Chapter 20: The Parting of Master and Apprentice
Ashina's face changed when he heard this, but he returned to normal in an instant. It is worthy of being a person who can become the king of the Hun Zuogu Li, and his psychological quality and experience in the rivers and lakes are different from ordinary people.
Ashina pretended to be puzzled and said: "No one has sent a message to this king, it is this king who calculated that there will be a sneak attack by the Han army out of the city, so he set up an ambush."
What about liars! If you have this ability, you won't be blocked by a wild goose gate. Moreover, the defenders of Yanmen Pass must have suffered heavy losses after many days of fierce fighting. No one would think that the under-armed defenders of Yanmen Pass would attack the camp, and you would also think that I would come to attack the camp? Liu Jin said secretly.
Seeing that Ashina didn't tell the truth, Liu Jin suddenly lowered his face and said in a cold voice: "You'd better tell the truth, don't try to deceive me, otherwise you will let you know my means." With a fierce murderous aura in his voice, he overwhelmingly attacked Ashina.
Ashina, who was murderous, immediately shivered and looked at the weird sneer on Liu Jin's face. Ashina knew that if he continued to tell lies, he would definitely be tortured or killed by this guy. After all, he had seen Liu Jin kill the Huns with his own eyes, and he was really as ruthless as killing chickens and sheep. Feeling the sharp pain in his left ear that had not yet dissipated, Ashina did not dare to lie again.
suppressed the thought of continuing to argue. After all, for Ashina, a mere account should be far less important than his own life. He said in a trembling tone: "Someone sent me a letter, which said that the general, you will lead the army to attack the camp tonight, let me prepare early." ”
Sure enough, it was the same as I thought, Liu Jin said secretly.
Thinking that he was betrayed and more than 300 loyal and brave sons died innocently, Liu Jin couldn't help but be angry, and a soaring hatred spread sharply in Liu Jin's heart. He asked in a cold tone, "Who is this person?" ”
But I heard Ashina tremble and said: "Forgive me, general, this person is very cunning and never refuses to come forward to contact my people in person. They all sent powerful people to contact me, I only know that this person's name is Nighthawk, and his true identity is probably only known to King Zuo Xian or Da Shan Yu. ”。
Hearing this, Liu Jin suddenly thought of Xue Lan a few days ago. Thinking of Xue Lan's unwilling and incomprehensible expression before he died, Liu Jin was shocked. Secretly said: "Could it be that the person who sells weapons privately is not Xue Lan?" ”。
"Is this Nighthawk the one who sold the iron to you Huns?" Liu Jin hurriedly asked.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Ashina's face changed in shock, and Liu Jin immediately added: "Since I already know that he is in Yanmen Pass, I will definitely investigate deeply, for the sake of your life, I advise you to tell the truth." Otherwise", Liu Jin said seductively while wiping his neck.
This action scared Ashina into a cold sweat, he was about to say that no one was selling him iron tools. Seeing this situation, he had to say honestly: "The general is clear, and Xiao Wang admires it."
This sentence is no less shocking than a bombshell for Liu Jin, and Liu Jin, who came from later generations, hated the word Han Jian (not that I made a mistake, but that this word will be harmonized). If you can comfort yourself with just guessing before, then now that you have confirmed your guess, then for Liu Jin, this Han Jian has already been on Liu Jin's blacklist.
Fan Weng, who had been secretly observing Liu Jin not far away, saw the method used by Liu Jin to interrogate Ah Shi at that time, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart. The skillful coercion and temptation made him, a veteran of the world, unable to help but be moved.
Thinking of Liu Jin's bravery in the bloody battle against the Huns and his respect for himself, Fan Weng couldn't help but secretly say: "This son is as cunning as a fox and as brave as a tiger." Treat people respectfully and politely, and at the same time be sincere, and it is not simple. In the future, it will not be a thing in the pool."
Just when Liu Jin and Fan Weng made up their minds about Liu Jin, Meng Yao, who was injured, came slowly and said in a tone that only the two of them could hear: "My lord, someone from the Huns is urging us to trade as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Liu Jin turned around and walked out. Meng Yao followed behind and walked step by step, and heard Liu Jin say in a low voice: "After the transaction later, you take Xiao Wuwei and the Mengjia cavalry to escort the war horse back to the pasture first." As he spoke, Liu Jin tore off a piece of cloth that was still clean from the mountain, bit his finger and wrote something on it.
After writing it, he said: "You give this blood letter to my brother, and then you immediately return to Yanmen Pass, and we will meet in Xueyang Valley outside the pass." Do you understand? ”。
Meng Yao listened, took the blood book, dried the blood stains on it, and put it in a close place to hide it. Nodding secretly, he said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Yao knows."
"Okay, you go and gather everyone, and I'll go and say goodbye to the master." Liu Jin said again.
As he spoke, Liu Jin glanced at the overwhelming herd of war horses, and turned around without looking back and walked towards Fan Weng under the tree.
