Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 310 Father's resignation and son's filial piety in the Wang family

In the Majestic Temple, after Long Bian and Yelu Abri arrived, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

From time to time, patrolmen in leather robes and with long knives on their waists walked outside the Weiyan Temple, and the believers who should come to pray for blessings and burn incense at this time on weekdays also disappeared.

Since Lanzhou has the official position of the governor of Lanzhou, it naturally has a corresponding configuration.

This is a rule established decades ago. In Lanzhou city, the Wang family controlled it at first, and most of the patrolmen at that time were members of the Wang family.

The Shatuo Li family can now become the "talker" of the Wang family, and suppress the Jincheng Wang family so that they cannot move because they have mastered the patrols of Lanzhou City.

Most of these patrols are selected from the brave young men of the Shatuo Li family, and there are as many as a thousand people.

Near Lanzhou City, there are more than [-] people from the Shatuo Li family and the Qiang tribe allied with them.

In these semi-nomadic farming tribes, men can fight with swords and guns, and they can mobilize tens of thousands of people at any time.

This is the main support force for Shatuo Li's occupation of Lanzhou City, while the power of Jincheng Wang's was squeezed out to the east and south of Lanzhou.

The former is located in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in Lanzhou, and it is the essence that the Wang family of Jincheng can continue to grasp. The more than [-] mu of fertile land that Wang Zongheng is reluctant to part with is here.

The latter is close to Weizhou, and there are Han in-laws of the Jincheng Wang family nearby, so the two sides can hold together to keep warm.

In Lanzhou City, the Jincheng Wang family can use no more than 200 people to patrol. If it weren't for Wang Tinghan, the son of Wang Zongheng, who had a team of more than fifty soldiers from the Wang family, the Wang family might have been destroyed by Shatuo long ago. Mrs. Lee was killed.

At the same time, apart from the Li and Wang families, there are still some armed forces in Lanzhou City, that is, more than a hundred people from Su Lun's family and more than a hundred monks and soldiers from Weiyan Temple.

Su Lun's family is based in the west of Lanzhou, which is close to Shanzhou. There are not many monk fields in Weiyan Temple.

. . . .

At this moment, Master Dinghui, the abbot of Weiyan Temple, felt that he was numb. He felt that he had fallen into a series of traps.

This Fawang Zhang, who came back from Tianzhu, first used a huge amount of Buddhist treasures and Buddhist scriptures to get the temple in Longyou, Hexi, to recognize him as a Fawang.

Then let them help with small things, such as calling a few small tribal leaders who believe in Buddhism, or assisting in holding a puja or something.

Then there is the thing of throwing silver tickets, connecting the major temples with silver coins.

Slowly until now, the monks and soldiers from the major temples have started to be used.

Master Dinghui really wanted to refuse, but he found that if he refused, the prospect of him as the presiding master and Weiyan Temple might not be good.

This is not good physically, because in the hands of the head monk of the Dayun Temple sitting in front of him, he is holding a thing that is said to be the truth of Buddhism and can emit the lion's roar of the highest esoteric meaning of Buddhism.

Chanting sutras and chanting, master Lion Roar Dinghui is very familiar with it, because he is good at this method of chanting.

He is also familiar with the lion's roar in the shape of a wooden stick opposite, and he also knows that as long as a spark flashes, people around can go to see the Buddha.

Apart from this physical threat, Master Dinghui suddenly realized that he also had to follow in Zhang Fawang's footsteps.

Because it was impossible for him to explicitly oppose the Jade Girl Treasure of Buddhism, the governor of Hexi ordered Master Longbian and others to enter the Weiyan Temple.

As soon as they entered the Weiyan Temple, thirty Liangzhou warriors, 70 people Suzhou Longjia warriors, and fifty Khitan warriors followed.

As soon as these 50 people entered the city, they were immediately spotted by the Li family patrols outside.

This is really a dumb person who suffers from eating Coptis chinensis and cannot tell. If Master Dinghui went out at this time and said that everything about King Zhang Fawang of Liangzhou has nothing to do with them, not to mention that it is difficult to explain to Buddhist colleagues, even the Li family would not believe it.

Seeing that Master Dinghui in front of him didn't say anything or quit, Wen Chongle understood.

It's hard to make a choice, so just help him make the choice. Wen Chongle immediately bowed his hands to Master Dinghui decisively.

"Since the master has no objections, please hand over the monks of your temple to your subordinates. Tomorrow Yinshi will hear three cannon shots, and we will open the west gate to welcome the army of the King of Fa into the city."

Master Dinghui nodded slowly, made a handprint, and proclaimed the Buddha's name.

"Namo Wheel-Turning Holy King Bodhisattva, everything is in accordance with the Bodhisattva's Dharma!"

Sitting on the left side of Master Dinghui, Long Bianda, the capital monk in Hexi, was already used to this, and he didn't even have any embarrassment on his face. For Hexi, it was just basic practice.

Only Yeluhe and Mu Shunyi were greatly surprised that such a famous eminent monk who presided over a Buddhist temple could not resist the order of a dharma king who only occupied Liangzhou.

And it only needs to send a general to force the eminent monk to submit.

This is extremely rare even in the Central Plains, not to mention among the Khitan tribes.

Yeluhe seemed to have found a way to reach the sky. What his father wanted to do was to go back to Khitan and take back their tribe. It seemed that he could rely on the power of King Zhang Fa!
This is really not a fantasy. The Khitan Liao Kingdom in history was destroyed by worshiping the Buddha too much. The worship of Buddha can be said to be something engraved in the genes of the Khitan people.

