"From the beginning, who made your monarch order the invasion of the Okawa border?"

Han Yun asked, staring at Gan Boer.

Gambul's face was full of piety, and he replied honestly,

"I don't know."

"Huh? Who do you think will get you here? ”

"Both Talmu and I guess that it is the Buddha Gate, because no one can say anything about these kings except the people of the Buddha Gate, and at the same time let the five great powers send troops to invade Dachuan.

But I don't know if it was the Bodhisattva's order. ”

"Why do you think it's the Bodhisattva's order?"

"Because the Bodhisattva is in charge of Buddhism, only the Bodhisattva has the supreme power, although the Arhat also has a high status, everywhere is the existence of the admiration of all the people, but we all know that the Arhat is just a thug, and only the Bodhisattva has the final say in Buddhism."

"What is the order that your king has given you this time?"

"Attack the Jade Gate Pass."

Gamble replied quickly.

"Heh, don't you monarchs know that you can't break the Jade Gate? Moreover, you have an army of 150,000 in Hami Kingdom, and there are only 100,000 here in Yumen Pass, what is the order that the other 50,000 received? ”

"The order given to me by the monarch is to attack Yumen Pass, fight to the death and not retreat, and if it cannot be defeated, I will do my best to inflict greater casualties and losses on Dachuan.

Another 50,000 troops were attacking the plateau mountains west of Qinchuan, together with the armies of Ruoqiang, Cheshi and Luobu. ”

"What are their orders?"

"I don't know."

"In other words, you received a headless and brainless order, fought a headless and brainless battle, and in the end, you didn't even know what your goal was, and you died in vain."

"Yes, when we talk about it, we are very angry, the king sent us out to die, if someone beats our country, we will defend our country, and if we die, we will die, and the husband will die as he deserves.

If you invade other countries, you can win the war, at least you can grab food and resources, or land, and strengthen the country.

But our monarch, let us fight a battle that we know we will lose, and we will gain nothing but the lives of our soldiers, the food and grass, and the country's war resources.

Not only me, but also the soldiers were angry. ”

Speaking of this, Gambler was full of resentment.

"Then why don't you withdraw your troops and rebel?"

Han Yun said curiously.

"Withdrawal? Rebel? We don't dare, if we die in Yumen Pass, at least our country's wives and children can still live, if we withdraw our troops and rebel, then not only will we die, but our wives and children will also die.

Because this order is given by the Buddha, it is impossible for us to disobey it without punishment.

What's more, our Hami is different from Loulan, our country still has civilians and troops, our rebellion is just one thing, and we don't want our country to ignite the flames of war.

On the one hand, there are many strong people and strong troops in the Yumen Pass, on the other hand, there is our own country and Buddhism, both ends of the road are blocked, we can only choose to fight to the death against the enemy.

It's a pity that I can't be as decisive as Talmu. ”

Han Yun asked while thinking about why the other monarch had to send his country's army over to send him to death,

"Who is Talmu, the commander of the Loulan army? What did he do? ”

"Yes, he is the commander of Loulan, and Loulan sent all the men who were able to move in the country to the battlefield to die this time, and he didn't give him food and grass, this is to destroy the country.

On the night of the attack on Yumen Pass, Talmu discussed with me, and he said that I would not be able to go back anyway, so I asked him to hand over the grain and grass, and then he returned to China with 50,000 elites to rebel and kill the king.

And the remaining 100,000 people were all thrown into the territory of Dachuan.

Staying here anyway is a sure death, and there are benefits to doing so.

First, it can fill the stomachs of the soldiers and live a few more days.

Second, it can cause greater casualties and losses to Dachuan, and Talmu said, fighting a war, not only our own deaths.

Third, you can attract the army of Yumen Pass and give me a chance to face the enemy in a fair manner.

He did everything he said, but unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to face off against the enemy in the end. ”

Hearing this, Nie Ze immediately asked,

"Talmu withdrew his troops and returned to China to rebel, didn't you say that Buddhism would not allow you to disobey orders?"

Han Yun sighed, what a simple truth, there is no other way to go in Talmu.

Gambul said,

"Talmu has been driven to a dead end, no, the whole of Loulan is facing the crisis of extinction.

If he doesn't bring people back and let all the young and strong people in Loulan die here, then it won't take a generation, and more than half of the rest of the people in Loulan will starve to death, and the population will not be able to reproduce.

You have also seen that in the Loulan army, there are many old people who can't lift a knife, and children who are not as tall as a wheel.

Talmu took these 50,000 elite young people back, whether the rebellion was successful or not, these people could be put into production and planting, so that Loulan Guo could breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they could survive this year, even if they starved to death, Loulan Guo's national strength could slowly recover.

He had no choice but to do so for the sake of his country, even in the face of pressure from Buddhism.

And I am different, my 100,000 people died, at most their vitality was greatly damaged, the military strength of Hami was seriously damaged, but the national strength is still there, as long as there is no war of attrition and fertility is encouraged, it will only take one or two decades, and the population will recover quickly. ”

After listening to Gan Buer's words, Nie Ze looked at Han Yun and said,

"How do I think that Talmu is fooling this Ganbul, asking him to come and send him to death, let those hundreds of thousands of people come to die, drag us down, and then he sneaks back to the country with his troops."

"Talmu is a ruthless person, and he knows how to save his country, but this is not important, the country of Loulan is no longer worth mentioning, and the country of Hami has no strength to fight again.

What is important now is to find out the intention of Buddhism, it will let the armies of the five countries come and send them to death, and even if they don't count the casualties, they will also cause greater losses to our Dachuan, so what is his purpose? ”

Hearing Han Yun's words, Nie Ze also sighed and said,

"Yes, I can't figure it out at all, what good can Buddhism do in this way other than anger our Dachuan."

Enrage?

Han Yun keenly grasped the word, felt that the key point to break the game was here, and then extended his reverie, but he couldn't think of what benefits provoking Dachuan could bring to Buddhism.

Han Yun is not the kind of person who doesn't want to think about it if he can't figure it out, on the contrary, he is a person who is good at intelligent warfare, and if he can't figure it out, he has to keep thinking about it.

But a wise man thinks a thousand times, and he will make a mistake, and even if he racks his brains, he can't figure out what Buddhism is trying to do.
