Chapter 50: Temptation to Rebel

Udan, the most remote and small country in Anxi.

Fa Xian recorded for the first time in the "Records of the Buddha's Country" that this country in the Western Regions was called Wuchang Country, and the Tang Xuanzang monk and the "Tang Dynasty Western Regions Chronicle" recorded it as Wudana Kingdom.

It has always been remembered here as Udana.

The country of Udana is located in the midst of green mountains, originating from the Swat River in the snow-capped mountains.

Pei Min responded to the lion king of the Arab Empire, went to the border line between the Tang Dynasty and Arabia, and came to the country of Udana first.

Naren Yaqi, the king of the kingdom of Udana, was honored and welcomed by the whole country.

"The small country of Xitui can get a visit from the prince of the Heavenly Dynasty, and the great fortune is supreme."

The closer you get to Tianzhu, the more Buddhism flourishes.

This Naren Yaqi was clearly a devout Buddhist.

The Great Fortune Supreme, just like Amitabha, is a slogan.

Pei Min knew that the geographical location of Wudang in the later generations was equivalent to Khyber in present-day Pakistan.

As the Ba Tie of later generations, the relationship between the Udiana and the Chinese Dynasty in this era is also very deep.

Since the Jin Dynasty monk Fa Xian and his entourage arrived here, the successive generations of Middle Earth monks went to Tianzhu to study Buddhism, all of which must pass through here, including the high monks Song Yun and Huisheng during the Northern and Southern Dynasties; The Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang was like this.

Especially during the Taizong period, the Tang Dynasty was invincible.

The king of Udana, Dharma Indrahas, once sent an envoy to offer dipterocarp and other tributes, and presented it to Emperor Taizong and said: "Great merit supreme! The best of all kings can break through all darkness. You are like the king of Shakti, who can subdue the king of asuras. Because of the good roots that I planted in my past life, I was born as a caste. Now, worship the Supreme with this table and offer tributes such as dipterocarp. ”

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty's military power has become increasingly strong, and it has strengthened its control over the Western Regions.

Uzuna also became a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty once again.

Udana has a unique high valley climate, producing gold and iron.

There is no shortage of iron in China, but due to the factors of topography and environment, the iron in China has an average texture.

Far less good than the Western Regions, Japan, Silla and other countries, but the simple and wise Chinese people, with supreme wisdom, smelted iron of ordinary texture into hundreds of steel, making it more effective than high-quality steel.

However, if the Western refined iron, the Oriental and steel, supplemented by the Chinese smelting technology, the weapons manufactured are the most perfect weapons.

The iron ore abundant in Wudana is slightly inferior to Damascus steel in terms of quality, but it is much better than the iron ore in the Central Plains of China.

Therefore, the imperial court purchased the iron ore of Udana infinitely and used it to make weapons.

Wudana is a small country, and for this reason, it has won the attention of the imperial court.

Pei Min chose to settle in the country of Udana, which was also to express the importance that the court attached to Udana.

For the king of Udana, Pei Min, a non-Buddhist believer, also rarely responded with Buddhist etiquette, folded his hands, and shouted: "Great Fortune Supreme!" ”

Nalian Yeqi enthusiastically led Pei Min to visit the country where he could run from left to right that day.

They don't look at the scenery, they look at the feelings!

Nalian Yeqi pointed to this stone bench and said that Song Yun, a high monk of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, was resting here, and pointed to that high slope and said that Huisheng was lecturing here, what is this not feelings?

Of course, what really interested Pei Min was Xindu River.

Nalian Yeqi pointed to the river as muddy as the Yellow River and said, "Back then, Master Xuanzang came from Tianzhu and passed through this river, because the boatman was negligent. The true scripture taken by Master Xuanzang fell into the water and was washed away by the river. It is the king of our country who ordered the high monks in the country to help. Xuanzang, a senior monk, stayed in our country for more than 50 days before he was able to supplement and complete the scriptures and bring the true scriptures back to the Celestial Empire. ”

As a liberal arts student, Pei Min has naturally read "Journey to the West" in the four famous novels, but there are similar chapters in the book, and he couldn't help but say: "Wouldn't this be the Tongtian River, the boat house carrying Master Xuanzang has become a turtle?" ”

Nalian Yeqi knew about this stalk, and when he heard it, he was confused, and he was at a loss, and said: "This river is translated as Xindu River in Huaxia, not Tongtian River." Master Xuanzang's boat is called Lao Yuan, which means a big turtle, but it is not a real turtle. ”

Pei Min didn't expect that there was really such a stubble, and he grinned loudly, laughing so much that the accompanying group of people from Wudana Country were inexplicable.

