Chapter 3 The Rise of the Boy

"This ...... What does it have to do with last night's events? ”

Hearing this, Cao Yu's brows furrowed even tighter.

Zhou Feng unconsciously tightened the clothes on his body, swallowed his saliva, and quietly moved closer to Cao Yu.

"Don't dare to hide the military waiting, we encountered the 'ghost blowing the lantern' last night!"

Wu Liang hugged his fists and continued to maintain a deep voice, "After we were ordered to enter the mausoleum, we reached the end in a short time, and we were blocked by two stone gates......

Speaking of this, seeing that the two of them were stretching their necks to listen, Wu Liang suddenly raised his voice and burst into a loud shout: "Suddenly!! ”

"Ah......h

Zhou Feng immediately let out an exclamation, and subconsciously hugged Cao Yu's arm.

"Poof!"

Cao Yu was originally better, but when he was caught by Zhou Feng like this, he was also frightened and picked up the sword on the table, and even pulled out more than an inch to be on guard.

“……”

It turned out that nothing happened.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and a few crows could be vaguely heard outside the tent.

Cao Yu turned his head and glanced at Zhou Feng, shook his arm and shook off Zhou Feng's little hand that had nowhere to put it, and then turned his face and shouted to Wu Liang angrily: "You can talk when you speak, don't be surprised again!" ”

Wu Liang was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, while secretly thinking that when he told ghost stories to coax girls to drill into his arms, he really didn't practice in vain, and at the same time lowered his eyebrows and responded with a pleasing yes, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Suddenly there were bursts of whimpering in the tomb, as if someone was singing in a low voice, and it seemed to be a call from afar...... That's when !! ”

“!!!”

Zhou Feng's cheeks shook and hugged Cao Yu's arm again.

Seeing that Cao Yu was already gritting his teeth and glaring at him and preparing to scold, Wu Liangqiang couldn't help laughing, but he also knew the truth that there was no more than three things, and hurriedly continued: "Huh——! A gust of wind from the bone cave did not know where to start, and we seemed to be in the cold winter moon in an instant, the cold air came out of the bones, and the torches in our hands were all blown out! ”

"At this time, some people were afraid, so they told the tun chief about the rumors of 'ghost blowing the lamp' and proposed to withdraw from the tomb, but the tun chief was unwilling to be high or low for the military order, so I had to work in pairs to explore the other entrances in the dark, who knew that I and my companions had only walked for a while, and a scream sounded behind me, I wanted to look back but was controlled by an unknown force and couldn't move, and I lost consciousness after a short time, and I was already here when I woke up."

At this point, Wu Liang finally ended this horror story meeting.

As for the fact that he was attacked by his companions, Wu Liang didn't say a word.

The main purpose is to stabilize the mastermind behind the murder of him, so as not to startle the snake, so as to buy time and opportunity for himself to think in the long run.

After all, the slave has died, and there is no proof of death for anything.

"Hmmm......"

At this time, Cao Yu's eyebrows had already twisted into a pimple.

The heart said that if it was really a "ghost blowing the lamp", he was afraid that no matter how many people he sent into the tomb, he would be sent to death in vain, but with the secret order in his body, it was impossible for him to withdraw the army lightly, how could this be good?

That's when it happened.

"Nonsense!"

Zhou Feng, who was only submissive when listening to the story, suddenly attacked with a heavy fist at this time, pointed at Wu Liang and reprimanded loudly, "Wu Liang, what is your intention to be alarmist and disturb the military hearing?" ”

Something missing?

Wu Liang was shocked, but after recalling it carefully, he realized that there seemed to be no loopholes in the story he just told, so he clenched his fists a little nervously and asked, "Why did Zhou Dubo say this?" ”

"We were ordered by Cao to excavate the tomb of King Liang Xiao, but you used the 'ghost blowing the lantern' remark to intimidate the army to withdraw quickly, isn't it disturbing the public-eye, what is it?"

Zhou Feng's voice was full of emotion, and after saying that, he hugged his fist to Cao Yu again, and said respectfully: "The military waiter doesn't know, this person is called Wu Liang, he is a deserter, someone pleads for mercy to avoid death, and he is enslaved and belongs to our Yuanren army, this kind of person naturally dares to say anything in order to survive, and his words are not credible." ”

"What's more, everyone died last night, and he was the only one who lived, which is the biggest suspicion."

