Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 195 Borrowing a knife to kill (4000)

When starting again.

The Tuan army had uniformly put on the black robes of the "yin soldiers", and each was equipped with a captured bronze mask, but they didn't wear it on their faces for the time being, just in case they were needed.

This is naturally what Wu Liang meant.

From now on, as long as it is night, the Huan army will turn into Yin soldiers of "Shou Cao Dao".

In this way, if they encounter other "yin soldiers" teams, they will be regarded as their own, and conflicts can be avoided with a high probability.

The "Shou Cao Dao" seems to have no other armed forces except the Yin soldiers, which means that during the day, the Huan army will basically not be threatened by the "Shou Cao Dao", at least not by the "Yin soldiers". " threat.

But even so, Wu Liang still won't take it lightly.

Now "Shou Cao Dao" is searching for supplies with all possible means. In the eyes of those poor and brainwashed believers, the carriages and supplies accompanied by the Huren Army are just a big piece of walking fat.

If Han Cheng can keep an eye on them tonight, then other people can also follow them.

It may not be what will happen next time, after all, this place is also near the main altar of "Shou Cao Dao", and it is possible to meet believers of "Shou Cao Dao" everywhere.

In the eyes of these believers, they are heretics who can be sacrificed at any time...

Therefore, before confirming that the tomb was found, Wu Liang planned to hide the Tuan army and the accompanying carriages and supplies first, so as to reduce the risk of the trip.

with this thought.

While Wu Liang led the Tuan army along the small road towards the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu, he kept ordering Yang Wanli and the others to disperse into the nearby dense forests and valleys to find suitable hiding places. The walking speed was not fast.

So about an hour later.

Yang Wanli finally brought him some good news: "My lord, we found a valley two miles away from here. There are cliffs on both sides of this valley to shelter from the wind and rain, and it is surrounded by dense forests. It is impossible to see the situation in the valley while walking on this path, and no signs of human activities have been found, so it is a good hiding place."

"How far is it from here to the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu?"

Wu Liang asked.

"Roughly estimated, it should be less than ten miles away."

Yang Wanli estimated it and said.

"Okay, lead the way ahead, let's take a look at the geomantic treasure you mentioned first."

Wu Liang nodded.

It's less than ten miles... If you walk, it's less than an hour's journey, which is completely acceptable.

As long as the Huan army and supplies can be settled properly, relying on this hiding place, the Huan army can pretend to be refugees and act separately.

While going to the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu to check the situation, go to the surrounding villages and towns and even Qiancheng County to inquire about folk rumors about Duke Ai of Qi or the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu.

As for the weird thing Han Cheng said before...

Wu Liang felt that it should be true, because Han Cheng had no need to lie about this matter at all, but it was hard to say exactly what caused that strange thing to happen.

Take the two unlucky ghosts in Han Cheng's mouth as an example.

In fact, there are no eyewitnesses who can prove that the two people entered the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu. The villagers' statement is just speculation based on their appearance.

So it's really hard to say what's going on now.

In short, just be careful when exploring.

No matter what the situation was, Wu Liang didn't want his people to be harmed, let alone die here.

……

Soon after.

The Huan army reached the valley where Yang Wanli was located with great difficulty.

In some places where the carriages could not pass, the soldiers of the Tuan Army unloaded the supplies from the carriages, and then untied the horses, and hid the bare carriages with local materials.

Then lead the horse or carry the supplies by yourself.

At this time, the advantage of the number of people is reflected, and it is still feasible for fifty people to carry the materials on nine carriages.

of course.

It is precisely because this valley is not easy to walk, that Wu Liang is more and more satisfied with this hiding place.

In this way, ordinary people would not go to such a place to hang out, and naturally there would be no way to find the whereabouts of the Huan army, which was exactly what Wu Liang wanted.

"This place is really nice."

After entering the valley, Wu Liang observed around and found that the environment basically conformed to Yang Wanli's description, and the terrain in the valley was relatively flat, so he nodded with a smile, and ordered to the soldiers of the Huan army, "You can set up camp. Well, we've been living here lately."

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Tuan army got busy one after another, those who set up camp set up camp, and those who lit the fire.

