Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 648: Daihai Temple

Henan Road.

To the east of Luoyang, Xingyang, Hulaoguan City by the Sishui River.

Several Qingqi came galloping.

On the city of Guan, Duke Wei and Li Mi caressed the battlements of the pass, looking to the west, where is Luoyang, the Eastern Capital.At this moment, the faint king Yang Guang is in that city.

"Teacher, Zhang Xutuo has led his troops here according to the order."

Wang Bodang strode up to the pass city in his iron armor, with a bit of worry and urgency in his voice.

"Bodang, be calm. Whenever you encounter a major event, you must be calm. For a general, there is thunder in his chest and his face is as flat as a lake."

Li Mi turned around slowly, reached out and patted the student on the shoulder. "How many people did Zhang Xutuo bring?"

"Ten thousand Henan soldiers."

"Only 1 people? Didn't Luoyang send him any more people?" Li Mi asked.

"Only 1 people are the King Qin's army brought to Hedong by Zhang Xutuo."

Li Mi laughed out loud when he heard this.

"1 people, 1 people dare to attack me?" Li Mi laughed louder and louder, and at the end he couldn't help but shed tears.

"Teacher, the man surnamed Zhang has been guarding Henan for many years. He is ruthless and fierce."

"No matter how fierce it is, he has only 40 soldiers, while we have [-]."

Uncle Wang thought to himself, the 40 of us are patched together from various sources, and even the 5 to [-] horses claimed by many heroes who came to the alliance are actually including their families, women and children.

"Zhang Xutuo is brave, but he is brave without strategy. He has won many battles in Henan, and the soldiers under his command have always looked down on our rebels. Now they dare to attack with only 1 horses. This is the opportunity God gave us to destroy them. Besides, this person has a bit of a woman's benevolence."

Li Mi smiled, "Compared with his student Luo Cheng, Zhang Xutuo is a lot older, and the difference is too far. If it is Luo Cheng who comes, I have to avoid it, but since Zhang Xutuo Come to die, then I will fulfill him, just borrow his head to boost the morale of our army."

At that moment, Li Mi summoned a group of Wei army generals to make arrangements.

"Remember, defeat is not allowed to win."

The one who received the task patted his chest and said, "I dare not say that I won the battle, but I am very good at defeating the battle!"

"Wei Gong, what about Luokou Warehouse? There is still a lot of food there. If we withdraw, don't we want the officers and soldiers to seize the opportunity?" someone asked.

"It doesn't matter, the grain in the Luokou warehouse will not run away. If Zhang Xutuo moves several million stone grains, how long will he have to move the [-] people? Stay there, and when I kill Zhang Xutuo, the grain will naturally remain. our."

All the generals and princes here are basically bandits from the Central Plains, none of them are afraid of Zhang Xutuo.Hearing his name, the bones are sour.

But seeing how confident Wei Gong and Li Mi looked, everyone was skeptical.

Luokou warehouse.

Also known as Xingluo Cang, the largest granary in the world that can store 400 million shi of grain is located on the bank of the Luo River in Gongxian County, a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and very close to the Yellow River and the canal.

It has great convenience advantages for transshipment and grain storage.

After Zhang Xutuo, the recruiter of Henan Province, led [-] Henan government soldiers out of Luoyang, they killed them all the way.

His first goal is to recapture Fuluocang.

At this time, all the Henan soldiers under Zhang Xutuo's command were full of anger.King Qianliqin went north to Taiyuan, but he ran for nothing, didn't get any rewards, and had to rush back again.

As a result, the family was beaten by Li Mi and other thieves, and even many soldiers' homes were in Xingyang, Huaiyang and other counties, which made them even more annoyed.

Xingluo Cangcheng, seeing Henan soldiers coming, the rebels in the city hurried out of the city to fight.

There are quite a few rebels, about [-] people, but the banner they fight is the word Wu.

A scout told Zhang Xutuo.

The thief on the opposite side is called Dahan Thief, and the head of the thief calls himself the King of Garuda, with a portion of [-].

"What's the origin?" Zhang Xutuo asked.

