Chapter 1409 Hell Is Empty
What's going on here, I went to the Western Paradise to learn the scriptures, I saw the Tathagata Buddha, but I didn't get the scriptures?
Is it because of Mr. Qin Hao, who confronted Buddhism again and again, and finally made Buddhism lose face, so that Buddhism hated Tang Dynasty and refused to give the scriptures?
Sure enough, what Tang Seng said next shocked everyone.
Tang Seng: "Because the poor monk feels that the Buddha is in his heart, the poor monk is the Buddha. Therefore, the Buddhist scriptures in Lingshan are unnecessary."
Li Shimin: "..."
A full court of civil and military officials: "..."
When Qin Hao traveled the world independently, he specially followed the Houtu sage to save the souls of the underworld.
Ksitigarbha finally fulfilled his wish, vowing not to become a Buddha if the hell is not empty.
Now, hell is empty, because all the wronged souls have been saved by Qin Hao and the Houtu sage.
Looking at the empty underworld, Ksitigarbha still felt very uncomfortable.
For so many years, guarding the underworld is to fulfill the wish.
At this time, his wish was fulfilled, but his heart was empty.
Because he doesn't know what to do...
······
Empress Dowager Xiao's mother and son led the troops to Shahe to join Brother Yeluxiu.
Empress Dowager Xiao was very happy to see Yeluxiu's victory.
Brother Yeluxiu asked Empress Dowager Xiao for orders to take advantage of the victory and chase after the defeated Song army to the bank of the Yellow River.
After Brother Yeluxiu came back, Empress Dowager Xiao found him:
"Marching and fighting in the hot summer is a taboo for military strategists. It is precisely because of this that the Song army was defeated by our army. Our army cannot repeat the mistakes of the Song army. Aijia ordered the troops to return to the court immediately, and wait until the autumn is clear and the soldiers are strong and strong. great cause!"
Brother Yeluxiu obeyed the suggestion and immediately ordered the class teacher to return to the court.
After returning to the country, Empress Dowager Xiao named Yeluxiu the Duke of Song, and at the same time changed Yelu Xiezhen as the commander-in-chief. She mobilized all the troops and prepared to go south again.
Cao Bin and others fled to Yizhou through untold hardships, counted the soldiers, and more than half of them were killed or injured.
Cao Bin had no choice but to plead guilty to Taizong.
Taizong was very annoyed after reading the memorial, so he ordered Cao Bin, Mi Xin, Cui Yanjin and others to return to Beijing; he also ordered Tian Zhongjin to guard Dingzhou, Pan Mei to guard Daizhou, and sent Yunzhou, Shuozhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou The people and soldiers of the four states moved to other places.
Before all arrangements were made properly, the Khitan general Yelu Xiezhen led an army of 100,000 to Anxi.
He Lingtu, the magistrate of Xiongzhou, chose his troops to fight because of his bravery.
The Khitan army came with great determination, how could He Lingtu be their opponent?
Sure enough, Song Jun was defeated and fled back to Xiongzhou desperately.
Yelu Xiezhen led an army to attack Weizhou, and He Lingtu asked Pan Mei for reinforcements.
After Pan Mei received the letter asking for help, she led the troops to join forces with He Lingtu, preparing to march again to fight.
When Song Jun arrived in Feihu County, he happened to meet Yelu Xiezhen. Unfortunately, Song Jun still couldn't fight and fled south.
The defenders of Hunyuan and Yingzhou all abandoned the city and fled to the south. Yelu Xiezhen took advantage of the momentum and entered Huanzhou, killing more than a thousand defenders.
After the disastrous defeat of Feihu, Pan Mei and others retreated to Daizhou and discussed sending troops to defend Yunzhou and Shuozhou.
Lieutenant General Yang Yejin remonstrated: "The Khitan army is strong now. We should not fight against them, and it is difficult to win the battle. The imperial court ordered us to protect the soldiers and civilians and move them to the interior.
