Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 952 Good and malicious

  Emperor Han, perhaps because Liu Bang's inheritance was too strong, so all the emperors of the Han Dynasty paid special attention to the matter of cheap, um, swords.

  So basically the Han Dynasty, whether it was the Western Han Dynasty or the Eastern Han Dynasty, or even Liu Bei's Shu Han, were very keen on casting swords, and they also connected it with the so-called induction between heaven and man.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, adhering to the inheritance of the Qin Dynasty, the sword was an important weapon on the battlefield. Whether it was a one-handed sword or a two-handed horse-slashing sword, they were often used on the battlefield. However, with the development of metal smelting technology, the strengthening of armor Afterwards, after the direct stabbing ability was limited, in order to enhance the killing ability of soldiers on the battlefield, the ring head knife replaced the long sword and became the main combat weapon of the soldiers, while the long sword became more of a ceremonial item. and decorative utensils.

But even so, the long sword was still a very important weapon in the Han Dynasty. Even many gentry children liked sabers, as did princes and ministers. Therefore, the emperor of the Han Dynasty gave a saber to a minister, and there was a reward meaning, but it does not have the additional effect of holding the emperor's sword like the later generations to be arrogant and hacking everywhere.

  After leaving the long sword behind, Xun You didn't continue to say anything, but just told Fei Qian that Han Emperor Liu Xie had high expectations for him, etc., and then left.

  If it wasn't for Fei Qian walking too fast, Xun You would have been caught off guard. Xun You will not take the initiative to find Liu Xie, hoping that Liu Xie can coordinate the relationship between Zhong Shao and others and Fei Qian, but unfortunately, although Liu Xie has made a move, it is not the one that Xun You hoped for. .

  Actually, Xun You didn't quite agree with Liu Xie giving Fei Qian the long sword, but since Liu Xie had already decided to do so, Xun You couldn't object categorically...

  Xun You didn't know the origin of this long sword. If he knew it, he would find a way to refuse it if he really couldn't say it. More often than not, Xun You belongs to the kind of person who doesn't tell if you don't ask. If you ask, you may not say it right away. It's like swallowing lukewarm water, which will definitely make the impatient person faint on the spot.

So although Xun You felt that something was wrong, it was still Liu Xie's way of expressing his importance to Fei Qian. The most important thing is that now Shangshutai is in the hands of Zhong Shao. The making of the book naturally aroused the ideas of Zhong Shao and others. On the contrary, it is easier to operate as a gift like this, so Xun You finally followed Liu Xie's order and brought this long sword to Fei. latent.

  The sword came into Fei Qian's hands, and then the question also came into Fei Qian's heart...

  The swords are good. It can be said that the Han swords are quite good, and they are very beautiful.

It is not the same as most of the so-called ancient long swords in later generations. The hilt of this sword is not long, that is, less than 20 centimeters in length, so it is a one-handed sword. The center of gravity of the long sword is just right, it won't be too forward to make it too heavy when swung, and it won't make the whole long sword feel light at the handle.

  The most distinctive feature is that the blade of this long sword is full of a sense of streamlined sharpness. How should I put it, the props used in most movies and TV shows in later generations are actually wrong.

The vast majority of Han swords have very sharp tips. If the most advanced edge imitated by ancient long swords in later generations can be regarded as an equilateral triangle with an apex angle of about 60 degrees, then the current one in the hands of Fei Qian This Han sword presented by Liu Xie is a long and narrow isosceles triangle with a maximum of 30 degrees. The blade is long and narrow and sharp, full of a tingling feeling.

  The hilt of the sword is made of nanmu wood, and the silk cord mixed with gold and silver threads is wrapped flat.

  The sword grid is small, and the tail of the sword seems to be riveted, and the pattern is made of gold and silver, which is very gorgeous. On the body of the sword near the sword grid, the word "Zhongxing" is engraved in seal.

  There are some traces of felling on the sword body, and there are faint dark brown lines in the silk wrapping of the hilt. It is obvious that this sword was used in actual combat...

   ZTE Sword?

   Fei Qian slowly put the long sword back into its sheath, then unloaded the original long sword, and hung this ZTE sword on his belt.

   Liu Xie What does this mean?

   Want me to be a minister of ZTE?

  Or let me continue to fight against Buchen with the sword?

   Or is it just a reward for the achievements of the war against the barbarians or the results of the battle against the Xiliang thieves?

