Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 627 Huge Surprise (4200)

"?"

This request was completely beyond Wu Liang's expectations, and he was a little unsure of what Lu Bu's intentions were.

If Wang Mang's head is in Lu Bu's hands now, then the Wang Mang's head contained in the iron box presented to the emperor should be fake or non-existent, so Lu Bu knew it already, and there is no need to ask Wu Liang to join him Go to check these three treasures of ages... unless he has other ideas in mind.

And if the suspected "Luotoushi" head in Lu Bu's hand was not Wang Mang's head at all, Wu Liang would be even less sure what Lu Bu was thinking.

But one thing is certain.

Lu Bu has been doing the same thing as Wu Liang.

It’s just that Wu Liang’s main purpose of robbing the tomb is archaeology, and helping Boss Cao to get some valuables to supplement his food and salary can only be regarded as a sideline job; according to Lu Bu’s former subordinate Yang Wanli, Lu Bu’s main purpose of robbing the tomb is to steal the treasures in the ancient tomb. For oneself, thereby expanding one's own strength.

And according to the spies before, during this process, Lu Bu should have obtained some strange magic or treasures related to ancient witchcraft, just like Wu Liang.

This point has also been confirmed by Prince Chamu. The first time Prince Chamu saw Lu Bu, he saw from him a more powerful aura related to witchcraft and Taoism than Wu Liang, but he is still not sure about Lu Bu. What kind of strange art has he mastered, and how many powerful strange treasures are in his hands.

And before that.

Wu Liang also snatched a "Xi Dan" belonging to Lv Bu from Hao Meng and Cao Xing, Lv Bu's former subordinates who had been executed by Yuan Shao. It is a rare and good thing, and it is always ready to go in and out of the ancient tomb. It can always deal with some special situations, thereby reducing the casualties of the Tuan army.

When Wu Liang thought so in his heart.

Boss Cao has already agreed to Lu Bu's request with a smile: "Since Fengxian also has such a taste, it will be good to go with Youcai at that time, but Youcai has the grand ambition of compiling a general history for me. Master, Fengxian should obey the arrangement of talented people, just watch from the sidelines."

"My child understands."

Lu Bu arched his hands and responded obediently.

"By the way, Youcai, I saw that you are always carrying a wooden box behind you. What is the lock in this wooden box?"

Boss Cao nodded slightly, then looked at Wu Liang curiously and asked.

If it could be brought into Boss Cao's camp, the contents of the wooden box had already passed the inspection of the guards outside the camp, and there was absolutely no way it could contain sharp weapons.

And Wu Liang had never had the habit of carrying a wooden box when he came to see Boss Cao before.

Therefore, Boss Cao had reason to judge that the things in the wooden box should have been brought by Wu Liang and dedicated to him, but Wu Liang never offered to offer the treasure, so Boss Cao asked in a hurry.

"Ming Gong, the things in this wooden box are not trivial, only for Ming Gong to check..."

Wu Liang, however, hesitated to speak and glanced at Lu Bu next to him.

Boss Cao immediately understood, but then his face showed a look of embarrassment, and he also looked sideways at Lu Bu.

The palm of the hand is meat.

The back of the hand is also meat.

What's more, the power Lv Bu currently has is very important to Boss Cao. Although Wu Liang can say that, Boss Cao can't immediately push Lv Bu back. estrangement, resulting in a crisis of trust that affects the overall situation.

Luckily, Lu Bu was also a sensible person, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Father, my son remembers that there are some official affairs in the army that haven't been arranged yet, so come as soon as you go."

"Since it's a business, it's natural not to delay, let's go."

Boss Cao felt relieved, and nodded to Lu Bu with a smile.

"promise."

Lu Bu responded, and finally took a special look at Wu Liang, and then walked out of the tent without looking back.

"..."

Looking at Lu Bu's back, Wu Liang's mouth curled up slightly.

In fact, the wooden box contained the secret correspondence between Yuan Shao and Zhang Liang, many of which were dirty things Yuan Shao told Zhang Liang to do, and the biggest role was to help Boss Cao fight a public opinion war.

Although these secret letters can be regarded as confidential, there is actually no need to teach Lu Bu to avoid them.

Therefore, Wu Liang taught Boss Cao to dismiss Lu Bu on purpose.

He knew in his heart that the almost capture of the head of the suspected "Luotou family" last night must have frightened Lu Bu. In the short term, especially when he is still with Boss Cao, Lu Bu should not act rashly again.

And if Lu Bu stopped acting rashly, it would be very difficult for Wu Liang to find out.

Only by arousing Lu Bu's dissatisfaction and curiosity in this way, can Lu Bu take risks in the near future and leak more lies.

