As he said, Shi Ah lived in Cao's Mansion for almost two months, and in these two months, he would take a little time to teach Cao Pi swordsmanship every day, of course, Dianman also studied on the side, but Dianman didn't learn very seriously, in fact, in this year, the sword, is no longer the protagonist of cold weapons, and now there are two protagonists of cold weapons: one is the ring head knife, and the other is the short halberd. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The so-called ring head, because there is a ring at the end of the handle, unilateral blade, thick ridge, the other side with an inner arc, conducive to chopping, can be said to be the most easy to use in the Han Dynasty melee combat, the most lethal cold weapon, this weapon has appeared since the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, when the cavalry of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are equipped with the ring head knife, with halberds, bows and arrows, the attack power is incomparable, in the war against the Huns, the ring head knife shines, it can be said that the Huns at that time far away, to a large extent, can not withstand the power of the Han Dynasty cavalry ring head knife.

In the year when Cao Pi was located, the ring-headed knife had become the protagonist of cold weapons, but anyone with a little status would be equipped with a ring-head knife, perhaps thirty refinements, perhaps sixty refinements, or a hundred refinements. The so-called thirty refining means that after thirty times of repeated forging, the more times it is forged, the tougher and more durable the knife will be.

As for the halberd, it is conducive to splitting thorns, and because the halberd is a combination of a spear and a whole, the usage is repeated and there are many changes, and it is also favored by many people at that time. And the sword has become an accessory for the aristocracy. The swords of this year are four-sided Han sword, six-sided Han sword, and eight-sided Han sword. In fact, it refers to the edge of the sword body, the more edges mean that the more complex the craftsmanship of the sword, the harder the texture of the sword body, the Han sword body is straight, the blade is stretched out by two arcs, the sheath is unpretentious, and the sheath is sharp. The red pattern on the black background commonly used on the Han Dynasty scabbard decorative lacquerware is very beautiful, the color matching is reasonable, and the pattern decoration is exquisite and abstract. In addition to the decoration of animal faces, cloud patterns, and valley patterns, the decorative surface is especially the most distinctive with the relief of the pan mantis. Its layout is reasonable, vivid and ingenious, and the grinding is round and delicate, gorgeous and fine.

The sword of the Han Dynasty is like a gentleman, not only upright and straight, but also pleasing to the eye, but because of this, the sword body is hard but not tough. It is precisely because of the integrity and hardness of the Han sword that swordsmanship is also destined to be biased towards stabbing, splitting, chopping, collapsing, gridding, intercepting, and pressing this straightforward move, compared to the sharpness of the ring head knife and the ingenuity of the short halberd, the sword cannot be compared with the first two because of the limitations of the texture, which also leads to the fact that although Dian Man admires Shi A very much, he can be interested in learning swordsmanship.

However, Cao Pi has a special interest in swords, the texture is hard, the edge is exposed, and he would rather bend than bend, which is the quality that Cao Pi asked for, in the previous life, he could be regarded as escaping the world, in this life, he was destined to be with the power and scheming, and the way of the gentleman, I am afraid that it is going farther and farther, but he hopes that in his heart, there can be something to insist on, so he is more enthusiastic about learning swordsmanship than before, and his enthusiasm makes Shi A feel surprised.

In addition to the straight moves, Shi A's swordsmanship also added the moves of pressing, hanging, and stirring to borrow strength, which made his swordsmanship a little more weird, although Cao Pi was quite interested in this transformation, but in his heart he felt that this betrayed the original intention of the sword, he preferred the original swordsmanship of the Han sword, so that the stabbing is more fierce, the slash is more ruthless, the chop is heavier, the collapse is shaking the mountain, the grid is not leaking, and the interception is difficult to advance, and the pressure is as heavy as Mount Tai This is the swordsmanship that belongs to the eight-sided Han sword.

To do the above things, strength is a must, so in addition to learning swords, Cao Pi also used push-ups, planks, and squats to exercise the strength of his waist, abdomen and arms, of course, he did not fall behind the progress of reading with Xun Yue, for a person with high talent like Cao Pi, reading should be the easiest thing.

The day Shi Ah left, it was November of the second year of Jian'an, although the sun was shining in Yingchuan in winter, there was still a sassy cold wind, Shi A was watching Cao Pi dance the sword, two months, Cao Pi did not learn Shi A's pressure, hanging, stirring three tricks, but in the stab, split, slash, collapse, grid, interception, pressure of these sword styles but faintly have their own imprint, that is a kind of pursuit of the extreme, in the past two months Shi A watched Cao Pi's swordsmanship and his own swordsmanship gradually deviate, but there was no bad words, only on this last day, After Cao Pi finished dancing the sword, he said:

"The road of your sword has been completed, and I have no art to teach." After saying that, he left the Cao Mansion with his sword on his back.

The current Cao Pi, holding in his hand, is still a wooden sword, but the sword body has been cut into a face by Cao Pi, which is the style of imitating the eight-sided Han sword, as for Shi A's sword, it is a four-sided Han sword, because Shi A believes that the sword is more than four-sided, and there are too many edges and corners, which is difficult to exert the power of pressing, hanging, and stirring.

If there are no edges and corners, how can it be a sword? Cao Pimu sent Shi A away, and continued to dance with the sword in the cold wind, and the sword moves opened and closed, showing the grandeur.

Five days after Shi A left, Cao Cao sent good news, the anti-thief Yuan Shu was defeated by Cao's army, crossed the Huai River and fled, but Cao Cao did not return to the army, but turned his troops and went to Jingzhou, because Jingzhou Liu Biao and Wancheng Zhang Xiu formed an alliance and repeatedly attacked Runan County, the boundary of Yuzhou.

In less than a year, Cao Cao was going to meet with Zhang Xiu, the enemy who killed his son, and only Cao Cao himself knew what it was like to meet the enemy.

As for all the big and small affairs of Xudu, they were handed over to Fenwu Sima Xun Yu, Xun Yu came from the four major families of Yingchuan, and naturally received the full support of the local gentry, and the situation in Xudu was naturally as stable as Mount Tai, but under the stability on the surface, there were undercurrents surging.

First of all, Yuan Shao was awarded the edict of the Son of Heaven and became a general, leading all the affairs of Hebei, Qing, You, and the four states. This Jizhou, Youzhou, and Bingzhou are north of the Yellow River, and that's it, but the boundary of Qingzhou has crossed the south bank of the Yellow River, and the border of Yanzhou, which is controlled by the Cao army, Yuan Shao immediately sent his eldest son Yuan Tan to cross the river after getting the edict, and garrisoned the Jinan country on the border of Qingzhou, which is only a hundred miles away from Yanzhou.

The second is that the doctor in the middle of the scattered end, in November several times to visit Xun Yu, attracted the discussion of some Cao generals left in Xudu, Xun Yu did not care about this, Fu Wan is even more intensified, and Xun Yu's contacts are more frequent, which makes those Cao army generals more uneasy, at the end of November, Henan Yixia Hou Dun who garrisoned Luoyang suddenly led two thousand troops back to Xudu, for a while, the atmosphere of Xudu suddenly became weird.
