Chapter 107: The Restoration of Youzhou (IV)

Wu Ji and Yelu Hongji's plan made sense. In Yanyun Land, Qiyun Club is famous for its great reputation and is the most powerful among the rebellious forces. With them there, it is inevitable to seize Youzhou.

Not to mention, Youzhou was an important place. In order to grasp the trends of the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty had many detailed works here. In order to attack Zhuozhou this time, Wu Ji and Wang Shao's detailed works here were more detailed works here. They used Feiying's letters to contact each other. As soon as Wu Ji's order arrived, the two forces would unite to capture Youzhou.

If you really want to take Youzhou, Yelu Hongji fled to Youzhou and was seeking death.

Unfortunately, Wu Ji and Yelu Hongji were both wrong. The one who seized Youzhou was not the heroes of Qiyun Club, not the Song Dynasty's detailed work, but someone else. Moreover, this person was a monk who no one expected, the host of Minzhong Temple, and the monk Zhiyan.

Minzhong Temple is the Fayuan Temple in Beijing now. It is located in the south of Youzhou City. It has many buildings and is very majestic.

There is a stele in front of the hall, with lines of characters engraved on it, each with gold hooks and silver strokes, which is very imposing. In front of the stele is a monk standing tall and strong, wearing a monk's robe, solemn and solemn, with bright eyes staring at the handwriting on the stele, and his eyebrows frown together.

This person is on the presidency of Minzhong Temple, Abbot Zhiyan.

"I've seen the abbot." A little novice came quickly and greeted him. He asked in confusion: "Dare you ask the abbot, why do you always look at this monument?"

"This monument has a kind of momentum, with a dragon soaring and a tiger lying, and extraordinary." Abbot Zhiyan looked at the little novice monk and explained his doubts.

"Momentum? Why didn't I see it?" The little novice monk was puzzled, blinking his eyes, looking at the monument, with a confused look on his face.

"You are thinking about this line of words." Zhiyan pointed to the words on the monument.

"The Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty conquered Liaodong, and the *** passed away. He remembered that the loyal ministers and filial sons died in the king's affairs, so he built this temple and recommended blessings." The little novice monk's clear voice sounded, and he read out a line of words, but he still didn't understand: "Abbot, I still don't understand."

"Many people don't understand." Zhiyan sighed and said, "This monument was built after Emperor Taizong of Tang's Eastern Expedition to recommend blessings to the fallen soldiers. At that time, the Tang army's military commands were directed, and the Tang Dynasty's orders were sent, no one dared not to follow it. That was a prosperous era! Now, Youzhou is under the iron hoofs of the alien race, and the people are suffering. Only when you look at this monument again can you realize that the aura of dragons and tigers is extraordinary!"

"I understand! The abbot misses the past." The little shaky monk tilted his head and said, "But we are monks, we jump out of the three realms and are not in the five elements. Abbot, you are obsessed with it!"

"Haha!" Zhiyan let out a long list of cheerful laughters and said, "Although we monks jump out of the three realms and are not in the five elements, we did not say that we should forget our ancestors? Thinking of our ancestors, fighting south and north, and bowing to the top of the world, how heroic and heroic it is! Now, the battle between Song and Liao has begun, and the outcome is about to be decided. Should we monks do something for our ancestors?"

Speaking of this, Zhiyan put his hands together, Gao Xuan Buddha's name: "Eliminating demons and defending the way is also the compassion of my Buddha!"

At this moment, a cry of eagle came, and a flying eagle fell from the sky and descended on Zhiyan's shoulder, making a sharp sound of eagle hooves, and a pair of sharp beaks kept pecking at Zhiyan's bald head.

Zhiyan stroked the eagle's head, untied a copper tube from his claws, took out the cloth inside, and opened it, and couldn't help but feel shocked: "Oh my God! The fight is over so soon! This is too fast!"

"Abbot, what have you finished fighting?" the little shark asked curiously.

"You go and call all the senior brothers and brothers, and say I have a decree to give them." Zhiyan did not answer, but ordered, stared at the cloth in his hand, and smiled and said, "This is a good opportunity, and you must not miss it! I asked Junior Brother Zhigao to go to Zhuozhou to observe. It was really wise. The news was sent back so quickly."

After saying that, he quickly walked into his monk's room. When he appeared again, he was already wearing a monk's robe, hanging a ring knife on his waist, and holding a Zen staff.

The monks received the order from the little monk and rushed over. When they saw Zhiyan's outfit, they were surprised and thought to themselves that this was not going out to travel around the world, so why did they have to be fully armed?

After seeing the ceremony, Zhiyan waved his hand and asked the monks to stand in front of the stone tablet, pointing at the stone tablet and said, "You all know the origin of this stone tablet, so I won't say much. Emperor Taizong of Tang went east to ***, returned to Youzhou, and issued an order to build Minzhong Temple. After a short period of three hundred years, Youzhou had undergone earth-shaking changes. The Khitans seized Youzhou, acted as a blessing, oppressed the people, bullied men and women, and were rampant. The people were suffering. You have eliminated demons and defended the way many times and restored equality to all living beings!"

It is common for the Khitans to act powerfully in Youzhou. There are endless things to bully men and dominate women, which makes people angry. These monks often care about these things on weekdays. After hearing Zhiyan's words, they couldn't help but resonate with each other, and they shouted loudly in unison: "Amitabha! My Buddha is merciful!"

