Chapter 283: Youzhou Spring

“??”
Gu Liubai was stunned for a long time.
This time he felt the energy that caused his forehead to swell and the sound inside to vibrate, and then he had some understanding.
"That means that when you first met me, you realized that the method I practiced actually contained the Great Dream Sutra. When you formally talked with me, you were actually talking to me, but I didn't notice it at all."
"So I have such a poor understanding?" Gu Liubai was immediately ashamed.
Master Xuanqing also commented seriously, "I'm pretty stupid anyway."
Gu Liubai was speechless.
"Then can I significantly improve my spiritual practice when I fight with those who practice supernatural powers?"
"Yes." Master Xuanqing's answer was concise and concise.
Gu Liubai pondered for a moment and said, "You have been watching Chang'an for so long. Can you not escape your sight in the practice of Fallen Contemplation? Then you should actually know which ones are Fallen Contemplation in Chang'an City?"
Master Xuanqing said, "I won't tell you even if I know."
Gu Liubai looked at Master Xuanqing. He really admired Master Xuanqing's way of conversation.
Master Xuanqing also gave him a face, and at least explained, "As a pure spectator, I am still different from being a tool to become a certain party. I don't think there will be any benefits to provoking Li or depravity."
Gu Liubai was happy, "Master Xuanqing, what do you mean is, of course you can see who is the Depraved View Yin Daozi, but you can't tell me. Also, it seems that Li and Depraved View are not the same thing. Depraved View should not be under the control of Li now."
Master Xuanqing smiled faintly, "You suddenly became a little smarter again."
Gu Liubai pondered, "Master Xuanqing, then you should know that Princess Huaizhen is the Depraved Guanyin Daozi?"
Master Xuanqing said in surprise, "What, Princess Huaizhen is the same? I don't know."
Gu Liubai was stunned, and then saw the smile in Master Xuanqing's eyes. He immediately reacted and said speechlessly: "Master, are you lying to others again?"
"You can joke with me, why can't I?" Master Xuanqing smiled.
"Come on, I'll just practice it."
Gu Liubai rubbed his head with both hands, sensed the aura he had when communicating with Master Xuanqing at this time, and then said seriously, "Master Xuanqing, do you have any guesses about the emperor deliberately letting Princess Huaizhen practice the Depravity Contemplation Method?"
Master Xuanqing did not hesitate at all and said simply, "The Li family's direct lineage seems to be unable to form spiritual supernatural powers at all."
Gu Liubai immediately learned from it, "Was that third prince's practice of the Yin-Yang Tianyu Sutra also an attempt by Li's clan to form spiritual supernatural powers in the Li family?"
Master Xuanqing nodded and said, "If you rely on guessing, then I guess that too. But I can tell you that Li didn't care about spiritual supernatural powers before. As long as their true qi method is cultivated to the eighth level, they are extremely domineering."
"In the past, I didn't like spiritual supernatural powers, so why did I like it in this generation?" Gu Liubai felt that this statement was in line with the inherent cognition of the fifth prince, so he felt that there was something wrong. "This generation of Li family is quite capable of giving birth, and there is no urgent enemy to deal with it. Why did they suddenly become interested in this supernatural power method?"
"I don't know." Master Xuanqing said that he didn't know, but it was very straightforward. "At least the Li family before this generation did not have any attempts in this regard. They just chose some family members who prohibit marriage to maintain the stability of the Li family's direct bloodline."
“??”
Gu Liubai is very energetic now. He found that he had to carefully ponder any of Master Xuanqing's words, and there must be deep meaning in it.
For example, although he didn't know this sentence at once, he obviously heard the clue, "By the way, Li's family only intermarried with those families, which means that they intermarried with those families. The cultivation talent of Li's direct line can be guaranteed. They are all strong in muscles and bones, and they have been as strong as a bull since childhood. Then why do they want to intermarry with Pei in this generation? It is because the third prince practiced the Yin-Yang Tianyou Sutra, and gave him up as a test subject? But it is not right, and this trick cannot be easily opened because of this. Could it be that their blood talent itself has started to be wrong in this generation, so they began to think about the matter of this magical power?"
