Shaolin Bajue

Chapter 795 The Eve of the Great War
In the room, Fang Jianming lifted Hua Tianyun from the stretcher, sat cross-legged behind him, and pressed his palms against his body.In order to save Hua Tianyun, Fang Jianming must spare no effort at all costs. He channeled all the internal energy in his body, and poured super-strength true energy into Hua Tianyun's body continuously.

After a stick of incense, Fang Jianming saw sweat on his forehead, and thick white air came out of him, covering the two of them in a short while.Soon, the room was full of white gas, and nothing could be seen.

……

The three beggars stood guard outside the house for a while, when the sword god came, and asked about Hua Tianyun, the three beggars couldn't explain why.It turned out that the Three Beggars originally lived in a contact point of the Beggar Clan in the suburbs of Beijing. At night, they heard a report from their disciples, saying that the leader of the Clan was leaning outside the gate, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.The three beggars hurried out and carried Hua Tianyun in. The three beggars couldn't heal Hua Tianyun's internal injuries, so they hurriedly carried him to find Fang Jianming.

"According to the disciple who discovered the gang leader, he doesn't know when the gang leader leaned outside the gate." Hong San added as if to add after finishing his narration.

The sword god thought for a while, and said: "The martial arts of the leader of Hua League, even the old man can't beat him. Who has such a great ability to beat him to serious injuries. Could it be the Great Celestial Master Arislan of Wala?"

Hong Sandao: "Senior, do you want to go in and have a look? The injury of our leader is too serious. You may have a way."

Sword God shook his head and said: "You guys are too flattering to the old man, if you can't do anything about Ming'er, it will be useless for the old man to go in."

Hearing that he valued Fang Jianming so much, the three beggars did not dare to say anything, and waited anxiously.

The sword god frowned and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and pushed the door open, and stepped in, followed by the three beggars, only to see that Fang Jianming's face was a little pale, he reached out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and stood up slowly.

Dao Shen sent out a burst of true energy, pierced into Fang Jianming's body, and said, "Son, I know you care about Leader Hua, but you also need to take care of your body."

With the help of the sword god, Fang Jianming's weak body regained vigor immediately, and said, "Father, take a quick look at Brother Hua."

Dao Shen nodded, squatted down, stretched out his hand to feel Hua Tianyun's pulse, and said with joy on his face, "My child, your magical skills are indeed miraculous. He is no longer in serious trouble." He opened his mouth, thinking about what to say, bowed his head and said, "Leader Hua, Lord Hua."

Hua Tianyun opened his mouth again, without opening his eyes, and said slightly: "Sister... sister."

Dao Shen was stunned, and said: "Sister? Haha, the old man has become a woman."

Fang Jian knew that he was joking, so he knelt down and said, "Brother Hua."

Seeing that Fang Jianming was able to speak, the three beggars shouted in surprise, "Master, you have finally woken up. You have always scared us." Excited, the three couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

The sword god reprimanded: "Don't yell, go and pour a bowl of water."

The three beggars heard this, and said yes repeatedly, scrambling to pour water.After a while, Hua Tianyun called "Sister" in his mouth, slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw Fang Jianming and Dao Shen, his face froze.

Fang Jianming said: "Brother Hua, how do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"

Hua Tianyun blinked his eyes before he was sure that he was not in hell. After waking up, his mouth felt dry and he said, "Water, pour me a bowl of water."

Hong San was holding a large bowl of water. Hearing this, he handed the large bowl to Fang Jianming. Hua Tianyun wanted to reach out to take it, but when he moved his arm, he broke out in a cold sweat from the pain.

Dao Shen said: "Don't move, let tomorrow come. If there is anything, we will talk about it later."

Hua Tianyun couldn't help it, seeing Fang Jianming put the mouth of the bowl to his mouth, he opened his mouth and drank the whole bowl of water.Strange to say, after Hua Tianyun drank the water and rested for a while, his whole body no longer hurt as before, and he also felt stronger.

Wu Si moved a chair and asked Hua Tianyun to sit down. Hua Tianyun tried to use his kung fu, and found that he had the energy of his dantian. He wondered, "Isn't my kung fu useless?"

The sword god smiled and said: "With Ming'er here, don't say your martial arts are useless, even if your life is in danger, he can save you from the king of hell."

After hearing this, Hua Tianyun turned his head to Jianming and said, "Jianming, thank you."

Fang Jianming said: "Brother Hua, why are you so polite, this is what I should do."

Originally, Hua Tianyun should be very happy when he realized that he was fine, but judging from the expression on his face, he was not happy at all.

Seeing his sad face, he sighed and said: "She didn't kill me, and she didn't arrest me to meet Yexian, I don't know whether to hate her or like her."

The five people felt strange listening to him talking to himself, and the sword god asked, "Who is she?"

Hua Tianyun smiled wryly, and said: "Who else is there, Yang Liuyue, the owner of Yanyu Tower, my good girl."

The sword god was thoughtful, and said: "Could it be that she sent you to the capital?"

