Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 18: Heavenly Sword

Zhao Chen retreated to the commoner again. He picked up the commoner and saw that it was all dust! The things here are here, but nobody has touched them for so many years!

Zhao Chen carefully rubbed his hands, and he felt that it was not like a cloth coat, but rather a leather coat.

"What is this?" Zhao Chen asked, turning his head.

"His Royal Highness, this is a piece of clothing made of ape skin!" The **** looked at the record and said.

"Clothes made of monkey skin? What's so precious about this?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"The skin of this ape is different! When Taizu smashed the world, everyone praised Taizu's martial arts invincible, but Taizu said that his martial arts is not the first, and there is still one person in the world who can beat him..." The **** watched as he watched. Record, said slowly.

"Oh? I don't know who can beat Taizu?" Zhao Chen interrupted him and asked.

"Taizu said it was Chen Tuan." The **** said.

"Who is he?" Zhao Chen said. After all, he is just a high school student and doesn't know much about this famous Taoist figure.

"This person is a predecessor of the Dao Sect. It is said that this person has lived for hundreds of years." The **** said.

"Absurd! How can anyone live hundreds of years?" Zhao Chen smiled.

"What the prince said is, but the folks highly respect this Chen Tuan! According to legend, this man dreamed of a **** in his youth, and he was taught sleeping skills by gods, and he could sleep for several years! Many emperors of the past have summoned this person, several of the late Tang Dynasty. The emperor had summoned him, and the Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty also summoned him. Later, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Zhenzong also summoned him again and again! This person is very famous in Taoism, and that Taiji picture was created by this person!" Tao.

"Taiji Tu was actually created by this person?" Zhao Chen originally thought those legends were very absurd, but he was surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, the Taiji picture was created by this person! This ape skin is a gift from Chen Tuan to Taizu after Taizu ruled the world! Taizu made clothes and put them here! As for what the clothes are. The effect is not recorded above either." The **** said.

Zhao Chen nodded slightly. Although he felt that Chen Tuan's legend was still absurd, since he was able to create something as world-famous as "Tai Chi Tu", it must be extraordinary! At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was the emperor of the Central Plains. How could the things Chen Tuan gave to the emperor of the Central Plains be simple?

"I took this thing!" Zhao Chen said.

"Yes! The villain will write it down!" The **** hurriedly said.

He went around in the armory again, and he didn't find many useful things again! Here, he found a few more famous swords, but there was still a certain gap between these swords and the Seven Star Dragon Abyss sword in his hand, so he didn't move those swords either! One of his princes brought a large number of swords to the East Palace, and if someone reported it, it would not be a good thing! He only took a sword and used it to practice martial arts, and others had nothing to say.

Now that he has finished picking, he will go to see Wang De right now! He found Wang De stopped in a corner now, Wang De's eyes were staring at a sword, his face was full of excitement!

Zhao Chen walked over and found that it was a blue sword! Unlike the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword in his hand, this sword is much longer and is a four-foot sword!

"General Wang fancy this sword?" Zhao Chen said.

"This sword is... but the Heavenly Sword!" Wang De's breathing was a little short, said.

"Puff..." Zhao Chen almost laughed out loud and said: "What are you talking about? Relying on the Heavenly Sword!"

Wang De nodded and said, "It is the Yitian Sword, that's not wrong! There are seal scripts on it, but it is the word Yitian! The style of this sword is exactly the same as the legendary Yitian Sword!"

"There is a Heavenly Sword, is there a Dragon Slaying Sword?" Zhao Chen couldn't help asking.

"The Dragon Sword?" Wang De was taken aback, shook his head and said: "I have never heard of this knife in the end!"

At this time, the old **** next to him said: "His Royal Highness, have you never heard of this Heavenly Sword?"

"No!" Zhao Chen shook his head.

"His Royal Highness, this sword is one of the famous swords cast by Cao Cao!" said the eunuch.

"Oh?" Zhao Chen nodded, motioning the **** to continue.