At the beginning, Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, insisted on ranking Confucius before Buddha in order to attract Han people to join him, but there was a lot of trouble.

Even Yelu Abaoji, the founder of the country, can't suppress the worship of Buddha in Khitan, let alone now, the fate of Buddha in Khitan is a tangible strength.

At this time, Yeluhe even felt a little respect for the wheeling dharma king who was far away in Liangzhou. He arched his hands and looked at Wen Chongle.

"General Wen, some of the Khitan warriors who escorted Jade Girl Bao to the west are also followers of Buddha. They are all skilled in spears, sticks, bows and horses. We are also willing to help King Zhang Fa open Lanzhou City."

Wen Chongle glanced at Yeluhe, these Khitan warriors had calluses on their tiger's mouths, they were tall, their arms were long, they could handle spears and sticks, they could ride and shoot, they must be cheating, or they just don't know how effective they are in combat.

But in any case, it is always good to fight with more than 50 people.

"I am very grateful to have Mr. Yelu Lang's help!"

. . . .

Lanzhou City was built along the Yellow River. It was called Jincheng in ancient times.

When the Tang Dynasty did not occupy Shanzhou, where the Longyou Jiedushi was located, Lanzhou was the second largest military town in Longyou, Hexi, after Liangzhou.

However, after the Tang Dynasty occupied Shanzhou, which was more important in terrain, and the military front pointed directly at Dafeichuan, Lanzhou's military status declined compared to that of the Han Dynasty.

But even after so many years of neglect and decline in status, Lanzhou City is still one of the few big cities in Hexi.

Ma Shacai led 200 people. After crossing the Yema Ridge, he fell behind and lost more than [-] people. Now he has more than [-] people left.

Braving the wind and snow and running thousands of miles, it is easy to say, and it sounds like a kind of bloody romance, but it is quite difficult to do.

You must know that the [-] tribesmen selected this time are all the elite of the six tribes, and the rest of the soldiers selected from Yucheng Town and Hanhai are even more extraordinary than ordinary soldiers.

But among the 500 people, after a long-distance raid of more than [-] miles, the number of those left behind is still more than a terrible one-third.

After getting off the Yema Ridge, it is impossible to hide your whereabouts again, because the valley where the Yellow River flows through Lanzhou is extremely rich and vulgar, and it is the essence of Lanzhou. The Shatuo Li family, and other Qiang tribesmen.

So when it was about ten miles away from Lanzhou, the more than [-] people led by Ma Shacai had already been targeted.

At the beginning, those Lanzhou Yanmo people who rode pony horses and held inferior swords dared to spy on them from a distance on horseback.

But after waiting for the horse to kill, he personally led the elite cavalry of Hanhai Town, approaching quickly with the explosive and powerful folding-eared horse, and after killing dozens of them, these people did not dare to come up to peep.

But they are still gathering their troops and following this lone Guiyi army from a distance of two or three miles.

Ma Shacai snorted coldly, ignored them, and led his troops directly to Lanzhou.

And when the news came that Ma Shacai led his army to Lanzhou City, the atmosphere in Lanzhou City became more dignified, and there were no people on the street in an instant.

Wang Zongheng and his son Wang Tinghan did not expect that the Guiyi Army could actually cross Hongchiling in winter and suddenly reach the city of Lanzhou.

When they did this, it could be regarded as yellow mud falling off the crotch, and it was either shit or shit.

The trembling Wang Zongheng looked at his second son, Wang Tinghan, who was in full armor, "Erlang, send someone to submit a letter outside the Lijiabao as soon as possible. We really didn't want to hook up with Zhang Sikong in Liangzhou. Please don't misunderstand the patriarch Li."

Wang Tinghan looked at the two brothers around him speechlessly. For the first time, he felt that his father was old.

How can you still speak clearly now?Whether it is true or not, the Li family cannot believe it.

"Uncle! Second brother! The Li family summoned all the patrols and went to the Weiyan Temple!"

At this time, a child of the Wang family ran in from the door, and Wang Tinghan, who was still thinking about how to veto his father's opinion, was overjoyed.

The Li family is looking for death. If they leave the city immediately, they can gather the tribesmen and fight and talk with the Liangzhou warriors. At worst, they can go back to the mountains.

But if we go to Weiyan Temple now, if we can't attack it in a short time, then everything will be over.

"Erlang! Summon our royal family patrol, and we will also go to Wei."

"Your Excellency is wise! Let's also go to help Weiyan Temple and kill the white-eyed wolf of the Li family, right now!"

Before Wang Zongheng finished speaking, Wang Tinghan interrupted his father's words at once. He didn't know if it was excitement or something else, but he was trembling a little.

"You're blind..." Wang Zongheng was annoyed and impatient, what the hell is he yelling before he's finished listening?What he wanted to say was to summon the Wang family's patrol soldiers to visit the Weiyan Temple, and to help whoever had the upper hand.

"Brother! Father agreed, he asked you to give the order!"

Unfortunately, Wang Zongheng didn't say anything, and the fifth son Wang Tingbi also shouted excitedly, interrupting his words directly.

Now, no matter how slow Wang Zongheng's reaction was, he knew what it meant. He opened his mouth and looked at the two Nizi who were blushing excitedly.

For a long while, in the awkward silence, Wang Zongheng stroked his chest lightly, and waved his hand feebly.
