Changsheng opens treasure chests everywhere

Chapter 453 Turning Point
When the ninth-grade merit golden lotus was stolen, it was the rat spirit who led the thief into Lingshan through the earth veins.But the thief was hiding his face at that time, so the mouse spirit didn't know his identity.

Later, the golden lotus of the twelfth grade of merit reappeared in Mi Xiaoxia's hands, so it is speculated that the little thief was probably Mi Xiaoxia!
At this time, Mi Xiaoxia asked for the mouse spirit again, and the suspicion was even greater.

"Brother, if you don't give it to others, he won't withdraw his troops."

Just as Tathagata Buddha was thinking, Vairocana Buddha said something.

"Never mind."

Tathagata Buddha pondered for a moment and waved his hand.

"Give it to him."

The mouse spirit explores the ground veins, can invade the forbidden area, and directly enter the Lingshan Mountain.But if there are Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sitting in Lingshan, so what if they come in.If there were no Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in charge, with Mi Xiaoxia's current cultivation base, the restrictions would not be able to stop him.

In this case, it doesn't matter if you hand over the mouse essence to him.

The Tathagata Buddha agreed, and Vairocana Buddha immediately took the mouse spirit and the three rhinoceros spirits, and went to Jilei Mountain again.

The next thing is very simple, leave the four of them behind, and Mi Xiaoxia summons the mortal world to withdraw the troops.

As the leader of the New Sect, Mi Xiaoxia would not deny it, but it was up to others, Vairocana Buddha still waited for the news of the withdrawal of the mortal world, and then left Jilei Mountain with a smile.

"Thank you Master Mi for saving me."

"Thank you sir."

After regaining their freedom, the three rhino spirits and the mouse spirit were overjoyed and thanked Mi Xiaoxia one after another.

When learning the scriptures, Mi Xiaoxia drove the three rhinos to Shituoling, but he didn't reveal his real body at that time.So until now, the three rhinoceros don't know it's him.

As for the golden-nosed white-haired rat spirit, although he was imprisoned by Buddhism, he also heard some news.Knowing that Mi Xiaoxia has meritorious deeds like Jinlian, he roughly guessed that the mysterious person who held her hostage back then was Mi Xiaoxia.

"I rescued the four of you this time, mainly to repay some karma from before."

Mi Xiaoxia glanced at the four of them, then continued.

"Now I give you two choices, continue to be a demon in the lower realm, or join my new sect."

"This one……"

Hearing this suddenly, the three rhinoceros could not help but hesitate.

Since they were subdued by Buddhism, they have been serving as coolies on mounts, but they also know some news.Mi Xiaoxia established a new religion, but offended Buddhism to death.

If they join the New Sect, they will stand on the opposite side of Buddhism.

But if he chooses to continue to be a demon in the lower realm, he will fail Mi Xiaoxia's kindness and make him unhappy.Moreover, they are helpless, and Buddhism will deal with them again sooner or later.

"Disciples see the leader!"

The rhinoceros spirit was still hesitating, but the mouse spirit showed joy and immediately kowtowed.

Compared with the rhinoceros, the mouse has more contact with Mi Xiaoxia.Just imagine back then, with his little cultivation, he dared to sneak into Lingshan and steal the Buddha Golden Lotus.Now, it must be even more extraordinary.

It is said that a good job is worse than a good marriage. Although the mouse spirit is a demon, she is still a woman after all, and she always hopes to have a backer.

"The three of you still don't kneel down, instead of being frightened, it's better to follow the leader."

The mouse spirit has inexplicable confidence in Mi Xiaoxia, and she has been imprisoned for a hundred years, and she has a deep resentment towards Buddhism.Turning his head to look at the rhinoceros spirit, he couldn't help persuading him.

"We... see the leader!"

The three rhinoceros looked at each other, and all knelt down to worship Mi Xiaoxia.

As the so-called situation is stronger than people, in fact, there is no room for them to choose now, no matter what happens in the future, as the mouse spirit said, now they have entered the new religion first, hoping to live a stable life.

"it is good."

The three joined the teaching, and Mi Xiaoxia nodded with a smile.

The rhinoceros spirits are all golden immortals, and the new teaching has three more golden immortals at once, and their strength is greatly increased in an instant!As for the rat spirit, although his cultivation base is lower, he is quick-witted, aware of current affairs, and has special abilities, so he is also a talent to be cultivated.

After the four bowed down, Mi Xiaoxia took them to the small world of Qingqiu, gave them the seal of entry and exit, and began to teach the systematic new teaching skills.

Although the four of them had cultivation bases, they were originally grassroots monsters. They had no orthodox guidance, and they gained a lot in a short time, and they were all overjoyed.

As for Mi Xiaoxia, the leader, he couldn't help but be more convinced.

At the same time, the battle in Suiyang City in the mortal world is still going on.

Jiangnan Dao sent 20 reinforcements, making Yin Ziqi's army useless in an instant.For several days in a row, the [-] army not only failed to capture the city, but suffered many casualties.

Just when he was worried, he suddenly got the news that Jiangnan Dao had withdrawn his troops.

"Are you sure you read it right?"

"Surely not, there are quite a few of the [-] troops, and they have already returned to Jiangnan Road by boat!"

"how so……"

Yin Ziqi wondered for a while, why bother to leave as soon as he arrived?Could it be that the Tang court did something to annoy Jiangnan Dao?

"Ignore him! Summon the army and attack in an all-round way!"

But anyway, this is simply great news.Yin Ziqi was excited for a while, and immediately sent an order to go down.

Immediately afterwards, 20 troops assembled and launched a fierce attack on Suiyang City again.

