Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 18 Give You Two Swords
Yan Guo and Zhao Guo can be said to be a pair of feuds. Since the death of King Yan Zhao, the two countries can be said to be fighting each other for three years and fighting endlessly for five years.

Especially in recent years, Yan Guo can be said to be a professional stabber.From time to time, when Zhao Guo and Qin Jun were confronting each other, they would attack Zhao Guo's rear.

For example, in recent years, during the Battle of Handan, when Qin and Zhao confronted each other, the state of Zhao was exhausted, and the state of Yan took advantage of the opportunity to rebel against Zhao Wuyuan and ordered Fu Bao to take advantage of the fire to loot.After the Battle of Handan, when Han, Zhao and Wei joined forces to attack Qin, Yan took the opportunity to capture the prosperity of Zhao.Later, on King Zhao's birthday, the State of Yan pretended to send envoys to toast. When it was discovered that most of the young men of the State of Zhao had died in Changping and the orphans had not yet grown up, they once again attacked the State of Zhao with all their troops.

Although the Yan State has a large army, Le Yi lacks good generals, and the overall quality of the soldiers is also somewhat lacking. After every provocation, they will always be settled by Zhao Guoqiu.

So such a situation has been formed.Qin and Zhao fought each other, and Yan Guo took the opportunity to stab the knife.The result of the war is often that Qin State captured several cities from Zhao State, and then Zhao State fought back a few cities from Yan State, and encircled the capital of Yan State by the way.

Therefore, the enmity between the two countries can be said to have a long history and has been passed down from generation to generation. It is a bit unreasonable not to fight for several years.Therefore, Guo Kai naturally suggested that Sima Shang lead his troops to take a tour of Liyang.

It is true in history that Zhao State sent troops to capture Liyang in Yan State in this year.However, there is no record in the history of the commander of the army, so it is unknown who Sima Shang took the place of.

"What do you think General Sima wants?" King Zhao asked.

Sima Shang, who had long been absent from court, readily accepted Guo Kai's proposal. "I am willing to lead the army to crusade against the Yan State and to show our country's prestige."

The title of title, which was almost on the verge of death, became more confusing due to the "passive" pursuit of Sima Shang's client.

The afternoon court meeting was over, and Ziying's fate had been decided.When the dynasty was disbanded, some eunuchs had already gone to the prison in Handan to deliver orders, and they would go north to Raoyang tomorrow when Sima Shang gathered all the soldiers and horses in his headquarters.

From Raoyang side, it was Han Tan who had escorted Ziying mother and child to Raoyang thousands of miles back then and twenty guards accompanying him.When Han Tan arrived in Handan, when he heard that Ziying was thrown into prison, he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, but they had no way out for newcomers. If Sima Shang hadn't stopped them, this group of people might have died Let's consider the defense force of Handan Prison.

With trepidation, the group first settled down in Sima Shang's residence.Fortunately, after only a day of suffering, Ziying returned safely, and at the same time brought the good news that Zhao Wang promised that Ziying would succeed Lord Raoyang.

Sima Shang did not go to Raoyang alone. If Sima Shang went alone, even if Ziying trusted Sima Shang, it would be difficult to subdue the five thousand arrogant soldiers, let alone attack Liyang.

Therefore, this time Sima Shang was accompanied by 500 soldiers from his headquarters, all of whom accompanied Li Mu and Sima Shang to kill the Xiongnu cavalry outside the Great Wall, so that the cavalry of the Huns did not dare to go south to herd horses. There was even a brigade of [-] troops. Human cavalry.

In the eyes of Zhao Guojun and ministers, these 3000 troops are Sima Shang's conquest of Yan State and the central force to deter Rao Yang. Of course, the premise is that the main force of Yan State will not go south again.

Sima still has his work to do, Ziying also has some work to do before leaving.After comforting the little lolita Sima Jingjing, who was crying in his arms with pear blossoms and rain, Ziying first sent someone to the Handan Prison, and sent 50 gold to the prison chief in the name of himself and Sima Shang, entrusting him to take care of Bao Sheng .

