Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 272 "The Grand Duke's Art of War" (4000 second change, added for [~Xi Mu] boss)

"You and I!"

Zhuge Liang choked for a long time, not knowing what to say.

At this age, he still doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and he is famous for his sharp tongue in the surrounding area of ​​Xiangyang City. Whenever someone disagrees with him, he will yell at him. It can be said that he is rarely defeated among the sons of the gentry.

The same is true, he only gained such a reputation before.

But since meeting Wu Liang, this is not the first time he was speechless when he was refuted by Wu Liang, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was crushed in all directions.

However, Zhuge Liang's childish nature was still unwilling to give in easily. After holding back for a long time, he poked his neck and said: "It is well known that I am extremely talented and intelligent. I don't need you to say more. Isn't it just a mere one?" Formation, I just don't want to take advantage of you, if you want to break it, it's just a matter of hand!"

"I hope Brother Zhuge's name is not in vain."

Wu Liang looked noncommittal again, shook the "silkworm god silk" trapped on his body, wrinkled his face and said with a wry smile, "But this is the end of the matter, you and I are already grasshoppers on a rope, no one will take advantage of it." Whoever is cheap, if Brother Zhuge can really break the formation, please do it as soon as possible, lest you have to starve for a few more days and suffer, if you can't break it, I'm afraid we will be buried here together, and then we will be killed on the road to Huangquan Companion, you won't be lonely."

"Who wants to keep you company?"

But Zhuge Liang played arrogantly again, turned his face away with a cold snort, and said, "You told me to break, but I will not break, who told you to hurt me so much, I will wait until you all starve to death, and then break the formation and go out on your own. "

"Before I starve to death, I will kill you first, and I will take you on the road together!"

Wu Liang glared at him viciously, and finally stopped flirting with him. He turned his head and said to Ji, "Old man, show me the direction and hexagrams you recorded along the way, and I'll take a look." Can you find some useful clues."

"My lord, please take a look."

Yu Ji spread a piece of silk cloth on the ground.

It was a matter of life and death, and the old boy also put his heart and soul into it, recording all the tomb passages he walked that day on this piece of silk cloth in great detail.

Because of Wu Liang's improved version of the compass, the old boy has overcome the problem of "not being able to find north".

The directions of the walls on both sides of the tomb passage were also recorded on a reduced scale, and all directions and hexagram positions were marked. At a glance, this is an extremely detailed regional map.

Wu Liang felt that even if he directly lifted the roof of the mausoleum, the information he would get would be nothing more than that.

This is the main reason why Wu Liang brought Yu Ji in.

Since he is proficient in the art of geomancy, drawing maps is naturally a no-brainer.

In addition, if Zhuge Liang's knowledge of the gossip and Zhouyi is so-so, Yu Ji can also make supplements in time, so as not to affect the progress of the tomb exploration.

However, judging from the unmeasured area map of this map, it seems that the area occupied by this mausoleum is much larger than imagined. It seems that the map that has been drawn so far only occupies a small part of the entire tomb passage. , they still have a long way to go...

"Goo-"

Suddenly a strange movement came from the ear.

Wu Liang followed the prestige, but at some point, Zhuge Liang had already approached him, and he was also seriously observing the map drawn by Yu Ji... And the voice was naturally coming from Zhuge Liang's stomach.

"What are you looking at, why don't you make my stomach growl when you're hungry?"

Zhuge Liang blushed slightly, and asked a little arrogantly.

"Xing! Xing! Call whatever you want!"

Wu Liang didn't continue to quarrel with him, instead, he calmly gave Zhuge Liang a place to teach him to look more carefully, maybe he could find the key clue to solve this strange formation.

Otherwise, why did Wu Liang bring him in?

In this way, a group of people watched quietly for a while.

Zhuge Liang probably didn't see anything, so he didn't speak from the beginning to the end. At the end, he simply stepped aside silently and stopped looking at the map.

Naturally, Wu Liang didn't see any clues, and finally asked Yu Ji to put away the silk cloth.

