Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 775 Young Master Void (4000)

The effect of this "Oath of Thailand" is simply too domineering!
Wu Liang was ecstatic in his heart, no wonder the witch said before that the "Tai Oath" was the key to the success of Zhou Wu King and Jiang Taigong's defeat of Zhou.

According to historical records, when King Wu of Zhou and Taigong Jiang summoned the princes from all walks of life in Mengjin, there were as many as 800 princes who came to meet the appointment. If all the 800 princes made the "Oath of Thailand", then it would be equivalent to King Wu of Zhou owning [-] princes. Many princes formed a loyal army, and these princes would never betray him, and even if they just thought of betraying, they would be as painful as Zang Ba.

Such an army naturally possesses extraordinary executive power. How can the army of slaves forced to join the war under Emperor Xin, king of Shang Zhou, be able to contend?
I am afraid that is also the case, which laid a solid foundation for King Wu of Zhou to win more with less.

Suppress your excitement.

Wu Liang carefully supported Zang Ba to teach him to sit down, and poured a cup of tea with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, please sit down and rest for a while, I think it's because I've been too exhausted running the army recently, so I'm exhausted. The younger brother has to persuade the elder brother a few words, the official position, power and property are just belongings outside the body, the body is the biggest capital, the younger brother secretly thinks that the most painful thing in life is to have the official position, power and property, but people don’t Not anymore, but in the end, it will be easier for others, and we will encourage each other with Big Brother."

"What my brother said is very true."

Zang Ba took a sip of the tea, presumably the warning of "Thai Oath" had passed, his complexion finally got better, and he nodded slightly to Wu Liang.

"Now that elder brother is not feeling well, younger brother doesn't dare to bother him anymore. Let's skip today's banquet. It's better for elder brother to go to rest first. Younger brother and the Huan army will rest in the city for a day or two before setting off to return to Chenliu. Come say goodbye to your brother."

Wu Liang said quite understandingly.

"How does this make it?"

After hearing the words, Zang Ba insisted, "I have already ordered people to prepare the banquet. I think it will only take a while for the banquet to start. If my brother leaves at this time, wouldn't the prepared wine and meat be wasted?"

"But……"

Wu Liang wanted to say something else.

"It's fine!"

Zang Ba patted his chest. At this moment, he had recovered his previous vitality. He said to Wu Liang in a loud voice, "I know my own body well. I didn't know what was wrong with it just now. Now it is safe and sound... Let's go on with what we just said." The words went on to say, since Brother Xian has calculated these two unpredictable variables in my fate, is there any proper way to resolve it?"

It turned out that this guy was still thinking about it.

It’s no wonder that this situation happened just halfway through what I said just now, and this is a matter related to Zang Ba’s future, wealth and life. Wu Liang can forget it if he interrupts, but it is absolutely impossible for Zang Ba not to remember. .

"This matter depends on the mind of the elder brother."

Wu Liang also looked at Zang Ba sternly, and said sternly.

"how do I say this?"

Zang Ba was puzzled.

"If elder brother wants to keep the two of them, then there must be a solution to keep them. If these two are dispensable to elder brother, then he might as well tie them up and send them to Duke Ming for disposal. Not only is there no fault, but merit... …I just don’t know what big brother thinks.”

Wu Liang asked knowingly.

"This……"

Zang Ba then frowned slightly, but he didn't hesitate too much, he just organized his words and said, "To tell you the truth, Xu Xi, Mao Hui and I are old friends, if I hand them over to Duke Ming If this matter spreads out, it will definitely cause suspicion in the hearts of the soldiers under the command. I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince them in the future. I was able to stand on my own before, relying on the belief and respect of the soldiers, and I must not lose their hearts because of this... Xian Brother is also the person who commands an army, so he should understand this truth, right?"

"The elder brother is indeed a loyal man rarely seen in the world, and the younger brother is not mistaken."

Wu Liang laughed immediately, held Zang Ba in his arms and said, "Actually, it's very simple to keep the two of you. The elder brother only needs to write a letter to confess the matter to Duke Ming, and promise in the letter that the two will be kept together." Income under his command to rule them personally, teach the two to fight the enemy and make atonement, and ask Ming Gong to give them a chance."

"As the younger brother is about to return to Chenliu to return to his life, he can hand over this letter to Duke Ming himself, and when Duke Ming reads the letter, he will say a few words of kindness to elder brother beside him... Based on what little brother knows about Duke Ming, He is not an unreasonable and narrow-minded person, and he will definitely not hold on to the two of them."

