Is it possible that the Fish Intestine Sword was actually a table knife that was used to assassinate King Liao of Wu, so that it became so famous that it was attached with various inexplicable legends?
Nowadays, nobles have two sharp weapons that they almost never leave behind. The first sharp weapon is the sword, which is used for fighting and is also a symbol of superiority. The second sharp weapon is the dagger used for cutting meat, which is actually a symbol of status.
.
Don't think that being able to carry a sword is not a good thing. For some people, being able to carry a sword is so important that they will always wear it to show their status.
Isn’t there a story like that? Han Xin, who was so down and out, always kept his sword close to his body, and was still unwilling to take off the sword despite being ridiculed repeatedly. Doesn’t it mean that Han Xin wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors, and used the sword to remind himself that he could not relax, or
The sword is the only thing Han Xin has left that can be used to commemorate the glory of his family.
Wearing a sword was once a way for nobles to show their status. Scholars who were capable of both literary and military skills would always wear swords. They could really draw swords and kill people. Until later, they were killed by a bunch of guys who couldn't lift their hands and couldn't distinguish between grains.
Simple decoration.
Zhiyao was really curious about whether there were any weapons hidden in the scroll.
Because Yurang is no longer the guard leader, the new guard leader Zhiying and Zhiyao have not yet established a tacit understanding, so that they cannot communicate with each other with eyes at all.
"Take the map and household register and take a look." Zhiyao said.
It's impossible for Uncle Jian to personally introduce it!
However, Uncle Jian didn't want to hand over the scroll and asked loudly: "Is Uncle Zhi surrendering?"
This made Zhiyao even more curious and expectant.
If there really is a murder weapon hidden in the scroll, things will get very interesting!
At Zhiyao's signal, the warriors in the tent controlled Uncle Jian, and the scroll was untied. The dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground was so special.
What is that thing? It's not a dagger or a table knife. It looks like a spear head or an awl.
this……
Zhiyao stared at it with wide eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing "hahaha".
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Zhiyao thought it was an awl. She didn't expect that she would be treated like the First Emperor. Someone wanted to kill her with the awl.
When Uncle Jian saw what had happened, he shouted loudly: "My lord does not know about this, but it was done by Uncle Jian alone!"
Therefore, the intention to assassinate is true, but the script does not go as expected by Uncle Jian.
It was also found out what was going on at the back of the scroll. It was a map of mountains and rivers and a household register, which were correct, but they were not the real maps of mountains and rivers or household registers of the Wei family at all.
Zhiyao gestured with her hand to pull Jian Bo out and deal with it.
Is Wei planning to assassinate Zhiyao again?
Even if Uncle Jian didn't bring the scroll hiding the murder weapon, his arrival alone would give Zhishi a lot of room for maneuver.
For example, Uncle Jian did not intend to assassinate, and he could have caused an assassination attempt.
However, if Uncle Jian really wants to assassinate him, things will be easier to handle.
After all, what is fake is just fake. How can it be justified when it is true?
Soon, the news that the Wei clan failed to assassinate Zhiyao again was conveyed to the entire army. At the same time, Shi Bo's head was also brought to the "Wei" city by Zhi clan's cavalry.
After hearing the news, everyone in the Zhi family was naturally filled with indignation and rage, and wished they could attack the city immediately.
However, it was impossible for Zhiyao to rashly issue an order to attack the city before preparations were made.
The Zhi soldier who carried Jian Bo's head showed it to the city wall and loudly stated that the Wei family had assassinated him again, cursed him so many times that he could hardly remember the fake surrender, and other despicable things.
Deeds.
Weiss was on top of the city. When he saw Uncle Jian's head and heard those words, there was genuine astonishment on his face.
So that means that Uncle Jian's assassination was not ordered by Weiss?
In fact, regardless of whether it was Weiss's instruction or not, there is almost no difference in the situation. It will definitely be recognized by Zhishi and others as one of Weiss' actions.
Of course, Uncle Jian's actions this time carry too many uncertainties and mysteries. Maybe one day he will have a place in "The Legend of the Loyalty"?
"Stupid...extremely stupid!" Weiss felt too tired.
After all, Weiss is only seventeen years old now. He still takes over the position of head of the family in a hurry. Don't expect to have too much control over the family all at once.
There was no time for Weiss to take his time. Many of Wei's recent actions were not issued by Weiss. More than 60% of them were done by the local leaders on their own.
Arming young men and committing suicide along the way to block the invasion of the Zhi family or other families, the order came from Weis himself, but if it could be passed and implemented, it was just that most people in the Wei family were crazy.
In other words, there are too many smart people who know that it is difficult to get through this hurdle, and they are a kind of "no hesitation" in despair, right?
The repeated false surrenders were also ordered by Weis, in order to delay as much time as possible, and secondly, to make the Zhi family distrust those Wei people who really wanted to surrender.
It was Weiss's idea to send a strong enough army to attack the Han clan, which was considered a desperate attempt to survive.
At present, the Wei family has crossed the Huishui River and has entered the offensive stage as expected?