Our army can start from Dashi Road, and first send people to secretly inform the guards of Yunzhou and Shuozhou. When our army leaves Daizhou, the soldiers and civilians in Yunzhou can flee. Then, when our army marches into Yingzhou again, the Khitan army will inevitably come to fight at this time, and the soldiers and civilians in Shuozhou can also take the opportunity to flee.
Our army then dispatched thousands of crossbowmen in Shijie Valley to display at the entrance of the valley, and then use cavalry to support them. At that time, the soldiers and civilians of the three states can be rescued, and the Khitan army will not be able to burn, kill, and loot the people of the Great Song Dynasty. "
Pan Mei couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Suddenly, the army guard Wang Yan flashed out from the side and loudly obstructed:
"Our army has tens of thousands of horses, but it is so cowardly. Isn't it a joke? In my opinion, our army can go directly from Yanmen Pass and go to fight with great fanfare. If we fight the Khitan in an upright manner, we may not be defeated. .”
Yang Ye shook his head after hearing this:
"Although the outcome is still hard to predict, our army has just experienced two disastrous defeats, and the morale of the Khitan army is strong. If we lose again, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Wang Yu sneered: "Mr. Yang has always been known for his bravery, but now he is timid. Could it be that he has two hearts?"
In the next few defeats, the Song army managed to escape to Chenjiagu, and watched helplessly for the reinforcements to come to the rescue.
Who knew that there was no one in Gu Zhong, Yang Ye couldn't help crying:
"This is a dead end! It doesn't help if you and my father and son died in battle. I received the favor of the country, but I was envied by the villain. There is no other way but to die for the country.
You two, go and find your own way of life, return to report to the emperor, and let him know that I was betrayed by the villain. If, thanks to the emperor's grace, my grievances are avenged, I will die in peace. "
Yang Yanyu cried loudly:
"A child is willing to fight to the death with his father, rather than live in an ignoble existence!"
Yang Ye shook his head.
Yang Yanzhao advised Yang Yanyu:
"Pan Mei has promised to come to support. Now the army has not reached Taniguchi, at least it has already left. You first protect your father and occupy Taniguchi. I will go to ask for reinforcements. If we can invite rescuers, we can all save the day. Woolen cloth!"
As soon as the father and son had an agreement, the Khitan soldiers rushed forward, firing ten thousand arrows, and the arrows rained down.
Yang Yanzhao fought desperately to fight a bloody path, and flew to ask for help.
Yang Ye and Yang Yanyu led the crowd in a bloody battle. Yang Yanyu was hit by dozens of arrows and fell to the ground in pain. She cried and said to her father:
"The child takes a step first, and can no longer protect his father."
When the word "pro" was mentioned, he vomited blood and died.
When Yang Ye saw Yang Yanyu died in battle, it was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart, and his heart ached terribly.
Immediately looking back at his men, there were less than a hundred people left.
Yang Ye said with tears: "You all have parents, wives and children, why should you die with me? Hurry up and escape!"
The soldiers also wept bitterly and said: "To live together is to live together, and to die together is to die together. How can we leave the general and escape alone?"
Yang Ye fought desperately again, and killed more than a hundred Khitan soldiers.
Helplessly, the war horse was injured and could not go further, so Yang Ye could only temporarily hide in the forest.
Unexpectedly, Khitan general Yelu Xida saw it, and shot an arrow, which hit the horse's belly, and the horse fell to the ground, and Yang Ye was also thrown out.
Xiao Talan, deputy of Khitan, rode his horse over and captured Yang Ye alive.
Yang Ye's subordinates were all killed in battle, and none of them survived.
The Khitan soldiers took Yang Ye to a plain. Yang Ye saw a stone tablet next to it with the words "Li Ling Tablet" written on it, and he couldn't help sighing:
"The emperor treated me well. I originally planned to kill thieves and defend the frontier to repay the emperor's favor. Now that I have been murdered by treacherous ministers, defeated and captured, what face do I have to live on? I would rather die for Yang Ye than live for Li Ling."
He slammed into the stele, his brain burst and he died instantly.
