The ancestral tomb of the Kuai family is a hill more than 20 miles west of Xiangyang City, with dragons and tigers standing on the screen, Xuanwu covering the screen, and a pair of feng shui treasures.

At this time, the ancient tomb of more than 200 years has been excavated, and there are armor guards around it.

The smoke and dust swept in the distance, and the brothers of the Kuai family who came on horseback jumped down in front of the grave, looking at the embarrassed ancestral grave in front of them, the two brothers fell to the ground with a puff, their fists clenched, their expressions painful, and their eyes were filled with crystal tears.

In this era, the emperor would still build a mausoleum as soon as it was registered, why? It's superstitious about Feng Shui.

The ancestral grave of the Kuai family was dug up, and in their opinion, the Kuai family was destroyed, and the great feud of life and death would never do this.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue asked themselves that there would always be a line in doing things in this Jingchu land, even if it was an opponent, they would not be forced to go to a dead end, what kind of person wanted them to be out of business.

"Let's go, go in and have a look!" For a long time, Kuai Liang, who had a hideous face, squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.

The two brothers almost supported each other and walked towards the grave in front of them.

The method of tomb robbing is very rough, and there is no way to dig holes from the side and then penetrate horizontally into the tomb like traditional tomb robbers, which is obviously a last resort in a hurry.

Walking in the cemetery, Kuai's conscience secretly analyzed.

The key behind him followed in with a torch, and through the light of the fire, it was empty, all the funeral goods were hollowed out, even the coffin was dug up, and it looked like a poor and crazy person had done it.

"Brother, what is this?" After walking around the tomb, Kuai Yue soon discovered that there was an object under the coffin.

Kuai Yue held up the torch to check, it is an object similar to a military talisman, engraved with the word 'touch gold'.

After seeing these two words clearly, the two brothers showed a shocked look on their faces, and blurted out tacitly: "Touch Captain Jin!" ”

Cao Cao has a golden lieutenant under his command, this is a secret that is not open, although the big guys have never seen this song, but they all know that in the early years, when Cao Cao's military expenses were urgent, he would use this song to dig graves and steal burial goods.

"Wow, Cao Thief Touching Gold actually dared to touch the ancestral grave of our Kuai family, go, go to him to settle accounts!" Kuai Yue's temper suddenly came up.

The ancestral grave was dug up, Kuai Yue still cared about whether you were Cao Cao or not Cao Cao, even if the knife hung around his neck, he would not be cowardly.

What's more, once this matter spreads, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to continue to work for Cao Cao in the civil and military affairs of Jingxiang Land, and Kuai Yue is still very confident in the influence of the Kuai family.

Kuai Liang frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, but he found the talisman of Captain Jin in the stolen ancestral tomb, which should have asked Cao Cao to give an explanation.

The two brothers hurried back to Xiangyang City in a hurry, and before going to the general's mansion, Kuai Yue did not forget to turn around and tell the housekeeper, "You go to support the stewards of each room first, if you don't see us come back, then publicize this matter, I want to see if he stays in this Jingxiang land!" ”

"The old slave will do it!"

Soon, the two brothers came to the gate of the General's Mansion, and they happened to meet Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.

After entering, they found that Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai and his brothers were already waiting there, and the faces of the three of them were full of devouring anger.

"What about Cao Cao?" Kuai Yue asked directly.

Before Cai Mao could answer, he saw Cao Cao hurriedly running out of the inner hall, "The head of the Pang family, the head of the Huang family, the different degrees, Deju, I have just learned about the theft of the ancestral tombs of your four major families, you can rest assured, dare to do this thing under my rule, even if all the troops are dispatched, I will find out this group of people!" ”

Looking at Cao Cao's unaware appearance, several people wanted to act quite similarly.

Huang Chengyan snorted coldly, raised his forehead and said coldly: "General Cao is going to catch it, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it in this life." ”

"What does the Huang family master mean by this, could it be that he has doubts about Cao's ability?" Cao Cao asked with a blank expression.

