Forty-seven, Huo Qu's death
"I don't know what your position was during your lifetime?" Zhao Yuankang hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed and asked.
Ghosts and gods also have dignity and hope that the living will respect them. If you don't understand the rules and offend the ghosts, you are likely to be severely punished.
For cultivators, more attention is paid to cause and effect, and this Han army, which can guard this place, must be extraordinary, so he has always treated each other with courtesy.
"You don't have to be so polite, my surname is Zhang Mingyang, but during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the captain of the first guard of the Yulin Army under the command of the great general Huo Quai." The man replied aloud.
Zhao Yuankang couldn't help but be surprised, when Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to strengthen the protection of Chang'an City, he placed the middle base, tun cavalry, infantry, Yue cavalry, Changshui, Hu cavalry, shooting sound, and eight captains of Huben. In addition to the eight captains, there are two Praetorian Guards - Period Gate and Yulin.
The Yulin Army, which means "the wings of the country, such as the prosperity of the forest", has been founded by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and has become a brave royal army, which is equivalent to the current Zhongnanhai bodyguard.
And what shocked him the most was that this Yulin Army was actually a descendant army led by Huo Quzhi, who was famous in China.
"Disrespectful, disrespectful, you are actually the subordinates of the champion Hou before his death?" He bowed to the ground and only called Huo Quai's official position before his death, which seemed to respect him a lot.
"The little brother has won the award, we are just an ordinary soldier, and it is an honor for my generation to be able to fight to the death for the champion Hou who is brave enough to fight the world." This captain Zhang mentioned Huo Quai, and his reverence was overflowing.
Modern people only know the name of Huo Quai, but it is difficult to imagine that he was a god of war in that era.
He went to the battlefield at the age of seventeen and took on the responsibility of fighting the Xiongnu together with his uncle Wei Qing.
At this age when many people are fighting and fooling around, he has fought to the death with blood and bravery against the enemies of tigers and wolves.
He did not adhere to the ancient law, brave and decisive, and led 800 horsemen into the enemy territory for hundreds of miles in the first battle, killing the Huns in all directions. Defeat the Xiongnu army with peerless resources.
In the two battles of Hexi, Huo Qubing broke the Xiongnu, captured the Xiongnu and sacrificed Tianjin, and took Qilian Mountain. In the battle of Mobei, Huo Qu was sick and sealed the wolf Juxu and returned victorious. The official is the general of the Great Sima Hussar, and he is the champion of the Hou.
Such a genius, but so short-lived, at the age of twenty-four, unfortunately died, leaving behind historical regrets.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was grief-stricken and cried out, "Give me Huo Qu's illness and my champion Hou!" ”
Emperor Wu dispatched the ironclad army of the five border counties to line up in a formation from Chang'an to Maoling, and gave Huo Qu's tomb an image of Qilian Mountain to express his praise for his achievements.
"General Huo's deeds of fighting against foreign nations have fascinated my generation, and he once said, 'The Huns have not been destroyed, why should they be at home', and now they are thinking about it."
He and Lao Sun both bowed their hands to the distance, and the rolling Qilian Mountain was the area where Huo Qubing fought back then, recording his immortal achievements.
"The two of you should not be presumptuous, although I am a pawn, but I have a thousand years of creation, and I can also detect luck. With my meager ability, I see that both of them have the assets of dragons and tigers, and they are extraordinary. ”
Don't look at this captain Zhang is just an insignificant low-level officer and soldier in the vast history, but he can condense his divine power after death and be appointed by the underworld to guard the two worlds of yin and yang, which shows that he has extraordinary spiritual power, after thousands of years of evolution, he has read countless people and ghosts, and his art of looking at qi is much more reliable than those of them who are fledgling cultivators.
However, to his surprise, this drunkard grandson was hidden deep enough.
He himself was crowned as a virtuous person in the world, and he was worthy of the capital of the dragon and tiger with the ability to turn things around. What kind of encounter does this guy have, he can also be called a dragon and phoenix among people. It seems that I really have to weigh the strength of this guy.
He looked sideways at Lao Sun, this guy can actually show his face, this courage and self-confidence are indeed very incomparable.
"You two must have some reason to come here, right? Can you see me? Captain Zhang Wei asked.
"I got the guidance of the gods, and I came here to find a peerless divine sword, the Zhanlu Sword, I wonder if my predecessors know?" Still humble, he asked.
"You are real, then I won't hide it, the sword of benevolence, Zhan Lu, is indeed here."
Yes!? It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
This Wusheling Ridge, which lies for hundreds of miles, is like looking for this spiritual sword, which is like looking for a needle in the sea.