Hua Tianyun said: "Besides her, this junior really can't think of anyone else." Thinking of something, his face changed drastically, and he said: "Quick, hurry up and find Master Yu, Zijing Pass has been breached by Oara."

As soon as these words came out, the five people were shocked.The Bauhinia Pass, known as the "No. [-] Pass in the capital", is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists. How could it be broken by Oala in just a few days up.

Seeing that the five people refused to believe it, Hua Tianyun hurriedly said: "Hong San, Ge Yue, Wu Si, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up to the Lord Yu's mansion, and tell the Lord about the breach of the Zijing Pass."

After hearing this, the three beggars turned around and flew away.

Dao Shen said: "What is going on?"

Fang Jianming said: "That's right, Brother Hua, this confuses me."

Hua Tianyun said: "Don't say you don't believe it, even I can't believe it, but it is indeed the truth." After a pause, he continued: "I think you have already known about the matter of raising troops to commit crimes first. I underestimated Yexian, I underestimated Ari Silan, thinking that as long as Datong was defended, Wala would not be able to get in. Unexpectedly, during the few days I was in Datong, I also set up a siege outside the city first. , It’s just a decoration, Wala’s real main force has already detoured south and hit the Zijing Pass, when I found out that I was deceived and rushed to the Zijing Pass with five elders of my clan, I was powerless to recover.”

Fang Jianming said: "I remember that the generals guarding the Bauhinia Pass are the right deputy imperial envoy Sun Xiang and the imperial envoy Han Qing. Listen to Sir Yu, these two are rare talents, so Sun Xiang was recommended by Sir Yu. "

Hua Tianyun said: "They are indeed good officials of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately, they all died in the battle at Zijing Pass. After the main force of Wala arrived at Zijing Pass, they also went all out to tackle the key first. Han Qing led the army to fight and died in battle. Sun Xiang knew that the Wala cavalry were ferocious. The hateful thing is that the traitor Xining has a map in his hand. He is well aware of the reality of the Zijingguan area. He led a group of highly skilled Oirat warriors across the mountains and attacked the Zijingguan. .”

Fang Jianming asked: "Brother Hua, your martial arts are so strong that even if you can't defend the Bauhinia Pass, you can still retreat safely. How did this happen?"

Hua Tianyun said: "I fought hard for a long time with the five elders and Oirat masters, seeing that the Zijing Pass could not be defended, so I covered the five of them to leave safely, and asked the five to go to Juyong Pass to meet Shiming and the others, while I turned back to Zijing Pass. Thinking that even if you die in battle, you have to defend the Bauhinia Pass."

Sword God heard this and said, "Confused."

Hua Tianyun said: "Senior taught you the lesson, but I really thought so at the time. When I turned back to Zijing Pass, Sun Xiang had already died in battle. At the end of the battle, I was the only one left, surrounded by the Oirat Army. Seeing that I was trapped and asked me to surrender, how could I agree, he was furious and ordered Oirat masters to attack me in turn."

Hearing this, the sword god couldn't help saying: "Confused."

Hua Tianyun said: "The younger generation was really stupid at the time, thinking that killing one more Mongolian soldier would bring me a bit of safety. After a long battle, my internal energy was exhausted. When I wanted to leave, I was stopped by Ari Silan gone."

Dao Shen said: "Arisilan's magic lute, even when you are in full bloom, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable, not to mention that you are fighting him when your internal energy is exhausted."

Hua Tianyun nodded and said: "Yes, that Arisilan's magic pipa is really powerful. After he returned to Wala to practice for more than a month, his martial arts improved to a higher level. At that time, I didn't even catch his three moves. , was severely injured by the magic pipa, and in the crisis, I forcibly performed the last move in the record of breaking the sky, forced him to retreat, and escaped from the encirclement."

Fang Jianming heard him speak concisely, but what he thought in his mind was a tragic scene.Inside and outside a majestic pass, the Oirat army and the Ming army were full. The Ming army fought hard, but in the end they were outnumbered and the whole army was wiped out.Corpses were all over the ground, blood stained the city gate, the strong wind blew wildly, whistling, rolled up the bloody yellow sand, and the world was filled with chills.

……

"I fled for a long distance, and suddenly I felt weak all over, and the energy in my dantian was gone, and I knew that my martial arts had been useless. After half a mile, I fell on the side of the road, in a daze, when I heard the sound of horseshoes approaching, I thought It was Wala's pursuers who had arrived, and fainted from shock. When I woke up, the sky was full of stars, and I found myself lying on a horse, and the rider...was actually her."

When Hua Tianyun said this, tears filled his eyes, he calmed down a little, and said: "I saw it was her, and asked her where she was going to take me. If you want to escort me to see Ye first. I don’t blame her, she is a Mongolian, and she is right to do so from her standpoint. I knew I was going to die soon, and I really wanted to talk to her more, but at that time, my heart Even though there were thousands of words, she couldn't even utter a word. She suddenly asked me if I would like to live in seclusion with her in the mountains at this time. I said that unless the war ended, it was impossible for me and her to be together. She was angry He threw me off the horse, and the moment I passed out, I realized that I might not be able to see her from now on."