"The thief shouts to catch the thief, what else do you catch?" Pang Degong stared at Cao Cao viciously.

"It's not easy to talk nonsense, the head of the Pang family must know that sometimes rumors can kill people!" Although Cao Cao carried his hands on his back, he could hold his head high and not be frightened at all.

"I heard that General Cao has a team of captains who are good at digging graves and funding the military, isn't this the fault of General Cao?" Even Kuai Yue opened his mouth and was no longer called the lord.

The people standing in this general's mansion are all existences on the land of Jingxiang that are enough to call for wind and rain, and a few people join forces like this, even if Xu Chu stands behind Cao Cao, they are not afraid at all in terms of momentum.

Dare to ask for the guilt with such fanfare, in addition to being really annoyed, you also need to do it for the clansmen.

If the ancestral grave is dug up, but as the head of the family, there is no movement, then I am afraid that I will have to consider a replacement.

"Xenodu, are you saying this out of thin air, or someone is spreading rumors to you, if you are confused, I will not pursue your false words, but if you only rely on the suspicion in your heart to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, then you don't take me Cao Cao too seriously!" Cao Cao's eyes flickered, and he took out the momentum of the human master, looking back at all the vicious eyes.

"Do you want proof?"

Kuai Yue snorted coldly, took out the gold touch talisman from his arms, and slapped it on the table, "What do you say about the gold touching thing found in the ancestral tomb of the Kuai family!" ”

Subsequently, Cai Mao and Pang Degong also threw a gold talisman on the table.

Huang Chengyan held the golden talisman in his hand, and wanted to put it but didn't put it down, because at this time, he also realized that something was wrong.

Cao Cao's acting skills are still quite in place, he first picked up a gold talisman and checked it, and frowned and said, "It is indeed the one owned by the captain of the gold school."

Then he said bitterly: "Everyone, I can't hide it, in the early years, because of military funding problems, Cao did set up a team of Jinjin captains, but it was later disbanded.

What's more, when it was formed, the cemetery that was excavated was always in the Spring and Autumn Period, how could it be possible to start with the ancestral grave of the family?

, no matter how crazy you are, you can't do anything like this, right? ”

Several people looked at each other, perhaps because everyone took out a gold talisman, and they themselves realized the problem, but this alone seemed to be unable to completely let go.

Cao Cao looked at them with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "You are all talented people in the world, can you think about it seriously, if I really do it, can I leave this kind of mark in your ancestral tomb?"

Even if someone accidentally leaves it behind, is it too ridiculous to leave all four ancestral tombs? ”

This is the most unreasonable part of the whole thing, this kind of identification object, leaving one is actually very undesirable, how can it be left in every ancestral tomb, it is obvious that someone deliberately left it.

The people who can stand here have some brains, but they didn't discuss it with each other when they were dizzy at first, but now that they see this situation, they have actually reacted in their hearts.

"Got it, I got it." Cao Cao shook his head in pain.

"What does the lord understand?" It's still Kuai Liang's quick response, and before things are clear, don't change the name.

"After the dismissal of the school captain, their gold touching talisman should have fallen on the school field in Xuchang, and someone wanted to kill me."

Cao Cao didn't say who it was, but the stunned expressions on the faces of those present spoke for themselves.

Captain Touching Jin was dismissed in Xuchang, so Touching Jin Fu may have been left in Xuchang, and Xuchang is now occupied by Lu Lin, and there is no need to say more about who did it.

"What does the lord mean is that Lu Lin did this and intends to blame the lord?" Probably, the one with the longest reaction arc belongs to Cai Mao, who thinks slowly, and has to verify it after thinking about it.

Cao Cao didn't answer him, but turned and took a few steps back, and then bowed to them.

"My lord, why is this?" Kuai Liang hurriedly stepped forward to help, and now, he has fully reacted, this matter is indeed someone who used the four major families to disintegrate Cao Cao from the inside, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I make amends to you, and though I have done it, it is because of me."

Cao Cao's face was sad, and his tone was choked, "You should have all received the letters from those bamboo slips that have been floating on the river recently, I thought that Lin Mo's attack would end here, who would have thought that he would do such a desperate thing."

