Chapter 19 Order to kill the Buddha
The next morning, Xiao Yu, Changshan and Situ Ming led all the elites to leave Gumu City.
As Xiao Yu said, the purpose of their initiative to attack this time is not to occupy more territory, but to destroy as many forces as possible.
Now, Yang Shang has no power to dominate the world. As long as Xiao Yu disperses the forces of Sima Li in Yueyang County, Guiming County, Yuyang County and Yingzhou County, it is not difficult for him to turn back and occupy his four counties.
It was with these considerations that Xiao Yu decided to destroy Sima Li's power first, and then occupy the territory originally ruled by Sima Li.
Out of Gumu City, the army went all the way north, but headed for Lishui City.
Since Xiao Yu attacked Tongjiaguan, Mo Wentian withdrew to Lishui City, the easternmost part of Yueyang County, with the army originally controlled by Wan Guiyun and He Tianhua.
Lishui City is called Lishui City, which is actually between Lishui and Buxiang River.
The section of the Buxiang River outside Lishui City flows from the southwest to the northeast. Its northwest bank is Lishui City, and the southeast bank is the Sanshui Pass of Guiming County.
Mo Wentian led his troops to Lishui City, but he had the intention to withdraw from Yueyang County at any time.
Xiao Yu sent troops to take Li Linxiang and others with him this time. Of course, there was no need for Xia Yu to guard them in Gumu City. When he left Gumu City, he asked Xia Yu to go to Lishui City to find out the news.
When night fell, when Xiao Yu's army arrived at Yuecheng, where there was no army, Xia Yu brought back news about Lishui City.
Xiao Yu's guess is right. At noon, Mo Wentian led his troops out of Lishui City.
The reason why Mo Wentian has not brought the army directly out of Yueyang County is that its purpose is to deter some small local forces in Yueyang County and make them dare not take the initiative to turn to Xiao Yu. In this way, in the future, when Xiao Yu completely occupies Yueyang County, if Xiao Yu wants to completely occupy the whole Yueyang County, then appease those small forces. Force will also take some time for Xiao Yu.
For Mo Wentian, no matter how much time and energy Xiao Yu needs to spend to appease those small forces, it will only be good for him, not bad.
Now Xiao Yu really sent troops. He didn't want to fight with Xiao Yu for the time being, so he withdrew from Lishui City directly.
While withdrawing from Lishui City, he sent his masters to destroy all the ships in Lishui City and the two towns on the other side of Lishui City.
After pondering for a while, Xiao Yu muttered to Xia Yu, "If I expected it well, Mo Wentian was most likely to retreat east after knowing the speed of our march. If he shakes and retreats to the east, then he should have a round with reinforcements from Yuyang County. If you don't ask for a naive retreat to the east, the senior will go to Yuyang to have a look.
"Yes!"
Xia Yu answered and rushed to the sky into a white light.
When Xia Yu left Yuecheng, Xiao Yu called Changshan and asked him to send people around to collect raw iron.
Changshan was a little strange to Xiao Yu's order, but he didn't ask what to collect raw iron.
Although when Wan Guiyun withdrew from Yuecheng, he almost took away all the Chinese iron he could collect in Yuecheng, Changshan only took two hours to collect more than 3,000 catties of Chinese iron for Xiao Yu.
When she continued to travel, Xiao Yu drove her horse forward while refining the gin iron with the ground fire in the divine fire beads. With his keen control over the ground fire, when he arrived at Lishui after noon the next day, he had refined more than 3,000 catties of cast iron into chains.
Xiao Yu's speed of refining the iron chain is too fast, and the quality of the chain is naturally not high, but the quality of the chain is enough for him.
When the army stopped to rest, Xiao Yu handed over the chains to Changshan and Situ Ming and said, "I ordered a large number of rafts, and then connect them with these chains to make a pontoon bridge."
As soon as Changshan and Situ Ming's eyes lit up, they immediately ordered some of their soldiers to build rafts.
In the case of an enemy, Xiao Yu's method of crossing the river is not feasible at all; however, in the absence of an enemy, this method can allow the army to cross Lishui within three hours.
Xiao Yu only let the army rest in Yuecheng for two hours, which was to let the soldiers rest by crossing the river.
When the pontoon bridge was just set up, Xia Yu's changing white spirit bird appeared above Xiao Yu's head.
He didn't change his body. Xia Yu told Xiao Yu the news he had heard in mid-air.
A part of the northwest of Guiming County is occupied by Wu Zong'an, but Wu Zong'an is already a general under the command of the King of Ming. Therefore, if Mo Wentian wants to retreat, it is much more likely that he chooses to retreat to the east than he is to retreat to the north.
As Xiao Yu guessed, when Mo Wentian withdrew to the east, Shen Qianshan, the general who guarded Yuyang County, led his army to the west to meet Mo Wentian's army.
After frowning and meditating for a moment, Xiao Yu called Changshan, Situ Ming and Lin Beiwen to the front to discuss, and then sent a few words to Li Linxiang and Xiao Yiyi, and then soared up in the air and let Xia Yu carry him to the east.
Xiao Yu went east to see the power of Shen Qianjun's army. If their power was not strong, Xiao Yu would rely on her own strength to kill Shen Qianjun. If their power was strong, Xiao Yu figured out their details, so that she would not suffer losses without knowing the details of the other party.
After traveling nearly 600 miles to the east, Xiao Yu saw Shen Qianshan's army.
