Chapter 574 The Green Shadow
It is said that Zhao Yun inspected the city defense of Hefei and was very pleased to see that the three armies were serving their lives and the people were supporting him. The four-door suspension bridge was raised again and the water in the moat was turbulent. The war was about to begin, dark clouds were gathering, and Zhao Yun was already prepared to shed blood. If the city was defeated, Cao Cao would definitely massacre the good people, and he would die to protect these people who loved the Qinglong Army.
Zhao Yun felt a little relieved when he remembered that there were still two senior Wei officials imprisoned in the city. When necessary, he had no choice but to exchange the lives of Cao Ang and Xiahou Ba for the lives of the people throughout the process. Zhao Yun led his entourage and walked into the small courtyard where Cao Ang was imprisoned. He saw the divine brown war horse at a glance.
There were several horse bags hanging under the saddle of the war horse. After Cao Ang's sword was captured, he randomly inserted it into the horse bag and pulled the horse together to this yard for preservation. After all, there were many guards here so it was very safe, and Zhao Yun didn't have time to look at the seized items. Zhao Yun saw that the scabbard was simple and elegant, glowing with a dark metallic luster. He pressed the spring and pulled the sword. He only heard a dragon's roar in his ears, the metal trembled and whistled for a long time, and the bright sword shadow moved like a folding fan. Opening the sky, the guard behind him shouted: "What a sword!"
This was Zhao Yun's first time to appreciate Cao Ang's sword up close. When he fought with Cao Ang, he just felt that the sword was very sharp and expected to be a good sword. The hilt of this sword is old, yellow and black in color, but has distinct ripples, making it suitable for precise attacks. Under the low-key hilt guard, the high-quality bright steel sword body is thickly bulged, and both sides are polished to be very sharp. The middle of the sword body begins to narrow, and the blood groove begins to deepen. You can imagine that the moment the sword body is inserted into the enemy's body, the blood will flow. Flowing out. The tip of the sword is extremely bright, and it seems to be a little gilded, or plated with a little platinum, but the hardness of the alloy has not been reduced at all. A thin cyan dragon pattern appears. It is not known which mineral element was added during the forging, or Got some destiny.
Zhao Yun couldn't help but smile. This sword was suitable for his lord. If he meets his lord next time, he should offer it to Chen Long as a matching sword. Turning over the sword, he saw two small seal characters engraved on the tang at the joint between the hilt and the sword body. Zhao Yun was a hero with all-round talents in both civil and military affairs. He recognized these two gold-embedded small seal characters as "青魭".
If Chen Long were by Zhao Yun's side, I'm afraid there would be huge waves in his heart again. The name of the Qingzhi Sword is as loud as thunder. In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Zhao Zilong relied on it to establish an unparalleled reputation. He killed seven out and seven out at Changban Slope and became the god of war.
Cao Cao had two swords: one was the "Yitian Sword" and the other was the "Qing Zhi". They were both called peerless swords at the time. Cao Cao wore the Yitian Sword himself, and the Qingzhi Sword was given to his favorite eldest son, Cao Ang, to wear. Cao Ang has received careful training since he was a child, and he can be described as a versatile man in both civil and military affairs. The teaching teachers changed one after another. The great Confucians Wang Can, Ruan Yu, Lu Cui, Xu Qian, Ying Jun, Liu Zhen, etc. came and went from the Cao family like a revolving lantern. However, the one who was most closely related to Cao Ang was Huan Fan Huan Yuanze, a famous scholar from Pei State. and Wang Xibo, a famous scholar in Hanoi. The teacher who teaches swordsmanship is none other than the long-lost great swordsman Wei Zijing.
Huan Fan, whose courtesy name was Yuan Ze, was a native of Longkang, Pei State. During the Three Kingdoms period, he was a minister, writer and painter of Cao and Wei. In the last years of Jian'an, he entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and co-authored "Huang Lan" with Wang Xiang and others. In the first year of Yankang (AD 220), he became the left prisoner of Yulin. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, he successively served as the leader of the army, the minister, the general of Zhenglu, the general of Dongzhonglang, and the governor of Yanzhou. During the Zhengshi period, he was promoted to Chief Agriculture Officer and made suggestions for Cao Shuang. He was known as the "think tank". After the Gaoping Ling Incident broke out, he urged Cao Shuang to take Wei Emperor Cao Fang to Xuchang, but Cao Shuang refused to listen. After the Gaoping Ling coup, he, Cao Shuang and his gang members were all executed by Sima Yi. He wrote twelve volumes of "Shi Yao Lun", or "Huan Fan's New Book".
