Chapter 110: Dead Man's Base

Wu Hong said: Cao Cao's secret base is at the foot of a mountain 60 kilometers away from Xuchang, and in the past, this used to be a place where military horses were encircled, but because most of the war horses were killed and injured after the Battle of Chibi, the place where military horses were kept in captivity has been empty.

I asked Wu Hong: Can you check in at the secret base?

Wu Hong said that there are many checkpoints on the road to the secret base, and it may not be easy to break through these checkpoints.

I asked Wu Hong to continue to observe the dynamics of the Cao camp, a few of us mixed into the Cao camp, every day in addition to training with the soldiers, the rest of the time I was looking around for news, that day was on the battlefield with a few soldiers to move things, a soldier suddenly looked happy, he handed over his eyes and said: Dude, look, that is Princess Cao, there can be such a beautiful woman in the world, what a miracle!

I looked up and saw that there were a few people walking on the other side of the battlefield, one of whom was Miss Suppression, and I said, "Do you dare to have evil intentions towards the princess, and you are not afraid of being beheaded?"

The soldier laughed and said: I can smell the princess, and I am willing to die.

Damn, there are such womanizers who are willing to die just by smelling it.

"I said brother, do you know where the princess came from?"

I shook my head and said I don't know, Miss Yu is walking here, I'm worried that she has found me, could it be that Wu Hong told the secret?

"I heard that she came from a foreign land, and the princess is different from ordinary people, and I heard that she also brought a few people, who are very similar to her appearance and characteristics."

Fortunately, I had made up my makeup, otherwise the soldier would have shouted out if he had found out that I had the same physical features as Miss Suppression.

Miss Yu Yu approached, she was wearing a Han Dynasty costume, and she walked with Mrs. Guan, Gao Zhixiong and Guan Yunyun, it seems that Gao Zhixiong has become an official, Mrs. Guan is more like a noble lady of the Han Dynasty, and Guan Yunyun has a lot of jade ornaments on her body, and she wears a lot of gold and silver jewelry on her neck and hands.

"Hey, move now, it's slow." Gao Zhixiong shouted.

As she got closer and closer, she pointed to the soldiers and said, "These people, far from the combat capacity of the legion, are all kept as porters."

I was afraid that Miss Suppression would find out about me, but she regarded these soldiers as slaves, and would not look closely at all, and after walking around the battlefield, someone came to tell Miss Suppression that Cao Cao had invited him to discuss matters, and Miss Suppression glanced back at the soldiers on the battlefield, and got into the carriage with the others and left.

In the evening, as soon as I had eaten in the barracks, Wu Hong came to look for me, he pulled me into the room, took out a map, and said: This is the topographic map to the horse farm, and all the checkpoints and other trails have been drawn.

I said who drew this?

Wu Hong said that a villager, who often travels between Xuchang and the racecourse, is very familiar with this section of the road, and he discovered the secret of the secret base of the racecourse, which frightened him, and he said to Wu Hong that the army pulls many dead bodies into the base with horse-drawn carts from outside every day, and in the courtyard of the base, there are piles of dead bodies, and these dead bodies disappear every other day and are cleaned up, and on the training ground next to the base, there are more soldiers, and these soldiers stand there upright, not eating, drinking, or sleeping.

The villager said that the number of these soldiers who did not eat, drink or sleep gradually increased, and later, he found that there were still many skeletons standing on the training ground.

That's right, this is the legendary Legion of Death.

In addition to the map, I need a small team to help me, I plan to attack with fire, but I don't have gasoline, no brimstone, and I don't have much equipment with me, just a small packet of explosives.

Wu Hong said that he had a small team of men and horses who could help, these people were originally from Jingzhou, out of helplessness to stay in Xuchang, Wu Hong told them about the army of the dead, these people were willing to help Wu Hong, because these wives and children were still in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, once Cao Cao attacked there, their wives and children would definitely not be able to save their lives.