"When Cao Cao unified the north, he gathered all the well-known craftsmen in the north and made two swords, one called Yitian and the other called Blue Nightmare! Cao Cao used the Heavenly Heaven Sword to invigorate his might and the Blue Nightmare sword to kill people! Said in the Three Kingdoms. Taizu believed himself to be destined, suspected himself, and killed eight people with a sword at night, using the Yitian Sword! In the Tang Dynasty, a generation of poetry immortal Li Bai was a super master in the world, and he also admired the Yitian sword. Endlessly, there used to be a poem,'An De Relying on the Heaven Sword, cross the sea to cut a long whale'! This is Cao Cao’s Reliant Sword, and it was also collected by the Emperor Taizu back then!” The **** said.

"It turns out that there is such an allusion!" Zhao Chen was taken aback, and he faintly remembered something.

When he was in high school, he once read Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which contains the chapter of Zhao Zilong's Savior Riding Alone. It seems that Cao Cao has two swords, and it seems that there are the three words "Heaven Sword"! It turns out that the Yitian Sword was cast by Cao Cao. The real Yitian Sword has nothing to do with Jin Yong's novels, and there is no dragon-slaying sword that is opposed to the Yitian Sword.

"So that's it! General Wang, have you taken a fancy to this Heavenly Sword?" Zhao Chen said.

"This...this..." Wang De's face showed hesitation.

"Does General Wang not like it?" Zhao Chen asked in surprise.

"His Royal Highness, this sword is Cao Cao's saber! That Cao Cao is an anti-thief, who has usurped the world of the great man and has been stinking for thousands of years! Although this sword is good, it can't be used by the final general!" Wang De said.

Only then did Zhao Chen understand Wang De's scruples, and immediately smiled and said, "Why can't you use the sword that Cao Cao has used? Can you become a traitor with his sword?"

"This..." The use of Cao Cao's sword may not necessarily make him a traitor. It's just that Cao Cao's reputation is really bad. If a court official uses Cao Cao's sword, others will inevitably slander and betray! Therefore, Wang De was hesitant to use this sword!

"As the prince, I order you to pick up this sword, and use this sword to protect this palace in the future!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" Wang De said with joy.

He actually likes this sword very much, but he is afraid of others talking nonsense! Now that the prince has spoken, it is not a big deal if he holds it!

"Besides Yitian Sword, what else do you like, just take it!" Zhao Chen said.

"Here are all the treasures collected by the emperors of the Song Dynasty. It is a great blessing to be able to obtain the Heavenly Sword in the end. I would never dare to take other things!" Wang De said.

"Weapon is also a waste here. You have to go to the front line to kill the enemy. Whatever you value, just take it!" Zhao Chen said.

Wang De just shook his head! Zhao Chen smiled, he walked forward, and personally picked an axe and armor for Wang De, and then left with Wang De! As for the Yitianjian and other things, someone will be sent to Wang De's mansion, but Wang De can't wander around the palace with a weapon now, that's a big crime! With the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword in his hand, Zhao Chen seemed to be in a much better mood, no longer so depressed!

"The prince bestowed the weapon of the final general with a weapon, such a great grace, immortality is hard to repay! Wang De will be loyal to the prince and will always follow the prince!" After a while, Wang De said a little excited.

"You are welcome!" Zhao Chen smiled.

Zhao Chen feels that he is generous to others! Until now, he has not regarded the palace as his home, nor has he regarded the things in the palace as his own! He still does not really identify with the identity of the prince!

"Be careful on the battlefield... Do you remember what you said at that time?" Zhao Chen said.

He is reminding Wang De not to forget that when Kaifeng City is broken, he must help himself!

"Naturally remember! The prince can rest assured, if that day is true, he will climb to the palace at the end and save the prince out!" Wang De said.

"Okay!" Zhao Chen nodded, and then Wang De knelt and left!

Looking at Wang De's back, Zhao Chen sighed lightly. He didn't know if there was any time to meet after Wang De was gone! For a time, countless melancholy appeared in his heart.

On November 10th, the Song court again began a large-scale search, and there was another cry in the city of Kaifeng! Up to now, there is almost no gold, silver and silk left in the people's homes!

That afternoon, Li Bangyan personally went out of the city and gave out this batch of gold and silver!

When Li Bangyan came back with a smile on his face, he reported to Song Qinzong that although the gold and silver had not yet reached the requirements of the Jurchens, the Jurchens were very happy with the great Song Dynasty's efforts to search for gold and silver. They had promised to step back ten miles!