But this time he didn't use words to stimulate Zhuge Liang. Now that he got up, this little guy has gradually entered the state, so it's better not to dampen his enthusiasm.

Although Wu Liang was anxious in his heart, he also knew that this matter should not be rushed.

First of all, Yu Ji's map seems to have only completed a small part. Even if Zhuge Liang really has the ability in this area, it is impossible to solve the entire maze with a map of a small area, which is too embarrassing for him;
Secondly, there are still many problems in the tomb passage that have not been verified, so the map drawn by Yu Ji may not be the real situation.

Wu Liang can think of many hypotheses: For example, some small magnetic fields are set up in the tomb passage to confuse people's directions, and the compass installed on Yuji's compass is too numerous to count, so the map drawn in this way will naturally only be misleading.

In addition, there must be other settings to confuse the eyes and ears, otherwise, how could a dog whose sense of smell, hearing and even night vision are much better than humans can't get out?
Again, this brat has only been hungry for a day, has not been pushed to the limit, and has not stimulated all his potential under the trend of survival... Moreover, even if he really sees something now, he may be angry and deliberately not say anything .

So this matter must be patient and give Zhuge Liang some more time.

of course.

It doesn't mean that Wu Liang will procrastinate forever.

At most, he would only persist until Zhuge Liang fainted from hunger.

Only then can it be shown that Zhuge Liang is really incapable of deciphering this formation. At that time, Wu Liang will immediately call Bai Jingjing and Yang Wanli who are guarding outside to lead the crowd to "demolish".

In order not to waste too much time, the Tauren army encountered the impact of geology and the structure of the tomb during the "forced demolition" process, which slowed down the progress. If I really ran out of dry food and ended up trapped in the tomb, then the gain outweighed the loss up.

Sufficient time must be allowed for the Huan army, just in case.

and so.

The time Wu Liang left for Zhuge Liang and Qiu Mu Cemetery is really running out.

Too much, not too much... let's do it and cherish it.

……

So two more days passed.

Zhuge Liang seemed to have reached his limit, and his hungry chest was still light against his back.

At this moment, the child has a disheveled face, the not-so-round face is out of shape, and even the eyes have a layer of green light, like two faint green wolf eyes in the dark tomb passage, looking Everything is like eating.

Wu Liang felt a little distressed when he saw it, and couldn't help but want to fetch some dry food for him several times.

But in the end, he told himself against his conscience that it was also for Zhuge Liang's good, so he forcibly endured it.

"Hungry...hungry..."

Zhuge Liang shuffled his feet and moved on the ground. After a while, he let out a weak chatter, and finally sat down on the ground leaning against the wall. He turned his head to look at Wu Liang dully. Looking at Wu Liang, "I really can't move anymore, brother talented, aren't you hungry? I know a way to save myself. You can cut off the meat from your thigh and cook it for us, so that we can eat it again." If you can survive for two more days, although you are in pain, you will not die immediately. Maybe we can still live, and you will end up with a disability at most... So, Brother Youcai, cut off a piece of meat, I will I will remember you forever, I promise."

"I think we can eat you first. You are younger and your meat is more tender."

Wu Liang rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"I don't have much meat, so I can't save so many people. You can ask Uncle Dian Wei to put a piece of meat on it. He is full of tendon meat. It must not be greasy at all, and it may be very chewy..."

Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and then said weakly.

"Why don't you discuss it with him?"

Wu Liang winked and said.

"..."

Zhuge Liang took a look at Dianwei's iron tower-like figure, then silently looked away, and then turned to look at Yu Ji who was beside him, "Brother talented, I'm afraid we are really going to die here this time, if I first If you starve to death, you can eat my meat first, I don’t blame you, but in exchange, if anyone of you starves to death before me, I will also eat your meat, you can’t blame me, okay?”

"You think that this old man will be the first to die of starvation because he is the oldest?"

Yu Ji instantly sensed Zhuge Liang's little thought, and immediately exposed it.