  But no matter what, Liu Xie did not come up with a formal edict, which shows that Liu Xie still does not have any control over the current Chang'an, or the current Han Dynasty...

  Although Liu Xie is Emperor Han.

   This time in Chang'an, Liu Xie and Fei Qian did not deviate much from their original expectations.

There is nothing wrong with Liu Xie being Emperor Han, but he is still only a teenager. Emperor Han’s halo is not omnipotent, and it is impossible to have the effect of adding more than ten or twenty to the four-dimensional in the game automatically, so …

   That's it.

After experiencing such incidents as Xu Huang's recklessness and Zhao Yun's entanglement, Fei Qian already knew that it was basically unrealistic to count on Liu Xie's outstanding intelligence to turn the tide, and so on. It is naturally impossible for Liu Xie to know how to deal with the current situation, and it is even more impossible to deal with the chaotic situation of the whole big man.

So if you stay in Chang'an, you have to wrestle with Zhong Shao and others, and bring Liu Xie to Bingzhou. Let alone whether other people are willing or not, just think about teaching Liu Xie various ideas and methods hand in hand. , is enough to give Fei Qian a headache.

  Hehe, I don’t have the friendship to sleep on the same bed with Emperor Hanling, why?

  If you raise Liu Xie as a pig, hey, there are still many royalists in Bingzhou, at least your master Cai Yong, old man Cai, will definitely be the first to jump out...

Therefore, for the current Liu Xie, Fei Qian's way of dealing with it is to simply not understand if he doesn't understand it. Anyway, the next development of the situation will naturally force Liu Xie to mature faster and learn to think about problems at a deeper level. But even so, in history, Liu Xie didn't really realize that the Han Dynasty was on a road of no return until near the later stage...

Fei Qian really didn't want to cause more trouble for himself. After cooperating with the anti-Xiliang alliance to obtain Chang'an, he evacuated out as quickly as possible. Anyway, now his banner of righteousness on the side of the Qing Dynasty can be regarded as in place. , As for whether Chang'an City can be defended in the future, it depends on the ability of Zhong Shao and others, but now it seems that, hehe, it's enough.

   Now that Liu Xie asked Xun You to send this ZTE sword, it is actually quite interesting, but is Liu Xie's real meaning, or is it Xun You's idea for Liu Xie?

After all, if the current Xun You is really as deep as the city in history, he must also be able to see the unstable status quo of Chang'an, but now with a mere position as a servant, Xun You may not have enough influence to shake it. The decision made by Shao and others, is this why Liu Xie released this signal of goodwill?

  However, even if such a gift represents a signal of goodwill, Fei Qian will not be too entangled in Chang'an in a short time. I am afraid that some blood will be needed to straighten out this mess in Guanzhong.

  In Xinfeng County, Li Jue expressed with an extremely fierce attitude that he wanted to stain his own weapons with someone's blood, and sent an extremely warm greeting to someone...

Although Guo Bang is sometimes not very good, he will grab things with himself, sometimes he will be awkward, and there will be friction with each other, but now that Guo Bang is dead, those so-called previous troubles will be completely eliminated. Erase it, and only the friendship with Guo Bang that has been through the wind and rain for so many years remains in the memory.

   "Zhuzi!" Li Jue slapped the table and roared angrily, "I swear to kill him!"

Ma Teng has no friendship with Guo Si, and of course he doesn't have much with Li Jue. He and Han Sui only had some contacts with Fan Chou before they became rivals. So Ma Teng is so sad about Guo Si's death. I don’t feel anything like this, and there are even some small joys…

   But Li Jue showed such anger and grief, and as a current ally, he couldn't say nothing, so he had to accompany Li Jue and give some words of comfort.

  For Ma Teng, the relationship between Guo Si and his death is not important, what is important is that Chang'an turned his back! It actually slipped out of the hands of the Xiliang Alliance! More importantly, this means that I have lost contact with Han Sui, and there is another extremely difficult thing that I am afraid that I will run out of food and grass...

  After a while, Ma Teng said carefully: "Brother Zhiran, why don't I wait to meet up with Wenyue before making any plans?"

   Li Jue panted heavily, sat down with a grunt, and did not answer directly.

  Don't look at Li Jue's furious appearance on the surface, in fact at least half of it is pretending. If you don't get angry, how can you show that you attach importance to Guo Bang's death, and how can you make Ma Teng obey your orders?

   Guo Bang's death not only handed over Chang'an to others, but more importantly, it led to a change in the balance of power...

