Chapter XII. The mystery of history

Small colorful bedroom.

After we made a pot of fragrant latte, we continued the discussion.

What made Xiao Qicai puzzled before was that there were many ancient Chinese tortures, including tricks, but basically they were directly blinded in the eyes, or stabbed into the eyes with sharp knives, so that the tortured person felt deep pain, so as a murderous butcher, why did Bai Qi have to work so hard to gather all these 10,000 prisoners of war in the deep mountains at night and three watches, and use many special tools to dig out those people's eyes intact and without any damage? What is his purpose in doing this?

At this point in the discussion, an extremely strange atmosphere has begun to emerge.

Li Mengzhu gulped down his coffee and said with a very stiff expression, "Bai Qi's purpose for doing this, will it be because of these 10,000 captives...... Are they all weird? After thinking about it for a long time, Li Mengzhu didn't know how to describe it, so he simply used the word "weird".

I knew what she was trying to say, and encouraged her, "It's okay to assume and don't be afraid." ”

Li Mengzhu took a deep breath and said, "Will these 10,000 captives also have the ability to hypnotize like Lin Fulai?" ”

Xiao Qicai said noncommittally, "The most terrifying thing about this wild history is that it describes that Bai Qi dug out a total of 26,000 eyes at that time, and many people laughed at the author of this wild history before, not only did the narrative not conform to Bai Qi's murderous character at all, but also the mathematics was wrong, how could 10,000 people dig out 26,000 eyes?" But now that I think about it, perhaps, it is not the person who wrote this wild history who is wrong, but the person who laughed at him, all wrong! ”

The more I spoke, the more dry my mouth became, "10,000 people, 26,000 eyes, prove that out of these 10,000 people, at least 6,000 are ...... Three eyes! ”

Xiao Qicai said, "So when Bai Qi encountered such a strange thing, it would be completely inconsistent with his character, and he didn't choose to kill them directly, but took advantage of the middle of the night to transfer them all to the mountain, wanting to dig out all the eyes of these people, he probably wanted to see if he could find out the secrets of these people, and then, for his own country!" ”

Li Mengzhu agreed, "Although Bai Qi has killed countless people, he is loyal to the Qin State, known as the god of war, and he is invincible in battles all his life, he ......"

"Wait a minute!" I suddenly had an idea, so I quickly interrupted Li Mengzhu's words, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then said with a solemn expression, "You say, the secret of Bai Qi's invincibility, will it have something to do with his eyes?" ”

Li Mengzhu and Xiao Qicai's bodies shook at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Qicai quickly checked the information with the tablet again, and said, "For the Qin State at that time, if you want to complete the great cause of unifying the Central Plains, you must first open the passage to the Central Plains in the east, at that time, South Korea, Wei State, and Eastern Zhou Dynasty have formed a coalition army, with a strength of 240,000 people, and there are only 120,000 people on the Baiqi side, and the number is doubled!" But in the end, Bai Qi went very smoothly and won the battle without any suspense! That famous battle was the Battle of Ique! And after that battle, the Qin State completely opened the door to reunification, it can be said that without that battle, the vitality of Han and Wei would not have been so hurt, and of course, the country would not have died so early! ”

I looked at the information that Xiao Qicai then sent to the wall, and said, "Let's not talk about the results of that classic battle, just say that after Bai Qi won this battle, he pulled out five cities in a row and beheaded 50,000, and then to the end of the entire Yique Campaign, Bai Qi pulled out more than 60 cities in Wei in a row, and everywhere he went, he was invincible." At the same time, the victory of Bai Qi will be accompanied by a massacre, why is this so? Is it because Bai Qi is really addicted to killing, or is there something else hidden in it? ”

Li Mengzhu said, "Bai Qi is a mystery himself, what the hell, I'm afraid we won't be able to restore the situation at that time!" ”

I said, "So we might as well make a bold assumption." According to the records, the reason why Bai Qi won more with less in the Battle of Yique was because before the start of the war, Bai Qi used suspicious tactics and put on an offensive posture, but in fact, the main force secretly went around the rear of the coalition army and launched an attack on the Wei army! But the generals of the coalition forces at that time were not stupid, knowing that Bai Qi was good at using soldiers, so easily fell for the scheme? ”

Xiao Qicai frowned, "What do you want to say?" ”

I looked at her and said, "What I want to say is that the suspicious tactics used by Bai Qi, those small number of suspicious soldiers, may all have the ability to hypnotize!" So much so that the enemy troops who were fighting at that time were completely confused, which gave Bai Qi the opportunity to sneak attack the rear! ”

Xiao Qicai said, "But you're just assuming!" ”

I said, "It's hypothetical, but combined with the record of Ye Shibai's eye-gouging, I have to think so!" ”

Li Mengzhu asked the most critical question at this time, and interjected, "Even if, I mean even if, even if your assumption is correct, then, after Bai Qi wins, why do you want to kill the other party's prisoners?" ”

I unconsciously waved my hand in the air and said, "There must be a reason for this, but I can't think of it yet." ”

Seeing that we couldn't find a result in our discussion, Xiao Qicai immediately opened the second information.

