Milanda, the Buddha Sharmony from the Kingdom of Qibin, became a slave again.

He was captured by Zuo Guli Wangzhi's branch while preaching at the Huns gathering place north of Yuwushui, on the grounds that he incited Han slaves to escape.

"I just advise them to be patient and obedient, and when will they encourage people to escape?"

Milanda, who had already left a tendril, was not angry and patiently wanted to reason with Zhizhi's subordinates.

He regained his freedom a few years ago, and then entrusted the brothers with a hundred cavalry captain who believed in Buddhism and left the right land. He walked around the Huns and wanted to spread Buddhism, but there were very few noble people who were willing to listen to him. Instead, the miserable slaves at the bottom were very interested in the "next life" mentioned by Milanda.

Milanta told the slaves who were beaten by the Huns that patience is the highest asceticism. If you cannot endure humiliation in your life, then you will not be able to meet the Buddha in the future. You will stay away from the Three Jewels of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. You will often wander in the three evil realms of hell, hungry ghosts and animals, and will always take such a long time for several kalpas.

He also told two stories of Buddhas enduring humiliation. One was that when the Buddha was preaching in Utunan, he was insulted by the queen, calling him a robber, a stupid donkey, an idiot, a camel, and an animal. No matter where the Buddha went, these people would follow him, but no matter how cursed and scolded them, the Buddha always treated him with a smile.

When the waiter Ananda could not bear the curse and tried to persuade the Buddha to leave this country, the Buddha refused. The elephant could withstand the fence like a locust on the battlefield. He would endure the insults in the same way. Until one day, the insulterator fell seriously injured. The Buddha treated him, and everyone knelt in front of the Buddha and regretted it.

The even more exaggerated story is that the Buddha, as an immortal who practiced in the mountains and forests, was cut off his nose and ears by King Goli, and his arms were cut off until he was dismembered. However, in the pool of blood, the immortal's face was still in a perfect state, and his face did not change at all.

Therefore, when facing the master's rebuke, scolding, and whipping, don't be angry. The master who does evil in the next life will go down from the beast realm, and as long as the slave endures the past, he can be a noble person in the next life.

"The light of forbearance is greater than the light of the sun and the moon. Although the power of the dragon and elephant is powerful, it is not as good as one in ten thousand compared to forbearance. Although giving and doing charity also brings great blessings, the blessings cannot keep up with forbearance." This is the core of Milanda's advice to slaves.

Therefore, there is nothing to protect the world, and only endurance can be relied upon. Tolerance is a safe house, and disasters and monsters will not arise. Tolerance is a magic armor, but the soldiers do not add it. Tolerance is a big boat, which can overcome difficulties. Tolerance is a good medicine and can save people's lives.

Most of the slaves who were willing to listen to these words became more obedient. As for those who escaped, they were Han slaves who had been lucky enough to slip away after the Han army marched north.

But this principle was hard to explain, so Milanda became a slave again, a dirty rope tied to his neck and grinded out blood bubbles. Once he moved a little slower, the whip was whipped on his back. His new master was a vicious Hun nobleman who asked Milanda to pull a car alone during his migration, and he was not allowed to help those who sympathized with the monks.

Now, it was Milanda's turn to smile and endure it.

It has been seven years since I came to the Huns. Milanda has already understood this nation very well and understands why the teacher once said that decades ago, when the Shanyu envoy passed through the countries west of the Pamir Mountains, they all passed from Jubin to Kangju. They all obediently provided food, clothing, housing and transportation to the Huns for free, and respected them better than the Han envoys.

Because the Huns are indeed powerful, although they are both riding and shooting countries, their organization is extremely high, far better than Yuezhi, Kangju and Sai people.

They were able to compete with the powerful Han Dynasty for decades without destruction. The twenty-four chiefs gathered with the Great Shanyu three times a year and decided the direction of robbery after the autumn. When the Han people invaded north, the Shanyu could make their troops abandon the south of the desert and migrate across the Great Gobi, and repeatedly avoid the Han army's military fronts.

But the driving of the people and animals alone avoided Yuwu and lived on the water. In decades, there have been at least ten times. This long-distance migration that violates the nomadic situation in all seasons will cause damage to the Huns' economy every time, but it also makes them regard migration and refuge as a common thing and are familiar with it.

But this migration was slightly different from the past. The Great Shanyu even gave up the Anhoushui (Orhun River) basin, the core wolf of the Huns, Guyan and his tribes, who depended on for their lives. Seventy or eighty thousand households abandoned the aging cattle and sheep and even the elderly in their families, broke them into pieces, and drove westward.

There were also more than 30,000 households and 170,000 people who were directly under the Great Shanyu. As a baggage team, they followed the Shanyu. What protected them was more than 100,000 young and strong cavalry scattered around the migration team.

Many tribes violated the orders of the Great Shanyu and would rather surrender to the Han people than move westward, but most of the tents still follow the footsteps of the Shanyu, just like subconsciously following the flock of sheep.

