Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 722 Ghost Cave (4000)

Lu Qi's last monarch - Qi Kang Gong Lu Dai!

In the event of "Tian's Replacing Qi", the one who was abolished and replaced by Tian was Qi Kanggong Lu Dai. According to "Historical Records", Lu Dai was exiled by Tian to an island near the sea. At first, some arrangements were made for him. The food towns were used for his life, and later even these food towns were completely taken back.

From then on, Lu Daibian lived an extremely difficult life. He could only dig a hole on the hillside as a stove, and died not long after.

As for which island near the sea was exiled to Duke Kang of Qikang, it is not stated in the "Historical Records", and there is no definite conclusion in the archaeological circle of later generations: There is a saying that the tomb site of Qi Xiaoling in Zibo City is the tomb of Duke Kang There is also a saying that the Qikang public offering should be a tomb site located on Zhifu Island, Yantai City.

Although these two tombs are located within the territory of Qi State, they are actually very far away from Yuzhou Mountain where Wu Liang is now.

As for the Kang cemetery, Wu Liang also has his own views.

First of all, the tomb site of Qi Xiaoling can basically be ruled out.

Back then, Lu Dai was expelled to the island and died of hardship on the island. He was already alone when he died.

Moreover, since the Tian clan came to power, the state of Qi has been under the control of the Tian clan until the establishment of the Han Dynasty. Tian Heng, the last Qi king of the Tian clan, died, and there has been no Qi state in the world since then.

Under such circumstances, Lu Dai and the descendants of the Lu family have no chance of making a comeback, and naturally it is impossible to specially build a mausoleum of the scale of "Qi Xiaoling" for Lu Dai.

Besides.

Zibo City is not close to the sea, and "Qi Xiaoling Mausoleum" has nothing to do with the island. These are far from the records in "Historical Records". Attached to the behavior of distorting history, some propaganda is not credible, at least it must not be used as archaeological evidence, otherwise it will only be misleading.

And most importantly.

Research by various parties has shown that Qi Xiaoling Mausoleum is not a tomb of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods at all, not even a tomb of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, so it can be ruled out directly.

The second is the "Kang Cemetery" located on Zhifu Island, Yantai City.

The geographical location of this mausoleum is very consistent with the records in "Historical Records". It is indeed an island facing the sea, but to be precise, it should not be called an island, but a peninsula, because "Zhifu Island" is actually directly connected to the mainland. together.

And there are rumors that in the 40s, fishermen did dig out more than 40 large blue bricks on this island. It is very similar to the decorative patterns of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

These two points seem to have confirmed the authenticity of "Kang Cemetery".

But it's not.

Because as far as Wu Liang knows, the more than 40 green bricks were not actually found on Zhifu Island, but in Datong Town, Weihai City, which is far away from here, and there is no direct relationship between the two.

And according to various studies, the "Kang Cemetery" on Zhifu Island is not a mausoleum from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

Therefore, these two tombs are actually fake and cannot be used as archaeological evidence.

So if these two suspected tombs of Duke Qikang are excluded, where will the real Qikang cemetery be, or where is the island where Duke Qikang was exiled in the first place?
Wu Liang couldn't say well either.

The only thing he can be sure of is that the islands on all the coastlines of the territory of Qi State were possible.

As for the tomb of Duke Qikang, it may exist, or it may not exist at all.

Just like what he had thought before, after the "Tian clan replaced Qi", the Lu clan completely withdrew from the stage of history, and the descendants of the Lu clan never had the chance to return to the Qi state's political stage. There was no shelter from the wind and rain, and in the end he ended up suffering and dying.

A phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken. In this case, Qi Kanggong has to live how the common people live. The common people can starve to death on the side of the road and become unclaimed starving people. Naturally, Qi Kanggong should not have any special treatment, and even died on an island. It may not be discovered until long after death.

Then.

Is it possible that Qi Kanggong was exiled to Yuzhou Mountain?
Of course there are.

Yuzhou Mountain is also an island in the territory of Qi State, and it is worth mentioning that there are many descendants of the Qi royal family and nobles who once lived in Qu County, Xu Fu is one, and Tian Heng, the last Qi Wang of the Tian family, is also one. .

After the demise of the Qi State, they all chose to live in seclusion in Qu County, which is enough to explain the status of Qu County among the Qi royal family and nobles.

