Seeing everyone's expressions, Li Chuan knew that this sword probably had some background. It seemed that Li Er did trust him this time.
However, he would ask Cheng Yaojin on the way.
He immediately put the Sword of the King of Qin on his waist and bowed slightly."Thank you, Your Highness. As you wish."
"Great General Cheng Zhijie of the Right Military Guard, Wang Hongsheng, Gao Wencheng, Min Haolan, and Chen Ping of the Heavenly Policy Manor, I order you to guard Li Chuan, the lookout envoy of Youzhou.”Li Chuan looked at Cheng Yaojin and the guards and said loudly.
"We will not fail you." Everyone replied in unison.
"Let's go and return quickly." Li Er nodded and waved his hand.
Soon after, the light cavalry of more than a thousand people headed west. The big flag with the word " Li " was in front of them. The large group of people and horses were majestic, and the dust raised by the hooves covered the clouds and the sun.
They traveled for dozens of miles in the morning. At noon, the team rested in a valley.
The soldiers brought the warhorses to drink water. Li Chuan, Cheng Yaojin, and a few bodyguards sat together.
"Old Cheng, I know this messenger. Why did His Highness give me the Qin Emperor Sword?”Li Chuan took off his sword and asked curiously.
Guanyin was an official set up in the early Tang Dynasty to patrol the various places. In short, he was the representative of the heavens to patrol and inspect the various places of the Great Tang. He was also known as the "imperial envoy" in later generations.
Thinking of this, Li Chuan regarded the Sword of the King of Qin as the " Imperial Sword ", but there was no record of it in historical records.
"Hehe, Young Master Li Chuan, oh no, Lord Observer, this Qin Wang Sword is very powerful.”Cheng Yaojin stared at the sword in Li Chuan's hand and said with a fascinated look,
"The Sword of the King of Qin can be used to kill kings as if they were mobs and corrupt officials. The sword doesn't need to be unsheathed. This is how the Sword of the King of Qin is used in Luoyang.”
As soon as he said that, Li Chuan immediately felt the weight of the sword at his waist. It was indeed a little awesome.
Even if it was the imperial sword, it still had to be reported first. This Qin King's sword did not even need to report to the higher-ups to kill a Regional King. It seemed that the difference was obvious.
He also understood that Li Er really trusted him.
"A sword can kill without being unsheathed?" Li Chuan asked.
"Of course. On this trip to Youzhou, I met the Lord of Lujiang Prefecture and the Governor of Youzhou. If the Observer finds an excuse to kill him with the Sword of the King of Qin, he will have to obediently send his head over.”Cheng Yaojin said seriously.
"I see." Li Chuan nodded. It seemed that the saying of " a higher rank can crush a person " was not an exaggeration.
However, this was a normal situation. If the other party really rebelled, then it would be different.
"Lord Observer, I haven't seen your Han Dynasty long painting for two days. I didn't sleep well last night. Why don't you tell us a paragraph while we still have some time to rest?”Cheng Yaojin asked anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan couldn't help but smile. In fact, the storytelling version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was much more exciting than the comic version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Yes, Lord Observer, your long painting has been circulated in the army. I wonder how many people it has attracted?”
"Not only in the army, I heard that there were already people selling Han Dynasty long paintings in the market yesterday.”
"In the army, when we were resting, we could hear the names 'Guan Yunzhang' and 'Zhang Yide' wherever we went.”
“......”
Several guards echoed in agreement. They did not expect that the story of the war during the Three Kingdoms era would be so attractive to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, this was also because Romance of the Three Kingdoms was an excellent work that had been revised many times. It would still attract countless people after more than a thousand years.
"Lord regional governor, tell us, is Guan Yunzhang or Zhang Yide good at fighting?”Cheng Yaojin was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. He looked at Li Chuan with anticipation.
"That's a good question, but Old Cheng, tell me. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, heroes rose up and there were so many heroes. Among the generals, there were countless who were good at fighting.”Li Chuan smiled and asked,"
"Flying General Shan Xiongxin, Ten Thousand Enemy Pei Xingyan, Duke of Tan Luo Shixin, Tang Generals Liu Hongji, Li Daozong, Xue Wanche, Su Dingfang, Xu Shiji, General Yuchi, General Qin, and of course, Old Cheng.”
Speaking of which, it was interesting. In the eyes of people more than a thousand years later, the story of the heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty was also a Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
There were still many debates about who was stronger and who was weaker in these three countries. Every reader had their own views, so it was not easy for him to answer.
But he wanted to know, in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty martial artists, who was the number one general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties?
At this point, the guards perked up their ears and waited quietly for Cheng Yaojin to give an answer.
"There are countless valiant generals, but the best fighter is probably Qin Qiong.”Cheng Yaojin gave a firm answer after thinking for a while.
Seeing the guards around him nod in unison, Li Chuan also nodded secretly.
Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde, and Qin Qiong were all generals with outstanding military achievements. On the surface, they didn't admit defeat to each other.
When it came to fighting, Cheng Yaojin didn't think much and said it was Qin Qiong.
It wasn't without reason that later generations had the saying of " Guan Yu versus Qin Qiong."
In addition, as the saying goes," With a thousand troops and a thousand horses, what's so difficult about taking something from your pocket?" In this era, this poem was used to describe Qin Qiong.
In the past, every time he saw Tang Shi's records of the battle at Tiger Cage Pass, he would also be shocked by Qin Qiong's appearance.
Five years ago, on the second day of the fifth month, during the decisive battle at Hulao Pass, Qin Qiong held his spear and rode on his horse. He carried the Tang army flag on his left arm and charged from the front of Dou Jiande's army to the back. Not only that, he also turned back and killed from the back of the enemy to the front of the enemy.
In the midst of thousands of troops, he was unstoppable. With his strength alone, he made Dou Jiande's army panic. In the end, the Tang army won the final victory in the Battle of Tiger Cage.
"What a pity, what a pity." Cheng Yaojin shook his head and sighed.
"What's there to pity?" Li Chuan couldn't help but ask with a curious smile.
"As for what's a pity, I can't say it.”Cheng Yaojin touched his nose and realized that he had said too much today.
However, it was a rare experience to talk about famous generals with a famous general of the Great Tang. Li Chuan did not want to let him off so easily.
