Chapter 250 The enemy treated me fiercely, and I responded fiercely [Subscribe]
Tomb of Mozi.
In the darkness, the light of the torch came through first.
Ling Jin and others came out of the tunnel one after another.
"Every time someone enters or leaves Mozi's tomb, the sand and soil fill up by itself and cover up the robbery hole. Junior Master, do you know the reason?"
"Well, it can be done by carving the earth-sealing array or by finding treasures in the tomb that are connected to the earth's energy veins."
Li Wufang held up his crutches and flexibly passed through the tomb tunnel and entered the tomb after Ling Jin.
He sniffed the surroundings:
"There is a dry, smoky smell in this tomb, which means it is not connected to underground water."
He exhaled, and the breath was condensed and hit the wall of the tomb passage next to him, and then exploded, presenting a spectacle like thousands of water droplets splashing, colliding and rebounding in all directions.
Li Wufang listened attentively and said, "There are no hidden layers on the side walls or the ground.
This corridor does not have any killing devices, so you can go in."
Xu Huan, Hu Yu, Li Feixiong and others who were following behind were all dumbfounded.
Is it true that your nose is so sensitive that you can detect whether there is a layer on the wall or the ground with your breath?
"My uncle is proficient in the art of hearing and seeing, so what he said cannot be wrong."
Ling Jin saw the confusion of several people and said: "My fingers can also detect similar information. Uncle Master is more skilled than me."
Ling Jin and Li Wufang were the first to go deeper into the tomb.
In front of the two people were two secret armor beasts.
Their pupils turned completely dark gold, and the curse on their armor leaves was extinguished.
The team soon arrived at the strange tomb chamber where the sun bird could fly out of the scroll.
Li Wufang's depiction of the sun and the moon:
"The wall is painted with ink and blue, and the mechanism is hidden inside. This method of opening up space is really the burial place of Mozi..."
Ling Jin took out the bronze tablet with the word "tomb" on it that was spit out by the secret armor beast.
There was an immediate reaction from the walls.
A pair of bird eyes appeared on the wall, looking at the bronze tablet with the word "tomb" on it.
An illusory figure also appeared faintly behind the moon, also looking at the tomb tablet.
Afterwards, the two slowly disappeared and did not block the road like they did in the previous times.
"The governor's guess is correct. This tomb slip is like a pass. It is something left by Mozi."
Ling Jin was the first to walk into the corridor under the sun scroll.
It is deep inside, extending diagonally downward.
Ling Jin walked all the way to the depths of the corridor.
The front became dark and gloomy, with black air like a curtain. That was the area of Yejing.
Li Wufang stretched out his finger and lightly touched the darkness:
"This is a unique defense method of mythical tombs. It is said to be a dark chaos before the sun was born, which can devour all orderly things."
“I do have some way to get in, but it’s too dangerous.
Unless you have the Compass Chariot, the Eye of the Phoenix, or the Xuanyuan Sword, or some other legendary treasures, it will be impossible to pass through..."
"Is this the treasure that Junior Master Uncle mentioned?"
Ling Jin took out the Falling Moon Pearl and reached into the darkness ahead.
The Falling Moon Pearl usually only glows slightly.
However, as we approached the dark source in the tomb passage, a bright light appeared, like the bright moon.
The darkness rolled back, and the Falling Moon Pearl opened up a corridor, revealing an area two or three feet away.
Ling Jin was very happy.
The two secret armor beasts have already leaped into the darkness ahead.
Li Wufang looked at the Falling Moon Pearl with surprise.
A group of people entered the corridor.
The darkness kept retreating under the illumination of the Falling Moon Pearl.
Cao Cao learned about the changes in the tomb simultaneously through the secret armor beast.
After Ling Jin and others entered, the darkness at the entrance converged and submerged the place they passed through again.
The dark passage was trumpet-shaped, becoming wider as it went deeper.
Occasionally, one could see what seemed to be a number of things in the receding darkness.
Suddenly, a long whip-like object emerged from the darkness, moving at lightning speed towards the Falling Moon Pearl in Ling Jin's hand.