Besides, as long as Boss Cao leaves the secret letter in the wooden box, the bait will become Boss Cao.

Even if Wu Liang aroused some dissatisfaction and suspicion from Lu Bu, he was still the fisherman sitting on the shore. Although it was hard to say whether he would eventually become an air force, the fisherman on the shore would definitely be much safer than the bait in the water, at least not a fish. child's primary goal.

"Can we take out the contents of the wooden box now?"

When Lu Bu got out of the camp and the curtains were lowered, Boss Cao had already sat cross-legged beside Wu Liang, and spoke to him in a very inconspicuous but very intimate way, just like a real close relative.

"Minggong, wait a moment."

Wu Liang nodded, and unhurriedly took down the wooden box, and then untied the rope tied to the wooden box, and the neatly arranged scrolls contained in the wooden box The document finally appeared in front of Boss Cao.

"This is……"

Boss Cao has a high level of education and is good at writing poems, so he is also a person who loves to read. However, Wu Liang sent him books but he never thought of it. Could it be that there are important things recorded in these bamboo slips?
"Ming Gong already knows about my friendship with Jinyang Commander Zhang Liang in Jinyang City, right?"

Wu Liang asked.

"Of course I know, that's how I got the news that Emperor Xian is currently in Anyi."

Boss Cao nodded, but still didn't know what Wu Liang wanted to express.

"Ming Gong, please read this letter first."

Wu Liang picked up the top volume of bamboo slips and handed it to Boss Cao. It was Yu Xi who was intercepted by Wu Liang a few days ago. The real Zhang Liang had no chance to read it again.

"?"

Boss Cao frowned and shook off the bamboo slips to look carefully. His expression changed dramatically after only a few breaths. He looked at Wu Liang in shock, "This Yuan Benchu ​​actually intends to send someone to assassinate Emperor Xian ?! This is a serious crime against the public opinion of the world. If this matter is spread, even if Yuan Benchu ​​has the name of the fourth generation and third prince, he will be condemned by the people of the world, and the entire Yuan family in Runan may be completely ruined because of this. After gaining a reputation, it will be difficult to ascend to the imperial court from now on!"

Seeing Boss Cao's shocked expression, Wu Liang almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

Although what Yuan Shao did was not a traitor, your Boss Cao's ambition may not be smaller than his. Even the things you did after welcoming Emperor Xian were even more extreme than Yuan Shao.

In front of Emperor Xian, he forcibly killed the nobleman who was pregnant by Emperor Xian.

The empress of Emperor Xian was imprisoned and died (in other words, murder), and even poisoned the two princes born to the empress with poisoned wine.

It's not Wu Liang's nonsense.

To be honest, what Boss Cao did later was too much, even Dong Zhuo, who was crusaded by the world, was far behind.

Even if Yuan Shao directly assassinated Emperor Xian, he might not be more "disobedient" than what Boss Cao did. Anyway, he gave Emperor Xian a good time.

So Wu Liang really didn't know how Boss Cao had the face to act so "shocked".

However, Boss Cao may also be shocked not by the fact that Yuan Shao intended to assassinate Emperor Xian, but by how Yuan Shao made such a foolish decision?
When he himself received the news, he ran to "King Qin" in a hurry. He must have achieved the political goal of "holding the emperor to make him disobedient." Yuan Shao's decision to assassinate Emperor Xian was naturally a foolish move in his opinion. What shocked him was how Yuan Shao could be so thoughtless.

After all, according to historical records, Boss Cao and Yuan Shao were friends when they were young, and later they entered the court together as officials. They must have a relatively deep understanding of each other, and they should be in a relationship of sympathy.

Later, when the Kwantung Allied Forces attacked Dong Zhuo, Boss Cao had a very close relationship with Yuan Shao.

Even in the official history, before Boss Cao welcomed Emperor Xian and gained huge benefits, Yuan Shao didn't want to see Boss Cao's family dominate, and Boss Cao counterattacked Yuan Shao in the name of Emperor Xian, Yuan Shao and Boss Cao hadn't officially turned their faces.

According to the official history known to Wu Liang.

This should be the second time Boss Cao and Yuan Shao have completely different opinions on major events.

The first time was when the two were officials in the capital together and faced the issue of "killing the ten permanent servants".

At that time, Yuan Shao advocated transferring Dong Zhuo to Beijing, relying on Dong Zhuo's side of the Qing Dynasty, but Boss Cao believed that this was a way to bring disaster, which would definitely lead to the fall of imperial power and chaos in the world.

In the end, it was naturally Yuan Shao who realized his claim.

Then, as Boss Cao predicted, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the situation to take over the government and poured power into the government and the public. Even the Yuan family in Runan was persecuted by Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao had to choose to flee eastward in order to save his life.

