Chapter 14: The Iron Eagle Warrior
Cao Wuxian is a guy who can't hide words in his stomach, and his heart is not very big.
But the person is good, there is a chivalrous spirit, although the ability is not too high, but when you see something unpleasant, you can't help but jump out.
Treat friends, naturally, there is nothing to say.
It's just that in this Pei County, Cao Wuxian doesn't have many friends. Everyone knows that he doesn't like Liu Bang, but on the contrary, Liu Bang's popularity is surprisingly high. Liu Kan and Cao Wuxian drank twice together, and basically understood Liu Bang's situation.
It is said that Liu Bang was also a ranger when he was young, and the person he admired most in his life was Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling.
He once served under the very famous Hao Shi Zhang Er of the Wei State, but the Wei State soon perished, and Liu Bang returned to Pei County.
Ha, Liu Bang actually worked as a ranger?
This made Liu Kan feel extremely surprised.
At the same time, I felt extremely curious about Liu Bang, and I really wanted to see what kind of character Liu Bang was?
But Liu Bang never appeared.
Liu Bang didn't wait, but the new county magistrate of Pei County came.
On that day, many famous people in Pei County went out of the city to greet the county magistrate, who was said to be very promising. Cao Tingchang went, Xiao He went, Cao Wushu went, and Lu Gong also went...... Liu Kan didn't go because he was reading with his mother.
Qin Wen is quite a seal script of later generations, and Liu Kan recognizes a few.
However, the feeling of being a primary school student again in this era is not so pleasant. Mrs. Kan is very kind, but she is very rigorous in her studies. According to Liu Kan's idea, just learn Qin Wen. How do you know that Mrs. Kan thinks: Since you want to learn, you must study hard! Not only the Qin script, but also the scripts of other countries cannot be easily abandoned.
You must know that since the Zhou Dynasty moved east to Luoyi, which is now Sanchuan County (now Luoyang, Henan), it has gone through more than 500 years of mergers and annexation of princes and the competition of the Seven Kingdoms. By the time of the destruction of the Qi State by the time of the Qin Dynasty, the fields of each country were different, the cars were painted on different tracks, and the language and writing were very different.
This text, in particular, is particularly serious.
Many characters have even been written in more than 100 ways, and with a single word 'treasure', Mrs. Kan can write 27 different shapes.
Moreover, in the structure of the characters, some are soft and flowing, and some are dense and exaggerated; Some are longitudinal, and some are sadistic and eccentric.
Anyway, these words made Liu Kan anxious. Later, as soon as he was cross-minded, he only went to write down Qin Wen's calligraphy, and the rest ignored it except for Zhou Wen, Qi Wen and Chu Wen, who were to be admitted to the school by Mrs. Kan. In this way, it is much easier.
In addition to literacy, Liu Kan also helped Mrs. Kan clean up the kitchen.
There was little time to go out and play throughout the day, so much so that when the new county magistrate arrived, he didn't go out to see the excitement.
Then again, what about the new county magistrate? Not yet one nose and two eyes? It's all the same, is it possible that there are still patterns?
After filling a jar full of water, Liu Kan sat on the porch to rest.
Seeing that Jian Shiqi and Cao Wuxian rushed over, as soon as they entered the door, they shouted: "Ah Kan, it's really a pity that you didn't go today." ”
Liu Kan leaned lazily on the pillar, and his eyelids didn't move, "What's the pity?" ”
"Do you know, who is our new county magistrate?"
Liu Kan said strangely: "Men, women? Other than that, it can't be a shemale who is neither male nor female. ”
"Shemale? What does a shemale look like? ”
"Shemales are ......" Liu Kan really didn't know how to explain this problem, so his eyes widened, and he diverted the topic and said: "This is going back to explain to you." His brother, the eldest brother who is not harmed, you can tell me, what is the origin of the new county magistrate? ”
According to the Qin system, the county is under the county, and there are "orders" and "chiefs".
There are more than 10,000 households in the county, which is called a order, that is, a county order; If there are less than 10,000 households, they are called chiefs and are called county magistrates.
There are a total of 8,000 registered households in Pei County.
Therefore, this new parent official can only be called the county magistrate. Don't underestimate this issue, according to the Qin system, this official title must not be wrong, otherwise it will be punished. Liu Kan was very excited when he saw that he and Cao Wuxian were both very excited, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Iron Eagle Warrior!"
Cao Wuxian's eyes lit up, and he said with a hint of admiration in his tone: "The new county magistrate is from the Iron Eagle Ruishi. There were also thirty Iron Eagle Warriors with him...... Ah Kan, it's the Iron Eagle Sharp! The most elite people in the Old Qin State, it is said that there are only 1,600 people in the entire Old Qin State. ”
"Iron Eagle Sharps?" Liu Kan looked at him suspiciously.
Judging Shiqi shook his head helplessly, "Ah Kan, I think you used to be stupid in martial arts...... Even the Iron Eagle Warrior doesn't know? ”
"I really don't know."
He sat down and explained to Liu Kan: "In the early days, the Iron Eagle Warriors were also called Iron Eagle Swordsmen, and there were only more than a hundred people in the entire Old Qin Kingdom. Later, Sima mistakenly became the general of the Qin state...... Do you know who Sima Cuo is...... Oh, it's good to know. Sima Coo retained the simple drawing system of the Iron Eagle Swordsman, and on this basis, founded the Iron Eagle Warrior, known as one of the four strongest warriors of the Seven Kingdoms. ”
"Seven Kingdoms and Four Strong?"
Cao Wuxian interjected on the side: "The so-called four strong warriors of the Seven Kingdoms refer to the four elite men and horses who are the most capable of fighting among the Seven Kingdoms. There are Wei soldiers created by Wu Qi; the bearded sword knight of the Zhao State established by King Wuling of Zhao; Qi Guoji's technical attack knights; And then there's the Iron Eagle Sharps I just mentioned.