The battle started at noon and continued until the early morning of the third day, lasting nearly two days and two nights.Yin Ziqi lost tens of thousands of troops, but even after paying such a price, he still failed to break through Suiyang City!

"What's going on! Didn't it mean that Jiangnan Dao has withdrawn his troops!"

"It is true that they have withdrawn, and at this time, there are far less than 5 horses in Suiyang City."

After two days of fighting this time, Suiyang still could not be captured, because instead of the original [-] to [-] remnants on the top of the city, there were [-] elite soldiers!

Twenty times as many troops as before could not defeat Suiyang, so of course only ten times as many troops is not good at this time.

But neither Yin Ziqi nor the lieutenant general could figure it out.Jiangnan Dao has already withdrawn [-] troops, so how come there are nearly [-] more elite soldiers in the city out of thin air?

In fact, the doorway is very simple, Mi Xiaoxia played tricks for them!
The deal with Buddhism was completed, but Suiyang could not be broken at the moment, so Mi Xiaoxia played a trick.

He did evacuate 5 people, but more than 1 of them were old and weak people in the city pretending to be.Wearing a military uniform and mixing with the army, no one would be able to tell.

In this way, the extra 1 elite soldiers stayed in Suiyang City, giving Zhang Xun an army of [-]!

From the beginning of defending the city, Suiyang had no more than [-] soldiers and horses. At this time, with [-] troops in hand, Zhang Xun felt like a poor man suddenly rich.

And not only that, although Mi Xiaoxia withdrew his troops, he left a large amount of supplies in Suiyang, including grain, grass and equipment.With the support of these materials, the logistics of Suiyang City in the past few months have not been a problem.

Although Yin Ziqi was annoyed about where the soldiers in Suiyang came from, there were only 10,000 troops in the end, and he still had [-]+ troops in his hands, so there was no reason to give up.Immediately afterwards, troops were dispatched to prepare for a new attack.In Suiyang City, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan also went all out to defend the city to the death.

The battle of Suiyang is still stalemate, at this time in the Hebei area.After Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi joined forces, they mobilized troops from various places to further strengthen their forces.

The most important thing is that Suiyang persisted for several months, and the tax payment in the Jianghuai River Basin filled the treasury, which made Datang gradually recover.

In this way, compared with the stagnation of the rebels, the Tang army achieved successive victories in Hebei.After fighting for several months, most of Hebei has been recovered.

"rush!"

That afternoon, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi's army came to the city of Chang'an.Li Guangbi held up the Yuan Tu sword, and the army, like a flood, rushed unstoppably towards the city of Chang'an occupied by the rebels.

As the original capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an deployed a lot of troops after the rebels occupied it.However, due to the support of Suiyang, the troops were continuously deployed, and the city was already somewhat empty at this time.

The most important thing is that Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi used their troops well, and the Tang army was in full swing.

After fighting like this for a whole day, the rebels were defeated, and the Tang army successfully entered Chang'an!

From the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Li Longji led the crowd to flee Chang'an, and now it has been more than a year, and the city of Chang'an has finally returned to Datang.

"Keep attacking!"

After conquering Chang'an, on the one hand, he reported to Li Heng in Lingwu City and asked him to move back to Chang'an.On the other hand, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi continued to mobilize the army to counter the rebellion, and the next target was Luoyang!
Chang'an and Luoyang, these are the two capitals of the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an has already been subdued. As long as Luoyang is taken back, the rebels can be completely contained.

"Brother Xu, it looks like it won't work."

"It's worth it to be able to work with Brother Zhang, so why not be afraid of death!"

One month after Chang'an was conquered, in Suiyang City, Xu Yuan and Zhang Xun stood at the top of the city with calm faces.

Although there was assistance from the Jiangnan Dao army before, Yin Ziqi's attacks became more and more fierce, and the rebels continued to increase their troops to Suiyang.

It was another month of hard fighting. Up to the current position, the original [-] army has been completely destroyed.At this time, there are less than a hundred people capable of fighting in the city.

"It's worth it!"

It was October of the second year of Zhide, and the battle to defend Suiyang had been going on for ten months since the beginning of the first month.Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan once relied on thousands of troops to resist the 10,000+ rebel army.

Up to now, there have been more than 400 battles before and after, and a total of 12 enemies have been wiped out!
At this time, Datang had conquered Chang'an, even if Suiyang City was destroyed, it didn't matter.As Zhang Xun said at the end, it's worth it!

"kill!"

That night, when the city was broken, Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan led the remaining dozens of soldiers, roaring into the enemy's formation.

Zhang Xun, Xu Yuan, and the soldiers under his command vowed not to surrender, and finally died in the chaos...

The two ended tragically, but it allowed the world of Tang Dynasty to be preserved.

Ten days after the fall of Suiyang, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi attacked Luoyang, and An Qingxu had only 300 men left, and fled back to Yecheng in a hurry.

So far, the two capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang have completely returned to the hands of Datang, and the rebels are no longer able to go south.

Immediately afterwards, the Tang army continued to march and captured Hanoi and other places in succession. The rebel general Yan Zhuang was forced to surrender, and the rebel general Yin Ziqi was killed by Chen Liu's army and people.Immediately afterwards, the Tang army recovered Henan, Hedong and other counties one after another.

At this time, if they take advantage of the victory to pursue the remnants of An Qingxu, it is possible to put down the rebels in one fell swoop.But unfortunately, Li Heng was busy welcoming the Supreme Emperor Li Longji back to the court, and failed to dispatch troops in time.

An Qingxu fled to Yecheng to regroup, and still had the strength to fight against the Tang army.

At this time, enter the stage of confrontation between the two sides.But after all, Datang has taken the lead, and it is only a matter of time before the rebellion is put down.