If it weren't for wanting to bring me down, he wouldn't have attacked the ancestral graves of your four major families, and in the final analysis, I also have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter. ”

If there is eighty percent of the doubts about this matter just now, in this way, they have completely believed Cao Cao, because the cause and effect of the matter are indeed right.

Lin Mo has always been accustomed to attacking the heart, first using the bamboo tube to shake Jingxiang's civil and military affairs, and then immediately using grave digging to further intensify the internal contradictions, but it was a good move.

"My lord, I am stupid, and I ask my lord to forgive me for the sin of lying and talking!" How fierce it was just now, how well-behaved it is now, Kuai Yue directly knelt on one knee and shook it, and even turned his face to the side.

Cai Mao, Cai Zhong, Cai He and Kuai Liang also followed, and Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan also made amends.

On the premise that this matter has nothing to do with Cao Cao, he can still explain so patiently, and finally take the responsibility on himself, and his perception of him in his heart has indeed improved greatly unconsciously.

"Xenodu, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is Lin Mo's victimization."

Cao Cao pulled Kuai Yue up and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I will definitely make decisions for you in this matter, Lin Mo, I will make him pay." ”

"Lin Mo is also a genius, but he didn't expect to be so shameless when he started things!"

"He can use our four major families, and he is not tired of cheating, but he shouldn't dig our ancestral grave, Lin Mo and I don't share the sky!"

"Don't worry, from now on, the Kuai family will wholeheartedly assist and help the lord break the thief!"

What the future holds, no one knows.

But at this moment, the anger in the minds of the four major families has reached its peak, just to dissociate, he actually dug up the ancestral graves of the four major families in one go, and he seems to be too blind.

"Lord, lord!"

While chatting in the hall, Cheng Yu strode in, and when he saw this battle, he stopped talking.

Cao Cao immediately waved his hand and said: "There are no outsiders here, you can say anything directly!" ”

Cheng Yu hesitated for a moment, and just as Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan were thinking about retreating, he finally spoke, "My lord, all the pensions for the soldiers who died in the Yizhou Rebellion have been distributed, plus the pensions paid in the First World War in the Central Plains, the treasury has no money to supervise the ordnance of this autumn's war, and this is not counting the amount of grain and grass preparations."

Hearing this, Cao Cao sighed, "I'll find a way." ”

Then he regained his relaxed smile, and said to a few people: "Okay guys, this matter is related to me after all, I will ask people to repair the ancestral tombs for the four major families, and I will be busy with official business, so I will not accompany you." ”

With that, he turned to leave.

"Slow down!"

Kuai Yue, who felt the most guilty, immediately stopped Cao Cao, "The matter of preparing grain and grass should be relieved after the autumn harvest, and there is no need to be anxious, but the creation of ordnance is related to the victory and defeat, and it is urgent." ”

Kuai Yue glanced at Kuai Liang, and when he saw that the latter was acquiescing, he continued: "The Kuai family is willing to support the lord with 30 million dollars to build weapons!" ”

"Xenomorph, Zirou"

Cao Cao was moved and didn't know what to do, but he just pulled one in one hand, and his eyes flashed.

For Kuai Yue, his personality is more reckless, whether it is the beginning of the Xingshi questioning, or the later reparation for the crime, it is what he thinks is what he does.

But Kuai Liang didn't think so, on the contrary, his mind was much deeper.

Today, the four major families came to this general's mansion to make trouble, and it will definitely spread soon, even if Cao Cao doesn't respond in his heart now, who can guarantee that he will remember the old grudge after a long time.

If you are wrong, you must show an attitude of admitting your mistake, so that externally, you can also give Cao Cao a step down.

What's more, after this incident, it is already impossible for the four major families to switch to Lu Lin, and each of them needs to go back to the family to explain, and there must always be an explanation for the upper and lower levels.

Of course, 30 million money is a huge amount of money, but it is public and private, and now they all hope that Cao Cao will win Lu Lin, so if they don't contribute now, how long will they wait.