"It's a pity that we couldn't hold back the Zhishi army for three months or more." Weiss felt a chill on his forehead. Not long after he stopped, snowflakes reappeared in front of his eyes.
Snow? The Zhi family actually ignored the winter and marched in the snow to the outskirts of "Wei" city. Doesn't this show Zhi Yao's determination to destroy the Wei family as soon as possible?
Before, Weiss had wanted to make the Han family surrender during the winter, regardless of non-combat casualties. With the Zhi family also ignoring the winter, although the plan was not entirely in vain, the hope became very slim.
Weiss was looking at the Zhishi cavalry outside the city.
These cavalrymen did not look bloated in their clothes, white mist came out of their mouths when shouting, and they had a cloak on their backs that was not seen in other seasons.
To be honest, the biggest use of the cloak is to provide warmth when it is cold, and it also has the effect of preventing arrows when dancing. The rest will become a burden more often.
Of course, Zhishi has winter uniforms, but the thermal insulation effect is really average. The biggest cost in winter operations is wood.
For example, there are bonfires everywhere in the camp, and soldiers who are not on duty can gather around the bonfires to keep warm.
Wearing clothes to keep warm? At most, just wear a few layers, don’t even think about down jackets, cotton clothes, etc.
It's not that Zhishi can't make down jackets now. It's okay to make a small amount, but it doesn't have the ability to make a large amount.
As for cotton clothes? There is currently no cotton in the land of Zhuxia. Where can we get any cotton to make warm clothes?
In addition to wearing two extra layers of clothes, all Zhishi can provide the soldiers is a blanket to wrap them up when there is no mission, and to cover them with an extra layer when sleeping.
Adding a cape to the cavalry is a planned addition. Currently, the cavalry is a hit-and-run unit. A cape that can fly in the wind can block arrows shot from behind.
The Zhi cavalry who showed off their power left, leaving behind a large number of Wei soldiers who looked at each other.
The person who came from the Zhi family just now made it very clear that the Wei family once again assassinated Zhiyao, and it was just a success. The lack of success really made some people of the Wei family feel ashamed.
After the Wei family repeatedly refuted the rumors, they still didn't believe that the Wei family had assassinated the Zhi family and his son. Today it happened again, and the Zhi family showed off the head of the Wei family retainer Jian Bo, so it was hard not to believe it.
.
Weiss put her hand to cover her forehead, knowing that she would have to wash the floor again.
Land washing was only a basic operation. Weiss believed that what was more important was to spread some rumors about the Zhi clan, such as that the day the city was broken would be the day the city was massacred, or that once the city was broken, the survivors would be beaten into slaves.
Here again proves the fact that even though Weiss is only seventeen years old, he is still relatively mature in terms of political wisdom.
Now, Wei really should try his best to promote Zhi's negative information, and if it is true, it should be promoted infinitely. More false information should be fabricated, in order to make everyone afraid, so scared that they will hysterically resist Zhi.
The Zhishi army had just arrived, but they did not immediately launch an attack on the city.
Not surprisingly, the woods around the city were once again in bad luck.
With the operation of "Xinzheng", the Wei family did not follow suit and left the woods on the edge of the city for the Zhi family to use?
It's not that Weis doesn't know what's going on in "Xinzheng", the reality is that Weis has too many things to do, and setting fires in winter is just too difficult!
The Zhi clan stationed on the outskirts of "Wei" city spent nearly half a month adding siege equipment. During this period, they had to deal with some of the Wei clan troops coming out of the city and those already outside the city.
The original thing is that a commander with no tricks in his mind will never move all his troops into the city. On the contrary, he will leave many troops outside the city, otherwise he will be trapped in an isolated city.
In the past half month, there were seven more towering siege towers in Zhi's camp. Adding those that were brought in with great pains, the total number reached twenty-eight siege towers.
The rest of the smaller siege equipment can not be seen from the top of the city, but what can be seen is the barracks that stretch for nearly twenty miles.
After the weather returned to clear weather, Weiss found that the Zhishi auxiliary troops outside the city were dispatched in large numbers to clear the snow on the attack route. He knew that the time for the Zhishi to launch an siege was getting closer and closer.
Of course Weiss would not just watch as the Zhi family's auxiliary troops cleared the snow and sent troops out of the city to interfere, which turned into a small-scale battle between small groups of troops from both sides under the watchful eyes of an unknown number of people.
It's not like the Zhishi side never thought about seizing the city gate while it was open. The two sides went through several contests, and each time the Zhishi side suffered a loss, but they still happily tried again and again.
"Zhiyao..." What did Weiss find? Even though the distance was a bit far, he could still recognize Zhiyao standing on the carriage of the nest chariot in front of the Zhi clan's camp.
This is of course not the first time Weiss has met Zhiyao.
Before the Wei family and the Zhi family fell out, they visited each other more frequently, and most of their children who were friends with each other were hugged.
Zhiyao also saw Weiss, but didn't pay attention at first. Later, it could be said that it was intuition or something. Anyway, she recognized that the man standing alone at the top of the city was Weiss.
"You look lonely? Is it because you have become a puppet, or is it a problem with your state of mind." Zhiyao doesn't have much curiosity, she just has some feelings.
