In 1127 AD, the Northern Song Dynasty fell. Immediately, the ninth imperial prince, Zhao Gou, ascended the throne in Shangqiu amidst widespread anticipation, inheriting the Song imperial line and r...
Many conscripted laborers gathered under the wooden board beside the camp gate. Although a scholar who had accompanied the army took the opportunity to publicize the notice when it was posted there, the laborers only knew that Prince Han had won another victory. They still didn't understand what happened in detail, and they didn't dare to ask the scholars. So they naturally waited for the military officials to leave and let Monk Dahui explain it.
In early winter, Monk Dahui, wearing a tattered hat, stood with a few strong monks at the side of the door with their sleeves rolled up. After reading it about twice, he was completely overjoyed... Others might not know, but a person of his cultural level must know that Han Shizhong's victory was not a big deal, but the key was that he directly forced the Jin army to retreat to both sides of the Fen River, and the Jin army at Chenguanxing also retreated directly, and the Song army took advantage of the situation to press forward... It was obvious that Hezhong Prefecture had become a possession of the Song Dynasty.
In other words, this should be one of the strategic victories of language in the court reports.
All in all, Emperor Zhao's hastily launched Northern Expedition had paid off.
However, looking back, when Monk Dahui wanted to explain to these civilians, he was speechless for a moment, because he really didn't know how to talk about geography and strategy to these people.
You said that Han Shizhong won the battle and gained a lot, they may understand that, but how could they understand that taking advantage of the situation to burn the mountain and force the Jin army to retreat was the most crucial result?
So, after thinking for a long time, the monk finally gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and used his best jingle to explain to the people under the list:
"The divine arm bow shoots through heavy armor. When the monks see it, they think it's just stinky leather socks!"
The surrounding civilians still didn't understand what it meant, but they knew what the divine arm bow, heavy armor, and stinky leather socks were, and they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Everyone said that the great monk explained it most clearly, that it was Prince Han who defeated the Jin army with the Divine Arm Bow.
Just when the civilians were laughing happily, suddenly, there were drum sounds in the camp, horns blew under the dragon flag outside the central army camp in the distance, and a hot air balloon rose over the ferry.
The people in the civilian camp were also shocked and at a loss.
But soon, the leader of the civilians who came hastily from the central army camp shouted from afar:
"Crossing the river! The emperor is going to cross the river to the east! The ministers and the generals have said that the emperor is going to cross the river!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw countless officials and soldiers pouring out from under the dragon banners and dispersing from the central army camp in the distance. Then, in just a moment, like thunder, people from all directions were shouting - Emperor Zhao is going to cross the river!
It seems that the official really wants to cross the river.
"You guys go back!"
In the chaos, Dahui monk first stared at the mess, then shook his body a few times, put his hands together, turned his head and faced several strong monks from Jingshan Temple. "I'm not going back."
The monks of Jingshan Temple were puzzled for a moment, and they were all instinctively frightened... They had lost the only purple-robed monk in the temple during this trip, so wouldn't they be sent to pound rice when they returned?
"Don't think too much, I know this is my chance." Monk Dahui swayed as if he was drunk, but he clasped his hands together without moving. "No matter what the result is, the Buddha wants me to cross the river and be a witness for the world... This is my chance! I can't avoid it! And I shouldn't avoid it!"
The monks looked at each other and could only put their hands together to salute Master Dahui, then went back to pack up and prepare to return to Jingshan Temple.
However, perhaps because these monks were exceptionally strong, they bumped into Xiahou Yuan, an officer of the Imperial Cavalry who was also hurried back to pack his things and prepare to set off. Xiahou Yuan then casually pointed at them and conscripted them into the army.
It can be seen that once the Buddha's opportunity comes, it cannot be stopped.
PS: Thanks to the new leader Mengchacha, this is the 183rd cute chapter in this book.
By the way, everyone continue to have a happy Lantern Festival.
