Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 35 The Palace of the King of Qin
Zhang Bao had already been blocked by his entourage, and after a few rounds, Cao Cao saw that the martial arts of these people were not weak, and it seemed that the Zhang brothers were indeed not good at recruiting the rivers and lakes.
Zhang Bao looked at Cao Cao: "What Liu Bei Ke is better than, I don't even look at it, if you wait to hand over the Five Elements Sword, I will not be embarrassed by you, I will let me go." If you are obsessed, you are afraid that those who will come in will not be able to get out. “
He also knew that the Five Elements Sword was a family heirloom, and the other party would definitely not hand it over easily, since the 'first salute' could not be achieved, then it could only be the 'rear soldier', Zhang Bao waved his hand, and the entourage behind him showed his weapons in an uproar, and surrounded Cao Cao and Xiahoudun.
There are many people on the other side, and they have been prepared for a long time, so they can't fight here, so try to rush out and talk about it, Cao Cao reminded his teammates loudly, the stairs can't be walked, maybe there are still many people in ambush underground, and the only hope is to go through the window.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, after all, there are three Five Elements Swords present, no matter how much it costs, Zhang Bao will not hesitate, because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, these years have been planning for so long, isn't it just for the Five Elements Sword, now there are three sent to the door, and I will not get a certain regret for life.
So Zhang Bao's subordinates rushed forward desperately, and Zhang Bao promised on the spot that whoever got a sword would seal thousands of households. Zhang Bao is the second leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and his words can naturally be fulfilled, and no matter how much benefit this thousand households have, but these people have traveled thousands of miles to join the Zhang family, isn't this what they are? Yes, in their eyes, Cao Cao and the others have become Huang Cancan's gold ingots. More than 30 people to three people, the ratio of 10 to 1 is simply hand-to-hand.
That's it, Zhang Bao still has some regrets, he planned to be Guan Yu and the 'double-strand sword', but he didn't expect Cao Cao and Xiahoudun to come together, so he only brought his entourage and did not mobilize the army. Fortunately, when Cao Cao and the others were about to arrive at the 'Weeping Willow Fang', he had already sent someone to transfer the Yellow Turban Army, and he could only delay it for a moment, and when the army arrived, everything would be settled.
Cao Cao also knows the truth, the hero does not suffer the immediate loss, and escapes from the 'Weeping Willow Fang' first. The two sides are fighting fiercely, and they don't pay attention to any moves, and at this moment, there is only you who lives and dies.
After a while, the room was full of flesh and blood, screaming continuously, and half of Zhang Bao's men were killed or wounded. Zhang Bao also joined the battle, so close, the fireball in his iron pipe could not be used, but Zhang Bao's martial arts were not ambiguous, and if it was one-on-one, it was on par with Xiahou Dun.
Guan Yu's Qinglong knife took advantage, he leaned his back against the wall, and danced the knife wide, flying up and down, making it easy for people to get close, and five or six people had become ghosts under the knife.
Zhang Bao and the others never expected that Cao Cao's skill was so high that more than a dozen people attacked at the same time, and they couldn't take advantage.
However, Xiahoudun was slightly weaker and was regarded as a breakthrough target by Zhang Bao's subordinates, but after all, with the 'Overlord Sword' in hand, he could also maintain self-protection.
Time passes, and the longer it takes, the more unfavorable it is to Cao Cao and the others, but the other party is not an idle person, going forward and successively, rushing forward like a wheel, and with great motivation, it is all desperate.
After two more bags of cigarettes, Guan Yu and Xiahoudun also hung colors, Cao Cao saw that the situation was not good, and used the 'Maha Prajna Sword Technique' to attack the enemy, so he couldn't force out a little space, and hurriedly beckoned his companions to jump out of the window.
With Cao Cao's cover, the two slashed a few opponents, and finally came to the window, and jumped out without saying anything. Cao Cao saw that his companion had succeeded, and he also jumped out at the moment when he forced the opponent back.
Zhang Bao was angry and beckoned his men to chase after him. In this fight, the original more than 30 people have been reduced by half.
What I didn't expect was that there was also an ambush outside the window, Guan Yu and Xiahoudun just jumped down, they were caught by a big net, and more than a dozen people rushed out, regardless of the indiscriminate, the swords greeted the two of them together.
In this situation, Guan Yu's Qinglong knife can't work, the handle is too long, naturally it can't be used, and after struggling, he was stabbed in the leg, but fortunately, thanks to the advantage of the 'Overlord Sword', the big net was cut to pieces, which saved the lives of the two.
Cao Cao jumped down, and saw that there was also an ambush downstairs, so he relied on the 'Qinghong Sword' and profound skills to open the way in front and break through with Guan Yu and Xiahoudun.
Obviously, the martial arts of these people downstairs are weaker, and most of them are killed and injured in the blink of an eye. To the east is the big river, to the west is an unobstructed open crop field, and there is a large weeping willow forest in the south that is the most suitable place to hide, so the three of them retreated while fighting and fled all the way to the weeping willow forest.
Zhang Bao and the others were in hot pursuit, and what was worse was that at this time, a large number of Yellow Turban troops also arrived, and there were thousands of people in the black press. Zhang Bao was overjoyed, ordered the army to pursue with all his might, and announced that if he was caught alive or dead, he would be rewarded with 100 taels of silver per person, and if he failed, he would be punished with 20 military sticks per person.
When I entered the weeping willow forest, I found that the soil under my feet was almost all sandy, and the soil was soft, which was very physically demanding, but fortunately, the same was true for the pursuers. After running for a while, he suddenly saw a palace in the depths of the woods.
