Chapter 046: Famous Sword Zhanlu
In fact, the inspiration for Young Master Zhuge to splash water and cast ice city did not come from elsewhere, but from our Prime Minister Cao Cheng. But now, I'm afraid that even our Prime Minister Cao Cheng himself would not have thought that he would have such a genius idea in the future. Historically, after the setback of Chibi, Prime Minister Cao Cheng led his army back to Xudu, gave up the plan of the southern expedition, shifted the focus of the military offensive from the south to the northwest, and prepared to concentrate on the first elimination of the Guanzhong warlord group headed by Ma Chao and Han Sui, which had long threatened the hinterland of his rear.
At that time, the warlords in Guanzhong were powerful and powerful, with many soldiers and horses. In addition, the northwest is rich in good horses and horses, and there are Qiang people in Yongzhou and Liangzhou to help, the soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and the cavalry is even more unstoppable. At that time, Cao's army had just arrived in the northwest, and its foothold was unstable, and the northwest had been fighting for many years, and the forests had been seriously damaged, and it was difficult to find timber for building a large camp, so the fence of Cao's newly built barracks was low, and it was difficult to resist the impact of the tall northwest war horses. Cao's camp was repeatedly breached by Ma Chao's troops, which once made Cao Cao extremely distressed.
However, fortunately, just when Cao Cao was at a loss, the powerful cold Siberian air moved south, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Heavy snowfall. Cao Cao was overjoyed, ordered his subordinates to water the sand, and built a tall ice city overnight, and Ma Chao's cavalry could no longer break through Cao Cao's camp. Cao Jun finally gained a firm foothold and laid the foundation for the later elimination of Ma Chao and Han Sui Group.
This history is familiar to Young Master Zhuge who has loved to listen to the stories of the Three Kingdoms since he was a child. Before, he focused on using the equipment of the future generations to help Liu Bei defend the city. But today's heavy snow made Young Master Zhuge have a whim, why not follow Cao Cao's example and build an ice city. What about taking advantage of the long and cold winter of the Xiaoice River period in the Eastern Han Dynasty to fight against the Cao army?
"Wonderful! Hahaha, it's really a tiger father without a dog! Zhuge Gongzi really won the true legend of the military teacher! "When Zhuge Zhan presented the treasure to Zhuge Dad, he didn't notice that Liu Bei was in the study of his father, who stayed overnight yesterday. Hey, poor Mrs. Zhuge , I was alone in the empty room yesterday! Damn Liu Xuande!
"The lord praises it! The dog is young and ignorant, disturbing the lord's dream! Seeing that Liu Bei was also awake, Father Zhuge hurriedly put Young Master Zhuge down and saluted Liu Bei.
"Hey! Why are the military advisors so polite? The little boy is very smart, and it is rare to be able to come up with such a clever plan at a young age, and it will be a great tool in the future! Hahaha! ”
"The lord thinks this plan is feasible?"
"It's doable, it's doable! Over the years, the south has become increasingly cold, and I haven't felt it as a northerner, but I only remembered it when I was reminded today. Thinking about the six years of Jian'an, when I first arrived in Jingzhou, there was no ice in winter. Unexpectedly, seven or eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather in Jingzhou is getting colder and colder! In recent years, the weather has become colder, and some small rivers will freeze and stop flowing in winter, and the snow will be bigger and bigger every year! Today, it seems that the sky is actually protecting me Liu Bei! Gangneung is a high city and a deep pond, making it difficult to climb! Although the offensive of the Cao army has been fierce in the past few days, the casualties are also very large! If the ice wall is really poured with water, Cao Jun wants to capture Jiangling, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky! Ha Lu Ha! ”
Liu Bei has been anxious in the past few days because Cao's army has continued to attack the city and has difficulty sleeping. That's why I pulled Zhuge Daddy all night to talk nonsense. After listening to Zhuge Zhan's words, the block in his heart was suddenly relieved, and he exhaled deeply! Walking in front of Zhuge Zhan, he bowed his waist, looking like a strange uncle, Zhuge Zhan, who was laughing, was chilled all over his body, and he didn't feel a cold shiver, and said in his heart, this guy won't have pedophilia, right? However, it turns out that Young Master Zhuge thought too much. I saw Liu Bei take out a delicate small sword from his arms and hand it to Young Master Zhuge .
