"Just in the big soldiers, King Youxian said, every account must have a person."
A few days after Milantuo and the others saw the eagle feather white silk, the hundred horsemen who ruled this grassland came to Pujie's house in person and ordered Pujie's grandfather to go on the expedition.Pu Jie's grandfather did not answer, but only mended his horned bow outside the tent, but Pu Jie's grandmother held a wooden stick with cheese and argued with the hundred horsemen.She babbled about her children: the eldest son died of illness when he was three years old, and the second son became an adult, married a wife and gave birth to a pair of children, but died in the battle of Shiqi River three years ago."
It must be a mistake, he is the only man left in my family, and in addition, the grandson who has just been weaned, he is gone, who will come to work at home?"
However, the captain of the hundred horsemen was indifferent, and after asking the Han scribe next to him, he pointed to Milanda, who was milking the ewes with Pujie in the distance, and said, "Isn't there a slave in your family?"
”The right part of the Xiongnu is more backward than Shan Yuting and the left part, there is no book, and words are the constraints.Until now, the Right Sage King accepted some Han people who surrendered, such as Wu Zongnian, and taught him to remember the left and right, so as to calculate his people and animals, and they remembered clearly which slaves the Right Sage King gave them.Even though Pujie's grandmother couldn't win the sympathy of the hundred horsemen, she only pointed to her husband and lied: "He can't ride a horse, and he can't use a bow." ”"I can drive!"
Pu Jie's grandfather sang the opposite, stood up, turned over his horse, and showed his strength, drawing the horned bow like a full moon.Although he was a little gasping after collecting the bow, he really wanted to join this war, and no matter how his wife glared at him, he patted his chest and said to the chief of the hundred horsemen: "I went to Junji Mountain with Hulu Gu Dadanyu, killed the Han soldiers, and robbed their armor, but now although I am old, I would rather die under the hooves of a horse than die of illness at home." ”"This is the bravest warrior of the Qilian God in the past."
The chief of the hundred horsemen laughed: "But this time, we are only taking care of the herd in the rear of the army, and we will not go to the front line." ”The strong charged in front, and the old and weak guarded the herd in the rear to supply the army, which was the practice of the Huns, and the herd was their baggage.That night, Pujie heard her grandmother and grandfather arguing all night, loud and threatening to kill each other, and finally her grandfather beat her grandmother.The younger brother was also crying, which frightened the eight-year-old Pujie, and she carried her brother to the empty sheepfold where Milanda slept and huddled with him."
Milanda, there is another war."
Pujie still remembers that in the last war, his father was also taken away by a hundred horsemen and never came back.This made Pujie very resentful when he talked about the Han people, thinking that they were his father's killers, and his grandfather always instilled this.Milanda told her the story of King Liuli and the Buddha."
The King of Liuli has a feud with the Shakya tribe, and he raised an army to attack the city of the Shakyamuni tribe, and the Shakyamuni people asked the Buddha Shakyamuni for help, because the Buddha has great power, and he can completely move the army of the King of Liuli to the sea, or move the Shakya people to other lands, or cover the whole city with an iron cage to protect them.""
But the Buddha refused.""
Why did the Buddha refuse?
Aren't the Shakyamas his relatives?
”Pujie was very surprised, if she had such skills, if she encountered the Han army attacking the Xiongnu, she would definitely move the Han people to the top of the bitter cold Golden Mountain and freeze into ice mounds.Milanda smiled and said, "The Buddha said that there are seven things that are inevitable for all living beings, namely birth, old age, sickness, death, sin, blessing, and karma.The festival between King Liuli and the Shakya clan is the karma of the previous life, even if they are saved for a while, how can they cover their past karma. ”"Even without the help of the Buddha, the Shakya people are highly skilled, and they can see the Liuli King from a distance of 800 miles, or shoot down the head of the opponent's soldiers, or shoot the opponent's bowstring, or shoot through the staff, banners, etc., but they do not hurt anyone.""
Why doesn't it hurt?"
Pu Jie was fascinated by what she heard, but she was very upset, if she had this ability, she could stand on the top of the tent and shoot the Han soldiers eight hundred miles away one by one with a bow, so that they would not be able to hurt her grandfather."
Because the Shakya people are all Buddhist monks, and they all take precepts, they don't even kill ants, let alone kill people?""
But there was a fifteen-year-old boy in the city, named Sama, who went up to the city wall and fought alone, and wounded many of the enemy, but he was rebuked by the Shakya, saying, "Thou hast dishonored the gate of the Shakya."
One of us can fight ten thousand, and if we meet it, we will surely destroy the enemy's army, but if we kill people, we will fall into hell after death, so you should leave this place quickly, and do not harm us. ”After that, the Shakya tribe did not resist, opened the city gate, and the army of the Liuli King entered smoothly, and he buried all the Shakya people with their feet in the ground, and let the violent elephants trample to death.In addition, five hundred Shakya women were selected, brought back, and her hands and feet were cut off and thrown into a deep pit. ”Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety men were slain by the king of Ruri, and rivers of blood flowed around the Acropolis of Kapila, and the whole city was in ruins.Although Pujie was young, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong: "Milanda, I don't understand, the Buddha just watched his relatives being killed?
