Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 488 Borrowing a knife to kill (4000)

Of course Wu Liang would not easily incorporate Zhang Shan into the Huan army.

Such a veteran is the least trustworthy. He can immediately sell Lu Bu for preferential treatment just because he was captured today, and he can sell Wu Liang at any time when the situation changes in the future.

And Yang Wanli is actually just a special case.

It can be seen that among the backbone of the Huan army, everyone else quickly gained Wu Liang's trust and entered the innermost circle. Only Yang Wanli has experienced several trials of death until he visited the Qi Ai cemetery. After that, he reluctantly joined in.

So it is definitely not an easy task to gain Wu Liang's trust, especially for someone like Zhang Shan.

"But General Wu, the villain wants to be by your side..."

Seeing what Wu Liang said, Zhang Shan still had a little fantasy in his heart, and said unwillingly.

"I made this decision for your own good."

Wu Liang said earnestly again, "Different from Yang Wanli at that time, now that Lu Bu has become the envoy's 'adopted son', Lu Bu and I are naturally colleagues. Think about it, if I included you in the Huan army at this time , how will Lu Bu feel, if he goes to the envoy to complain, how will the envoy deal with this matter? The envoy has always valued the unity of the generals under his command, if you teach him that the conflicts between us are all because of you One side is Lu Bu's 'adopted son', and the other side is my 'son-in-law', we have the palm of one hand and the back of the other hand, and you who are insignificant in the middle, what do you think will have the least impact on the envoy?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhang Shan had already understood what Wu Liang meant, and a look of worry appeared on his face.

"You are honest with me, so I won't kill you, and I will show you two ways to survive."

Wu Liang patted Zhang Shan on the shoulder and said, "Either you run away to a place where Lv Bu will never find you, so that Lv Bu can no longer hold you accountable; or we will pretend nothing happened and you You have never been caught by me, after finding out the news, go back to Lu Bu to be your scout, and by the way, be my wife, who will be popular and hot from now on, the choice is entirely up to you, I will never force it."

"In addition, I can promise you that I will reserve a place for you in the Tuan army. If one day Lu Bu goes to a dead end, or part ways with the envoy, then there will be no such obstacles, and you can come at any time Dedicate to me; and if one day Lv Bu becomes powerful, you can continue to stay with Lv Bu in peace and stability. This is a bet on both sides for you, and there will be one more choice in the future, so why not do it Woolen cloth?"

This is of course giving Zhang Shan a bad check.

To be honest, because of his appearance as a time traveler, the situation in the world has changed quite a bit, and even Wu Liang himself has no way of being completely sure in what direction the situation will develop.

And a little person like Zhang Shan is naturally even more precarious in such an unpredictable vortex.

Don't say that Wu Liang will never accept him, even if he is really given a chance, he may not be able to live to that day...

"..."

Zhang Shan already wrinkled his face, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.

Wu Liang didn't say anything more, and sat down again to understand his unknown and slowly sipped tea.

After a moment.

"General Wu's words are reasonable, but I don't know how the villain should send information to General Wu in the future, and how to receive rewards from General Wu?"

The long-term experience in the army not only made Zhang Shan a veteran, but the cruel war also made him hone a rather bachelor way of thinking, and finally accepted Wu Liang's proposal with a gritted teeth.

"Dian Wei, take him to find Yang Wanli, he will arrange this matter."

Wu Liang turned his head and said to Dian Wei.

Yang Wanli used to be a scout in Lv Bu's army, so he naturally had some understanding of the Lv Bu group and the behavior of these scouts. If he wanted to arrange this kind of espionage, it would be easier for him to cover everything.

The most important thing is that Yang Wanli is less likely to be fooled by Zhang Shan precisely because of his understanding.

In fact, even if Zhang Shan's braid is caught, what news will come from Zhang Shan in the future.

Wu Liang may not believe everything, he must go through careful screening to judge which ones can be believed and which ones need to be investigated urgently, and sometimes it is just used as a reference to understand the situation, so as to prevent Zhang Shan from becoming a double-faced spy in a single move. Flicker, but use him as a gun instead.

but no matter.

Doing so is better than killing Zhang Shan.

Lu Bu sent Zhang Shan from here, and he had already developed some curiosity about Wu Liang.

