The north wind is howling and the flags are flying. ""
The black army approached the city. The blade pointed at the sky, emitting a frightening cold light. The neat queues formed a square formation.
Although it was as silent as water, the coercion and evil energy that was condensed without sound was like substance, soaring straight into the sky, making the people on the city wall unable to breathe.
Duan Peng was riding on a horse, holding a sharp hook and sickle gun in one hand, walking back in front of the formation. From time to time, he raised his binoculars and looked towards the city wall. When he saw the rebels on the wall, their faces were pale and their whole bodies were trembling.
.The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a hint of sneer and disdain.
"General, general!" At this time, the orderly soldiers behind him hurried over, with joyful faces, riding horses all the way, shouting Duan Pengdao.
"What's the matter?" Duan Peng put down his telescope, turned his head and looked at the messenger.
"The military advisor asked you to go back to the Central Army, saying that we have something important to discuss!" the ordering soldier licked his lips and said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll go right away!" Duan Peng nodded, and then said to Ma San, who was holding two axes and looking like an iron tower: "Watch it, I'll do it!"
Hearing this, Ma San looked greedily at the telescope in Duan Peng's hand, nodded hurriedly, without raising his head, and waved his hands: "Boss, just go with peace of mind, am I here?"
I have long been fascinated by the General's magical clairvoyance, but I didn't expect to be able to see the whole thing today.
After Duan Peng heard this, he became furious. He glared and cursed: "Hey, do you know how to speak human language? I'll let you go, what the hell is this nonsense!"
He smashed the telescope on Ma San's head: "Take it, let me take a good look at it. If a fly escapes, I will castrate you!"
After that, Duan Peng rode away with Dada.
"Ah?" Ma San was dumbfounded. He held the telescope in his hand and felt a chill in his heart.
Not even a fly can fly out?
this……
OMG!
Ma San suddenly felt as if he were mourning for his heir, and stayed where he was with his head downcast.
"General Ma!" At this time, a small soldier next to him came over, turned his head and took a look, and saw that General Duan had left. ""The soldier smiled and said: "General Ma, Boss Duan is teasing you.
!”
"What do you mean by this?" Ma Sanbiao was stunned for a moment and asked stupidly.
"General, where did the flies come from in this cold weather? Tell me, is Boss Duan kidding you?" The soldier laughed and winked.
"Oh!" Ma San suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on his dark face.
Turning around, he raised his big hand like a cattail leaf fan, patted the soldier on the shoulder, and laughed loudly: "Wow, why didn't I think of that? Haha, you are still smart!"
The soldier, who was slightly thin, fell to the ground immediately after being struck by Ma San's slap. He rubbed his shoulders and looked at Ma San resentfully.
Ma San, on the other hand, had long forgotten the worries he had just felt. He happily raised his telescope and began to detect the movement on the wall in front of him.
The Chinese army camp is dimly lit.
The charcoal fire in the brazier was burning brightly, but the oppressive cold air penetrated through the gaps in the tent and was still unstoppable.
Outside, the cold wind was blowing. The hanging tent curtain was shaking slightly. Through the gap, you could vaguely see the freezing northern scenery outside, as well as the dazzling sunshine.
The wind blew in, and the charcoal fire in the brazier shook violently.
There was silence in the tent. The atmosphere was a bit depressing and made people breathless.
In front of the desk, Prince Zheng Xiaowu, who was already the Crown Prince, was still standing there nervously, with his head lowered. Occasionally he raised his head and took a peek at Lu Heng, his eyes full of fear.
"Teacher, I...!" Xiao Wu lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Tell me, why do you think those soldiers who surrendered should be punished?" Lu Heng had never shown such seriousness as he did today. At this time, he looked at him quietly and asked lightly.
"They..." Xiao Wu muttered, but after seeing the stern look in his master's eyes and feeling timid, he didn't dare to say anything.
"Do you think they are rebellious?" Lu Heng put down the memorial in his hand, raised his head, looked at him, and asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, yes!" Xiao Wu gritted his teeth, nodded and admitted. (""7*
Hearing this, Lu Heng glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and sighed.
Agui on the side looked at the young master and then at the future emperor. He chuckled. He thought to himself, the young master is really awesome. He trained the future emperor so hard that he didn't even dare to raise his head. He is really awesome!
However, he also knew that the young master cared for King Zheng very much, and King Zheng also had great respect for the young master. Therefore, although it was said to be a reprimand, on the one hand, it was not a matter of preaching, teaching, and solving doubts.
Lu Heng stood up, took the robe from Ouyang Ruolan, put it on, and walked up to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu!" Lu Heng looked at Xiao Wu with his head lowered in front of him and said calmly: "Raise your head!"
"Teacher!" Xiao Wu Yiyan raised his head, glanced at Lu Heng, and quickly lowered his head, but still did not dare to look at Lu Heng.
"Come on, come with me for a walk!" Lu Heng glanced at him and smiled slightly when he saw him like this. He took the cloak handed over by Ouyang Ruolan, put it on, and walked out of the tent first.
go.
Behind him, Xiao Wu followed step by step.
As soon as I walked out of the tent door, a cold wind suddenly hit me face to face with hard snow particles.
Under the clear sky, the mountains and rivers are picturesque. The white snow decorates the world into a blanket of silver. In front of you, the ancient Taiyuan City, amidst this white snow, is solemn and peaceful.
Lu Heng raised his hand and pointed at his own army in front. He said, "Look, these armies. What do you think they are?"
Turning his head and looking at Xiao Wu, seeing a look of confusion in his eyes, Lu Heng thought for a while, changed his approach and asked: "In other words, what do you think the responsibilities of soldiers are? They are in the country.
What kind of status?"
