"God General, please ......." The Hundred Vehicles Prime Minister Wu Tuoye, bowed ninety degrees, respectfully led the way for Ma Chao, and the Hundred Vehicles General Dhara on the side was more worried, and said that this general from Daqin was excellent in martial arts, and it turned out that it was just one move to kill Nimiaro.

Ma Chao walked on the cobblestone road of Da Lei Yin Temple, surrounded by tall trees, some low, some with branches and leaves spread out only in the crown. Palms, rubber trees, linden trees he was not familiar with. The pine tree in front of the dome with a pointed hall, and the cypress tree under the column-layered tower, he recognized it.

"The architecture here is different from my Great Qin." Ma Chao was still attracted to the exotic.

The accompanying elder "Nagarjuna" said: "The gods will come from the eastern soil, like these plants, all left by the Buddha, and can only be seen here." ”

If Qin Feng is here, he will definitely say that you kid will blow it. However, Qin Feng will also be shocked by the identity of Nagarjuna, this person is the prototype of Nagarjuna Bodhisattva, the founder of the Madhyamaka School, the founder of Mahayana Buddhism, the "Eight Sects of the Common Ancestor" of the Eastern Soil, and the second generation of Shakyamuni in later generations.

Ma Chao strictly obeyed the emperor's teachings, and said very kindly: "What the elder said is very true, the Buddha passed down the true scriptures, purified all sentient beings, and my emperor was enlightened by the Buddha and knew that the ancestral court was in calamity, so he sent the general to come to the catastrophe." ”

Nagarjuna never expected that Ma Chao's every word was on Buddhism, and he was overjoyed. In the heart of a monk like him, there is only the Dharma and the Buddha's principles, and everything else is outside the body. "Amitabha ......." He was very happy to proclaim the Buddha's name.

Ma Chao couldn't help but think that my emperor was really a great sage. Ma Chao came to the subcontinent, and the people's livelihood and customs were all blind. He also knew that Emperor Hongwu had never left Dongtu. And the emperor can bluff the masters in distant places with a casual word, and only prophets and saints can do it.

"Great Sage!" Ma Chao was very happy. He was a loyal general, and naturally wanted to be loyal to a wise king.

For the monks of the Great Lei Yin Temple. Although Ma Chao doesn't say much Buddhism, every sentence is unheard of and can be thought-provoking. The unreachable East can have such a deep understanding of the Dharma, so there is only one explanation, that is, it has been enlightened by the Buddha. Therefore, the monks were convinced of the identity of the Hongwu Emperor's protector god-king.

In fact, Qin Feng is just using the information of later generations to blow nonsense, blowing down one by one. However. After all, it has been ahead for more than 1,000 years, and the senior monks of the Great Leiyin Temple, the great elder Gu Nari, and the second generation of Sakya Nagarjuna, etc., all blow it is called a "pounce".

So, in front of the golden body of the Buddha, he sat on the name of the demon incarnation of Sutargarani I. In this way, the king of the country of Baicheng was nailed to death in the long river of history as a demon.

Daileiyin Temple. It was the center of Buddhism in the subcontinent, and when the identity of the Hongwu Emperor's protector god king was recognized, the four principalities were obedient. After all, the strongest Baicheng Kingdom has fallen, and it is even more impossible for other small principalities to resist Great Qin's army. Not to mention. Great Qin's army has been proven by the ancestral court, it is not the army of demons, it is the heavenly soldiers of the Protector God King.

Ma Chao was overjoyed. On the one hand, the good news was passed back by the flying pigeon, and on the other hand, he inquired about Liu Bei's information in the fancy city.

Three days later. Finally got useful intelligence, someone saw it. There was a big red face with a very long beard, and he had brought people to the city to buy supplies.

The subcontinent went to find a big red face and five strands of long hair, so it must be Guan Yu's unintention.

"To the west!"

So, when Ma Dai in the rear escorted a batch of military supplies, Ma Chao left Liao Hua to guard Hua's city, so he took Ma Dai and 7,000 cavalry all the way to the west to find it.