Wei Wushu has declined, and the bearded sword knight and the skilled knight are also gone.
In the past, the four elite centaurs remained, but now only the Iron Eagle Warriors remain. It is said that the selection of this Iron Eagle Warrior is particularly strict: the dismounted foot battle is subject to the Yue Wei warriors, and the horse riding battle needs to be comparable to the Hun Hu cavalry. In addition to Wu Qi's method of training Wei Wushu, he had one hand, twenty long arrows and iron-tired hard bows, three days of military rations, and a full suit of armor, an expanded short sword, a fine iron dagger, and a cowhide shield.
Added up, the total weight is about 130 pounds [Note]. ”
Liu Kan was stunned. According to Cao Wuxian's statement, the training method of the Qin Army's Iron Eagle Warriors is similar to the weight-bearing off-road in the later troops. It's only one hundred and thirty pounds...... Liu Kan thought about it, if he put it on his body, he would definitely be able to pass it smoothly.
Cao Wuxian said: "This is only the first level, and then there will be a competition and a competition to eliminate; Next, you must go through strict training, be proficient in various formations, and be able to use them flexibly, according to different situations, to form a formation and fight; Next, there will be another competition.
After such a wave of elimination, when the old Qin New Army was formed, there were a total of 200,000 people.
But there are only 1,600 people who have become Iron Eagle Warriors. And after that, the number of people remains at this number and does not increase. ”
Well, it sounds a bit like the flavor of the special forces selection in later generations.
However, Liu Kan's heart involuntarily gave birth to another question.
"Brother Unharmed, how do you know the training method of this Iron Eagle Sharp? It stands to reason that these things are not easy for ordinary people to inquire about. ”
Cao Wuxian smiled.
Judging the food, he lowered his voice and said: "Ah Kan, in fact, there are capable people in our Pei County. There is a person named Tang Li in the south of the city, who is the grandson of Tang Sui, a native of Wei.
You won't know who Tang Sui is! ”
Seeing Liu Kan's eyes widen and looking like he didn't know why, he knew that he must not know who Tang Sui was.
Sure enough, Liu Kan nodded awkwardly.
Judging Shiqi and Cao Wuxian glanced at each other, shook their heads and sighed in unison.
Cao Wushu said: "Ah Kan, you are really stupid in martial arts.
That Tang Sui was the only one who dared to face the confrontation and threaten Qin Wangzheng. Qin Wangzheng also appreciated him very much.
At that time, the king of Qin wanted to exchange 500 miles of land for Anling. But An Lingjun was unwilling, so he sent Tang Sui to envoy Qin.
When the king of Qin saw that he couldn't change the tomb, he was angry and said: Do you know what the wrath of the Son of Heaven is? The wrath of the Son of Heaven ambushed millions of corpses and shed thousands of miles of blood.
Tang Sui replied: Does the king know what the anger of cloth clothes is? ”
Liu Kan snorted suddenly, widened his eyes and said, "But what about grabbing the ground with his head? ”
"Huh?" Judging Shiqi smiled: "You have actually heard of it? ”
Liu Kan said excitedly: "Did Tang Sui say: The assassination of the king, the comet strikes the moon; Nie Zhengzhi's assassination Han puppet, Bai Hong Guanri; To leave the thorn Qingji, the goshawk struck the temple. These three sons are all men of cloth......"
How could Liu Kan not have heard of this article?
It was still a text he learned in junior high school, and although it was a long time, he remembered it because of the passion of the words. In particular, he has never forgotten the passage he just recited. Tang Sui, is it the man of cloth, the person who even the King of Qin respects?
He was surprised: "You really know! Yes, Tang Li is the grandson of Mr. Tang Sui, and he has been familiar with the training method of martial arts since he was a child. The relationship between Wushu and Tang Li is very good, and the two often learn together. However, not very many people know about this. ”
I see!
There have been countless confrontations between the Wei State and the Qin State, so it is not surprising that Tang Li knows the Iron Eagle Ruishi well.
Speaking in this way, Tang Li and Cao Wuxian are both good at training. I just don't know why, it's obscure.
Cao is not injured?
Liu Kan glanced at Cao Wuxian, who was excited, but he was thinking in his heart, this guy should also go down in history......
Judging Shiqi said: "I think the new county magistrate, I'm afraid it's not simple. ”
Cao Wuxian glanced at him, "Nonsense, Iron Eagle Sharp, of course it's not easy!" ”
"No, I mean, Iron Eagle Ruishi is the personal guard of King Qin, if it weren't for something important, how could he come to such a remote place? I'm afraid there is a plan. ”
Liu Kan frowned, "Didn't Mr. Xiao say that King Qin wants to hunt east?" ”
"Canceled!"
"I heard Mr. Xiao say that the East Hunt has been canceled...... It's just that since the East Hunt has been canceled, why did the Iron Eagle Ruishi come? ”
When Liu Kan heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Yes, Pei County is a remote place, why does the dignified Iron Eagle Ruishi appear in this place? If it is said that it is to clear the obstacles for King Qin's hunting, it is also said in the past. But now that King Qin has decided not to hunt in the east anymore, the appearance of the Iron Eagle Warrior is a bit unusual. What's more, the new county magistrate also brought thirty Iron Eagle Sharps, which is even more extraordinary.
Could it be ......
Liu Kan suddenly had an idea.
The location of Surabaya County is very important, connecting the north and the south. Historically, Qin Shi Huang once conquered Baiyue, could it be said that this Ren Huan came to prepare for this event?
If so, what benefits should you make of it?
