Chapter 499 502 Three Realms Idealism
Chen Laomou frowned and said, "We have less than 5000 troops, and if we look at one, we will lose the other. If we can beat Li Shimin's army, we will not be able to divide our troops to deal with Qu Tutong. Even if we use all our troops, I'm afraid Still unable to defeat Qu Tutong, whose military strength is more than three times ours, how can the young commander be so confident?"

Shen Mu said in a deep voice, "How many days are you sure you will stay here?"

Ma Chang responded decisively: "Li Shimin never wants to capture the cottage."

Wang Xuanshu smiled wryly and said: "That means we can only guard for 30 to [-] days, and we have to kill horses to wrap our stomachs."

Shen Mu laughed and said: "That will be successful! I will not use every single soldier in this village to let Qu Tutong block the South Road in his own way; Go to join Lao Ba and his reinforcements, and then take firearms to attack Qu Tutong's troops from behind. Since I know the route of Lao Ba's arrival, and I have Wuming as my eye in the sky, everything will go smoothly."

Everyone was refreshed when they heard this, it's not because they couldn't think of it, but because no one knows the number and power of firearms like Shen Mu.

Chen Laomou was overjoyed and said: "If Qu Tutong's army can be severely damaged, maybe there is a chance to take advantage of the momentum and capture Xiangyang."

Shen Mu happily said: "You have a good plan, I have a wall ladder. I have suffered the most painful and sad defeat, and I will never allow history to repeat itself."

Turning to Chen Laomou, he said: "Chen Gong immediately sent people to strengthen the defense at the exit of the South Road, and asked people to keep a close eye on the situation on that side. If there is an opportunity to take advantage of Qu Tutong's attack, immediately divide the troops and attack the enemy as much as possible. A rout of troops. I can predict that this is not a war, but a brutal massacre. The winner takes the king, there is nothing to say about such things, and the war is a ruthless game to see who gets hurt more."

Chen Laomou cheered up: "Young commander, don't worry, everything is on me."

Shen Mu lowered his voice and said: "Little He'er's background is pitiful, so she disguised herself as a boy and pretended to be her bastard. You must not reveal her daughter's identity, of course you must take special care of her."

Wang Xuanshu suddenly said: "No wonder she refused to let us search, I'm really sorry."

Chen Laomou smiled strangely: "If she is a girl, she should be born slender and beautiful."

Ma Chang joked: "Mr. Xuanshu is about the same age as her, and it is most suitable for him to take care of her."

Wang Xuanshu blushed slightly, not knowing how to deal with it.

Shen Mu laughed and said: "This is called the endless road, and it is also a life-threatening situation. There is only a thin line between victory and defeat. This is left to the big brothers. The most important thing is to bluff, so that Li Shimin thinks that I am still sitting in the cottage. among."

Chen Laomou laughed and said, "Couldn't there be one out of thousands of people who can pretend to be a young marshal? As long as the fake young marshal gesticulates on the upper stage, he can fool Li Shimin, and I will take care of it."

Shen Mu stood up and said: "Even if Li Shimin can come here tomorrow, he will never attack in a few days. By then, Qu Tutong's army will be defeated long ago! Ha!"

All the generals responded in a loud voice.

Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang sent Shen Mu and Wuming to the exit at the southern end of Tiancheng Gorge, and Ba Yegang sighed: "Young Marshal and Wang Shichong are two completely different people. They always take the lead on the battlefield and charge forward."

Bing Yuanzhen said: "Young Marshal is different from anyone else. Even in the period when Duke Mi was rising and he was a corporal, he couldn't be compared with the Young Marshal's unassuming, open-hearted heart to us."

Shen Mu put his hands on the shoulders of the two of them, and said with a smile: "A brother for a day, a brother for the rest of his life, we share blessings and suffer together. We work hard for each other, and this is the true brother who treats each other with sincerity."

Both Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang showed moved expressions. Shen Mu is not a person who talks in plain language, and the most dangerous tasks are all contracted by him, so that the people below can enjoy the benefits.

Ba Yegang said with emotion: "That day when he was intercepted by the Tang army outside the mountainous area in the northwest of Yique, the young commander turned around to block the pursuers for Ye Gang, regardless of his life and death. , and vowed to follow the young commander to the end. It is Ye Gang's blessing to meet a benevolent and righteous master like the young commander."

Bing Yuan really felt the same way: "The final victory must belong to us."

At this time, the three of them came to the wooden gate at the exit of the South Gorge, and the ten young commanders guarding the gate heard Bing Yuanzhen's words and shouted in unison: "The final victory belongs to us."

