Chapter 404 You are the Buddha

War is always the biggest thing in the world, because there are so many things involved, and you can win anything.

But if you lose, you lose everything.

There was going to be a war in Yan. No one knew about the situation in Yan, but they all knew that it involved treason and regicide. Although Xia Chenfeng was dead, it was absolutely impossible for Xia Zhixu to be captured just like that.

Can.

No one knows.

Xia Zhixu went crazy and died.

But that's why the entire Yan region is where the real war is fought.

There is only the tumor gate.

Only here!

There are three male passes in Yandi, Wuhe Mountain, Tuozikou and Wangbei Pass.

Wuhe Mountain is the outermost and the first pass, Tuzikou is in the middle, and looking north is the third.

At the current location of the tumor mouth, the cold wind was biting and silent. There was an icy air in the wind, but more of it was mixed with the pungent smell of blood and burning.

Countless broken soldiers and broken shields, as well as scorched ground and broken armor, can be found everywhere in front and behind Tuzikou Pass.

The broken Great Xia banner is still swaying in the wind at the top of Tuzi Pass, as if it is faith, and only tells two words: "Don't retreat".

On the city wall at the pass, many soldiers silently carried the bodies of their companions who had been drinking and arguing with each other not long ago. Some people pulled out the arrows from their bodies, wiped them and put them in their own quivers. Some people huddled quietly behind the city wall. , eyes closed, and if the lips were chapped, he picked up the snow on hand and put it in his mouth to moisten it, and then continued to close his eyes and rest.

There were also many people carrying stones that had demolished some houses in the pass to the city wall to withstand the next attack.

But there are also many people who are wearing those broken armors. These people have empty eyes, looking at the scene outside the pass, looking at the corpses placed one by one. These people are trembling all over, there are men and women, old and young. .

“All sentient beings who have not yet been liberated have unstable nature and consciousness, bad habits have accumulated karma, good habits have resulted, do good and evil, live from situation to situation, rotate in the five paths, without rest, move through earthly kalpas, confused and obstructed, like fish swimming in a net. , will be a long stream, escaped from the temporary life, defeated, and caught in the net again, so I should worry about the generations like this. Since you have fulfilled your past vows, reaffirmed your oaths through many tribulations, and punished the sinful generations, why should I worry about it?"

A verse of salvation scripture was recited from the mouth of a monk with a strong build and a hideous face.

The sound was not loud, but everything was silent at the Tuozikou Gate. When they heard the scriptures, everyone looked at the monk.

The monk was barefoot and wearing a thin monk's robe. He clasped his hands and lowered his head while chanting softly.

Willing to endure all suffering.

So he walked barefoot in the snowy areas where snow fell only in winter. In this winter frost, he took off the coat that was given to the children, only wore a thin monk's robe, and let the cold wind bite his bones.

I only ask Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to send these soldiers to reincarnation safely despite their karma of killing but saving the world.

Everyone watched silently as the monk chanted sutras to save his comrades, and remained silent.

After the monk finished reciting, he stood up, clasped his hands toward the deceased, turned around, walked under the wall, picked up the big shield and blood knife that were leaning there, and walked silently toward the top of the city. go.

The soldiers under the city wall looked at the corpses after the monk finished reciting, looked at the monk again, and then asked: "If this master died earlier than us, wouldn't there be no one to save us after our death?"

Many people around remained silent.

"Without the salvation of Qiu people, there would be no Qiu people. I don't believe in Buddhism. If Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are really here, what are we doing now! So many people have died, why don't we see them coming to save the people! We are not going to die. Save! It’s not like those masters died one by one! It’s not like the people save themselves! Damn it, if you have the ability to show it now, I will believe it!” Some soldiers cursed.

He was a little excited when he said it. He probably hurt his wound, so the soldier felt a little pain and couldn't help gritting his teeth.

When the man finished scolding, someone immediately said: "Don't talk nonsense that disrespects gods and Buddhas. It's a taboo!"

The soldier with an accent who scolded the Buddha and Bodhisattva looked disdainful, but when he was about to say something more, he saw the monk walking over.

He immediately stood up and said, "Master, I don't mean to scold you. You are all good people, and I..."

Having said this, the man saw the monk clasping his hands and saluting him.

Then the monk looked at the soldier and said: "Donor, I don't mean to blame you. My master once said that all Buddha statues are just clay sculptures and do not need to be worshiped. All scriptures are just empty scriptures and do not need to be respected. Because Buddha Bodhisattvas are not among them, but among all living beings. You all went from Tanzhou to save people with the intention of dying. In the eyes of the young monk, you are all Buddhas. You are the Buddha who appears and saves the people."

After saying that, the monk put his hands together and saluted again, then turned and walked towards the top of the city.

On the top of the pass city, Du Yu took a deep look at the corpses of the soldiers who died on the city wall, and even looked at the monk, and lowered his head with a look of guilt.

Then he tightened his grip on the handle of the knife, but he didn't know if he used too much force. The injury on his shoulder ached slightly, but Du Yu, a scholar, didn't care.

