Zhu Faya didn't dare to snub the edict of the Heavenly King of Zhao State, but he really couldn't understand that the two armies were facing each other in Hanoi, so why was there any need to summon himself there?

The Heavenly King wants to hear the teachings? No. According to the teacher Buddha Tucheng, the king of heaven really has no wisdom roots, and his knowledge is very bad, so he basically can't understand the gist of Buddhism, and teaching him the Dharma is like playing the harp to a cow; At the same time, Shi Le himself did not waste his precious time and energy in governing the army and the country, and he was interested in listening to the monks' teachings from time to time.

So could it be that there are too many dead people in the army, and the anger is too heavy, so he summons himself to chant sutras? Can't we wait for the class teacher to talk about it? Are you in such a hurry?

So he was confused and came to see Shile, who immediately ordered him to go to the Jin camp and preach the Dharma to Pei Gai. Zhu Falla said blankly: "Even if the Jin general is a good Buddha, the confrontation between the two armies is a major national event, I am afraid that I will not listen to the words of the little monk, and retreat......

Zhang Bin explained beside him: "The monk is here, and he is doing two things. First, to find out whether the person is a good Buddha and understands the Buddha's principles; Second, look at the ambition and temperament of the person. The so-called 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles', if we can penetrate the hearts and minds of the enemy generals, our army will have a chance of victory. ”

There are many people in the world who know about Pei Gai's former imprisonment in the camp; But what the specific situation was at that time, and how much interaction he had with Shi Le and Zhang Bin, Zhu Faya is not clear. Otherwise, you will definitely ask back, you have been with him for so long, and you can't understand his ambition and temperament, so how can I have a new harvest if I go on such a trip?

didn't dare to resist the order, so he had to take the order and go to the Jin camp to see Pei Gai.

Pei Gai is planning a formation in the camp, intending to build this line of defense extremely solidly, even if he leaves, and Zu Ti still can't afford it, just relying on the ancestral family's several troops, he can also resist Zhao Kou, and he will not be defeated suddenly. Suddenly, I got a report that a monk came from the camp and asked to see him, and I couldn't help but be at a loss.

Zhu Faya was afraid that Pei should refuse to meet him, so he directly reported the name of his teacher Buddha Tucheng. Pei Gai really didn't know who he was, but he knew Buddha Tucheng, and said in his heart that the old monk's high feet came to persuade me to withdraw from the army? Which bastard came up with such a ridiculous plan?!

I wanted to see it, but I was inevitably curious, so after thinking about it, I finally ordered to ask the monk to enter the account. Zhu Faya entered the tent to give gifts, Pei Cai ordered him to sit down, and asked, "Monk Xi came to see me, what is the matter?" Could it be that the Master has a letter to me? ”

Zhu Falla clasped his hands together and replied: "The little monk is clumsy and weak, and he only has a glimpse of the way in Buddhism. Today, when I heard what the great Sima said, there was a saying of 'lotus flower with a tongue', like the story of the world-honored one, and I couldn't help but feel itchy, so I took the liberty to come to seek advice. ”

When Pei Gai heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and said in his heart that I really said the wrong thing......

Since his soul comes from 2,000 years later, it is inevitable that one or two idioms from later generations will be missed in his daily conversations—especially some idioms are used quite frequently by later generations because of their simple words, but they will not deliberately explore their origins.

In the past, it was fine, and he would take care to replace those idioms with clear origins, and most of the leaks were simple and without specific allusions, and the other party should be able to understand their meaning and would not ask questions; The second is to talk to the scholars, you make a word, and I don't know the reason, how embarrassing it is...... Most of the people pretended to understand and took the initiative to be vague.

But with the gradual improvement of his status, he was surrounded by a group of literary attendants, such as Guo Pu, Hu Fei, etc., and he often couldn't help but get to the bottom of it. After all, Da Sima is talented and talented, and what he says must have a deep meaning, and since we are his subordinates, if there is anything that the subordinates don't understand, they will directly ask the commander for advice, and they will not be ashamed. They are all people who are aspiring to learn, and there is no end to learning, who can know all about everything? If you don't know how to ask, it's the teaching of the saints.

This forced Pei Gai to wipe his ass frequently, some pretending to be vernacular and not knowing the source, and some simply made up some sources in order to fool him around. In fact, as soon as the phrase "Lotus Tongue" came out a few days ago, he felt that something was wrong - it seems that it was an allusion to Buddha Tucheng, right? Will Zhang Bin realize that I have a lot of spies lurking in Xiangguo, and I will carry out a big investigation and purge when I go back?

Whoever thought that some idioms were not born because of their allusions, and often had to wait for later generations to see the records before they were summarized into specific words. As soon as Pei Gai listened to Zhu Faya's question today, he understood-at present, it is estimated that even Buddha Tucheng himself does not know that there is such a word......

