Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law

Late September.

Tianchuan City.

Although the news of the plague in the north was blocked, it was impossible for such a long time to pass by without leaking any news. In addition, Jin Xia's spy clothes deliberately spread the news, so the news naturally spread to the capital.

In the Fuze Restaurant in the south of the capital city.

The literati, scholars and dignitaries sat around the square table and whispered.

"Have you heard that a plague broke out in Youzhou? Many people died. The imperial court sent many imperial doctors there."

"Hiss! Plague? Real or fake? Who did you listen to?"

"I have no comment, but I heard that the plague is very serious and has spread to Cang and Gao states."

"This is happening, please tell me, please tell me."

When the people at the next table heard this "explosive news", they immediately came over and asked people to talk about it carefully.

But this man is not stupid. He knows that the news has been blocked by the court. He can tell his friends and pretend to be cool in front of his friends, but he dare not tell outsiders for fear of getting into trouble.

But when the man at the next table saw that he didn't say anything, he immediately resorted to provoking and taunting him.

"What are you pretending to be? How dare you say that there is a plague? If there is a plague, how could I not know about it? My brother is working in the court and he doesn't even know about it. You know it. You are really good at talking nonsense. You If you do this, you have to be arrested by the Yamen."

After saying this, this man started talking about the plague in Youzhou. He didn't know what he was angry about, his face turned red. He was young and energetic, and he liked to pretend in front of his friends. He couldn't stand such ridicule, so he stood up immediately. Lai shouted: "Is this your grandson who lied to me?"

"Hey, dear grandson, tell grandpa who taught you such nonsense."

"Ha ha."

The commotion was quite loud, more and more people came over, and some people were booing inside.

Young people care about face. They couldn't stand being provoked and teased like this, so they handed over their bosses.

Seeing that what the young man said about having a nose and eyes didn't seem to be false, and there were rumors about the plague in the capital recently, the people present were in an uproar with horror on their faces.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, the young man's face was still a little flushed, as if he had gained a great "sense of vanity", and he said, "Do you know where this plague first spread from?"

"It's the Fuze Restaurant in Youzhou. There was something wrong with the beef and mutton in the restaurant. Almost all the people who ate the beef and mutton were infected with the plague, and no one was spared."

"vomit"

After the words fell, the expressions of some of the people who had listened with great interest changed drastically, and they quickly bent over and vomited.

Some people even raised their throats and turned pale.

Who doesn’t order beef and mutton when they come to Fuze Restaurant for hot pot?

Just when everyone in the restaurant was panicking and at a loss, a burst of noise suddenly sounded from the street.

"The Emperor of the Wei Dynasty issued an order: I bear the destiny of Haotian and unify the people of the four seas... In July, I learned that a plague broke out in Youzhou, killing thousands of people, and affecting You, Cang, and Gaozhou. After investigation, it was found that the plague originated from Jin. Xia is Jin Xia’s conspiracy against me, the Wei Dynasty. To this day, nearly 10,000 people in the Wei Dynasty have died due to the plague..."

On the street, there was a scholar reading the notice posted on the wall by the Yamen. A large group of people had gathered around him, and their expressions changed when they heard the scholar's words.

"Jin Xia is a serious danger to the country. It has invaded our Youzhou border and invaded our territory several times. Now it has lost its conscience and spread plague to the Wei Dynasty and harmed our people. This is unbearable. I have decided to conquer it myself and put an end to it. Jin Xia, tell the world”

The scholar finished reading the content on the notice.

Through notices, the surrounding people learned that a plague broke out in Youzhou and other places, and many people died. According to the investigation, the plague was spread intentionally by Jin Xia. The crowd was furious for a while, and now they heard the scholar saying that His Majesty would personally conquer the country and put an end to the plague. Jin Xia, when it was time to take revenge, everyone cheered.

The bloody man at the scene wished he could throw himself into the battlefield and kill the enemy in blood.

This news spread to the restaurant. After the retching guests learned about it, their faces became even paler. Originally, they were doubtful about this matter, but now that the notices have been posted, there is no need to think about it, it is 100% true. .

For a time, their throat-grabbing became even more intense.

He was afraid that the beef and mutton he ate was the same as the plague-stricken beef and mutton in Youzhou.

In short, after the notice was posted and what happened in the north was announced to the world, the whole city was in an uproar. What followed was a surge of anger and overwhelming support for His Majesty's personal expedition and the crusade against Jinxia.

Some people even went to the Hubu Yamen to donate money and materials to the army. People all over the city united and twisted into a rope.

Jin Xia's spy clothes, who were hiding in the capital, suddenly changed their expressions and sent a message to Jin Xia in horror.