After a day in Udana, Pei Min traveled to the Kabul River to meet Mosley Massa the next day.

The Kabul River originates in the Sangelah Mountains west of Kabul and has become the border between the Arab Empire and the Tang Empire.

Pei Min led the Shence army to the Kabul River and asked them to wait for him to go alone.

Ge Shuhan shouted: "Pei Shuai, let the last general accompany you!" ”

Pei Min waved his hand casually and said, "It's just a matter of seeing a defeated general, it's not worth working so hard." ”

When he came closer, Mosley Massa had already arrived early, and he was also alone, wearing a thick bearskin coat, sitting on a gorgeous Persian carpet, with all kinds of refined wine glasses and utensils in front of him, as well as many delicacies to drink, and eating by himself.

Pei Min dismounted and stepped forward, went to his shoes, and walked on the soft Persian carpet.

The craftsmanship of these various ethnic groups is indeed unique.

The carpet on Pei Min's mansion is also of the highest quality, but compared with this Persian carpet, it feels obviously inferior.

Sitting down face to face, Mosley Massa filled himself with a glass of wine.

Pei Min directly reached out and grabbed it, drank it all, smashed it twice, and said a lot.

He actually spoke Arabic, although he was a little awkward, but the words were to the point, but he expressed it very clearly, which meant: "It's just good wine, but it's a pity that this wine glass is used incorrectly." Wine with a glow-in-the-dark glass is the perfect combination......"

The golden hair of the shaman Moslema trembled, took a new wine glass, filled it for himself and said: "You Orientals will be messy and exquisite, I really don't believe that the same kind of wine, the wine glass is different, and it will become delicious when you drink it?" ”

Pei Min was stunned and gave a thumbs up to Mosley Massa, what he said was actually Huaxia, and the words were used very appropriately.

Pei Min said sincerely: "This time you won once, the Chinese culture is broad and profound, far better than you." You can learn Huaxia more than I can learn your language. ”

Mosley Massa couldn't hear that he was belittling himself and improving his country, and said disdainfully: "! @#¥%…… The ghost is so profound that I learned it in ten days! ”

What he said in front of him was sarcasm and derogatory, esoteric phrases that he could not express in Huaxia, just like the half-toned English of later generations, half Arabic of his own family, half of Huaxia.

"It's not only been three days!"

Anyway, if bragging is not illegal, how can Pei Min weaken his prestige?

Mosley Massa glared and said, "What a shame! I'm still going to have a day! ”

Pei Min smiled strangely: "It's better to write a sentence between you and me, and see which of us can recognize it accurately." Whoever recognizes it, who says it right. What do you think? ”

Mosley Massa said: "Compare to whom, who is afraid of whom!" ”

Without hesitation, he drew the sword he had set aside.

There are many big stones by the river, so I found a stone tablet and carved a line of Arabic characters.

Pei Min also found a decent stone tablet at the same time, Qin Huang's sword was unsheathed, his wrist shook slightly, and the stone chips fell in a hurry.

"That's it!" Mosley Massa put his sword back into its sheath and looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Pei Min wrote a string of bosses, but stopped almost at the same time as the other side.

Mosley Massa came close without saying a word, looking at the series of words, and felt dazzled.

His eyes widened, and he read word by word: "The sea is facing and falling, and the floating clouds are long, long, long, and long......"

Of course, Mosley Massa was the first sound, and the more he read it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Chinese was already tongue-twisting, and he couldn't read it anymore, and his tongue was a little knotted.

Pei Min laughed heartily, this sentence, without a certain literary foundation, if you don't study it well, you can't read it at all.

Mosley Massa also knew that he had mispronounced it.

Pei Min read the correct reading of this passage slowly, and explained the meaning to him.

After listening to Pei Min's explanation, Mosley Massa's face turned blue.

It's obviously a few words, how can there be so many ways to read it.

He couldn't help but shout: "You are a liar! ”

Pei Min rolled his eyes and said: "My Chinese culture is broad and profound, homophones, fake words, and polyphonic words are ever-changing, even seventy or eighty-year-old old scholars dare not say that they are proficient in my Chinese thousand-year-old culture, you can speak a few words of Chinese language, and dare to say that Chinese culture is simple?" ”

He slowly came to another stone monument, squinted at it, and couldn't help but say, "At this level, you still come to offer ugliness?" ”

Mosley Massa's face couldn't help but flush.

Pei Min is both civil and military, his characters are at the level of a calligrapher, and the regular script is first-class in the world, while Mosley Massa is a simple martial artist, and the characters can be written, but like ants crawling, this sword carving is even more ugly, crooked.