In the 2nd and early 3rd centuries AD, there was a large empire in Central Asia called the Kushan Empire, which stretched from present-day Tajikistan to the Caspian Sea, the Khan and the Indo. What Dawan, Khorezm, Daxia, and Punza, they were all beaten and urinated.

The Kushan Empire reached its peak under the rule of Kasserga I and his successors, with a population of 3 million soldiers and more than 200,000 soldiers, and was considered one of the four great powers of Europe and Asia at that time.

Today, however, the ruler of Kushan, the son of Kasega I, is even better. The Kushan Empire under his rule reached its peak state, and its territory was extremely vast, and its sphere of influence once exceeded the Green Mountains to the east, that is, the later Pamir Plateau, which was called the Buzhou Mountain in the mouth of our ancestors.

King Jia II is also recognized by the world as the greatest king of the Yue clan after King Jia I, ruling more than 2 million square kilometers of land.

At this time in the world to come, the world's population was about 200 million. Major populous countries: The first place is the Roman Empire, with a population of about 50 million and nearly 6 million square kilometers.

The second-ranked Kushan Empire had a population of about 10 million and more than 2 million square kilometers.

The third place is the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, with a population of less than 10 million and more than 5 million square kilometers.

In fourth place is the Rest Empire, with a population of about 8 million and more than 2 million square kilometers.

However, there was a thunderclap on a sunny day, and Emperor Hongwu crossed, and the way of heaven changed. Daqin has a population of 40 million, ranking second in the world. Although Emperor Hongwu is very sad, this is also an indisputable fact at present. Aside from the number of days of change, if Emperor Hongwu and Cao Cao had not dealt with the north and the Central Plains fast enough, the population loss would have been even more severe.

However, Daqin's territory is the largest in the world, with more than 10 million square kilometers. In the case of Dongwu in China, there is such a territorial area, which is inseparable from the construction of the Qinfeng Great Qin system. The endless grasslands and the three eastern provinces of later generations provided Great Qin with the area of another Han Empire.

The rest of the world, with the exception of Egypt and Greece, which flourished before the third century, is barren and inhabited by indigenous people.

It can be said that in the 3rd century, it was ruled by four empires.

At this time, Rome in the west ushered in a great emperor in history, and the people here affectionately called him Triumphant the Great, he was Septimius. Severu. This great emperor ended the long civil war in the country and defeated the Arshak dynasty in 197. Incorporated into Mesopotamia. Triumphant the Great, appointing loyal generals as governors of the provinces. Stepping on the Senate, appointing tribunes and consuls at will. Brutally trampled on the "democratic" system of ancient Rome and raised the Roman imperial power to the point of supremacy.

The jurist of the Triumphant Emperor said that the Emperor was not bound by a single law, that he was the ruler of anyone, and that the empire was his property.

As for the origin of the name Triumph the Great, it is because in 199 A.D. the Triumphant Emperor sank Persia (Persia was a resting subject) and built the famous Arch of Severus in the magnificent Roman Forum.

The Roman Empire, ruled by Triumphant the Great, sank Persia. He sank Arshak, taught his neighbors a hard lesson, and then defeated Great Britain. He ruled Rome as unified, open, powerful, and ambitious as to dominate the world.

The Kushan under the leadership of Kasega II reached its peak.

The rest under the reign of Vologis V was also angry and wanted to restore the former power of the empire.

The Great Qin of the East is rising.

The natives around are entertaining themselves.

Let's just say that Ma Chao travels day and night. They came to the southeastern border of the Kushan Empire, outside the province of Bharayaga. That is, on the border of the capital of the "Palayaga Country", a country in Kushan. In ancient times, these small countries generally had only one city, which was the capital. Surrounded by villages.

"The Records of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty" volume five clouds: "The country of Bo Luo Yaga, more than 1,000 miles on Friday. The capital of the country, according to the intersection of two rivers. More than 20 miles per week. The crops are flourishing, and the plants and trees are sparse. The atmosphere is harmonious and smooth, and the customs are smooth. Eager to learn. There are two schools of foreign believers, and there are few monks, and all of them are studying Hinayana teachings. There are hundreds of heavenly shrines, and there are many different ways. ”

The environment is good, located at the intersection of the Ganges and Yamana rivers.

