Chapter 744: Cold Moon Blade
Chu Huan asked, "Feng Yuanpo was born from a humble background, where did his sword skills come from?" ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Actually, I haven't seen him practice swordsmanship, but my cousin once told me about Feng Yuanpo, when this person was seven or eight years old, he held a butcher's knife in his hand and killed pigs and dogs with his father. This man was also a street hooligan, and he fought with people with a knife at every turn, and liked to go into the mountains to hunt with hunters, and it is said that when he was less than twenty years old, this man killed a tiger with a pig-killing knife. Later, he fought on the battlefield, and he must go to every battle, crawling out of the pile of dead people, but he realized a set of knife techniques by himself. called him a tyrant, or after he became the governor of Hexi Province. ”
"His father is alive now?"
"His father died seven years ago." Xuanyuan Shengcai explained: "At that time, his father had just served as the governor of Hexi Province for less than three years, and the saint had always been very important to their father and son, and after his father died, he actually gave him the position of governor of Hexi Province, which is of course important to the Feng family, but I think it is still to deter the barbarians." ”
"The barbarians are afraid of the Feng family's father and son?" Chu Huanqi said.
Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled: "Do you know that Feng Yuanpo has a nickname?" ”
"Oh?"
"He's called the Hound Dog." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "This is the nickname that the saint personally gave Feng Yuan back then, one is because the Feng family's father and son were very loyal to the saint back then, like a hunting dog, and the other reason is because Feng Yuanpo has a strange mind, if he wants to kill a person, no matter what kind of price he pays, he will be entangled to the end, never dying, just like a hound chasing its prey, until the goal is achieved." After the founding of the country, the Feng family father and son did not guard the entire Hexi at the beginning, their father and son were sent by the Holy Lord to Yunzhou, the northernmost state of Hexi Province, which is the northernmost state of my Great Qin, and the border with Mobei. Yunzhou at that time there were barbarians to disturb the border, it can be said to be the most chaotic place, the father and son arrived in Yongzhou, Enwei and Shi, first went out in a row, exterminated several tribes of the barbarians, and ruthlessly, every time Feng Yuanpo personally led the troops, but the tribe that was exterminated by him, men, women and children, livestock and horses, not one left, all killed, after a few battles, the barbarians immediately regarded Feng Yuanpo as a flood beast. ”
"That's why you got the name Badao?"
"Feng Yuanpo became famous in the Yongzhou War twelve years ago." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Although the barbarians are afraid of the Feng family's father and son, they are cruel by nature and have a thirst for killing, originally the tribes fought each other, and fought endlessly for many years, but the appearance of Feng Yuanpo made more than a dozen tribes of the barbarians join forces, and that year the barbarians were seventeen large tribes, gathered 80,000 people, and slaughtered into Yongzhou, and the slogan was to cut off the heads of the Feng family's father and son. ”
Chu Huan frowned, the barbarians are easy to kill, but they have a very strong ability to fight alone, many people have said that fortunately, the barbarians like to fight in the nest, and there is no outstanding leader who can unify the barbarian tribes, otherwise, if the barbarian tribes are unified under one banner, they will definitely be able to fight against Xiliang and even Great Qin.
Eighty thousand barbarians, this number is already sensational, and it is an extremely terrifying army of rolls.
"At that time, the defenders of Yongzhou were no more than about 10,000 people." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "As soon as the Feng family's father and son heard that the 80,000 barbarians were coming, they immediately packed up the gold and silver, turned around and left, and everyone in Yongzhou City saw that the Feng family's convoy was loaded with dozens of boxes of property, and they didn't care about the lives of the people, and hurried out of the city in broad daylight. ”
When Chu Huan heard this, he always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't speak.
Xuanyuan Sheng smiled slightly, and then continued: "The barbarians entered the city, and there were a lot of belongings in the city that were too late to be transported away, you said that those barbarians saw the good things in the city, where did they have the heart to continue to pursue, they were originally a coalition army composed of more than a dozen large tribes, after entering the city, they were afraid that other tribes would rob more, they all let go of their hands and feet to plunder property, they wreaked havoc in the city for two days, that night, the city suddenly burst into flames, overnight, Yongzhou City seemed to be burning everywhere in the ......! ”
Chu Huan Huo Ran understood, and couldn't help but clap his hands and said: "This Feng family's father and son are really cunning, their retreat is fake, and the burning of the city is real." ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai nodded and said: "Yes, they deliberately pretended to retreat, in fact, they had already poured fire oil all over Yongzhou City, and there were spies left in the city, and when they waited for a signal from outside the city, the spies of the city started at the same time and set fire to the city." You say that a border city, all of a sudden the whole city is on fire, can the barbarians not panic? These barbarians had never seen such a formation, they were all in a panic, burned countless people, and scurried around, wanting to get out of the city, but Feng Yuanpo had already transferred men and horses to defend the four gates, and those barbarians would have to pay a great price if they wanted to rush out of the city. ”
"Eighty thousand barbarians, even if they are in a panic, it is not easy to deal with." Chu Huan said.