But why Qu County has such a status in their minds is unknown.

This……

Thinking of this, Wu Liang suddenly came up with another conjecture that had nothing to do with Qi Kanggong, but was quite conspiratorial:

Qin State finally destroyed Qi State and unified the world.

Xu Fu, a descendant of the nobles of the Qi State, and Tian Heng, the queen of the Qi King's family, are old friends.

Xu Fu thought that Qin Shihuang was looking for the elixir of life, so he got a lot of supplies from Qin Shihuang, and spent a lot of manpower to build a mirage, and finally went to sea and never returned.

Soon the people were angry and resentful, and Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted.

Tian Heng and his elder brother Tian Rong took the opportunity to set up an army to occupy Qi territory and establish themselves as the king of Qi...

If these things are connected together, it will be a far-sighted restoration plan, which is staggering.

Could this be the historical truth?

Although what Xu Fu did could not directly affect the rule of Qin, and the demise of Qin still had many elements of the first emperor and the second emperor's own death, but this move must have played a role in fueling the flames.

So it is.

When Xu Fu heard the news of the collapse of the Qin Dynasty and the establishment of the Great Han Dynasty, he immediately wanted to return. In fact, he wanted to see how Qi's plan to restore the country was going.

Or maybe, although what Xu Fu got was the news of the founding of the Great Han, that news also included the news of the restoration of the Qi State.

After all, at the beginning of the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising, the rejuvenated Qi State had been in an independent state. This state lasted for a long time, until Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, and he was free to order Han Xin to attack Qi State.

This process also continued for a period of time, until Liu Bang formally proclaimed himself emperor and established the Great Han, and the restored Qi State still existed, knowing that Tian Heng was dead...

If so inferred.

Wu Liang then had to consider another question:

For example: In what year did Xu Fu leave the Wa Kingdom and return? If he returned to the Celestial Dynasty smoothly, was the Qi State that was restored at that time still there, was Tian Heng dead, and did Xu Fu see this old friend?

If Xu Fu really returned to the Celestial Dynasty, and finally met Tian Heng.

Then Yuzhou Mountain, as Tian Heng's last retreat island, has a high probability of being the last place where Xu Fu stayed...

But these are just Wu Liang's guesses.

Right now, it is still necessary to find out the abnormality of the "Tai Gong Yin" breath.

"Chamu, you saw the aura of this copper seal suddenly released wildly, so these auras can lead to a clear direction?"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Wu Liang looked at Prince Chamu and asked.

"This is not."

Prince Chamu shook his head.

"There is no clear direction..."

Wu Liang felt slightly disappointed.

However, it is not without any gains. This at least shows that there must be some foreign object in this place that can stimulate the "Tai Gong Seal". The unknown historical truth about the Lu family.

Thinking of this, Wu Liang looked at the witch Hu who was following behind him, and asked, "By the way, Miss Hu, is there any record in your shrine that Xu Fu built a ship and returned to Dahan back then? Can you confirm which year it was?" ?”

"I don't know how to say how many years. I only know that it is written in your history books that it should be the fifth year after King Qin dedicated the jade seal to the emperor of Han Dynasty."

Miko Hu thought for a moment, and then said a little unconfidently.

"That's five years in the Han Dynasty."

Wu Liang made up his mind.

Not to blame the witch, there is no perpetual calendar that is universally used in the world at this time, and every time a new emperor is installed in the Celestial Dynasty, the year name must be changed, and then the year will be counted again.

Therefore, many year names such as the third year of Qin II, the fourth year of Chuping, and the 13th year of Jian'an often appear.

Faced with such a year name, not to mention the witch called such a Wa countryman, even many laymen in later generations are also the first two, and it is impossible to tell which year these year names refer to.

Even Wu Liang sometimes has to guess the year based on some iconic historical events.

And the incident mentioned by the witch just happened to provide Wu Liang with help.

Han five years.

It was the year when Liu Bang officially proclaimed himself emperor, and many things happened in the following years, and Tian Heng was forced to walk out of Yuzhou Mountain, and returned to the mainland by boat to meet the emperor in Luoyang, but finally died at a distance of only three years from Luoyang. What happened in Yanshi, Shili, also happened in that year.

However, Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor in January at the beginning of the year.

However, there is no record of the exact time of Tian Heng's death, only that it must have been after Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor.

That is to say, the longest interval between these two events is only eleven or two months.

During this period, Xu Fu received the news and built a ship to return to the Celestial Dynasty. Can he still catch up?
"Girl, you are going to our country by boat, where do you usually land from?"

Wu Liang asked.

"A long time ago, we landed from Baekje and entered your country via Goulyo. We only needed to sail for half a month on the sea. Later, we found that the land was more difficult than the sea, so we opened up a new route and changed from today's east coast. Landing in Lai County, so that you can reach your country directly, avoiding many obstacles that you will encounter when traveling on land."

The witch answered seriously.

"So how long do you need to sail at sea when you land from Donglai County?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"About three months."

The witch replied.

"Are you sure that exactly when Xu Fu left the country of Wa?"

Wu Liang asked again.

"It's the Si hour on the seventeenth day of the fourth lunar month."

Witch Hu even made it clear about the specific moment, it seems that this incident has a great impact on Wa Kingdom.

"Based on this, if Xu Fu returns smoothly, he may return here from mid-July to early August..."

Wu Liang frowned in thought.

He knew in his heart that the time of the Wa country must have been influenced by the Celestial Dynasty, using the same timekeeping method, and this method of mainly relying on the sun to time the time is destined to cause some time errors in different places, and it is easy to be caught by the time at this time. people ignore.

However, as far as the distance between the Celestial Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom is concerned, there is only a few hours of time difference at most, so it will not have much impact on the estimated results.

And Xu Fu returned to the Celestial Dynasty at this time.

It is very possible to see Tian Heng who was ordered to die by Liu Bangzhao near Luoyang, and Tian Heng was entrenched on Yuzhou Mountain at that time.

and so……

When thinking about it like this.

"Boss! Boss! Please help me, Mr. Jun. I have something important to report, and I must see our leader immediately!"

Suddenly there was an anxious shout from outside.

No one in the Liren Army would call Wu Liang the leader, and the accent of this man was also that of Qu County, so the person who came was definitely looking for Jin Wei, who was traveling with Wu Liang.

"?"

Wu Liang looked back at Jin Wei, seeing that Jin Wei was also about to ask him for instructions, so he nodded and said, "Brother Jin, it seems that there should be something important, let me go out with you to have a look?"

He still didn't fully trust Jin Wei, so he didn't want to teach him to whisper to his subordinates.

"Okay, Wu Taishi please."

Jin Wei was very magnanimous, and made a gesture of invitation quite generously.

So the group first retreated from the stone house together, and then saw a young man with the appearance of a fisherman not far away who was stopped by soldiers from the Huren Army.

"Boss, look quickly, that ghost cave has appeared again!"

The young man didn't regard Wu Liang and the others as outsiders, and when he saw Jin Wei coming out, he immediately pointed down the mountain and shouted loudly.

Ghost hole?

Wu Liang and the others looked suspicious.

But when Jin Wei heard his words, he immediately ran to the edge of the depression and looked down the mountain.

Wu Liang and the others quickly followed, following Jin Wei's gaze.

It doesn't matter.

I saw a vortex with a radius of about ten meters appeared in the sea water about a hundred meters away from the coastline at the foot of the mountain. The sea water seemed to be sucked by something and swirled rapidly.

Is this the ghost hole they are talking about?

Wu Liang was puzzled.

But Jin Wei looked familiar, and even said to the young man with some surprises: "Tell everyone not to go to sea for two days, and make preparations for the sea in advance. This is a gift from God. Here we come, if we catch up well, we won't have to suffer from hunger for at least half a month."

"That's right, everyone has already started preparations without the leader saying anything."

The young man smiled and said, "Boss, the brothers asked me to ask you, should we bring the family members from the county over to help out this time, the more people we have, the greater our strength, and the more we can harvest."

"I think it's okay, you can bring some people to arrange, but don't mess around with the elderly and children."

Jin Wei nodded.

"Alright, I'm going then."

The young man responded, and ran down the mountain without stopping.

This……

Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone in the Huan army was even more puzzled.

The word "ghost hole" doesn't sound like a good thing, why Jin Wei and the young man are so happy, as if a big happy event is about to happen?
