Chapter 391: The Decisive Battle of the Kingdom of Heavenly Prefecture (6)

7days ago Historical fiction 7
I slept very well last night, and when Zhu Gaoxu got up, the sun had already risen.

During breakfast, the scout came to report: Before dawn, a large number of soldiers of the government left Huayang County and marched straight south!

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu had no reaction at all, and just ordered the departments to continue to rest in the peace venue.

After a while, Qu Neng and other generals came to the main hall of the wafang to pay their respects.Zhu Gaoxu asked the soldiers to collect the bowls and chopsticks on the square table.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand to let the generals give up and said: We set off from Luzhou to Longquanyi, and after walking for nearly half a month, the soldiers were exhausted.Most of the soldiers took a breath at Longquanyi the day before yesterday, and they were afraid they couldn't recover yet, so they had to take a break.But we can't rest in Longquan Post, we can only come to Taiping Square. Do you know why?

Qu Neng pondered: Confusing Xue Lu, making him mistakenly think that the prince wants to join forces with Mu Sheng’s army?

Zhu Gaoxu smiled and pointed at Qu Neng and said: Those who know me are General Qu!He paused and said, of course he still had his opponent Xue Lu. If he didn't understand me, how could he cooperate so much?

Zhu Gaoxu felt that his contemplation of Xue Lu's temperament was getting closer and closer to the truth... Xue Lu had no other idea, just unwilling to be a turtle, but wanted to fight the Han Wangjun!

Previously, the official army strengthened the walls and cleared the fields and transferred the ships on the river.

After Zhu Gaoxu crossed the river, he scolded Xue Lu along the way for being afraid of the Han Wangjun and doing such things. When Qu Neng's cavalry pioneer wandered around Chengdu Prefecture, he also scolded Xue Lu for being afraid of war.

Now it seems that Xue Lu is very angry and is determined to have a fight with Zhu Gaoxu.

And it is really hard to be a turtle.The upper class of the official army may also be worried that there will be traitors and insiders in Chengdu.Fortifications like Chengdu Prefecture are strong, but they are inevitably complicated.

In the Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties, there was no concept of street fighting in the city offensive and defensive battles; as long as the attacking army attacked the city, everyone would default to the failure to defend the city and the hearts of the people would collapse.

...At this time, both armies were under the eyes of each other; Zhu Gaoxu left Longquanyi and turned south, and the large-scale mobilization would definitely not be able to hide from Xue Lu's scout.

Zhu Gaoxu only walked to Taipingchang for one day and did not intend to continue leaving; he just wanted to show a sign, just like giving the people five-school money to express his attitude, the weight does not matter, the key is to tell others what they want to do.

Of course, it doesn’t matter what Zhu Gaoxu wants to do. What’s important is: Xue Lu thinks he wants to do.

Xue Lu thought Zhu Gaoxu wanted to escape, so he went southwest to find Mu Sheng's army to join!Since this is the case, Xue Lu certainly would not sit idly by and watch the enemy's strength grow.

Perhaps Xue Lu had never intended to avoid the war, he just wanted to concentrate his superior forces to defeat them one by one.

At first, he wanted to destroy the weaker Mu Sheng army first, but later he found that Chengdu was threatened and changed his strategy to destroy Zhu Gaoxu's troops first.

Now Zhu Gaoxu suddenly moved to the southwest, which was equivalent to telling Xue Lu: If you don’t come, I will leave!In a few days, I will join Mu Sheng and I will have more than 100,000 troops!

So Xue Lu understood the special language on the battlefield, thought of Zhu Gaoxu, and quickly went out.

This kind of language is like a driver who sees others give in and honks the horn and says thank you. Only an expert understands it.

Xue Lu wants to intercept Zhu Gaoxu, of course he will not march towards the Taiping Field, because Zhu Gaoxu may also be moving; he can only predict Zhu Gaoxu's way forward and head towards the direction of the Han Wangjun.

At this time, Qu Neng spoke again: Xue Lu may go to Huanglongxi first.

Zhu Gaoxu looked down at the map in front of him, and nodded immediately and said: It makes sense.

Huanglong River is located in the southwest of the Han Wangjun now, more than 70 miles away from this place; it is located between the Longquan Mountains and the remnants of Qionglai Mountains and the west bank of the Fuhe River, and can control the main roads on both sides of the east and west.

At the same time, Huanglongxi is only fifty miles away from Huayang County. If nothing unexpected happens, Xue Lu will be able to arrive here in advance.

However, Zhu Gaoxu plans to not leave now.

He said to the generals: Before the war, the best situation for us is to meet with Mu Sheng's army, and then fix it for a few days, and then fight.But people should not be too greedy. If they wait until all the benefits are taken, Xue Lu is unwilling to fight to the decisive battle, time will take a while.Resolving the Sichuan war as soon as possible is crucial to the entire war situation.

When Zhu Gaoxu said this, he was still considering Gu Cheng from Guizhou and Zhang Fu's attitude that he only knew yesterday.

All the generals nodded one after another, agreeing with Zhu Gaoxu's view. Veda said: If the soldiers seek war at this time, if they delay for too long, they will be afraid that their morale will be lost.

The entire army repaired on the spot and waited for Xue Lu to come in the Taiping Field.Zhu Gaoxu said, sending generals to see all the terrain around Taiping Town clearly, and even if there is a house or wood, you cannot neglect it.After the You hour, we came to the central army to speak.

Qu Nengweida and others clasped their fists and said: The last general is in command!

