A knife in love

Chapter 3749
When Murong Danyan said this, he paused for a moment, and then continued: "Emperor Taizu found a ruined temple in the city to rest that night, woke up early the next morning, ate a steamed bun, and left Dingyuan County in a hurry. Traveling all the way to the south. At that time, Emperor Taizu knew how to beg for alms. Every time he went to a village or town, he would go to the front of the landlord, rich family and other big families. He didn't chant some chaotic Buddhist scriptures aloud. , that is to use their own homemade wooden fish hammer to knock the wooden fish until the mountain rings, which is often quite rewarding. However, there are also some rich families who do not believe in Buddhism. He often sent his family members out to yell at Emperor Taizu, and even beat him. At first, Emperor Taizu was humiliated and beaten, and he was full of shame. He just wanted to run away. To live, these humiliations are nothing at all.

"At that time, the world was in chaos, and wars were everywhere. It often took ten and a half months to enter a large city where many people lived. During this time, I walked through mountains and villages, only to see bones, skeletons and ruins everywhere. When Emperor Taizu was on his way, he often ran out of food. He either starved for several days or dug some wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger. He hurried on the road during the day, passing through deserted villages and wild mountains, and lived in dilapidated houses or caves at night, often encountering poisonous snakes and wild animals. Attack. Even those hungry dogs, after eating human corpses, became like hungry wolves, often attacking Emperor Taizu. In order to survive, Emperor Taizu had to wrestle with these animals almost every day, unknowingly During this period, not only his body became extremely strong, but he also learned the techniques of boxing, kicks and spears and sticks without a teacher. His boxing and kicks and spears and sticks are completely different from every move of the martial arts school. Although it is not as thoughtful and free as when a martial arts master makes a move, it is extremely fierce and cannot be underestimated.

"Sometimes he couldn't find alms from a rich family. The Emperor Taizu had no choice but to beg for food from poor people's homes. These people were poor, and some had to sell their sons and daughters to barely survive. Their hearts were already full of anger. Seeing Taizu When the emperor came to beg for food, they either cursed or beat him with their fists, which made Emperor Taizu suffer from neglect and ridicule. Corrupt officials and wealthy and tyrannical gentry who are rich and unkind, all of them cannibalize people without spitting out their bones, and they are more terrifying than evil spirits.

"Emperor Taizu originally planned to go to the south to escape disaster. At the beginning, he traveled all the way south, but before he reached the bank of the Yangtze River, he heard that the south of the Yangtze River was full of wars. Tartar soldiers and rebels were fighting in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. It was extremely miserable. After hearing this, Emperor Taizu was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he didn't dare to cross the south of the Yangtze River. He could only run around between the Jianghuai River and the Huaihe River. He wanted to avoid the slaughter of the Tartar soldiers and the robbers and robbers Blocking the robbery, he is worried every day, and can only live in the mountains and woods, really like a bereaved dog.

"At that time, the rebel army was attacking the city and plundering land in the Central Plains, and gained the upper hand. Although the Tartar court sent troops to conquer many times, they were all defeated and fled in the end. Seeing that the rebel armies everywhere fought more and more, the number of Tartar soldiers decreased. The imperial court had no choice but to imitate the method of the imperial court at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and issued an edict to let the tyrants from all over the country recruit regiments to deal with the rebels. After the imperial edict arrived in Henan, it led to two great Tartar generals. One was called Chahan Timur, and the other It was his adopted son Kuokou Timur. After seeing the notice posted by the government, the father and son immediately took out their family wealth and recruited soldiers and horses. Although Chahan was a Tartar, he read more war books written by Han people on weekdays. Although he is young, Kuo Kuo is resolute and courageous, brave and good at fighting. The father and son took thousands of recruited soldiers and horses, first wiped out the rebels in the left and right, and then attacked the rebels in other places in Henan. Although the rebels They were powerful, but they couldn’t defeat Chahan and his sons. After repeated defeats, they had to withdraw from Henan. Chahan’s father and son became famous, and the Tartar soldiers who were beaten by the rebels and were shrunk in the city all returned to Chahan’s command. After receiving the military report, the Tartar Emperor immediately granted Chahan the King of Ruyang, and asked him to lead the Tartar soldiers to wipe out the rebels from all over the country.

"After Chahan was granted the title of King Ruyang, his attacks on rebels from all over the country became more and more fierce. Henan is adjacent to Shandong. Chahan attacked Shandong first, defeated five or six rebels, and occupied most of Shandong's land. His adopted son Kuo Kuo led an army to march south. , Breaking down several groups of rebels between the Yellow River and the Huaihe River. The rebels did not dare to take the lead, so they had to retreat one after another. The Tazi soldiers made a comeback and reoccupied a large area of ​​land. The fighting in Huaibei and Huaixi temporarily subsided.

"At that time, Emperor Taizu had been wandering abroad for three years. From an ignorant young man, he had grown into a strong man who had gone through hardships and knew how to behave in the world. He hid in various places in the Huanghuai region, experienced countless dangers, and relied on Clever, witty, and strong, he was able to turn danger into luck and escape with his life. He heard that the Fengyang area had been recaptured by the Tazi soldiers, and the flames of the war had been extinguished. He thought to himself that when he left Huangjue Temple that day, Gao Bin I said that once the natural disasters and man-made disasters are over, the monks can return to Huangjue Temple to practice. Although I am not enthusiastic about chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha, I have been wandering outside for three years and there are endless wars everywhere. Take shelter in Jue Temple, and then figure out what to do next.

"Emperor Taizu made up his mind and returned to Fengyang immediately. At that time, most of the Huanghuai area was dominated by Tartar soldiers, and the rebels had already retreated and fled. Therefore, the war subsided and they would no longer be frequently looted by defeated soldiers. Although the officials sent The guards set up checkpoints on the official roads to check passers-by. The Emperor Taizu held a certificate and only carried a wooden fish and a clay bowl for alms. The monk was in a dilemma. So Emperor Taizu returned to Huangjue Temple safely without any danger.

"The Emperor Taizu returned to Huangjue Temple, and only then did he know that most of the monks had not gone far after leaving Huangjue Temple. After dark, Gao Bin's confidant monks quietly returned to Huangjue Temple. It turned out that Gao Bin In order to save food and money, he only wanted to drive out the monks who were not close to him on weekdays from Huangjue Temple. As for the monks who helped him collect rent from his tenants and secretly groped for him, Gao Bin was naturally reluctant to get rid of them all. Drive away. So he secretly ordered these monks not to go far after leaving Huangjue Temple, and to return quietly to the temple after dark. The monks understood, pretending to be panicked on the surface, and left Huangjue in a hurry After dark, they sneaked back to Huangjue Temple and remained in the temple. Only honest monks like Emperor Taizu were really driven out of Huangjue Temple."
