Chapter 197: Basilica Cistern
Liu Xie's head was bowed, he knew that these words were from "Sun Tzu's Art of War, Military Form", but he didn't understand why Cao Cao wanted to mention it at this time.
Seeing him nodding, Cao Cao also smiled and said, "Since Your Majesty knows, Sun Tzu said the word 'good guard'." It can be attacked, but it cannot be underground. This is also the experience of the ministers over the years, sometimes the battlefield seems to be a plain, but in fact there are tombs and caves underneath, these places are simply natural ambush points, if you can't make good use of it, wouldn't it be a pity? ”
"That's why Da Sikong created this army, and their main role is to fight, which means that what Chen Lin wrote is a slander against you?!"
Liu Xie was surprised, if it was really as he said, it would subvert the records of later generations, and Boss Cao was really a little wronged.
However, Cao Cao shook his head: "Of course, the most important thing for the army is to fight, but the ministers will not hide it from you, if they find a suitable tomb, they will indeed transport the treasures inside." It is used as military salary, and it is used by the imperial court, but it is ...... This is not the first of its kind. ”
"Oh?"
Liu Xie frowned: "Who is that?" ”
"Former Prime Minister Dong Zhuo!"
When Cao Cao said this, he actually let out a sigh: "Actually, he Dong Zhongying can be regarded as a hero, there are not many people who can make me admire, even if he is one of them, of course the minister knows that His Majesty does not like him, but ...... In terms of strategy and power, he Dong Zhuo has done a good job, and he can even subdue Lu Bu...... I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of the warlock talking about Lu Bu's life. ”
"I don't know." Liu Xie really didn't know, and couldn't help but prick up his little ears for gossip at this moment.
Cao Cao said: "According to the warlock, Lu Bu's life occupies the position of the shock hexagram, and his life is like tyranny and impermanence, shaking the world like thunder, but it is like a white horse passing through the gap, and it is fleeting...... But people with this kind of fate are difficult to subdue, although Dong Zhuo died in the end, but at the beginning. Lu Bu is really obedient to him! ”
Liu Xie had never heard of his statement, and he couldn't help but secretly remember it in his heart, although he didn't know if he still had a chance to travel back, but what if?
If he has the opportunity, he believes that once he makes these things public, he will definitely let the people of the world have a new understanding of the history of the Three Kingdoms period!
Then, Cao Cao continued, but before he could speak, two warriors appeared out of the ground opening: "Your Majesty, Da Sikong, the following has been investigated." ”
"Tell me."
"Yes!"
The samurai bowed his hand to Cao Cao and explained the situation below, it turned out that after walking down the stairs from here, after passing through a long corridor, there was a spacious hall, and because it could light torches, it was believed that there was a ventilation system underneath.
In the middle of the hall, there is a square platform, the platform is engraved with words, patterns, it seems to be used for sacrifice, and then through the hall, there are three rooms, all with steps, under the steps is the water, very clear, and on the steps there is a terrace, the terrace has chains on the left and right, stretching into the water.
After listening to the samurai's report, Cao Cao hesitated: "Didn't you pull out the chains and take a look?" ”
"Not yet." Samurai said: "Dasikong, according to our experience, there should be a water palace or an underwater tomb underneath, but the former is more likely." ”
"Okay......" Cao Cao nodded, stood there and thought for a long time, and then said to the warrior: "You are like this, now you go down and prepare, and I will go down with Your Majesty and take the others down." ”
"No!"
The warrior responded, this time when he went back, Cao Cao also greeted here, Xiahoudun and others hurriedly prepared, at this time Liu Xie's eyes rolled, and suddenly took his hand, looking very worried: "Lord Sikong, let's go down like this?" ”
"yes."
Cao Cao looked at him and smiled: "What, Your Majesty is scared?" ”
"Not really, the origin of a place like this is unknown, and it is also a strange place as described by Fang Cai, what should be next...... I see, Lord Sikong doesn't want to go down, just pass that what kind of hair Qiu Zhonglang will pass on, after all, people are professionals. ”
"Huh? Hahaha. ”
When Cao Cao heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "It turns out that Your Majesty is really worried about this." Forget it, you don't need to be a Zhonglang general, not to mention that he is not in the army now, even if he is, you don't have to look for him, Your Majesty doesn't know, in fact, the first Faqiu Zhonglang general is a minister, personally concurrent! ”
No way!
After Cao Cao finished speaking, he didn't wait for Liu Xie's reaction at all, and pulled him to stride down, but Liu Xie was extremely surprised in his heart at the moment.
And I also understand a truth, striking iron also needs its own hardness, if you want to send someone to do something, you have to understand the process.
Like Cao Cao, he even robbed the tomb himself, and his subordinates had nothing to deceive him, and he was worthy of being a descendant of someone who could get the power of the court.
From this point of view, the difference between himself and Cao Cao is not a little bit, and he must learn more in the future, after all, Yiduo is not pressing, and there is ......
The devil knows how many crafts he Boss Cao has mastered!
Because the warrior said that there was a dungeon and a water palace below, Liu Xie didn't have any resistance, and followed Cao Cao down like this, and there was another reason to see how much Boss Cao's skills in this area had become more specialized.
Under the Water Palace, there have already been preparations in advance, and torches and fluorites have illuminated this place quite brightly.
Liu Xie looked at it, and everything that caught his eye was quite exquisite, and it was extremely rich in the architectural characteristics and characteristics of Guishan, so it could be determined that this place must have been built after the establishment of Guishan.
As for the materials, they should all be ordinary stones, but they are all carved and piled up.
After sweeping around, Liu Xie didn't see anything particularly valuable, after all, archaeology was not his specialty, so he could only cast an inquiring glance at Boss Cao: "Lord Sikong, what do you think of this place?" I look at it as an ordinary water palace. ”
"Now it seems so, but don't worry, Your Majesty." Cao Cao said, and called the couch over: "You go and translate the text here." ”
"No."
After carefully and repeatedly reading all the places with handwriting, he returned to Cao Cao's side: "Your Majesty, Da Sikong, the minister has seen it." ”
"What's written on it?"
"Back to Da Sikong, although there are a lot of words in it, but in fact, it all translates to one meaning - hatred!"
"Hate?"
Hearing these two words, including Cao Cao, they couldn't help but wonder, Cao Cao asked, "What do you mean by this?" Hate, what hate? ”
"I don't know."
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Da Sikong, all the words translate to this meaning, as for why and what it represents, the minister doesn't know." ”
Looks like I'm going to have to tear those chains along!
Thinking of this, Cao Cao turned his heart to Xiahoudun: "Yuan Rang, you let the touching golden pawn drag those chains out to take a look." ”
"No!"
Hearing this, Xiahoudun strode to the outside of the three chambers, and said to the golden pawn who had already prepared: "Withdraw the iron chain!" ”
"No!"
The golden pawn listened to the order and acted immediately, but then a strange scene appeared, as they pulled the chains, there was an indescribable sound in the room, which made the whole body uncomfortable to listen to, and more importantly, those chains, as if they were connected in series, pulled one and the other five would also move.
But if the six roots are pulled together, but there is no sound, what is going on?
