Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 389 Don't let any one go! (4200)

two months later.

Department of Li, Mei County.

A caravan of more than [-] people walked slowly from east to west. Everyone looked like a traveler, but there was not much tiredness on their faces.

"Brother Talented, look quickly, there is a big city ahead, it seems to be bigger than the Chang'an City we passed by a few days ago!"

A ten-year-old boy in the caravan pointed to a dilapidated castle not far ahead, and shouted bouncingly.

This boy is none other than the legendary Zhuge Villager.

"This should be Dong Zhuo's Meiwu."

Wu Liang nodded and smiled.

This expedition to Wu Liang did not bring too many people, except for the four backbones of Dian Wei, Yu Ji, Bai Jingjing, and Yang Wanli, only one Zhuge Liang was added, and there were also twenty elite soldiers and spirits from the Huan army. Abnormal Fang Qiong.

Because Shanshan is far away, even if a large amount of gold and jewels are found there, Wu Liang has no plan to bring them back to Boss Cao.First, the distance is too long and extremely labor-intensive; second, the situation is complicated and the risk doubles.

It is definitely not a wise move to forcefully transport a large number of them without an army escort. A little carelessness will kill many people, and it is not worth it.

Anyway, what he was looking for on this trip was not those gold jewels. As long as Boss Cao didn't put pressure on him, he naturally didn't need to make such an effort.

"Unexpectedly, Meiwu, known as the 'No. [-] Fortress in the World' by the world, has become like this now."

Yu Ji also looked at the dilapidated castle in front of him, stroked his beard and sighed.

"Thirty years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, Dong Zhuo may have already foreseen the defeat, but he didn't expect such an end."

Wu Liang said calmly.

According to historical records, this Meiwu was built by Dong Zhuo when he moved the capital to Chang'an with the emperor. It is seven feet tall and thick, and it is adjacent to Chang'an City.

Dong Zhuo once said: "If things are successful, they will dominate the world; if they are not successful, they will be enough to live forever."

It can be seen that this Meiwu is the retreat that Dong Zhuo left for himself, but he must have been a hero at that time, otherwise how could he say such a thing... Think about it, who just suffered a defeat and was beaten by a group of people? All the coalition forces retreated steadily, and had to flee from Luoyang to Chang'an, and their morale would drop a lot.

"But it seems that there are still troops stationed inside, and I don't know whose army is stationed here. Young master, do you want me to check it out?"

Looking at the flag erected on the dilapidated city wall again, Yang Wanli volunteered.

"Don't worry about it, it should be Ma Teng."

Wu Liang looked at the word "horse" on the flag, shook his head again, and said, "Let's take a look outside and get out of this wrong place as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble."

According to historical records, Han Sui and Ma Teng were invited by Dong Zhuo to come to Chang'an to fight against the coalition forces together.

As a result, when Han Sui and Ma Teng arrived in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo was already dead, and the people in power were replaced by Li Jue and Guo Si, so Han Sui was named a "General Zhenxi" and led his troops back to Liangzhou.

But Ma Teng was named "General Zhengxi" and stationed in Mei County.

Therefore, if there are any soldiers and horses stationed in Mei County now, and the flag with the word "horse" is still standing, it can only be Ma Teng's soldiers and horses.

As for this Wuwu, although it is also a very famous historical site.

Moreover, it has only been destroyed for a year, so there should be some things to see, but if he is taught to take the risk of contacting Ma Teng's troops stationed there, he will still choose to just look outside.

Anyway, once the later generations discovered the ruins of Meiwu, and the structure diagram of the ruins has been restored, he even saw the restored structure diagram of the ruins, so there is really no need to take risks by force.

Anyway, Meiwu has been destroyed, and it won't disappear in a short time. It won't be too late to take a closer look after Boss Cao takes it down...

"Young Master, you really know the world's affairs without going out. It's not good if you don't admire this ability."

Yu Ji took advantage of the situation and gave a flattery.

However, everyone did not despise him this time, because what he said was indeed an indisputable fact.

Wu Liang didn't have an old friend who kept in touch with him in this area, nor did he send anyone to investigate here, but he was able to explain the situation here clearly, which in their eyes was something they couldn't learn even if they wanted to.

And this ability is not only shown now, whether it is the previous trip to the tomb, or this time on the way to the west, Wu Liang is using this ability to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It has shocked them more than once, and shocked them. Everyone gradually got used to it.