Master Xuanqing said, "I don't know."
Gu Liubai nodded.
He had adapted a little.
Master Xuanqing said he didn't know, but he didn't deny that there was a possibility.
After thinking for a while, he continued to explore Master Xuanqing's words, "I heard from Princess Huaizhen that the emperor suffered a lot of injuries and was cultivated in the Forbidden Garden of Mount Li. It would take seven days before he could return to the court meeting."
Master Xuanqing said, "Lin Fu's sword is not something that ordinary people cannot survive, and it is normal for them to be injured."
This sentence flashed through Gu Liubai's mind.
At first, he felt nothing was wrong, but Gu Liubai was about to speak, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he frowned immediately, "Master Xuanqing, you mean that the emperor is not an ordinary person."
Master Xuanqing glanced at Gu Liubai, meaning that you understand it yourself, don’t tell the public that I just said it.
Gu Liubai felt more suspicious in his heart, and he thought about it seriously and said, "Will Lin Fu's sword affect his cultivation or his life span?"
Master Xuanqing glanced at him, "Not how is the emperor like this year? I guess it will be like this next year and the next year."
If someone else said this to Gu Liubai, it would be fine if Gu Liubai had heard it, but if Master Xuanqing said this, he chewed it carefully, he felt that there was a big problem again.
How is this year? It will be similar next year and after.
"Master Xuanqing, do you mean that this sword will affect his cultivation for at least two years?" Gu Liubai said this, and suddenly felt that there was another meaning, "I also asked about my life span. As a result, you said how this year is, and it will be similar next year and the next year. The life span of this emperor is not moving? Can the method he practices make him extremely long?"
When Master Xuanqing heard what he said, he waved his hand immediately, obviously giving away the guests.
Grass!
Gu Liubai got down the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and suddenly felt that this trip was not in vain.
The final meaning of Master Xuanqing is clearly that this trip has been said enough, and he will simply stand on the boat Gu Liubai.
But what Gu Liubai couldn't understand at this time was why he didn't stand?
After talking to Master Xuanqing for a while, he stopped in the carriage outside the temple, and another seal of note was already placed in front of the fifth prince.
This secret note was sent by Princess Huaizhen.
"My sister probably didn't work so hard to do her father's affairs."
The fifth prince looked at Gu Liubai who was sitting next to him, first complained about this, and then continued, "You can't say anything, the people in Tianming Tower have all gone to Youzhou."
Gu Liubai quickly finished reading this secret note, and he was secretly shocked by Princess Huaizhen and Li's efficiency.
The people from Tianming Tower mentioned a word, set off from Mingyue Pavilion to come here, and after talking to Master Xuanqing, Princess Huaizhen's investigation report on these people came.
Obviously, Li has always had some control over the movements of these people.
These people from Tianming Tower are trying to allocate money, grain and personnel to Youzhou, to completely stabilize the situation in Youzhou and to solve the bandits in Youzhou.
"The world is not chaotic before Youzhou will be in chaos. These people are happy to spend money to stabilize the situation in Youzhou at this time." Gu Liubai easily saw the intentions of these people. "These people also started to figure out the Li family's intentions, and in the process of helping the Li family stabilize the strategic location of Youzhou, they cultivated some of their own forces. They went to the near and the far, and did not rob the immediate interests of Chang'an. The plans of these people are not bad."
...
Duke Pei and some important military figures must first stabilize the military towns around Chang'an, so as not to fluctuate too much this time and cause the military town rebellion.
After the death of the Jiedu governors who were recruited by Li to Chang'an, Fengxiang and other vassal states were destined to rebel, and Li had to rush to deal with it.
If a place like Youzhou is taken advantage of the situation and attacked by both sides of the enemy country outside the pass, the Tang Dynasty's border troops will be in danger. If the border troops are defeated, the Youzhou rebels may be able to advance straight into the heart of the empire.
So the actions of people like Tianming Tower must be pleasing.
