Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Wu Liang went on to say after hearing the words: "The Ruoguan army is just an ordinary army of craftsmen. I'm afraid Cao Pi and Cao Chun have already started fighting before we come back."

Wu Liang murmured and said, "The reason why they didn't do anything, but just kept using Cao Mengde's handwriting to exert pressure, was because they were worried that the Tuan army would have something they were afraid of, and they were afraid that if the conflict situation went out of control, it might affect the people on the front line. The impact of the situation... This should also be Cao Mengde's worry. I guess he did not authorize Cao Pi and Cao Chun to mobilize troops. After all, the war with Yuan Benchu ​​is more important than a mere army of people. He is absolutely impossible Take such a risk at this juncture."

"As for Cheng Yu's Chenliu garrison, the same is true. If Cheng Yu can easily wipe out the Huan army, Cheng Yu will never sit idly by in his position, but if he can't, Cheng Yu dare not do it easily. This old fox knows better than anyone else the weight of the crime of leaving the army and the crime of affecting the frontline war."

"So it's a game of chicken."

"In this game, whoever has more firm beliefs and fewer scruples will be able to force the other party to compromise and become the final winner."

Having said that, Wu Liang finally paused for a moment, looked around at everyone's faces, and said in a deep voice: "As long as our belief in leaving is strong enough, even if Cao Mengde comes in person, we will have to let us leave safely. It is the only way of survival for the Huan army, and it is imperative."

"It's just a pity that the son's title and official position, as well as the property accumulated by Yongqiu..."

Yu Ji sighed, and said regretfully, "I think back when the old man followed the young master, the young master was just a small captain. Although the young master has skyrocketed compared with others, the hardships and dangers involved are only Only those of us can understand it.”

"What happened today is not so much an extermination of the Huren Army, but a test of Wu Youcai."

Bai Jingjing also said, "From the contents of Cao Mengde's handbook, it can be seen that while promoting Wu Liang, he ordered Cao Pi to take over the Huan army. Obviously, he wanted to keep Wu Youcai and deal with the Huan army at the same time. In my heart, Wu Youcai is still his precious son-in-law, and we are the hidden dangers that must be eliminated."

"..."

The people in the Huan army fell into silence once again.

How can everyone not understand the truth in Bai Jingjing's words, and understand that Wu Liang's sudden decision to lead the Huren army to escape is actually for them.

As far as Wu Liang is concerned, as long as he obediently accepts Boss Cao's decision and hand over the Huan army to Cao Pi, as if the Huan army never existed, he can continue to be Boss Cao's son-in-law, and continue to enjoy the life that is no different from being alone. The preferential treatment of more than [-] people, went to live a leisurely life with rich clothes and fine food.

It is no exaggeration to say that Wu Liang was the one who gave up the most when he made the decision to flee this time.

Everyone in the Huanren Army couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Although they understood Wu Liang's temperament and knew that Wu Liang would definitely make such a decision in the face of this situation, this feeling was not good at all, and they felt like Wu Liang's burden.

They want to do something, but they don't know what to do...

Just at this time.

"My lord, I heard everything you said..."

At some point, Cao Ni was already standing at the door of the living room, with guilt and complex expressions on his face facing everyone.

Although they rushed back to Chenliu day and night during this period of time, none of them mentioned this matter too much in front of Cao Ni, so that even after entering the city, they met Yang Wanli and others who came to greet him, and heard that the Cao Ni army was about to Cao Pi took over the matter of going to the front line, and she only regarded it as an ordinary dispatch, and she didn't realize that it was related to the life and death of all the people in the Tuan army.

Even before this, she thought that if the people in the Tuan Army really didn't want to be transferred to the front line, she would go to her mother, Mrs. Ding, to plead for mercy, and ask her father to withdraw his order.

But now she has understood that things are far from as simple as she thought.

Because of this incident, her father and Wu Liang could no longer be in harmony with each other as before, and had to give up everything and lead the Huan army to flee...

"Nie, come in, I didn't tell you about this in advance, just because I didn't want you to be caught in the middle..."

Wu Liang turned around and explained helplessly.

"I see."