……

So Wu Liang and the others stopped a mile away from the city gate.

Then he circled around the side of Meiwu, and then continued westward without looking back.

After all, the distance of one mile is only about [-] meters. When they saw the "horse" flag, the soldiers on guard in the city must have seen them too. At that time, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to leave.

After walking like this for about two hours, when the sky was getting dark.

"Crack! Clack!..."

A chaotic sound of hoofbeats came from the front.

He didn't see anyone, but what he saw first was a cloud of smoke rising with the wind from the horse's hooves.

"Give Way."

Wu Liang turned his head and said to everyone in the Huan army.

"Quick! Quick! Move faster!"

The soldiers of the Huan army had long been used to it, and immediately drove the carriage to the side of the road.

They all came here this way. Although they were a little bit cowardly, because of this, their itinerary was very smooth, and they hardly had any conflicts with anyone.

So little time.

A small group of about fifty people showed their heads from behind the slope in front. This group did not raise the flag, and they were wearing relatively light casual clothes, but they still had some simple armor on their bodies, and it was very likely that they belonged to nearby of an army.

The few people in the front rode on horseback with bows and quiveres on their backs, while the people behind brought some bleeding wild animals.

The larger one seems to have two wolves and a deer, and the smaller one is a hare hanging on a string.

From this point of view, this group of people should have just returned from hunting, and the harvest is quite rich, so it can be seen that their combat power should be pretty good.

But the most eye-catching thing was the horse that the group sat on.

It was a pure white horse with a strong and majestic body and a very shiny fur. At first glance, it was a rare and good horse, but it was a bit eye-catching when riding it, especially when it was fighting, it was easy to be a fire Target.

Of course, if this horse is to be compared with Jueying, it will naturally be worse.

It's just that Wu Liang had returned Jueying to Boss Cao not long ago. Even if he pretended to be a donkey, that thing would be eye-catching.

"Cack! Clack!"

This group of people rode horses and soon arrived in front of Wu Liang and the others. Wu Liang and the others also lowered their heads and stopped observing them, trying to avoid the kind of discomfiture caused by "what are you looking at" and "what are you looking at?" Conflict is necessary.

But this time it backfired.

"Call-"

A 20-year-old young man who walked in the front of the group suddenly pulled the rein for some reason, and then raised his back hand, causing all the people behind him to stop.

"Hey, what do you do?"

The young man didn't get off his horse either, pointing his whip at Wu Liang and the others and asked loudly.

At the same time, the people behind him immediately dispersed, and soon surrounded Wu Liang and others, which was well-trained.

"..."

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Wu Liang had no choice but to raise his head, looked at the young man with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Mr. Jun, we are going to 'Hujie' to sell medicinal materials. .”

"Hujie Kingdom" is also a small country in the Western Regions, located to the north of Shanshan Kingdom, and it has gone far north.

Of course, Wu Liang couldn't tell the truth, otherwise, if there was a conflict accidentally and he couldn't kill them all, it would be tantamount to pointing out the pursuit route for the pursuers.

"Drug dealer?"

The young man frowned slightly, then waved his whip again, and said to his subordinates, "Go and check to see if this person is telling the truth."

"promise!"

As they spoke, four people got off their horses and hurried towards the four carriages accompanied by the Huan army.

Three of the carriages were pulling some materials prepared by Wu Liang for this trip, including the saltpeter and sulfur that Wang Qing had helped collect earlier. These two things were packed in different wooden barrels, so as to avoid Accidental detonation can be deceiving.

As for charcoal, Wu Liang also prepared a barrel in advance for emergencies.

The remaining carriage is used for people.

Yu Ji, Bai Jingjing, Zhuge Liang, and even that crazy Fang Qiong usually sit in it. They look old and young, but they look like normal family members.

"..."

Seeing this situation, Yang Wanli and Dian Wei clenched their fists and looked at Wu Liang coldly, asking him for his opinion.

"..."

Wu Liang shook his head at them calmly.

The less trouble, the better.

Maybe it's just a simple routine inspection. It's best if you can fool the past. If you can't fool it, it's not too late to react accordingly.

between speeches.

The four of them had come to the front of the carriage, pointed to the big wooden barrel on the carriage and asked, "What's in it?"

"If you come back to Lord Jun, what's in it is saltpeter."