As long as they can effectively help Li stabilize the places in Youzhou, they can cultivate some powerful figures in the army, which is nothing to Li.
Fahrenheit, who is in Youzhou, has always been very reliable in doing things.
Hua Canglang's father's style seems very unique in the Tang Dynasty.
First of all, he doesn't fool anyone.
What should I do is what I say, I will definitely help. If I can’t help, it will definitely work hard, but I really can’t do it.
When facing the benefits raised by the military, other military governors have to wait until the benefits are implemented before moving, or some have only given three points of their strength when they get the benefits.
But Youzhou Fahrenheit is different.
Often, when I hear that a certain party wants to give me benefits, he will do something first and give me some sweetness to try.
Before the New Year, I just heard something that Chang'an might support Youzhou's bandit suppression after the New Year. The Youzhou military had carefully planned it. The allocated money and grain had just started, and the Youzhou military's New Year offensive against the bandits had already begun.
People in Chang'an are still waiting for the Lantern Festival, and the Youzhou military has suppressed seven bandits on the hills.
The bandits celebrate the New Year too!
In the past twenty years, which bandit has seen the Tang army launch a large-scale bandit suppression before the Lantern Festival?
Not once.
Even if the fat pork during the Chinese New Year was eaten, the bandits who were blinded by lard felt that the Youzhou military seemed to be trying to kill them this time.
Some bandits who usually don’t like each other at all also quickly linked up.
But at this time, the first batch of military aid from the Youzhou military had arrived.
In addition to the practitioners whom the Youzhou military had been asking for but never wanted, accompanied by the convoys of dozens of practitioners who arrived at the Youzhou military base, there were also a group of powerful crossbows that did not affect their use even in heavy rain!
The border troops of the Tang Dynasty suffered several losses in this regard.
So many bandits in Youzhou also used bamboo and wood to make water cannons, which was to ride the arrows when the arrows were fired.
Now that these practitioners and powerful crossbows arrived, the Youzhou military instantly gained confidence. However, what the Youzhou military did not expect was that the mountaintops where the bandits were originally entrenched was empty, but the casualties of the Youzhou military increased in the next place.
It seemed that there was an incomprehensible force that quickly quickly twisted hundreds of bandits in Youzhou area together and turned into a rebel that should not be underestimated.
...
In the early morning, several shrill sounds of breaking through the air were like sharp flutes, tearing through the silence of the mountains and forests.
Dozens of sergeants in the camp just started burying pots and making rice. When they heard such alarm sounds, they instantly scattered, looking for cover to avoid arrows.
However, these several arrows were already crooked and weak when they were more than ten steps away from the edge of the camp, falling weakly to the ground without causing any damage.
But the faces of these sergeants in the camp became even more ugly.
These arrows are used to show off more than distance measurement.
According to their past experience, the number of enemy troops is often far greater than that of them and they have formed a siege, so they will use this cat-playing and mouse-like means to dismantle their fighting spirit.
Sure enough, smoke and dust spread out in the wilderness on both sides, and hundreds of cavalry on both sides formed a formation.
The riders on the horses were wearing various clothes, some people wore animal skins, some people wore paper clothes, and most were wearing merchant fur coats.
These are obviously bandits, seemingly chaotic, but these people seem to be strong and powerful, as if there is no one who can make up for the numbers.
After forming a siege on both sides, the more than 200 bandits were not in a hurry to launch an attack. Dozens of them made whistling after roar, causing chaos.
The sound only took more than a dozen breaths, and most of the soldiers in the camp had sweat on their foreheads.
This psychological pressure can even cause their physical strength to be quickly lost without realizing it.
Their eyes all fell on an ordinary camp.
At this time, the tent swayed, and the figure inside was much larger than that of ordinary people. So when I got out of the tent, it didn't seem to be drilled out, but it seemed to be shattering the tent and squeezed out.
"Xu Tuibei?"
Looking at the figure like a mountain of flesh, the bandits on both sides were stunned, and those who kept whistling and creating momentum unconsciously stopped.
Xu Tuibe's reputation is really a bit big.