”Milanda sighed and said, "This is the karmic retribution of the previous life, and if you intervene, you will not save them, but harm them." ”Milanda comforted Pujie and said: "But the Buddha gave a speech for the dead Shakya people, and all the people were dusty, they obtained the Dharma Eye Purification, and after their deaths, they ascended to the heavens, and they were reincarnated in the Heavenly Dao in the next life, and they lived a long and worry-free life, and there was no more trouble to kill." ”And the Buddha made a prophecy, saying that after seven days, King Liuli and his soldiers would be destroyed.When the Liuli King heard this, he was very terrifying.On the seventh day, the king of Liuli thought that he had been spared, so he led his army to a banquet with the maiden to celebrate, and suddenly in the sky, the clouds rolled, and thunder and storms occurred, and everyone was drowned to death.The King of Glass fell into the hell of Abi, and the heavenly fire burned the palace to the air!
”Hearing this, Pujie was overjoyed: "Is it that the Buddha finally can't help but cast the spell?"
”She had seen the Hu Wu of the Qilian God often cast spells to curse the Han army when the army set out.Milanda shook his head: "This is not the Buddha, it is karma." ”In the view of these fundamentalist Buddhists in the Snow Mountain Division, if the current karmic force can be obscured by one's own will, how can karma be established?
Therefore, even a Buddha with full ten powers cannot save a person when his karma is ripe, after all, no one can change the law of karma.Similar to this incident, when the Bactrian and Anxinian attacked the northern body poison, none of the Buddha's disciples and grandchildren resisted, and only chanted sutras for the dead.A hundred years later, when it was the turn of the Cypriots to invade Gandhara and Popin, the Bactrian Greeks, who had converted to Buddhism, repeated the same thing, and even persuaded their tribesmen to lay down their arms and let the Cypriots abuse them.They believe that human life is short and that preparing for future reincarnation is the right path.But this result gave Pujie a headache when he heard it, and muttered, "Milanda, I don't like this story. ”Then he left the sheepfold with his sleepy brother in his arms.But she forgot to ask Milanda, what kind of karma did King Liuli destroy the entire Shakya clan?
Once upon a time, there was a fishing village where people caught fish and ate rice because of a famine, and rice was as expensive as gold.There was a child in the village, who was only eight years old, and although he did not fish, he was overjoyed and laughed when he saw that people had caught a big fish.In their previous lives, the Shakya people were the people of the fishing village, the big fish in the pond was the glass king, and the child who laughed when he saw the fish was the Buddha!
Milanda recited the sutra in the sheepfold, if Pujie's grandfather died in battle, he would definitely recite the sutra for him, I only hope that he will go this time, he would rather be killed than killed, his eyes can not only look at this world, but also look at life, and in the end it will definitely be a loss to kill.Outside, Pu Jie's grandfather gritted his teeth and sharpened the knife he had spent all night, a ring-headed knife he had picked up many years ago next to the corpses of the Han army after the war.The next day, although she was beaten by her grandfather, Pujie's grandmother got up early in the morning, made cheese, stuffed it into her bag, and gave her husband the few pieces of jerky left in the family.Pu Jie's grandfather, on the other hand, gave her only the knife that had been sharpened last night, and said in front of Miranda: "If the slave dares to mess around, kill him!"
”"Milanda is not a slave!"
Pujie argued like this, although she didn't like the story of Milanda yesterday, but she still regarded Milanda as her family as if she were a family member in the pen.Pu Jie's old grandmother took the knife, but she didn't think so, unlike Pu Jie, who had a good impression of Milanda, she had always despised this slave."
He is more obedient than a sheep, he is still a castrated lamb, and even a woman does not dare to sleep!"
