Chapter 407 Wen Shu tests the sword
It is said that before Chen Long went undercover from the Nanlin Sword Sect, he had no plan left. He had already made arrangements. Lu Chang had already led a dozen special forces members to lurk in the dense forests of Zhongnan Mountain, and established several monitoring points in accordance with the practice of the special forces. The monitoring point had long observed the movements of Qiu Jian and Liu Jiannan. After Chen Long arranged it, Lu Changzi sent people to track Qiu and Liu.
With the control of the Qinglong Army's special forces, it was only a matter of time before the mastermind behind the Nanlin Sword Sect's involvement in the conspiracy surfaced. The only thing Chen Long was not sure about was that the sword master and his subordinates did not seem to be united. First of all, the sword master and Qu Shuai have a lot of power, and the sword master seems to be out of control with several major swordsmen. Secondly, the Nanlin Sword Sect claims to be a civilian gang and treats its members well, but it seems that the moral character of the sword master and Qu Shuai is disappointing. Dare to compliment, there must be an unknown reason behind it. In other words, the Nanlin Sword Sect has both kind-hearted orphans like Zhou Mi and vicious-minded Qu Shuai like Qiu Jian. This in itself is a kind of disunity and division.
Chen Long aims to unify the world and eliminate killings. Of course, his biggest enemies are all the people in power and warlords now, but what is more, it is a duel between armies with real swords and guns, a confrontation between forces to conquer the city, and the ingenious schemes between the military advisers. However, behind the scenes, there are conflicts between various forces, endless alliances, and endless conspiracies, which are difficult to guard against. Cao Cao was definitely not the only one behind this beheading of himself.
It is precisely to prevent such "beheading operations" that Cao Cao in the official history will promote his dream of killing people to make people afraid to get close. Because of this, he was thinking too hard and overusing his brain, and he suffered from a severe headache. It should be said that Cao Cao was unparalleled in terms of his talents and military skills, but he was also cruel to the people around him. The only time in his life he was deceived by Sima Yi, and finally he was taken over by Sima.
Chen Long sighed in his heart. If he hadn't been familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms before traveling through time, and had a brain to help him, he might not have been a match for super strategists like Jia Xu and Cheng Yu. I hope that these independent generals under my command will not be instigated by others and raise unnecessary ambitions. In this regard, I still trust military commander-level cadres such as Ma Chao, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Zhang He, and Guan Yu, and at the same time assigned them some of the more loyal military advisors in official history. Only Jia Xu himself could not figure it out for the moment, but As long as he has an advantage, Jia Xu will not be stupid enough to cause trouble behind his back.
At this time, Zhou Mi's voice brought Chen Long's thoughts back to reality. Her beautiful voice came from the side: "Zhou Mi has seen the Second Swordsman!"
Chen Long was standing behind Zhou Mi at this time, looking at the visiting second swordsman. The Second Swordsman Wen Shu, whose nickname is Wang Chang, is only twenty-seven or eighty years old at this time. He has a face with a Chinese character, a black beard that covers his mouth, and clear and reserved eyes, which are the hallmarks of a Qi practitioner. A gray-yellow scabbard was tied to the left waist, revealing a strange hilt with a large ring at the tip, which looked more like the hilt of a ringed sword. The center of gravity of this kind of sword will be closer to the hilt, and it generally feels a little heavier in the hand. It requires the swordsman's wrist to be very strong, but the change of the sword tip will be very strange.
Chen Long stared at this famous general in the middle and late period of Cao Wei in official history, and quickly came up with information in his mind. Wang Chang, courtesy name Wenshu, was born in Jinyang, Taiyuan, Bingzhou, and was a descendant of the famous Taiyuan Wang family. When Wang Chang was young, he served Wang Ling, a famous person in the same county, as his brother. Before Cao Pi became emperor, Sima Yi recommended Wang Chang to Cao Cao, and he was promoted to the rank of prince. The people who had previously served as Cao Pi's crown prince and concubine were Sima Yi. Wang Chang's official career was smooth. Before Cao Rui came to the throne, he had been appointed as the governor of Yanzhou. His brother Wang Ling was also a high-ranking local official.
In the early days of Cao Wei, the scope of talent selection was very wide. There were disciples from poor families like Wang Ji, as well as disciples from famous families like Wang Ling and Wang Chang. After all, it was easier to be promoted than those from poor families.
