Thirty thousand fine riders rode out of Chang'an, but the sound of horseshoes in the second half of the night woke up many people. However, the soldiers defending the city of the Black Banner Army have always been rotated in the middle of the night, so those who heard the sound of the army marching would not care. At dawn, the martial arts conference will be held, in the martial arts field outside Chang'an City.
There will be many high-ranking officials and dignitaries participating in this meeting, and these people can't imagine that King Wu has already left Chang'an City.
In the carriage, Sang Sa said: "When I first established the Yellow Sect, I needed the permission of the Dalun Temple, so the disciples of the Yellow Sect also worshiped the Great Wheel Mingwang, which was regarded as a branch of the Buddha Sect, so it could be established. Every month , will select disciples to listen to Buddhist scriptures in the outer courtyard of Dalun Temple, and many of them are familiar with the disciples of the Yellow Sect and Buddhist sect."
Fang Jie asked, "Is the person who came looking for you still there?"
Sang Sa said: "He has already left, and he plans to find a safe place to live in seclusion."
Fang Jie felt a little regretful: "It would be great if I could ask more clearly. I have always felt that there is something strange in Dalun Temple, such as the Dazizai..."
Sang Sasha said: "He mentioned Dazizai, he said that there are quite a few disciples of the Buddhist sect who accompanied the Meng Yuan Emperor Mengge this time, but not many of them were high-level. After all, the battle between the royal court and the Buddhist sect During the battle, the disciples of Fozong suffered heavy casualties. What surprised him the most was that four Dazizai followed Emperor Mengyuan."
"Four?!"
Fang Jie was startled, and then his mind suddenly brightened: "So, Da Zizai is not a person at all, maybe he is not a person at all?"
Sang Sasha said: "The most shocking thing is not these four Dazizi. He said that a while ago, a man in white broke into the Dalun Temple. When he entered the Dalun Mingwang Palace, he didn't know how many Da Zizai came out to stop him, and the man in white walked and killed him all the way, until Da Zizai killed all over the ground of Dalun Mingwang Palace."
"He also heard from the Buddhist sect. The Buddhist sect told him that in fact, Da Zizai is not a real person at all, but something created by the god in Dalun Temple."
There was only a flicker in Fang Xie's mind, as if he had grasped something, but it disappeared quickly. He pondered for a while, always vaguely feeling that he could understand the occurrence of a lot of freedom, but he just couldn't think of which aspect he understood.
"Because the disciples of the Yellow Sect have lost more, the person who came to me has been highly valued by Brother Meng. Brother Meng still doesn't believe in the disciples of the Buddha Sect, and has always kept a distance from Da Zizai. Relatively speaking, the disciples of the Yellow Sect He valued it even more. He said that Meng Ge once said that Da Zizai has a very strange physique, and Da Zizai will be reborn every time he makes a shot against others."
Fang Jie thought of the Da Zizi he killed in Jiangnan, and nodded: "I have thought of that. Now I am even more curious about what else is in the Dalun Temple."
"Maybe..."
Sang Sa said: "Only by going to see it for yourself will you know how many secrets are hidden in Dalun Temple."
Fang Jie nodded: "After I finish the battle, I will take a trip."
Just as he was talking, someone called him outside.
"My lord, there is an urgent military report."
Fang Jie opened the curtain of the carriage, and Ma Lilian, a thousand households of the Xiaoqi School, handed over a copy of the military information: "This is from the Lingmen Gate."
Fang Jie nodded, took the military information and sat back. He didn't notice the way Marilyn looked at him.
Unpacking the general situation, Fang Jie looked at it and then frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Sang Sasha asked.
"Brother Meng seems to be unable to wait any longer. Since a few days ago, the army of Meng Yuan began to forcefully cross the river, using all means. Floating bridges, small boats, no casualties at all. I sent people to take a walk in the northwest a while ago, Brother Meng The rumors of death, and sent people to the Lingmen Pass to spread rumors that Meng Lie rebelled and rushed back to the royal court. It is estimated that these rumors played a role. Brother Meng is leaving... "
"It's not attacking like crazy, how could it be leaving?"
Sang Sasha asked puzzledly.
Fang Jie smiled: "This is a matter of the art of war. It's not true. It's because he couldn't sit still and wanted to leave, so he deliberately showed that he wanted to attack desperately. If there is no accident, we will Brother Meng's army began to retreat before reaching the Lingmen Gate. He deliberately left a group of people to die, and the seemingly violent attack was just to cover up that he was going to retreat."
"Will it be too late?"
Sang Sasha asked.
Fang Jie shook his head: "It's not that easy for him to retreat. Now that his army is short of food and grass, he has to deal with food and grass first if he wants to retreat. Therefore, he will first scatter his soldiers and horses to plunder, and take everything that can be looted." Robbed. To make a false appearance of a fierce attack, and not to be able to confuse people for a day, he not only confuses my Black Banner Army, but also confuses those Mongolian troops who are about to be abandoned by him, so we rushed to Lingmen It’s still too late.”
Sang Sasha didn't understand: "Meng Yuan's army is strong, I didn't expect that it was just a rumor that defeated them."
Fang Jie said with a smile: "Brother Meng was wrong this time, he shouldn't divide his troops. He thought he could enter the Central Plains from two routes without anyone noticing, and then make me unable to look after each other. He didn't know that Chen Dingnan's troops had originally left The road to the west is the road to the west. After getting the news, Chen Dingnan will be able to lead his army to intercept it. It can only be said to be a coincidence... If it wasn't for the time when I marched north, if I didn't divide my troops into two groups, if I didn't know about the conspiracy of Moon Shadow Hall, I can't say He's really made it now."