Pujie's grandfather joined the army, which was indeed responsible for taking care of the baggage, and the military rations of the Huns consisted of air-dried meat and hard cheese, and they had to be supplied with herds, and they were generally grazed in a safe area one or two hundred miles behind the army.And before them, it was the main force of Da Shan Yu and the Right Xian King, there were 50,000 horsemen, except for the people brought by Da Shan Yu from Shan Yu Ting and the left, the tent under the command of the Right Xian King was almost one household and one ding.And the striker is Hutu Wusi, who said a big thing that day, that is, Zhizhi.Zhi Zhi made a bold statement that day, and successfully offended the kings on the right, but Da Shan Yu admired him very much, and named him the captain of ten thousand horses on the spot, and took Shan Yuting ten thousand horses as the forward, and arrived at the north court first.They entered the eastern border of Hujie from the Jinshan Pass, and as the only remaining subordinates of the Right Xian King in the North Court, the Hujie King waited here to meet.Then head south along the edge of the Gurbantunggut Desert, which is fixed and blooming in the spring, when the snow melts in spring.When you can see the majestic white mountain, under the moisture of snow water, the environment is better, at the foot of the mountain is a wetland that can not be seen, the water and grass are fertile, a lump of puddles of blue and blue, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds and rolling mountains, countless yellow ducks and wild geese are frightened by the horse team, quacking and flying overhead.If it is placed in the past, this is the richest land in the court of Youxian Wang, the rider stepped on the horse, raised the whip, galloped between the herds, the white sheep, the red herd, like silk satin spread out into a long belt and fluttered back and forth, and there were those water birds, freely multiplied here, especially the yellow ducks, quacking and flying overhead, rippling in the hearts of people.But now, the Xiongnu tribes at the northern foot of Baishan have migrated out, and the Han people have even withdrawn their migration from Cheshi Houcheng and Beilu Houguo, which are located in the east, and concentrated in Dongjimicheng and a newly built city in the north and south passes of the Tianshan Mountains.Looking at this land, Zhi Zhi yearned, although he is the eldest son of King Zuoxian, but because of his current lowliness, his status is very low, far inferior to his younger brother Hu Han Evil, and he will not be regarded as an heir in the future.So he had to perform hard in front of Da Dan Yu in order to win the opportunity, Da Dan Yu was dissatisfied with the repeated defeats of the Right Xian King, if it weren't for the Right Xian King bribing the Zhuan Qu clan to say good things repeatedly, I am afraid that he would not even be able to keep the throne.If he can be ashamed of the Huns in this war, given time, maybe the position of the right virtuous king will be his turn?
Although the position of the right valley Li king is still vacant since the death of the sage Shan, but Zhi Zhi is not interested, after the two right valley Li kings have been in a row, the Xiongnu unanimously believe that this title is unlucky.Their army swept through the deserted northern foothills of Baishan, aiming directly at the Han fortress, and although the main stronghold of the Han army in Beiting was Xijimicheng, the new city occupied the pass canyon, the main road to the Cheshi, and was a battleground.But when the vanguard gradually approached, Zhi Zhi was startled by what he saw in the distance, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.The thin gray-yellow line that stretched to the eyes on both sides made Zhi Zhi familiar and unfamiliar.Familiar because this is the northern border of the Han Dynasty, extending from Liaodong to the Great Wall of Dunhuang Yumen Pass, rammed earth for the stopper, blocking the horse's hooves of the cavalry, is every time the Huns vainly try to enter the fortress, can not bypass the barrier.The strangeness is because it actually appeared in the North Garden, at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain!
But after looking at it, Zhizhi had to admit that the Great Wall was indeed cleverly built, and it happened to be stuck in the town of Daban in Urumqi on the canyon "Baishui Stream" that was twenty or thirty miles wide.On its left is a vast salt lake, on the right is the rugged mountain at the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the Great Wall takes the local gravel, sands and soil rammed to build, walks with the mountain rocks, builds a beacon every 100 steps, is very dense, can take care of each other, the left, middle and right of the Great Wall still stand three barriers, and the one that chokes the road in the center is the largest.At present, if you look at it from a bird's eye view from a high altitude, you will feel that the Han army is using the towering Tianshan Mountain, which stretches for thousands of miles and is as high as 10,000 miles, as the Great Wall!
Zhi Zhi put away the reverie for the future in his heart, he was far from being as reckless as he looked, he only felt a little dizzy by the combination of the snow mountain and the Great Wall, this was destined to be a difficult battle, he called the king of Hujie and asked him: "What is this city called?""
Because it is strangled above the Daban Pass, the Han people call it Daban City!"
Daban City, this is the result of the people recruited by Chang Hui from various cities in the Western Regions with Ren Duhu, as well as the results of the past two years of 3,000 soldiers of the Han army.The North Court was set up for the counterattack of the Xiongnu, but it was far more convenient for the Xiongnu to come here than the Han Dynasty, so before attacking, they had to think about how to defend.For an infrastructure maniac like Dahan, building the Great Wall is naturally the first choice.Compared with the filial piety of the time to send 180,000 people, with the Great Wall of thousands of miles to wrap the entire Hexi corridor, in order to isolate the Hu and Qiang road", and even from the Yumen Pass to the west, the Pavilion barrier to the prison Lanhai, this road is only 30 Han Li, only three barriers, dozens of beacon fortifications, can not be called the Great Wall at all, the short city is almost the same."
In ancient times, the king of Qin practiced the city, and now, the capital is the city of the Tianshan Mountain!"
Feng Fengshi stood at the head of Daban City, which was named by Ren Duhu himself, the Huns really came, the beacon fire had been lit, the wind blew the smoke in all directions, and the horn and drum had also sounded, and the Wuji captain Han Dangdang shouted to greet the rangers: "Hurry up and prepare for battle, Hulu is here to send people again!"