Most of the generals in the middle and late period of the Cao Wei Dynasty were recruited by scholars from all over the country for trial, and then their talents were evaluated, and then they were promoted to governors, governors, and generals. Therefore, these generals had no military achievements before this. However, it did not hinder the general's military quality. Before leading the troops to go to war, Wang Chang wrote more than ten chapters of military books, describing the usefulness of magic and correctness. Most of Cao Cao's generals were limited in their cultural level, so Cao Cao had to simplify the principles of military art and teach them to his generals. People who can write military books must attract attention in contemporary times. Wang Chang was soon moved to the post of General Zhengnan, Chijie, and Commander-in-Chief of the military affairs of Jingzhou and Yuzhou. Cao Ren only obtained this position after following Cao Cao for many years in the past.
Since he was from the famous Wang family, Chen Long naturally thought of the swordsman Wang Yue and Situ Wang Yun, both of whom were leaders of the living Wang family. Now Wang Chang's sudden visit happened just after Zijing had no choice but to hand over power. The timing is very sensitive. Does Wang Chang's visit have anything to do with Zijing or Qiu Jian?
Thinking of this, the first thing Chen Long wanted to know was how much Wang Chang knew about him becoming the acting first swordsman. Seeing Zhou Mi turn sideways and let him in front of her, knowing that she was about to introduce herself to Wen Shu, she coughed quickly and stopped Zhou Mi with her eyes. Zhou Mi stretched out his hand. Suddenly he saw Chen Long's eyes and reacted quickly. He put his hand in front of Chen Long and said nothing, making a gesture of invitation.
Chen Long's intention, of course, was to wait for Wang Chang to speak first so that he could judge what the other party's intention was. Sure enough, because Zhou Mi didn't say anything, Wang Chang spoke first: "Zhou Mi, I heard that a brother and sister named Zhen are here. They are making a big fuss. Where is the great swordsman Zijing?"
One sentence proved that Wang Chang did not know Chen Long, but he knew clearly what happened at the first sword side. This means that Qiu Jian and Liu Jiannan had already gone to the second sword side to tell Wang Chang what happened here. . This shows that the first sword party and the second sword party are closely related, and Zijing and Wang Chang are very likely to wear the same pair of trousers. And if Wen Shu is really Wang Chang and an important member of the Wang family, then are Wang Yun and Wang Yue behind the scenes?
If Wang Chang knew that Chen Long could judge so many situations in an instant, he would definitely regret it. Originally, his real name was Wang Chang, and only the sword master knew it. Who would have thought that the Wang family was behind Wen Shu? Unexpectedly, Chen Long was omnipotent and knew that he was Wang Chang.
Zhou Mi didn't know how to answer and was a little embarrassed. At this time, Chen Long took the initiative and said: "Sword Master Wen Shu, I am Zhen Dong, and now I am the acting great sword master of the first sword party." He looked at Wang Chang hotly, trying to see if he could arouse Wang Chang's anger.
Wang Chang's expression remained unchanged, and he was indeed very steady. After looking at Chen Long for a few times, he said: "So it's you. Qiu Jian said that you are arrogant and domineering, which is indeed a bit rude." After that, he shook his head and said: "Acting great swordsman? Did the sword master agree? I am here to be Hezi. I made an appointment with Jing to go visit the sword master together."
Chen Long understands that this is called asking for excuses. Once the two great swordsmen Zijing and Wenshu join forces to put pressure, the sword master may intervene in his acting as the great swordsman. However, his purpose was to stir up the storm and see what kind of scum were behind the scenes, so he shrugged nonchalantly and said, "The great swordsman Zijing should be in the thatched cottage behind the palace!"
Wang Chang originally thought that Chen Long would be angry and stop him from seeing Zijing, but Chen Long didn't care, which was a bit unexpected. After thinking for a while, Wang Chang suddenly said: "Although this sword master is here to find Zijing, I am addicted to swords as much as my life. I love talents most. I also want to see how strong the Zhen brothers are and how capable they are of great ability." The position of swordsman. The great swordsman of our sect has always been awarded to the strong. It is better to choose the day than to hit it. Today, I will try the swordsmanship of the Zhen family brothers." He flicked his thumb and wiped the sword around his waist. He stood up from the sheath with a loud sound, and his tone was unmistakable.
Chen Long chuckled and said: "The second sword master wants to test the sword, how dare you not obey? But I don't know what the second sword master wants to test?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