Not only in the battle of Heishawa, this man won the reputation of killing the god, but in more than ten battles during this period, Xu Tuibei and the general named An Zhilu under his seat also became the shadows in the hearts of many lucky people who escaped from the mountain villages.
This figure like a mountain is so recognizable.
Moreover, the disdainful look around in this military formation, except for the legendary Xu Tuibei, it seems that there is no second in the Youzhou military.
But how could this person be in this team that transports grain?
Xu Tuibei is now just looking at both sides with his hands on his back, without saying a word, but the bandits on both sides are already filled with ominous premonitions.
Xu Tuibei looked at the bandits who were still aggressive a moment ago, and a sarcastic sneer gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In his eyes, these bandits were dead.
But the fact that these bandits were able to arrive here at this time only shows two points. First, many people in the Youzhou military were indeed bribed by these bandits.
The bandits have been in constant trouble over the past twenty years. I am afraid that some borers in the Youzhou military made money from both ends, one took money from Chang'an to suppress the bandits, and the other was from the hands of these bandits.
Another point is that there must be some big shots behind the scenes of these bandits, and they can integrate so many bandits so quickly. The big shots' business in Youzhou is obviously not overnight, and the people who come to rule these bandits themselves are by no means ordinary people.
Xu Tuibei felt that he might not have such ability.
But Xu Tuibei was sure that none of the generals under Hua Huaixian and Hua Cangming were better than him.
Now it seems that this is no longer a matter of suppressing bandits, but a quelling of chaos and a confrontation between the two armies.
Only by finding out the capable people who ruled the 20,000 to 30,000 bandits behind them and getting rid of this person can we win this war.
The sneering sneer on the corner of his mouth gradually widened, and his face became ferocious.
"Babys, I'll give you a chance to survive."
He looked at the bandits on both sides and smiled grimly, "If anyone can tell me who is directing you now, I will keep his head on his neck and keep his lower body food and clothing."
"Grass!"
After Xu Tui's grim smile disappeared, the bandits on both sides were silent for several breaths before one of them suddenly screamed, "They all have two arms and heads. Even if so many of us cannot kill them, can't they escape? He has such a big legs, can he catch up with all of us?"
Xu Tui was carrying so many people, so he found the person who made a sound as soon as possible.
This is a thin man in black.
When the black clothes were blown by the wind, the vaguely outlined edges and corners showed that the person was wearing an inner armor.
The face is not clear, because the face is covered with black cloth.
"Hahaha!"
Xu Tuibei suddenly burst into laughter.
He didn't say anything to respond, but just reached out and pulled it.
A cold light flashed in the pile of hay.
A huge strange knife made people breathe suddenly.
"Baby, then you should die first. Don't just shout there, let others come up and work hard."
He looked at the man in black, holding the huge sword in one hand, and pointed at the head of the man in black.
"Shoot the arrow! Shoot them to death!"
The man in black felt fear when he felt the war horses under him. He didn't dare to come forward, but just roared wildly.
At this moment, the forest behind them moved.
When they passed through these mountains and forests, they did not find any enemy hiding. However, at this time, accompanied by falling leaves, in addition to the constantly flashing figures, the cold outline of the crossbow cart even appeared.
The cold light shining on the tips of a large number of arrows was like the dense cold stars in the night sky, making a scream of life-seeking in an instant.
Aggressively...
The dull impact of countless sharp objects entering the flesh sounded instantly!
Xu Tuibei looked carefully for a moment and was sure that there was not even a practitioner worthy of his attack. He inserted Mo Dao on the ground with his backhand, and then walked towards the place where the man in black was carrying his hands.
When he walked to the man in black, a swordsman in blue shirt was already standing beside the man in black.
The man in black had already taken off his right arm. Even if he barely stood, his body was twitching.
"Is it a Hu person who integrates you, who is a mountainous man?" Xu Tuibei walked to the man in black, looked at his distorted face because of fear, and said calmly, "Don't be afraid, as long as you are honest enough, I don't care what you have called me before. Even if you lose one arm, there is still one arm left for the rest of your life to use."