There are about 20 people in Wu Hong's people, and these 20 people can return to Xuchang with Wu Hong to continue to investigate the situation as a careful detective.

Wu Hong said that he could get sulfur, if there was a little nitric acid, then I could make nitrate oil explosives, but there was no nitric acid here, so Wu Hong could only prepare sulfur first, and after it was ready, the next thing was to wait for the opportunity, to get to the base you need to go out of the city, and to carry a large amount of sulfur you need a carriage, etc., it is not easy to hide the city defense.

When I was at a loss, Wu Hong came, and Cao Bing wanted to send him to transport a batch of corpses to the base, and I was overjoyed, sulfur and other things could be hidden in the carriage, and God helped me.

I pretended to be Wu Hong's soldiers, and together with Wu Hong, I quietly loaded the sulfur and other materials into the carriage, and then we walked towards the city gate, where the city gate guards stopped us and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" What do you do when you go out of the city?

Wu Hong took out the document and said: The prime minister sent me to deliver supplies at the base, which is an official document.

The guard took the official document and glanced at it and said: Release.

Wu Hong was about to urge the carriage out of the city, and another city defender shouted: Slow, how can there be a strong smell on the carriage?

The previous guard looked at him, puzzled, leaned his nose close to the carriage and sniffed it, and said: Sure enough, what is on the carriage?

As he spoke, several soldiers hula surrounded him and drew their swords out of their sheaths!

I walked up and lifted the corpse cloth, revealing half a swollen corpse, and I said: All are corpses, afraid of plague, specially disinfected with sulfur, so there is a smell of sulfur!

The guard nodded and said: Recently, I heard that there are many floating corpses in the fields and the city, and the weather is hot, there is really a possibility of a plague, so let's go! Come on! Hurry up and pull it away!

Several people immediately covered their noses, for fear that the smell of sulfur and the plague virus would be breathed into their lungs.

Wu Hong shouted: Go!

Out of the city, Wu Hongcai said: It's dangerous, now is a critical period, the investigation is strict, we have to be careful!

It was almost fifty miles to the base, and in just fifty miles, six checkpoints were set up, and Wu Hong used the same method to pass the first few checkpoints.

At the last checkpoint, the convoy was stopped again, and a soldier asked: Is there a corpse sent by the princess in the car?

Wu Hong said: Exactly!

The soldier sniffed it, and his nose was as sensitive as a dog's, and the smell of sulfur was very choking, and he flashed his hand and said, "Why is there sulfur?"

Wu Hong looked at me, I said: This batch of corpses has been specially handled by the princess, why do you stuff sulfur into the corpse, then you have to ask the princess, the princess has been very irritable recently, and I am also very puzzled, when carrying the corpse, I asked the princess why there is sulfur, and the princess blamed me for talking too much.

The soldier waved his hand and said, "In that case, let it go!"

After the last checkpoint, we are finally about to enter the base, the base is very high, Wu Hong said that in the past, when the horse farm was used here, almost all wooden fences were used, but the princess ordered to use the quarry stones to build the wall, and the wall has not been completely completed. The gate of the base is also made of iron fences, the fence is very dense, even a person can not get through, on both sides of the iron fence gate are two sentry posts, on which stand a few soldiers, they are holding bows and arrows in their hands, I observed it, the bows and arrows are all improved, and the accuracy has been greatly improved.

There is a sentry post a few meters apart from the wall, and these sentry posts must also have the effect of releasing signals.

The iron fence door slowly opened, and a bunch of soldiers quickly came out of it, holding swords in their hands, and then there was a sound of staggered armor, and a general walked out, it was Xiahoudun, Xiahoudun waved the sword in his hand and said: Quick, go in!

We hurriedly urged the carriage to enter the base, Xiahoudun walked behind with a group of men and horses, he muttered: What a ghost-haired princess, Prime Minister Cao Cheng must have been confused by that demon girl, how to get such a dead corpse, to fight with the dead, what is the use of the living!
