Chapter 428: Breaking the Battle Knife

Lu Shikui and Lu Shibao didn't know why, and asked in unison, "Why is the general laughing?" What is this Surudine? ”

"Shi Kui, Shi Bao, Sulu Ding is a weapon used by Mongolian Genghis Khan, in Mongolia is respected as an artifact, after the death of Genghis Khan, this divine soldier has been collected by the successor Great Khan, I didn't expect to see it in the hands of Ah Shu today. I'm not wronged, I didn't lose unjustly. Lu Wenxin seemed to regain his confidence and said happily, "As long as I can find a weapon that can compete with Su Luding, I will definitely have to fight with Ah Shu again, although the Wind and Cloud Thunder and Lightning Technique is powerful, it is not impossible to crack." ”

After saying this, Lu Wenxin only felt a salty mouth, and immediately spit out a small mouthful of blood.

"Huh? Checkmate. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Wenxin paused, "I can recover in a few days of recuperation, and then Ah Shu may not be much better." Alright, you go and clean up the battlefield and get ready to go back to the city. ”

It was about the same as Lu Wenxin's estimate, after passing through the grove north of Anyang Beach, Ah Shu's face became more and more pale, and a trace of blood oozed from his mouth.

"Handsome? Want to take a break? Asahan asked.

Ah Shu wiped the blood from his mouth with his hand, and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, wait until you get to the valley city in front of you, and then rest after meeting with Huaidu and them." ”

"Yes, Marshal."

In the battle with Lu Wenxin, although Ah Shu had the upper hand, he also suffered internal injuries, and the wind and cloud thunder and lightning trick was already extremely draining, and because of the war, Ah Shu could only forcibly support the repeated killings, unlike Lu Wenxin who could rest.

At this time, despite his profound skills, Ah Shu couldn't hold back.

"Azihan, I'll take care of it right away, and you will take a team of 100 people to postpone."

Ah Tinghan said: "Follow the instructions of the marshal." ”

Xiangyang City.

After listening to the report, Lu Wende and Lu Wenhuan shouted almost at the same time: "What? Is it really an amy? ”

Lu Wenxin nodded and said: "I can't be wrong, I have fought with him for dozens of rounds, and I am at a disadvantage, except for Ah Shu, who among the Mongolian generals has such skills." ”

Regarding the victory or defeat of Lu Wenxin and Ah Shu, Lu Wende no longer felt that it was very important, and the Xiangyang envoy sighed and said: "Your Majesty's god, it is indeed correct, no wonder Your Majesty can predict the changes in the heavens." Second brother, how should this battle report be written? ”

Lu Wenhuan said: "Big brother, in the face of today's emperor, let's seek truth from facts." ”

Lu Wende thought for a while and said, "That's right. Third, you go and rest first. ”

When I received the battle report of the Xiangyang Military Region on the battle of Anyang Beach, it was already seven days after the battle.

Xiangyang Military Region Battle Report: When the Mongolian army withdrew from Xiangyang, our Xiangyang Military Region set up an ambush on Anyang Beach, dispatched 2,000 people of the Black Tan Regiment, and 6,000 infantry soldiers of the 12th Lu Division, after more than two hours of fierce fighting, our army killed a total of 1,019 soldiers of the Mongolian Pioneer Battalion, wounded about 800 enemy troops, rescued more than 200 captured civilians and a large number of seized materials, in this battle, our army suffered 1,822 casualties, of which 917 were killed and 301 were seriously wounded, including the chief general of our army, Lu Wenxin, the commander of the Black Carbon Regiment, said that the casualties on both sides were roughly equal, and our army lost two warships. Details are attached.

At the court meeting the next day, I first said: "The battle of Anyangtan opened the prelude to the third war between Song and Mongolia. However, it can be seen from this that the ability of the Mongolian cavalry is indeed stronger than that of ordinary soldiers of our dynasty, even the black charcoal regiment of the Xiangyang Military Region is only slightly superior to the other party, and the troops similar to the black charcoal regiment, our dynasty only has a few troops such as the Yangzhou Broken Army, which together are less than 10,000 people, and the Mongolian cowardly Xue army has 30,000 people. Therefore, the large-scale military training must continue. In addition, the number of cavalry troops in our DPRK is insufficient, and all military regions are strictly ordered to prohibit field battles with the Mongol army that they are not sure of. ”

Lu Xiufu said: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

Fan Wenhuan said: "Xiangyang Lu Wenxin has outstanding martial arts, but I didn't expect to be defeated by Ah Shu. ”

Lu Xiufu continued: "There is a detailed record in the war report, saying that Lü Wenxin was defeated by Ashu's weapon Suluding, according to Lü Wenxin, this Suluding was a weapon used by Genghis Khan back then, known as the first magic soldier of Mongolia. ”

Shi Yanzhidao: "Yes, General Lu is right, this Suluding is indeed a sharp weapon, and there are many legends about its origin. ”

"Really? Shi Aiqing, what is the legend? "I was somewhat influenced by Fang Ling, and I had stories to listen to and I was also interested.

"Your Majesty, according to the Mongols, about a hundred years ago, Genghis Khan was forced by his enemies to a mountain peak when he was very young, and there was no way out, and later, a stranger appeared in front of the mountain, and split the mountain peak with a spear in his hand, so that Genghis Khan escaped, and the stranger gave the spear to Genghis Khan before leaving, and this spear named Suluding accompanied Genghis Khan for a lifetime, and was respected by the Mongols as an artifact."

