He gently lowered the bones into the pit, and several soldiers hurriedly swung shovels to bury them, and in a short time the grave had been erected. Wei Changfeng saw that it was almost over, and waved his hand: "You guys go to catch up with the troops first, and I'll fill up a few more shovels." ”

Several soldiers knew that Wei Dutong wanted to say a few words of sacrifice in front of the grave, so they turned around and hurried away. Wei Changfeng slowly knelt in front of the grave, pinched the soil for incense, and secretly offered sacrifices in his heart, hoping that the spirits of these three people in the sky could be safe. When the sacrifice was over, he swung his shovel, intending to fill the grave with a spade of soil after the last day, and when the spade went down, the shovel made a soft sound, but the shovel head broke.

Wei Changfeng lifted the shovel head and looked at it, only to see that the shovel head was not broken by the wooden handle, but by the iron head, and it was broken neatly at the half-cut point, as if it was cut off by a sharp blade, but although the shovel head was rusty, it was also an iron tool after all, what kind of sharp blade could cut the iron head horizontally in half so silently? Could it be that there is something in the soil that can't be done?

He put down the shovel, carefully picked up the soil around the shovel, only a few times, the soil was bright, a white gas rushed into the air, rose several zhang high, there was a bang, a horizontal branch stretched out above the tree was actually cut in two by the white gas, and fell beside Wei Changfeng with leaves.

Wei Changfeng was shocked, he didn't know what kind of monster was in the soil, he stepped out of the way, pulled out his sword, and carefully stirred it up from the side, and in the soil, a sword was picked out. The sword was attached to the sheath, but the sword was not completely incorporated into the sheath, but was pulled out halfway, and the scabbard was covered with patina and moss, but the strange thing was that the sword was spotless, although it had been buried in the soil for an unknown amount of time, it seemed to have been wiped before, and the cold was pressing, and the brilliance was dazzling.

Wei Changfeng carefully stretched out his hand to pick up the sword, and couldn't help but shiver. At a glance, this sword is completely soul-stirring, I don't know what kind of treasure it is, and who threw this sword here? The white light just now is clearly the sword qi held in the soil, since the sword qi can be so sharp, I am afraid that it has been buried in the soil for hundreds of years, but ordinary swords, even if they are buried in the soil for hundreds of years, there will be no such sword qi, let alone so smooth as new, what kind of sword is this?

Wei Changfeng held the hilt of the sword, and saw that there was a faint flow of light at the hilt, and it was secretly embedded with pearls and jade, which was really a priceless thing, and then looked at the scabbard, the body of the scabbard was carved with flying cloud patterns, simple and vigorous, and it seemed to be a peerless sword. He flipped over the scabbard, and two complicated ancient characters came into view: Tai'a.

Wei Changfeng almost dropped his sword to the ground.

This sword turned out to be a Tai'a sword!

According to historical legend, the Tai'a sword is cast by Ou Yezi and the two major swordsmen, the Warring States period Chu Zhenguo is the treasure, the Jin State has sent troops to attack Chu for this sword, the Chu State is invincible, but the King of Chu refuses to hand over this sword. When the city was besieged by the Jin army, the king of Chu instructed him to go to the city to kill the enemy, if the city was broken, he would use this sword to kill himself, and then he would pick up the sword, ride a fast horse to the lake, sink the sword to the bottom of the lake, and let the Tai'a sword stay in Chu forever.

At dawn the next day, the king of Chu ascended to the top of the city, only to see the soldiers and horses of the Jin State outside the city covering the sky and the sun, and the city was about to be broken. The king of Chu held the sword in both hands and sighed: "Tai'a sword, Tai'a sword, I will sacrifice you with my own blood today!" So, he drew his sword out of its sheath and pointed it straight at the enemy. I don't want a majestic sword qi to shoot out, outside the city suddenly flying sand and stones to cover the sky and the sun, as if there is a fierce beast roaring in it, the soldiers and horses of the Jin Kingdom are in chaos, and after a while, the banner is on the ground, bleeding thousands of miles, and the whole army is annihilated.

No one knows whether this period of history is true or false, but Tai's power is passed on by word of mouth. According to Qin Xiang Li Si's "Cambodian Book of Expulsion", there is a saying that "the jade of Kunshan is sent by His Majesty today, there is an easy-going treasure, the pearl of the bright moon, and the sword of Tai'a", which shows that Qin Shi Huang once held this sword, but he didn't expect that the Tai'a sword was accidentally discovered by Wei Changfeng in such a wilderness and no one's land!

How did this famous sword end up here? I'm afraid that no one will ever be able to solve this problem, but now there is a serious problem that Wei Changfeng needs to solve immediately, and it must be solved: what should I do with this sword?

If this sword is thrown here like this, it will not only be a pity, but also ominous, but if this sword is handed over, I am afraid that not only will I not get the credit, but I will cause the disaster of death. This is not an ordinary sword, this sword is abandoned with the Lord, and those who get this sword should not be discarded, and those who abandon it will harm themselves, so there is an idiom "Tai Ah upside down", which is known as giving ** handle, and suffering from it. Even if he didn't believe these rumors, the emperor would never spare him. Who could have accidentally acquired this famous sword? This is called the Mandate of Heaven, and the emperor will be so idiotic that he can't even think of this? Coupled with the fact that his ancestor was Wei Qing, the day he handed in this sword, I was afraid that it would be when he was killed.