"Nothing, I'm just discussing the matter..."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang didn't even have the strength to defend himself, he licked his dry lips and said, "Old man, can you show me the map you drew, this may be the last time I see it... ...Let's use our talents together at the end, if we can crack this formation, maybe there is still a glimmer of life, if we can't crack it..."

"I'm afraid we won't be able to get out... Alas, I'm sorry, I'm so talented and intelligent, I never thought that I would starve to death in a place like this before I made any achievements. How small and sad, how can I be reconciled and talented? Brother, I thank you, I thank you so much, I really want to thank your whole family!"

"That's all, it's all my fault, why did I meet you evil stars..."

Having said that, Zhuge Liang finally sat up a little while supporting the wall, his eyes regained some radiance, staring at the silk cloth that Yu Ji had laid in front of him.

Now on this piece of silk cloth, there may be the only life he can find.

Since he wanted to survive, he would naturally not give up any clues.

In fact, in the past two days, he has studied this map many times, but no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't find any clues that could help him escape.

The only difference.

It is with their continuous exploration that this map is constantly expanding every moment, and now it has expanded to a very spectacular level.

During this process, Yu Ji has been measuring the distance with his footsteps, and the thumbnail map is completely drawn according to a certain scale, so there is still a rough estimate of the scope and distance of the tomb passage they walked through.

According to the abbreviated ratio given by Yu Ji, the location of their tombs walked through the tomb passages, and the final area occupied by the twists and turns was probably about the same size as Xiangyang City.

This is a very terrifying area, jaw-dropping.

The more so, Wu Liang became more sure that the map drawn by Yu Ji was affected by some misleading factors.

Because he is very sure that it is impossible to build such a large-scale Chumu Cemetery just by looking at the few hills above the mausoleum. The consumption of Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall will definitely become one of the most shocking projects in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is absolutely impossible to be unknown in history, let alone in the history of archaeology.

Therefore, they must have gone a lot of wrong ways, but they never noticed it.

"Come on, Brother Zhuge, drink your saliva first, don't be dazed."

Seeing that Zhuge Liang was concentrating on checking the map, Wu Liang didn't stay idle, but silently handed over the water bag, for fear that the child would suffer from hypoglycemia if he used his brain.

"Humph……"

Zhuge Liang glanced at Wu Liang, but he was no longer in the mood to continue cursing, took the water bag and continued to look at the picture.

After being hungry for three consecutive days, Zhuge Liang's body has indeed reached its limit. If Wu Liang hadn't been providing him with normal drinking water, he might not even be able to sit still.

Therefore, with such a simple action, when Zhuge Liang looked down at the map again, a few gold stars appeared in his eyes, and his eyes blurred involuntarily.

Zhuge Liang quickly rubbed his eyes.

This is probably his last chance. If he still can't find any clues, he will definitely not be far from starving to death. He must cherish this opportunity.

he wants to live...

As a result, the more I rubbed my eyes, the more blurry they became. When I looked at the map again, double images appeared in my eyes, and my brain began to feel dizzy.

"Young birthday..."

Zhuge Liang felt desolate in his heart.

He is only 14 years old, he has never experienced anything, he has never flexed his muscles in this troubled world, and swayed the blood in his chest. Is he going to die here so uselessly?

Zhuge Liang forced himself to cheer up, even if his eyes were dazzled, he still insisted on staring at the map in front of him.

As the feeling of dizziness became more intense, his body also swayed slightly, as if he couldn't sit still, and the double image in his eyes swayed from side to side, overlapping and unable to find focus.

"It's all due to this goddamn Wu Youcai. I have no grievances or enmities with him. Why does he treat me like this? I hate..."

Zhuge Liang cursed Wu Liang in his heart, indeed he had reached the point where he wanted to eat his flesh alive, but he couldn't do it.

at this time.

"?!"

A flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhuge Liang's mind.

While the ghost image of the map was swaying left and right, the lines drawn by Yu Ji continued to overlap and separate, suddenly there was such a short moment.

The moment when double shadows intersect!

Zhuge Liang suddenly saw a picture he remembered by heart, it seemed to be... a picture of a military formation he had seen in "The Art of War of the Grand Duke"? !