Wu Liang called Yang Wanli aside again, and made the next arrangement: "After dawn, take a few smart people to investigate the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu and see what's going on there. Is there anything irrelevant?" If someone is in the way, let's inquire about the scope of activities of the 'Shou Cao Dao'."

"Yes!"

Yang Wanli responded.

"In addition, you must pay attention to safety. If you find anything strange in the ruins of the ancient city, or encounter any special circumstances, you must not act without authorization. Come back and report to me before making a decision. Do you understand?"

Wu Liang added in a very solemn way.

"clear."

Yang Wanli responded again, and then said with a shy smile, "My lord, let me say something that shouldn't be said, do you know what is the biggest difference between you and other generals?"

"what?"

Wu Liang glanced at him.

"Other generals regard the lives of soldiers as a tool for gaining merit. Only you regard the lives of soldiers as human lives. In this alone, no one can compare with you."

Yang Wanli's expression suddenly became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "When I followed you, it was undoubtedly the most correct decision I made in my life..."

"Go away, go away, hypocritical!"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Liang had already interrupted him, shivering and turning around to warm his hands with his "Miss Jingjing".

……

The next day.

Near noon, Yang Wanli, who had gone out to inquire about the news, finally rushed back and reported the news to Wu Liang carefully.

Now he has confirmed that their hiding place is actually only six or seven miles away from the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu.

This is much closer than the estimated distance last night.

And the ancient city of Qidu is indeed as Han Cheng said, there is only a ruined wall left at this moment.

However, about [-]% of the overall architectural structure has been preserved, and one can roughly see the scale and pattern of the ancient city thousands of years ago. Even among the ruins, some broken pottery and paint shards can be seen.

In addition, the ruins are already overgrown with weeds, and thick trees have grown in some places.

The rhizomes of the trees deformed the bricks and stones that had been neatly laid underground, and even turned them up in some places, further destroying the architectural structure in the ancient city ruins.

As for the evil story that Han Cheng said, it didn't happen.

Otherwise, Yang Wanli should not say a word when he came back this time, and he might not even know Wu Liang, so how could he report?
Besides.

Yang Wanli has also ascertained the situation of "Shou Cao Dao".

Now the main altar of "Shou Cao Dao" is indeed in Qiancheng County, and believers are indeed mainly active in Qiancheng County. Even the county magistrate is also a believer of Shou Cao Dao, which not only opens the door for Shou Cao Dao However, Shou Caodao did not care about what the government did.

Several big households in the city are also deeply related to Shou Cao Dao.

As for those big households and ordinary people who have no relationship with Shou Cao Dao, either their homes have been confiscated, or they are poor and worthless to Shou Cao Dao.

you could put it that way.

Now Qiancheng County is full of smog. In this county, the status of "Shoucao Dao" is much higher than that of the government. He alone has the final say.

In addition, Yang Wanli discovered a shocking thing in Qiancheng County.

The "Great Sage Heavenly Master" actually claimed that if a virgin who has reached the age of ten is broken under his single-casting spell, the name can be transferred from the "death register" to the "shoucao" first, not only that he will live forever At the age of [-], even the family members can receive the grace of God, and they will be rich, healthy and prolong their lives since then.

Therefore, believers in "Shou Cao Dao" actually scrambled to send their unmarried daughters to the general altar to beg the "great virtuous master" for mercy.

Yang Wanli and others saw with their own eyes a pair of parents beating and scolding their young daughter, dragging them to the main altar. The crying of the little girl was heard far away. Someone stepped forward to persuade the little girl to obey...

"..."

Hearing this, Wu Liang was completely speechless.

He has nothing to say about this so-called "Shou Cao Dao", especially this "Great Worthy Celestial Master".

There was such a silence for a while.

"Jingjing, go and fetch Fei Nu."

Wu Liang turned his head and said to Bai Jingjing, who had clenched her fists tightly and didn't know what was going on in her little head.

"Uh, oh!"

Bai Jingjing was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses, and hurried to do it.

When she came back again, Wu Liang had already written the same few lines on three pieces of silk:

"The Huan army marched to the territory of Qiancheng County, Le'an Country, Qingzhou
Trapped by Shou Cao Dao

Shoucao Dao gathered thousands of people in the county
quick help"

"Release the three flying slaves."

