Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 25
This project has no technical content.

Although Wu Liang was the person in charge in name, in fact he only had a brief exchange with the head of the village, and the head of the village understood what he meant and led the people to work.

Now everyone in the Huan army knows that Wu Liang has made a great contribution.

In addition, Cao Ting regards him very highly, and there are even rumors that after returning this time, Cao Ting may give him the post of general marshal, so everyone will be very polite to him, and the orders are passed on and executed quite smoothly. .

As for the rumor...

Most likely it was from Chen Jinshui's big mouths, because they were the only six of them present when Cao Ting said these words.

After the arrangements were made, it was rare for Wu Liang to relax.

Walking alone in the sleeping garden, I finally had time to think about the mysterious small drum.

Combined with the records about King Liang Xiao in "Historical Records", Wu Liang still feels that the snare drum has a lot to do with the strange cow with feet on its back. Maybe the drum head and strap of the snare drum are made of the hide of the strange cow. .

And that strange cow must not be a vulgar thing!

Again, if it is just ordinary animal skin, it is absolutely impossible to maintain the softness and toughness of new leather after such a long time.

"Bull...cow...cow..."

Following this clue, Wu Liang closed his eyes and searched all the historical legends and allusions related to cattle that he knew in his mind.

After a long time.

"Kui (kui twice) cow?"

Wu Liang opened his eyes suddenly, and finally found an answer that he thought was relatively close.

Such a strange beast is recorded in "Shan Hai Jing Da Huang Jing", which is called "Kui Niu".

Kui Niu looks like an ox but has only one foot. It is blue in color and has no horns on its head. An extremely rare ancient beast.

According to legend, there are only three Kui oxen in the world.

The first Kui ox was caught by the Yellow Emperor, skinned to make a war drum, and boned to make a drumstick. It is said that the sound of this drum can travel more than 500 miles. The soldiers of the Yellow Emperor's tribe were excited when they heard the drum , very courageous, but Chi You's tribe was terrified, so the world was at peace;

The second Kui Niu was found by Qin Shihuang. He also wanted to follow the example of the Yellow Emperor in the past and use Tiangu to boost morale, so as to conquer the six kingdoms, conquer the world, and unify China, so he also killed Kui Niu and made it into a drum. After it was made, the knocking effect was unsatisfactory for some reason, and it was destroyed by him in a rage;
Since then, only one Kui Niu remained.

However, after more than 21 years of history from Qin Shihuang to the 2000st century when Wu Liang lived, there has been no clue about the Kui Niu, as if the third Kui Niu disappeared out of thin air, which is confusing.

The reason why Wu Liang linked the mysterious snare drum with Kui Niu was mainly based on three points:
First, the drumhead of the mysterious snare drum does have a little blue color. At first he thought it was caused by a special tanning technique, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

But now it seems that it is indeed somewhat similar to the color of Kui Niu's fur.

And the shape is also open to question. There are some similarities between a cow with a foot on its back and a cow with one foot;
Second, we still have to talk about "Historical Records".

As a long biographical general history, "Historical Records" records a history of more than 3000 years from the age of the Yellow Emperor in ancient legends to the four years of Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty. There are many people and deeds in it.

Therefore, if it is an insignificant matter, it is definitely not qualified to be recorded in "Historical Records".

However, the story of this strange cow with feet was recorded in it. Does this also prove from another aspect that this strange cow actually has a lot of background, but Sima Qian didn't write it down in detail, or because of some kind of Didn't dare to write down the reason?
After all, as far as Wu Liang knew, although Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu had never been emperor, he had always had the heart of being emperor.

And for this reason, he also ordered people to assassinate more than a dozen important court officials who opposed his proclaiming emperor. The then emperor Hanjing Emperor Liu Qi was furious when he learned of this, and Liu Wu had to order his counselors to commit suicide. The scene of suspended animation finally escaped the death penalty, but since then, it has been difficult to escape the resentment of Han Jingdi Liu Qi...

And not long after that, someone presented Liu Wu with a strange cow with legs on its back.

Not long after, Liu Wu suddenly contracted a fever and died suddenly.

Assuming that the strange cow is Kui Niu, just imagine that such an ambitious person, after discovering Kui Niu, would kill it and make it into a drum in order to rule the world, wouldn't it be a matter of course?

Let's talk about conspiracy theory again. After Han Jingdi Liu Qi learned about Kui Niu, he found that Liu Wu's determination to proclaim himself emperor was not dead, so he immediately tried to kill him to avoid future troubles. Isn't it a matter of course?
As for how it is recorded in "Historical Records"...

History has always been dominated by the ruling class. Sima Qian was a minister of the Western Han Dynasty, and this incident was a scandal that the royal family did not want to make public.
Third, after the sound of the Kui Niu drum made by the Yellow Emperor, it can not only boost the morale of the soldiers under his command, but also frighten the Chiyou tribe. It seems to be somewhat similar to his previous drumming in the tomb.

As for why he can't boost morale like Huangdi...

Qin Shihuang is a good example of this. Didn't the Kui Niu drum he made also fail to play such a role?
According to Wu Liang's analysis, perhaps the three Kui oxen have different characteristics, so the drums made also have different characteristics.

Or the effect of this drum may be related to the person who uses it. This is an artifact that can be "upgraded". If you compare and analyze the Yellow Emperor and Qin Shihuang, it may be that the more benevolent and noble the person uses it, the greater the power.

How exactly is yet to be further verified.

But one thing is for sure, this small drum can indeed deter J, and this ability-like characteristic is enough to prove the unusualness of the mysterious small drum, but I don’t know if it can also deter other wild beasts and fierce beasts...

……

Just as Wu Liang was thinking about it.

"This short-lived ghost who suffered a thousand knives, how can He De be so lucky, even Cao Ting regards him so highly!"

Punching hard on the ruined wall, Zhou Feng looked at Wu Liang's back with hatred, and cursed as if chewing his bones.

"If Cao Tin intends to give way to Wu Liang, wouldn't this person be able to ride on my head and dominate me from now on? A mere deserter, slavery like a dog? Is it tolerable or unbearable!"

"Tonight!"

"Just tonight!"

"Look at my little plan tonight, I will commit a heinous crime to you. Don't talk about Cao Ting then, even Cao De (Cao Ting's father) will not be able to save you if he speaks in person!"

After scolding, Zhou Feng finally felt a little better, glanced at Wu Liang again, walked towards the military tent with a sneer.

After Zhou Feng left for a long time, a sneaky figure came out from behind the ruined wall on tiptoe:

"I didn't expect to hear such a secret thing in a shit. I'm really a noble man with a talented brother. This time, I should be able to pay back my life first."

　Send it out early to ask for recommendations, collections, and rewards.
