Chapter 16: The Story of Yiwu, Phantom Sneak (5)

"General Qiqi Ma: When the craftsmen were repairing the dock, they found something special, did you take a look?"

"Finding something, such a fuss, don't spoil General Ben's alcohol!"

"White bones, a lot of skeletons and white bones......"

Yiwu has been abandoned for more than 20 years, there are broken bricks and tiles everywhere, among which weeds are overgrown, foxes and rabbits are rampant, bird and beast droppings can be seen everywhere, and the ground is still glowing with a kind of black gray, which is left by the fire, only the four city walls are still complete, and they are also covered with traces of slashing and sword splitting!

Recently, Ma Liu has mobilized a group of craftsmen and people to prepare to renovate the Yiwu to store weapons, food, and money...... As the base camp for the conquest of Yizhou, it is also a fortress of Chang'an!

In the process of repairing, the craftsmen found a place in the northwest corner where the grass had grown to more than half a man's height, and when they pulled it out, they found that there were human bones underneath......

In the war years, human life is like grass, and it is normal to find white bones, and it is enough to clean them out, but I didn't expect the craftsmen to clean up more and more, and dig out hundreds of corpses and not see the bottom, obviously encountered'mass graves', which was reported layer by layer!

"Most of them are young men and women, some are hacked to death, some are stabbed to death, some are still down before they can breathe, and finally they are buried alive to death, what a tragedy!"

"Most of them are innocent people, Wang Situ killed too much, so that he lost the hearts of the people, and finally Chang'an was broken by the rebels, and the vitality of the Han family was gone--alas!"

Xiao Yi, Ma Liu, and Da Niu came to the 'mass grave' with a little drunkenness, they fought in the north and south, killing people like hemp, and with a light sweep of their eyes, they knew how these people died and how long they died.

The corpses were all white and ossified, some with separate heads and some with twisted limbs...... Stacked layer upon layer, it is estimated that there are thousands of corpses, which have been buried for about twenty years, which is the time when Dong Zhuo died.

At the beginning, Wang Yun planned to get rid of Dong Zhuo, he did a great deed, and he washed the entire Yiwu with blood, wiped out Dong Zhuo's three clans, and wantonly killed those related to it, and even the great writer Cai Yong died because of this, which inevitably killed innocents indiscriminately.

Because when Dong Zhuo dominated the imperial court, many people had to make a false deal with them in order to save their lives, and Wang Yunyi killed innocents indiscriminately, not only lost the hearts of the government and the wilderness, but also forced Li Dao and Guo Yan to rebel, and also ruined the last hope of revival of the Han Dynasty, otherwise the national fortune would not have ended here!

"You all look carefully, this is just a small massacre, and most of the dead are innocent people, and although they are sympathetic, they are not worthy of pity, because they are all cowards!

Thousands of men were obediently tied up, slaughtered like lambs, and none of them resisted or fled, but they pinned their hopes on the mercy of the enemy, who were not only cowards, but also fools!

Natural selection, the survival of the strong, this is the biggest truth, if one day, you encounter the same thing, firmly remember the words of the father: rather be a killing knife, than be killed! ”

Xiao Yi called several sons and asked them to stand by the mass grave, look at the white bones inside, and know how cruel this world is!

This time, I brought out a few sons to hone them well, but Xiao Yi is a 'loving father', and he is worried that his sons will be too young to stand it when they suddenly see the bloody battlefield, so he buffered it first and came into contact with the breath of death......

"Wow wow...... Father, aunt...... Whining! ”

"Little brother, don't cry, we are the sons of the world's number one general, we must not lose our father's face, we must learn to be braver-um!"

The four children faced the mass grave, their performance was different, Xiao Yao was trembling, his handsome little face was full of sweat, Xiao Huang sat directly on the ground, and a large piece of wet was between his legs......

Xiao Xuan is a little older, and he can still maintain a certain amount of composure, and after spitting a few mouthfuls of sour water, he comforted the two frightened younger brothers, but it was the youngest Xiao Feng, who didn't look timid at all, and kept probing his brain to watch.

Seeing the pitiful appearance of Xiao Yao and Xiao Huang, Zhao Yu was about to go over to comfort him, but was stopped by Xiao Yi, judging from the general trend of the world, the war will not subside in the next few decades, and coups are coming and going, and both are accompanied by brutal killings!

If the sons want to survive, they must turn into a pack of wolf cubs and tear apart all threatening existences, and if they can't pass this level, their future may be dark...... I am nearly forty years old, how long can I protect them?

"You are all men, stand up bravely for me, what's so terrible about a few corpses, the emperor's hegemony, fame and fortune are all piled up of corpses!

Holding a sharp blade, slaughtering the world with blood, stepping on the accumulated white bones, and climbing the highest mountain, this is my ghost-faced Xiao Lang's son, if you can't do this, sooner or later you will be trampled under the feet of others and become a rotten corpse, understand? ”

"Understood father, sons will not disgrace you!