"The most important thing is that Minggong is very thirsty for talents, especially the loyal people in the world. The elder brother took the initiative to confess this matter, which is just in line with Minggong's mind. Therefore, not only will he not be blamed by Minggong, I am afraid I will pay more attention to and trust my elder brother, so that this matter will turn from a bad thing to a good thing, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

In history, Boss Cao ordered Zang Ba to award the heads of Xu and Mao, but after Zang Ba bluntly refused, Boss Cao not only did not continue to persecute him, but also said to him: "This is what the ancients can do, and you can do it alone. wish."

In Wu Liang's view, this is actually Boss Cao's own stepping down.

It's not that Boss Cao didn't want to kill those two people, and it wasn't that he wouldn't be angry because of Zang Ba's disobedience, but facing Yuan Shao's pressure at that time, Boss Cao even endured the hatred of his own son for the sake of the overall situation, let alone this matter?

The situation is the same now, Boss Cao still needs Zang Ba to contain Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.

So even if history repeats itself and Zang Ba doesn't give Boss Cao face again, Boss Cao will still be patient and will still find a way to go down by himself.

And under Wu Liang's operation.

The nature of this incident has undergone a qualitative change. It is no longer Zang Ba's disobedience, but Zang Ba's initiative to confess to Boss Cao. Boss Cao has all the face and face. Naturally, it is easier to accept this matter than in history, and it is also categorical. It is impossible to ask Zang Ba to offer the heads of the two.

Therefore, things will definitely develop in the direction Wu Liang thought, no surprises.

"If my virtuous brother can help me resolve this matter, from now on I will not dare to treat my virtuous brother as my virtuous younger brother, but to treat my virtuous brother as my benefactor... Hiss, oops!"

Before he finished speaking, Zang Ba was already lying on the desk with his chest pressed.

Symptoms and prevention are almost the same, I can't stand up at all, and even my legs have spasms, shaking slightly.

"Big brother!"

Wu Liang had no choice but to step forward to help him, but he felt sorry for the old man.

He could probably figure out what was going on.

Zang Ba should not have other evil thoughts in his heart, but Wu Liang wrote the content of the "Thai Oath" in too much detail, so that Zang Ba had already been warned just because he planned not to treat him as a good brother.

I also blame Zang Ba himself, the brothers with different surnames are brothers with different surnames, why do you have to change it to benefactor, isn't this asking for trouble?
It's a pity that Wu Liang can't explain it to him yet.

At least it can’t be explained now, otherwise, if Zang Ba knows that he was tricked by Wu Liang just now, let alone a brother with a different surname, it would be good if Zang Ba doesn’t regard him as an eternal enemy... But if so, Zang Ba may only die faster.

This incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for Wu Liang.

In the future, if you make the "Oath of Thailand", you need to consider the language again, so as to avoid a similar situation. In the end, it is really guilty of turning good things into bad things.

But next time, Wu Liang will definitely not use this method to casually swear "Thai Oath" with others.

This is a very domineering method, but it is also an extraordinary method at the same time, and the extraordinary method must naturally be used on extraordinary people, so that it can have extraordinary effects.

The people in the Huan army naturally don't need it.

Suspecting people is not necessary, employing people is not suspicious, Wu Liang thinks that they don't need this method to restrain them at all, and those who need to use this method to restrain them will not be able to join his army.

of course.

Wu Liang will not hand over the "Oath of Thailand" to Boss Cao.

He can fully imagine how excited Boss Cao will be when he gets the "Taiwan Oath", and how fast his power will expand, and his paranoia can be effectively curbed.

But this is not in Wu Liang's interest. If Boss Cao wants to make a "Taiwan oath" with him, then he will be locked up by Boss Cao, and from now on he will become Boss Cao's A vassal... Although Wu Liang is not sure whether Boss Cao will do this, he believes that this possibility must be nipped in the bud.

After all, people are always changing. Even if Boss Cao absolutely trusts him now, the possibility of someone slandering Boss Cao in front of him cannot be ruled out in the future, not to mention that as the leader of the Huan army, he has done a lot of shameful things for Boss Cao. , I also know that Cao Jun has too many military secrets, many of which were presented by him personally, and Boss Cao is not without reason to guard against him.

"Brother, you should go and rest first."

While stroking poor Zang Ba's back, Wu Liang said to him apologetically, "Don't worry, the banquet you prepared for my little brother won't go to waste. Even if you're not here, we'll eat and drink enough before going back."

