    Dou Jiande finally felt Wang Shichong's pain. Tang Jun was really too difficult to deal with.  A thousand cavalry went out to chase a guy who claimed to be the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty, but only a few dozen came back.  These people only ran back after being assisted by a large group of people.  The scene was in a mess, and the captain who led the team was dragged by the horse until he was only half-length.

    What¡¯s even more terrifying is that based on the memories of the soldiers who escaped and the analysis of Wang Shichong¡¯s men.  That guy is very likely to be the real Li Shimin, King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty.  This is a bit shocking. I have never heard of such a fierce prince.  Wang Shichong's son Wang Xuan should be adopted as his adopted son, but he only dared to let him stay with him.  How could he dare to challenge the enemy's camp with only a reckless man?

    I heard that Li Yuan¡¯s crown prince Li Jiancheng is not bad either. It is not a fluke that the Li family got Guanzhong.

    When Dou Jiande thought about military rations, he had a headache.  When I was in Caozhou, I was afraid that my army was not strong enough and the number of people was not large enough.  Along the way, many civilians were recruited, and these people worked as laborers on weekdays.  When on the battlefield, being a dead soldier is the best choice.

    But the army surged from hundreds of thousands to more than 300,000, and the consumption it brought was staggering.  Hebei is exhausted and wants to feed an army of so many people.  Simply transporting grain from Hebei to Henan is not enough. More often than not, grain must be raised from Henan.  But Henan has also been in war for two years, and the people are not much worse than those in Hebei.  It is said that it is raising food, but more often than not it is just grabbing it with open arms.

    Laoguan Pass, also known as Sishui Pass, Chenggao Pass and Guxiaoguan Pass, is the gateway to the east of Luoyang.  Since Zhou Dynasty, a pass has been set up here.  This pass is connected to Songyue Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. The mountains are intertwined, making it a natural danger.

    Li Erlai inspected his Guangwu Mountain camp, and Dou Jiande also inspected Hulao Pass under the protection of cavalry.  He and the generals came to the unanimous conclusion that it is difficult to break through Hulao Pass.  Very difficult!  The only way is to fill it with massive human lives.  Those civilians are just there to make a living, so just use their lives to make ends meet.

    "Send the order, all armies prepare. Attack the city tomorrow!" Dou Jiande gave the order, and hundreds of thousands of people immediately became excited.

    Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. Spring in Henan this year came a little earlier than in previous years.  The willow branches began to sprout, and the yellow edges on the ground also had a touch of green, no longer lifeless in winter.  A vibrant look descended on the land of Henan.

    A group of arrogant soldiers rushed into the village like wild boars, and soon they dispersed into small groups.  As soon as they entered a farmhouse, the soldiers asked for food.  Food in spring is as valuable as gold, and farmers are not willing to give it to them.  Those who don't give it, and those who give it slowly will be punished with a knife in the head.

    A series of screams and heart-rending howls of women and children came from the village.  Dou Jiande's son, Wang Xuan, the crown prince of Daxia, was indifferent to this.  What he cared about was not how many people died, but how much food was stolen.  If there is not enough food to feed more than 300,000 mouths, he and his father Dou Jiande will die.

    "Your Highness, Henan is poorer than our Hebei. Four or five villages were slaughtered before we could get so little food. You should advise Your Majesty that the gain of attacking Hulao Pass is not worth the loss. It would be wise to return to Hebei as early as possible.  We have been out for a few months, and everyone is a little homesick." Seeing that the soldiers only produced a few oxcarts of food, General Zhang Qing curled his lips helplessly.

    "Hmph! I'm afraid you want to go back to Hebei! When you wiped out Meng Jiong, His Majesty's reward was heavier. Everyone has become fat and piggy. Are you in a hurry to go back to Handan to buy a house and land?" Wang Xuanying glanced at Zhang Qing.

    After defeating Meng Jiong, Dou Jiande generously rewarded these generals.  The morale of the military is bubbling high, but these guys are happy with their small fortunes.  I simply don¡¯t understand the meaning of lip-deadness and coldness of teeth, or the general military strategy.  All of them are waiting to go back to Hebei to seek land and property, and the worst ones are also thinking of getting more wives.

    When he thought about the Li family's army, which had been besieging Luoyang for more than a year and was still at its peak, Wang Xuanying couldn't help but feel upset.

    "Brothers, we don't really want to continue the fight. Let's go back to Hebei and live a good life. I don't believe that Li Tang dares to come to our Hebei to run wild."

    "Another tough guy who only has muscles but no brains. The three forces of Daxia in Hebei, Zheng Guo in Henan, and Li and Tang in Guanzhong coexist.  Once Wang Shichong is eliminated, Hebei's desire to be alone is simply a fool's errand.

    There is no way to think about this with the gangsters. They only think about the land, wives and children in Handan.  To them, military and state affairs are just nonsense.  Wherever there are brick houses, there is endless land as far as the eye can see.