Handing the three pieces of silk to Bai Jingjing, Wu Liang instructed.

These Fei Nus would soon send the news to his house in Chenliu. When Chen Jinshui and others saw the news that Fei Nu was tied to his leg, they would definitely seek to see Cheng Yu as soon as possible.

Now that Chen Liu and Juancheng have established a Feinu communication network, Cheng Yu will surely pass the news to Boss Cao who is temporarily living in Juancheng in the shortest possible time.

Boss Cao will definitely send troops to rescue immediately.

Because Wu Liang has an irreplaceable role for him, and it is an extremely important role.

Just relying on the mob of Shoucao Dao, once the battle-hardened Cao army arrives, it will definitely be in a state of destruction, and it will not take much effort to uproot them.

This so-called "Great Sage Heavenly Master" cannot escape death.

As for those believers who have been brainwashed.

Wu Liang had already thought about their fate, and those fanatical rebels among them would also have a dead end.

The rest of the believers, with Boss Cao's method, will probably treat them like the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and force them into an army to join the battlefield.

In this way, it can be regarded as a disguised form of recruiting soldiers for Boss Cao.

So be it.

Many of those believers have lost their brains and humanity, and are not much different from the insensitive walking dead. Instead of letting them stay here to harm others and their own wives and daughters, it is better to let them vent their excess energy on the battlefield , In the next life, I will be a person with a brain.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

After reading the words on the silk, Bai Jingjing was taken aback for a moment, and then she smiled in surprise, "But you are still a scoundrel as always, and you thought of this way to get rid of Shou Caodao with the help of Cao Jun, so that , that great virtuous celestial master who suffered a thousand swords will undoubtedly die!"

"Who told me that you and Jingjing have a good understanding."

Wu Liang laughed.

"Hmph! Who has a tacit understanding with you..."

On the contrary, Bai Jingjing became arrogant, snorted and happily ran to the side to release Fei Nu.

……

Apart from the above, Yang Wanli did not find any other valuable news.

As for the ruins of the ancient city of Qidu, it is no different from what Han Cheng said before.

As for the matter of Duke Ai of Qi, even the people who know about this person are very limited, not to mention the tomb where he was buried in secret, and no rumors have been found at all.

Wu Liang didn't feel disappointed either.

He first greeted everyone to make a fire and make a meal, and after they were full, they took some tools for exploring the tomb, took Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing, Yang Wanli, Yu Ji and the three soldiers who had gone with Yang Wanli to inquire about the news and set off for Qidu in person Ancient city ruins.

Everyone talked and laughed along the way, but the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.

So about half an hour later.

A long-abandoned ancient city appeared in front of Wu Liang and others.

The outermost one is the city wall of the ancient city, but now the city wall is an earthen wall less than 2 meters high, and the top is covered with withered yellow weeds. Some stubborn dry grasses are trembling slightly in the cold wind, and there are many The place has collapsed.

Even so, the majesty and grandeur of this palace can still be imagined through the scale of this city wall.

"Yang Wanli, when you entered the ancient city early in the morning, where did you explore?"

Standing in front of the city wall, Wu Liangzai looked at it carefully and asked.

"..."

Yang Wanli, who had been very talkative before, did not give any answer at this moment for some reason.

"Yang Wanli?"

Wu Liang turned around in surprise.

His articulation has always been relatively clear, and his voice just now was not low, there is no reason why Yang Wanli couldn't hear him.

Moreover, Dian Wei, Bai Jingjing and Yu Ji had already heard his words, and they were looking back at Yang Wanli in doubt at the moment, which proved that the problem was indeed not with Wu Liang, but with Yang Wanli.

It doesn't matter.

"..."

I saw Yang Wanli standing there with a numb face at the moment, seeing Wu Liang and the others looking over, for some reason there was a strange look in his eyes, as if he had never known them.

And it's not just him.

Even one of the three accompanying soldiers behaved exactly like Yang Wanli.

However, the remaining two people didn't seem to have any abnormalities. They were also looking at Yang Wanli with doubts at the moment, and someone touched Yang Wanli and reminded him in a low voice: "Uncle Yang, the young master is asking you something..."