When he got closer, Liu Jin said with some sadness and reluctance: "Master, the apprentice is in military affairs, and I can only come to listen to your old man's teachings in the future."
Liu Jin knows that in ancient times, people paid attention to being a teacher for one day and a father for life. Although Liu Jin came from later generations, Liu Jin, who was a man in two lifetimes, knew the importance of faith and filial piety.
In his previous life, his father told him more than once that people are the first in the world and value faith. On the contrary, we must be filial to our parents and teachers; Below, you must set an example for your children when you say it. The experience of the battlefield taught Liu Jin that he should emphasize faith and righteousness to the outside world, and at the same time, he must not lack the heart of guarding against others.
"Go ahead! In the future, we must serve the country and seek the well-being of the people of Dawn. But you have to remember that although you and I are only a one-day master and apprentice, you have to remember that my apprentice Fan Weng should sit up straight, and if you let the teacher know that you have done evil and harmed the people of Li in the future, don't blame the teacher for being unkind." Fan Weng's expression was awe-inspiring, and he said solemnly.
"The disciple respectfully obeys the teachings of the master and bids farewell to the master. I hope you take care of your health." As he spoke, Liu Jin solemnly straightened his clothes and armor, and kowtowed three times before turning around and leaving.
Let's go
With Liu Jin's shout, the remaining thirty-six Han soldiers immediately stepped on their horses, followed closely behind Liu Jin's horse, and went straight to the Huns at the bottom of the mountain.
When they got closer, after some conversation between the two sides, the ten Huns went straight to the mountain. And Liu Jin and the others divided ten Xiao Wuwei and fourteen Mengjia cavalry to lead the twenty-four reins gathered from the six thousand five hundred war horses and rode their horses to the north.
Liu Jin glanced at the old man in white on the mountain, and didn't care whether the old man in white could see it or not, so he immediately gave a salute. He immediately led the remaining twelve Han army teenagers to gallop to Yanmen Pass in the east with 500 majestic Xiongnu war horses.
After walking about three miles away, Hao Si, who served as a scout, reported that Liu Jin had killed the Huns' scouts. Liu Jin ordered the twelve Han army teenagers to wait in Xueyang Valley first, while he rode back alone and walked about a mile, observing the situation on the hill in the distance.
On the hill, Fan Weng had already stepped on his old horse, and looked at Ashina and the other eleven Huns playfully with the green dragon halberd in his hand.
After the ten elites of the Hun Heavenly Wolf Army went up the mountain, they untied the ropes on Ashina's body and surrounded him in the middle to protect him.
Ashina was so humiliated that he couldn't give up, so he wanted to order the ten elites of the Heavenly Wolf Army to kill this old man, and then point the army to hunt down Liu Jin and others.
How could the old man Jing Fan Weng, who had lived for a lifetime, not be able to see Ashina's thoughts, the playful expression on his face became more and more obvious, and he said softly: "King Gu Li, the old man advises you not to act rashly. Although I am old, you must have heard of the name of the halberd slaughter."
What the???
Is this old guy a halberd slaughter?
Ashina didn't dare to move when he heard this, he heard those old people of the Northern Xiongnu moving south when he was a child. Decades ago, Dou Xian, the great general of the Han Dynasty, led tens of thousands of Han troops to the north to conquer the Northern Xiongnu. It is said that in that battle, Fan Weng, who was only fifteen years old, single-handedly killed more than 20 brave generals of the Northern Xiongnu and won the name of halberd slaughter.
Not only that, it is said that the halberd slaughter killed hundreds of Northern Xiongnu warriors in the later war, which directly led to the reversal of the entire battle situation, and the Northern Xiongnu were defeated. After the defeat, part of the Northern Xiongnu moved westward, and part of it moved south to merge with the Southern Xiongnu. The name of the halberd slaughter was introduced to the Southern Xiongnu at that time.
Thinking about the various deeds of Fan Weng before the old people, Ashina immediately didn't dare to move. Although the old man in front of him, who called himself the Halberd Tu, looked old, the style that only a peerless master had deeply shocked Ashina, and shattered the last trace of shame in Ashina's heart.
About two hours later, Fan Weng estimated that Liu Jin should also arrive at Yanmen Pass, so he said to Ashina: "King Guli, my disciple has obtained the true inheritance of the old man, and I advise you not to be an enemy of him." As long as he is in the day, you should not get involved in this wild goose gate."
Ashina only agreed, and I don't know if I really listened.
Fan Weng didn't pay attention to this when he saw this, and rode the old horse down the hill slowly, and the green dragon halberd dragged upside down on the ground would make a slight collision sound with the gravel on the ground from time to time.
It was this slight collision sound, but it was no less than a deathknell in Ashina's ears. When Fan Weng walked away, Ashina breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "Today is really unfavorable, you have to go back to the wizard to divinate and divination."
Immediately, Ashina led ten Heavenly Wolf Army to meet Bai Huwen and others, who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain, and returned to the Xiongnu camp. (To be continued)