Entering an unknown area, even if there is a translation guide from the Hundred Vehicles Country, I can't find a specific direction for a while. Ma Chao also camped on the bank of the Ganges River to rest, and at the same time sent scouts to catch some natives around and come back for questioning. He took out the world map drawn under the guidance of Emperor Hongwu, and only then did he roughly know that he had come to the boundary of the Kushan Empire.

Although Qin Feng's map is simple and only has an approximate area, it can also help Ma Chao.

"The emperor Shengming actually knows the boundary thousands of miles away." Ma Chao sighed, "Only the Great Sage can be so prophetic, and the Sage Kong may not be able to compare with my emperor, and Lao Tzu who rode a green ox and ascended can be compared." ”

A day later.

Ma Chao did not wait for the expected indigenous captives.

"Report ......." A scout rushed into the account and bowed: "Report to the general, the big thing is not good, the 20,000 troops of Guishan are coming!" ”

"What!" Ma Chao was taken aback, stood up from his position, and from the mouths of the hundred people, he knew that Guishan was a powerful empire, vaguely like the Han Dynasty in its heyday, with an army of millions. is about to make contact with such a country for the first time, and Ma Chao is inevitably unsettled.

At this time, the interpreter "Deva" changed his face and exclaimed, "It's not a good thing, although the Kushan people also believe in Buddhism, they are very aggressive, and often call themselves descendants of asuras. Asura King, do you know? He is one of the eight protector gods of the Buddha Kingdom, and he is also a warlike evil god! The general still prepared early, and if not, we will go back. Rest and Guishan have a bad relationship, often fighting, and Guishan does not dare to attack the fancy city lightly. ”

Ma Chao gradually calmed down, he still admired this apprentice of Elder Nagarjuna, who was much more enlightened than those senior monks and elders. I heard that this person had traveled to many places to preach, and he had also traveled to Dongtu to contact the sects in Dongtu.

"If Guishuang dares to make a move, then let them know how powerful my Great Qin warriors are! Beat the drums and gather the troops, go and see the army of Kushan! ”

To the sound of rumbling drums, 7,000 warriors in armor and guns mounted their horses and followed their horses beyond the village.

It turned out that when Ma Chao sent scouts around to inquire about the news, Guishan's scouts also found out the news of the Great Qin army.

The appearance of a powerful cavalry force on the border, with a banner never seen before, and a very unfamiliar face, not from the subcontinent, nor from the Sabbat, nor from the Western Regions, greatly shocked the border general, Ghassanid. "Did it fall from the sky?" On the one hand, he spread the news to the national capital, and on the other hand, he led 20,000 troops to check.

At the confluence of the two rivers, the two sides set up their own formations.

On the Great Qin side, nearly 10,000 cavalry were silent, and the war horses were also well-trained, with almost no sound.

On the other hand, the Guishan side is very lively. Their mounts are taller than their horses, and they are ...... Uh-uh-uh...... The strange cry of coughing continues.

Deva, the interpreter of the army, was taken aback, and it seemed that Guishan was very careful about the Fancy City, and had actually placed 20,000 camel soldiers on the nearest border. This class is very noble, and its strength is also very strong.

Ma Chao had never seen this kind of creature, his voice was weird, and his appearance was also "extraordinary", so he couldn't help but change color slightly, and said to the left and right: "It's really a strange thing in the world, these horses have horns on their backs and their necks are so long!" ”

Ma Dai, the deputy general on the side, thought for a while and tried: "General, this may not be a horse!" ”

"Not a horse?" Ma Chao was shocked, "What is that?" ”

"Huh......?" After Ma Dai pondered for a while, he said, "It may be a giraffe ......." ”

"Giraffe!" Ma Chao's face changed again.

"Amitabha!" Deva was frightened and chanted the Buddha's horn. (To be continued......)