Shen Mu looked up to the sky with a long smile, let go of the hands on the shoulders of the two, and said: "The more difficult and difficult the situation, the more majestic our young commander will be, the sweeter the fruit of victory will be, and the true colors of life will be brought into play. Let’s encourage each other.”

All the soldiers echoed loudly, and the sound moved the gorge.

Shen Mu greeted the subordinates guarding the exit again, every word he said came from the heart, which was touching.Asked about the situation outside the exit, the team leader replied respectfully: "According to Mr. Mou's instructions, the subordinates sent spies to watch the high place outside, but there was no movement."

Shen Mu said: "The situation has changed, the Mou Guild will strengthen the defense project here, you immediately call back the brothers outside, as long as you guard the exit."

The squad leader issued an order, and his subordinates led the order to blow the horn and call the whistle to explore back to the gorge.

Shen Mu released Wuming, observed the distance from a high altitude, nodded and said: "Qu Tutong didn't send anyone to scout the way first, because he didn't want to startle the snake and arouse our awareness, but there must be someone from him in the distance that we can't see We are closely monitoring, as long as we have any signs of slipping from this side, we will be ambushed and attacked by them."

Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang nodded in agreement, Qu Tutong was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty, since he joined the Tang Dynasty, he has made outstanding achievements and made great achievements many times.

Shen Mu stared at Wuming who turned into a black spot on the night sky, and said: "There are enemies fifty miles to the west, and there are quite a few of them. They should be Qu Tutong's vanguard. According to the route, they can arrive at any time tomorrow afternoon. Don't underestimate the enemy. .”

Bing Yuan really said: "Don't worry, young commander."

Shen Mu looked around the situation of the gorge, and found that the widest part of the mountain path at the exit was only about three feet, and the narrowest part was less than two feet, and said in a deep voice: "Although the gorge is not easy to attack, it is also not easy to attack the enemies outside. Time does not allow us to set up strongholds with sufficient fortifications outside, so we can only retreat and work hard inside the gorge."

Bing Yuanzhen said: "We have a lot of wood, we can add obstacles here, the problem is that the obstacles will make us unable to cooperate with the young commander to attack the enemy back and forth."

Ba Yegang said: "This method is not feasible. The enemy can easily approach the two sides of the exit. As long as we put in the fire, we will be very embarrassed when the wood is burned. If the south wind blows, the entire gorge will be submerged in thick smoke. Fortunately. Now the wind is either northwest or northeast, otherwise the smoke would be enough to drive us away from the channel."

Shen Mu was shocked and said: "Fortunately, Ye Gang reminded me that the enemy's fire attack is indeed very vicious and difficult to deal with. I have always wondered why Qu Tutong delayed his departure for two days after arriving in Xiangyang. At first, I thought it was It takes time to mobilize the troops, but it doesn't make sense to think about it clearly, because the Xiangyang defenders should be prepared early in order to prevent us from breaking through the encirclement and going south. The wind blows the thick smoke into the gorge, which is the best way to break through the defense of the gorge."

Bing Yuanzhen and Ba Yegang's expressions changed at the same time.

Shen Mu regained his composure, and said with a calm smile: "Since we have thought about the enemy's strategy, we have our own strategy to defeat the enemy. Let's ask Mr. Mou to build several sealed earth and rock gates at the exit, as high as possible. Then Set up archers, trebuchets and blowers on the wall, the first two deal with the enemy, the latter deal with the thick smoke, why not give up the road outside the exit?"

Bing Yuanzhen said happily: "I am afraid that there is no problem in the world that the young commander cannot solve. We will build the first fire wall six hundred steps away from the mouth of the gorge, so that all enemies entering the gorge will be exposed to our range of fire." inside."

Ba Yegang regained his confidence, and said with a smile: "If necessary, you can attack with fire against fire, and choke them to death."

Shen Mu laughed and said: "The most important thing is to be flexible. We also need to add a pool here like in a cottage. If necessary, cover your mouth and nose with a wet cloth to prevent you from being choked by the thick smoke. The enemy doesn't have this kind of convenience. ha!"

At this time, the gate opened, and the sentries returned to the gorge one after another.

Shen Mu said: "Leave this place to everyone, younger brother will go."

With a long laugh, he went out to the dark wasteland.

……

"when!"