"Soldiers..." Xiao Wu heard this, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, soldiers should be the weapon to protect the country from foreign aggression, the shield of the country!"
Lu Heng once told him this. Unexpectedly, this smart little guy actually took it out at this time.
Hearing this, Lu Heng's complexion became slightly better. He stretched out his hand, pressed Xiao Wu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Do you agree with this sentence?"
"Yes, teacher!" Xiao Wu nodded and said with firm eyes: "Grandpa Huang also told his disciples that this is a golden saying!"
Lu Heng smiled, looked far away, looked at the army solemnly in front of the formation, and asked lightly: "Since the army is the weapon of the country. In other words, the army is an extremely sharp sword! Right?".
"Yes!" Xiao Wu nodded and recalled: "Teacher, you once said that the army is a sword in the hands of the ruler, used to maintain the unity of the country and defend against foreign enemies. The students always remember it! And!
, and keep this statement in mind as truth!”
"Since you remember, let me ask you. If the army is compared to a peerless sword, then the situation between your grandfather and your uncle Jin is like two people trying to seize the country.
This is a precious treasure, and someone who is willing to fight to the death, regardless of life, is that right?" Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at him, and asked lightly.
"Yes!" Xiao Wu nodded again, and then added through gritted teeth: "Rebellious ministers and traitors, who have abandoned their ancestors and China, dare to expect the most important weapon of the country. How ridiculous!"
Lu Heng didn't care about Xiao Wu's understanding. After hearing this, he just smiled. He was secretly amused in his heart. The old emperor really spared no effort in instilling the emperor's mind into Xiao Wu.
"Then since you agree with this point of view, let me ask you. Since it is a fight for one's life, someone will always be injured, or die because of it, and even innocent others will be harmed. Whose fault do you think this is?" Lu Heng slowly said
When he spoke, his tone was extremely calm.
"It was King Jin's fault. If it hadn't been for him, the country would not have caused this catastrophe, and the people would be healthy and happy! Not to mention that innocent people would not be killed, injured, or forced to leave their homes!" Xiao Wu clenched his fists, his face flushed. He looked at that
Taiyuan City in the distance said angrily.
"Ha... If that's the case, then why do you blame the disaster of the war on a weapon, on this sword? Isn't it ridiculous?" Lu Heng saw that the opportunity was almost there, smiled, and then changed the subject again.
Pulled back to the original point.
Seeing Xiao Wu lowering his head and thinking, the look in his eyes gradually brightened. Lu Heng also knew that he understood what he said and was convinced of the meaning of his words.
"Two people fight for their lives, no matter who is right or wrong, who lives or dies. There is no wrong weapon." Lu Heng stretched out his hand and pressed Xiao Wu's shoulder, stared at him with stern eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Wrong.
Just people who are mastering weapons!"
"Teacher, teach me!" Xiao Wu looked solemn when he heard the words. He took a step back and bowed his hands in salute: "Disciple, please keep this in mind!"
Lu Heng smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he should not be too polite. He put his hands behind his back and looked at the beautiful mountains and rivers of the North Country in the distance: "Do you still remember what I told you before when I was in Baoding Mansion?"
"Yes!" Xiao Wu nodded and said, "Teacher, you said that a king should be broad-minded and not narrow-minded!"
Lu Heng nodded: "Yes. And, there is another sentence. A good emperor is a swordsman who has reached the realm of martial arts."
"Swordsman?" This was the first time Xiao Wu heard his teacher commenting on an emperor like this. He was curious and asked quickly: "Teacher, can you help your disciple clear up his doubts?"
"A good swordsman serves the country and the people! He has the world in his heart and thinks about benefiting the people. This is the highest state of a swordsman. There are countless swordsmen in the world, but among the tens of thousands of swordsmen, only the emperor can reach this state.
!Only the emperor has such means and abilities!" Lu Heng smiled, turned his head and looked at Xiao Wudao: "Be brave and fearless, and have the world in mind. This is what the future peerless swordsman will do!"
"Ha..." Seeing Xiao Wu thinking about his words, Lu Heng smiled and said lightly: "Of course, since he is a swordsman, he must be addicted to swords as much as his life. So, what about you, the future peerless swordsman.
At this time, this rebel is just an ownerless sword, don’t you want to keep this sword in your pocket?”
"Disciple!" Xiao Wu's heart was shocked, his eyes lit up, he nodded excitedly, and said eagerly: "Think about it, think about it! Teacher, I understand, I finally understand!"
Seeing the joy on Xiao Wu's face, Lu Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, waved his hand and said: "Now that you understand, then you can go to Jinzhou. The ownerless sword is waiting for you there. But
Don’t let anyone snatch it away. If that’s the case, passing by this peerless sword will be a lifelong regret for you as a swordsman!”
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Wu couldn't hold back the ecstasy in his heart. He looked at Lu Heng and nodded hurriedly: "I'll go right away!"
"Don't forget to find a good scabbard for this peerless sword!" Lu Heng warned him, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go!"
"Yes!" Of course Xiao Wu knew what the teacher meant by the scabbard. It was nothing more than a name.
As the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, I went to recruit these iron-blooded warriors and named them the Fifth Legion of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Such a name, such treatment, and such a scabbard should be enough to be worthy of this peerless sword.
Bar!
Xiao Wu was ecstatic in his heart, as if he had already seen that this peerless sword was already in his hands, shining with the cold light of many gods.
"Hey, swordsman!"
Xiao Wu got on his horse, smiled, raised his whip and flicked it hard.
With a snap, the whip sounded in the air.
The war horse under his crotch neighed and galloped away like a bolt of black lightning.
Behind him, hundreds of imperial guards surrounded His Royal Highness and galloped towards Jinzhou.