Originally, Li Jue, Guo Si and others had a certain advantage compared with Ma Teng and Han Sui, whether they were soldiers or generals, but now Hu Zhen was seriously injured in Tongguan, and he has not recovered since he fled back to Xinfeng. Li Jue also knew that it was extremely difficult to recover from this kind of injury on the battlefield. Even if he could recover, it would take a long time to rest. Therefore, Hu Zhen was basically a useless person.

Li Meng died, Wang Fang fled, and although Li Li was not seriously injured, he was defeated after all, and could not hold his head up in front of Ma Teng and Han Sui, so now he is the general of Xiliang on Li Jue's side. A Fan Cong...

In addition, the Xiliang soldiers in Chang'an City fled, surrendered, were imprisoned, and killed. Basically, all the grassroots officers in Xiliang were killed, so they were abolished, even if they were It needs to be tidied up before it can be used again.

   Therefore, in comparison, it is equivalent to Ma Teng and Han Sui, under the ebb and flow of each other, inadvertently gained the upper hand...

Ma Teng probably hasn't noticed it yet, or hasn't considered it for the time being, but as soon as he joins forces with Han Sui and others, such a gap will inevitably be exposed under the eyes of Ma Teng and Han Sui, so Li Jue was not willing to rush back to Chang'an immediately.

"Report..." Just as Li Jue was thinking about how to break up with Ma Teng, a scout suddenly came from outside and reported inside the tent, "... General Qi, cavalry was found in the north of Gaolu, about five The number of six hundred, under the banner of 'General Fei Zhengxi'..."

  Gaolu is a small county in the northwest of Xinfeng, on the north bank of the Weishui River, facing Xinfeng on the south bank of the Weishui River.

   "General Zhengxi Fei?" Li Jue stood up abruptly, repeated a few words, then slapped the table angrily, and said, "It must be that **** guy! Besides this person, is there another one whose surname is Fei?"

At this time, Li Jue finally knew that Fei Qian actually played a golden cicada to escape the shell. Although the scouts of the Baishuigou camp had been reporting that the banner had not changed, the iron-like facts in front of him proved the reality. This Fei Qian played Li Jue...

   Li Jue turned to Ma Teng and said, "Shoucheng, please help someone to kill this beast!"

  Ma Teng hesitated a bit, after all, this was different from the battle he had with Huangfusong back then.

  The location is different.

In the area of ​​Xinfeng, the cavalry is the king. They can fight if they want, retreat if they want, or retreat while fighting. But in Gaolu, which is the north bank of the Wei River, it is close to the mountains, especially Pinyang. As far as the area around Sucheng, there are basically many remaining hills, so it is not so easy to deploy cavalry, and it is not easy to implement tactics such as interspersed and outflanked.

Li Jue also saw Ma Teng's hesitation, but without Ma Teng's cooperation, he went to find Fei Qian's trouble alone, and his rear was not stable enough, so Li Jue said in a deep voice: "Shoucheng, this dog will be killed! Ruo Shi Everyone can kill our soldiers and generals, and we can come and go freely. How can we have any prestige? This is the chief evil! The Hongnong soldiers have been defeated, and only this thief can be punished, and the capital can be settled!"

  Ma Teng frowned, thinking.

   What Li Jue said is not completely unreasonable.

There are many tribes in Xiliang, and they follow such a simple principle among themselves. If they cannot be strong enough to make everyone afraid, then they must follow the simple law of tooth for tooth and blood for blood, otherwise the tribe will definitely suffer from other tribes. bullying.

   But the question is, it is not impossible to help, but whether you can get the corresponding return, whether the loss is within the range you can bear, this is the core key...

   Xiliang friendship, of course there is, but can the friendship between Xiliang people be eaten as food?

Seeing that Ma Teng was hesitant, Li Jue added some bargaining chips, and continued: "After killing this beast, the capital will definitely be shaken. Beheaded! You can take half of the property you have obtained, and use it for military purposes!"

  This is somewhat interesting. After Ma Teng nodded, he said: "That's it... I don't know how Brother Zhiran will enter the army?"

  Li Jue stood up, walked a few steps back and forth in the big tent, and then said: "This dog... the cavalry is out, the Baishuigou camp must be a little empty... If it returns, it will pass through Pinyang..."

  Li Jue stopped suddenly, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Someone has some ideas, so he can kill this beast in the north of the Wei River!"