Fortunately, Lu Bu didn't pay too much attention to Wu Liang, otherwise it would be impossible to send Zhang Shan alone.

And if Zhang Shan never comes back, then Lu Bu will naturally become more curious, and even start to pay attention to Wu Liang. Bao Buqi will send more people to investigate in the future, so he must find out the details of Wu Liang, which is very important to Wu Liang Naturally, it is a little troublesome, and some things even need to be more careful, and more preparations are made to deceive people's eyes and ears.

It's not as good as it is now, once and for all.

……

After sending Zhang Shan away, Wu Liang immediately summoned his troops to prepare for the expedition.

This time their destination was the "Northern Tang Dynasty" of the "Ancient Tang Dynasty" and the Zhongshan Kingdom of Jizhou where Zhen Mi lived.

Regarding the fact that Hao Meng and Cao Xing had led their troops to Yuancheng, Wu Liang did not hide anything from Bai Jingjing.

It is reasonable for Bai Jingjing to be anxious.

But Wu Liang felt that it was necessary to teach her to prepare psychologically in advance.

After all, Hao Meng and Cao Xing set off from Juancheng, which is closer to Yuancheng, and they set off about a week earlier. Even if Wu Liang led his men to go there immediately and chased them day and night, they might not be able to arrive in time.

Not to mention.

How many people to bring this time is also a question worth discussing.

According to Zhang Shan, Hao Meng and Cao Xing brought more than [-] people with them this time, and these [-] people pretended to be refugees and went there in batches, because they also knew that Yuan City was Yuan Shao. They were worried that people who accidentally met Yuan Shao on the way would encircle and suppress them. After all, Yuan Shao already had a tendency to turn against Boss Cao at this time.

And the whole army of the Tauren Army did not have 300 people in total.

Moreover, Wu Liang still does not intend to have a direct conflict with Hao Meng and Cao Xing this time. Apart from the inevitable casualties in a direct conflict, this is obviously not a wise choice. After all, Yuan City is in Yuan Shao's territory. It's not a big battle, but it's still hard not to attract attention.

And once it entered Yuan Shao's sight.

That must be the result of the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole. When the time comes, Hao Meng and Cao Xing will have a hard time, and Wu Liang will definitely not have a good time either, and he may not be able to escape unscathed.

In addition, there is a more important problem.

Even if this trouble is solved smoothly this time, and Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others are even wiped out, will this matter be considered as an end?

Probably not.

Now that Lu Bu has already formed an idea about Guangchuan King Liu's going to the tomb, he will definitely not let it go.

This may in turn arouse his interest further, maybe he will send more people next time, and he may even come here in person for a while to find out the "gravekeepers" left forever by Hao Meng and Cao Xing What kind of secrets and treasures are hidden here?

As such.

The Bai family is naturally disturbed, and the extermination of the family is also a matter of time.

and so.

Unless Wu Liang can solve this problem once and for all, the fate of the Bai family will still not be changed...

The only thing to be thankful for now is.

Although Hao Meng had contact with the tomb keeper last time, he only came into contact with the Yan family, and still knew nothing about the Bai family, and the Bai family was well aware of their own strength, so they were relatively restrained in their actions. Before Hao Meng, Cao Xing and others really found the tomb of King Guangchuan, they would not have jumped out to die.

Think before and after.

Wu Liang still decided to take only twenty soldiers to go this time.

He didn't intend to teach the Huan army to do it, but he was planning to borrow a knife to kill people, and he hoped there would be time.

of course.

They also need to make some adequate preparations, because after this incident, they will go to a more distant place, and they may encounter even greater troubles.

……

That afternoon, Wu Liang and others left Chen Liu.

After traveling day and night like this, they finally arrived at Shicao Village outside Yuancheng one evening after a week.

Wu Liang ordered the soldiers of the Tau army to hide in the nearby forests for repairs, while he himself brought only a few backbones of the Tau army into the village and went straight to Bai's house.

There are old and young, men and women in their group, and they look most like a family who fled.

This move is also to guard against Hao Meng and Cao Xing.

When Wu Liang came here, he had sent people into Shicao Village at the foot of the mountain to inquire about news, and even ordered people to come to the village to verify Bai Jingjing's identity. I am afraid that he had already entered the sight of the tomb guard Bai's family at that time.

