In the light of the fire, Liu Wei carefully looked at the black knife. The knife is four feet long, the blade is less than three feet, and it is slightly curved, which is somewhat different from the ring knives common in the Han Dynasty. The blade is as black as ink, and there is no ornamentation to be seen. I don't know what material the rope wrapped around the handle is, and it's slightly cool to start.

Liu Wei looked at it several times, but did not find any inscriptions or ornaments, this black knife was not surprisingly plain except for the strange color.

Xun You sat silently on the side, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking. Liu Wei blinked and called him over.

"Your Xun family and Chen family are very close, right?"

Xun You thought for a while: "There are a lot of contacts, but it's not necessarily close." ”

Liu couldn't argue, since there are a lot of contacts, how can he say that he may not be close? is the same as the four chiefs of Yingchuan, they should have a common language. He couldn't remember which book mentioned it, Chen Qun seemed to marry Xun Yu's daughter and became Xun Yu's son-in-law. There is also a saying that Chen Yu took his two sons Chen Ji, Chen Chen and grandson Chen Qun to visit Xun Shu, and the two sages met, and even the heavens had a sense, which alarmed Tailing, and was recorded in history, called the real person eastward journey, and the stars gathered.

After listening to Liu Wei's doubts, Xun You smiled: "I have also heard the story of the three monarchs visiting the gods. As far as I can tell, though, it's fake. ”

"Fake?" Liu Wei was even more puzzled. Since Xun You has also heard of it, how can it be fake?

"Shenjun died in the third year of Jianhe, and it has been forty and two years now, and even I haven't seen him, how can Uncle Wen Ruo have seen him." Xun You chuckled, and his expression, which had been tense, relaxed. "As for Chen Qun, it's even more impossible."

Liu Wei patted his head. Very speechless. This lie is too outrageous, as long as you know Xun Shu's life and death, you should know that this is a lie, why did you deceive so many people and deceive so many years? Confucianism likes to forge, it seems that not only does it like to forge books, but most of the various celebrity ranks are unreliable.

"Then what do you think of Chen Taiqiu?"

"I don't have a lot of contact with him." Xun Yu said carefully: "If His Majesty wants to understand him, he should still ask his descendants." ”

"Chen Jia...... Not attached to Yuan Shao? ”

"So far, I haven't heard of it." Xun You suddenly raised his eyebrows, wanting to say something, but swallowed it back. Liu Wei saw it in his eyes. Laughing: "What." What do you want to say? ”

"The minister thought of another story." Xun You glanced at the black knife in Liu Fan's hand: "Originally, I thought it might be a story made up by the Chen family themselves, but now it seems that it may not be all fake." Majesty, have you ever heard the allusion of the gentleman on the beam? ”

Liu Wei has heard of it. But he didn't know very well. He smiled and said, "I can't sleep anyway." Let's hear it. ”

"There is a story in the township. said that Chen Taiqiu was at home, and when he heard a sound on the beam at night, he knew that a thief had entered the house. And he did not make a noise, but got dressed and got up, and called his children and grandchildren in, and admonished, saying, "A man cannot fail to exhort himself." Bad people are not born bad people, but they don't know how to improve themselves, which is why they develop bad habits, just like the gentleman on the beam. When the thief heard this, he knew that he had been revealed, so he had to go down to the ground and beg for mercy. Chen Yu gave him some money, encouraged him, and let him go. ”

"What's wrong with that?"

"The minister thinks that what the thief wants to steal may not be money, maybe it is the knife in His Majesty's hand." Xun You seemed to smile: "If this knife was originally buried by the Chen family." ”

Liu Wei was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Xun Yu meant. He rolled his eyes, and then Xun You's words said: "In that case, Chen Taiqiu called his children and grandchildren, I'm afraid it was not to discipline them, but to gather them and protect this knife?" That thief might not be a thief, or an assassin? Chen Taiqiu thought that it was difficult to be alone, so he summoned his son to help? ”

Liu Wei said a series of hypotheses, Xun You smiled and said nothing, and finally made a comment: "What the truth is, probably only the Chen family itself knows." All in all, many things – even if they go down in history and are passed down to posterity – are not necessarily the truth. ”

Liu Wei couldn't help laughing. Although it was just a joke, he felt that there might be an article in it. Of course, the Chen family, which made him more interested, has not attached to Yuan Shao until now, which is really good news. Among the four Yingchuan families known for their virtue, the Xun family bets on both sides, the Han family attaches Yuan, the Zhong family attaches Liu, and the Chen family does not vote for any of them, and he and Yuan Shao are still evenly divided.

"When this is over, I will send someone to invite Chen Ji to enter the court."

……

After dawn, he simply ate some dry food, but it was not out yet, Zhang Xiu, who served as the striker, came to report that the scout met the enemy scout forty miles ahead, captured a scout, and forced the news: Liu Bei and Guan Yu led more than 1,000 people to set up an ambush in the Jade Girl Terrace.

Although Liu Wei was a little surprised, he was not panicked. The horror of the ambush is that it is unexpected, and now that the other party's existence is known, the threat is much smaller. He called Xun Yu and inquired about the location and geographical shape of the Jade Maiden Terrace.