Wang Xiang, courtesy name Xibo, was a native of Huai County, Hanoi County. During the Three Kingdoms period, he was a minister, bibliographer and bibliophile of the Wei State. Wang Xiang was lonely and poor when he was young, but his literary talent was gentle and elegant, and he was praised by the prefect Yang Jun. After Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, he was appointed as the regular attendant and secretary of Sanqi, and was granted the title of marquis. He was ordered to write the "Huang Lan". The collection started in the first year of Yankang and was completed over several years. It is hidden in the Secret Mansion and consists of more than 40 volumes. Each volume contains dozens of chapters, totaling more than 8 million words. Wang Xiang was a humble and kind man, and the capital was beautiful, so he was called Confucian. He wrote a volume of collected works, which has been lost to this day, and only the article "Recommending Yang Jun" remains. "Wei Lue" says: Among the new ones, only Wang Xiang is the best.
Although the sons of the Cao family have different personalities, they are all excellent. Cao Ang was assisted by Huan Fan and Wang Xiang, and Cao Pi hung out with Sima Yi and Wu Zhi all day long. However, the most outstanding Cao Zhi fell in love with Yang Xiu, Yang Dezu, the son of Yang Biao, the great Han Taiwei, and Handan Chun, a famous scholar in Yingchuan. The three most outstanding sons of the Cao family have each gathered a group of their own staff. Although the inheritance of the Cao family's foundation has not yet been put on the agenda, there has been an undercurrent surging for a long time.
Zhao Yun held the green sword in his hand and waved the guard to retreat. He made a mistake with his fist and sword and used a set of dense and graceful sword techniques. The sword light flowed like a trickle, sword flowers appeared around it, and the green air flow surrounded the sword flowers. It was like the threads connecting the sword flowers, forming layers of mysterious and ever-changing ripples, slowly swinging out with Zhao Yun as the center, and dispersed into the air. Suddenly a ball of dazzling white light burst out from the silk thread, but it was Zhao Yun who activated his internal energy. The green sword immediately glowed brightly, and the thin ripples immediately turned into wild waves and danced. The sword energy shot out like a sea wave, and the guards suddenly dispersed, They couldn't bear the Qingzhi sword energy and fled one after another.
Zhao Yun hurriedly put away his inner strength and looked at Qingzhijian with an ecstatic expression. This sword actually has the effect of stimulating internal energy. It can be said to be the best in the world. Unexpectedly, Cao Angkong had such a peerless sword, but his kung fu was not good enough, and he was subdued by Zhao Yun's saber in one move. From then on, Qingzhijian temporarily followed Zhao Zilong, and he finally found his master. But in Zilong's heart, he wanted to dedicate this sword to his lord.
Zhao Yun looked at it for a long time, finally returned the sword to its sheath, held it in his hand and pushed open the door. Cao Ang, the eldest son of the Wei Dynasty, was under house arrest inside. Cao Ang, who was half lying on the hard bed, turned over and stood up, looking at Zhao Yun blankly, his eyes full of stubbornness and fear.
Zhao Yun grinned, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cao! Don't panic. My lord never kills prisoners, so your life is safe. The name of your sword is Qingzhi, and what is the name of your horse?"
Cao Ang didn't expect that Zhao Yun, with a smile as bright as a flower and a face as bright as a spring breeze, would ramble on and on and said irrelevant things, so he couldn't help but blurt out: "Jueying!"
Zhao Yun seemed to have never heard of Jueying's name, but the horse was so handsome that he still praised softly: "Jueying, what a good name! A good name goes with a good horse, just like a good horse goes with a good saddle."
Although Zhao Yun said it in an understatement, if Chen Long was beside Zhao Yun and heard the word Jueying, he would probably be no less happy than getting the Qingzhi Sword. Among the top ten famous horses in the Three Kingdoms, Jueying's ranking is especially higher than Chen Long's Claw Huang Feidian.