    Even Wang Xuanying believed that as long as Li Tang could afford the price.  These guys will immediately run to the Tang Dynasty. As long as they can keep their current wealth, these guys can attack Dad.

    That¡¯s itThere is a young man sitting.  The assassins all around gathered around him, and it was obvious that this man was the one who had the final say among them.

    "I am the prince of Daxia. I want to ask you why you beat my soldiers of Daxia." Wang Xuanying leaned on his horse and looked at the monk with a bright forehead with interest.  It is said that the more advanced you practice Buddhist martial arts, the more your forehead will sink.  No matter how I look at it, this guy doesn't even have a hole in his forehead.

    "It turns out it was His Highness the Crown Prince, and the poor monk failed. He just offended His Highness the Crown Prince's subordinates, and the poor monk is willing to be punished by His Highness the Crown Prince." Jue Yuan closed his eyes, and it seemed that he would not be able to survive today.  I just hope that I will take all the responsibility on myself and not let the temple suffer unreasonable disasters.

    "Hahaha! Even if you are an eminent monk, your life is not worth the face of my Daxia soldiers. Leading the way, I want to ask you about the temple blessings of Shaolin Temple. What kind of compensation do you want to pay to my Daxia's face?  ." Wang Xuanying doesn't care about the life or death of Monk Jueyuan, and the face of Daxia Kingdom is even more of a joke.  How many things can be blackmailed in Shaolin Temple is the most important thing.

    Jueyuan had a look of sorrow on his face. Of course he knew what Wang Xuanying wanted.  Although these people came to Shaoshi Mountain for the first time, the news of their rampage in Henan had already spread.  These are human beings who are more ferocious than jackals, extremely failed works of the Creator, and scum of extremely high purity.

    It is a crime committed in Henan, and it is too numerous to describe.  When these people come to Shaoshi Mountain, it will definitely be a catastrophe.  Perhaps, this is the disaster that God is going to bring to Shaolin Temple!

    "Amitabha!" Jue Yuan chanted the Buddha's name and reluctantly led thousands of Daxia soldiers up to Shaoshi Mountain.

    Shaoshi Mountain is also known as "Jishi Mountain". The thirty-six peaks are steep and precipitous, and there are many strange peaks and strange views.  The peaks are surrounded by banners, like swords and halberds, and are quite spectacular. Some rise from the ground, some meander, some squat like tigers, some dance like lions, and some like giant dragons.  Sleeping, some are like crawling turtles, with jagged peaks and ridges and criss-crossing canyons, which is quite spectacular.  Legend has it that King Xia Yu's second wife, the sister of the Tushan family, lived here. A temple for her young aunt was built at the foot of the mountain to honor her, so the mountain is called "Shaoshi".

    It is said that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Indian monk Bodhidharma came to China. He was good at Zen and was well received by Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty.  In the 20th year of Taihe, he ordered to build a temple for the Buddha on Shaoshi Mountain to provide food and clothing.  The temple is located in the forest of Shaoshi Mountain, hence the name Shaolin, hence the name "Shaolin Temple", which means "the temple hidden in the dense forest at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain".

    ¡°That¡¯s the Shaolin Temple?¡± Turning around the foot of the mountain, Wang Xuanying saw a vast temple.  I immediately burst into laughter. Such a large temple must be rich in wealth.  I don't know how much better it is than those poor and scumbag bankers.

    Jue Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "That's the Shaoshi Temple, a large temple of the Pure Land Sect. The Shaolin Temple is small and has few people, so naturally it can't be compared."

    "Oh, Shaoshi Temple?" Wang Xuanying became interested immediately. He didn't expect that besides Shaolin Temple, there was such a big temple in Shaoshi Mountain.  Today, it¡¯s time for this prince to make a fortune.

    ps: Shaoshi Temple is located in the natural village of Weiyuangou Village, Dajindian Town, Dengfeng City, Henan Province. Its ancient name is Honghua Temple, which means a Buddhist pure land that "promotes Buddhism and educates all living beings". It belongs to the seventy-two temples in Songshan Mountain, Zhongyue.  First, because it is located at the southern foot of Shaoshi Mountain in the central Yue Song Mountain, Shaoshi Temple was named after the mountain.  The temple was built in the early Tang Dynasty and destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. When New China was founded, there were ruined walls and several ancient steles. After being destroyed by the Cultural Revolution, no trace remains today.

    According to the legend of the old man in the natural village, the temple was originally a very famous temple, more famous than the Shaolin Temple. However, due to poor management, the monks committed many crimes. They committed serious crimes such as robbery and rape. The government and the public were outraged and ordered the temple to be razed.  After the lower official demolished the temple, he reported it to the emperor, who said: "Just level it."  However, the lower official misunderstood "strike" as "rake" and thought that the emperor did not understand his hatred, so he asked him to rake again.  So, they used horses to pull a rake with sharp iron thorns and raked for three full days before leaving.

    According to the villagers of Weiyuangou Natural Village, a villager named Li Sihai once saw a temple stone tablet while planting crops, and then disappeared.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
