Chapter 358: Western Expedition (33)

Huyan Jin'er jumped on the back of the horse and sat in front of Zhao Yuanzuo, and Zhao Yuanzuo grabbed the horse's bridle with one hand; Carrying a stainless steel Mo knife in one hand, he stretched out his two hands to hold Huyan Jin'er tightly in his arms; Previously, Liu Min rode on a horse and hugged him.

Zhao Yuanzuo was about to reverie, but he heard Huyan Jin'er say sharply: "Brother Prince, we are riding on the same horse, so what about your black horse?" ”

Hu Yan Jin'er said and looked back, but saw the black horse limping towards the mouth at the southern end of the ditch; Then he raised his voice and said, "Brother Prince, the black steed is going over there!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo saw Hu Yan Jin'er shouting twice, turned his head and looked at it a few times, and said with a wry smile: "The black horse is Liu Min's mount, just now Xiao Ke rode it from the jam at the southern end of the hall ditch; It's spiritual, it's back to the card! ”

Huyan Jin'er saw Zhao Yuanzuo say this, so she was relieved.

The two of them galloped on the open-minded horse path, and soon entered the river and saw the lush reeds.

Huyan Jin'er sat in Zhao Yuanzuo's arms in fascination and asked, "How could the prince's brother come to the river, a place where rabbits don't!" ”

Huyan Jin'er asked this deeply, but Zhao Yuanzuo said in a loud voice: "The 800 Tianxiang army of Xiao Kesui and his sister-in-law rushed to the north to conquer the rebellious Li Jiqian, and when they went to the Xianghe River, they found that the Khitan Tartars of the Liao State were going to attack the Fenghe Cang of the imperial court, so they fought with them!" ”

After Zhao Yuanzuo finished saying the above sentence, he saw more than a dozen people in messy clothes coming out of the reeds; Each carried a Turkic scimitar in his hand.

Zhao Yuanzuo saw it clearly on the horse, and said to Huyan Jin'er in front of him in a panic: "Little sister, this is Liao Bing; Xiao Ke has fought with them before, and the Turkic scimitar is proof of this! ”

Hu Yan Jin'er saw that Huo Di jumped from the horse to the ground; Dragged Zhao Yuanzuo down, and led the horse into the bushes and said, "Brother Prince, let's go down and take a closer look at where these Tartar soldiers are going!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo stared forward, and saw a stone arch bridge not far away, so he asked Hu Yan Jin'er: "Where does the stone arch bridge lead to?" ”

"That's the big stone bridge leading to Tianzhu Ridge!" Huyan Jin'er said excitedly: "Grandpa led the Hujia military and Grandpa Zheng Da to rush over there to rescue Zhao Wenchen, the branch official of Jingzhao Mansion, and they went!" ”

After Hu Yan Jin'er finished speaking, she suddenly had an idea and said: "It's not good, these dozen or so Tartar soldiers lost the attack on Grandpa!" ”

"Attacks can't be talked about!" Zhao Yuanzuo said solemnly: "Look at them like that, they must go to Tianzhu Ridge to ride their horses!" ”

After Zhao Yuanzuo said this, he couldn't help but be stunned; He said eloquently: "Just now, my sister and uncle were beating gongs and drums on the top of the mountain, saying that dozens of Tartar soldiers had escaped from the mouth of the north, and the fleeing Tartar soldiers might be lurking in the reeds; And send these people to get horses and plan to escape! ”

"Brother Prince's analysis makes sense!" Huyan Jin'er couldn't wait to say: "The two of us chased after and killed a dozen Tartars, so that their dreams were shattered!" ”

"Okay!" Zhao Yuanzuo screamed, stared at Hu Yanjin'er a little suspiciously, and said, "Little sister knows kung fu?" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo's question was a bit abrupt and a little inexplicable; Just now, when Huyan Jin'er was about to fall off the horse's back when one of the black steed's legs and hooves fell into the hamster hole, he was suddenly lifted up by Huyan Jin'er.