Wu Liang still smiled humbly, and took the initiative to lift the lid of the wooden barrel and show it to them.

One of them jumped onto the carriage with a cold face, pulled out the scimitar around his waist, and poked vigorously into the white powder in the wooden barrel, then shouted at Wu Liang: "Open them all for me, I want to check them one by one!"

"Yes."

Wu Liang did as before, opened the other wooden barrels one by one, and introduced them very cooperatively, "Master Jun, this is also saltpeter, look... this barrel is sulfur... this is charcoal, which is used to light fires and support combustion on weekdays." ... These are the rations and clean water we brought on the road, they are all common things."

The four followed Wu Liang to check the contents of the carriage one by one, and finally came to the front of the carriage where Bai Jingjing and the others were riding.

"Is there anyone here?"

One of them asked coldly.

"There are four people in total, and they are the family members accompanying the villain."

Wu Liang nodded and said with a smile, "Master, please be careful. One of them is insane. He yells at every turn and sometimes speaks crazy things. I was bitten by her once."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The soldier glared at him, then jumped into the carriage and opened the curtain of the carriage with a machete.

Bai Jingjing, who was sitting inside, had a layer of dust on her face, and her clothes were plain and bulky. She looked like an ordinary village woman, and it was not easy to arouse evil thoughts in others.

Yu Ji and Zhuge Liang needless to say.

On the other hand, Fang Qiong's hair is disheveled. Although most of the injuries on his head have healed, he has not fully recovered. In addition, he lost his image after going crazy, so he doesn't look very attractive.

"Ah-ah-"

Seeing the soldier, Fang Qiong immediately yelled, rubbed his feet and shrank back into the corner desperately.

In fact, Fang Qiong has been much better recently, at least she will no longer be startled and scream when she sees Wu Liang and others, only when she meets a stranger.

"Ah……"

The soldier saw that the people inside were similar to what Wu Liang said, so he didn't continue to check. He lowered the curtain with a flick of his scimitar, then jumped out of the carriage and ran towards the young man in charge, clasped his hands and reported, "My lord, it's nothing special. It should be a group of ordinary drug dealers."

"..."

Wu Liang heaved a sigh of relief, and everyone in the Huan army also heaved a sigh of relief.

Since no problems were found, there should be no conflicts.

However, they have only just come up with such an idea.

"Okay, leave the horses and food, and you can go."

The young man pointed at the horsewhip again, and said to Wu Liang condescendingly.

"?!"

The faces of the people in the Huan army suddenly changed.

"General, spare your life!"

Wu Liang was the first to cry and begged, "General, this journey is not far away. If the general takes away our horses and food, it will be like killing us. I implore the general." Give us a way out!"

"Without horses, you can use people to pull carts. Without food, you can hunt some game along the way. How can you tell if you have lost your way of life?"

The young man's eyes were slightly cold, and he said to Wu Liang condescendingly, "Many of you are young men, I didn't seize your goods, but I captured you and sent them to the army. To survive, you must not know what is good or bad."

"General, villain..."

Wu Liang wanted to try again.

"If you say one more word, then you don't have to go!"

The young man immediately interrupted him, and shouted in an unquestionable cold voice.

Wu Liang saw that this matter could not be discussed, and he didn't want to get into trouble, especially since this young man seemed to have a high status at such a young age, he was very likely to be the son of a certain warlord, if he was moved, he might cause even bigger troubles. I had to grit my teeth and endure, then turned around and gave orders to everyone in the Huan army: "Quickly follow the general's orders, don't make mistakes!"

"..."

The teeth of the Huanren Army were about to be gritted, but Wu Liang was their leader, he meant that they must not disobey, even if they feel aggrieved, they must obey.

However, just as they were about to unload the carriage.

"Wait!"

The young man pointed his whip at Dian Wei again, and said in an aggressive manner, "The two weapons behind your waist look interesting, so leave them for me to see."

"?!"

Wu Liang's face turned cold with his back to the young man, and there was a strong killing intent in his eyes.

at the same time.

Everyone in the Huanren Army also stopped their movements in an instant, and their eyes focused on Wu Liang again.

"Are you deaf?"

The young man didn't seem to understand what was going on, and continued to put pressure on Wu Liang and the others.

"Kill! Don't let any one go!"

Wu Liang finally said the long-awaited words of the people in the Huan army.
