Chapter 391 Miracle! [Subscribe]
The message was sent by the Taoist Master through the totem dragon.
On that day, the Taoist Master left Ye City and headed west quickly. He soon sensed the totem dragon that was catching up with him.
The two rushed all the way to Kunlun Mountain.
It has been just over ten days since Dao Zun left.
He ran faster than a horse and almost flew.
With the help of the Buddha's relic, Dao Zun had some vague sense of where Buddhists were active in Kunlun Mountain.
He had just found the Buddhist when he was delivering the message to Cao Cao.
……
In India, Azima is an inheritable title.
Every generation of Ajima enjoys a revered status among Buddhists.
Within Buddhism, Ajima represents purity and firmness.
He has been studying Buddha for many years, exploring the traces of "God" left in the world.
Buddhists have been active in the Kunlun Mountains, searching for a "miracle" for several generations, for nearly two centuries.
In fact, the remains of God had already been found.
But I can't get in.
They tried every possible means but failed to gain anything.
This generation's Ajimo traveled thousands of miles and came to Kunlun in person.
He also brought with him the Ananda Agama Sutra, a sacred text of the Hinayana Buddhism.
The contemporary Azimo is only forty-seven years old.
He is the third person who can inherit the throne of Ajima in his early forties, seven hundred years since the birth of Buddha Shakyamuni.
At this moment, he was watching the miracle before him.
It was a mountain wall covered with ice and snow.
The entire mountain wall is actually a towering stone gate.
Every time he looked at this stone door, Ajimo firmly believed that this was a miracle left behind by a being like Buddha, and it was absolutely beyond human power to accomplish.
The entire door has stood for eternity, like a barrier separating immortals from mortals.
Although Buddhists discovered this door, they were unable to open it.
In desperation, they used the most primitive method and spent decades digging a tunnel on the side of the mountain before they were able to enter the mountain.
Perhaps because of the wrong way of entering, the Buddhists suffered heavy losses in this mountain.
But this time Ajima brought the Hinayana scriptures.
He was tall and thin, wearing a long robe, and walked barefoot in the dark ravine of Kunlun Mountain, but he did not feel cold at all.
A warm power flowed in his body, and his whole body emitted a faint halo, as if he was made of gold.
He had been staring at the Gate of Miracles in front of him for more than half an hour.
There were two followers beside him, looking respectful:
"Respected Ajimo, it's time for us to go in. The other disciples are waiting, waiting for you to personally fulfill our long-cherished wish for hundreds of years.
We have suffered too much loss in this land.
The followers who spread the doctrine abroad were also slaughtered by the rising power of the Eastern Country. "
“The people of that Eastern country are as bloody as the Brahmins.
We need the divine being behind this door to help us."
Azimo's voice slowed down:
"The secret scroll says that the team sent by the Eastern Emperor (Emperor Wu) not only found this place, but his people also found something here and brought the 'divine object' back to the East.
How did they get in?”
The Buddhists nearby said:
"This door may require a certain fixed object or a corresponding method to open it, so that it is safer to enter."
Ajimo closed his eyes and pondered: "Okay, let's go in and take a look."
He took a step forward.
At this moment, a hand reached out from the void.
This hand was as fast as thunder, covering the sky and the earth, leaving Azimo no room to dodge or time to react.
A palm strike came down, strangling all life.
Just as Ajimo was thinking of chanting the name of Buddha to protect himself from the palm strike, it was too late.
That palm landed on his forehead.
puff!
The golden light flowing outside Azimo's body was shattered by a palm.
The life force in his body was also destroyed by a palm strike, killing him.
The two believers beside him were also invaded by the force and fell to the ground.
Cao Cao's totem dragon shrank its body to about ten feet long and appeared not far away. It looked at the Taoist Master who revealed his traces after making the move.
The death of these Indian monks was too sloppy.
The power of Dao Zun is completely at a crushing level.
Not to mention Azimo was not ready, even Cao Cao was not ready.
I thought there would be some fun to watch.
After all, Azimo was glowing all over and standing barefoot in the snow, which looked quite impressive.
You have to know that the altitude here is very high, it is covered with snow all year round, there is no one living here, and the temperature is very low.
Standing here barefoot, he is obviously a ruthless person.
I didn't expect that Dao Zun would take action without any contest.
He was slapped to death.
With the help of the totem dragon, Cao Cao looked in the direction that Ajimo had been looking at before, and his heart was shocked.
The huge gate, which is a hundred feet high... is almost the same as the Xiantai Gate he saw in Tomb No. 4.
Dao Zun looked up and was also stunned.
Is there a second Xiantai Gate in this world? !
"I want to go in and have a look."
Dao Zun's eyes burst into astonishing light.
"Behind this door is probably the legendary Kunlun Ruins."
----
"Kunlun Ruins? Even the official history seems to have mentioned that Emperor Wu met the Queen Mother of the West in his later years, and the Queen Mother of the West is in Kunlun."
Cao Cao withdrew his thoughts and stayed in the study.
He thought of an interesting idea and prepared to push Dao Zun to implement it.
With Dao Zun's practice and Cao Wei's resource support, he will specialize in dealing with matters beyond the conventional levels in the future.
He is the most suitable candidate.
The next day, Cao Cao led his troops out of Yecheng and headed west with his family.
Yin also accompanied them.
Cao Cao went out not just to fight.
He is active and likes to do things himself.
In history, Boss Cao personally participated in almost all major wars and conquered all the territories by himself.
After leaving Yecheng, he surveyed agriculture, water conservancy, roads and other conditions along the way.
In early July, you can often see people watering the plants in the fields, and the crops are thriving.