"Artifact? Shi Aiqing, can this Suluding compete with the artifact of our dynasty? I laughed and said, "Lu Aiqing, there is a horse chopping knife that has been treasured for many years in my palace, called Descending Dragon, which was made by the famous craftsman Han Qi during the reign of Shenzong Xining, and now this knife is given to Xiangyang Lu Wenxin to help him fight again in the future." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

According to the information in the Xianwen Pavilion, during the Northern Song Dynasty, the famous blacksmith Han Qi discovered the ruins of the Taimiao Temple of the Shang Dynasty in a deep mountain, and opened the seal to obtain the fragments of the dragon's teeth, tiger wings, and dog gods. Later, Han Qi dedicated this fragment to the imperial court, and cast it together with the palace swordsmith, which took one year and eight days to cast into three big knives of descending dragons, subduing tigers and cutting dogs, of which descending dragons are machetes, and subduing tigers and chopping dogs are big guillotines. On the day of the sword, Han Qi took his body as a guide, jumped into the furnace, and finally achieved great success. With the approval of the Son of Heaven at that time, the tiger and the dog were stored in Kaifeng Mansion, and Bao Zheng, who was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion at the time, became the first "Kaifeng Shuanggui" knife bearer, and the dragon remained in the palace.

More than 100 years ago, the Jin State invaded Bianjing, Han Qi's descendants, Han Shixiong, who was the commander of the imperial guards, brought the dragon sword out of the palace, after several twists and turns, handed over to the famous general Han Shizhong, and fought with him for a lifetime, Han Shizhong returned the knife back to the palace before his death, and after that, the dragon has been in the palace of the Southern Song Dynasty. The whereabouts of the other Fuhu and Chopping Dog have not been known since then.

After Song Xiaozong Zhao Yan ascended the throne, he posthumously named Han Shizhong as the "King of Qi", perhaps to commemorate Han Qi's sword casting skills.

Shi Yanzhi, who is quite familiar with this history: "Your Majesty, with the benefit of descending the dragon, you should be able to compete with Su Luding, and the minister has a proposal to change the name of this knife to Poyu, in order to show my heart to resist Mongolia." ”

"Broken? Okay, Shi Aiqing, in the name of breaking captives, this name is very suitable for me, I will seal this knife as a broken captive, Zhao Huai Zhao Aiqing. ”

"The minister is here."

"Zhao Aiqing, I want to send a minister to Xiangyang to inspect the military situation, comfort the front-line soldiers, and by the way, give the sword to Lu Wenxin, the commander of the Black Carbon Regiment, I wonder if Zhao Aiqing is willing to go?"

Zhao Huai said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing." ”

"Okay, Zhao Huai, I will make you a messenger, and I will set off for the west tomorrow, and send an edict to the Xiangyang Military Region to set up Lu Wende, pacify Lu Wenhuan and others to apply for strict prevention and containment."

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey."

Jia Rudao said: "Your Majesty, will you reward or punish the Xiangyang Army for this battle?" ”

"Shichen, in the battle of Anyang Beach, since there is no victory or defeat, then the generals in the Xiangyang Army will not be rewarded or punished, and they can be asked to sum up their experience.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the discussion of military affairs, Ma Tingluan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a book. ”

"Ma Aiqing, please speak."

"Your Majesty, the battle of Anyang Beach opened the prelude to the third great war between Song and Mongolia, for more than 30 years, our dynasty has resisted vigorously, and the treasury has been greatly consumed, although the economy of our dynasty has developed rapidly in the past two years, but the expenditure on armaments is still beyond our means, therefore, I ask Your Majesty to halve the minister's salary until the war is won."

As soon as these words came out, Jia Rudao also came out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, and the minister was also willing to halve the bill." ”

Subsequently, Jiang Wanli also supported: "Your Majesty, the minister is a literati, and he cannot go into battle for His Majesty to kill the enemy, and the minister is also willing to donate half of Yulu as military funds to support our Korea's war against Mongolia." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister supports Lord Ma's proposal." ……

The courtiers in the main hall, whether sincere or false, all agreed. After all, this is a long-term thing, and no one knows how long the war will last.

I stretched out my hand to signal for them to calm down and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that with your good intentions, I have you loyal ministers who are sensible and reasonable, so why worry about not winning the war. Ladies and gentlemen, I have ordered that from next month, the expenses of the palace will be halved, and as for you and officials at all levels, they will continue to be the same. ”

Under the gaze of the ministers, Jia Rudao played again: "Your Majesty, the ministers are ......."

I interrupted: "Ladies and gentlemen, of course I know that although the armament expenditure of the war is very large, it can still be handled, and I suggest that you take the lead in purchasing the war bonds to be issued in the middle of next month, even if it is a temporary loan from the imperial court, this is also support for the Song and Mongolian wars." I know that many of you have gone to the Red Cross outlets to donate a lot of money and goods, and I am happy in my eyes and hearts for such good deeds. If one day, when the court really can't come up with money and goods, I will naturally ask you to reduce your money. ”

Ma Tingluan said: "Your Majesty, the expenses in the palace have been reduced by thirty percent since the beginning of this year, and if they are reduced by half, it will inevitably affect the daily life of the palace. ”
