Chapter 564: What to do

Xuande arrived in Chang'an. At this time, Bai Lang had been pretending to be sick until he couldn't get up from the sickbed. As soon as Xuande arrived, he shed tears. Bai Lang laughed, "Why does Lord Xuande make this little girl-like appearance of shedding tears? Life and death are destiny." Bai Lang held out the Sili Colonel seal from the bedside, "Lord Xuande can let Yunchang or Yide take over this seal, or Kongming or Zilong is also fine. I know my own situation, and I am afraid I won't get better this time."

At this time, the other heavy generals, including Kongming, also came in. Seeing this peerless fierce general looking thin and weak, but now with a red glow on his face as if he were returning to the light, everyone sighed. The jade fish on Bai Lang's chest became more and more lively, but it was covered by his clothes and others couldn't see it. Bai Lang said, "I heard that Taishi Ziyi of Donglai has also passed away. Before he passed away, he once sighed, 'A great man born in troubled times should carry a three-foot sword to establish an unworldly achievement; now that his ambition has not been fulfilled, what can he do about death!' Now I am the same."

Acting the whole set, Bai Lang looked at the two women serving on the side and the two adopted sons, "After I leave, you should treat your mother well and work for Lord Xuande to restore the Han Dynasty."

Bai Lang sighed a long sigh, "I have known Lord Xuande, Yunchang, and Yide for more than ten years. It is a pity that I have drifted for most of my life and failed to revive the Han Dynasty. It is a pity that heaven does not give people longevity now, what can I do, what can I do." After saying this, he entered a state of "coma" of feigned death, and then "passed away" on the night of the third day of the second month of the fourteenth year of Jian'an. In fact, it should be called "died," but because Bai Lang was also a feudal lord, later history books used "passed away."

Bai Lang used the turtle-breathing technique of feigned death to collect all his essence and spirit into a place where it was almost non-existent, and his physical body was as hard as refined iron and would not decay at all. Liu Xuande also cried bitterly and personally presided over Bai Lang's "funeral." Even CaoCao cried and laughed, and specially sent funeral gifts, which were escorted to Chang'an by his second son, Cao Pi. Bai Lang "died of old age" at forty-five, was buried at the foot of Beimang Mountain with the ceremony of a duke, and Xuande honored Bai Lang as the Marquis of Chenggao and the General of the Cavalry.

Bai Lang's divine sense was scattered and not ignorant. The jade fish on his body still needed some time. Bai Lang felt that it was quite interesting to go through this process. He "died" in the second month and was not buried until August of that year. There were coffins and outer coffins, and there were quite a few funeral objects, but almost all of them were pottery and weapons. The cavalry under Bai Lang and the rangers who had followed him for many years also mobilized their own troops, with five or sixty thousand people digging graves for him.

This grave was built like an underground palace, and Kongming personally designed and supervised the construction, with many mechanisms inside. "I always feel that this Zhuge villager seems to have some ideas." Bai Lang's divine sense covered the underground palace, and he thought in his heart. Sure enough, Zhuge Kongming was practicing with Bai Lang's "grave." The Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces were arranged, and the underground palace, which was less than a hundred feet in radius, was arranged into a maze. This grave was based on rammed earth and fired bricks as the bottom, walls, and top, and the underground palace was ten feet underground and covered with ten feet of earth to form a mountain shape.

The tomb passage had been closed, and the eternal lamps were still burning. After exhausting the oxygen in the tomb, they would extinguish themselves. And Bai Lang's divine sense swept over and knew that when someone broke into the tomb and these eternal lamps were lit again, what would be released would be some kind of poison gas. Only when the two wives were buried together after they passed away in the future would there be a solution. "This Kongming is really proficient in astronomy and geography. Even this method of preventing tomb robbing is a set."

The time had come. Bai Lang opened his eyes before the jade fish was activated, and went away naked, easily taking off his brocade robe.

