Chapter 82: The Old Man of Buddhism
Lu Bu's halberd was dropped from the south gate of Xiapi City, from the White Gate Tower. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe reason why the White Gate Tower is called the White Gate Tower is because the rammed earth of the city gate and the city tower is white compared to other city walls, because there are no bricks, and the soil used is not very different. As for what kind of soil is used, Cao Pi does not know, when this building was named was already more than a hundred years ago, when Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty placed the Pi country, sealed his son Yan as the king, led 17 cities, governed the next Pi, when Liu Yan rebuilt the south gate after this building was called the white gate by the descendants.
At this time, Cao Cao had already led a large army into Xiapi, and it should be said that Liu Yan had built Xiapi very well. Xudu now only has two inner and outer urban areas, but Xiapi has three urban areas, the innermost is naturally the Xiapi Wang's mansion, but now for a long time it is for Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian to live, Tao Qian died, Liu Bei lived, and later Lu Bu lived.
The middle city is the place where the officials who manage the Xiapi State work and live, of course, there are some nobles of the family who also live in this city, and the outer city is where ordinary people live, because the Xiapi City is large, and the outer city can also garrison tens of thousands of troops, which is not urgent.
At this time, Lu Bu's army stationed in Xiapi City had already disarmed and surrendered, and it was no one else who let this group of people disarm and surrender, it was really Song Xian, a general under Lu Bu. As for the person who threw the halberd down the White Gate Tower, it was Hou Cheng, this Hou Cheng and Wei Xu took advantage of Lu Bu's inspection of the city tower for a while, and rushed up with their cronies and tied up Lu Bu. Then let his accomplice Song Xian persuade the rest of the troops to surrender, and then Wei Xu led his troops into the inner city and captured Lu Bu's right-hand man Chen Gong, as for Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, because the sergeants under his command learned that Lu Bu was tied up and had no fighting spirit, so the two were also arrested by Wei Xu.
Song Xian, Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng rebelled and got the support of the Xiapi clan, because the situation in Xiapi was the same as what Cao Pi said before, most of the grain was washed away, and eating was a problem, and the Xiapi clan, which was the pillar of the economy and productivity, would certainly not accompany Lu Bu to starve to death, and rebellion was an inevitable choice.
It is worth mentioning that when these people caught Lu Bu, although they were on top of the city tower, the place was narrow, and they couldn't be used, and the soldiers first hooked Lu Bu's hands and feet with hooks, and then they suddenly attacked, but they still let Lu Bu kill thirteen people with his bare hands, and then because the wound was bleeding and his strength was not enough, he was pressed, this kind of martial arts is really rare.
After Cao Jun entered the city, he immediately received a warm reception from the Xiapi clan, although Cao Cao released water to flood Xiapi to the ground, and now there is a lot of garbage on the street, but these clans did not feel angry at all, but warmly invited the generals of Cao Jun to drink and feast, but Cao Cao laughed, because he still has a lot of things to deal with now, so he can only make an appointment with these clans until the evening.
Cao Pi followed Cao Cao into the city, and after Cao Cao dealt with the clan in the city, he said to Cao Pi: "And go up to the city tower with my father to see this Lu Fengxian, who has the courage of a tiger." Cao Pi agreed, followed Cao Cao and paced, and the direction was towards the White Gate Tower.
At this time, Cao Cao's army had already gone to receive the soldiers, only Xu Chu and the Tiger Guards of Yitun Tiger Guards were on the left and right, and they were walking in the outer city, when suddenly a person rushed out of the crowd, knelt on the side of the road, and shouted to see Sikong.
Xu Chu, who was at the forefront, was furious and was about to step forward to kick this person away, but Cao Cao said: "Zhongkang is slow!" Then he said, "Men of the way, come forward." ”
When the man heard this, he walked forward on his knees, stopped at the battle in front of Cao Cao's horse, put his hands together, raised them above his head, and said: "Zhilou Jia's disciple Zhiliang, see Sikong." ”
According to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, this salute is nondescript, Cao Pi looked at this person carefully, he was young, he should be around twenty, with a high nose and deep eyes, not a native of the Central Plains, but like a Hu person. Da Leng Tianzhi was wearing a sackcloth and didn't shiver, and he seemed to be in good health. The most conspicuous thing is that he has a shaved head.
"O apprentice of Zhi Zhi........ It's a disciple of the deceased. How is your teacher? ”
"Worrying and terrified, the family teacher has sat down four years ago."
Cao Cao smiled at Cao Pi and said: "This Lou Jia is the translator of Buddhist scriptures in Luoyang White Horse Temple, although he is not a person from my Middle Earth, but he is very knowledgeable, twenty years before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he translated a lot of Buddhist scriptures, and when his father was an official in Luoyang, he also had dealings with this person. ”
Cao Pi nodded, indicating that he knew that he didn't know much about Buddhism in the late Han Dynasty, so he could only nod.
Cao Cao said to Zhi Liang: "Why are you here? ”
"Luoyang City broken, I and the family teacher left the White Horse Temple, wandering around, hungry, after the next Pi Xiang Rong built the Futu Temple outside the city, the Nine Mirror Tower, attracted the people in the Buddhist door to come here, the family teacher and I also settled in the temple, five years ago, Sikong brought troops to Xuzhou, the family teacher heard that the old man came here, so he left the temple and wanted to see Sikong, but did not want us to arrive, Sikong has withdrawn, to return to the temple, Zhenrong has left with monks and nuns, and then Xuzhou changed hands, Futu Temple was dilapidated, and the family teacher also sat down, I stayed in Xuzhou and made a living by hunting in the mountains and forests near the temple, and when I heard that Sikong had entered Xiapi, I came to visit. Zhi Liang said.
Cao Pi listened and calculated the time, presumably what he said about Cao Cao's army in Xuzhou was the time when Cao Cao sent troops to attack Tao Qian because his father Cao Song died in Xuzhou, but later the Yanzhou people rebelled with Lu Bu, so Cao Cao returned to the army.
Hearing Dao Zhiliang say this, Cao Cao was a little moved, and said with a smile: "It's rare that you still remember your old friend, and you will go back to Futu Temple, and tonight you will be alone with the Xuzhou clan to rebuild the temple and restore the incense." ”
Zhi Liang thanked him and left. Xun Yu on the side suddenly said: "Sikong, this person is a member of Buddhism, staying in Xiapi to preach, will it be demagogic?" ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Buddhism likes to say that there are three lifetimes of cause and effect, that is, a person is born in one life, the past has no beginning, the future has no end, the cycle of life and death, there is no end, and all the good and evil blessings are all felt by the good and evil that they have done." What is valuable is to have a merciful heart, not to think of greed, and to practice good deeds in order to be liberated from birth and death. Such remarks can make the people in distress feel comforted in their hearts, and they will be willing to abstain from greed and do good, and they can make the powerful and powerful have some fear and dare not be arrogant. Proper usage can ensure that the people of a place are clear. ”
Cao Cao laughed: "Fengxiao is erudite, and it is only my mind." ”
Xun Yu also smiled and said: "Fengxiao has dabbled in Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, and he is really knowledgeable. ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "Bo but not fine." ”
While speaking, the group had already arrived at the bottom of the White Gate, at this time Liu Bei was waiting under the city tower, there were two people behind him, these two people were wearing shabby Mingguang armor, tall, comparable to Xun Yu, but they were stronger than Xun Yu.
When Liu Bei saw Cao Cao, he immediately stepped forward to salute, and the two people behind him also saluted, and Cao Pi took this opportunity to look up and down the two people behind Liu Bei.