Xun You said that the Jade Girl Terrace is only a part of Yangcheng Mountain, and the terrain is low and gentle, so it can hide troops, but its advantages are limited. Heading northwest from Jade Girl Taipei, it is easy to bypass Jade Girl Terrace. Liu Bei's Zahu cavalry was slaughtered in the first battle of Xingyang, and now there are only a few hundred foot soldiers left, and he can't stop the army of the Son of Heaven at all, so there is nothing to worry about.

"The danger is not in the Jade Maiden." Xun You's face was very stern and said, "The danger is in the twenty-eighth pool northwest of the Jade Girl Terrace. ”

Liu Wei agreed with Xun You's view. He heard Xun You say that Twenty-Eight Pu. Twenty-eight pools refer to a mountainous area at the southern foot of Mount Taimuro, the terrain is complex, and it is said that there are twenty-eight stone pools distributed in spring, like the shape of twenty-eight houses. In winter, the water is shallow, many rivers are cut off, and Twenty-eight Pu is no exception, the water level is not high, but the stone pools are connected to each other, disturbing one pool, and other pools will also react. In other words, once he enters the range of Twenty-Eight Pu, his whereabouts cannot be concealed.

What's even weirder is that Twenty-Eight Pu is still a little weird. It is said that pedestrians can only scoop water from the pond to drink, and cannot enter the pond to wash their hands, otherwise they will get sick, and there will be haunting and other things in the surrounding area. When the army passed through Twenty-Eight Pu, not only the people had to drink water, but also the horses, and if this was a haunt, it would be a big trouble.

Liu Wei didn't believe these rumors himself, but he couldn't forbid other soldiers to believe them. He ordered everyone to bring enough drinking water before going out, and to try not to drink horses when passing through Twenty-Eight Pu, and not to mess around if they wanted to replenish water.

Xun You smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you can't hide your whereabouts, that's not the most important thing." The important thing is that although there are many pools here, the amount of water is very small, and once it is blocked here, it is inevitable that there will be a shortage of water. When the time comes, I am in a dilemma, and I am afraid of ......"

Liu Wei smiled, since it was a surprise attack, of course he had to take risks, not to mention that he was counted as a positive person.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you don't go into the mountains, no one can stop my iron horse." Liu Wei smiled lightly: "If Cao Cao wants to trap me, he will inevitably mobilize the main force, so that Jia Xu can rescue Lu Bu along the way." At that time, it may not be clear who will trap whom. Gongda, think about it, apart from Twenty-Eight Pu, what are the dangers nearby, we just don't get close to it as much as possible. He has a thousand kinds of ingenuity, I have a force, people block and kill, and God blocks and kills God. If you can fight, you will fight, and if you can't fight, you will go. ”

Xun You nodded, things have come to this point, and that's the only way to go.

Liu Wei immediately ordered out, and five thousand elite horses rode towards the Jade Maiden Platform to kill.

……

Looking at the straight smoke and dust in the distance, Liu Bei's face was ugly.

He had just received a report from the scout that Liu Wei was leading five thousand elite horsemen to this place, and his heart sank.

I'm really afraid of something, Liu Wei really came from this road. He claimed to have a thousand, but in fact he knew that there were not even eight hundred. Without the concealment of an ambush, relying on less than 800 foot soldiers to block 5,000 elite cavalry is tantamount to a fool's dream. After this battle, even if he can escape alive, this bit of family wealth will be lost.

"Brother, I'm not wrong, the faint king really came from this road." Guan Yu rushed over, with a smug face.

"Yun Chang, do you think we can stop him?" Liu Bei pointed to the smoke and dust in the distance, "Do you want to bury all these hundreds of people here?" ”

Guan Yu realized the cruel truth at this time, his face darkened, and he closed his mouth in disdain.

Zhang Fei ran over and shouted, "Brother, what should I do?" Fighting? ”

"It's still going to be a fight." Liu Bei said helplessly: "If you run away without a fight, what face will my brother have to meet in the future." ”

"That's just as well." After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he glanced at the faces of Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and knew that the words were wrong, so he turned his head and ran, shouting as he ran: "Two brothers, I'll take the lead." ”

Guan Yu arched his hand: "Brother, you are in command, I will go and watch the third brother, don't be hurt." ”

"Go ahead, be careful yourself."

"Whoa." Guan Yu replied and strode down the hill.

Zhang Fei turned over and rode back and forth in front of the formation, shouting loudly: "Array, array!" Cheer up, what are you afraid of? We have the advantage of the terrain, and we are brothers, and we are not afraid of whoever comes. Stop the Son of Heaven, everyone has a reward......"

Without waiting for Zhang Fei to finish speaking, Guan Yu urged the Jueying to pass by him, rushed down the hillside, restrained the Jueying in the middle of the avenue, holding a knife in one hand and holding the reins in the other, squinting at the cavalry who were getting closer and closer, with a proud expression, as if it was just a group of ants that were rushing over to kill, and he didn't need Zhang Fei and those hundreds of foot soldiers at all, he could kill these cavalry alone.

When the soldiers who were in ambush on the hillside saw this, they all straightened up involuntarily. The originally shaky hands have slowly stabilized, the bow that could not be pulled can be pulled away, and the originally soft legs have also become stronger.

Guan Yu didn't need to say a word, just a stop in the middle of the road, which gave people confidence in him.

Looking at Guan Yu's tall and majestic figure, Zhang Fei swallowed his saliva with envy, raised the snake spear in his hand, and shouted: "Crossbowman, prepare-". (To be continued......)
