Chapter 745 Cold Moon Blade
Chu Huan asked, "Feng Yuan broke his humble background, where did he get his sword skills?"
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Actually, I have never seen him practice sword skills, but my cousin once told me about Feng Yuanpo. When he was seven or eight years old, he would hold a butcher knife in his hand and kill pigs and dogs with his father. This man was a market gangster at that time, and he always used a knife to fight with people. He also liked to go hunting with hunters. It is said that when he was less than 20 years old, he used a pig-killing knife to kill tigers. Later, he fought on the battlefield and crawled out of the pile of dead people, but he learned a set of sword skills by himself. He called him Badao, or after he became the governor of Hexi Road."
"His father is alive now?"
"His father passed away seven years ago." Xuanyuan Shengcai explained: "At that time, his father had just taken office as the governor of Hexidao for less than three years. The emperor always valued their father and son very much. After his father died, he actually granted him the position of governor of Hexidao. This is certainly a respect for the Feng family, but I think it is to shock the barbarians."
"The Yi barbarians are afraid of the Feng family's father and son?" Chu Huan said in a strange way.
Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said, "Do you know that Feng Yuanpo has a nickname?"
"oh?"
"He is nicknamed as a hunting dog." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "This is the nickname that the emperor personally gave to Feng Yuan. First, it was because the Feng family father and son were very loyal to the emperor, just like a hunting dog. Another reason was that Feng Yuanpo was strange. If he wanted to kill someone, no matter what the price he paid, he would stick to him to the end, just like a hunting dog chasing prey and changing to the goal. After the founding of the country, the Feng family did not guard the entire Hexi at the beginning. The father and son were saints.
The upper part was sent to Yunzhou, the northernmost part of Hexi Road, which was the northernmost part of our Great Qin, and the border with Mobei. At that time, there were Yi barbarians disturbing the border every few days. It can be said that it was the most chaotic place. The father and son arrived in Yongzhou, and they both showed their kindness and power. First, they went on a continuous expedition to wipe out several Yi barbarian tribes, and they were ruthless. Every time, Feng Yuanpo personally led his troops, but the tribes he wiped out, including men, women, young, and livestock and horses, were all killed. After a few battles, the Yi barbarians looked at Feng Yuanpo as if they were flooding and beasts."
"Is this why I got the name of Badao?"
"Feng Yuanpo became famous because it was the Yongzhou War twelve years ago." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Although the Yi Barbarians were afraid of the Feng family's father and son, they were cruel and bloodthirsty. The tribes were fighting each other and fought for years. However, the appearance of Feng Yuanpo made more than a dozen Yi Barbarian tribes join forces. That year, the 17 large tribes of the Yi Barbarians gathered 80,000 people and rushed into Yongzhou in a mighty way. The slogan she put forward was to cut off the heads of the Feng family's father and son."
Chu Huan frowned. The Yi Barbarians are good at killing by nature, but they have strong fighting ability in individual soldiers. Many people have said that fortunately, the Yi Barbarians like to fight in their nests, and there is no outstanding leader who can unify the Yi Barbarian tribes. Otherwise, if the Yi Barbarian tribes were unified under the same banner, they would definitely have the ability to fight against the Western Liang and even the Daqin.
The number of 80,000 barbarians is already sensational, and it is an extremely terrifying army of sweeping legions.
"At that time, there were only about 10,000 defenders in Yongzhou." Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "When the Feng family heard that the 80,000 Yi barbarians came, they immediately packed up the gold, silver and soft, turned around and left. Moreover, everyone in Yongzhou City saw that the Feng family's convoy had dozens of boxes of property, regardless of the lives and death of the people, and hurried out of the city in broad daylight. The people in the city knew that something was wrong, and even the Feng family father and son ran away. Everyone knew that there would be no defense in Yongzhou City, and they all fled. By the time the Yi barbarian coalition forces reached Yongzhou City, Yongzhou City was almost an empty city."
When Chu Huan heard this, he always felt something was wrong, but he didn't say anything.
Xuanyuan Sheng smiled slightly before continuing: "When the Yi Barbarians entered the city, there were actually many wealth in the city that they had no time to transport away. You said that those Yi Barbarians saw good things in the city and did not have the heart to continue pursuing them. They were originally a coalition force composed of more than a dozen large tribes. After entering the city, they were afraid that other tribes would rob their property. They were rampant in the city for two days. That night, a fire suddenly became raging in the city. Overnight, it seemed that every place in Yongzhou City was ignited...!"
Chu Huan suddenly understood and couldn't help clapping his hands and said, "The Feng family's father and son are really cunning. It's fake to retreat, and it's real to Burning the City."
Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, they deliberately pretended to retreat. In fact, they had already poured tinder oil in various parts of Yongzhou City. There were spies left in the city. As soon as the signal outside the city was signaled, the spies in the city set fire in the city at the same time. You said that a border city suddenly caught fire in the whole city. How could the Yi barbarians not panic? These Yi barbarians had never seen such a formation. They were panic, burned countless people and ran around, wanting to leave the city, but Feng Yuanpo had already transferred troops and guarded the four gates. Those Yi barbarians would have to pay a huge price to rush out of the city."
