The Yuezhi delegation arrived very quickly. On September 25, the envoy and his party arrived at Heicheng Pass under the escort of the army sent by Wang Mang.

However, Zhang Yue only sent a Baishi official to greet them, and casually placed them in the inn where the Heicheng Shou specially placed foreign missions, and sent a few Hu slaves to serve them, which seemed to not pay much attention to them.

This made the Yuezhi messenger very anxious.

"The Han Dynasty is not worried at all. Is Dayuan destruction?" Segala, as the deputy envoy, couldn't help but find the Zhengzang Posuti and complained: "Don't they know that if the Huns were asked to destroy Dayuan, the whole world would be in chaos?!"

Posuti frowned, looked at the shadows of the Han Dynasty officials coming and going outside the window, and said, "Today's fruit, yesterday's cause has been planted..."

"Thirty-six years ago, the Han envoy came to our country to seek to fight against the Huns... Thirty-six years later, I came to the Han Dynasty to fight against the Huns..." Posuti couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name: "All causes and laws are for dissipation, and all actions are impermanent, just for Nirvana!"

So he said to Segala: "You must always remember the teachings of the World Honored One!"

When the delegation heard this, they folded their hands together and praised Posuti: "Good, twelve fates are born, good, the five aggregates are eliminated!"

For the Yuezhi people who are now firmly convinced by Buddhism, all things in the world have long been doomed to a cycle of reincarnation.

The fruit of today is the cause of yesterday.

Cause and effect entanglement, so all kinds of sufferings of the five aggregates are attached to them. Only when Nirvana dissipates can the repeated cycles of reincarnation be terminated.

Therefore, the Buddha said: What has arisen and is destroyed, and what has calmed down is happiness. Therefore, all things are indeed impermanent, and the only eternal truth is the birth and death of the law of cause and effect.

Just like now, thirty-six years ago, the Han asked the Yuezhi, and thirty-six years later, the Yuezhi asked the Han.

The law of fate is entangled, and the cause and effect are entangled, so this is normal, or even a good thing!

Because in this way, one retribution will return to another retribution, and fate will naturally be eliminated, and peace and joy will be born.

So the entire mission immediately calmed down, everyone sat down, meditated and recited scriptures.

The sound of the Sanskrit singing made a great example of the inn, which attracted the attention of the inside and outside of the inn.

Naturally, the abnormal behavior of the Yuezhi people was soon reported to Zhang Yue.

"The Yuezhi people sang the song of their hometown in the inn?" Zhang Yue immediately understood when he heard this. These monks were chanting scriptures! He ordered: "Don't pay attention, just ask people to stare at the mission, and do not allow them to contact others privately, especially to prevent them from gathering..."

Zhang Yue was not worried elsewhere, but he was afraid that these Yuezhi people would have the intention of preaching in Juyan.

This is not good!

In fact, Zhang Yue had no attitude towards religion. Just like in later generations, he could go to a Buddhist temple first, give the Buddha an incense stick, ask the master to explain, and then go back and find a Taoist priest to do a fortune teller. When he goes down the mountain, he will go to the church to talk to the priest.

In essence, treat everyone equally.

But the problem is that as a glorious former civil servant, Zhang Yue has always abides by the law.

He always remembers that state laws do not allow any form of preaching in public places.

These Yuezhi people want to promote Buddhism?

Can!

Please go to their temple!

And there is no such building in the Han family.

Therefore, if the monks want to preach the Dharma, please report first, and after approval, they will select a site to invest in the construction of temples. They must promise to abide by the Han laws and do not preach doctrines that deviate from public order and good customs, and do not preach ideas that deviate from the mainstream values ​​of the Han Dynasty and the culture of the Xia Dynasty.

At the same time, taxes must be paid according to the chapters—oral taxes, calculations of taxes, manuscript taxes, corvee labor, and monks must also follow them.

It’s impossible to say that if you believe in Buddha, you don’t have to pay taxes and serve!

You should know that in the Han Empire, even the descendants of the princes and princes must pay taxes and serve!

………………………………………

When the Yuezhi delegation was sitting quietly in Juyan and singing, thousands of miles away, another part of the delegation was led by Qi Keli, but was running wildly in a mess.

Thirteen days ago, Qi Keli was still imagining with great enthusiasm to build an earthly Buddhist country in this east, and to impart the compassion and great virtues of Buddhism to the monarchs and ministers of Wusun.

But now thirteen days later, Chicori no longer had the intention of the time.

Now he just wants to escape back to his hometown west of the Pamir Mountains and tell his compatriots what he witnessed - the Huns are too barbaric! These barbarians are Asuras! They are pawns of the demons!

"It can be won..." After finally finding a place to rest, Chicori climbed down from the horse's back panting, wading up in the dense grass, gasping for breath, and recalling what he had seen and heard in the past ten days.

Countless scenes flashed back in his mind, making him feel frightened just thinking.

Thirteen days ago, he was talking about the various subtleties of Buddhism with Wusun Kunmo and his ministers, and he spoke the Dharma of the World Honored One by one, making Wusun ministers infatuated.

But at night, a bad news came - the Hun cavalry was discovered, with tens of thousands!