Cao Ni nodded slightly, walked lightly into the living room with lotus steps, and his tone was much calmer than expected, "But a gentleman shouldn't hide it from me, as the saying goes, husbands sing and wives follow. Since I married a gentleman, I am a gentleman. What a gentleman wants to do and where he is going, I will follow without complaint, this is the way of women taught by my mother."

Seeing Cao Ni's reaction like this, Wu Liang was a little surprised, but he still asked, "Then what do you think about this matter?"

"Father has his own reasons for disposing of the Huren army, and a gentleman has his own reasons for leading the Huren army away. It's not like I, a woman, can get involved."

Cao Ni pondered for a moment, then said calmly, "Please don't worry, gentleman, I will not secretly go to beg my mother to intercede for the Huren army, nor will I tell anyone in my natal family about the gentleman's decision. This is also the woman's way my mother taught me. , I only hope that when the dust settles on this matter, the gentleman and father can each be well."

"This……"

Wu Liang and Huan Renjun were even more surprised when they heard this.

Originally in the subconscious of everyone, Cao Ni, who is perverse on weekdays and has a blood relationship with Boss Cao, is the biggest unstable factor for the Huan army at the moment.

Wu Liang even thought of the scene of Cao Ni rushing to Cao's house to cry and make a fuss after learning about it, and by the way, exposed his plan in advance, so he has already made plans to send her to Cao Ni immediately once he learns about it. Under house arrest until the end of the preparations, it is up to Cao Ni whether to return to her natal family or stay by his side at that time.

In the end, I didn't expect Cao Ni to be so enlightened, which is really surprising.

Wu Liang reacted for a while, and then said: "Ni'er, I'm afraid you will never see your father, Mrs. Ding, or your brothers and sisters again."

"This is the end of the matter. A gentleman's life is my life. If a gentleman is good, I will be fine. If a gentleman is not good, I will be fine... If my mother knows my decision, she will only feel relieved."

While talking, Cao Ni looked in the direction of the Cao Mansion, with a trace of reluctance in his eyes.

……

For the next two days, everyone in the Tuan army has been secretly preparing for the escape.

Both Wang Qing and Zhu Lu have visited Wu Liang, and now one of them is in charge of the salt industry under Boss Cao's rule, and the other is in charge of farming affairs in Yanzhou. Boss Cao relies on the two for a large part of his logistics supplies, so the two are even more important.

Although both of them regarded Wu Liang as a noble person who changed their lives and followed Wu Liang's lead in everything on weekdays, this time Wu Liang did not mention to them that he was planning to lead the Huan army to escape.

Unlike Wu Liang and most of the soldiers of the Huren Army, these two guys represent a big family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are seniors and subordinates.

One of their decisions is related to the lives and deaths of hundreds of people.

If they were involved in this matter, the Huan army could go away, but they would stay and bear the wrath of Boss Cao instead of the Huan army, and they would definitely suffer from it.

Wu Liang had a pretty good impression of these two guys, and he really didn't want to hurt them.

But Wu Liang still taught Wang Qing to do another thing for him.

He asked Wang Qing to find some trustworthy people to set off ahead of time, and secretly moved Wen Renzhao and Wenren's family members to Nanjun in Jingzhou... Wen Renzhao and Wenren's family members arrived in Chenliu a few months ago, and recently He has been under the care of Wang Qing, and no one in Chen Liucheng knows the relationship between Wen Renzhao and Wu Liang, so the risk of this matter is very low.

Although Wang Qing was puzzled by this, he still chose to follow suit.

And this incident has actually revealed the route of Wu Liang's escape. He planned to go to the southwest, all the way to the legendary "Field of Duguang", and use it as the hermitage of the Huan army in the future.

Such a choice is not a hothead, but also after careful consideration.

First of all, "The Wilderness of Duguang" is a place where Jianmu is said to have existed. Not long ago, he saw a broken Jianmu at the mouth of the Yellow River. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, he could not conduct further research. If you find another building tree, you will have the opportunity to continue researching;

Secondly, there is a very mysterious ancient Shu cultural site in the "Du Guang Zhi Ye". In later generations, this site has a well-known name - Sanxingdui.