Facts have proved that Boss Cao's vision and judgment of the situation are indeed much better than Yuan Shao's.

And a "smart person" like Boss Cao couldn't understand Yuan Shao's "stupid scheme", so he was so shocked?
Just when Wu Liang was thinking so.

Boss Cao suddenly laughed again, shaking his head while laughing and sighing: "Hahaha, God helped me, fortunately Yuan Benchu ​​only wanted to assassinate Emperor Xian, instead of taking the first step to welcome Emperor Xian to Yecheng, otherwise my future road will be very difficult. It's a lot harder to walk."

indeed so.

Although Boss Cao is in a good situation now with the help of Wu Liang, but in history, Boss Cao’s real rise was after welcoming Emperor Xian. Lots of luck.

However, Wu Liang pretended to be confused at the moment, pretending to understand: "Aside from this matter, the rest of these secret letters also recorded many shady things that Yuan Benchu ​​had done. Condemn Duke Ming, if Duke Ming publishes these letters to the public, he will be able to counterattack him forcefully, and he will be unable to deal with it."

"No, no, these secret letters cannot be released now, otherwise Yuan Benchu ​​will be cornered."

Boss Cao smiled and shook his head and said, "Yuan Benchu ​​is a strong soldier, if he is forced into a dead end, he will definitely fight to the death, but I don't have the strength to compete with him now, this move will most likely make me fall into a passive position, instead wasting my present strength." It's a great situation... But my son-in-law reminded me that these secret letters are my cards. If Yuan Shao makes any moves, I can deliberately disclose the contents of these secret letters to him, forcing him to worry about his relationship with Runan Yuan. I don’t dare to act rashly because of my reputation, and I can use this opportunity to accelerate my growth with the help of Xiandi’s name, and when I am strong enough to no longer be afraid of Yuan Benchu, these secret letters will be useless instead. Losing the meaning of making it public, my son-in-law thinks what I said is right?"

"..."

After hearing Boss Cao's words, Wu Liang was already stunned.

As expected of Boss Cao, his thoughts were indeed frighteningly thorough. It might even be because it wasn't about Wu Liang's immediate interests. Wu Liang didn't think too much about it, so that Wu Liang didn't think of what Boss Cao said.

"However, these secret letters are still very important at this moment. My son-in-law was able to pass on the news of Xiandi to me in time this time, and brought back these secret letters for me. These are all important matters related to the life and death of my Cao family. Even Zhicai When I heard the news from my virtuous son-in-law, I was full of praise, saying that having a virtuous son-in-law is like being blessed by God."

Boss Cao pressed Wu Liang's shoulders, his eyes were full of approval and pampering, and he said solemnly, "My son-in-law, if my Cao family succeeds, you will be the most irreplaceable contributor. I will remember everything you have done. In my heart... just wait, I have already arranged the way for you in the future, and when the time is right, I will definitely give you an unexpected huge surprise!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ming."

Wu Liang bowed his hands and thanked him, but in fact, he hoped that Boss Cao would translate and translate for him some f*cking surprise, but he didn't dare to say it.

……

Two days later.

Cao Jun has successfully driven to the city of Anyi.

Under the city gate, some officials were waiting eagerly. Wu Liang followed Boss Cao, and finally learned the identity of the person who came to greet him through their own referrals.

The leaders are Yang Feng and Dong Cheng.

At this moment, Yang Feng has been named "General Xingyi" by Emperor Xian, while Dong Cheng has been named "General Anji" by Emperor Xian. In fact, they are all special generals of this period, and there is still a long way to go from the position of Sangong. .

And neither of these guys ended well after that.

The pregnant nobleman Xiandi killed by Boss Cao later was Dong Cheng's daughter. Dong Cheng and the Dong family were also exterminated in this incident.

And Yang Feng was also attacked by Boss Cao's tactics, and finally ended up with nowhere to stand, and was finally lured and killed by Liu Bei.

These are all later stories.

After the two exchanged pleasantries with Boss Cao, their gazes at Lu Bu immediately became complicated.

Previously, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng were Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and they were the unknown subordinates. It was because Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo that the situation in the court became very chaotic. Now they are able to stay by Emperor Xian's side in the name of escort , It can be regarded as a bit of a trick.

Dong Cheng, in particular, took the opportunity to marry his daughter to Emperor Xian, and became the head of the country.

"General Yang, General Dong, stay safe and sound."

Facing the complicated gazes of the two, Lu Bu grinned.

"General Lu..."

The cheeks of Yang Feng and Dong Cheng visibly trembled, a look of fear appeared in their eyes, and they quickly bowed their heads to salute, like a mouse seeing a cat.

You must know that even when they faced Boss Cao just now, they did not show the slightest bit of embarrassment.