Moreover, Du Yu not only had injuries on his shoulders, there was also a bandage on his head under the helmet, and there were blood stains on the bandage on his other hand. There were many other wounds that were invisible due to his armor.

My hair and beard, which are usually kept neat and tidy, have turned slightly white in just a few days.

Are monks, women and children forced to pick up knives and kill people?

What have we officials done?

Du Yu laughed at himself and blamed himself.

"General, the inventory is complete." At this time, Wei Shan, who was also injured, walked to Du Yu's side.

Du Yu looked at Wei Shan.

Weishan looked troubled, but he still spoke: "There are now 2,789 people capable of fighting, including more than 900 Tanzhou soldiers and horses, and the others are all civilians who have been rescued."

When Du Yu heard this, he closed his eyes slightly and looked at the soldiers sitting and lying in front of him.

The total number of soldiers and horses that came out from Tanzhou to rescue the people with him was about 7,000, but now there are only more than 900 left.

She put away her son-daughter attitude in her heart, knowing that she could not show up like this at the moment, so she then asked: "How long can the food last?"

Wei Shan immediately said: "Four days."

Du Yu clenched his fists, glanced at the people locked together in the pass, and then said: "The reinforcements have arrived."

When Wei Shan heard this, he looked at Du Yu with a solemn expression.

Reinforcements will surely arrive within four days.

In other words, they have been holding on for five days now. If nothing else happens, reinforcements will definitely arrive before tomorrow.

but.

Can they last four more days?

Du Yu looked at Wei Shan and knew what Wei Shan was thinking, so he said, "If you can't guard it, you have to guard it."

After saying that, Du Yu stood up.

The injuries on Du Yu's body made Du Yu's face look painful, and Wei Shan hurriedly helped him up.

Du Yu shook his head, endured the pain and stood up straight, then put his hand on the handle of the knife and walked a few steps towards the city wall.

Many soldiers looked at Du Yu, who was standing upright, and silently straightened their crouched bodies.

Du Yu looked south.

Outside the field of vision, a large camp can be seen, and the camp is brightly lit with fire.

That was the camp where the rebel soldiers and horses from Yongshan Camp led by Zhang Jue were stationed.

A few days ago.

Du Yu led Tanzhou soldiers and horses to rush for reinforcements. He originally wanted to rush to Wuhekou Pass, but he did not expect to find Weishan on the way to Wuhekou.

From Weishan Pass, Du Yu learned that the current Wuhekou and Tuozikou were all Mobei soldiers wearing Daxia armor, and although there were no Mobei soldiers at Wangbeiguan, they were all Yongshan and Jizhou garrisons.

The three checkpoints have always been guarded by soldiers and horses from the Yongshan Camp.

Now the Mobei people occupy two checkpoints

it goes without saying!

Xia Zhixu is treason!

Yongshan camp is treason!

Especially from Weishan Pass, we know that after being sent through Wangbei Pass by soldiers from the Yongshan Camp, the common people stopped all the way at Zuozikou, and were then escorted out of the pass into Mobei by the Mobei people.

There are many Mobei people at Wuhekou, especially outside the pass, there are Mobei troops waiting to help the people.

At present, there is a group of common people at Zhuzikou, so more soldiers and horses from Mobei are gathered at Zhuzikou.

Du Yu said no more, immediately changed his strategy and snatched back the Tuzikou.

In fact, it would be best to recapture Wuhekou and block Zhang Jueyongshan Camp and the Mobei people from entering Daxia. It would be best to just hold on and wait for reinforcements from Marshal Meng Qin of Dazhou.

but.

The people are in trouble and can no longer think about these things!

Then Du Yu personally led a thousand soldiers to pretend to be soldiers of Yongshan Camp, and asked other soldiers to take off their armor and pretend to be common people, as if they were escorting the common people.

Unexpectedly, those Mobei people opened the gate and let them in.

The tumor mouth was also snatched back.

Can.

Just as Du Yu expected, the rebels from Zhang Jueyongshan's camp came immediately, whether it was Zhuzikou or Wuhekou, and the Mobei people in the north also sent troops.

Enemy from both sides.

Only stick to it!

just

Du Yu believed that since Zhang Jue was treasonous, he must quickly enter the territory of Mobei, so he would definitely attack fiercely and speed up the breakthrough!

Especially the tumor mouth that occupied the second level made Zhang Jue even more anxious!

Present

Du Yu looked at the camp in the distance and said: "Many people are probably being captured by them now. Our place is broken. When the people are sent out, their deaths will be in vain. And our place is broken." "

"I don't know what's going on in Wangbei yet, but the two passes of Zuizikou and Wuheshan will fall into the hands of the Mobei people. If we try to take them back, more people will die. If they invade by then. The tragedy of the Mobei people marching straight into Yanland a year ago happened again. At that time, more people died, and there was danger in Daxia. Therefore, we must hold on."

Weishan's face was solemn and he remained silent.

Du Yu looked at Wei Shan and smiled: "Are you scared?"

Wei Shan shook his head, and then said: "I just feel that you don't deserve to die here, sir, and if Meng Shaoan doesn't..."

At this point, Wei Shan stopped talking.