In many places, people are running around, busy building buildings.
Cao Wei was now gradually accumulating surplus grain, so it needed to increase storage construction to store food and strengthen Cao Wei's ability to resist famine.
A few years ago, when the world was in chaos, the first things to be hit were the warehouses in various places.
Most of the government warehouses were completely destroyed.
After Xi Zhicai conducted a census of grain reserves in various places, he proposed rebuilding the warehouses.
Right now he is focusing on matters related to warehousing and grain preparation.
So he didn't go along this time.
Cao Cao let his wives and concubines go first while he checked the situation in various places.
When his family approached Hexi, he was still in Sili Prefecture.
It was at this time that the first direct war between the Great Wei and the Central Xianbei broke out at Beiguan!
Summer is a time when grasslands are rich in grass and water, and when horses and sheep are grazed.
Therefore, in summer, few northern nomadic tribes would go south to raise troops.
They often raid in the autumn and then return to the grasslands to spend the winter.
But this situation changed during the period of Tan Shihuai, who led the Xianbei to unify the grassland.
Tan Shihuai did the opposite. Unexpectedly, he marched south in midsummer and looted the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Why did Tan Shihuai break the rules and send troops in midsummer?
Because he invented a new tactic.
He gathered together all the remaining members of the tribes that had gone to war and gave them unified grazing.
Women, children, and the elderly were herding in the rear, harvesting grass, and then distributing it all together.
This not only saves manpower and material resources, but also rationally allocates labor, so as not to miss the summer harvest and cause losses, and can also draw on young and middle-aged people to form a surprise force against the outside world.
This time, the Xianbei people invaded the Han people and used similar tactics.
They allocated resources efficiently and marched their troops southward.
His army was stationed in Zhong Xianbei and he sent out a light cavalry of more than 20,000 people to launch an offensive against Youbeiping County and Liaoxi County in the northeast of Han territory.
The timing and route they chose were all carefully calculated.
From Baidan, east of Youbeiping County, they moved diagonally along the Rushui River to attack the Wei defense line.
The defense line in this area is relatively weak. Not only is there no Great Wall to protect it, but due to the terrain, it is not conducive to large-scale garrison.
It was also here that the Wuhuan cavalry used the terrain to try to stop the Wei army.
When the Xianbei attacked, Zhang Xiu, who was stationed in the area, attacked resolutely and engaged in a confrontation with the Xianbei cavalry.
But the Xianbei had anticipated that Cao's army would come to their aid from Youbeiping County.
They set up an ambush along the way, trying to stop Zhang Xiu's troops.
However, the Xianbei people did not expect that Cao Wei was prepared for the multiple fogs they had released in advance to cover up their southward march.
Zhang Xiu was in public, leading a team.
Le Jin's troops were following secretly.
The two sides ambushed, counter-ambushed, and counter-ambushed again. Each side had its own calculations, and the fighting was very fierce.
The vanguards of both sides engaged in battle, and neither side gained an advantage.
The troops dispatched by the Xianbei were more numerous and more flexible than the cavalry of Cao Wei in the area.
They immediately changed their tactics, frequently probing the northern line to find weak points in the defense, but no longer advancing deeper.
He fought very cautiously, running away as soon as he was touched.
The two sides fought for several days, and in early July, the Xianbei troops suddenly launched a second large-scale attack from Lulong Pass in western Liaoning.
They first sent out the entire army, and then dispersed southward in small groups of cavalry, passed through Lulong Pass, entered the Feiru area in western Liaoning, and headed southward towards Lingzhi (He) Fang (north).
Judging from the map, the north-south depth of the Wei Dynasty here is very short, less than two hundred kilometers.
Once it is cut off, the area east of Liaoxi will be divided.
Liaodong County and Buyeo would also be cut off to the east by the Xianbei, and cut off from the Wei Dynasty.
Then the Xianbei could turn around and take back the Eastern Xianbei if the Wei was unable to provide support.
The operational intent is clear.
However, as soon as the Xianbei people moved south from Lingzhi, they suffered a sudden blow.
A heavy, brutal, and defenseless blow.
The Xianzhen Camp led by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun was just south of Lingzhi and was heading north to meet the enemy.
Why were Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's troops in western Liaoning?
The two had just withdrawn from Jiangdong in mid-June.
Judging from the distance, even if the entire army rode on thousand-mile horses, it would be impossible to reach Liaoxi in early July.
The distance is so long that, from the southern tip of China to the northeast corner, even if the army marches at full speed, it will take at least one and a half months.
This is the case if everything goes well and Cao Wei has completed the repair of part of the canal line, so the canal can be used for passage, greatly increasing the speed.
But there is indeed a route that can transport troops to western Liaoning in more than 20 days.
Use the Da Wei ship and take the sea route.
Zhang Liao and others came out from Jiangdong, headed north, and entered Xuzhou.
From Xuzhou, we boarded the Wei ship and traveled along the coastline, heading north unimpeded. When we reached the Bohai Bay, we landed in Linpu County of Liaoxi County, less than a hundred miles away, where the Xianbei troops were heading south.
The Han Dynasty was seriously lacking in the concept of naval warfare.
There is absolutely no sea on the grassland.
The Xianbei were completely unprepared for Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who came to kill them by sea!
The Xianbei light cavalry that penetrated into western Liaoning encountered the heavy cavalry of the Xianzhen Camp and encountered an extremely brutal resistance!
Lu Su had also been at the Xuzhou Shipyard before and then came to western Liaoning.
Cao Cao appointed him as military advisor, with Zhang Liao as commander and Gao Shun as deputy commander, to lead the Xianying Camp.
The order given to them was to defeat the Xianbei soldiers!
