Chapter 25: The Nobles

There is nothing technical about this project.

Although Wu Liang was nominally the person in charge, in fact, he only had a brief exchange with the tun chief, and the tun chief had already understood his meaning and took people down to work.

Now everyone in the Wanren Army knows that Wu Liang has made the first contribution.

In addition, Cao Yu was extremely important to him, and there were even rumors that after going back this time, Cao Yu might give him the post of general, so everyone would be extremely polite to him, and the order was conveyed and executed quite smoothly.

As for the rumors......

Eighty percent came from Chen Jinshui's big mouths, because the six of them were present when Cao Yu said this.

After the arrangements were made, Wu Liang rarely had a leisurely time.

Walking alone in the dormitory, I finally had the time to think about the mysterious drum.

Combined with the record of King Xiao of Liang in the "Historical Records", Wu Liang still felt that this small drum had a lot to do with the strange cow with feet on its back, and maybe the drum face and strap of the small drum were made of the skin of the strange cow.

And that strange cow must not be a vulgar thing!

Again, if it is just an ordinary animal skin, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the softness and toughness of a new skin after such a long time.

"Cow ...... Cattle...... Cow ......"

Following this clue, Wu Liang closed his eyes and searched for all the historical legends and allusions related to cattle that he knew in his head.

After a long time.

"Kui (kui two sounds) cow?"

Wu Liang suddenly opened his eyes and finally found an answer that he thought was relatively close.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness" includes such a strange beast, which is called "Kui Niu".

Kui Niu looks like a cow, but only one foot, all blue, no horns on the head, the cry is like thunder, rumbling and shaking the earth, as long as it enters the water, it will inevitably be stormy, wind and rain, is an extremely rare ancient beast.

Legend has it that there are only three cows in the world.

The first Kui Niu was caught by the Yellow Emperor, skinned and made into a war drum, and the bone was removed to make a drumstick, I heard that the drum shook more than 500 miles in a blow, and the soldiers of the Yellow Emperor tribe were excited after hearing the drum, and the tribe of Chiyou was frightened, so the world was decided;

The second Kui Niu was found by Qin Shi Huang, and he also wanted to emulate the Yellow Emperor in the past to use the heavenly drum to boost morale, so as to conquer the Six Kingdoms, set foot on the world, and unify China, so he also killed the Kui Niu and made it into a drum, but after the drum was made, the effect was unsatisfactory for some reason, and it was destroyed by him in a rage;

Since then, there has only one cow left.

However, after more than 2,000 years of history from Qin Shi Huang to the 21st century in which Wu Liang lived, there was no longer any clue about Kui Niu, as if the third Kui Niu had disappeared out of thin air, which was inevitably confusing.

The reason why Wu Liang associated the mysterious snare drum with Kui Niu is mainly based on three points:

First, there was indeed a hint of cyan on the surface of the mysterious snare drum, and at first he thought it was due to some special tanning technique, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it seems that it is indeed somewhat similar to the color of the fur of the cow.

And the appearance is also debatable, the cow with feet on its back and one foot always feels a little similar;

Second, we still have to go back to the "Historical Records".

As a lengthy general history, the "Historical Records" records the history of more than 3,000 years from the era of the Yellow Emperor in ancient legends to the first four years of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, if it is an insignificant trivial matter, it is categorically not eligible to be included in the "Historical Records".

And the matter of this strange cow with feet has been included in it, does this also prove from the other side that this strange cow is actually very promising, but Sima Qian didn't write it in detail, or for some reason he didn't dare to write it down?

After all, as far as Wu Liang knew, although Liu Wu, the king of Liangxiao, had never been an emperor, he had always had a heart to be an emperor.

And for this reason, he also ordered someone to assassinate more than a dozen important ministers of the court who opposed him as emperor, the then emperor Liu Qi of the Han Jing Emperor was furious after learning of this, Liu Wu had to order his advisers to commit suicide, and co-starred with the Empress Dowager Dou in a fake death scene, only to finally escape the death penalty, but since then it has been difficult to escape the resentment of the Han Jing Emperor Liu Qi......

And not long after this, someone offered Liu Wu a strange cow with feet on its back.

Not long after, Liu Wu suddenly fell ill with a fever and died violently.

Assuming that the strange cow is Kui Niu, imagine that such an ambitious person, after discovering Kui Niu, it is not logical to kill it and make it into a drum in order to dominate the world?

A little more conspiracy theory, after the matter of Kui Niu was learned by Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, he found that Liu Wu claimed that the emperor's heart was not dead, and immediately tried to kill him to prevent future troubles, isn't it also a logical thing?

As for how it is recorded in the "Historical Records......

History has always been dominated by the ruling class, Sima Qian, as a minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and this incident is a scandal that the royal family does not want to make public, how to record it, doesn't he have a point in his heart?

Third, after the Kui Niu drum made by the Yellow Emperor sounded, it can not only boost the morale of the soldiers under his command, but also make the Chiyou tribe frightened, which seems to have some similarities with his previous drum beating in the tomb.

As for why he couldn't boost his morale like the Yellow Emperor......

Qin Shi Huang is a good example of this, didn't the Kui Niu drum he made also fail to play such a role?

Wu Liang analyzed, or the three-headed Kui Niu has different characteristics, so the drum made also has different characteristics.

Or the effect of this drum may be related to the person who uses it, this is an artifact that can be "upgraded", if you compare and analyze the Yellow Emperor and Qin Shi Huang, the more benevolent and noble people use, the greater the power.

Exactly how this is needed to be further verified.

But one thing is for sure, this drum can indeed deter the Qiang, and this ability-like trait is enough to prove that the mysterious drum is unusual, but I don't know if it can also deter other beasts and beasts......

……

At the same time that Wu Liang was thinking about it.

"This short-lived ghost who has suffered a thousand cuts, how can He De be so lucky, even Cao Yu is so important to him!"

Slammed his fist on the ruins, Zhou Feng looked at Wu Liang's back with jealousy, and scolded through gritted teeth as if chewing his bones.

"If Cao Yu intends to give way to Wu Liang, won't this person be able to ride on my head and be a blessing from now on? A mere deserter, a dog-like servant? Is it tolerable or unbearable! ”

"Tonight!"

"Tonight!"

"Look at my little trick tonight, I will give you a great sin, and then don't say Cao Yu, even Cao De (Cao Yu's father) can't protect you if he speaks in person!"

After scolding, Zhou Feng finally felt a little relieved, glanced at Wu Liang again, and walked towards the military tent with a sneer.

After Zhou Feng left for a long time, a sneaky figure tiptoed out from behind the ruins:

"I can't imagine that I can hear such a secret story after, I am really a noble man with talented brothers, and this time I should be able to pay back my life first."
