In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and traveling far away was a fatal thing!

It is a long way from Jingdong East Road to Qinfeng Road, even if it is fast, it will take half a month to go back and forth, so Chao Gai naturally has to make some preparations.

He first personally went to visit the two eunuchs in the restaurant annex to explain his trip to visit friends. After all, during the war, it is really unreasonable to say that the other party is not happy, and he can leave his post at any time.

Fortunately, these two goods were worried that Liangshan would be exterminated too quickly, and they smiled when they learned that Chao Gai was coming. Where would it not be willing? It's just a habit of posturing, or maybe you want to get some benefits. pinched the fingertips of the orchid and said in a pretended manner, the relationship between the bandits is very big, how can the king of heaven travel far away?

However, after increasing the procurement of grain, after seeing the exquisite antiques. The attitude of these two eunuchs became extremely friendly, and they turned their faces faster than they turned books. As long as the two sides are at war, they can go as long as they want. Needless to say, he took the initiative to guarantee that Zhao Mingcheng's matter would definitely be done.

This is a portrayal of someone in the court who is easy to do!

Chao Gai left with a sigh on his face, Lao Tzu really has to thank these people in the future!

Take a leave of absence, he can travel far and wide!

Secondly, several military divisions and many commanders were convened to hold a military meeting and make a series of deployments. For example, welcome the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, who has no face and is scorched, and the dragon prince and grandson of the dragon are victorious, and officially announce their positions.

The four military divisions sat in the base camp and commanded the east and north directions of the river.

We must not leave behind the actual combat drills in the outside world.

The defense of Shuibo Liangshan was handed over to the leopard head Lin Chong, and the dragon slayer Sun An was in charge. The task of attacking Liangshan was entrusted to the flower monk Lu Zhishen, Sai Rengui Guo Sheng, Tiefu Tu Han Yong, street rat Zhang San, and grass snake Li Si to assist......

After arranging these military arrangements, Chao Gai once again focused on the itinerary. Except for a few ladies who insisted on following, the entourage was selected this time.

Due to the hot weather, the number of people should not be too large.

Wang Jin's old mother was sick, and the divine doctor An Dao was all going to go. After determining the personnel to go to Shaanxi, Chao Gai personally devoted himself to preparation.

In ancient times, long journeys were fatal, especially in summer and winter!

He has a few women in the middle, how can he do it if he doesn't care? Although it is a horseback ride, it will be unbearable after a long time.

So he's busy for three days!

Sun Sheng, the Duke of Zhuyun Long, gradually became familiar with Chaojiazhuang, and in addition to being mainly responsible for northern affairs, he also selected suitable soldiers from various armies to teach swordsmanship. Most of the people selected were nineteen-year-olds. Before that, the Taoist chief had to pinch and knead, it was strange to pick people, but others asked but laughed and did not speak.

The news of the collision between Chaojiazhuang and Liangshan continued to ferment, and the private recruitment gradually became public. Groups of sturdy young men enthusiastically joined the army, shouting slogans to suppress bandits. Several military camps in Chaojiazhuang were filled with new recruits one after another.

This is also one of the benefits that Chao Gai values, and there is a reason to recruit soldiers. It's a pity that only three or five battalions can be reimbursed, and the rest need to be paid out of pocket.

Time, approaching the end of mid-May.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and under the scorching sun, few people go out. Even in the prosperous Chaojiazhuang, the flow of people dropped greatly at noon. Cats, dogs, cows, sheep, and livestock don't like to move, and the screams of knowing are loud!

In the middle of summer, the sky and the earth are like steamers, and everything is hot. Only at night is it not so hot, and also in a hazy day.

Under the send-off of Wu Yong, Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong and many generals. Chao Gai said goodbye to everyone and led the team to set off.

The accompanying generals included Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang, Hua Zi, Chen Hu, Yu Tai, Li Huai, Yelu Ta Li, Yelu Zonglin, Taishan Baturu Nine Generals, and more than 30 soldiers, followed the fat and thin monk to the northwest.

There were several luxurious carriages in the procession.

You can see the extraordinary at a glance, not only the luxurious shape, the outside is inlaid with iron protection, and there are several horses pulled, high-end and high-grade.

This is Chao Gai, considering that his wives followed, and personally went to the military factory to organize craftsmen to modify the carriage, which took a lot of effort.

Several carriages are larger than ordinary carriages, not only look mighty, but also very spacious and comfortable inside, there are thermal insulation layers and cooling devices in the cracks, air convection devices, etc., and the temperature in the carriage is much lower than outside.

Considering that the divine doctor An Daoquan also had to take turns to rest, and even the old lady of the head of the Wang sect also needed it, so he rebuilt a few more. More than 100 people were busy for two days and three nights before the ancient RV was formed.

For example, Li Qingwan, Li Shishi, and Li Qingzhao eat melons leisurely. The divine doctor An Daoquan drank tea and greeted people with a smile. Let Han Shizhong, Yutai and other generals want to step forward and drag him out.

But offending Chao Gai can't offend this miracle doctor.

This is the unanimous opinion of the generals and monarchs of Chaojiazhuang that anyone who eats grains will get sick. Maybe one day I will count on this miracle doctor to save my life.

It can be said that the divine doctor An Daoquan, his small life is very nourishing, and he is extremely respected wherever he goes, which is much more comfortable than him in Jiankang Mansion.

In the words of Wen Junshi, there is joy here, and I don't think about it!