"Although we are monks, we jump out of the three realms and are not in the five elements, we cannot refuse our ancestors!" Zhiyan continued to speak and said, "If we forget our ancestors' past, we will forget our ancestors and are not worthy of being Buddhist disciples. Now, the king has defeated the Khitans in Zhuozhou..."

"Amitabha!" The news was so scary that the monks were shocked and shouted loudly in unison: "Mencius will not lie, abbot, do you think this is true?"

"The monks do not lie, this matter is absolutely true!" Zhiyan replied loudly: "When Yelu Hongji led his army to Zhuozhou, I will ask your uncle Zhigao to go to Zhuozhou to find out the news. He sent back the news that Yelu Hongji lost a great loss and only brought three thousand pishi troops out. The rest of the Liao army had been wiped out by the royal army!"

"Oh my God!" This result was so shocking that the monks forgot the noisy Buddha's name and called him directly.

"Wu Ji, the commander of Wu Du, is leading the army to hunt down Yelu Hongji. In the next day, Yelu Hongji will arrive in Youzhou." Zhiyan's eyes rolled, and his light burst into flames, saying, "I will lead you to capture Youzhou now. If Yelu Hongji dares to come, we must capture him alive and offer it to the Song Dynasty."

This decision was amazing, and the monks were petrified directly.

Monks do not care about secular affairs, so they will not participate in such military and national affairs. They cannot be shocked.

"Look at this stone tablet and think about our ancestors. Do you ask yourself if you should do something?" Zhiyan's voice suddenly turned high and he shouted loudly.

"Should!"

His shouting was like enlightenment, awakening the monks.

Monks are also human beings, ancestors, patriotism, and Chinese men. Who can refuse this situation?

So, a group of monks carried ring knives on their waists and Zen staff in their hands. Under the leadership of Zhiyan, they first chanted the Buddha's name in front of the stone tablet, and then left the temple, and the prelude to the capture of Youzhou began.

Youzhou is very large and covers a vast area. It is a prosperous place. If it were in normal years, the transactions here would be particularly prosperous, and the deals were very lively. Although it could not compare to Bianjing, it was also the most prosperous city in the Liao Kingdom.

At that time, people came and went, and the hawking sounds were heard, and the bargaining sounds were constant. How lively it was.

But now, because of the large number of mobilizations of the Liao army, the place has suffered a war, and it is depressed, with few pedestrians on the streets, deserted and deserted, and there is no prosperous scene of the past.

People hide at home, one is to stay in winter and the other is to avoid disaster.

Since Yelu Hongji decided to attack the Song Dynasty, countless Liao troops gathered in Youzhou. These Liao troops bullied men and women, were domineering and domineering, and did many bad things, which made the people worried and afraid. Although the Liao army had already left and went to Zhuozhou, the people were still scared and no one dared to come out.

"What a great prosperous land on earth, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye!" Zhiyan saw it in his eyes, felt deeply moved, and shouted loudly: "Amitabha! Dear donors, I am Zhiyan of Minzhong Temple. I just got the news that the king had defeated the Liao army in Zhuozhou and was chasing the north! The Liao Emperor commanded Wu Ji and Wu Du to chase and kill him, and had no way to go to heaven and into the earth!"

His voice was loud, like thunder, and it spread from afar. The people nearby could hear it clearly, and they were all shocked. The news was too shocking.

The people of Youzhou knew about the battle between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. According to their thoughts, the battle would take a long time. However, they did not expect that the Liao Kingdom was defeated in such a short time.

And it was a big defeat. Even the Emperor of Liao was chasing Wu Ji and had no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth. It can be seen how miserable the Liao Kingdom was defeated!

At that time, the monks had a very high status, and no one doubted Zhiyan's words. Don't say that this is true, even if Zhiyan was telling a lie, he would believe it without doubt because of the monks' status in the minds of the people.

"The Liao Emperor led three thousand Pishi troops to escape, and the rest of the Liao army were wiped out by the royal army!"

Just as the people were shocked, Zhiyan threw another bombshell, which surprised the people and talked a lot, and they were sobbing!

"That's great! Liaogou finally lost! Still defeated so miserably!"

"Woooooo! The sky is open! Liao Gou is finally in trouble!"

"Oh my God, you finally opened your eyes. After more than a hundred years, Liaogou is finally at a desperate situation!"

"The day we have turned over! After more than a hundred years, we can finally return to the arms of China!"

The people rushed out of the house, telling each other about their own sufferings and looking forward to a bright future. Speaking of suffering, their sufferings are even if they use the water of the three rivers and the four seas to grind ink, and they cannot tell if it is. Over the past hundred years of accumulation is really too much!

Now, the hard days have finally come to an end. The Liao Kingdom suffered such a crushing defeat. It was only a matter of time before the Song Dynasty took back the land of Yanyun. They could return to the embrace of China, with blood connected and brothers reunited. Who would not be happy?

Under the leadership of Zhiyan, a group of monks spread the good news everywhere, and more and more people joined in. The number of people increased, and soon, hundreds of people were there. After a while, there were thousands of people, and in the end there were tens of thousands and tens of thousands.

"Seize Youzhou! Welcome the King's Army!" There are more and more people in Youzhou, and the time is ripe, Zhiyan yells.

"Seize Youzhou!"

"Welcome the King!"