Clang!
Gold and iron echo.
Li Wufang's crutch magically touched the protruding object and forced it back.
"What is it?"
"It's made of bronze and looks like a beast's tail!"
"The Mohist mechanical beast?"
"Don't go into the darkness. It's extremely dangerous outside the light wall of the Falling Moon Pearl." Li Wufang said.
The team walked further and further away in the corridor.
Cao Cao discovered that with the help of the two secret armor beasts, he could actually see vaguely in the darkness of the tomb.
Their eyes, which were blessed by countless spells, saw a vague figure at the back of the corridor, following Ling Jin and others.
It seems to be a woman.
Could there be a ghost in the tomb? Cao Cao looked at the sky. It was almost sunset.
The inner residence of Cao Mansion.
Next to the water pavilion, there was a chubby little girl, almost two years old, with pigtails.
She was reaching out to grab the beard of Yin who was lying there and pulling him back hard.
But it didn't pull down.
Yin looked disgusted and helpless.
As soon as she let go, Yin immediately got up and ran away.
Bian Mei was holding a one-month-old baby in her arms, a baby boy.
Other people gave birth to boys, while she gave birth to a daughter. Yu Qing curled her lips secretly and prepared to hurry up and have another child.
Seeing Cao Cao enter the inner courtyard, Yu Qing gave him a look that only husband and wife could understand.
Meet in the evening?
Cao Cao understood what he meant.
He came to Bian Mei, where his second son was sleeping soundly in his mother's arms.
Cao Cao reached out and touched his little face, then sat down to talk with his wives and concubines and have dinner together.
At night, Cao Cao and Yu Qing treated headaches two or three times.
Yu Qing exclaimed that he was exhausted and all his energy and spirit had been taken away by Cao Cao.
She lay on the couch, groaning and saying she wanted to sleep, her eyes so tired that she couldn't open them.
"Qing'er, I will be heading north to supervise the war in a few days. You should stay at home and get along with Qingyu and the others. If you have time, you may want to arrange our marriage."
Marriage... Yu Qing was no longer sleepy: "Will you let me take charge of the marriage?"
"Ah."
Yu Qing smiled and said, "I'm going to get some paper and pen to calculate how much it will cost.
My husband is the most partial. He gave all the money in the family to Diao Chan. That girl is humble in everything except her money. She won't let anyone touch it. She won't give any of it away."
"Just tell her to take out some money for the wedding."
"understood."
At the hour of Hai, Cao Cao came to Bian Mei's yard.
He stayed in Yecheng for another three or four days.
On a morning in late September, Diao Chan helped Cao Cao put on a scarlet cloak. She leaned forward with some shyness in her eyes, pursed her lips, and touched Cao Cao's face like a dragonfly: "Remember to be safe."
Outside Yecheng, three thousand elite cavalrymen were ready to go, with spears and swords like a forest.
These were Cao Cao's elite troops in the central army, led by the twenty-eight heavy cavalry.
Looking from the top of the city wall, even the way the war horses pedaled the ground seemed to be uniform.
The sound of hooves is like thunder!
The twenty-eight riders at the front were like twenty-eight metal barriers, with even their horses covered in armor, leaving only their eyes exposed.
Cao Cao climbed up to the top of the city wall, waved his sword and pointed it diagonally to the north: "Let's go!"
There was a thunderous response from below.
The horses' hooves were galloping, and the twenty-eight riders were the first to turn their horses' heads and head north.
Cao Cao came down from the top of the city wall, climbed onto Red Hare, and left the city under the protection of Dian Wei and Xu Chu.
He personally led the troops to the northern front to supervise the battle and defeat the Wuhuan.
Among the crowd that came to see him off were Cao Ang and Sun Quan.
Previously, when they went to inspect farming and water conservancy, the two of them also accompanied Cao Cao.
"How do the farming and other civil affairs under my father's rule compare to those in Jiangdong?" Cao Ang asked proudly.
