Chapter 262: The Great War is Imminent
In the West Chi Bizhen Temple, two monks, an old man and a young monk, sat for more than three days, even if the water and rice did not enter during the period, the monks in the temple did not dare to disturb.
These two are both well-known living Buddhas in the world, with supreme wisdom, but the two who should have fought the Fa have not said a word since they met, just sat cross-legged opposite each other.
A string of pure white prayer beads in the hands of the little monk, occasionally turning, the opposite side is rumored to be the reincarnation of the old monk is a string of black prayer beads, whenever the little monk turns the prayer beads, the old monk will stop moving, after a long time, it will turn, and the cycle repeats.
In Buddhism, there is often a saying that ordinary monks would sit on a futon and debate a passage in the scriptures, quoting scriptures and expounding their understandings.
The high monk is mysterious and mysterious, one will point to the sky, one will point to the ground, one will stretch out five fingers, and one will touch the top of the head...... Even talking is omitted, and outsiders are confused.
This way of arguing the scriptures, which can only be understood but cannot be spoken, has also attracted a lot of criticism, and some people have even made up jokes for this purpose, ridiculing the explanatory teachings and making false ones.
……
"Shizu and his old man haven't eaten for three days, doesn't it matter?"
"You know what? That's called Meditation, and the Master said that after Meditation, you will travel thousands of miles, even if you don't eat or drink, it's fine. ”
In the backyard of the Vichen Temple, a pair of small novices whispered.
"When do you think we'll be settled?"
"I don't know, Master said that many uncles and uncles in the temple have been practicing for decades, but they haven't settled down yet, and the more anxious you are about this, the more you can't ask for it."
While the two little novices were talking, the two monks in the room who were very different in age finally changed, and the older monk took the lead in smiling and said in a calm tone:
"That's it, if we continue to argue like this, I'm afraid there will be no result by the end of the year.
Tantra and Central Plains Buddhism both advocate helping the world to save people, and there is a catastrophe outside at the moment, so why don't you and I save more lives than anyone else? ”
Hearing this, the little monk nodded, and took the lead in getting up and walking outside the house, followed by the old monk.
……
In the West Chijing Division, there were swords and guns, and the atmosphere was tense, with only 20,000 soldiers in the city, but there were 800 white elephant troops and 50,000 elite soldiers outside the city.
A month ago, Princess Apu went to her uncle Banerjee's residence to ask for help, and Banerjee was very enthusiastic, not only took Apu to visit the local scenery, but also gave her a lot of precious jewelry, but did not mention the matter of borrowing soldiers.
Every time Apu mentioned it, he prevaricated for various reasons. Suspicious, Apu secretly sent a letter, and the next day, Banerjee's personal guards surrounded Apu's room, nominally guarding it, but in fact placing him under house arrest.
Only then did Apu know that the other party had been involved with a prince, and she would be locked up here until it was done.
Seven days later, at night, Banerjee's White Elephant Barracks was suddenly set on fire, and the White Elephants fled in all directions, killing many elephant soldiers in a panic.
Woken up in the middle of the night, Banerjee was about to check, but was intercepted by a group of men armed with sharp knives on the way, tied up and taken to a place full of torture instruments.
Under the coercion and temptation of the other party, Banerjee not only wrote a handwritten letter to release Apu, but even presented it with both hands, not because he was afraid of death, but because he was fighting for the throne with the old emperor, it was more thrilling than ever.
The reason why he finally chose to compromise was that the other party's torture methods were too inferior.
One of the guards would touch his ass from time to time, and his mouth would make a slurp, which made Banerjee's scalp tingle.
Under the double destruction of body and soul, he finally chose to compromise.
When Apu took eight hundred white elephant soldiers and Ah Xiu to make peace, it turned out that the secret letter was not sent at the beginning, but was directly intercepted, Ah Pu couldn't help but be a little puzzled, since it was not Ah Xiu, who would be the person who saved him.
Three days later, 20,000 Xichi elite soldiers came from the east, and just when everyone was waiting for them, Apu recognized the leader of the other party, who was the Xichi general who loved him.
The man's name is Anand, in his early thirties, he is the leader of the Young Zhuang faction of the Western Red Dynasty, and he is in charge of 30,000 elite soldiers alone at a young age, stationed along the eastern route all the year round, and is a horn with the dynasty army.
"Apu, long time no see."
The man spoke familiarly.
"Didn't you just save me from Banerjee?"
Apu is not stupid, and now that the situation in Xichi is in the west, only the other party will help.
The man smiled honestly when he heard this, and he was noncommittal, but Ah Xiu on the side saw this, but he was like a great enemy, and he was secretly worried about his general.
……
In the next twenty days, with the blessing of 800 White Elephant Army and 20,000 Xichi elite soldiers, Apu's side was like a bamboo, not only quickly attacking the other side of the river, but also hitting the Beijing division in one go.
The armies along the way, controlled by the two princes, tried to resist at first, but after finding that they were not opponents at all, they either abandoned their armor and fled, or were absorbed by Apu, and by the time they attacked the capital, Apu had 50,000 troops in hand.
The 20,000 troops in the city were ready to fight, except for some old and weak, the rest fled from the city early with their families. This royal city, where the people sharpen their heads and want to enter on weekdays, has become a tiger's den in Longtan at this moment.
Apu was wearing light armor and carrying a sharp blade at his waist, and the battle of more than 20 days made this fair-eyed woman have a little more heroic and murderous on her face, she looked in the direction of the city gate and said:
"Attack at noon."
"Yes." "Understood."
The two men replied together, and when they had finished speaking, they looked at each other with unkindness in their eyes.
"Princess Apu, I'll lead the troops in a while." Ah Xiu was the first to say.
"No, his 10,000 Dynasty troops are not familiar with my Xichijing Division at all, let me come first, my 20,000 elite soldiers are carefully selected."
The man named Anand emphasized "10,000" and "20,000" in order to compare each other in terms of numbers.
"Princess Apu, don't listen to him, his so-called elite soldiers are not chased and beaten by my general on the battlefield, or it is safer for me to take the lead."
"Nonsense, it's obvious that Wang Zhiru has to hide away when he sees me."
The two of you said one sentence to me, and they didn't notice that the face of the woman on the side was getting colder and colder.
"Don't make a fuss!" Apu glanced at the two of them, "In a moment, I will personally lead eight hundred white elephant soldiers into the city, and you will follow." ”
"Then I'll be the second." "I'll follow you."
The two spoke almost in unison.
Seeing this, Apu sighed and stepped aside to bother the two of them.
Along the way, the war is certainly tiring, but the most tiring thing is watching these two people quarrel. In just 20 days, the two quarreled 200 times, and every time they were trivial, they would fight each other over trivial matters, and even whoever fetched water and cooked had to earn it.
Apu is smart and naturally knows the thoughts of the two, but the more she does this, the more upset she becomes.
Of course, she likes Wang Zhiru, but the other party never responded to her, and just when she was about to give up, the other party did not hesitate to lend 10,000 horses, which made her unable to guess her true thoughts.
Apu shook his head and suppressed the chaotic thoughts, the big battle was imminent, and she couldn't help but be in love with her anymore, looked at the sun, and she commanded in a deep voice:
"Noon is approaching, prepare to attack!"