If Huyan Jin'er didn't have kung fu, how could a fourteen-year-old girl have so much strength? But Zhao Yuanzuo asked if people could do martial arts? Isn't this a clear slap?

Sure enough, Huyan Jin'er heard Zhao Yuanzuo ask like this; A handful grabbed one of his wrists and twisted it backwards.

Zhao Yuanzuo's arm strength can fill 200 stones, but he didn't resist at all when he was twisted by Hu Yanjin'er; It's just the grinning gunshot "whoop" moaning.

Huyan Jin'er saw that Zhao Yuanzuo's image was embarrassed, let go of him and said: "The little girl has been learning to ride a horse and shoot archery with her grandfather since she was five years old, and a golden eagle sword has killed invincible opponents all over Kansai; This shadow chasing soul gun is invincible and everyone is afraid, and the prince's brother actually asked the little girl if she could do kung fu? Is the sun coming out of the west? ”

Hu Yan Jin'er said as she took out the Golden Eagle Sword and the Falling Shadow Soul Chaser Spear from behind the saddle and danced, "If Brother Prince is not convinced, we will fight here for three hundred rounds!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo smiled awkwardly and said, "Little sister misunderstood, Xiao Ke just asked, why be angry!" If we want to learn martial arts, we have time behind us, and now the top priority is to kill the dozen or so Tartar soldiers in front of us! ”

After Zhao Yuanzuo finished speaking, he stared at Hu Yanjin'er and said, "Little sister, don't call Prince Xiao Ke anymore, okay!" Xiao Ke's crown prince has already been robbed by his father, you can call Xiao Ke Zhao Yuanzuo and Zhao Dechong! Oh, let's call Brother Chong! ”

Huyan Jin'er didn't feel that Zhao Yuanzuo's words were abrupt, and shouted "Brother Chong" hotly, pointed his hand forward and said: "Those dozen or so Tartar soldiers must rush to Tianzhu Ridge, and we will ride over to stop and kill them!" ”

Zhao Yuanzuo stepped on the horse's back in response, and held the King Kong Mo knife in his hand tightly.

Huyan Jin'er is carrying the golden eagle sword in one hand and eating the shadow chasing soul gun in the other; With both feet flicked on the ground, he jumped on horseback and sat in front of Zhao Yuanzuo.

Huyan Jin'er's horse is strong and strong, after Zhao Yuanzuo gave the order to impact; The green horse galloped forward, past the hurried Tartar soldiers in front.

Is the Tartar soldier the one of Jeruergua? That's right, more than a dozen Tartar soldiers are a group of Khitans from the Liao State who Yelu Ergua plans to rush to Tianzhu Ridge to get back horses and weapons and plan to escape.

More than a dozen people in Yelu Ergua originally planned to disguise themselves as the common people of the Song Kingdom and go to Tianzhu Ridge, but where did the reeds come from? Without the common people, they couldn't snatch their clothes, so Yelu Ergua let a dozen people take off their armor; Wear only underwear.

The internal clothing of the Tartar soldiers is a variety of different colors, and the prominent feature is the weapon in their hands, the Turkic scimitar; As soon as he came out of the reeds, he was recognized by Zhao Yuanzuo and Hu Yan Jin'er.

Zhao Yuanzuo and Huyan Jin'er rode their horses to the front of Yelu Ergua and his party to block the way; Before Yelu Ergua could react to what was going on, he was poked in the front by Huyan Jin'er's Shadow Soul Chaser.

After Huyan Jin'er stabbed Yelu Ergua with a shot, he jumped down from the horse and brandished the golden eagle sword with his left hand to cut off the head of this guy.

After Yelu Ergua was cut off by Huyan Jin'er's golden eagle sword, there was a stream of beautiful blood spraying into the sky; Under the glow of the evening sunset, a beautiful pattern of scattered flowers of the goddess is sketched, and slowly disappears.

The Tartar soldiers who followed behind saw that the leader's head had been cut off by a woman, and fled in panic; was stopped and killed by Zhao Yuanzuo's stainless steel Mo knife.