"Zhu Can, the leader of the bandit, was originally an official in Huaixi Chengfu County. Before that, he accompanied the army to conquer Li Mi, but he was defeated. He gathered a crowd and fled to rebel. He called himself the Dahan Bandit, and called himself the King of Jialou Luo. Later, he simply went to vote. Li Mi was granted the title of Duke Wu.

This thief is the most bloodthirsty. Wherever he passes, he plunders everything. He also eats people and eats babies. It is said that he likes to gouge out the hearts and livers of babies and fry them with wine. He is inhuman! "

Zhang Xutuo stared angrily.

"Such a devoid of human nature beast, kill, inconvenient mercy!"

The army launched an attack.

Zhu Can led the army to fight, but within a short time of the battle, his Koda Han bandits were defeated, and Zhu Can took the lead in fleeing immediately.

The Henan army chased and killed countless thieves all the way behind.

Zhu Can was only concerned with running away all the way, and he didn't care about the life and death of the people behind him, so he fled to Hulao Pass in one breath.

When it was closed, it was discovered that there was no one in the Hulao, and Li Mi ran away with his troops.

Zhu Can yelled at Li Mi, and then continued to run.

Zhang Xutuo led his troops to chase all the way and beheaded thousands of people. He was also very surprised when he saw the Hulao Pass with its doors wide open.

"Li Mi's dog thief, known as 40, but in the end he was afraid of the commander-in-chief's reputation, so he fled after hearing the news, cowardly and incompetent."

Jia Wuben laughed and scolded Li Mi.

After some inspection, it was found that the rebels had fled in a hurry, and there were still many things left in the Guancheng that were too late to take away.

"Keep chasing! They won't run far!"

Although there were only 40 people, Zhang Xutuo and Jia Wuben did not pay attention to Li Mi's so-called 10,000 people.In the past few years, the Henan soldiers and horses they led have defeated tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and [-]+ bandits.

The more thieves shouted, the more mob and useless they were, and they would be defeated in one blow.

Within a day, the two important targets of Xingluocang and Hulaoguan were recovered consecutively, and the Henan soldiers were also refreshed.

They took advantage of the victory and pursued, all the way to Xingyang City.

Under the city of Xingyang, Zhang Xutuo's army caught up with the rebels who had not yet come and retreated, a rebel army of about 5 people.

It was still just an impact, and the 5-strong rebel army collapsed and fled in all directions.

Zhang Xutuo led his army in pursuit, and chased along the Suo River to the edge of the canal.

At this time, more rebels could already be seen ahead, carrying all kinds of looted money, silk and food, and they were leaving in a panic.

Some scouts even discovered the banners of Wang Bodang and Li Mi.

"It seems that the thief leader is ahead, chase after!"

Jia Wuben, who was the striker, heard that he saw Li Mi's banner, so he didn't care about the fatigue of the day's pursuit, and immediately ordered to continue the pursuit.

Li Mi's flag led Jia Wuben to chase him all the time, until he reached a temple and found that the flag was gone.

"Daihai Temple?"

Jia Wuben raised his head and found that he had unknowingly chased him to Daihai Temple beside the Xingyang Canal. This is the famous Guanyin Temple in Xingyang, which was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty and had a great reputation.Jia Wuben also came here before, "This thief runs fast, but even if you escape to Daihai Temple, Avalokitesvara will not be able to protect you!"

According to folklore, Avalokitesvara traveled north to cross people and moved to Xingyang. From then on, the moat of Xingyang began to rise and fall with the tide of the sea. Later, Avalokitesvara Dojo was built and named Daihai Temple, meaning to replace the South China Sea and become the second hometown of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

"It's a sin to be a battlefield in a quiet place of Buddhism. After I capture Li Mi and destroy the rebels, I will burn incense to the Bodhisattva to accompany the crime." Jia Wuben recited, and then led his troops to chase after him.

Suddenly there was a sound of horns and drums, and then there were shouts of killing all around the sky. Wang Bodang and other Wei troops rushed out from all directions and surrounded Jia Wuben and his subordinates.

"Oh, it's not good, I've been ambushed by dogs and thieves!" Jia Wuben yelled inwardly, trying to break out of the siege, but found that the siege was surrounded and he was already deeply trapped.