"The land of Jiangdong is far less prosperous than the states of Ji, Yan, and Yu, and no one has ever held great power like Duke Wei and commanded the states."
Sun Quan responded seriously: "Yanzhou rents cattle and horses and lets the people cultivate the fields. They plant tens of thousands of bushels and harvest millions of bushels. This is even more enviable."
"Let alone Jiangdong, no one in the world can match the rule of Yanzhou."
“It’s fair to say.”
Cao Ang asked again: "Are the troops of Yanzhou strong enough?"
"The Duke of Wei is an expert in military affairs, and everyone in the world knows that he is much better than other states and counties, and even better at farming."
boom!
Cao Ang punched Sun Quan in the face.
"Why are you hitting me again?" Sun Quan covered his face.
Cao Ang took out a cheat sheet and said, "You secretly calculated the details of my Yanzhou farming, such as the yield and the amount of planting. Not only did you memorize it yourself, but you also wanted to pass it back to Jiangdong. Do you think I don't know?"
Another punch.
"Go squat in the corner over there."
"I do not!"
Sun Quan said angrily: "If you want to hit me, hit me, but I will never squat and get hit."
"You take advantage of your power to humiliate me. I am in Yanzhou and can only let you humiliate me. But I will definitely get back at you someday."
"Oh, you told the truth."
Cao Ang said, "I beat you with my own hands every time. I never used the help of many people, servants, or my own soldiers to beat you, so I didn't use power. If you fight back, I will never seek revenge on you even if you beat me.
So when we fight, it's not bullying, you have to understand this."
"We are of similar age, and we are not bullying the younger."
Clang!
Cao Ang drew the sharp sword from his waist.
Sun Quan was shocked: "What are you doing? Do you still want to kill me?"
Cao Ang said, "We two will fight with swords until blood is drawn. Do you dare?"
Sun Quan also had a small sword on his waist.
He also learned swordsmanship.
But he knew that Cao Ang was good at fighting. The first few times he was beaten, he tried to resist, but was beaten even more severely.
Sun Quan suddenly lost his temper and said, "I can't beat you."
"Then you squat down and get beaten!"
"Just squat, what's the big deal!" Sun Quan walked to the side and squatted in the corner.
……
Cao Cao led his troops northward. Although they were all cavalry, the horses in this world were fast and food and supplies could be supplied along the way, so the load was very light.
But it still took nearly half a month to reach the front line.
When Cao Cao arrived in Youzhou, Huang Zhong came to greet him in person: "Zhong greets the governor!"
It was already mid-October and a cold wind was blowing in Youzhou.
If they still cannot conquer Wuhuan by December, they will be forced to retreat and give the enemy a chance to catch their breath.
Cao Cao came to the front line and asked without rest, "Have you captured any Wuhuan prisoners since the battle started?"
"There are more than 2,400."
"Bring them all up here."
The sky was gloomy in the afternoon.
Cao Cao arrived outside the border town of Liaoxi County and looked towards the top of the city.
"This was originally a city of the Han people. We gave it to the Wuhuan to live here. Now they have occupied it and refused to give it back. This is really hateful," said Yao Jing who was accompanying them.
There were many corpses of Han people hanging on the top of the city wall.
Some of the corpses had their necks strangely stretched because they had been hung for too long.
Hundreds of corpses were hung on the side of the city wall, swaying in the wind, which was creepy.
The walls were covered in dark brown, dried blood.
"Before killing them, the Wuhuan people would first make holes in their waists to drain the blood from their abdomens."
“He was hanged on his deathbed.
This was the method used by the Wuhuan people when they hunted wild animals on the grassland in their early years.
After the prey was caught, it was bled and hung outside the tribal camp or dragged behind a horse.
It is said that the howling of an animal before death can make other animals that hear the sound tremble in panic, and even dare not escape, thus helping them obtain rich prey.
At this time, more than 2,000 Wuhuan captives were taken to the top of the city wall and knelt on the ground one by one.
Cao Cao said grimly: "The enemy treats me fiercely, and I will respond fiercely as well!"