"Lord, the Cai family is willing to support 50 million yuan!" It was probably Kuai Yue's actions that reminded him that Cai Mao was arrogant and spent a lot of money.

Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan did not speak, it can be seen that they have this idea in their hearts, but they all have their own concerns, one is Pang Tong under Lu Lin, and the other is a son-in-law under Liu Bei, and they are definitely not as vigorous as the Cai family and the Kuai family.

"General Cao, if there is anyone who needs help in the future, just ask, the Huang family will not be stingy with what they can do."

"The same is true of decay."

The two old foxes did a lot of Tai Chi.

But Cao Cao didn't mind this at all, because the actions of the Kuai family and the Cai family had greatly alleviated his financial crisis.

They don't vomit now, and Cao Cao is confident that there will be a way to make them spit out gold coins in the future.

"It's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. I will keep in mind your kindness to me, and I will also remember Lu Lin's disdainful behavior towards the four major families.

In a word, from now on, Cao is willing to share the glory and disgrace with the four major families! ”

Of course, Cao Cao is painting a big cake when he says this, but this weight is really not light, as if he has already taken them as team members to dig out his heart.

"The lord and the general are serious." The people of the four major families worked together.

The atmosphere has come to this, and the big guys naturally have a lot more words in their hearts, seeing that the big guys have no intention of leaving for a while, Cao Cao couldn't sit still, and immediately looked at Cheng Yu.

"The ancestral graves of the four major families have been dug up by Lin Mo, you quickly go and arrange personnel to repair them, and I will go to the ancestral grave with them on the day of the memorial service!"

"Whoa!" It was very happy, but Cheng Yu did not leave.

But this sentence woke up the people of the four major families, yes, the ancestral grave is still drying, and the people of the family are also gearing up one by one to go back and explain, so they say goodbye one by one.

After sending everyone away, Cao Cao breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

This thing is really dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will set yourself on fire.

Thankfully, the bet was right.

Cao Cao put his hands on Cheng Yu's shoulders and said earnestly: "Zhongde, thanks to you this time, thanks to you, we can finally get through the current crisis." ”

Cao Cao was very excited in his heart, not only because he had made the right bet, but because the follow-up effects of this incident would last.

The tomb robbery incident is basically equivalent to cutting off the possibility of the rebellion of the four major families, and at the same time, the four major families must always have an explanation for such a big matter, whether Lin Mo admits it or not, he has to bear the black cauldron.

In this way, the bamboo tube reward strategy he used before could easily be dismantled, and Cao Cao no longer had to worry about the instability of his subordinates.

As for money and food, the Kuai family took out 30 million, and the Cai family took out 50 million, is it much?

In fact, it's not much at all, behind them is the entire family, and this amount of money is not a matter at all for the four major families behind the Jingxiang land.

But what Cao Cao values is their attitude, as long as they take the lead in loosening their mouths, the grass on the wall below will inevitably swarm with them, and the problem of money will definitely be solved smoothly.

I don't dare to say it far away, but the armor and weapons, grain and grass warships of this autumn's war, these will be solved smoothly.

Cheng Yu's poison is really vicious, even at the beginning, Cao Cao was reluctant to do this, the gambling was too big, once the news leaked, with the appeal of the four major families, he could even besiege Xiangyang City.

This is a game that gambles on the life of the family, but it is also a big win.

Killing three birds with one stone.

Even if he sorted out the whole plan again, Cao Cao was still stunned by Cheng Yu's plan.

"If you can worry about the Lord." Cheng Yu's heart is still very warm.

"Let's go, drink with me!"

Cao Cao pulled Cheng Yu to the inside, and said with a smile: "Since Feng Xiao left, I haven't been so happy for a long time!" ”

Cao Cao was really happy, he knew that next, he could prepare for the post-autumn war with peace of mind.

It's almost now, less than two months.

No matter how much Lin Mo wants to cause trouble, it will be difficult to get the effect in the short term.

Now, Cao Cao is looking forward to the next big battle.