Hearing the sound, Shen Mu stopped in the wilderness with his scalp numb, and couldn't believe his ears. To others, this sound was like ringing a bell in the evening drum and morning, full of auspiciousness.For him, it was nothing more than a soul-shattering spell.

It wasn't the first time he heard the same bell sound, he had heard it once at the Tianjin Bridge in Luoyang, but at this moment, [-] miles away from Tiancheng Gorge, it may mean that he has completely failed and his clever plan has come to nothing.

Sure enough, Liao Kong's voice sounded from behind and said, "Liao Kong sees the young commander."

Shen Mu issued an order, ordering Wuming to fly away from his shoulder, to scout the sky, and then slowly turned around to face the presiding holy monk of Jingnian Zen.

Under the radiance of the starry sky, Master Liaokong's Dharma face was solemn, holding a small golden bell in his right hand, his eyes were shining with sacred light, and he looked firmly at himself.

Shen Mu sighed: "Why did Master get involved in the fight between the kid and Li Shimin?"

Liao Kong showed a faint smile, and said softly: "Do you want to get involved in worldly affairs if you are a monk? The King of Qin sent someone to tell the old monk that the young commander is at the end of his life. I hope that the old monk can come to speak to the young commander in person. Shuai Ken agreed to disband the young commander's army, and King Qin can let the young commander return to Chenliu."

Shen Mu smiled wryly, "Li Shimin really knows how to find someone, but how did Master know that I would sneak out from the South Road exit to relax?"

Liao Kong said: "It's all thanks to King Qin's advice. He said that when the young commander finds out that the Xiangyang troops are approaching, he will go to Zhongli in person and lead the army to solve the problem on the south road of Tianchengxia. So I am waiting here. Now it is confirmed that King Qin's words are true. You know how little The handsome moves are all calculated by King Qin."

Shen Mu heaved a sigh of relief, Li Shimin is a mortal and not a god after all, neither would he have guessed that he did not ask Zhongli for help, let alone that he had a batch of firearms in hand.

Liao Kong continued: "The king of Qin asked the old man to advise the young commander that Zhongli's young commander was under strict surveillance by another naval fleet of the Tang Army and could not move. The young commander's trip will only be in vain. .”

Shen Mu was in admiration when he heard that, Li Shimin is worthy of being an outstanding master of war and combat in the world, he took the lead in deployment and gained the upper hand, if there were no firearms to attack the camp ruthlessly, he should bow his head and admit defeat at this time.

Quickly collected his mind, regained his composure, took a deep breath and said, "Is the master's trip just a kind advice? If the boy is obsessed with his obsession, the master will recite Amitabha, and then return to the Buddhist monastery without looking back to continue meditating, while the boy will continue on his way. "

Master Liaokong placed an interrogation Buddha's name on his chest with one palm, and calmly said: "It's a sin, a monk should not care about worldly affairs, but it concerns the common people in the world, and I was entrusted by King Qin, I must persuade the young general to quit. Because of this dispute, I decided to stay with the young commander from now on, until the young commander is willing to consider the proposal of the old monk for the sake of the people of Pengliang."

Shen Mu didn't expect him to do this, and was dumbfounded when he heard it.If Kong followed behind like this, the whole counterattack plan would become a joke.

Looking up at the sky, Wuming's flying posture made him know that there were no other enemies nearby, so he felt at ease, and said with a wry smile: "Master, did you see that the boy is unwilling to use force against you?"

Liao Kong smiled and said: "Young Marshal's words are serious! I just want to show with actions that the King of Qin is lenient to the Young Marshal. If what is waiting here is not the old Na but the generals under the King of Qin and thousands of Xuanjia fighters. What kind of situation is it?"

Shen Mu laughed dumbly and said: "The boy will be very happy, because my spirit bird will be the first to find their traces, and the boy can adapt to the situation, and maybe even cause King Qin to lose troops."

Liaokong sighed: "It seems that the young commander still refuses to give up."

Shen Mu frowned and said, "The boy is very confused about something, and wants to ask the master."

Leo Kong Surong said: "Young Commander, please give me advice."

Shen Mu slowly said word by word: "Aren't the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism against the two sects and six ways of the Demon Sect? Master, you know that the interior of the Li Clan has long been eroded and corrupted by the Demon Sect, and it also involves the attack on me, Zhongtu." A Turkic man with wolfish ambitions. To a large extent, the life and death of Li Shimin is linked to the life and death of me, Shen Mu. The day when Li Shimin triumphantly returns to the court will be the time when the rabbit dies. I, Shen Mu, accepted the dismissal of the master Shuai Jun’s proposal, if you do a great favor to the Demon Sect, the final beneficiary will not be anyone in Middle Earth, but Xieli who is connecting the tribes of the prairie outside the Great Wall.”