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "It is said that at that time, in addition to the Feng family's father and son's team of less than 10,000 people, they also sent people to Shuofang Fucheng in Hexi Province early to ask for help, Shuofang Fucheng quickly transferred thousands of troops to rush over to reinforce, although the number of people is not as good as the barbarians, and even the one-on-one fight is not necessarily the opponent of the barbarians, but we win in the unity of dispatch and tacit understanding, and the barbarians are a plate of scattered sand, and the tribes are almost all fighting for themselves, that is the battle, although the barbarians still broke through tens of thousands of people after all, but after the war counted, The barbarians fought in Yongzhou, but they also left more than 20,000 corpses ......, when thousands of prisoners were captured alive, Feng Yuanpo directly ordered all of them to be killed, and he carried out the execution with his own knife, and a person cut off nearly two hundred heads with a knife. ”
Chu Huan couldn't help but take a deep breath of cold air, if it was said that on the battlefield, between the battles, one person killed two hundred enemy troops, it was definitely a first-class hero, but slaughtering two hundred prisoners with a single sword, it can be seen that this Feng Yuan is extremely lethal and ruthless, that is really not an ordinary person, but think about it, in the face of the barbarians who have not yet been civilized and brutal, Feng Yuanpo is really the best person to deter them.
"I've seen Feng Yuanpo twice in Beijing." Chu Huan sighed: "But I can't see that he is such a ruthless person." ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai said with a smile: "This person has powerful means, and he is good at sneaking around and shooting horses, every time he enters Beijing, he will bring a lot of items from Hexi, most of them are specialties of the barbarians, not to mention how valuable, but after all, it is rare, the court officials, those who see it have a share, if it is someone else, the saint will not cure him for the crime of forming a party for personal gain, but for Feng Yuanpo, the saint has never blamed...... This Feng Yuanpo is brave and good at fighting, and he can be a man, and he is ...... Hehe, he seems to be a loyal person, and the saint likes him very much. Speaking of this, he was a little strange and asked, "Why did your lord suddenly ask about this?" ”
Chu Huan said: "Originally, I wanted to ask General Xuanyuan about the world's famous sword, but I unknowingly talked about this person. By the way, since this Feng Yuanpo has the name of a tyrant knife, he must also have a good knife? ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "After the Yongzhou War, the Feng family father and son were immediately promoted by the saint, Feng Yuanpo's father and son were directly promoted from Zhizhou to the governor of Hexi Province, and when the father and son entered Beijing to thank him, the saint gave Feng Yuanpo a famous knife, which was a peerless famous knife that has been handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow. ”
Chu Huan bowed slightly, beckoned a soldier, ordered him to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and then spread paper on the desk in the tent, waved up, and in just a moment, he drew the pattern of a knife.
Xuanyuan Shengcai looked at it twice, and said in a lost voice: "This is ...... Cold Moon Blade! ”
Chu Huan's eyes lit up and asked, "General Xuanyuan knows this knife?" ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Do you know Jing Ke? ”
"Jing Ke?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "What General Xuanyuan said is the assassin of the Yan Kingdom who assassinated the King of Qin?" ”
Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's this person." This person assassinated the King of Qin back then, and the ...... used! Pointing to the knife diagram on the paper, "It's this Cold Moon Blade!" ”
Chu Huan was stunned.
The story of Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin, he is naturally very clear.
The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return once he is gone!
"This knife is the famous blade of Mrs. Xu of Zhao Guo in the last years of the Warring States Period, shaped like a crescent moon, and the cold air is shining." Xuanyuan Shengcai explained: "Later, the royal family of Yan Kingdom spent a lot of money to buy it, and handed it over to the palace craftsmen to refine it repeatedly, and finally it became a poisonous knife that sealed the throat with blood. This knife is said to be sharpened like clay, Prince Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin, at that time the King of Qin had a peerless sword, the cadre Mo Ye, in order to deal with the cadre of Qin Wangzheng Mo Ye, specially handed over the Cold Moon Blade to Jing Ke. It's just that Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin back then, and this Cold Moon Blade lost its whereabouts, and later, although the world heard about its whereabouts a few times, no one knew where it was. ”
Chu Huan frowned and didn't speak for a while.
Xuanyuan Sheng saw Chu Huan's strange expression and asked, "My lord, why did you suddenly draw this picture?" Could it be ...... Have you seen the Cold Moon Blade? ”
Chu Huan nodded.
Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes showed surprise, and he said with some excitement: "Your Excellency has really seen the Cold Moon Blade?" ”
Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Listening to General Xuanyuan, although I know the origin of this knife, I don't know what the whereabouts of this knife are now?" ”
Xuanyuan Shengcai shook his head and said: "When I was in the martial arts hall, I had a special course to learn blades, and I already knew the Cold Moon Blade at that time, and I also knew that this Cold Moon Blade was the weapon of Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin. It's just that no one knows its whereabouts. ”
Chu Huan groaned slightly, and finally said, "But this time it appeared." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Tonight, the assassin will assassinate, and one of them will hold this Cold Moon Blade." Chu Huan sighed: "The peerless sword that Jing Ke stabbed the King of Qin in the past was used by assassins to assassinate me Chu Huan tonight, I really don't know if I should feel honored!" ”