"Zhan'er, you have made a great contribution today, and Uncle Liu has nothing to give you! This little sword was given to me by His Majesty the Emperor after Uncle Liu returned victoriously from the conquest of Lu Bu's rebels, and Uncle Liu will give it to you today! Do you like it? Zhuge Zhan took the small sword and drew out the blade. Take a closer look, only to see that this sword is black all over, the blade does not know what kind of metal it is, there are three big characters "Zhanlu" on it, the hilt is cast in bronze, the scabbard is also cast in bronze, and the dragon pattern is hollowed out on it. The whole body is particularly elegant, and it is indeed a rare good sword. Zhuge Zhan swung his sword and slashed at a big stone next to him, only to hear a "click", and the big stone broke into two parts in response. was so shocked that Zhuge and his son were dumbfounded, and then they realized that Liu Bei's guy had a lot of blood today! This thing is a peerless treasure! Father Zhuge took it from Zhuge Zhan's hand and took a look, and he was well-informed and knowledgeable, and he immediately knew the origin of this sword.
"My lord! This is the Zhanlu Divine Sword forged by Ou Yezi! Zhuge Liang asked with big eyes of surprise.
"Exactly!" Liu Bei had a dashing smile on his face. I said in my heart, how about it, I was moved! Liu Bei, this guy buys people's hearts and never spares up blood.
Ou Yezi was a famous swordsmith in the Spring and Autumn Period of Yue, and was the father-in-law of another famous swordsmith in history and the father of Mo Xie. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yue Wang Yun often ordered Ou Yezi to cast a sword. Ou Yezi took his wife Zhu, daughter Mo Xie and son-in-law to the famous mountains and rivers in today's Fujian and Zhejiang to find a suitable place to cast a sword. The ancients also paid attention to feng shui in casting swords, which may not only be a matter of superstition, but in the case of relatively backward smelting techniques, people are not very clear about the technical conditions required to smelt good swords, and may be able to cast a sword with better texture due to the special water quality and natural conditions that meet the conditions for making good metal, but the ancients did not understand it, and blamed it on feng shui and earth qi. Therefore, the ancient swordsmiths paid special attention to the choice of the location of the sword.
When they arrived at the area of Zhanlu Mountain in Songxi, they saw that this place was quiet and lush, charcoal was easy to obtain, rich in mineral deposits, and the mountain spring was clear, suitable for quenching swords, so they settled here to cast swords. After 3 years of hard work, the sword of Zhanlu was finally cast. At that time, there were five famous swords in the world: Zhan Lu, Ju Que, Shengxie, Yu Gu, and Chun Jun, and Zhan Lu ranked first.
It is said that this sword has short hair and sharpens iron like clay, which is unparalleled in the world. Later generations of poets inscribed a poem: "Ten years of clouds lying under Zhanlu." There are double dragons in the bucket, where in the world to ask Ouyeel? Ouye has been gone for a few years, and the sword of Zhan Lu is also long. "Han ̇ Yuan Kang's "Yue Jue Shu ̇ Volume 11 ̇ Foreign Biography Sword": "Ou Ye is because of the spirit of heaven, know its tricks, and make it three major punishments, two small punishments: one is called Zhan Lu, two is called Chunjun, three is called victory and evil, four is called fish intestines, and five is called Juque. The Tang Dynasty poet Du Fu also wrote in "Jiangling Wandering Poems": "The courtiers are also in military uniforms, and the king is according to Zhanlu." It can be seen that Zhan Lu is very famous.
At the beginning, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty gave Liu Bei this good sword, which meant to recruit Liu Bei for his own use. Today, Liu Bei gave this sword to Zhuge Zhan again, of course, it doesn't mean that Zhuge Zhan has an idea, Liu Bei will value him how much, that's not it, this is actually for Zhuge Daddy to see, expressing his importance to the Zhuge family. In ancient times, it was also an effective means to reward the ministers with their children.
