Chapter 505: A Sword Trench
In the autumn of the fifty-third year of the dynasty, the Northern Turks gathered 300,000 troops to invade the Central Plains, and the dynasty dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses to meet the battle.
The 300,000 Northern Turks had just left Confucianism for 50 miles, when the mountains suddenly shook behind them, and when the shaking subsided, a rift valley five miles wide and fifty miles long appeared out of thin air at the junction of the two dynasties, and the rift valley almost spanned most of the northern part of Confucianism.
For hundreds of years, the rift valley became a natural hazard that hindered the southward movement of the Northern Turks, and thus ended the history of the Central Plains being infested by nomads for thousands of years. ”
The above, from the seventy-second chapter of the "Official History of the Dynasty", later generations have always had various speculations about the cause of the rift, some say that it was because of earthquakes, some say that it is plate movement, and some wild histories attribute it to divine skills.
Naturally, there is no way to verify the truth of this matter, but since then, a legend about the sword god slashing the sky has gradually spread, and the people have always been keen on the gods and monsters, and many sword temples have been established in various parts of the dynasty, and the incense has been flourishing until a thousand years later.
……
The man who created this world-famous wonder with his own hands is standing in the air with his sword in his hand, quietly looking down at the huge chasm under his feet.
At the head of Ruzhou City, the young Wang Qianshan looked at the figure in mid-air in a daze, and his mood could not be calmed for a long time, just now, the father who had not been on the right path all day suddenly disappeared from his side, and about a quarter of an hour later appeared in the middle of the sky forty miles in the north.
The boy was wondering what he was going to do, but when he saw his father waving his hand to this side, the frost on his back immediately came out of its sheath, and almost instantly, the sword appeared in the other man's hand, and then the boy saw an unforgettable scene in his life:
The father held the sword in one hand, his body flipped in a circle in the air, and the frost in his hand swung down fiercely, and the next moment, there was a roar from the ground, trees toppling, rivers pouring in, and a bottomless moat appeared.
The young man suddenly remembered his father's previous incoherent words: Strictly speaking, I should be an immortal, do immortals understand? Sun Monkey, the kind that can make trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
At first he scoffed, but now he couldn't believe it.
……
Wang Quanquan was very satisfied with the result of this sword, and after admiring it in the air for a while, he flew straight to the south, and after a short time, he stepped back on the city, he looked at his son, who was still in a daze, and said proudly:
"How about this move for my father's 'one sword, frost and fourteen states'?"
As he spoke, he threw the snow-white sword with the hilt in his hand and inserted it back into the scabbard behind Wang Qianshan.
The vibration from behind made the young man come back to his senses, he pulled the shoulder strap and frowned:
"Father has been preparing for a long time in order to be in the limelight."
The king's authority was debunked by his son, and his face was somewhat unbearable, so he said with a straight face:
"Stinky boy, I know that the stage is being demolished, my father almost flashed his waist just now, so I don't know how to say a nice compliment?"
"This move is beneficial in the present, and the people of the fourteen states are indeed a good thing, but the child doesn't understand, since his father is so powerful, why not take down the four clans in one fell swoop and let the banner of my dynasty be planted all over the world?"
The royal authority that had just returned to the majesty immediately became a little hesitant when he heard this:
"Uh...... There are many things involved, everything has its own cause and effect, and if the father intervenes and kills in vain, he is afraid of being damned. ”
】
This reason is too far-fetched for ordinary people, but Wang Qianshan, who has always liked to sing the opposite, said thoughtfully: "The child has been taught." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and stared directly at Wang Quanquan, "Teach me." ”
"Oh, I knew it."
While the father and son were chatting, Li Hu rushed over when he heard the news, and when he saw the king's authority, he immediately had a guess, he stepped forward and whispered:
"Lord Wang, the earth just moved...?"
"Now that General Li's problem has been solved, then my father and son will leave it and stay."
