Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 4 Ten People and One Chicken

"Is this true!?"

Hearing this, Cao Tian finally couldn't sit still anymore, stood up with a "huh", and looked at Wu Liang with surprise, as if he was looking at a treasure that was lost and found again.

"Even if the villain has ten heads, he wouldn't dare to deceive the Marquis."

Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly.

"Good! Very good! Tonight I will personally lead the army with you fifty times before visiting Liang Xiaowang's tomb. If what you said is true, I will definitely use it for you. When I see the envoy in the future, I will personally ask for credit for you!"

Cao Ting immediately took the case and said, decisively revealing the flavor of going to the doctor in a hurry.

Wu Liang was overjoyed, but just as he was about to bow to thank him, Zhou Feng jumped out and thrust him in: "Mr. Marquis, think twice. What Wu Liang said is inconclusive. The Marquis must not put himself in danger. , not to mention that the Tuan army now has less than a hundred men, if another fifty soldiers are lost, it will be almost the same as annihilation of the entire army."

"I don't need 50 people, I only need ten people."

Before Cao Tian could react, Wu Liang smiled confidently.

Tomb robbery has never been about the more people the better, especially in this kind of closed tomb, the more non-professionals enter, the more dangerous it will be, and the more unnecessary damage will be caused to the tomb.

As a master of archaeology, Wu Liang was naturally influenced by the concept of "protective excavation".

In history, the tomb of King Liang Xiao could not escape the fate of being stolen. It was only a matter of time. Now that he helps, at least there is still a chance to preserve some cultural relics with archaeological value for future generations to investigate and study.

"ten people?"

Both Cao Ting and Zhou Feng were taken aback.

"But these ten people need to be chosen by myself."

Wu Liang said again.

"Do you have any requirements?"

Cao Ting thought for a while and asked again.

"Marquis Jun and Du Bo are both excellent in martial arts, if the two of you are willing to go together, that would be great."

Wu Liang deliberately looked at Zhou Feng and said.

"Brother Talented" knows Zhou Feng well, he is a person who is greedy for life, afraid of death, and greedy for pleasure. Little hit back.

As for Cao Teng, before he entered the military tent just now, he heard the rhetoric of "If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent".

So even if Wu Liang didn't mention it, he would probably go.

The most important thing is that Wu Liang knew that someone was plotting to harm him, so bringing Cao Ti by his side was equivalent to bringing a talisman. By the way, he could also let Cao Ti witness his abilities with his own eyes, killing two birds with one stone.

"Bastard!"

Sure enough, Zhou Feng objected immediately, and said sternly, "If the Marquis enters the tomb with me, who will be in charge of the army, and you will be responsible for any trouble?"

"What Zhou Dubo said is very true, then please ask the military marshal to sit in the army, and Zhou Dubo will go to the tomb with me."

Wu Liang said deliberately.

"Me? Cough cough, you know me, military officer, I..."

Zhou Feng suddenly looked embarrassed, pretending to cough and wanted to explain to Cao Ting.

"Enough! I will enter the tomb with you tonight, and Zhou Feng is outside to help."

Cao Ting was too lazy to listen to those nonsense anymore, seeing that Zhou Feng still wanted to say something, he immediately waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter again!"

Wu Liang took advantage of the situation and said again: "Besides, I also want the wild pheasant that the army waited for a few days ago and raised outside the tent."

"Wu Liang, don't push yourself too hard! Even the military marquis has never been in the slightest bit of meat since he came to Dangshan...Me too!"

Zhou Feng couldn't help cursing again immediately.

Cao Ting, however, looked at Wu Liang amusedly and said with a smile, "What's the difficulty? After you help me finish this matter, I'll order someone to cook that wild pheasant for you to enjoy alone."

This is obviously to measure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a foodie!
Tolerable or unbearable!
Wu Liang was stunned, and had no choice but to explain: "Marquis Jun misunderstood, I wanted that wild pheasant as if I brought it into the tomb for another purpose... But after it's done, Marquis Jun please allow me to roast it and eat it. "

Pheasant: WDNMD!

……

People in the late Eastern Han Dynasty were quite superstitious. It is generally believed that the soul of the owner of the tomb would stay in the yin house to rest during the day and only go out at night.