The second information is also about Wu Zixu, a native of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Wu Zixu was born in an aristocratic family of Chu State, and received a good education since he was a child. In 522 BC, Wu Zixu took refuge and fled to Wu because his father Wu Hao and brother Wu Shang were chased and killed by King Chuping. Later, he became acquainted with Wu Gongziguang and planned to assassinate Wu Wanggong to help Gongziguang seize the throne. He Lu appointed him as a "pedestrian" and became an important adviser of the state of Wu.

Regarding Wu Zixu, the historical book "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period" records, "(Wu Zixu) personally shot the palace and whipped Jingping's tomb for 300. It means that in 506 B.C., King Wu Lu worshiped Sun Wu as a general and Wu Zixu as a deputy general, personally led a large army to attack Chu State, won successive battles, and defeated the army of Chu until Yingdu.

At that time, King Chu Ping had died, and his son King Chu Zhao had fled. Wu Zixu hated King Chu Ping, dug up his grave, and dug up King Ping's body and whipped him severely.

It is worth noting here that Wu Zixu has been hunted down all his life, and it can be said that he is the only strange person in Chinese history who uses his personal strength to take revenge on the king! And he succeeded, why can Wu Zixu take revenge perfectly with his personal strength, is he really capable and lucky, or does Wu Zixu also have secrets that others don't know?

Sima Qian's evaluation of Wu Zixu at that time was: "Abandon small righteousness, snow is ashamed, and your name will be hung in future generations!" ”

The patriotic poet Qu Yuan also once praised his character and behavior, so many people believe that Wu Zixu did not whip the corpse at that time, but what he whipped was the tomb of King Chuping, and he was whipped 300 times. In fact, this is just a very insignificant detail, whether it is a whip corpse or a whip grave, in fact, what you want to express is one meaning, that is, the pleasure of Wu Zixu's successful revenge!

So, why is it controversial?

I think the most critical point is whether Wu Zixu did dig the grave of King Chuping at that time, and after digging the grave, did he whip the corpse, or did he do something else?

Here, according to my assumption, Wu Zixu did whip the grave first, whipped three hundred times, and then dug up the grave, and then dug out the eyes of King Chuping! As for why he gouged out his eyes, I think Wu Zixu must have already known some secrets about the White Wall Night Eye at that time, and King Chu Ping was the one who became one with the White Wall Night Eye!

Hearing my assumptions in this paragraph, Xiao Qicai first disagreed, "What you said is too mysterious! ”

Li Mengzhu also nodded, "It's unacceptable!" ”

I said, "I said it was hypothetical, but I didn't say it for no reason, I have my reasons!" ”

"What reason?" Xiao Qicai and Li Mengzhu asked in unison.

I said, "If I'm not mistaken, at that time, Wu and Yue were at war, and Wu Zixu had persuaded King Wu many times to let him kill Gou Jian, but King Wu didn't listen, and later listened to the villain's slander and wanted to kill Wu Zixu, Wu Zixu was angry and did an unbelievable thing!" ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qicai and Li Mengzhu asked at the same time for the second time.

I tried to search my mind for the history books I had read, and said, "Before Wu Zixu died, he asked people to gouge out his eyes and hang them on the city wall, and he also said at the time, I want to see the destruction of the Wu Kingdom with my own eyes!" ”

"So what?" Li Mengzhu didn't understand.

I said word by word, "Seeing the demise of the Wu Kingdom with my own eyes may not be a decision made by Wu Zixu in anger, nor is it a move by him to gouge out his eyes and risk death!" Instead, ...... "Speaking of this, I also feel a little bad, and the more I talk, the more frightened I feel," Wu Zixu said...... He............ He knew at all that eye would directly lead to the destruction of the Wu Kingdom! ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Qicai and Li Mengzhu suddenly breathed quickly and were moved again!

Then none of the three of us spoke, and the whole bedroom fell into a deathly silence!

I don't know how long it took before I could barely smile and say, "I said, everything I just said is just a discussion, it's all hypothesis, you don't have to care too much!" ”

Li Mengzhu looked around uneasily, "But I always have a feeling of being stared at, if your assumptions just now are true, it is really terrible." Alas, I have only recently escaped the shadow of the wall, and after talking to you today, I am a little scared again. ”

Xiao Qicai pretended to be calm and glared at me, but her mouth was comforting Li Mengzhu, and said, "Don't pay attention to him, this matter is not allowed to continue to be discussed, so be it." What is white, Wu Zixu's, it's all assumptions! ”

I nodded again and again, pretending to agree, "Yes, it's all fake." Anyway, no matter how terrible the White Wall Night Eye is, as long as you stay away from it, don't go to the Horror Castle again, and we have nothing to do. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, my phone rang suddenly.

didn't look at the number, but answered it casually, and on the other end of the phone, Officer Gao Ze's voice came, "Lin Fulai is dead!" Li Mengzhu's father also had an accident, you should inform Li Mengzhu immediately, you had better ...... together Come on a trip now! ”

Putting down the phone, my heart can no longer be calm!