Mosley Massa wrote a suspense poem with the characteristics of the Arab Empire, rough and natural, telling about love and expressing feelings.

Pei Min learns the Arabic language in order to better understand the situation in Arabic, just as Mosley Massa learns Huaxia.

It's about understanding the general trend of your opponents, not about studying their culture.

However, compared with the esoteric meanings between Chinese cultural characters, Arabic characters, like English, represent the meaning of death, and are not worth scrutinizing at all.

Even if Pei Min couldn't understand the righteousness, he recognized it word by word.

Moslemassa seemed to realize that he was really no rival in this regard, and immediately changed the subject: "I don't know you like you......" He looked up to the south, pointed to a city in the distance, and said: "There is Peshawar, do you know the history of Peshawar?" ”

Pei Min didn't think about it, and said directly: "It was the capital of the Kushan Empire, with 200,000 troops back then, and it was one of the four great powers at that time, alongside the Han Dynasty, Rome, and Rest in China. It is also the center of Buddhism, my Chinese monk Fa Xian, the Northern Wei Dynasty envoy Song Yun and the Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang have been here, Xuanzang said in the "Tang Dynasty Western Regions" that this is the land of abundance of "flowers and fruits". ”

Mosley Massa praised: "Sure enough, he is still as knowledgeable as ever. But that's all in the past, and a year ago, I led my army to storm the city and destroy all the temples. Now in the whole of Peshawar there are only mosques with my *** religion believers. ”

"I think that in life, you should do whatever you want and show your strengths happily. Instead of being trapped in a cage, he is obviously an invincible male lion, but he is trapped in a cage like a cat. The Battle of the Turphoric Cavalry, I understand. Why bother dealing with an idiot? directly led the troops to attack and kill. Which way needs to be calculated step by step, and it is fearful. Great heroes and husbands should do what they want, not shrink back and listen to others. ”

He opened his arms and said, "I, Mosley Massa, respect heroes the most, and I'm looking forward to a vigorous duel with a hero who is not restrained, not a beast trapped in a cage." Be a man but like Wang Mang, not Huo Guang, I can help you get out of the cage......"

Pei Min smiled: "Can I understand that you are afraid?" Want me to get out of my country? If that's the case, you don't have to bother with it. Above 10,000 people, it may not be happy, do what you want, it may not last long, and under one person, you may be at ease. What the future holds, no one can predict. I, Pei Min, am Pei Min, go my own way, what Huo Guang and Wang Mang, what do their examples have to do with me? ”

Above 10,000,000 people, Li Shimin and Yang Guang are the most vivid examples.

Li Shimin is so good, although it is a loss of personal morality, but from the emperor's point of view, his achievements are almost perfect!

But didn't he pay a great price?

Walking and twisting his butt a few times, some people asked him to pay attention to the king's manners and play with birds, and some people said that he was discouraged by playthings, and he may not be as comfortable as a normal person.

Yang Guang is at ease, doing whatever he wants, and doing everything.

But what happened to him and what he did to the world is well known.

Compared with them, Guo Ziyi under one person is much more comfortable.

"The power is not taboo in the world, there is no doubt about the merit of the world, and the extravagant and poor people are not degraded."

If a person can reach this realm alive, he is really happier than the emperor.

Pei Min didn't want to follow Huo Guang and Wang Mang, nor did he want to follow Guo Ziyi's path.

He Pei Min is Pei Min, and the future is in his own hands, not accused by outsiders.

But one thing can be determined, Li Longji has the grace of knowing him, treating him as a national soldier, and he also repays him as a national soldier.

As long as the Li family does not live up to him Pei Min, he will never live up to the Li family......

Mosley Massa wanted to use the Discord Meter on him, using the wrong target.

"It's because I've been staring at the Western Regions, and I didn't leave you a chance to take advantage of, so I'm unhappy?"

Pei Min smiled, and the reason for the exotic road was broken.

Mosley Massa laughed and said, "I don't want to take advantage of others, if I like to take advantage of it as much as you do, I will raise my troops and go north while you are fighting the Turks." ”

When he said this, he actually acquiesced to Pei Min's words in his heart, and he could feel that Pei Min was also guarding against him when dealing with Tu Qishi.

In order not to let yourself fish in troubled waters.

Through personal experience, Mosley Massa has realized that the Tang Dynasty was not as strong as the military power of their Arab Empire.

The strength of the Tang Dynasty was strong and the lead in all fields, while the strength of their Arab Empire was only strong militarily.

They clearly lost out in this regard.

In the face of such a powerful empire, Mosley Massa rarely chose to be a lobbyist.