Sure enough, in the early morning of the second day, the Jurchen army retreated ten miles!

Song Qinzong was overjoyed. He ordered the officials to collect all the gold and silver that was "owed" to the Jurchens! But now there is really no gold and silver in Kaifeng City. The wealth accumulated in Kaifeng City for more than a hundred years has been plundered by the Song Dynasty court! At the moment Song Qinzong ordered the surrounding prefectures and counties to search for gold and silver and send the gold and silver to the gold army! The imperial court helped foreigners search for the gold and silver of their own people. This is really the biggest joke in the world, but it is what happened in the past! The shame of Jingkang includes not only the destruction of Kaifeng city and the capture of the Second Emperor, but also the many absurd things that happened before the destruction of Kaifeng city! These are huge humiliations unprecedented in Chinese history!

On November 15, the Song Dynasty court once again delivered gold and silver to the Jurchens! After this time, there was not even much gold and silver in the palace!

Li Bangyan came back from the Jurchen Army and said that the Jurchens allowed the court to use materials instead of gold and silver! Song Qinzong was overjoyed again. Starting from this day, Song Qinzong sent out a large amount of food, weapons, and household utensils stored in Kaifeng City. In the end, the soldiers on the wall didn't even wear armor. !

From November 15 to November 25, in just ten days, nothing of value was left in the city of Kaifeng!

On this night, a huge disaster struck!

Heavy snow was flying, the weather was extremely cold, and the soldiers on the walls of the imperial army were also extremely cold!

The Forbidden Army was the weakest army in the Song Dynasty, but at the beginning of the founding of the country, the Forbidden Army was the strongest army! Zhao Kuangyin relied on soldiers to become the world, so he was particularly wary of mutiny! To this end, he took many measures, one of the most important measures is "strong and weak." He concentrated the country’s most elite soldiers in the capital. For the imperial army, the number of imperial troops far exceeded that of the border troops, reaching 80 at most. Ten thousand people! Zhao Kuangyin wants to rely on the 800,000 imperial troops to suppress the border army and prevent the border army from rebelling!

It's just that 800,000 forbidden troops stayed in Kaifeng, making it almost impossible to get on the battlefield! Such an army has not participated in the war for more than a hundred years, you can imagine what it will become!

They never train because they don’t have to fight! Their weapons are never wiped off, and many soldiers of the Forbidden Army even sold their weapons for drinking! In addition, the Song Dynasty adopted the world's most chaotic military system in order to prevent mutinies, and the ignorance of soldiers and soldiers have developed to the extreme in the Forbidden Army! Most generals have not seen their soldiers for a year!

Relying on such an imperial army to defend the city of Kaifeng, there is no "suspense" at all! Don't say it is the Jurchen army in the sky, any army as long as it hits Kaifeng, it can knock down the city of Kaifeng! The Forbidden Army is just a display!

The later Southern Song Dynasty can be more secure, not the imperial army, but the peasant army! The four great ZTE generals Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others in the Southern Song Dynasty were all recruited farmers to establish a new army, and only then could they resist the continuous aggression of the Jurchens! At that time, the Forbidden Army had all been wiped out!

The military discipline of the Forbidden Army was also extremely loose. At night, countless soldiers of the Forbidden Army ran home to sleep! Moreover, these days, the Jurchens kept sending people to discuss the peace. The attitude of the Jurchens was getting better and better. Even after ten li, the soldiers of the Imperial Army became more and more relaxed. This is one reason why countless soldiers of the Imperial Army ran home to sleep. ! There are only a few people standing on the Kaifeng city wall at this moment!

When they heard the sound of horseshoes, the few soldiers on the wall finally panicked!

"Jurchen people, they are Jurchen people! What are they going to do?!"

One hundred thousand female jade horses rushed frantically towards Kaifeng City, they came to the city, and they crossed the frozen moat, they erected the ladder, and then rushed towards the top frantically!

It has always been an undefeated army like a wolf like a tiger for ten years. It has always been an almost rotten army that has not participated in a war for a hundred years. The results of the war can be imagined...