Their target was pointing to the increasingly clear mountain range Yanran Mountain ahead.

After pulling the cart, Milanda looked up and saw that Yanran Mountain was like a hump. The gentle and undulating hills were lush with grass, and the rivers were crisscrossing. The higher the mountains to the west, the higher the mountain range, there were many birch and Siberian cypress on the mountainside. The main peak covered with snow towered into the blue sky and white clouds. It was not too high but very long, almost spanning the entire northern desert, separating the headquarters of the Huns from the right.

Yanran is the source of thousands of rivers. Almost all the rivers in the north of the desert originate from this long mountain range. There is a pass twenty miles wide in the middle of the mountain range, like a concave point in the middle of the hump. It is the main road connecting the right part and the Shanyuting.

According to the plan of Xulu Quanqu, the Youxian King would send people to meet at Yanran Pass to let the huge troops go there. Although the tent fell slowly, the two eastern armies in the Han army are still circling near the Shanyu Courtyard, a thousand miles away, and it will take at least half a month to come.

"Woooooooooooooooo!" Seeing the Yanran Mountain Pass far away, with the rapid sound of cow horns, the fully armed Hun riders rode past the long migration team, shouting loudly, causing everyone to stop.

The huge herdsmen stopped, and this stopped for a night. The Hun nobles lost their former glory, the shepherds were full of worry, while the slaves were still gathered together and secretly worshiped Shifutu.

No one knew what happened before, but the next day, a word wandered through the migration team, spoken from different people, in a fearful and incredible tone.

That day, the Huns, who were in the northern desert and had not suffered from war, finally recalled the horror that was once dominated by them and the humiliation that was freely brought and moved by the enemy on the grassland.

"It's the Han army!"

"The enemy is in Yanran Mountain!"

...

"It's indeed the Shanyu army?"

On the west side of Yanran Mountain Pass, a hundred miles away, Fu Jiezi was also as surprised as Xulu Quanqu Shanyu. According to the original plan, he only blocked the "fishing net" at the Yanran Pass, the only way to the right. Relying on the middle and east, the main forces of the two routes defeated the main forces of the Shanyu, while Fu Jiezi waited for the rabbit to capture all the defeated soldiers.

But unexpectedly, the Huns came so early. I heard from the scouts that there were more than 100,000 cavalrymen, and perhaps more than 200,000 cavalry. Now they are confronting each other with the Han and Wusun coalition forces across the pass.

The friendly forces who were said to be were not even visible. Calculate the days, Ren Hong and Zhao Chongguo were at most able to meet in the Shanyu Court, and it was still more than a thousand miles away.

Fu Jiezi knew: "The Shanyu was driving people and animals to move westward. He wanted to meet with the Right Xianwang. Among the three routes, he would pick the softest persimmon to pinch it."

However, under the attack of the Han envoys attacking and planning to attack the diplomatic relations, the Right Xianwang did not directly join the Han army, but moved south and gave up the Yanran Mountain Pass that he should have guarded for the Great Shanyu, probably because he wanted to see the two tigers fight.

Two accidents caused this encounter. Although the Western Route Army was the weakest, the Han soldiers were only five or six thousand. In addition, there were 40,000 Wusun people led by the right general and Feng Yao, and 5,000 Xiaoyuezhi was led by the Xiaoyuezhi King Langhe. To put it nicely, it was Yi Congqi, and to put it bluntly, it was the servants' national soldiers, which were not very reliable.

When Lang He learned that the main force of the Huns arrived early, he was already in a hurry to retreat and sent someone to persuade Fu Jiezi to retreat temporarily. Although the right general of Wusun did not say it clearly, he had this intention.

When facing the Huns in the field, they were still forced into desperate situations, the Wusun people and Xiao Yuezhi were both a little afraid.

But Fu Jiezi refused to retreat and said to the captains: "In the fourth year of Yuanshou, Emperor Shizong said that all the people who dared to fight hard were cavalry, and he sent out Dai County to be the Shanyu. The Marquis of Changping Lie went out of Dingxiang as a side army. However, he met Yi Zhixie's main force, and Shanyu escaped in the Mobei battle. Now I am also the side army in the Western Regions, but I met Shanyu. It is a great responsibility given to me. Is it impossible to avoid it?"

He immediately asked someone to capture the Huns captured in the scout's encounter, and asked Zheng Ji to "inadvertently" reveal that the Right Xian King had surrendered to the Han Dynasty. The Han army had more than 100,000 troops at the pass, and then let the Huns leave.

Zheng Ji smiled and said, "Isn't this the bluff that Xi'an Hou often uses? Why did the Marquis of Yiyang have learned it?"

"It's mine now." Fu Jiezi was not polite at all. He asked Wusun and Xiao Yuezhi to tie leaves on the horse's tail and run around the western foot of Yanran Mountain to create a situation where the army arrived.