…

Early October.

Nanyang, Qingzhou.

Under the warm autumn sun, on the school grounds, war drums were thundering. Ten thousand elites of the Wei Dynasty, fully equipped with armor, compound bows, horizontal knives, and round shields, were standing neatly and orderly to be inspected by General Chang En.

Flags were fluttering on the school grounds, and the bright red cannons had their muzzles protruding from the black cloth covering them. They were neatly arranged on both sides of the army. Together with the solemn and solemn military appearance, they seemed to be able to crush all obstacles in the world. .

Chang En was riding on a tall horse, while Cui Shuang and other generals were on the left and right.

After glancing at the military column in front, Chang En pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed to the north, and said loudly: "The whole army attacks!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The shouts and shouts went straight to the sky.

In Youzhou, the plague has subsided. He was infected with the plague and fell into a coma. As long as he was still breathing, he took the medicine prescribed by the Nalanyi people and got better. After drinking three doses of medicine, he basically recovered.

Of course, people who have died from the plague cannot be resurrected.

The "disaster relief funds" and relief grains allocated by the imperial court, as well as the compensation from Fuze Restaurant, have all arrived in Youzhou and been distributed to the affected people.

…

In Yingcheng, Nalan Yiren and Yuzhu were wearing silver armor, holding knives in their hands, standing behind Chen Mo with their backs straight, and they were scanning the frontier troops under the high platform with Chen Mo.

The frontier army was fully equipped with 50,000 men, all of whom were elites who had experienced many battles. Half of them were equipped with compound bows.

Zhao Liang delivered a speech below.

The main purpose is to emphasize the evil done by Jin Xia to Wei, and to stimulate the hatred and morale in the hearts of the soldiers.

…

Night falls.

In the garrison camp in Haiyan Pass, the garrison commander Tuoba Zhu was not asleep yet and could not sleep.

There are many spies in Youzhou that Jin Xia has infiltrated, and these spies have recently passed all the happenings in Youzhou to him through carrier pigeons, including the movements of the army in Youzhou.

Although he didn't know that the emperor of the Wei Dynasty had arrived in Youzhou, judging from the current situation in Youzhou, the plague god in Youzhou was already on its last legs and would be eliminated soon.

This was too fast, and the time was far lower than the court's estimate.

What worried Tuoba Zhu the most was that the God of Plague was eliminated so quickly, which did not really affect the Wei Dynasty. Instead, it would arouse the Wei Dynasty's anger and revenge.

He guessed that Wei would send troops to Jinxia soon.

There were only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Haiyan Pass, which made him feel insecure. The great defeat more than two years ago was still vivid in Tuoba Zhu's mind. If the Song Dynasty really launched a revenge, these soldiers and horses would not be able to do anything at all. Just can't hold it.

He had to explain the current situation to the Great Khan and ask him to increase his troops at Haiyan Pass.

Just when Tuoba Zhu was writing the secret letter.

Dong dong dong——

The earth is shaking.

The sudden strange sound sounded like someone beating a drum in the distance, or like animals galloping.

Tuoba Zhu suddenly woke up. As the supervisor of the Eastern Route Army that had previously attacked the Song Dynasty, he knew very well that this was the sound of the hooves of the war horses of the Song Dynasty, and now it was the Wei Dynasty.

The Wei Dynasty lacked war horses, especially well-bred war horses, so the mainstream war horses in the Wei Dynasty were bred from wild horses in Wutai County, Gaozhou. Therefore, the sound of the hoofbeats is very different from that of the Jinxia war horses.

Urgent but not chaotic, like beating a drum, there is no sound except the horse's hooves. Just this dull sound can make people feel the majesty of the elite teacher.

The hoofbeats of Wei's war horses were heard in his camp in Haiyan Pass. What does this mean?

Tuoba Zhu's expression changed drastically. He didn't even have time to put on his armor. He picked up the sword he had put aside and stood up and walked out of the tent.

The camp was already in chaos.

A soldier hurriedly ran in the direction of Tuoba Zhu.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Seeing Tuoba Zhu, he said anxiously: "Your Majesty, it's not good, the enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"

"Bang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a violent explosion was heard in the distance, and flames shot into the sky.

This voice was all too familiar to Tuoba Zhu.

It's the Wei Dynasty's strange thunder.

Wei launched a night attack.

Just when Tuoba Zhu stabilized his mind and prepared to go to the city wall to supervise the battle.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. The city gate was breached by the enemy and the enemy has entered the city."

A gray-faced soldier rolled and crawled in front of Tuoba Zhu, with the helmet on his head missing.