At that time, the people of Wusun didn't care about talking about the Dharma with him anymore.

Wusun Kunmo and his generals hurried back to command.

As an envoy, Chicori was arranged in the central army.

So, that night, he only heard the constant sound of shouts and rumbling horse hooves sounded from all directions like thunder.

In tension and anxiety, he waited until dawn to make a claim, but as soon as he made a claim, he saw a battlefield like purgatory.

At that time, in his sight, the Wusun people's camp was in a mess, with burning domes everywhere, lying horse corpses and human limbs and broken limbs.

There were people from Wusun, some people from Kangju, and even those from the Huns.

Wusun Kunmo sent someone to tell him that although the despicable Huns last night ignored morality and attacked them as allies.

But the brave Wusun soldiers stubbornly repelled and defeated the insidious Huns' attacks, beheading thousands of them, and their own losses were minimal.

However, in order to avoid harming the innocent, Wusun planned to retreat a hundred miles to the west bank where medicine kills water, and then go to the other side.

Qi Keli knew at that time that the Wusun people were just trying to save respect.

Because of the situation on the battlefield and the decision of the Wusun people, he had already told him that Wusun suffered heavy losses and paid a heavy price to barely repel the attack of the Huns.

Later, Qi Keli learned that the Wusun people in Ye had lost at least 2,000, and the Kangju side suffered more than 1,000 losses, and almost all the defense facilities were destroyed, while the Huns had only a few hundred casualties at most.

Therefore, Wusun Kunmo Liejiaomi had to give up his plan to fight the Xiongnu, and then led his troops to retreat to the Yaoshu River. One of them reorganized the defense, and the other continued to restrain the Xiongnu, so that the Xiongnu could not attack Guishan City with all their strength. At the same time, they sent people back to the country and request reinforcements.

So, Wusun Kunmoweng returned to Mi and ordered him to visit the west bank of the Wusun Anmi to lure the five thousand cavalry behind the palace, and to protect the main force from retreating to Yaoshui.

However, the Huns did not give the Wusun army this opportunity at all.

These terrible barbarian cavalry moved quickly and came and went like the wind.

What shocked the Wusun people and Qi Keri even more was that these terrible and cruel enemies were able to freely draw bows, aim and shoot arrows on the horse's back.

And the one who is opening is a hard bow, not a small bow with a range of no more than ten steps!

Not only that, the Hun cavalry can also snatch the horse with one hand and slash with the other hand, chasing their enemies.

Since the retreat, these barbarian cavalry followed like shadows, tightly attached to the retreating Wusun cavalry, and launched an attack from time to time to consume the horsepower and energy of the Wusun cavalry. Every night, several large-scale night attacks were organized, making the Wusun people unable to sleep well!

Such days lasted for three days, and the Wusun army could only retreat less than twenty miles a day.

Every step back is bleeding.

Originally, if this were the case, the Wusun army would still accept it. After all, the Wusun army has an absolute advantage in terms of military strength!

The Huns could only harass them, but did not have the possibility of a decisive battle with them and defeating them.

Moreover, the Wusun cavalry also had the ability to shoot and chop against the Huns.

Especially the direct ten thousand cavalry of Wusun Kunmo, they are well-equipped and well-trained.

They are said to have imported everything from the armor they wear to the weapons they are in.

Whenever this unit was dispatched, the Hun cavalry would be driven dozens of miles away.

However, there were not only Wusun people in the Wusun army.

There are also ten thousand Kangju cavalry!

The three consecutive days of harassment and temptation allowed the Huns to capture this weakness.

So, at dawn on the fourth day, when the fatigue of the Wusun sentry and the alerters reached its limit, the main force of the Huns concentrated on the defense of the Kangju cavalry and launched a fierce attack. In the face of the Huns' attack, the Kangju people who were already tortured, who had not even made symbolic resistance, and they had a total collapse.

Countless soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt in front of the Huns to surrender.

And more Kangju soldiers rode their horses back and fled in fear.

These people became the sharpest and sharpest weapons of the Huns!

The Wusun people were anxious and did not think of a way to prevent the spread and spread of this disaster in time. Therefore, their defense lines and cavalry arrays were instantly dispersed by the defeated soldiers.

The riverside where medicine kills water became a carnival for the Huns.

It was at that time that Qi Keli got separated from Wusun Kunmo, so he had to flee to Yaoshu West Bank under the protection of his personal troops and some of the Wusun defeated soldiers.

But the Huns pursued the troops, but they kept chasing them.

There was no way, Chicoli and others had to run away.

The fleeing in a panic for several days made them exhausted physically and mentally.

In the panic, he had already forgotten his direction and geography. Now, Qi Keli didn't know where he was? How far was the Huns from him? How was the situation of the Wusun people?

Now, he just wants to have a good sleep, then get up and have a full meal, and then go back and tell his master and compatriots that Dongfang is too dangerous!

We should stay in the local area obediently and don’t die!

Because, in Qi Keli's opinion, even the most elite Yuezhi cavalry, compared with those savages who are well-equipped, superb shooting skills, and able to shoot bows on horseback, they are simply scumbags, but just mortals' army.
To be continued...