So he smiled and said: "The monk is mistaken, this statement has nothing to do with the teachings." Could it be that in the whole world, only Tianzhu has a lotus? This flower is also born everywhere in my China - I see that the monks are Chinese, not Tianzhu people, or people from the Western Regions, and they must know this. ”

He directly blocked the words, and Zhu Faya was almost speechless. Fortunately, most of these monks, who were accustomed to preaching, gave their tongues with their mouths, so they went downhill and said, "I see. For the first birth of the world, that is, there is a lotus flower, complex in the Buddhist scriptures, mostly to the lotus as a metaphor, so the little monk smells the lotus, he thinks it is related to my Buddha. Although the great Sima Yun has nothing to do with it, since he said this, he thinks that he has a fate with my Buddha......"

I took the opportunity to preach Buddhism to Pei Gai. After all, the Buddha came to Chengdong, is to spread the Buddha throughout China, who wants to encounter the Central Plains chaos, he inexplicably had to follow the people, resulting in a great increase in influence in Zhao, but in the Jin soil for several years without an inch. Zhu Faya is not only a Chinese scholar, but also knows the regret of the teacher, and said that if I can take this opportunity to say that the great Sima of the Jin Kingdom is to the Buddha, this is also a great merit!

Since you have come, how can you return empty-handed? Besides, Shi Tianwang and Mrs. Zhang want me to look at Pei Dasima's character, if I can't talk to him for a while, what can I see? How can I get back to my life when I go back?

Pei Cai did not refuse people to be thousands of miles away, took a moment to listen to the monk's lectures, and the right was resting, so he smiled, and Zhu Faya's mouth was like a river, gushing endlessly. But when I can't move, I get impatient—this doesn't seem to be the same thing as Buddhism as I understand it.

Because after the introduction of Buddhism to Middle-earth, there was a great change, combined with local customs and Confucianism, Taoism and other concepts, and gradually formed a separate school that was completely different from Tianzhu and the Western Regions. But this change is gradually formed and perfected, for the time being, it is still at the beginning of the change, and Zhu Faya's declaration is the set of Buddha Tucheng, and nine out of nine are still the color of the Western Regions.

Some of the Tiantai, Pure Land, Vinaya and Zen Buddhism that Pei Gai came into contact with in later generations did not have any of them in these years—most of the Middle-earth sects have their roots in Kumarosh's translation of the scriptures, and Kumarosh was not yet born—and he often sighed when he heard Zhu Faya's teachings that were close to fundamentalism.

If he was not a noble person, every word and deed would be looked upon by tens of millions of people, Pei Gai couldn't help but take some Buddhist theories from later generations to raise the bar with Zhu Faya, but after all, he didn't want to put any more "great virtues" on his head, or just the hat of "good interpreter". It's just that the more inconvenient it is to speak, the more uncomfortable it becomes, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, and waved his hand to interrupt Zhu Faya's talking, saying, "Monk can do it." Our military affairs are so good that we really don't have time to listen to Buddhism. ”

Then he asked, "Since the monk has come from Zhao Ying, then the lord of the Buddha should not just explain the Buddha's teachings to me, right?" If you really mean it, you might as well say it clearly. ”

Zhu Faya listened to the question, and felt a great sense of frustration in his heart...... Of course, he couldn't say that I just came to see what kind of person you were, and after a little consideration, he said: "I Shi family emphasizes nursing, and the family teacher has previously advised Zhao Tianwang to ask for less killing, so he saved tens of millions of lives." Now that the two armies are clashing, it is inevitable that they will be ruined, that is, the soldiers and generals, and they will be inhuman? How can you endure the bloody field, and the bones will not return home? King Zhao Tianwang is also sincere, hoping to make peace with the Great Sima Yan and secure the borders to avoid killing. ”

Pei Gai smiled: "This is a lie, the monk lies to his face, isn't he afraid of falling into hell with his tongue pulled?" ”

He accidentally said the wrong thing again...... Although the theory of the eighteen layers of hell began in Buddhist scriptures, the relevant content has not yet been translated into Chinese, and when the monks preach in ordinary times, they are all in Sanskrit antiphons. Therefore, when Zhu Faya heard the saying of "tongue pulling hell", he couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked: "What Da Sima said, I don't know what the scriptures come from?" ”

Pei Caixin said, "How do I know which sutra it comes from...... Immediately vaguely said: "Today, I am guarding Hanoi, and it is the Kou who is coming to disturb me, not me." If you want to stop the army and make peace, Zhao Jun can retreat by himself, so why send a monk to come to me? In order not to show any more flaws, after just a few words, he blasted Zhu Faya out.

Zhu Faya reluctantly returned to Zhao Ying, repeated the words before and after to Shi Le, Zhang Bin and others, and said: "Hearing Pei Da Sima's words, I really have a fate with my Buddha, and I seem to have a little understanding of Buddhism, but I refuse to admit it." Or in a venerable position, reciting the teachings of Confucianism and saints every day, and not wanting people to know that he is a good Buddha. ”

Zhang Bin repeatedly chewed on Pei Gai's words when he talked to Zhu Faya, and then asked, "How about the monk seeing him?" ”

When Zhu Faya returned, he already had a draft, so he immediately replied: "A gentleman, courteous, and not arrogant, not like a general with a heavy army." However, since I am in a respected position, I have my own authority, and once I chase away the guests, I will not dare to stay for a long time......"