The crowd hurried up, and dozens of good horses spread their hooves and galloped wildly on the avenue. Until the sun scorched the earth, people rode horses, and they were sweating. The crotch of the horse was even more out of breath and could no longer run.

Halfway through, I found a large forest with a water source next to it!

"Let's bury the pot and cook and rest, and then hurry in the afternoon!" Chao Gai felt the scorching sun, wiped the sweat from his head, and ordered the rest of the horse here.

The crowd turned over and dismounted, leading the horses into the woods to find shade. This kind of long-distance training is very familiar to Chao Jiajun. Dozens of thugs were well-trained, and they consciously divided their labor without orders, some buried the pot to cook, some took care of the horses, and some were responsible for guarding......

"Chao Tianwang's command is really an elite division!" Zong came, Zong Xiang and the two monks looked at the generals who took the lead and the busy figures and sighed. When I saw that Chao Gai was no exception, I was immediately in awe.

They were also infected and wanted to help, but found that most of them couldn't, and they couldn't intervene. You can only follow the crowd to harvest grass and feed the horses.

Smokeless stoves are set up in the shade, and boilers and cookware are arranged. Piles of dry firewood and dead leaves were brought back, and buckets of water were brought back. A few folding tables and chairs are placed, and the cool white prepared in advance is poured out. Someone else took out a few large watermelons from the carriage and cut them with a few knives......

Time passed, some people were in charge of the cooking, some were in charge, and some people took turns to rest. Rice was smothering on the stove, and the smell of food filled the woods.

Zong Lai, Zong Xiang and the two monks watched directly at Chen Hu flipping the shovel, to be precise, watching the braised pork in the iron pot constantly stir-frying. The Adam's apple of the two kept stirring, and the harazi was about to flow out.

"Hahaha, two masters, eat more later!" Chao Gai watched the scene of the two monks seeing the green light in their eyes, and laughed heartily. The two monks turned their heads and hurriedly clasped their hands together, and did not recite the Buddha's name.

It's a tongue, which means to have and to get.

This scene made Han Shizhong, Hu Sanniang and others speechless.

These two monks estimated that the temple must be more restrained, and they were tired of eating vegetarian food. Now when I go out, it's to let go of my belly and eat to my heart's content. In the past few days, I have eaten Haisai in Chaojiazhuang and got along with Lu Zhishen very well. I really want to throw my arms and mess with Master Lu, and I am too lazy to go back to Shaolin Temple.

The three women in the carriage jumped out of the carriage and happened to see this scene. Li Qingwan sat beside Chao Gai, looked at the two monks and asked, "Husband, are we doing this to let the two masters break the vows all the way?" ”

"Where do you break the vows?" Chao Gai was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "Buddhism was introduced from Tianzhu to Middle Earth, and the original Buddhism could eat meat according to the teachings. So be it! I'll tell you a story, and you'll understand. ”

"Yes, yes!" Li Qingwan, Master Li, not kind and other women nodded excitedly.

It is said that before Shakyamuni Buddha became a Buddha, he encountered an eagle hunting and killing pigeons. The dove begged the eagle to go around it, but the eagle was hungry and refused. And the Buddha is a man of great compassion. Seeing this, he couldn't bear it, and held the pigeon in his hand to protect it. The eagle recognized the Buddha and said that if he saved the pigeon, he would starve to death.

The Buddha nodded, Amitabha, I have compassion in my heart, and I can't see death without help. Neither of them can die, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell? ”

Chao Gai's storytelling voice is not small, so that everyone listens with their ears pricked up. The two monks also looked over, but then their eyes widened. Because they heard the epigram that shook their hearts.

Because what Chao Gai said was: "The Buddha took out a scale, put the pigeon on it, and cut off the same weight of meat." The eagle excitedly eats it up.

The Buddha said again, if you are not full, come again?

Eagle nodded yes. The Buddha didn't say anything, but really cut off a lot of meat. The eagle swooped down and ate all the meat, and the eagle kept singing proudly.

And at this moment, the Buddha grabbed the eagle's neck. With a face full of compassion, he said to him that all living beings in the world are equal. You eat this pigeon because you're hungry, it's for survival, and that's right. But I'm hungry now, and I need to eat!

Now I eat you, and it is understandable.

But Buddhism has compassion for you, watching you hunt pigeons and save them, and seeing you hungry, cutting meat and feeding you, this is all great compassion. As for the second cut of meat for you, it is an equivalent exchange, there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate. It's all just about survival.

All beings are equal, if you can eat me, I can eat you.

Let's talk! The eagle's neck was broken, the pigeon trembled in fright, and prayed for mercy, and the Buddha was amiable, saying don't be afraid, I won't eat you, but you have to thank this eagle, it is with its death that you can live. After saying that, let it fly, and the Buddha also became a Buddha. ”

"Amitabha, donors, do you understand? What do you think? At the end of the words, Chao Gai pretended to proclaim the Buddha's name and looked at everyone. I saw that everyone's faces were a little demented, or frowning or contemplative.

There were only two monks, fat and thin, whose eyes almost popped out, and looked at Chao Gai dumbfounded. I didn't expect the other party's words to be sharp. In Buddhism, the Buddha cut meat and fed the eagle, I don't go to hell, who goes to hell The meaning has changed, but "all living beings are equal." You can eat me, I can eat you", after thinking about it carefully, I think it makes sense!