Although this person lived very vigorously in history, he was still active on the stage of history until the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, but under the influence of his own butterfly, he must not "die young". The fat in the mouth is gone again.

After the arrangements were made, Ziying washed up and put on neat clothes, and came to the small courtyard where Gai Nie lived in Sima Shang's mansion.After lightly opening the firewood door, Gai Nie was resting on the couch with his eyes closed.

Ziying stood aside respectfully, waiting quietly.Not to mention the teacher, even an ordinary old man would feel a little rude if he woke Ziying up hastily.

The sun moved westward, and it was almost dusk.About half an hour later, Gai Nie woke up slowly. Just after waking up, he saw Ziying standing beside him. Wrinkles are also stretched a little.

"I already know about you." Gai Nie must have heard what happened from Sima Shang.

"Babies are unfilial, loved ones who are dying are not accompanied by them, and teachers are worried about their reckless behavior. Please punish them."

"You are very good. If you are always in the world, if you are always muddled and see justice, you are no different from an animal. As the clan of the Qin Dynasty, the son of Lord Raoyang, you can draw your sword to fight the anger of the common people. As your teacher, I Very pleased.

As for your father, go back.Take care of yourself, take care of your mother.I think that's what your father wants most of all. "

"Teacher, don't you want me to go back together? Grandpa Sima Shang is ordered by King Zhao to return to Raoyang with me this time." Ziying asked hurriedly after understanding Gai Nie's words.

"I'm old and tired. After all, this world still belongs to you young people. I just want to find a place with green mountains and clear waters. After the rest of my life, I don't want to get involved in the troubles of the world."

Ge Nie said wearily.

After listening to Gai Nie's words, Ziying stood there for a long time without making a sound.

Looking at the profile of Gai Nie, an old man who has been through hardships and struggled for his ideals all his life, but suddenly found that what he did was contrary to his original intention, it is really unbearable to ask him to do something.

The two just stood there quietly.

"Ziying, come with me." After a long time, Gai Nie first broke the silence between the two.

Ziying obediently followed behind the old man and entered the hut.

The old man's hut was different from usual, as if he had just moved, except for one or two scattered items, it was empty.

Gai Nie picked up a long sword from the sparse weapon rack.Reaching out to Ziying, Ziying took it with both hands, and recognized that it was the rare sword Gai Nie used on the first day he taught him how to learn swordsmanship.

"This sword, named Longyuan, is said to have been forged by Master Ou Yezi after taking the essence of the stars for three years. I searched for it and found it.

On the day of apprenticeship, you once said something. 'If the world changes, I would like to hold the three-foot longyuan and guard it for the common people. "Longyuan presents it to you today, and I wish to keep it." "

Only now did Ziying understand that it was precisely because of his words back then that Ge Nie asked many times to get the Longyuan sword, just so that he could protect the oath he made back then.

Ziying took a serious look at the sword in his hand and said: "Baby obeys the master's order, this sword must be the sword that protects the people of China, and I will never change my will in this life."

After listening to Ziying's words, Gai Nie nodded in satisfaction, turned around and picked up a wooden sword, Ziying saw it and recognized it.This is exactly the sword I used to practice swords before.It seems that after he was thrown into prison, Gai Nie or Sima Shang went to pick it up again.

Gai Nie put the wooden sword flat on the palm of his left hand, and with a little movement of his right palm, he slapped it on the wooden sword. After the sawdust flew, the original wooden sword disappeared, and what remained in Gai Nie's hand was an extremely delicate small The sword, judging from the size alone, it is more appropriate to say that it is a sword-shaped dagger.

With such a skill, being able to wrap a metal sword in wood is like a natural thing, such a skill, the Momen really lives up to its reputation.

Gai Nie looked at the little sword and said slowly: "The name of this sword is Mozi. It was forged by Mozi's former teacher himself. It is extremely sharp when blowing hair and cutting hair. This sword is also a token of all the giants. Holding this sword, I practice it again and again. Those who have mastered Mozi's sword skills are the contemporary giants of Mozi."

After finishing speaking, he handed the little sword to Ziying.