Zhang Jing sneered beside him: "Pei is treacherous, treacherous, and virtuous, and the most pretending to be. The monk is gone, it is useless after all! "It means that Zhang Mengsun is doing this too much, and he has no plan to break the enemy at all, so he has to do some inexplicable tricks to deceive the king.

Zhang Bin didn't bother to pay attention to him, but turned to Shi Le and said: "The minister probed the meaning of Pei Wenyue's words, but he really has no desire for a decisive battle, and our army can only retreat first, so as not to injure the soldiers' spirit, and consume grain and straw in vain." I hope Your Majesty's permission. ”

Shi Le was also helpless, and said Okay, let's just retreat first-"If Pei should chase after him, who should be cut off?" ”

Zhang Bin said that Pei should definitely not chase, if he dares to chase him, we will be on the shore of Qinshui and fight with him - "Naturally, after the Taiwei is broken, it is the safest." ”

After Shi Hu was killed, Zhao Jun returned from camp. When the news reached Jinying, Pei Gai couldn't help laughing and said, "Sure enough, it's not what I expected!" ”

When Zhu Faya had just left, he had already made an assertion: "Zhang Mengsun had no plan to break me, but sent the monks to come and find a reason for the slaves." In fact, he didn't understand why Zhu Faya came, and thought that Shi Le's face couldn't go up and down, so Zhang Bin found a monk to lie that he would save his life for all the soldiers, avoid killing, and give Shi Le a step down-" At most, five days later, the Qiang Kou will retreat. ”

When the Zhao army really withdrew from the camp, all the generals obeyed Pei's foresight. Zhen Sui, Feng Tie and the others immediately asked for orders to pursue, Pei Gai squinted at Zhen Sui and said: "If you pursued this before, you fell into the enemy's trap, don't you repent?" If the slave is not defeated, he will retreat, and he will be left behind, and there will even be an ambush. ”

Zhen Suinu said: "Even if there is a break, there is an ambush, we just move forward cautiously." If the thief does not chase after him, let him come as he wants, and leave as he wants, will it not be a great setback to our army...... The majesty of the Grand Governor? ”

Pei Gai sneered: "Come if you want to come, leave if you want to?" How could it be so easy! He immediately ordered Zhen Sui to continue to defend the fortress, and he led Wei Ce and Feng Tie's two armies into Yewangcheng to meet Li Ju, and then went north to Taihang Pass to attack Shangdang.

Shile had not left Hanoi, and when he heard this news, he could not help but be surprised. He just got the news not long ago, the Shangdang branch Qu Liu led troops to reinforce Xihe, and now the county is empty, if Pei should really break through the barriers and go straight to the Shangdang, then the entire state will be unstable!

The key is that Pei Jun still has a group under Jiexiu City, which is clearly a strategic deployment of two parallel roads and the whole map and state......

Zhang Jing suggested: "If the Jin division goes to the party, I should rush back to the army between Yewang and Taihang to cut off his way back, then Pei should be captured by me!" ”

Zhang Bin said that you understand this truth, doesn't Pei should understand? He advised Shile: "Pei Wenyue wants to tie me up with this, so that he will not dare to advance and dare not retreat, and continue to patrol Hanoi to consume our army's food and materials." The minister expects that this is a false soldier, and he will not dare to join the party, Your Majesty, don't be confused. ”

Zhang Jing glared and said: "Taifu can dare to guarantee with his net worth and life, and the Jin people will not join the party?" If I still stay in Hanoi, he will not dare to go north with the whole division, and if I retreat to Xiangguo, then he will summon Zhen Sui, and even Li Ju, tens of thousands of troops, north over Taihang, it will be difficult to rescue at that time, what should I do?! ”

Zhang Bin said: "Taihang is dangerous, how can it be easy to break?" And although the king of Hejian has encountered setbacks and sticks to Jiexiu, he should not be embarrassed, I expect that the Jin people will not dare to go deeper. It is possible to urgently summon the general of the small branch to return, protect the party, and hold with Jin Kou for a long time. If Pei Gai doesn't retreat, he will consume grain in vain, but I can return to Xiangguo and recharge my energy in order to make another move. ”

The two argued endlessly, and Shi Le was unable to make a decision for a while, so he was forced to stay between Huaixian and Wude to wait and see. In this way, the New Year's Day of the following year was hurriedly ushered in.

Until the middle of January, Pei Gai estimated that it was almost the same, consuming half a month's more grain and grass for the army, and it was also to the limit, and if it continued to consume, it would inevitably "kill a thousand enemies and lose 800 yourself". Only then did he order the whole army to return to Yewang, and then after determining that the main force of the Qiang army had left Hanoi County, he led his troops to cross the Yellow River and return to Luoyang to resume his life.
