Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 3
"What... does this have to do with what happened last night?"

Hearing this, Cao Ting frowned even tighter.

Zhou Feng unconsciously tightened the clothes on his body, while swallowing his saliva, he moved closer to Cao Ting's side calmly.

"Don't dare to hide from the military officer, we met the 'Ghost Blowing Lamp' last night!"

Wu Liang clasped his fists, and continued to maintain a low voice, "After we were ordered to enter the mausoleum, we reached the end not long after, and were blocked by two stone gates. The head of the village ordered us to push the gate together, but the stone gate did not move at all. Chang Fu had no choice but to divide his troops into two groups, continue to break through the door all the way, and spread out to search for other entrances along the way..."

Speaking of this, seeing the two people stretching their necks and listening intently, Wu Liang suddenly raised the volume and shouted loudly: "Suddenly!!!"

"what……"

Immediately, Zhou Feng let out a scream, and subconsciously hugged Cao Ting's arm.

"bass!"

Cao Ting was better at first, but suddenly being caught by Zhou Feng in such a way, he was also startled and picked up the saber on the table, and even pulled out an inch to be fully on guard.

"..."

As a result, nothing happened.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, and a few crows could be vaguely heard "wah-wah" from outside the tent.

Cao Ti turned his head and gave Zhou Feng a blank look, shook his arm and shook off Zhou Feng's little hand that had no place to rest, then turned his face and shouted to Wu Liang angrily: "Speak as you speak, don't be surprised again! "

Wu Liang was very satisfied with the reaction of the two of them. While thinking to himself that he didn't practice in vain when he told ghost stories to coax girls into his arms, he answered yes with a low eyebrow, held back his laughter and continued, "Suddenly There were bursts of whimpering, like someone was singing in a low voice, or a call from afar. At that time, we only felt that our scalps were numb, and the hairs on our bodies stood upside down one by one, and we stood still and did not dare to act rashly... At this moment !!!”

"!!!"

Zhou Feng's cheeks trembled, and he hugged Cao Ting's arm again.

Seeing that Cao Ting was already gnashing his teeth and opening his eyes to scold, Wu Liang suppressed a smile, but he also knew the truth that the matter was nothing more than three, so he hurriedly continued: "Phew! It's like being in the twelfth lunar month of winter, the cold air is coming out from the bones, and the torch in your hand is completely blown out!"

"At this time, people were already afraid, so they told the head of the village about the rumor of 'ghost blowing the lamp' and proposed to withdraw from the tomb, but the head of the village was concerned about the military order and refused, so we had to search for other entrances in the dark in two groups. Knowing that my companion and I had just walked for a while, there was a scream behind me. I wanted to look back, but I was restrained by an unknown force and couldn't move. After a while, I lost consciousness, and when I woke up, I was already here. "

At this point, Wu Liang finally ended the horror story session.

As for the fact that he was attacked by his companions, Wu Liang didn't mention a word.

The main reason is to stabilize the mastermind who wants to murder him, so as not to startle the enemy, so as to buy time and opportunity for himself to make a long-term plan.

After all, the slave has already died, and there is no proof for saying anything.

"Um……"

At this time, Cao Zhi's eyebrows were already twisted into knots.

He said in his heart that if it was really a "ghost blowing the lamp", no matter how many people were sent into the tomb, they would die in vain, but with the secret order in his body, it is impossible for him to withdraw the troops lightly, so what should he do?

at this time.

"What nonsense!"

Zhou Feng, who was obedient while listening to the story, suddenly struck out with a heavy fist, pointing at Wu Liang and shouting loudly, "Wu Liang, what is your intention to disturb the audience with your alarmist talk?"

Is there an omission?
Wu Liang was startled, but after careful recollection, he realized that there seemed to be no loopholes in the story he just told, so he clasped his fists and asked a little nervously, "Why did Uncle Zhou make such a statement?"

"We were excavating King Liang Xiao's tomb under the secret order of the envoy Cao, but you threatened the army to withdraw quickly with the remarks of 'ghost blowing the lamp'. What is it if it is not disturbing the audience?"

Zhou Feng's voice was sharp, and he clasped his fists to Cao Zhi, and said respectfully: "The military marquis doesn't know something, this man is called Wu Liang, he was originally a deserter, he was saved from death only by pleading for mercy, and he was relegated to the slavery of our people. Army, this kind of person will dare to say anything in order to survive, and his words are not credible."

"What's more, everyone died last night and only he lived alone. This is the biggest doubt."