Everyone said they had their hands off, and Zhu Gaoxu then walked in the main hall for a while and walked out of the room.He took his personal guards and wandered around the market.

In the evening, the scouts explored the movements of the government army.

As expected, Xue Lu's army was moving southward, and the entire army was divided into three gulfs, which were not far away, and stationed the west bank of the river.

The cavalry is in Huanglong Creek, one is in Yong'an Field in the north, and the other is located between Huanglong Creek and Yong'an Field.

Both sides' thinking has closed the rhythm!

Zhu Gaoxu deals with the generals of the official army, and is indeed different from the native leaders; Luchuan Si family and Annan Hu family, weighing the pros and cons with them is like talking about chickens and ducks, and it is useless at all.

...The next morning, Xue Lujun, the official army, crossed the river from the floating bridge on the Fu River and began to march towards the Taiping Field.

The Han Wang army still held its troops and continued to repair them.Because the main force of the official army, infantry and cavalry, it is impossible to travel more than 70 miles in one day.

Zhu Gaoxu rode out early in the morning. Today he did not go to the southwest direction of Xue Lu, but to the southeast.

Taiping Field leaned against the western foot of Longquan Mountains. Zhu Gaoxu and others rode their horses for a while and could see the shape of the Longquan Mountains.

Zhu Gaoxu, who came from Guizhou, looked at Longquan Mountain and felt that it was not high, but it was located in the plain area, and this mountain range was also quite eye-catching.

The group walked southeast of the Taiping Square and saw many small hills in a short while. It seemed that this was the foot of the Longquan Mountains.The terrain is undulating and gradually climbs with a gentle slope.

There are many dead wood stakes and traces of burning out of the grass and trees on the wasteland around the long slope, replaced by large areas of loquat, peach, and seem to be plum trees.

The fruit trees are not big and are planted relatively sparsely; even if you don’t walk on the road, there is no problem passing through the fruit forest.

Last night I heard someone say there is a Buddhist temple on it?Zhu Gaoxu said casually.

Liu Ying, who was traveling with him, said: Go back to the prince, the temple is called Shengjin Temple, and there is a large dam on it, called Sajinba.

Go up and take a look.Zhu Gaoxu said.

Everyone continued to climb the slope in front. This slope was steeper than the hills just now, but in comparison, you can still run by riding a horse.

The slope is relatively dry, and there are still many small trees such as peach trees, but the weeds are denser.

This place is a place where rivers and water conservancy cannot irrigate, and there is not even a piece of rice fields.

After going up the slope, I saw an old temple.

Because the name contains the word "gold", Zhu Gaoxu thought it was a magnificent Buddhist temple, but he saw it with his own eyes and found that it was not the case.

The soldiers gradually came outside the main hall of Suojin Temple.At this time, an old monk came out, glanced at a group of big men wearing armor and holding sharp edges, then closed their arms and bowed their eyebrows and said with pleasure: Amitabha!

Zhu Gaoxu also put ten bows together and walked into the hall. He saw a box of merit in front of the Bodhisattva. He took out a string of copper coins, put them in, and stood in front of the Bodhisattva and bowed a few times.

Seeing this, the old monk seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said: If the donor accumulates virtue and does good deeds, he will be protected by my Buddha.

Borrowing the auspicious words of the master.Zhu Gaoxu said, by the way, why is this temple called Suojin Temple?

The old monk said: During the Tang Dynasty, there was a good man in Shu who picked up ten kilograms of gold on the road and built a Shijing Temple on Longquan Mountain. Before the gold was used up, he then built Changsong Temple and Fuqing Temple. Before it was used up, the good man then built a Buddhist temple with the remaining gold here, so it was called "Supreme Golden Temple".

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu said: So that's it, this origin is interesting.

He only spoke a few words to the monk. Everyone did not stay in Suojin Temple for too long. They came out soon and continued to walk and watch while walking in Sajinba.

From Zuojin Temple to the south, there are a large area of ​​flat land, with many vegetables growing nearby, and you can’t see it at a glance in the distance.

However, in the distance to the west, you can see the mountains and forests vaguely.

The terrain of this section of Longquan Mountain is very interesting. The terrain is relatively flat, but it is very layered; it looks like a magnified terraced dam.

Zhu Gaoxu and others continued to walk south along the edge of the steep slope.

After a long time, the dam gradually turned into a downhill road. At first glance, it still looked flat, but when you walk, you can feel that it was downhill.

The slope to the south of the dam is very gentle and wide, so slow that it is almost impossible to see by the naked eye. The vegetation is mainly weeds and shrubs; there is a courtyard on the edge of the dam to the west.

If you continue to look south, the mountain in the distance will become steeper, and a big mountain blocks the horizon. The green color is very thick, and it should be a dense forest.

Pine forest slope.Liu Ying pointed at the south and said, "The last general's guard asked the locals that they learned their names."

The gentle slope where Zhu Gaoxu is located is like a huge gap between Sajinba and Songlin slope.

After walking for a while, Zhu Gaoxu said: The old monk just now said that I have accumulated good deeds and virtues. If we want to do good deeds, we must do it to the end. We might as well set up the headquarters of the Central Army to the Suijin Temple and move the battlefield to the vicinity of Sajinba.After all, there are few people and private houses here. Compared with the Taiping Field, it can reduce more house losses and accidental injuries to the people.

Many generals looked around and observed the surrounding terrain.

Zhu Gaoxu paused for a moment and said: Although I do not understand the teachings of Buddhism, I can be sure that my Buddha’s compassion is not to let the world protect the temple, but to cherish life.