Xia Yu didn't fly too high, but in the dark night, Shen Qianshan and the gatekeepers around him did not notice them in mid-air.
After observing for a moment, Xiao Yu probably guessed the location of Shen Qianshan's tent.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Yu let Xia Yu fly away, and he himself slowly fell down with the help of a pair of spiritual wings behind him.
When it was less than thirty feet away from the ground, Xiao Yu suddenly put away the spiritual wings behind him. While rapidly falling, she hit two Tianyang thunders in the two tents that Shen Qianshan might have.
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the two tents were blown up in a mess.
As soon as Shen Lei exploded, Xiao Yu entered one of the tents.
In the camp, Xiao Yu did not see Shen Qianshan, but saw an unexpected person.
"Sima Yuling?"
Xiao Yu was slightly stunned, and then flashed to Sima Yuling's side, killed the middle-aged woman in front of Sima Yuling with a sword, and instantly sealed her with a spiritual prohibition.
At this time, twelve long-life masters appeared in the camp almost at the same time.
Among the twelve masters of Long Life, none of them is asking about the realm of elixir cultivation, but there are as many as five masters in the realm of gathering liquid and holding elixir, including Zhang Lei, whom Xiao Yu has seen.
Grabbing Sima Yuling's shoulder with one hand, Xiao Yu glanced at the twelve immortal masters, stared at the only one among them, and said in a low voice, "Which school are you from? If you intervene in the world, aren't you afraid that the sect will be destroyed?
Xianxiu is dressed in a black robe. He looks middle-aged and is handsome. He can open his mouth, but it is difficult for people to like him again. His voice is more uncomfortable than the cry of a crow.
"Do you think all immortals in the world have sects?"
"It's best to have no sect. You don't have to worry about killing Xiao."
The black-robed Taoist made a few unpleasant smiles, but he didn't answer Xiao Yu's words.
She glanced at the twelve masters of Long Life again. Xiao Yu turned her head and looked at Sima Yuling, and a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Yu understands that the person Xiao Yuanfeng hates most is Xia Yuan who betrays him. Therefore, his hatred for Xia Yuan is also stronger than his hatred for Sima Li.
Despite this, killing Xia Yuan, Xiao Yu did not give up the intention of killing Sima Li.
Xiao Yu wanted to kill Sima Li. When he saw Sima Yuling in Gaochang County, he also wanted to kill Sima Yuling. However, when he could really pinch Sima Yuling to death, he hesitated.
Sima Yuling is Sima Li's favorite daughter. Xiao Yu is worried that if he kills Sima Yuling directly, he will be retaliated by Sima Li.
Xiao Yu is confident that he has the strength to resist all the revenge of Sima Li. The people around him, especially Xiao Lin, do not have the strength to resist Sima Li's revenge.
Turning his mind, Xiao Yu said in a low voice to Zhang Lei, "If you want to save her life, you'd better not let them move."
With a sneer, Xiao Yu condensed a pair of spiritual wings behind her back and slowly flew up.
Xiao Yu's flying speed is not fast, but none of Zhang Lei and other twelve masters of Long Life dared to stop Xiao Yu.
When Xiao Yu flew almost thirty years away from the ground, Xia Yu turned into a white light to catch Xiao Yu, took Xiao Yu to the sky, and soon disappeared into the clouds.
Flying into the clouds, Xia Yu stopped.
Looking at Sima Yuling with seven points of hatred and three points of fear on her face, Xiao Yu sneered, lifted part of the prohibition on her body, and gave her the ability to speak.
Xiao Yu unlocked part of the prohibition on Sima Yuling's body. The purpose was to exert ecstasy to Sima Yuling. Unexpectedly, as soon as Sima Yuling could speak, she said, "Do you want to know why your father killed your ancestors?"
He was stunned for a moment. A cold light flashed in Xiao Yu's eyes. He stared at Sima Yuling and asked, "Why?"
"Do you know the order to kill the Buddha?"
"I know! Sima Li is ungrateful and well known all over the world.
The order to kill the Buddha is an order issued by Sima Li to kill the world. Because Sima Li practiced in Liuyun Temple when he was young, people in the world, especially the people in the area ruled by the Ming King, will say that Sima Li's order to kill the Buddha is ungrateful.
Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Sima Yuling's face was obviously angry, but he did not dare to vent his anger.
Taking a deep breath, Sima Yuling suppressed the anger in his heart and then said, "This Buddha's death order also has something to do with Ling Zu."
Seeing that Xiao Yu did not mean to answer, Sima Yuling continued: "In those years, the mother was plotted and was poisoned by the soul incense. My father looked for famous doctors all over the world, but no one could get rid of the poison of soul incense. In desperation, my father had to go to the Golden Light Temple to ask for help. Jinguang Temple promised to give his father a piece of meritorious golden lotus petals to save his life, but he asked his father to take the medicine king's order to exchange it. My father is not a person who likes to ask for help, let alone a person who likes to be threatened by others. However, in order to save his mother, he still inquired about the whereabouts of Lingzu. In the end, my father killed Lingzu, but he didn't get the medicine king's order. At that time, the mother could no longer drag on. In desperation, the father went to the Golden Light Temple again to ask for help. When his father was rejected by Jinguang Temple again, his mother died. In anger, my father issued a death order to kill all the Buddhists he had the ability to kill.
(The fossil idea is very smooth, and occasionally it is almost because the work and rest time has not been arranged. Don't worry, there will be no such thing as irrigation and dragging plots.)