When I came to the front, it was really a large-scale palace, but it was a little dilapidated, it should have been uninhabited for many years, and the handwriting on the main gate was also a little blurred, but the words 'Qin Palace' could barely be recognized.
I don't care what the place is, so I'll find a place to hide first. So the three of them flew and jumped into the high wall.
Cao Cao and the three of them didn't care about 3721 and broke in, but Zhang Bao and the others stopped outside the door. This 'Qin Palace' is not simple, that is, when Qin Shi Huang passed by the palace here when he went out on patrol, and finally died violently, he died in this palace.
But because of this, the 'Qin Palace' has been ordered by Zhang Jiao to be a forbidden place, and no one is allowed to enter it. Because Zhang Jiao founded the Taiping Divine Cult and organized the Yellow Turban Army to fight against the imperial court, the slogan was 'Anti-Han Xingqin', and the first article of the Divine Cult said that Zhang Jiao was entrusted by Qin Shi Huang in this 'Qin Palace', which was the 'rebel army according to the will of heaven', and even the title of 'Tiangong General' is said to have been sealed by Qin Shi Huang in his dream. Therefore, on the eve of the war, Zhang Jiao always went to the altar here alone, his soul went out of his body, and he 'exchanged' with Qin Shi Huang about the good luck and culprit of the war. Once the message is good, the Yellow Turban Army will be particularly energetic and combat effectiveness when fighting.
Therefore, this 'Qin Palace' is not allowed to enter except for the Jiaojiao. Zhang Bao naturally knew the secrets of his eldest brother in the 'Qin Palace', and he would never let so many people in, of course, everyone knew about this ban, and they all focused on Zhang Bao to see what he had in mind.
Zhang Bao pondered a little, selected ten of his subordinates, and ordered each of them to lead more than 100 Yellow Turban troops to surround the 'Qin Palace', and the rest of the people were on guard in place and were not allowed to act rashly.
Soon, thousands of Yellow Turban troops surrounded the 'Qin Palace'. Zhang Bao ordered people to set up a temporary grass hut outside the door and waited in it.
One of his subordinates cautiously asked: "Second General, do you want to send someone to ask the sect master, after all, those are three five-element swords, it is better to go in and arrest them while they are out of breath, so as not to have too many dreams at night." ”
As soon as the man's voice fell, he received a slap in the face. "Bastard, only the sect leader can enter the 'Qin Palace', even this general I have never stepped into a step, don't you all want to die?"
Because you can get Qin Shi Huangdi's 'dream' inside, this is the spiritual power source of the entire Yellow Turban Army, and once others enter, it will ruin Zhang Jiao's big thing.
Another person laughed and said: "The lesson of the second general is that what if they just wait like this, what if they hide inside and don't come out?"
"You don't understand this," Zhang Bao smiled, as if he already had an idea, "I'll tell you a story, and you'll understand." ”
Storytelling? Storytelling can catch Cao Cao and the others? The subordinates felt a little inexplicable, but they didn't dare to question it, so they had to listen to it.
"Do you know who first built this 'Qin Palace'? Let me tell you, it was the Shang King Zuyi, of course, at that time, this place was called the sand dune platform. In order to avoid floods, the Shang Dynasty has moved the capital many times, when the Shang king Zu Yi, the capital was moved to Xing, and there were five Shang kings living here, one of which was a Shang king built a gorgeous palace on this sand dune platform. Because the Shang king was unfortunate enough to die in the sand dunes, it became an ominous place, and the palace was decaying. “
"For this reason, when Qin Shi Huang traveled around the world, he was seriously ill on the way, and when he passed the Dune Palace, including Prime Minister Li Si and others, they did not approve of resting here, thinking that this ominous place was unlucky for the emperor's illness. Qin Shi Huang disagreed, he proclaimed himself the overlord of the world, did not believe in the evil spirit at all, and insisted on staying in, but of course you all know, Qin Shi Huang finally died here. “
"And what I want to tell you is that another reason for Li Si's opposition back then was King Zhao Wuling. King Zhao Wuling, who was eloquent and promoted Hufu cavalry and archery, was keen to fight on the battlefield, so he gave up the throne to his eldest son, so that he could easily hunt in all directions. But after a long time, the problem came out, and many ministers gathered around their sons, but isolated themselves. In order to avoid the loss of power, he came up with an idea, that is, to keep sealing his youngest son, and constantly hinting that he and his brother were competing for the throne, at this time the youngest son was also full-fledged, so he led the army to fight with his brother, King Zhao Wuling was hiding in this Dune Palace at that time, and his idea was to take advantage of the time when the two sides were fighting, in the name of coordination, to take the opportunity to regain power. “
In the end, the younger son was defeated and fled into the Dune Palace, and the eldest son refused to give up, so he sent troops to besiege the Dune Palace, and no one was allowed to go out. Guess what? In less than three months, the mighty King Zhao Wuling was starved to death inside. “
After Zhang Bao finished telling this story, his subordinates understood, Cao Cao and the three fled inside, as long as they were besieged, then the three of them would either starve to death or come out and surrender, no matter what the result, the three five-element swords would be in hand.
One of his subordinates thought of a question, that is, King Zhao Wuling had been in it for nearly three months, in case Cao Cao and the others refused to surrender, wouldn't they have to wait for a long time?
As soon as he raised this question, he was scolded by Zhang Bao: "It's really a pig's brain, at that time, there was a lot of food stored in the Dune Palace, and King Zhao Wuling only supported it for three months, and now there is not a grain of grain in it, how many days can the three of them last?"
The subordinates suddenly opened their mouths, gave a thumbs up, and praised Zhang Bao for his cleverness again and again.