"The last general suspects that this person is very likely to have survived by deserting again last night, just to avoid being disposed of by the army, and in order not to enter the tomb again, he ignored the overall situation and deliberately fabricated the lie of 'ghost blowing the lamp' to deceive the army, and his heart should be punished!"

Hearing these words, Wu Liang was relieved.

Dare to love Zhou Feng did not find any loopholes in his story, but simply questioned the black history of the "talented brother" on the grounds of revenge, in order to achieve the goal of revenge on him.

The lethality of this kind of questioning is really limited, not to mention that Wu Liang already has other plans in his heart.

As a master's degree in archaeology, he is very good at studying history, and has selected some relevant historical facts just through the years in the memory of the "talented brother":

In the spring of the fourth year of the first peace, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, and then attacked Tao Qian and captured more than ten cities in Xuzhou, which was barely able to gain a foothold in the Central Plains.

In the autumn of the same year, that is, now, Cao Cao's father Cao Song was killed by Tao Qian's troops, and Cao Cao was angry and attacked Tao Qian again, but soon after the grain and grass ran out, and he had to withdraw his troops......

It is precisely because of this failure that Cao Cao missed the opportunity, and in the summer of the following year, when he conquered Xuzhou, he was taken advantage of by Lu Bu to seize Yanzhou, but when he returned to save Yanzhou, the locust plague was raging, and the grain and grass crisis was more serious, and there was even a scene of cannibalism, Cao Cao almost fell into a desperate situation and became a prisoner of Yuan Shao's subordinates.

So...... In order to supplement grain and grass to stabilize the war situation, Cao Cao sent people to excavate the tomb of King Liang Xiao at this time?

In fact, Cao Cao's excavation of the tomb of King Liang Xiao is recorded in the history books, but the details and time seem to be slightly different from what he knows and learns.

There is a cloud in "Yuzhou for Yuan Shao": the commander of the generals, the excavation in person, the naked corpse of the coffin, and the plundering of gold treasures. It made the holy pilgrimage weep and the people sad.

There are also clouds in "Notes on the Book of Water": Cao led the troops into the Dang, sent Liang Xiaowang Mound, broke the coffin, and collected tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures.

In these historical materials, it is clearly mentioned that the tomb of King Liang Xiao was excavated by Cao Cao himself, but the person who brought people to Dangshan to excavate this time was not Cao Cao himself, but a military candidate named "Cao Yu".

In addition to this, there is another doubt.

"Paying Yuzhou for Yuan Shao" also mentions: Cao and specially set up the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, touched the captain of Jin, and the suddenness was exposed.

But now the army that came to excavate the tomb of King Liang Xiao is called the "Wanren Army", and the leading rank is not a lieutenant general or captain, but just a military candidate.

This suspicion is relatively easy to understand, after all, the "Qiangren Army" has just been established, and Cao Cao may not have gathered a skilled tomb robber to lead this army, so there is no such official position for the time being.

In other words, it is now the time for Cao Cao to employ people......

One thing is certain, however, that this excavation of the Hsmiling Army in history was not successful, at least not in time.

Otherwise, if he had collected "tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures", Cao Cao's crusade would definitely not have been forced to withdraw his troops because of the exhaustion of grain and grass, so as to miss the opportunity......

That is to say.

The success of this excavation of the tomb of King Liang Xiao should be of great strategic significance to Cao Cao.

If Wu Liang can play a pivotal role in this, he may enter Cao Cao's sight in advance, and maybe he will be reused.

As long as you can hold the "big thick legs" of the future Prime Minister Cao Cheng, life will be much better in the future, at least your life will be worry-free.

Since he thought of this, of course Wu Liang would not sit still, and immediately said before Cao Yu reacted: "Jun Hou Mingjian, what the villain said is true, only one thing has not yet been said. ”

"What?"

Cao Yu directly skipped Zhou Feng's insistence and asked expressionlessly.

But I heard Wu Liang continue to clench his fists and say: "The military waiter doesn't know, the villain's ancestor is a boy in the same vein (similar to a spirit medium), but unfortunately when he arrives at the villain, he can't get up for some reason, so he breaks the inheritance and causes the family to fall down." ”

"It's also a trick to make people, last night when the villain was unconscious, he was inexplicably enlightened, and was wandered by the tomb owner, and because of this, he inadvertently saw the mechanism in the tomb clearly, and remembered the tomb owner's preferences by heart."

"If the army waits for the villain to enter the tomb of King Liang Xiao again, the villain will definitely be able to avoid the evil and succeed in one fell swoop!"