Then Hao Meng and Cao Xing might also have thought of this, maybe there are eyeliners watching the troubles in the village now, even if it is not to defend the tomb man, it can also prevent Yuan Shao's army from receiving the news and coming to encircle and suppress, so as to be foolproof.

"Jingjing, why are you back?!"

It was a middle-aged woman who opened the door. When she saw Bai Jingjing standing at the door, the middle-aged woman thought she had misread it. She had an extremely surprised look on her face, and she even rubbed her eyes subconsciously.

"Aunt, is my father here?"

Bai Jingjing asked quickly.

"Your father took a few people to a nearby village to practice medicine..."

The middle-aged woman came back to her senses and looked at Wu Liang and the others standing behind Bai Jingjing. Immediately, an imperceptible look of wariness flashed across her eyes. Instead of taking the initiative to greet them, she asked, "Jingjing , who are these people?"

"The orb of the former king is in his hands."

Bai Jingjing pointed to Wu Liang and said concisely.

At the same time, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, because her aunt's words could at least prove that her father and the clansmen have not encountered any accidents for the time being.

"I see."

The middle-aged woman should have never seen Wu Liang before, or she had forgotten his specific appearance after a year, but what happened last year was something that the Bai family would never forget, so when she heard about it, When Jingjing said this, the middle-aged woman immediately understood Wu Liang's identity, and finally opened the courtyard door completely, stepped aside and said, "This is not a place to talk, you guys come in first."

This move can also be seen.

In fact, the Bai family's sense of Wu Liang is quite good. Although he is a tomb robber, he can be said to be an incompatible enemy with the Bai family, but at the same time he is also a tomb robber who emphasizes martial arts. At least he gave them and the tomb they guarded. The road of soldiers has not been wiped out.

So come to the courtyard.

The middle-aged woman directly brought Wu Liang and others into the living room, and then said to Bai Jingjing and Wu Liang: "You guys drink here to moisten your throat first, and I will come as soon as I go."

"Ah."

Bai Jingjing nodded, and after the middle-aged woman went out, she turned her head and said to Wu Liang, "My aunt must have gone to invite the grandpa. Although my father is the patriarch, there are still many important matters that need to be discussed with the grandpa. Now my father If you are not at home, my grandfather should receive you, and others are not allowed to talk to you, so as not to accidentally reveal my family's secrets."

"Your house still looks the same. It seems that we have caught up by catching up."

Wu Liang smiled, nodded and said.

"Thank you, and you."

Looking at the tired faces of Wu Liang and everyone else, Bai Jingjing said sincerely.

These days, Wu Liang and the others travel day and night, and no one has ever yelled bitterly or tiredly. Although she is impatient, she can see everything in her eyes. Even her people can only do so much. I am full of gratitude.

She is very fortunate to have become a "bead follower" at the beginning, so that she can get to know this group of people who are different but share the same ideals.

If not.

Facing Hao Meng's comeback today, the Bai family must be alone and helpless.

"Sister Jingjing, if you say this, you will see yourself outside."

Zhuge Liang said with a grin.

The other people also nodded one after another, without any anxiety on their faces.

Xu Shi had a lot of things to do together, as long as Wu Liang was in charge of the overall situation, they were always inexplicably confident, which often put Wu Liang under a lot of pressure and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

between speeches.

"Cough cough... cough cough..."

There was already a coughing sound from the yard outside the living room, as if a mouthful of old phlegm was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

"Master!"

Bai Jingjing hurriedly stood up to greet her, and supported an old man with all white hair and a bald head.

"Jingjing, you're back. You're not sick. It seems that Wu Sima didn't treat you badly."

The old man's body was not bad, and he didn't need a cane to walk. He held Bai Jingjing's hand and looked her up and down. Then a smile appeared on his face and he looked at Wu Liang who had also got up in the living room.

Wu Liang recognized the old man.

He was the old man who stood beside Bai Qiru and advised him to choose Wu Liang's "compromise" when the tomb guards were confronting the Tuan army.

"Grandpa, now he is no longer Sima, but General Zhonglang."

Bai Jingjing coquettishly shook the old man's arm, and corrected her slightly showing off.

"?"

Hearing this, the old man gave Bai Jingjing a meaningful look, and then looked at Wu Liang in the hall, as if he had already noticed some subtle situations.