Fu Jiezi wanted to force the Huns to retreat when they saw the difficulties and retreated north along Yanran Mountain. In this way, the Han army could attack with their heads. Wusun and Yuezhi attacked their baggage and slowed down the Shanyu's speed. When Zhao Chongguo Ren Hong arrived, he could fight a battle to annihilate the Huns!

But Yanran Mountain is not very high. In addition to being unable to walk a large group of people, the opponent's small scouts riding horses can easily turn over to investigate the enemy situation. How long can this plan be hidden?

One day, three days?

And how long will it take for friendly troops to arrive?

Five days, ten days? Half a month?

The Western Route Army went deep into the army and could not contact Zhao Chongguo and Ren Hong for the time being. No matter how well prepared it was, it was inevitable that the grassland would fall into a situation where they did not know the enemy or the ones. When fighting, it was often not about who fought well, but about who made more mistakes.

"We should be prepared to fight to the death." Xi Chongguo proposed this during the collegial meeting, but unlike the narrow Chaliu Valley outside the Tiemen Pass, the Yanran Mountain Pass was more than twenty miles wide, and the Huns could launch a formation attack. The Han army was only 5,000 to 6,000, and relying on 40,000 to 50,000 Wusuns. Xiao Yuezhi withstood more than 100,000 Huns, let alone the right general and the wolf, why did Fu Jiezi have no confidence in them either.

"It would be great if there was a city." Sun Qianwan said that the Qingxia Army was good at defending. If it could defend the city like the Battle of Chigu City and Dabansui, it would block the front, while Wusun and Xiaoyuezhi were circling on the left and right to assist them, and they would have more confidence in fighting.

But the workers sharpened their knives a little late. At most, they could get some tigers that were set up when camping and digging trenches. Yanshan Mountain near the pass was bare, and there was no place to cut trees, so it was even more time to rammed earth and build walls. Now it is August after autumn, and the weather is still hot, so it is impossible to repeat the miracle of Ren Hong's overnight formation.

While everyone was thinking, Feng Qian, who was visiting, had an idea, and someone opened the tent, pointed to the Western Region servants who were transporting supplies to the army outside and laughed and said:

"Who said there is no city?"

...

Perhaps it wasn't because he used it without special blessings. Fu Jiezi used Ren Hong's trick to trick Xu Lu Quan Qu Shanyu into hesitating for a day.

The next day, Xulu Quanqu, who had cursed the Youxian King for one night, woke up and knew that after such an accident, the Huns had no way out.

"If you give up passing the valley and bypass Yanran Mountain south or north, you will have to walk ten more days longer. The Han army and Wusun on the West Road will definitely follow closely, attack our tent, and drag it until the main force of the Han army arrives."

It’s even worse to turn around, it’s just a three-way attack.

Xulu Quanqu discovered that Xing Weiyang's first-hand proposal completely fell into the pit due to the betrayal of the Right Xianwang.

The best way to do this is to attack the pass westward as the furious Zhizhi said, regardless of everything, and fight to the death with the Western Army!

After the scout climbed the mountain to check the arrangements of the other party, he said that it was not like the more than 100,000 troops mentioned by the escaped person, Xulu Quanqu had made up his mind.

"Yanran Mountain is the source of all rivers and the holy mountain, and it can always bring victory to Hu."

His father, Hu Lu Gu Shanyu, defeated Li Guangli at the southernmost point of Yanran Mountain, "Su Xiewu Yanran Mountain" and returned to the dignity of the Huns.

And this time, Yanran Mountain will definitely bring luck to the Huns! Xulu Quanqu secretly prayed that if the Yanran Mountain God could do as he wished, after getting rid of danger, he would be willing to persuade the wizard to use Yanran Mountain as the new priest of the gods and worship and worship for generations.

This battle is different from the past. The Huns have lost too much and they have no way out. Unlike the common robbery expedition that retreats when they advance in favor of bad luck. This time, the Huns must fight for their own survival!

After preparing for the troops overnight, Zhizhi led the elite troops of the left to advance to disperse Wusun in the pass. When the scout team of Xiaoyuezhi led tens of thousands of cavalry to advance to the front of the Han army, he did not see the person, and heard the sound of him first.

It was a strange mooing sound, and it could be heard as the whine of countless camels, which made people feel a headache. When the dust fell, the scene in front of them was stunned.

But the Han army generals used thousands of Western Region camels to transport supplies, tied their legs and feet with thick hemp ropes, so that they could lie on the ground, then put boxes on the camel's peaks, and piled up "fightings" more than a mile long, and then covered them with wet felt. The light soldiers from Beiting and Western Regions hid inside to fight the enemy with spears or strong crossbows. Wusun and Xiaoyuezhi stopped their troops on the left and right sides, blocking the pass.

That is a city, a camel city!

In the Camel City, Fu Jiezi covered his face with a scarf to resist the camel's body odor and the flowing shit and urine all over the ground, making people put on his armor and laughed:

"The Hulu didn't expect it. I would be able to make a city overnight!"

...

Chapter completed!