"..."

Everyone in the Huan army was speechless.

It seems that Wu Liang is comforting Zang Ba, but under normal circumstances, these words will only make people feel more distressed, and they are somewhat shameless, right?
"No, it's okay, I'm a little better now."

The warning from "Thai Oath" came and went quickly, Zang Ba stood up again after a few seconds, straightened up panting heavily and insisted on saying to Wu Liang, "My dear brother, this matter is entrusted to you .”

"Don't worry, big brother, I guarantee nothing will go wrong."

Wu Liang patted his chest in response.

……

Two days later.

With the enthusiasm of Zang Ba, the Tuan Army left Tan County.

At this time, not only was there a "surrender" letter written by Zang Ba himself on Wu Liang's body, but there were also twenty shi of grain and ten horses of fine silk cloth on the carriage behind.

In fact, Zang Ba planned to give Wu Liang more, but unfortunately Wu Liang likes to travel lightly when he goes out, so even if he brought a lot of soldiers from the Huren army this time, there were only a dozen or so carriages accompanying him, and he really couldn't pull too many. s things.

But Zang Bayou absolutely cannot give Wu Liang some horses and carriages. For any army these days, war horses are the most precious strategic resources, and even each war horse has its own name and number. Once it is registered and reported, even Boss Cao is reluctant to send the horse.

Originally, Wu Liang wanted to say that it would be fine if he didn't teach Zang Ba to directly exchange the food and cloth he wanted to send into gold, since it is smaller and easier to transport.

But even if he was as shameless as him, when he thought about treating Zang Ba as a guinea pig, he still swallowed the words, there was really no way to say such shameless words.

that's it.

The Huan Army started their journey home again.

There were no surprises in the next journey. After all, it was Boss Cao’s territory, and it was getting deeper and deeper into the hinterland. Officials from all over the place gave him face when they learned of Wu Liang’s identity, saying that he was eating and drinking for nothing all the way. It's not an exaggeration to go back to Chenliu.

When Wu Liang and the Tuan army returned to Chenliu.

There are still three days until May, and the weather has already warmed up at this time. The trees and flowers are all thriving, and you can see colorful wild flowers everywhere.

And for the princes and powerful princes from all walks of life at this time, it is the most suitable season for fighting.

This is indeed the case, because the ability to fight against nature is still relatively limited at this time, sending troops in winter means that more materials and manpower must be spent to fight the severe cold, and even without the enemy's action, a considerable number of soldiers and horses will die Injuries and illnesses caused by the severe cold are a price that no prince or tycoon is willing to bear.

It is also because of this that wars at this time are very time-sensitive.

It is often carried out when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. Even if you have become red-eyed since the cold winter, you can quickly calm down and withdraw your troops, and continue to fight after the winter is over.

and so……

Does this also indicate that the Battle of Guandu is coming soon?
It was already noon when we returned to the mansion, Wu Liang took a bath first, changed into a set of clean clothes, and immediately went to see Boss Cao.

In the past, it didn't matter that Boss Cao wasn't in Chenliu, but now that he was here, he had to return to his life when he came back.

Also let Boss Cao know that Wu Liang has him in his heart, and dare not neglect him.

At the same time, Wu Liang also wanted to find out what Boss Cao said, to understand the recent situation, and at the same time, he could also see what the legendary Guo Jia was like.

In fact, Wu Liang already had a general impression in his mind.

Guo Jia was born in 170 A.D., and he is only about 26 or seven years old now. Wu Liang has been here for a few years, and now he is only two or three years younger than Guo Jia, which can be regarded as the category of peers.

In this way, he came to Boss Cao's mansion together with Dian Wei.

As soon as Wu Liang arrived at the door, he met a young man in fluttering clothes. This young man was about 26 or [-] years old.

This person is less than 1.7 meters tall, and he weighs about 120 kilograms by visual inspection, which is a kind of thin body.

If he was sitting on a bamboo sedan chair at this moment, and there were a few old green onions scattered with petals beside him, Wu Liang would not hesitate to address him as "Master Void".

"Wu Taishi, you're back!"

Just when he was doubting the identity of this person, someone from the Cao residence happened to come out. This person was none other than Cao Chun, who had worked with Wu Liang before, "Hahaha, Duke Ming still talked about you yesterday, but you came back today , I'm afraid he was read back by Duke Ming, right?"
