083 Xiongnu Golden Man Offering Sacrifice to Heaven

Zhuge Tian and the others didn't expect that they could hear such exciting things while hiding in this horse feed room.

If this happened in Wolong Village, I guess several people would have brought their small stools and were eating melon seeds while adding fuel to the fire.

Just as that person said, Cao Hong thought he was the one who took advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect that the other party had already anticipated that there would be problems for a general like him to be assigned to manage the baggage.

So he set up a trap for him in advance.

Moreover, Cao Hong usually ate and lived together with his personal soldiers.

This person actually added this medicine into their food.

Just a moment after taking action, I felt a palpitation in my heart.

The two bodyguards were injured by the enemy.

"Damn it!" Cao Hong gritted his teeth and raised the sword in his hand to force the opponent back.

He had long felt that the other party had infiltrated deeply, so this time in order to dig them out, he only brought a few personal soldiers.

I'm just afraid of the news leaking out.

I didn't expect that I would fall into the other party's trap.

These people all aimed at his vital points and obviously had no intention of leaving anyone alive.

Is it possible... that I will have to explain myself here today?

Just when Cao Hong was about to fight to the death, a voice suddenly came from the innermost part of the compartment.

"That's about it. Besides General Cao, the others here should also be able to fetch a good price from Boss Cao."

Before he finished speaking, the horse feed inside was blown away and four figures rushed out.

"Looking for death!" A strong man with a gloomy face didn't know where these people came from, but he had no intention of leaving any of them alive today.

Two of them were assigned to block Cao Hong and his men, and the remaining seven people plus him all rushed towards Zhuge Tian and his men.

These eight people were all tall and had fierce looks.

Eight to four, the advantage is on my side!

"Zilong, let's compete..." Liao Hua swung his sword and said half of his words when he saw three of the eight people on the opposite side covering their throats and falling down with blood spurting out.

"What did you say?" Zhao Yun drew his gun and looked at him with a smile.

"Ahem... It's nothing. I said I wanted to keep a few of them alive so I could sell them for money!"

Those people never dreamed that in such a horse feed room, there would be a person who was almost the ceiling of military power in the Three Kingdoms period hiding.

With a spear in hand, after a few encounters, six out of the ten people on the opposite side died, and the remaining four were being chased and beaten by Zhao Yun.

"General Cao, nice to meet you again, but it's best to tell your men not to act rashly." Zhuge Tian said to him with a smile, "Otherwise..."

Cao Hong was surprised to see Zhuge Tian and others rushing out, and then realized that this was their chance.

I originally wanted to lead people to break out, but I didn't expect Zhuge Tian and Liao Hua to come around directly.

After chopping down the two spies guarding them, they guarded the exit.

"Zhuge Hanxing! What are you doing..." Cao Hong's face changed after he finished speaking: "You want to attack Wuyin City!"

Zhuge Tian raised his eyebrows: "You can guess this?"

"Nonsense! You ordinary villagers in Wolong Village eat delicious food every day. Are you really going to beg for alms in my supply camp?"

Cao Hong said gloomily, "I'm afraid your army is already outside Wuyin City, planning to wait for the baggage camp to catch fire or something, and then take advantage of the chaos to launch a surprise attack?"

In an instant, Cao Hong saw through Zhuge Tian and the others' thoughts.

We were careless. These guys had cotton coats and pants to keep warm, so the cold didn't have that much impact on them.

I just don’t know how the other party marched here. It’s not easy to march in such heavy snow.

The two of them only exchanged a few words when Zhao Yun had already knocked the remaining four people to the ground.

Keeping someone alive is more troublesome than shooting him to death.

"How about it, General Cao, do you want to ask a question?" Zhuge Tian asked with a smile.

Cao Hong was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"You want to ask him a question? If you want, just ask. Yeah, I'll charge you 5000 wen for a quarter of an hour."

"Cough cough cough..."

Cao Hong was still wondering why Zhuge Tian was so kind today, but he almost sprained his waist because of a sudden sentence he said next.

"Row!"

Cao Hong looked at the man tied up by Liao Hua with anger and asked, "Who are you?"

"Haha, General Cao, we are your subordinates, have you forgotten?"

"You!" Cao Hong glared at him. "I advise you not to seek hardship."

"Ah, then I remembered it wrongly. I am actually a subordinate of Gongsun Zan."

"Gongsun Zan?" Cao Hong was stunned, then realized that the other party might have said it casually.

Not to mention that Gongsun Zan's arms couldn't reach that far, even now Gongsun Zan has already burned himself to death.

His territory had long been annexed by Yuan Shao.

And what good would it be for Gongsun Zan to kill them?

"Yes, Gongsun Zan said that he would give us 100 coins for every Cao general we killed."

The man was still talking nonsense.

At this time, Xu Shu came to Zhuge Tian and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhuge Tian looked at Cao Hong and said, "General Cao, it seems these five thousand coins will be wasted. But I have a piece of information. Do you want it? I will only charge you five strings of cash."

"Tell me!" Cao Hong didn't even ask what the news was.

Zhuge Tian pulled open the clothes of the two dead spies, revealing their chests.

There are two dark gold tattoos on it.

"Do you recognize this tattoo?"

Zhuge Tian asked.

Cao Hong looked at it carefully and shook his head.

The tattoo was not an ordinary animal pattern, but rather looked like a human.

He had indeed never seen such a tattoo.

"This is the Xiongnu's golden figure used for offering sacrifices to heaven..." Zhuge Tian said halfway, then said to Xu Shu, "You should tell me more."

This was originally discovered by Xu Shu. Xu Shu just told me that, and it seems a bit difficult to repeat it again...

Xu Shu nodded and said, "In the third year before Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu defeated the Yuezhi, drove out the Wusun and Yuezhi tribes, and occupied the entire Hexi Corridor."

"The Right Xian King of the Xiongnu divided the Hexi region among seven or eight kings, including King Hunxie, King Xiutu, King Zhelan, and King Luhou. The Wuwei area was King Xiutu's territory."

"King Xiutu held a grand ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven in the local area, and the 'Golden Man for Offering Sacrifices to Heaven' was enshrined in the center."

"However, this did not bring him any good luck. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, the Han envoy General Qubing led 10,000 cavalrymen out of Longxi, crossed the Yanzhi Mountains for over a thousand miles, attacked the Xiongnu, captured over 18,000 captives, and destroyed the golden statue used by King Xiutu to offer sacrifices to the heavens."

"The appearance of the golden figure offering sacrifices to heaven is basically similar to their tattoos."

Zhuge Tian looked at Cao Hong with a look that said, "See? You need to study more."

"How about it, General Cao? I think it's worth selling this information to you for five strings of cash!"

Cao Hong actually understood Zhuge Tian's expression and said disdainfully, "Say what this guy said again, and I'll give you another five strings of cash!"

"Ahem... So, these people are Huns?"

Zhuge Tian quickly changed the subject, then squatted down and ripped open the collar of the man in the lead.

"No?"
