of times every day. My master said that sooner or later you would be tricked into going to Liangshan. That's because he thinks highly of you. I see, You are just like that old lady with loose belts, you can do seventy-two postures yourself without being deceived."
The judge heard: This demonic sect has a saying that "eating food becomes a demon", but how can people who practice martial arts get so little profit? Therefore, although the followers at the lower level ordered them to behave strictly, the leaders at the upper level could not help but eat with their mouths full of oil.
Baoguang Tathagata's nature is like a blazing fire. Hearing his insults, he let out an "ouch" and went up to beat him. However, Fang Qifu quickly grabbed him with quick eyes and hands. He jumped on his feet and struggled: "I will let your majesty be the middle man today. Lord Buddha will do the same." You, master and disciple, have a good fight, and if you two join together, Buddha will not beat you out of Amitabha, so he will let you grow your hair and become a Taoist priest."
Zheng Biao geared up: "We have agreed that Master and I will treat you the same, and neither of us will use magic. Today, I will make you worship Laojun!"
Without saying a word, Bao Daoyi lowered his body and hit Deng Yuan with a palm, which caused Deng Yuanjue to be in pain to the bone. He used his strength to break away. Poor Fang Qifu had been seriously injured by the forceful movement magic skill before, so he did not dare to use any force at this moment. He immediately struggled to free himself with a tiger roar. He rushed forward and got into a fight with the master and disciple.
The three of them are all good players, and when they are used against each other, the wind is roaring, and they will hurt people when they touch each other, scaring everyone around them to move away.
When Fang La saw the chaos in the palace, the Imperial Master, the Heavenly Master, and the lieutenant in front of the palace were fighting in a ball, without any solemn look, and he was angry and angry. He jumped up and threw himself between the three of them. He waved his big hands with palm prints all over the sky, How dare those three take action against Fang La? He quickly withdrew his hands and took three palms from one person, causing him to somersault and fly out.
Fang Qifu smiled and said: "Your Majesty's Great Nine Heavens Hand has been improving recently."
The three who were beaten groaned and stood up. They all stood aside with lowered eyebrows and did not dare to speak.
Fang La said coldly: "Do these few slaps make you submit?"
Bao Dao Yi nodded repeatedly: "I accept it. I accept it. I shouldn't be as fussy as that bald donkey. Your Majesty punished me well."
Zheng Biao also had a look of pain on his face, struggled and clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for staying strong, otherwise the three of us would have died."
Seeing his laziness, Fang La laughed and scolded: "You are the pillars of my family, how can I really hurt you? It's just that our careers are different now. We don't think of ourselves as rough men in the world. None of you are national teachers." , that is, Taiwei, you must know the word decency."
Deng Yuanjue rubbed his cheeks and muttered: "Decent, decent, the emperor will jump down and beat the ministers. This is the decency of my Yongle Dynasty."
Fang La rolled his eyes in anger and kicked him hard on his fat buttocks: "Damn it, you bald donkey dare to make fun of me? It seems that you really want to commit suicide!"
After hearing this, Deng Yuanjue screamed with grief and anger, fell to his knees and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you. If you say so, pull out your sword and chop off this bald head, otherwise I will be innocent." Without it, it will be difficult to be a human being."
Fang La laughed angrily and cursed: "Don't talk nonsense, your innocence is gone. I am such a good man, but I don't like your ass. Get out of here and don't mess with me - and Lao Tao Bao, You don’t know what Monk Deng’s temperament is like? Why did you say he surrendered to Liangshan?”
Bao Daoyi said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that the man named Wu had bad intentions?"
Fang La snorted and said proudly: "Wang Qing and Tian Hu are just a mob, what kind of people are they? Can they also gather heroes? I am different, I am with you, I am a king and a minister, and I am a brother, let alone Wu Zhi He is just a military envoy, and the Emperor of the Zhao family has given you a high-ranking official position, will you go?"
Everyone shook their heads and laughed: "Zhao Guan's family gave up their seats to the brothers, but no one was willing to sit with him."
Fang La laughed loudly, pointed at himself and said, "If he is really willing to give up his seat, I would be willing to take a seat."
Everyone laughed. After laughing, Fang La looked serious and said cheerfully: "Actually, I can clearly see Wu Zhi's bad intentions. This guy has a big heart. He not only wants to be a member of the Zhao family, The Jiedushi, the second in charge of Liangshan, and the prince-in-law of my Yongle Dynasty! Haha, what a good calculation, no matter who the world belongs to in the future, this dwarf’s wealth will not be short of half!"
Zheng Biao was shocked: "This guy is a dwarf? How can he be worthy of Princess Jinzhi?"
Fang La sneered and said: "Not only is he a dwarf, he is also a dwarf with a wife. He wants to marry my daughter Fang La and make him a child - Monk Deng, now that you know that he is working so hard for his life, are you doing it out of loyalty or why?"
Deng Yuanjue scratched his bald head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. Although that guy is shorter, he is a very capable man. If you get his service, he will be more useful than Chen Seng and Bao Laodao." There are many, enough to compare with the Seven Buddhas, so I am really worthy of Xiao Jinzhi."
Bao Dao Yi Niu's nose was so angry that he was crooked: "If I am more useful than you, I am more useful than you. Why should I be more useful than Pindao? If Pindao was guarding Wulong Ridge, how could he let that eunuch bypass him?"
"It's better to go around!" Fang La suddenly said, and the expression of the great man in the world was instantly gone, revealing the domineering aura of Emperor Yongle: "The only person the Zhao family can rely on is the Western Army. Since he has come around, I can personally lead the expedition. After destroying this army, the whole Zhao family will be at your fingertips!"
As soon as he said this, the civil and military ministers were all in high spirits, and they all shouted: "Your Majesty has great talents and great plans, and I am willing to serve you to the death."
Fang La smiled and said: "But the reputation of the Western Army has been hard-earned, and I don't underestimate him. Otherwise, Hangzhou would not have been so miserable! I will send out all the imperial troops here, and then go to Shezhou to deploy troops and horses. To assist in the battle, let Minister Wang Yin and Minister Gao Yu come and kill the enemy together."
Bao Daoyi was shocked and said: "No, Your Majesty! If the two kings and ministers return, Shezhou will be empty. Now that Huxuan has been lost, and the Song army goes to attack Shezhou, won't my place become a place of death?"
Fang La chuckled and said in a low voice: "Otherwise, what can I say? That guy Wu Zhi is very thoughtful. Do you know who is leading the partial army that attacked my Huxuan Second Prefecture? Prime Minister Lou, please tell everyone. Know."
After hearing the words, everyone looked at Lou Minzhong, who smiled faintly: "It was difficult to find out that the Song army was small in number, but its combat power was extraordinary. The leading general was the commander of the military and horse capital of Gaotang Prefecture. His surname is Wu and his name is Song, and he is called 'Huo Dian Wei' by people in the world."
Deng Yuanjue was shocked and said: "Ah, 'Huo Dianwei', 'Wu Mengde', isn't this Wu Song the direct brother of Wu Zhi?"
Youfenjiao: There are continuous holes in Bangyuan Cave, and there is a string in the center of Fang La's heart. Without solving Cao Cao's schemes, his whole life's foundation is half in vain.