This ancient Great Wall of the Han Dynasty was originally just a prosaic landscape, if he hadn't been moved and stopped to worship, he would probably have missed this opportunity.
"Then can I ask for a sword?"
This divine sword is a spiritual creature between heaven and earth, with the legend of choosing a name to be born and saving the common people, and it is not something that ordinary people can meet. Therefore, it is very polite.
"I can't call the shots for Sword Spirit. On that day, the descendants of the Yue family deposited this sword here. We deeply feel that Yue Fei's spirit of resisting foreign tribes is no different from the feelings of General Huo Da in defeating the Xiongnu in the past. After hearing the name of Zhan Lu for a long time, he was willing to be the duty of guarding, and as for its going or staying, it decided for itself. ”
Sword Spirit? All magical treasures are guarded by the spirit of the instrument, swearing to protect the artifact, even if it is suppressed by the strong, it can finally burst out with ultimate power, transfer or destroy the artifact.
If you want to get the supreme artifact, only by getting the approval of the artifact spirit can you make it surrender willingly and truly become the owner of the artifact.
"Zhan Lu is a famous sword in the world, and it can be worn by very many people, so I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes. The predecessor, General Naihuo, personally followed, and he should inherit his will, guard Qilian Mountain, suppress the sword, and kill the treacherous. ”
He stood in the wind, looking at the mountains in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"It's a pity that the general is so talented, but he died young, and I didn't have the opportunity to see his side, it's really a pity in my life."
This is his heartfelt words, compared to Huo Quai's world-beating achievements, he was really beaten into slag.
But how can God be jealous of talents, and not let such geniuses stay in the world for a few more years, otherwise, the Han Wu Dynasty will definitely surpass the territory of the Tang Dynasty and Mongolia and become the first heavenly kingdom in history.
"Hehe, the world only says that the general died a pity, but they don't know that his death is not a natural death!!"
Suddenly, Captain Zhang let out a sneer, like a cold wind to the bone, which made people shudder.
What the? Could it be that Huo Quai's death has another hidden meaning?
Not only him, but even the drunkard Lao Sun, who has always been calm, is also in good spirits, and his eyes are shining, but then he is as restrained as ever.
"We have no intention of offending General Huo, but we can't sit idly by, and ask the seniors to tell us the reason for this matter."
He knows very well that the deceased celebrity is the most important honor, and he doesn't want to be tarnished before and after his death, and even if it is true, future generations don't want to mention it.
"Have you ever heard of the White Tiger following orders?" Captain Zhang asked rhetorically.
His cultivation has a broad inheritance, among which there is the study of fate, which the white tiger has also seen according to his fate.
If you commit a white tiger, it will be unlucky. Those who commit the White Tiger are prone to fractures and limbs, and there are many bloody disasters in the hour, ranging from broken bones and disability to short-lived deaths.
This kind of legend is particularly profound in "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" and "Xue Jiajiang", in which Luo Cheng and Xue Rengui both descended from the White Tiger Star and finally died young.
Could it be that Huo Quai's illness is also the fate of the White Tiger Star? In this case, it is very likely.
"The general's order to respond to the White Tiger is already infinitely murderous. Because of years of killing, the resentment is even heavier. He once wanted to ask Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to find someone to resolve it with his military merits. However, because of his high merit and deep affection with Wei Qing's nephew and uncle, he killed Li Kang, and Emperor Wu instructed the demon Li Shaojun to lead Li Dang's soul and five hundred Hun dead soldiers, and pestered Huo Qu to get sick every night, and he named him to get sick, but he couldn't escape his fate. Finally, the white tiger died as he was told. ”
With tears in his eyes, Captain Zhang Guard told this secret that had been buried for thousands of years. It simply made the two refresh their three views.
Huo Quai's ability is undoubted, but after all, he is young and vigorous, and he has become a pawn in the political struggle.
He and Wei Qing, thanks to Wei Zifu's favor, were able to rise in the micro end and become the pillars of dominating the world.
But it has become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the prestige of the frightened nephew is above the Son of Heaven, and he faked the Xuanmen Taoist priest to trap the young champion Hou to death, which has become a mystery for the ages.
Huo Qu's death was not so much caused by fate as he died at the hands of the times.
That era gave you the opportunity to make contributions and become famous, but how can you afford it with your immature shoulders, how can you know how to live in the world with all the bows and retreats bravely?
At this point, Shenjian Zhan Lu knows the way of rise and fall, so he is worthy of the name of Renjian.