Liao Kong gave a Buddha's name, and said: "The unification and peace of the world is not an easy thing to achieve overnight. The King of Qin has long been mentally prepared for this. The young commander's words are not unreasonable, but he has not considered the consequences. If the young commander can successfully establish the country , the world is becoming a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, the flames of war are lingering, the people are dying, and the foreign tribes take advantage of the situation to invade, and the middle land will fall into a chaotic situation. Since the young commander has the heart to save the world and eliminate the demons, why don't you try your best to help the king of Qin, set things right, and let the people live. A happy and peaceful day?"

Shen Mu was surprised and said: "The words of the master make me even more puzzled. Why do I, Shen Mu, surrender to Li Shimin instead of Li Shimin to surrender to me? After all, the master is completely partial, and it is even more unfair. Does the master know how much I have? My comrade-in-arms died tragically under the swordsmen of the Tang army, and Li Shimin and I are at odds, either he dies or I die."

Liao Kong said calmly: "Either you die or I die. It is the best portrayal of war. The young commander chose the road of hegemony. He should have thought that this is an inevitable situation. The blood feud will only get deeper and deeper. The old man is willing Speaking to the Young Marshal on behalf of the King of Qin, there is no intention of favoring the King of Qin, but just based on the current situation. I will give the best advice to the Young Marshal, and hope that the two sides can stop fighting and avoid harm to the people. Amitabha!"

Shen Mu looked up at the night sky, and said in a deep voice: "If I'm still here one day, it's still unknown who will die. I have a better suggestion, and the master will listen to it."

Looking at the nose with empty eyes, looking at the heart with the nose, the Dharma eyes are hidden, and the treasurer said solemnly: "The old man respectfully listens to the proposal of the young commander."

Shepherd Shen smiled and said: "Okay! Master guessed my intentions! As Bi Xuan said, wars are ultimately resolved by force, not on the negotiating table. I will gamble with the master, assuming that the master can defeat me , I immediately disbanded the Young Marshal Army and bowed my head to admit defeat. Master can kill me of course, and the Young Marshal Army will naturally disintegrate. But if the Master can't help me, please return to the Zen Temple immediately, and don't care about me and Li Shimin in the future .”

Liaokong seemed to be deaf to Shen Mu's words, without any reaction, suddenly there was a "dang", the Zen bell rang, Liaokong gave a Buddha's name, and said calmly: "I haven't fought with anyone for nearly 30 years, and I really don't want to do it rashly." , can I limit myself to ten moves, as long as whoever is forced to be at a disadvantage, whichever is the most convenient will be the loser."

Shen Mu smiled and said, "So what about harmony?"

Liao Kong opened his eyes and looked at him, his eyes became unfathomable, and the holy light was shining brightly, and he reported back with a smile: "Of course the old monk has lost, according to the proposal, go back to the meditation room and face the wall, so as to confess the fault of easy thinking."

"Chong"!
Shen Mu drew his long sword out of its sheath and pointed it at the sky.

At that moment, Liaokong suddenly merged into the night sky in the sky. It was vast and boundless, with infinite magic power.

His eyes, filled with wisdom beyond the world, seem to be able to see through every intention in Shen Mu's heart, without any negligence or omission.

Shen Mu felt a kind of fear and reverence that he could not explain from the bottom of his heart. This was an emotion he had never experienced before confronting an opponent. Struggling in the dark night and raging sea where the waves are high and the wind is rushing away from the shore, I feel an insurmountable sense of powerlessness.

The bronze bell held by Liao Kong's right hand seemed to weigh more than ten thousand catties, but also as light as a feather; it was as huge as a mountain, and as ethereal as nothing.

Shen Mu's chest was oppressed, and he almost vomited blood.

Liao Kong said in a low voice: "The three realms are mind-only, and all dharmas are only consciousness. There is no need for others, it is all created by the mind; there is no way outside the mind, the eyes are full of mystery, and everything is complete."

Shen Mu took a step back, and his mind entered the ultimate state of the long sword.The ground on which the foot rests extends to all directions, directly to the end of the sky and the corner of the sea, the sky and the earth merge into one, and he himself becomes the core of the universe.

There is no distinction between heaven, earth and man.

The empty space in the eyes immediately turned back to the "real thing". Although there is still no gap to be found, it is no longer impossible to grasp and grasp.