"Once the Mongolian Yuan army attacked from the north and the south, it was really hard for me to resist. Just like when Li Yuanshan suddenly let the Mengyuan wolf cavalry go around behind the Zhengxi army, how could the 700,000 elites of the Sui court collapse so quickly? Moon Shadow What Tang wants to do is what Li Yuanshan did back then, but I am not Yang Yi."
Sang Sasha smiled: "Heaven is helping you."
Fang Jie shook his head: "Heaven will never help anyone."

Yishui
The corpses floating on the river almost covered the entire river, and the current could not wash away the corpses quickly. Some corpses were washed to the bank by the current, blocked by the weeds and reeds on the river bank, and just floated there, looking very desolate. From time to time in the river, big fish poked their heads out of the water, tentatively biting the corpses. The smell of blood seemed to make the fish become brutal. There were also many bold beasts, who looked up vigilantly at the corpses while eating them. around.
It has been four days in a row, and the Mongolian people's fierce attack regardless of the cost has had little effect.
"Khan, shouldn't it be time to retreat?"
Quoke Taimondo, one of Wang Ting's generals, asked in a low voice: "If you don't retreat, there will inevitably be people from the Montenegrin Army who will be suspicious. After four days of continuous fierce attack, the Black Banner Army on the other side should not have thought of the Khan preparing retreat."
Looking at the corpses floating on the river, Meng Ge's face was very ugly.
"I always feel that we shouldn't retreat."
Quoke Taimondo said in a hurry: "However, if the news is true, Meng Lie has already taken a step ahead. If he is allowed to return to the royal court first, it will be dangerous. Based on my understanding of Meng Lie , if he really does such a thing, he will definitely send troops to block our way back to the grassland."
"Could this be a rumor deliberately spread by the Black Banner Army?"
Meng Ge murmured, his voice very soft.
"actually… "
Don't take a look at Mengge's face, and then tentatively said: "Actually, everyone doesn't understand why you suddenly decided to go east. The empire is weak. Although the Central Plains is more chaotic and weaker, this is not the last time. It's a good time to march. Besides, aren't our steps too big? After we left the Langrushan Canyon, we marched all the way. If we occupy the mountains and rivers in the northwest of the Sui Kingdom and then hold on, the Black Banner Army may not have the strength to attack and recapture them. , after all, the Black Banner Army has to face the intrigue among their own people."
"I was wrong?"
Meng Ge muttered to himself again, maybe he wasn't talking to Duobie at all.
"Great Khan, in fact, people below have been talking about it all the time. They all say that you have been fascinated by the evil people of the Buddhist sect. Our troops have suffered heavy losses in the Central Plains, and the Buddha Sect will be able to take advantage of the situation to rise again. After all, even though Buddhas were slaughtered on the entire grassland, there are not a few herdsmen who still have hope for the Buddha Sect."
Meng Ge's face changed, and a voice in his heart sneered at him: "Meng Ge, you are a fool, you are deceived but don't know it."
"If this is the case, then the Buddhist sect will definitely collude with someone in the royal court."
Don't be worried: "The purpose of the Buddha Sect is to prevent the Great Khan from going back to the grassland, and then support someone to compete for the position of the Great Khan. In this way, the national power of the empire will be greatly consumed, and if you can't go back, you will be powerless Fight against those people in the Dalun Temple in Daxue Mountain. Those who are supported will have to restore the status of the Buddhist sect... In that case, wouldn't all the efforts of the Great Khan be in vain?"
The more he said, the more confused Meng Ge became.
He thought of the pictures he had seen in Dalun Temple, and then he really made the decision to march east involuntarily. The Buddhist sect has always had the ability to confuse people's hearts, so... did I really see such a tragic and desperate scene that day, or did I just fall into the illusion created by the Buddhist sect
If it is the latter, there is no doubt that many other analyzes will come true.
"So, Big Khan, I really can't hesitate any longer."
Duobie said: "Now there is more than one Meng Lie to worry about, there is also Gai She from the Black Mountain Army. The rumors cannot be stopped, and Gai She already knows about it. If he knows, what will he think?"
"Gai pardons that person..."
Don't shake your head vigorously: "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different!"

Montenegro Army Camp
Gai She stood outside the big tent with his hands behind his back.
"General, are the rumors true?"
His trusted general stood behind him and asked in a low voice.
Gai She didn't answer, and his expression didn't change. He didn't seem to have heard the words of this confidant at all, and he seemed to be stuck in some deep thought and couldn't extricate himself. His subordinates were still chattering, but he didn't answer a word.
"General, we have been neglected and oppressed for so many years. If this rumor is true, it is definitely the best opportunity for our tribe. As long as the general kills Meng Ge now, and then brings our Montenegro army back , directly into the royal court, the grassland will belong to our tribe again!"
His cronies are still talking, gushing.
puff!
Gai She suddenly drew his knife and slashed with his backhand, chopping off the head of that confidant.
"It's not good to talk too much."
He muttered to himself, then turned and walked towards the big tent.
"Dedicate his head to the Great Khan and tell the Great Khan that he encouraged me to rebel and that I have killed him."
Gai She's voice came from inside the big tent, cold and heartless.
