An Xiaoyu and the five came to the end of the hell of vain death, and saw that Zhong Kui and Di Ting and other ghosts had arrived.

An Xiaoyu said: "Brother Zhong Kui, I would like to introduce you to a friend, Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, who helped us kill many powerful devils in the hell of vain death just now. ”

Zhong Kui felt the murderous aura on Xiang Yu's body, and said: "Okay, I just lack a master who can fight under my hands now, Xiang Yu, you follow me on an errand first, and in the future, I will talk to the king of Hades and transfer you out of hell for vain death." ”

Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, and hugged his fist to Zhong Kui and said, "Thank you, Lord Zhong." ”

Zhong Kui gave Xiang Yu a ghost token and a soul bead, and said: "Xiang Yu, from now on you are a hell ghost, and the destroyed devil souls are collected into this soul bead, and you can exchange merit points after you go out." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Xiang Yu, now you just follow Zhong Kui, Brother Zhong is upright, and he has a good temper with you, you get along well." ”

Xiang Yu said: "Okay." ”

Zhong Kui sacrificed the order of the king of Hades and opened the fifteenth layer of hell, Xiang Yu followed Zhong Kui, Di Ting and other ghosts to the other side, and An Xiaoyu, Mi'er, Niu Tou, and Ma Mian entered the fifteenth layer of hell.

An Xiaoyu saw that there were countless poles set up in the fifteenth layer of hell, and countless fishing nets were hung from them, and each fishing net contained a red hell ghost.

The ghost's flesh peeks out from the gaps in the fine nets, and the oni holds a sharp blade to expose the flesh outside the holes in the nets.

Ma Mian introduced: "Grandpa Sun, the fifteenth layer of hell is also called the Punishment Hell, and anyone who digs graves and digs graves during his lifetime will be sent to the Punishment Hell after death and sentenced to death, that is, ten thousand Lingchi. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "These people really want to get rich and want to go crazy, they dare to dig graves and dig graves, and after death, they fall into the hands of those ghosts whose graves have been dug open, can they still fall into the good?"

Ma Mian said: "Grandpa Sun is right, other crimes are not hateful, that is, digging graves makes every ghost unhappy, and if he commits other crimes, the ghost who executes is just palace work, but digging graves is closely related to every ghost." ”

An Xiaoyu walked forward and saw two people hanging from the two bamboo poles in front of him.

One of the people who is scolding is an old man with gray hair, and the other is in the prime of life.

An Xiaoyu said: "Ma Mian, go and see why these two people are scolding." ”

After a while, Ma Mian came with two ghosts.

Ma Mian said: "This is Lord Sun, you two hurry up and salute." ”

The old man straightened his chest and said, "I, Cao Mengde, am a hero, how can you be a ghost?"

The middle-aged man hugged his fists and said: "Sun Zhongmou has seen Lord Sun, we have the same surname, maybe we were a family five hundred years ago." ”

An Xiaoyu said curiously: "Cao Cao, Sun Quan, why are you two in hell?"

Sun Quan smiled bitterly and said: "Hehe, Lord Sun, it's hard to put it into words, both of us were punished for digging graves and digging graves to enter the hell of punishment. ”

Cao Cao said: "Sun Quan, I am different from you, I dig graves to feed my army, unlike you to build temples for your dead ghost father." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "What's the matter? ”

Cao Cao and Sun Quan glanced at each other, and you and I said the chaotic situation of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao said: "The people of the Three Kingdoms are uneasy, and the Eastern Wu and Western Shu Han Central Plains. In troubled times, the fields are barren, starving and starving, where there is so much land and population engaged in production, warlord battles, are all stock contentions, just such a piece of cake, whoever fights is who's, once the city is breached, the first thing to do is to grab the grain and grass population, the grain and grass can be used as a supply, the population can expand the number of soldiers, as for the long-term development, that is all in the future, survival is the priority of our warlords, any dynasty, the war is a resource, how much food you have, how many soldiers. ”

Sun Quan said: "Faqiu has a seal, touching gold has a charm, moving mountains has a skill, unloading a mountain has a Jia, Cao Cao, you are the real ancestor of tomb robbery, in order to support the huge military expenditure, you came up with the idea of tomb robbery, and set up a tomb robbery agency for this purpose, which is what the tomb robbers of later generations said, 'touch the gold school captain, Faqiu Zhonglang General' This institution." ”

Cao Cao said: "I didn't have a way at that time. Although I was born in the family of the eunuchs, I have been crowned as the hero of the troubled times and the title of the capable minister of the prosperous era since I was a child, and it seems that what I do is a cunning thing, even the second generation of Yuan Shao, who has played since I was a child, also looks down on me at all, thinking that there is an insult to the official court after the eunuch. When I became an adult, the world was in turmoil, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and the princes of the world rebelled against Dong Zhuo. ”

"I also had the heart to serve the country, in order to support my dream, my father sold his property, funded me to build an army of five thousand, at the beginning of the village fathers and elders of the funding, my military expenses are still handy, as my prestige in the eighteenth road princes is getting higher and higher, there are many people to take refuge in me, although I have Yanzhou as the base camp, but years of war, Yanzhou is not a rich place, naturally can not support my military expenses, for military expenses I also tried a lot of ways, attack Xuzhou, is to occupy this rich land。 ”

"After I conquered Xuzhou, I had Xuzhou as a base to barely support military spending, but slowly my army became more and more, after the outbreak of the Guandu War, I defeated Yuan Shao, and let the four states of Hebei all in my hands in a few years, but although I had all the territory north of the Yellow River, I could not support military spending, because whether it was the four states of Hebei or Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places under the rule of the war, all kinds of waste were prosperous. Naturally, I can't afford the daily expenses of hundreds of thousands of troops, and as the commander of the first army, I naturally can't watch the army disperse in a hurry because of lack of money!"