Wu Liang didn't mean to excavate Sanxingdui in advance, but planned to bury his previous archaeological discoveries in Sanxingdui. Sanxingdui was rarely visited by tomb robbers for thousands of years, so his archaeological discoveries are hidden here. , the possibility of being handed down to later generations is naturally greater, and it can be guaranteed to be discovered by later archaeologists;
Thirdly, anyone who has understood the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty knows that even if Boss Cao won the Battle of Guandu, he would not be able to conquer Shu for a long time after that, and the Tuan army would naturally have nothing to do with him.

In addition, if the wheel of history does not turn too crooked because of the appearance of Wu Liang, the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang may still have the opportunity to come to Shu and establish the Kingdom of Shu here... The biggest problem is Now that Zhuge Liang followed Wu Liang, the three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang might not have the opportunity to visit the thatched cottage, nor the "Longzhong Dui" that helped them divide the world. The wheel of history has actually turned a lot.

But this is not important, even without the three brothers Liu, Guan and Zhang, there would be other people fighting against Boss Cao. Duguangzhiye also belongs to remote areas, and there are very few forces involved.

And if according to the historical unification process that Wu Liang knew, when this place was finally unified, the Cao family would have been replaced by the Sima family. At that time, who still remembers that Boss Cao once secretly set up a Huren army? ?
……

At noon on the eighth day.

Cao Pi Zhunshu brought Cao Chun and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the Huan army's garrison.

"Brother-in-law, it was my father's order to take over the Huren Army, and I am only following orders. Can you make it easier for me?"

Seeing Wu Liang who had been guarding the Huan army garrison early, Cao Pi's attitude was very good, and even when he showed Boss Cao's handbook, he was in a discussing tone.

"Second Young Master, this matter is too hasty. I still have some affairs in the Tuan Army that have not been properly handled. Could Second Young Master please accommodate me for a few more days?"

Wu Liang saluted with a smile, just like an old man.

"It takes a few days to accommodate, brother-in-law, please give me an accurate number?"

Cao Pi seemed to have expected Wu Liang's reaction in this way, and he was not annoyed at all, so he saluted and asked.

"This... how about sending someone to the mansion to report to the mansion as soon as I finish the matter?"

Wu Liang still said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll go back and wait for news from my brother-in-law."

Cao Pi nodded, and he and Cao Chun happily rode away with the tiger and leopard.

"?"

Looking at the backs of Cao Pi, Cao Chun and others leaving, Wu Liang and the others in the Huan army were a little suspicious. Originally, they thought there would be a tense scene today.

"Young Master, Second Young Master's reaction today is a bit abnormal..."

Yin Jian asked puzzledly, "Could it be that just because the young master is here, does he dare not lose face?"

"Shouldn't be."

Yang Wanli frowned and said, "I don't think he left in a sloppy way, as if he had already been instructed before coming here, and today he just came here for a formality..."

"Encourage..."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Wu Liang was also secretly analyzing Cao Pi's reaction just now.

"not good!"

Wu Liang suddenly realized something, and immediately ordered to Yang Wanli and Yin Jian, "Yang Wanli, hurry back to Chenliu, and order everyone in the house to bring them to the station together with the things they packed earlier!"

"Yin Jian, gather all the soldiers of the Tuan army immediately. Be sure to bring the family members who plan to flee with us before dark, and load all the luggage and prepared food and pay into the car. We will set off on time at midnight tonight!"

Yongqiu is located outside Chenliu City. There is no tall city here, and naturally there is no city gate under the control of Chenliu's garrison. It is easy to be blocked, especially in the early hours of the night.

"promise!"

Although Yang Wanli and Yin Jian didn't know why Wu Liang did this suddenly, they still took orders to do it immediately.

After the two left, Dian Wei who was at the side rarely asked the doubts in his heart: "Young master, the 'innuendo' you ordered the Liren army to rush to produce is still lacking, and the horses are not enough, why are you so anxious all of a sudden? ?”

"I can't wait any longer. I'm afraid Cao Mengde will come in person."

Wu Liang sighed and said, "Cao's army is currently stationed in Guandu, and that place is only a few hundred miles away from Chenliu. If you work fast, you can reach it in a day at most."

"Cao Mengde must have known about my return. If, as Yang Wanli said, Cao Pi's reaction just now was instructed by someone, then it must be Cao Mengde's instruction. He will definitely not put it aside temporarily, but intends to personally Settle this matter, or he won't sleep well!"