"Eighty thousand barbarians, even in panic, will not be easy to deal with." Chu Huan said.
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "It is said that except for the Feng family's father and son, they also sent people to Shuofang Prefecture City, Hexi Road, to seek help. Shuofang Prefecture City quickly dispatched thousands of troops to seek reinforcements. Although the number of people was not as good as that of the Yi Barbarians, even if we fought alone, we were not necessarily the opponent of the Yi Barbarians. But we won the scheduling and unification and cooperation. The Yi Barbarians were a mess, and almost all tribes fought on their own. Even in that battle, although the Yi Barbarians finally broke through tens of thousands of people, after the war, the Yi Barbarians left more than 20,000 corpses in the battle in Yongzhou... At that time, thousands of prisoners were captured alive, Feng Yuanpo directly ordered all of them to be killed. He executed himself, and one person cut off nearly two hundred heads with a knife. It was also that time that the name of the Badao was born from this."
Chu Huan couldn't help but take a deep breath of air. If one person killed two hundred enemy troops on the battlefield, he would definitely be a top-notch hero. However, he slaughtered two hundred prisoners by one, which shows that Feng Yuanbo was extremely killing and cruel, and he was really not an ordinary person. But when he thought about it, facing the barbarian and cruel barbarians who had not yet been enlightened, Feng Yuanbo was really the best candidate to shock them.
"I have seen Feng Yuanpo twice in Beijing." Chu Huan sighed, "but I can't tell that he is actually such a cruel person."
Xuanyuan Shengcai smiled and said, "This man is very capable and good at flattering. Every time he goes to Beijing, he will bring many items from Hexi, most of which are specialties from the Yi barbarians. It is not very expensive, but after all, it is strange. The officials in the court have a share. If it were someone else, the emperor would have to punish him for forming cliques and making personal gains. However, the emperor never blames Feng Yuanpo... Feng Yuanpo is brave and good at fighting, and he is good at being a human being, and... hehe, he also looks like a loyal person. The emperor likes him very much." Speaking of this, he was a little strange and asked, "Why did lord suddenly ask about these?"
Chu Huan said: "I originally wanted to ask General Xuanyuan about famous swords in the world, but he unknowingly mentioned this person. By the way, since Feng Yuanpo is known as a domineering sword, he must have a good sword?"
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "After the Yongzhou War, the Feng family's father and son were immediately promoted by the emperor. Feng Yuanpo's father and son were directly promoted from the prefecture to the governor of Hexi Road. When the father and son came to Beijing to thank him, the emperor gave Feng Yuanpo a famous sword, which was a peerless sword passed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, the Daxia Dragon Bird."
Chu Huan nodded slightly, waved to a soldier, and asked him to bring him a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Then he spread paper on the table table in the tent and waved his hand. In just a moment, he drew a pattern of a knife.
Xuanyuan Sheng looked at him twice and said in a lost voice: "This is... the Han Yue Blade!"
Chu Huan's eyes lit up and he asked, "General Xuanyuan knows this knife?"
Xuanyuan Shengcai said: "Do you know Jing Ke?"
"Jing Ke?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "Is General Xuanyuan talking about the assassin of Yan State who assassinated the King of Qin?"
Xuanyuan Sheng nodded and said, "Yes, it's this person. This person used to assassinate the King of Qin back then...!" He pointed to the knife picture on the paper, "It's this Cold Moon Blade!"
Chu Huan was stunned.
He naturally knew very well about the story of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin.
The wind is whistling and the Yishui is cold, and the hero will never return once he leaves!
"This knife is the famous blade of Mrs. Xu of Zhao in the late Warring States Period. It is like a crescent moon and is full of cold air." Xuanyuan Shengcai explained: "Later, the royal family of Yan paid a lot of money to buy it and handed it over to the palace craftsmen to repeatedly temper it, and finally became a poisonous knife with blood-sealed throat. This knife is said to have cut iron like mud. Prince Yan sent Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin. At that time, King Zheng of Qin had a peerless sword in his hand. Gan Zheng of Gan Moye, in order to deal with the Gan Zheng of Qin, Moye, he specially handed the Han Yue Blade to Jing Ke. However, Jing Ke failed to assassinate Qin that year, and the Han Yue Blade lost its whereabouts. Later, although people had heard of its whereabouts several times, no one knew where it was."
Chu Huan frowned and didn't say anything for a moment.
Xuanyuan Sheng saw Chu Huan's strange expression and asked, "Sir, why did you suddenly draw this picture? Could it be... Have you seen the Han Yue Blade?"
Chu Huan nodded.
Xuanyuan Shengcai's eyes showed a look of surprise and said excitedly: "Sir, have you really seen the Han Yue Blade?"
Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "Look at General Xuanyuan's meaning, although he knows the origin of this knife, he doesn't know what the knife is now?"
Xuanyuan Shengcai shook his head and said, "When I was in the martial arts hall, I had a special course on learning weapons. At that time, I already knew Han Yue Blade and knew that this Han Yue Blade was the weapon of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin. But no one knew its whereabouts."
Chu Huan pondered for a moment and finally said, "But this time it appeared."
"What do you mean by sir?"