An Xiaoyu said: "Cao Cao, whose grave have you dug up?"

Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "Compared with Liu Bei and Sun Quan, I should be the most helpless, because I have the most army, and the military expenses required are very large, I am not like Liu Bei has a rich land of Bashu, nor is it like Sun Quan has the money and food accumulated by his father and brother for two generations, for military expenses I only dig graves and dig graves, I don't know how many tombs I have stolen, in order to raise military expenses as soon as possible, I decided to start with the tomb of the descendants of the royal family, and I first started with Liu Wu, the king of Liangxiao." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Why did you choose the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao?"

Cao Cao said: " The reason why I chose Liu Wu's tomb as the target is because Liu Wu is the youngest son of Dou Yifang, Dou Yifang loves this son very much, and gives him all the good things, and even Dou Yifang once instigated his son Liu Qili Liu Wu to be the emperor's younger brother, but in the end he was sent by the ministers to do it, although Liu Wu failed to become the emperor, but Liu Qi did his best to satisfy him, so Liu Wu's life was very luxurious, when Zhou Yafu pacified the Seven Kings Rebellion, Liu Wu once led troops to aid Zhou Yafu, so he was rewarded by Liu Qi. Liu Qi not only gave Liu Wu a lot of rare treasures, but also rewarded Liu Wu with fifteen cities, not only that, Liu Wu loved to collect rare treasures during his lifetime. ”

Cao Cao said excitedly: "There are a lot of rare treasures in Liu Wu's tomb, when I came to the scene in person, commanded the tomb robbery operation, and opened Liu Wu's tomb, I was frightened, because there were too many treasures inside, I sent the army to move for several days, because tomb robbery is not a glorious thing after all, so I ordered someone to block the news, many people don't know how many treasures I got in this tomb, in fact, I relied on Liu Wu's tomb to accompany the collection to feed the army for three years." If I hadn't chosen to rob tombs to maintain military funds, I'm afraid I would have withdrawn from the struggle for hegemony at the end of the Han Dynasty, let alone unify the north. ”

Sun Quan said sarcastically: "No wonder Chen Lin wrote an essay for Yuan Shao and ruthlessly exposed your tomb robbery: 'Commander the generals, come to the excavation in person, and plunder the gold treasure. To make the holy dynasty weep, and the people are sad! Cao and specially set up the general of the Qiu Zhonglang and the captain of the golden school, and the suddenness was not exposed. "After you defeated Yuan Shaosheng and captured Chen Lin, you just criticized Chen Lin for not scolding his ancestors for eighteen generations, and didn't mention the matter of robbing the tomb, are you acquiescing to robbing the tomb?"

Cao Cao said disdainfully: "I am not a hypocritical big-eared thief Liu Bei, hypocrisy, eating people without spitting out bones, I think digging out the burial treasures buried deep in the ground and making effective use of them is better than robbing the rations of the living, and it is better than Liu Bei Yiren and eating." ”

An Xiaoyu said: "What is easy to eat?"

Cao Cao said: "It is recorded in the history books of this matter: 'The reserve army is in Guangling, hungry and sleepy, and the officials and soldiers eat each other. At the beginning, Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu, lost his territory and his daughter-in-law and son, and was so hungry that he had no choice but to use his own people as military food. Sun Quan and I robbed the tomb, Liu Bei cannibalized, in this way, none of our three giants is a benevolent monarch, as the saying goes, you can't sit on the coward, people are not ruthless, and you can't stand steadily. can become a hero in the world, there will always be some eagles and wolves. I think that compared to ruthlessness, the first one should be Liu Bei, and Sun Quan and I can't compare. ”

An Xiaoyu said: "Sun Quan, whose grave have you dug up?"

Sun Quan looked embarrassed and said, "I didn't dig a few graves either. ”

Cao Cao said: "Sun Quan, a manly man, dare to be bold, your little, there are more than ten cases recorded by historians, what are you embarrassed to say?"

Sun Quan said: "I remember that the two largest ancient tombs excavated were the tombs of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and Wu Rui, the king of Changsha. ”

Cao Cao explained: "Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, is the only surviving famous general in the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, can not help him, Liu Heng, the Emperor of Han Wen, can only adopt the Huairou policy, Zhao Tuo left a descendant in the Central Plains, Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong is the line of Zhao Tuo's brothers, when Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty treated Zhao Tuo's relatives who stayed in Zhending County, Hengshan County, Zhao Yun was born in the Zhending Zhao family, and led the local 'righteous servants' to join the Gongsun Zan team. You actually dug up Zhao Tuo's tomb, I don't know why Zhao Zilong, who is full of guts, didn't seek revenge on you?"

Sun Quan said: "Zhao Yun naturally didn't know that I had dug up the graves of his ancestors. ”

Cao Cao said: "Wu Rui, the king of Changsha, is the only remaining prince with a different surname under Liu Bang's knife. Wu Rui can escape Liu Bang's palm, but he can't escape your Sun Quan's shovel and pickaxe, and even the wood that can be used in the cemetery has been pulled by you to build a house. Hahaha, Sun Quan, you really lack virtue!"