The affair between him and Yang Liuyue, if it were another person, might not be able to tell outsiders, but Hua Tianyun is a virtuous man, with an open heart, and feels that there is nothing wrong with telling others, so if he narrates it, it is true that it is sincere After hearing this, Fang Jianming and Dao Shen didn't find it ridiculous.

The sword god sighed, and said: "You love each other, but your identities are hostile. God can play tricks on people."

Fang Jianming said in grief and indignation: "War! Why is there a war!" With a palm, he cut off a corner of the square table like tofu.He expended a lot of internal energy to heal Hua Tianyun. Although the sword god sent him a wave of true energy, the vitality recovered so quickly, neither the sword god nor Hua Tianyun could have expected it, and they couldn't help looking at him in surprise.

The next day, Yu Qian held a military meeting. The participants were all ministers of civil and military affairs. Fang Jianming attended the meeting as a non-voting delegate.

Yu Qian looked solemnly, glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "Zijingguan and Baiyangkou fell, I don't need to say, everyone understands what it means. General Shi, how many soldiers are there in the current capital."

Shi Heng stood up and said, "My lord, there are a total of 22."

Yu Qian asked again: "How many soldiers and horses does Wala have?"

Shi Heng said: "At least 12."

Yu Qian said: "Okay, General Shi, please sit down first." After a pause, he said: "The enemy's vanguard has approached the capital, and the war is about to break out. I don't know if you have any good strategies to retreat from the enemy."

A minister said: "Beyond the nine gates, there are mostly houses. To avoid being used by the Oirat army, they should be destroyed in time."

Another minister said: "Wala are all cavalry. Our army should dig deep trenches outside the city to stop the enemy cavalry."

Shi Heng thought for a while, and said: "Although our army has the advantage in numbers, we have to divide our troops to guard the nine gates. In comparison, the enemy is strong and we are weak. The subordinate officer suggested that the whole army retreat to the capital, fortify the walls and clear the fields, and wait until the Oirat army is exhausted. , the whole army goes out of the city to fight back, and it will surely win."

This suggestion was immediately approved by many ministers, and everyone turned their attention to Yu Qian, but Yu Qian turned his head to look at Fang Jianming and asked, "What good strategy does Lord Hou have?"

Fang Jianming pondered: "The Oala iron cavalry is extremely ferocious. Since the start of the war with our country, they have almost won all victories. If we avoid fighting, I am afraid that it will encourage the arrogance of Oara. However, as General Shi said, in terms of the current situation, we The army is weaker than Wala, and it is a good strategy to stick to it. No matter what, as long as you give the order, even if you are going through fire and water, Fang will not hesitate."

After hearing this, many ministers said: "My lord, please give an order."

Yu Qian only felt his blood boil, thought for a while, and said: "I also came here first, threatening to seize the capital and restore the Yuan Dynasty. At this time, if we retreat again, it will do more harm than good to our army. The people in the capital They are looking at us, the people of the world are looking at us, what we are carrying is not just a city, but the whole world." At this point, he paused, his eyes were like torches, and he said sharply: "I decide, the whole world The army is lined up outside the nine gates to meet the enemy!"

No one objected, because now Yu Qian is not just the Minister of the Ministry of War, he is now the pillar of the capital and the pillar of Ming Dynasty.

Then, Yu Qian issued another order, saying: "I will let Jin Yiwei patrol the city, and if any soldiers are found out of the city to fight against the enemy, no matter who it is, they will be killed."

As soon as this remark came out, the audience was shocked.

"General Stone."

"The subordinate is here."

"From now on, you are the commander-in-chief of the capital, and all soldiers, big and small, are under your control."

"The next officer listens to the order."

Yu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "Tao Jin!"

A minister stood up and said, "Yes."

Yu Qian said: "You guard the Anding Gate."

Afterwards, Yu Qian assigned the guards of each gate.Dongzhi Gate is Liu An, Chaoyang Gate is Zhu Ying, Xizhi Gate is Liu Ju, Fucheng Gate is Gu Xingzu, Zhengyang Gate is Li Duan, Chongwen Gate is Liu Dexin, Xuanwu Gate is Yang Jie, Desheng Gate is Shi Heng.

After the assignment, Yu Qian took a deep breath and said, "I will go outside Desheng Gate and personally supervise the battle."

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they all said: "No."

Yu Qian said sharply: "Why not?" Without waiting for others to persuade him, he ordered: "After the war, all nine gates will be closed, and the gates will not be opened during the war. Anyone who violates the law will be executed! When facing the enemy, those who retreat first regardless of the army will be killed." Kill! The army ignores the generals who retreat first, and the rear team will kill the front team. Anyone who violates the military order will be killed!"

Including Fang Jianming, everyone was stunned. They never expected that Yu Qian would issue these orders.These orders are simply desperate.But then again, on the battlefield, who is not risking their lives?When the two armies fight, the brave wins, and the brave, even if they don't want their lives, there is nothing invincible.