…………

There were too many bones, and the craftsmen didn't dare to clean them up, so they had to bring in a team of veterans who had been through a hundred battles, took all the bones, transported them to a distant place for reburial, and asked Taoist priests to do more than that, so that these undead could be freed!

Under the urging of one after another, several children plucked up their courage and walked into the mass grave, stepping on the accumulated white bones, smelling the pungent smell of corpses, helping the soldiers to collect the white bones, and carrying them up one by one......

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, but there was a sigh in his heart, if it weren't for this damn troubled world, who would have the heart to sharpen his own son so much, but since he gave birth to them, he had to teach them the way to survive, even if he finally taught a group of butchers, it was better than being bullied, right?

…………………………………………………………

"Have you ever heard of the treasure of the Dong thief, the wealth of the country?"

"I've heard a little about it, but I don't know the details, is it related to this Yiwu?"

"There is something to do with it, this was once the nest of Dong thieves, hiding countless treasures and beautiful women...... Now the beauty has turned into white bones, but the whereabouts of the treasure are unknown! ”

While the veterans were cleaning up, Ma Liu led Xiao Yi and Da Niu aside, and suddenly mentioned something, something that had been forgotten for a long time!

In that year, the princes of the Eighteenth Road begged for thieves, won two battles and two victories in Bishui Pass and Tiger Prison Pass, killed countless Xiliang soldiers and wounded countless people, Wenhou - Lu Bu also returned defeated, Dong Zhuo in order to avoid its edge, hijacked the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chang'an, and before leaving Luoyang City, carried out crazy plunder......

In the name of 'rebelling against the imperial court', he arrested 3,000 wealthy families in Luoyang, killed them all on the bank of the Luoshui River, and confiscated all their family property, gold, silver, jewelry, and coins...... The gains are endless!

and looted the arsenal, Taicang, the inner court, and the imperial city, which is the savings of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, not only gold, silver and jewelry, but also many treasures: what Sui Hou Zhu, green beads, dragon and phoenix bi, blood coral...... All of them are priceless!

There are also many historical relics, such as the dagger used by Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin, the sword of Han Gaozu to cut the white snake, and the armor worn by the champion Hou Huo Quai...... These are all priceless treasures, and they all fell into the hands of Dong Zhuo.

At this point, Dong Zhuo was not satisfied, and instructed his henchmen to secretly dig up the tombs of the emperors, queens, concubines, and important ministers of the Han family, swept away the burial goods inside, and made a windfall!

It is said that when leaving Luoyang, in order to transport these rare treasures, thousands of carriages and tens of thousands of soldiers were used......

After moving the capital to Chang'an, these treasures did not belong to the treasury, but all went into Dong Zhuo's private pocket, the world said that a rich man is very rich, often used to describe 'rich rival the country', and Dong Zhuo's wealth, that is the wealth of the country, uncountable!

Later, Wang Yunqiao made a series of schemes, killed Dong Zhuo on the Shouzen platform, and led the troops to rush into the Yiwu, killing the whole Dong family, originally wanted to recover the occupied treasures, used to recruit troops and buy horses, and revive the Han Dynasty!

I knew that I had dug three feet into the ground, but I didn't find those rare treasures...... As a result, Wang Yun was furious and had people set fire to Hewu, and Dong Zhuo's treasure was missing.

Some people say that Dong Zhuo's confidants transported the treasure back to Xiliang's hometown, some people say that it was hidden around Hewu, a very secret place, and some people say that it was put into a big urn and secretly sunk to the bottom of the Weishui River...... Anyway, there are different opinions, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood!

In the years that followed, many people had the idea of this treasure, went to Dong Zhuo's hometown to find it, excavated near Yiwu, and jumped into Weishui to salvage it...... A lot of people died for this, but they got nothing, and over time they gave up, just as a conversation after dinner!

But one thing is certain, who can find Dong Zhuo's treasure, the small one is rich in the world, the future generations will not be able to eat and drink, and the big one will recruit troops and buy horses, and there will be a few chances to win the world, that is the wealth of the country!

Now Cao Ying is using troops on a large scale, more than 200,000 soldiers and more than 500,000 people gather in Guanzhong, consuming countless money, grain and grass every day, although Cao Ying has recovered its vitality in recent years, how long can it last?

If you can find Dong Zhuo's treasure, which is more than enough for war funds and enough for the imperial court to spend for ten years, you can reduce the taxes of the people, but the treasure that has disappeared for twenty years has no clues, so how easy is it to find it?

"General Qiqi Ma, the soldiers have found another mass grave!"

"What, another one was found, how many people were killed?"

It turned out that when the veterans were cleaning up, they found a corpse pit not far away, and Xiao Yat and the three of them went over to watch, but they were also surprised!

This corpse pit is relatively small in scale, but it looks like a person, with an iron-cast mound in the middle, firmly fastened to it, and many peach trees are planted around it...... This is an iron mound tomb!
