Chapter 13 The Hidden Eye
So far, for Cao Yu, this journey of tomb robbery has been completed.
This batch of gold must weigh at least a few tons, converted into the unit of measurement of the Han Dynasty, that is, thousands of catties, or even tens of thousands of catties, and transporting it back can definitely solve the urgent need for Cao's army's food and salary, and even be able to maintain military supplies for a period of time.
Therefore, he immediately consulted Wu Liang's opinion, and after receiving Wu Liang's affirmative reply, he sent people out to gather people to carry out the carrying work.
In the process of waiting, Cao Yu suffered from gains and losses like many people who won the lottery, pulled Wu Liang aside and asked in a low voice: "Talented and virtuous brother, I am still a little worried, there is a way that wealth moves people's hearts, these gold teach people to move, it is inevitable that some people will be greedy for private collection, and they may not be able to find it at that time, how can we prevent it from happening?" ”
"It's easy to do."
Wu Liang smiled indifferently, "The military candidate only needs to engrave the number on the gold brick in advance, and then register the number with each person involved in the transportation, so that the responsibility can be placed on the individual, and naturally no one can hide it privately." ”
"Wonderful! This is a wonderful plan! Why didn't I think of it! ”
Cao Yu suddenly smiled, hugged Wu Liang's shoulder and shook it, and praised endlessly, "A talented and virtuous brother is really a heavenly man, and a virtuous brother can be auspicious to avoid evil and open a tomb to break the ground, and he can offer a clever plan to relieve my sorrows, how can I be able to get the help of a virtuous brother, it is really a great luck in this life!" ”
"The military candidate has praised it falsely, and he doesn't dare to be good."
Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and said pleasing to the eye.
"Not so! In the eyes of my brother, your talent is comparable to that of the envoy's side strategist Xi Zhicai, maybe that drama talent may not be comparable to you. ”
Cao Yu shook his head and said.
Xi Zhicai......
Of course, this person Wu Liang also knows.
This person's name is called "Xi Zhong", and Zhicai is just his word, and he is the most important strategist in Cao Cao's early days, and there is no one.
Xi Zhong once helped Cao Cao Chen to raise troops, and planned to break the Yellow Turban Army, and won more than 300,000 troops with a population of more than 1 million......
It can be said that Cao Cao was able to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains and achieve great causes, and Xi Zhong played a role that could not be ignored.
It's a pity that this person's life is not very good, he died relatively early, and this person is not mentioned in the wider audience "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
So that most people in later generations only know that there is a famous saying in the late Eastern Han Dynasty: "Guo Jia does not die, Wolong does not come out", but they do not know that there is a similar famous saying before this sentence: "Zhicai does not die, Guo Jia does not come out"!
And that's exactly what happened.
There is such a record in "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, and Guo Jia Biography": Taizu and Xun Yushu said: "Since the death of Zhicai, there is no way to deal with the planner." Thou shalt be the many strangers, who shall succeed them? "Yu Jianjia. Summoned, talk about the affairs of the world.
After the death of Zizhicai, there is no way to deal with the planner!
Mo Ke with the Counter!
With these six words alone, it is enough to see the status of Xi Zhong in Cao Cao's heart, if this person hadn't died early, Cao Cao might not have used Guo Jia.
To put it bluntly, Guo Jia was just a replacement that Cao Cao found after Xi Zhong's death.
Even after Cao Cao's son Cao Pi was officially proclaimed emperor, he once used eight words to describe Xi Zhong: "I am not a drama talent, not an emperor!" ”
It should be known that the time of Xi Zhong's death was 196 A.D., while the time of Cao Pi's birth was 189 A.D.
In this way, Cao Pi was only 7 years old when Xi Zhong died, what kind of talent is it that can leave such a deep impression in the heart of a 7-year-old child?
"Don't torture me, how can I be compared with Xi Zhicai?"
Wu Liang hurriedly said.
This time it's not fake modesty, but real admiration.
"He is talented, you are talented, and you both have the word 'talent' in both of them, why can't they be compared?"
Cao Yu said with a smile.
The soldier laughed.
Wu Liang shook his head, quietly led the topic elsewhere, and said, "The army will supervise the transportation of gold here, so it is better to send the soldiers who have just entered the tomb with me, and I will lead them to continue to explore the depths, maybe I can gain something else." ”
"Yes, yes."
Cao Yu readily agreed.
……
Wu Liang chose to continue to go deeper, but in fact, he hid his selfishness.
First, he wanted to see with his own eyes the original version of the "Four Gods Cloud Qi Map", which was praised by Chinese and foreign experts and scholars as "Dunhuang before Dunhuang" and "Dunhuang outside Dunhuang", and the original layout in the tomb has long been lost to later generations;
Second, he wanted to open the coffin of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, to find out.
As we all know, although the gold is valuable, it is only something outside the body, and the owner of the tomb usually chooses to carry it with him.
For a tomb owner of the status of King Liang Xiao, it must not be simple to carry things with him.
……
In my impression, the tomb of King Xiao of Liang has two connected main burial chambers, the higher is the palace room, and the lower ground is the coffin bed room where the coffin is stored.
However, there was plenty of time, and Wu Liang did not go directly to the main burial chamber, but took the remaining nine soldiers to turn back the same way, and successively explored the other two burial passages that could also be used in the main burial chamber.
The tombs on both sides of these two tombs and the East Palace also have many cultural relics that can be called national treasures in later generations, but there are no things that need special attention in this era, so the group is both cautious and leisurely strolling.
At this moment, the soldiers and Wu Liang had reached some kind of tacit understanding, and no one would touch anything without Wu Liang opening his mouth.
After about an hour, the crowd finally came to one of the main burial chambers.
This main burial chamber is the temple.
The layout of the palace is somewhat similar to the Jinluan Hall of the emperor's early dynasty in the costume drama, but the scale is much smaller.
The top of the hall is the legendary "Four Divine Cloud Map", this picture is mainly based on red pigment, a yellow soaring dragon runs through the east and west, and there are sacred beasts such as Vermilion Bird and White Tiger as a foil, supplemented by Ganoderma lucidum and cloud pattern decoration, it looks like it is inspiring, and it is definitely more shocking than the photos seen in the textbook before.
The top of the hall is a small high platform made of white marble carving, and there is a chair made of golden silk nan wood on the platform, which should be regarded as the "dragon chair" where Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, sits.
However, the soldiers' attention was completely attracted by the four lifelike maid figurines on the left and right of the "dragon chair":
"It's so handsome."
"This figure, if it were a real person, it would be wonderful."
"I really want to touch ......"
The Han Dynasty was known for its "thin waist" and "light body", and these four maid figurines completely echoed these characteristics.
After carefully looking at the "Four Divine Cloud Qi Map", Wu Liang was the first to notice a waterhole with a diameter of about two meters in the center of the temple.
I saw that the water in the middle of the pool seemed to be boiling, and it kept tumbling, making a "gurgling" sound.
"This ...... Isn't it the legendary 'Inner Eye'? ”
Wu Conscience was secretly shocked.