Time changed, and the Ji Han was eventually difficult to revive. After occupying Jingzhou and the Sili Department, Xuande entered Shu as a foundation, not expecting to lose several strategists and good generals. After occupying the Han Zhong of Shu, he fought several great battles with CaoCao outside the pass and in Jingzhou. CaoCao did not have the defeat of Red Cliffs, so his strength was strong and he fought on two fronts. The scholars of Jingxiang and Sichuan and Shu were eventually no match for the essence of the Han family scholars in Yanzhou, Qingzhou, and Jizhou. Both Shu and Han were difficult to advance an inch, and Bai Lang did not take Tongguan at the beginning, making both Hulao Pass and Tongguan controlled by CaoCao.

More than ten years later, Jingzhou was attacked by Jiangdong and CaoCao's army. GuanYu was defeated and retreated to Xiangyang. Jiangdong's water and land forces advanced together, and Commander Zhou Yu led his army to cut off the waterway between Xiangyang and Fancheng. At this time, CaoCao suddenly sent troops again. Liu Xuande led civil and military officials to fight a great battle. The three parties finally ended in a draw. It's just that more than half of Jingzhou was lost from then on. Fortunately, Xiangyang was still in GuanYu's hands, but Fancheng was lost, and Xiangyang lost a wing.

A few years later, CaoCao passed away, and the crown prince Cao Ang succeeded to the throne as the King of Wei. Within a few months, he "accepted" the abdication and established the country name as "Wei." And Liu Xuande also declared himself the Emperor of Han. Of course, later generations called him Emperor Zhaolie, and Sun Quan also declared himself the Great Emperor of Wu. The Three Kingdoms fought for more than ten years, and Liu Xuande also died of old age. In the ten years, although Kongming was wise and Guan and Zhang were powerful, they took back quite a few Jingzhou places, but Guanzhong could never break through Tongguan to shake the foundation of Cao Wei.

Tongguan was in the hands of Cao Wei, so Cao Wei could constantly send troops to harass Sili, not to mention that most of the northern Bingzhou could also enter the pass to plunder at any time. Kongming defeated the Cao army every time and even almost captured the two passes several times, but Cao Zhen, who was responsible for the western front, was cautious and finally kept it from being lost. And after Zhou Yu died, Dong Wu was defeated by Cao Xiu and Sima Yi in Hefei...

More than 1,700 years have passed, and the smoke of the Three Kingdoms has long since gone. Beimang Mountain is full of holes. For thousands of years, tomb robbers have emerged one after another. In troubled times, warlords have robbed many graves. Many imperial tombs have been robbed, leaving only that mound of earth, empty tomb chambers, and stone figures and beasts in the tomb passage. And Bai Lang's "grave" has never been discovered. This Kongming really has a hand.

In the past, because Chang'an was on the front line, the capital of Ji Han was still Chengdu. At least before Jingzhou was completely lost, the capitals and tombs of the two generations of Han emperors were in Chengdu. This is still a tourist attraction, Wuhou Shrine. The third person among the civil and military officials who accompanied Emperor Zhaolie of Han is Bai Lang. However, if Bai Lang were to see it himself, he would never recognize that the statue in it is him, because it is completely unlike him.

Bai Lang's grave has never been the most important target for tomb robbers, so it was not until ten years before the 21st century that a part of the mountain body of Beimang Mountain collapsed due to heavy rain in Luoyang, exposing the tombstone of Bai Lang's "grave," that Bai Lang's "grave" became known. Of course, it was first the tomb-robbing villagers and outsiders. The tomb hole could not be opened, could not be hit, and using explosives would be too conspicuous, so they could only try to blow up the tomb door.

The tomb door was just a stone slab. After blowing it up, none of the people who went in came out. As many as went in disappeared. Now the tomb-robbing group and the local villagers are in trouble. If they don't call the police, the people will probably die inside. If they call the police, they have to go in and squat first. For this big tomb of the late Han and Three Kingdoms, if it is not good, it will start at ten years or more. The police and the cultural and military protection departments arrived two days later. Before that, more than ten people had disappeared in the tomb. This could not be covered up.

The state's protective excavation is powerful, and it can be made public. After confirming with ground-penetrating instruments, a rain-proof shed was set up directly. This is not afraid of spending money. The reason is also simple. This is the world-famous first fierce general of the late Han and Three Kingdoms. The description in the storybook novel is like a ghost. This person's grave was discovered and it was not robbed. Not to mention professionally, even in the news media, this is a big news. ===== CHAPTER 565 =====