Wei Changfeng stood for a long time, and after thinking about it, there was only one way to solve it. He untied his sword, tied the Tai'a sword to the silk silk, and carefully put the side of the sword scabbard with the word "Tai'a" inward, in case anyone recognized it, and then bowed three times to the grave. He didn't know if he had obtained this sword so unexpectedly because of the mandate of heaven, or because of his good intentions, or because he was completely accidental, but since he got this sword by Hua Ruyu's grave, he should thank Hua Ruyu.

After saying goodbye, he turned and left. In a trance, it seemed that a woman with long hair and white clothes was waving goodbye to him.

Wei Changfeng hurried all the way, and walked out of the dense forest for a while, but this delay, but it was far away from the main force of the Han army, he was about to speed up the pace to catch up, but saw a horse hurrying over, and immediately a herald saw Wei Changfeng from a distance, and immediately rushed over and shouted: "Wei Dutong, Bai Shen will order you to go quickly!" ”

(2) Wei Changfeng was taken aback. If Bai Qi asked him to go quickly, there must be an extremely serious problem, could it be that their intentions were discovered? Or unexpectedly encountered the enemy's ** army?

"Give me your horse!" He shouted to the heralds.

The herald was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Wei Dutong, I can't give it to you!" ”

This is not that the herald disobeyed, on the contrary, it is Wei Changfeng who is violating military discipline now. You must know the iron law in the Lu Dao army, no one is allowed to requisition the herald's horse, whether you are a general or a nobody, the herald's horse is not allowed to move, otherwise, no one will give an order, but how to mobilize the troops in time? So what this herald did was not wrong, but now that their whole army is in front, this herald is just here to give Wei Changfeng an order, and from the actual situation, it is Wei Changfeng who rode a horse to report and asked more important questions. However, no matter which is more important, military discipline is military discipline, how dare this herald disobey, so he can only refuse Wei Changfeng's request.

With a swipe, Wei Changfeng pulled out the sword in his hand and shouted, "Get off the horse quickly!" Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

The herald's face turned pale, his chest straightened, and he replied: "Wei Dutong, if you offend, even if you kill me, I can't get off the horse!" ”

Wei Changfeng also admired this herald very much, so threatening, but this herald still abides by military discipline, and he is really a good soldier, but in this way, he can't rush there as soon as possible, could it be that he really killed this herald? Just as he was embarrassed, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him sounded, and he saw another herald running forward, leading a horse behind him, and there was no one on the horse's back, so he shouted from afar: "Wei Dutong, get on the horse!" Hurry up and report to the white ginseng general! ”

The chief of the guard bowed his hand to the herald at the beginning and shouted, "How offended! Then he let go of his footsteps to meet the second herald, pulled the reins of his horse, turned on his horse, and galloped away. The first herald stayed for a while, reached out and touched his neck, and when he saw that his head was still there, he couldn't help but chant "Great Compassion and Great Compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva", and also turned his horse's head and rushed back with the second herald.

Wei Changfeng galloped on his horse, running with all his strength along the way, seeing the Han army team from a distance, he was happy, but he saw a horse coming over, and immediately the third herald, the herald saw Wei Changfeng coming over, and shouted: "Wei Dutong, quickly, Bai Shen will let you ......."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Changfeng had already swept past the heralds, and ran towards the Han army in a puff of smoke, he was not only anxious but also frightened in his heart, what kind of emergency military situation made Bai Qilian send three heralds to urge him? He whipped the horse again and again, wishing that the horse would fly up at once, straight in front of Bai Qi's eyes.

In a blink of an eye, he had come to the front of the Han army, seeing Bai Qi and a few people arguing fiercely together, he didn't care whether the horse would hit someone or not, the horse rushed straight to the vicinity of Bai Qi, with the reins of the horse, jumped off the horse, turned over on the spot to reduce the momentum, and rushed to Bai Qi's side, but heard a sad roar behind him, the horse had run out of strength in this short period of time, and suddenly knelt on the ground and couldn't get up.

Seeing that Wei Changfeng was coming, Bai Qi didn't have time to be polite, so he directly stretched out an official document in front of him and shouted: "General Fang sent someone to bypass Xingcheng and risk death to send it!" ”

Wei Changfeng's heart chuckled. General Fang actually sent people to bypass the city occupied by the enemy to send official documents, the danger of this move is needless to say, such a move is by no means a trivial matter, it seems that the current military situation is not a problem of their surprise force, but a strategic problem of the entire Han army! He grabbed the official document and looked at it, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It turned out that Fang Zhenhai's army was in a hurry, and before he got out of the mountains and forests, he got the news of the detailed work, and the Donghu army suddenly retreated with all his strength, and traveled for two days a day, not only far away from the main force of the Han army led by Zhu Ling, but also had a tendency to return to Xingcheng before Fang Zhenhai, if the main force of the Donghu army returned to Xingcheng before Fang Zhenhai, not only did the Han army's plan to divide troops fail, but also the Bai Qi department would immediately become a turtle in the urn!

Wei Changfeng felt cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Why did the Donghu army suddenly retreat so quickly? Did you see through the strategy of the Han army? Impossible, even if the Han army's strategy is seen through, the Donghu army should directly cut off the exit of Fang Zhenhai and eliminate the first team of the raiding force, then the Han army's strength is scattered, and 20,000 people have been eliminated, and 3,000 people are intercepted behind Xingcheng, the great victory of the Donghu army can be expected, and it is impossible for everyone in the Donghu generals not to think of such an obvious countermeasure. However, if it wasn't for the Han army's strategy, what was the reason why the Donghu army retreated so desperately? This is not a retreat, this is simply a retreat, and it is by no means a simple reason to return to Xingcheng as soon as possible!