Therefore, if you want to dig a grave, you must wait until after sunset.

However, Wu Liang believes that this is only one of the reasons why the Tuan army turned upside down day and night.

Another reason is mainly due to Cao Cao's position.

Throughout history, Cao Cao has regarded himself as a minister of the Han Dynasty all his life. It must be unreasonable for the ministers to openly send people to rob the tomb of the royal family of the Han Dynasty. If they are found out, they may be targeted by the princes like Dong Zhuo, so there is no way to let it go Things on the table are best done secretly at night.

This may be how the rule of "the cock crows and the gold is not touched" in the tomb robbery novels of later generations may have come from...

Because of this, even though Wu Liang felt that there was no difference between day and night, he consciously chose to follow the Romans, and temporarily rested in the military tent under Cao Ting's arrangement, and waited until night to start the excavation work.

……

Such a day without words.

After the Zhuan army had dinner, a bright moon had quietly climbed over the treetops.

Gusts of autumn wind blew across the foot of the mountain and made piercing whistling sounds from time to time, and the hazy moonlight shone through the dead trees, leaving hideous black shadows on the ground. It was the night when the night was dark and the wind was high.

Cao Ti had assembled his men in front of the tomb early on, including himself a total of ten people, all of whom were elites in the Huan army.

However, even the elites felt a little uneasy in front of the strange tomb where more than a hundred people were inexplicably killed last night. This can be seen from their expressions as if they are facing a big enemy.

"Soldiers and soldiers, Wu Liang is in charge of all matters tonight, and you all obey his orders, but those who disobey will be dealt with according to military law!"

Cao Ting is a straightforward person. When he came up, he handed over the command to Wu Liang, but instead he took charge of the shopkeeper.

"Yes."

Everyone was uneasy, and the voice of agreement was naturally a little sparse.

"Xie Junhou, I only have two requests."

Wu Liang first bowed to Cao Zhi, then turned around and said to everyone, "First, to enter the tomb requires collective action, and no one is allowed to make claims or touch anything without authorization; second, only light a torch Lighting is enough, if the torch goes out, no matter what the situation is, you must immediately evacuate from the tomb without any mistakes, do you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly."

The voice of promise is still sparse.

"Okay, everyone, take your tools and weapons and follow me."

Wu Liang didn't mind either, he waved his hand at everyone very casually, and walked towards the tomb with big strides.

After what happened last night, he can already confirm that there is no poisonous miasma in the tomb passage in front, and with today's whole day of ventilation, the air inside has been exchanged with the outside world, so naturally there is nothing to worry about.

Looking at his handsome back, everyone was still a little uneasy, but when they saw Cao Ting's gaze sweeping towards him, they quickly braved up to follow.

So it doesn't take long.

Wu Liang had already walked through the tomb passage to the two huge stone gates blocking the way.

This is an arched doorway, all made of flat stone bars.

The eaves tiles, ridges and rafters of the gate tower of the coupon gate are all carved with white marble.

Under the coupon gate is the Xumizuo carved out of large bluestone, on which are extremely delicately carved with the pattern of pitching lotus, which has a strong Taoist meaning and mysterious color.

Under the coupon gate, there are two splendid and mighty stone gates.

The whole body of the stone gate is also carved from white marble, except for some dust on it, the carved pattern is still clearly visible.

Wu Liang has seen these patterns, which are the "cloud patterns" popular in the Han Dynasty.

The "cloud pattern" in this period is related to the heavenly world and the thought of ascension. Carving this kind of pattern on the tomb door naturally has the meaning of helping the tomb owner ascend to the heavenly world.

At this time Cao Ting had already followed, remembering Wu Liang's description in the morning, he pressed his hands on the stone gate and pushed hard twice, and other soldiers also hurried up to help.

Sure enough, as Wu Liang said - not a single thread moved!
In addition, Cao Ting also found a gap about three fingers wide between the two doors, so he took a torch and looked inside, but he couldn't see anything.

"This door is extremely strong, can it be done by bumping wood?"

Cao Ting turned his head and frowned slightly.

More than a hundred people couldn't push these two doors open last night, so naturally he couldn't push them open with only these few people.

"No, I have a way to open this door easily."

Wu Liang smiled confidently.