"The general suspects that this person was very likely to be a deserter last night and survived. He just ignored the overall situation and deliberately fabricated the lie of 'ghost blowing the lamp' If you deceive the military officer, your heart will be punished!"

After hearing these words, Wu Liang felt relieved.

Daring Zhou Feng didn't find any loopholes in his own story, but simply questioned the "talented brother"'s black history as an excuse to achieve his goal of revenge.

The lethality of this kind of doubt is really limited, not to mention that Wu Liang has other plans in mind.

As a master of archaeology, he has a lot of research on history, and he has selected some relevant historical facts just through the years in the memory of "talented brother":
In the spring of the fourth year of Chuping, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu and defeated Tao Qian and captured more than ten cities in Xuzhou, barely gaining a foothold in the Central Plains.

In the autumn of the same year, which is now, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was killed by Tao Qian's troops. Cao Cao was angry and attacked Tao Qian again, but soon after the food and grass ran out, he had to withdraw his troops...

It was precisely because of this failure that Cao Cao missed a good opportunity. Lu Bu took the opportunity to capture Yanzhou during the three expeditions to Xuzhou in the summer of the following year, but when he returned to rescue Yanzhou, the plague of locusts raged, the crisis of food and grass became more serious, and even cannibalism appeared. However, Cao Cao almost fell into a desperate situation and became Yuan Shao's prisoner.

So... Cao Cao sent people to excavate Liang Xiaowang's tomb at this time in order to replenish food and stabilize the war situation?
In fact, Cao Cao's excavation of Liang Xiaowang's tomb has been recorded in history books, but the details and time seem to be slightly different from what he knew and learned.

There is a saying in "For Yuan Shao Yuzhou": the generals and officials came to the excavation in person, broke the coffin and naked corpses, and plundered gold treasures.It made the Holy Dynasty shed tears and the scholars and people were sad.

There is also a saying in "Shui Jing Zhu Shu": Cao led troops into Dang, sent Liang Xiaowang's tomb, broke the coffin, and collected tens of thousands of catties of gold and treasure.

In these historical materials, it is clearly mentioned that the tomb of King Liang Xiao was excavated by Cao Cao himself, but the person who brought people to Dangshan to excavate this time was not Cao Cao himself, but a military officer named "Cao Zhi".

In addition, there is another doubt.

"Payment to Yuzhou for Yuan Shao" also mentioned: "Cao also specially set up the general of Faqiu Zhonglang, the captain of Mojin Xiaowei, and all the accidents and accidents that have passed, all of which are not exposed."

But now the army that came to excavate Liang Xiaowang's tomb is called "Huanren Army", and the leading rank is not a Zhonglang general or a school lieutenant, but a mere military marquis.

This question is relatively easy to understand. After all, the "Huanren Army" has just been established, and Cao Cao may not have recruited skilled tomb robbers to lead the army, so there is no such official position for the time being.

In other words, now is the time when Cao Cao is employing people...

However, one thing is certain. Historically, this excavation by the Tuan Army was not successful, at least not in time.

Otherwise, if the "tens of thousands of catties of gold and treasure" were collected, Cao Cao's crusade would definitely not be forced to withdraw his troops because of the exhaustion of food and grass, so that he would miss a good opportunity...

That is to say.

Whether the excavation of Liang Xiaowang's tomb is successful or not should be of great strategic significance to Cao Cao.

If Wu Liang can play a pivotal role in it, it is possible to enter Cao Cao's sight in advance, and maybe he will be reused.

As long as he can hug the "big thick leg" of the future Prime Minister Cao, life will be much easier in the future, at least his life will be safe.

Now that he had thought of this level, Wu Liang would not sit still and wait for death, and immediately said before Cao Ting could react: "Mr. Marquis, everything that the villain said is true. There is only one thing that has not been clarified yet."

"What's the matter?"

Cao Ti directly skipped Zhou Feng's insistence, and asked with a blank expression.

But Wu Liang continued to clasped his fists and said: "The military marquis doesn't know, the villain's ancestors are shamans (similar to psychics) in the same line. Unfortunately, when he came to the villain's place, he didn't know why he couldn't do jitong. Therefore, the inheritance was broken and the family fortune was ruined. fall."

"It's just a trick of good fortune. Last night when the villain was in a coma, he was inexplicably enlightened. The tomb owner's upper body was taken aback for a while. Because of this, he accidentally saw the mechanisms in the tomb clearly, and even became familiar with the tomb owner's preferences." Take it to heart."

"If the military marquis orders the villain to enter Liang Xiaowang's tomb again, the villain will definitely be able to seek good luck and avoid evil, and succeed in one fell swoop!"
