Beibi Mountain has been the burial place of emperors since ancient times.

The Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi left behind the famous sentence of "If you don't follow Dongluoshui, who will be buried in Beibi Mountain".

From the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Later Tang Dynasty, a total of 24 imperial tombs of 6 dynasties were buried, including 6 in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, 5 in the Eastern Han Dynasty, 1 in Cao Wei, 5 in the Western Jin Dynasty, 4 in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and 1 in the Later Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the most famous are the three mausoleums of Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Beibi Mountain crosses from the north of Luoyang City, extends to the east to Guangwu Mountain in Xingyang, and is located in Shouyang Mountain in Yanshi County, which is the highest peak of Beibi Mountain.

The terrain here is very undulating, the north slope is steep, the south slope is gentle, the ridge slope is continuous, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the terrain is seriously cut.

Ma Chaojun shuttled between the rolling steep slopes, and suddenly appeared, and suddenly there was a strange sound in front of him, Ma Chao's big hand was raised, and the whole army stood still.

Gao Shun pleaded: "I'll take a few people to the front to investigate." ”

"Well, go ahead, keep an eye on the left and right."

When Gao Shun's soldiers and horses disappeared into the cascading hillside, the whole world became extremely quiet, and the falling needles could be heard.

"Something seems wrong?"

It's been a long time, but Gao Shun hasn't come back yet, Ma Chao is not at ease, so he immediately sent some scouts to find Gao Shun's traces.

As a result, all the people sent out disappeared, as if they had disappeared.

The strange situation suddenly appeared, Ma Chao frowned deeply, even if Gao Shun was ambushed by the Liangzhou soldiers, he would make a little noise more or less, but he was so silent and lost his trace.

Something is very wrong!

Seeing this, Xu Shu said: "Major General, I am willing to lead the ranger troops to the highest point on the slopes on both sides, climb high and look into the distance, and see the situation ahead." ”

"Okay, but you can't leave my field of view."

Ma Chao was a little worried about the departure of Xu Shu and the others, and kept watching them climb to the top of the steep slope.

After finally climbing to the top of the steep slope, Xu Shu climbed high and looked into the distance, and found that the terrain was very complex, and many steep slopes were wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, like huge mushrooms.

The top of the mushroom-shaped steep slope obscured Xu Shu's view with its huge stone face, preventing him from seeing the situation below the steep slope.

It's just faintly that there seems to be a figure swaying in it.

Since he couldn't find anything else, Xu Shu had no choice but to come down, shook his head and talked about the strange and strange terrain of the steep slope ahead, and then said: "It's useless to just use it to see, our army can only lead the army into it, and then make calculations." ”

"It's fine."

Ma Chao nodded, and could only lead the army into it slowly, and when the army of thousands of people was gradually separated by the long and narrow terrain, he looked back and found the problem.

At least 1,000 people in the rear army disappeared!

"How so?"

The soldiers looked at each other, inevitably panicking, and the mysterious and unintelligible situation could arouse the fear in people's hearts the most, which was also the source of superstition.

When people are confronted with an incomprehensible existence, they will put their trust in the ethereal gods, beg for the protection of the gods, and even use sacrifices to obtain the support of the gods of nothingness.

In even more extreme cases, in order to strengthen the so-called sense of ritual, they even began to use means such as human sacrifice, which was unbearable and outrageous.

To put it bluntly, it is the heart of human beings that is too fragile to believe in some things that do not exist at all, and human beings themselves are just a fragile living form.

Ma Chao frowned, and wanted to go back to find those missing soldiers, but there were also surprises from the vanguard troops in front, and the troops of Pang De and Gongsun Zan were actually gone!

There were problems in the front and rear armies, but the Chinese army where Ma Chao, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, and Liu Xie were located was quite safe, but the troops had already opened up for a long time.

"Quickly shrink the formation!"

All the soldiers of the Chinese army quickly gathered together, and many of them longed to stick a few faces together, for fear that they would be gone in the next second.

The strange situation caused Ma Chaojun to stay where he was, not daring to act rashly.

"It's not going to go on like this."

Zhao Yun came out with a gun and said, "Yun, I am willing to lead a light cavalry to explore the way!" ”

"No!"

Gao Shun immediately stopped Zhao Yun, Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and said: "Actually, it is feasible to let General Zhao go to explore the way, only one thing is needed." ”

Ma Chaoqi said: "Kong Ming, you should talk about it, what do you want, you can order Zilong to lead his troops to explore the way?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "Rope." ”

"Wow!" Pang Tong shouted: "Oh, I just thought of it, and you were told by Kong Ming first." ”

"Ropes?"

Zhao Yun and Gao Shun glanced at each other, not knowing how to use the rope, but Xu Shu knew what Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong meant, and said: "Use the rope to bring all the soldiers of Zhao Yun's department together, once there is a problem with any section of the soldiers, you can detect it before and after." ”

"Great idea!"

Zhao Yun smiled and frowned, and immediately the soldiers ripped off the fabric at the bottom corner of the battle robe, twisted it into a rope, and then connected it back and forth, and tied it tightly.

If the people in the front part are missing, the people in the back part will find out; On the contrary, if the people in the back part are missing, the people in the front will also be the first to find out.

After everything was prepared, Zhao Yun took his soldiers to explore the way.

It didn't take long for the hands of the soldiers of the Chinese army to maintain the rope suddenly tightened, and some soldiers shouted: "Tight!" Tight! ”

"Quick, pull it, and remind the people who go out that the rope length is not enough!"

Before the words fell, the rope that was originally very compact suddenly loosened, and the rope actually fell to the ground!

"What?"

"Not good!"

Ma Chao and Gao Shun immediately rushed over on horseback, and touched the loosened rope until the other end, and when they saw what was in front of them, the two looked at each other and couldn't speak.

The other end that caused the rope to loosen was actually buried under the loess!

"Could it be... All the people in Zhao Yun's department have been buried underground? ”

"It can't be!"

They immediately called the soldiers to come and dug up the loess along the approximate position of the rope, revealing a hole in the ground.

In the hollow, there was a whirring wind, and down from the place where they stood, it was actually a huge hollow space!

Xu Shu reacted at this time and shouted: "It's not good! ”

With a bang, under the feet of the 2,000 soldiers and horses of the Chinese army, the loess suddenly cracked, and all of them fell into a huge hole!

"Ah——!h

The cavalry of 2,000 people, men and horses, and a large amount of grain and grass baggage, fell under the pit, and the dust and smoke billowed out, and the people were coughing violently, trying to spit out the sand that they had accidentally eaten into their mouths.

After his eyes gradually adjusted to the dust flying in the sky, Ma Chao opened his eyes and found that this dark space seemed to be artificially built.

With the sunlight shining from his head, he saw the surrounding scenery clearly, and all 2,000 cavalry fell into a bronze hall, but fortunately, the height of the bronze hall from the loess above his head was not high, and there was a large amount of loess under his body.

Otherwise, at least a few hundred people will die in this fall.