Lu Chengyu's 800 Tianxiang Army was equipped with the King Kong Mo Knife and the Mo Knife, which was smelted by Liu Min in the capital's armory; Shaped like a sword but with blades on both sides, it is a special killing weapon.

The Mo knife originated in the Tang Dynasty and was smelted and forged on the basis of the Han Dynasty's horse sword; The smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty was undoubtedly higher than that of the Han Dynasty, and the smelted Mo sword was much sharper than the horse sword; The horse of the bladed cavalry is as easy as a breeze.

The Mo knife is thick and durable, and the handle is not very long or too short; It was an advanced weapon of the Tang Dynasty.

And Liu Min combined the Han Dynasty's horse sword and Mo knife to further improve the 800 Mo knives of the Tianxiang army.

The difference between the Mo knife and other ancient weapons is that the overall value is relatively high, and the most expensive ancient weapon should be the war horse.

During the more than 200 years of existence of the Tang Dynasty, the average price of rice was 10 wen yuan per bucket of rice; 10 buckets of rice is one stone, and one stone is one hundred dollars.

A hundred copper coins can buy 120 catties of rice now, and copper coins have always been able to buy 1,200 catties of rice.

In the Tang Dynasty, an ordinary farmer's annual expenditure did not exceed 4 guan, or even less than 4 guan.

4 guan money in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to 4,000 yuan in later generations, from this level; The standard of living of the people of the Tang Dynasty was not high, of course this was the common people; A talented person like Li Bai, even a rich man, can't speak Japanese on the same day as the common people.

The value of the Mo knife is about a few hundred yuan, and the price of a horse is no more than that; For ordinary people, after decades of struggle, they can almost buy a war horse or a knife.

At the peak of the Tang Dynasty, there were about 20,000 Mo knives, and 20,000 was how much it was; If it is said that Mo Dao is allowed to accompany the burial, then some people will definitely take this opportunity to hide it privately, so the loss is the economic interests of the Tang Dynasty, so the burial is prohibited.

Although the Tang Dynasty was known as a prosperous era of economic prosperity, it is undeniable that there were still many problems in economic circulation.

The Tang Dynasty had a large number of troops, and in the early days, the Tang Dynasty still ate the grain of the Sui Dynasty; Coupled with some wars such as the Turks, a large part of the economy of the Tang Dynasty was supporting the army.

The army not only needs to provide weapons and food, but also needs to pay soldiers' salaries.

The Mo knife needed to be given to the cavalry together with the horses, and the main enemy of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks, was the cavalry to fight; So Mo knives and horses are the main combat power.

In the early stage, the Tang Dynasty implemented the regulation of rents and mediocrities, and in the later period, it was the two-tax law; In the early stage, because there is no money to pay taxes, rice can also be used as a tax.

The annual fiscal revenue of the Tang Dynasty was about 30 million yuan, which was not the same as that of the wealthy Song Dynasty.

During the reign of Zhenzong, the richest man in the Song Dynasty, after the "rule of Xianping", the fiscal revenue was 160000000 yuan, which was more than 5 times that of the Tang Dynasty.

The financial difficulties encountered by the Tang Dynasty in manufacturing Mo Dao seem to have ceased to exist during the Northern Song Dynasty.

What's more, the Tianxiang Army is an army led by Lu Chengyu, the concubine of Song Taizong, and Lu Chengyu has built 800 Mo knives with a look on his face; It's not as simple as a child's house.

Mo Dao is different from other weapons, other weapons can show their power as long as they are used a little more; Mo knife is a weapon that can attack from near and far.,It needs to be lethal and sensitive.。。

This requires that the Mo knife should not be too long or too short; Too long is easy to break, too short is not strong enough.

Therefore, a special process is used to finally achieve a special method that can be folded, and the shadow of the Mo knife can be seen on the later Japanese Notai knife; When using the Notai knife, it needs to be held high and use the weight of the blade and the strength of the user to slash downward, so it is extremely powerful......