After that, Wang Quanquan walked down the city, Wang Qianshan glanced at Zhao Hu, who wanted to stop talking, shrugged his shoulders, and followed.
……
In the Northern Turkistan army, in the face of this amazing scene, everyone had different expressions.
Dayan's aunt and nephew, like most people, were shocked and speechless for a long time, the mooncakes' faces were always calm, and their fingers gently pinched the Buddha beads, not knowing what they were thinking.
Park Wen just woke up at this time, shook his body and stepped forward, first looked at the moon cake with a little surprise, and then found a deep ditch not far away, and said with a puzzled face:
"Was there a ditch there, why don't I remember?"
……
As soon as Emperor Shun returned to Beijing, his ass was not yet hot, and all kinds of news came one after another.
First of all, the fourteen states returned to the dynasty smoothly, which was a bit unexpected to him, he thought that the Northern Turkistan would use the excuse to delay or simply leave and burn and loot again, but he didn't expect it to be surprisingly stable, and the handover was completed in just a few days.
After that, the army of Battle was assassinated in the north of Ruzhou, and in connection with their previous actions, Emperor Shun understood why the other party was so eager to retreat, although he wasted an opportunity to attack Northern Turkistan, but successfully recovered the fourteen states, completing a feat that he had not had for more than two hundred years, which was enough for him to leave a strong mark in history.
As for the last thing, it is naturally the huge chasm that suddenly appeared north of Confucianism, which is beneficial and harmless in the Central Plains, no less than the Great Wall built by the King of Qin in the past.
Today's Emperor Shun is over half a hundred years old, and his body has long lost his youthful vigor, and he has become more and more transparent.
In the past fifteen years, the king has been away from Beijing for a long time, and Emperor Shun has built up merits little by little, and finally walked out of the shadow of the other party, but today, fifteen years later, the situation has become the same as before overnight.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shun couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and Lian Li, who came to report on the side, was puzzled:
"Why is Your Majesty laughing?"
"I admit defeat ......"
————
Half a month later, Wang Quanquan and his son returned to Zhongzhou.
This time I went out for more than a month, and my family was more or less worried, especially for Wang Qianshan, who regarded him as a treasure on weekdays, and as soon as he came back, they all surrounded him, saying all kinds of words of hushing and warmth.
Wang Qianshan was very well-behaved and pleasing in front of the rest of the elders, distributing the clothes brought back from Ruzhou, while telling what he had seen and heard on the road, and Wang Quanquan was completely left out and no one cared about him.
He was too lazy to compete with a child for the limelight, so he came to the pavilion in the courtyard alone, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Wang Qianying coming over with his clothes.
……
"See Father."
Wang Qianying gave a standard salute, and now he is in his early twenties, Xu is with his mother, he is born with outstanding grace, his face is like a crown of jade, and he is also very easy-going in dealing with people, unlike Wang Qianshan, who does not take his father seriously.
Wang Quanquan nodded at the eldest son, pointed to the seat opposite, and after the other party was seated, he asked:
"I didn't take you out this time, I won't blame Dad, right?"
"Back to my father, my younger brother is still young, it's always good to go out and see the world, and the family business needs to be taken care of, so the children should stay."
Although Wang Qian's tone was calm, there was always a sour smell in his words, and Wang Quanquan did not favor one over the other, and said with both hands:
"I know I'm sorry for you, my father is not as good as your brother, and he didn't bring you a gift. But there is a woman in Beitu, who is in her thirties and has a convex and backward appearance, and she doesn't have to pick and choose, it just so happens that you lack a maid, if you don't dislike it......"
Without waiting for Wang Quanquan to finish speaking, Wang Qianying suddenly got up and said deeply to the other party:
"It's the child who is not filial, and he doesn't know how to understand his father's difficulties."
Wang Quanquan shook his head with a smile, although he couldn't see his son's expression, but the corners of this kid's mouth were almost grinning to the back of his head.