"What, the city gate is lost?!"

Tuoba Zhu looked shocked.

As the border gate of Jinxia, ​​the walls of Haiyan City are extremely high and thick, and the city gates are also very strong. There are not only three giant gates in the front, middle and back, but also behind each giant gate, there is a thousand-jin gate guarding it. It’s not strange. Thunder can blast it away.

As far as he knew, the defender of the Wei Dynasty in Yingcheng was a man named Zhao Liang. According to the intelligence, he was only a middle-grade warrior. However, with this strength, he could not break through the city gate at all.

As for the powerful men of the Wei Dynasty, they have not received any news of their arrival in Yingcheng.

How long had it passed since I heard the sound of horse hooves? How could the city gate be broken down so quickly?

"Quickly, wake everyone up and follow me to drive them out." Tuoba Zhu said in a deep voice.

He must guard this sea banquet.

The last time the Eastern Route Army was defeated, Gar took the blame. In addition to his royal status, the Great Khan did not blame him.

But this time, he was the commander of the garrison at Haiyan Pass.

If he loses Hai Yan Guan, he will definitely not have any good results when he goes back.

Secondly, although he could not figure out how the city gate was breached, he felt that this night attack was only held by Wei's border defenders and he could stop it.

As for where the cannons in Yingcheng came from.

After Chen Mo defeated Jin Xia's East Route Army, he left all the baggage at the border and did not take it back, including the red cannon.

It's just that there were no cannon shells at that time. When compound bows were issued to the border defenders, the cannon shells were also supplied.

After entering the city, Chen Mo held Tang Dao in his hand and rushed to the front. He smashed the horse-rejecting stakes in the city with one knife and said loudly: "Zhao Liang, you lead people to cooperate with the national army to attack the left wing."

"promise."

"promise."

Zhao Liang and Nalan Yi responded respectfully.

"Yuzhu, follow me closely."

Chen Mo rode his horse and led his troops to kill on the right wing.

This group of Jinxia defenders were not a mob. After the city gate was breached, they did not disperse or flee. Instead, they immediately organized a military formation in the city to resist.

There were too many people in the city and it was difficult to set up a posture. Jinxia immediately organized a military formation to resist. There were not many Wei troops attacking the city, and they thought they could drive out the Wei troops that entered the city first.

But they never expected that the emperor of a country would not only take the lead in attacking and entering the city, but also take the lead in charging.

Chen Mo rushed into Jinxia's military formation like a tiger. Their swords, spears and arrows could not break his defense at all, not to mention that there were guards on both sides. Chen Mo swung out a series of sword beams. In his eyes, these people were almost the same as the sugarcanes lined up for him to cut.

Wherever he passed, there were limbs all over the body, and no whole body was left. He quickly killed a bloody path and cleared a piece of open space to facilitate the entry of his own troops behind.

"Those who flee from the battlefield will be killed!"

"Don't do your best, you thief."

At this time, Tuoba Zhu led his troops to kill a Jinxia soldier who wanted to escape, and then organized the remaining soldiers to continue to fight the enemy. But when he arrived, his face suddenly changed.

"Chen Chenmo"

Tuoba Zhu recognized Chen Mo's face and the armor on his body. Although the light in the city was dim at night, he could still recognize him clearly under the illumination of the surrounding fire.

"Gulu."

Two years ago, he had seen the opponent's combat power and knew it deeply.

As soon as they met, he retreated and turned his horse's head.

He turned pale. He never thought why Chen Mo came. Now that the city gate has been broken, since it is Chen Mo's army, he will definitely not be able to defend Haiyan Pass.

But Chen Mo has already discovered him. The string of red numbers on his forehead is particularly obvious in the night.

"Protect Xiang Fei."

After Chen Mo said this to Sun Meng, he rode away, landed on the shoulder of a personal soldier, and gently borrowed the force, performed the Dragon Step, leaped into the air, and rushed towards Tuoba Zhu.

"Protect the prince."

When Chen Mo was in the air, he was a good target. The Jinxia personal soldiers who were protecting Tuoba Zhu took out arrows and shot Chen Mo.

However, these ordinary arrows could not even get close to Chen Mo.

In the blink of an eye, Chen Mo was close to Tuoba Zhu and landed on his horse.

With Tuoba Zhu's strength, he naturally sensed that Chen Mo was behind him, and knew that the opponent's strength would not give him time to turn around and resist, so he raised his hand and stabbed backward.

He also knew that this move could not cause harm to Chen Mo, so at the moment of stabbing, he didn't care whether he could stab or not.

At the moment of leaning back, his hand also patted the horse's back from behind, and his whole body flew into the air.
