Chapter 38 Luoyang Shovel
Inside the Chenliu camp.
"Okay!" "Okay!" "Okay!"
Waves of cheers came from the onlookers.
Wu Liang squeezed in curiously and took a look. It turned out to be a burly, muscular and dark-faced soldier practicing martial arts in the arena. A flagpole as big as a telegraph pole was lifted by him with one hand, and he was walking among the crowd as if juggling.
His face was not red, he was not out of breath, and he looked extremely relaxed.
"Is this person Dian Wei?"
Wu Liang touched the soldier beside him and confirmed with a smile.
"Three Kingdoms·Dian Wei Biography" once recorded the incident of Dian Wei raising the Yamen flag with one hand. Unexpectedly, he was seen by him as soon as he arrived. Is this fate?
"Which battalion are you from?"
The soldier looked back at him and asked cautiously.
"The Hu army."
Wu Liang smiled.
"That's no wonder. I wonder who among our soldiers here doesn't know Captain Dian."
The soldier finally smiled at Wu Liang, patted him on the shoulder, and said in an experienced voice, "Let me tell you, Captain Dian is a famous warrior among our Chenliu garrison. Hold up the Yamen flag."
It's just a small scene. When I was conquering Dong Zhuo two years ago, I saw with my own eyes the scene where he broke through a ten-man shield formation by himself. It was awesome."
"Awesome, but this is strange. If Dian Wei is so powerful, why is he only the captain of the corps?"
Wu Liang asked deliberately again.
This is also a question that he failed to find an answer to when studying history.
It stands to reason that warriors like Dian Wei in the cold weapon era would shine like fireflies in the dark in any camp. If Zhang Miao was not blind or deaf, it would be impossible for him not to see or hear, so how could he do it?
Turn a blind eye?
"You've got to ask the right person."
The soldier raised his eyebrows complacently and lowered his voice and said, "It's only because Commander Dian ate too much and was too straight-tempered. Because of this trivial matter, he repeatedly clashed with the commander of the army, Zhao Chong, and Zhao Sima was so popular with Zhang.
The person whom the prefect trusts wants to suppress the chief of the army, how can the chief of the army ever get ahead?"
"That's it. Thank you for your advice, brother."
After hearing this, Wu Liang bowed his hands and thanked him.
Wu Liang didn't know much about Zhao Chong and Zhao Sima, because the history books only mentioned that Dian Wei "was subordinate to Sima Zhao Chong" when he followed Zhang Miao, and there was not much else.
Since there is no introduction, it means that this person is not an important person and has never done anything important in his life, so there is no need to take it too seriously.
But the funny thing is that this Zhao Chong is too short-sighted.
It's normal for a rare warrior like Dian Wei to be able to eat. Speaking of which, he killed a lot when he went to the battlefield. It's really strange that Zhao Chong could provoke Dian Wei to fight repeatedly because of such a trivial matter.
But think about it later.
"Brother Youcai" once provoked Zhou Feng because of "eating" matters, and he was killed many times, but it was somewhat similar.
Maybe this is the epitome of the times?
While speaking, there was only a "bang" sound.
Dian Wei had already put the Yamen flag back on the ground, strode up to a soldier, grabbed him by the neck and stretched out his big hand and said: "I have already raised the Yamen flag, but you lost. Bring me the cake."
!”
"Okay, okay, I'll give it to you. Don't do anything, I can't stand your troubles."
The soldier quickly took out two dry biscuits from his arms and handed them to Dian Wei.
"now it's right."
Dian Wei then smiled with satisfaction, threw a piece of cake into his mouth and chewed it wildly, while twisting his body as strong as a bear and walked out of the crowd.
This physique is as strong as two of me now and four of me in the 21st century...
Wu Liang looked at his thin arms and legs, then quickly followed him to chat: "Dian Lishi, please stay."
Dian Wei stopped when he heard the sound and turned around to look at Wu Liang: "Why, you want to make a bet with me too? What bet? Do you take the cake with you? I won't default on it!"
"No, no, no, I don't want to bet, I just want to ask Dian Lishi for a little help."
Wu Liang smiled.
"Help? What help?"
Dian Wei looked surprised, "Am I familiar with you?"
"I recently moved to a new house, and I need someone to do some hard work..."
Wu Liang said with a smile.
Hearing this, Dian Wei had a trace of embarrassment on his face.
This was the first time he had encountered such a person who dared to come to the military camp to recruit laborers, and he also found him as a corps commander. He was simply impatient.
Then I heard Wu Liang continue to say: "If Dian Lishi is willing to help, there will be enough meat and wine for Dian Lishi tonight, how about that?"
As soon as these words came out, the sullen look on Dian Wei's face disappeared instantly.
The dry biscuit he was swallowing stopped in his throat, and his eyes widened a lot, shining with a strange light.
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true. Is there anyone in Chenliu County who dares to deceive Dian Lishi?"
Wu Liang asked with a smile.
"Gulu!"
After finally swallowing the piece of dry biscuit, Dian Wei confirmed with some suspicion: "Brother, have you never seen how much I eat?"
"I've heard a little bit about it, but I can afford it no matter how much it is. I'm afraid Dianlishi won't want to come."
Wu Liangdao.
"Go, go, go! Go right now!"
Dian Wei was actually afraid that Wu Liang would regret it, so he quickly said, "Just lead the way. As long as you have enough food and wine, not to mention moving a house or a mountain, I will grant your wish. But if you dare to fool me,
But don’t blame me for turning against others!”
…
Inside the house.
"Brother Youcai, where did you find this weirdo? Such a big stone table is as light as a small bamboo stool in his hand. Is this still a human being?"
Comparing people with others will lead to death, and comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.
After Dianwei arrived, Chen Jinshui and several other elite soldiers of the Hu army lost their luster in an instant, and each one of them approached Wu Liang with horrified expressions and asked in a low voice.
"This man is called Dian Wei, and he will be my brother from now on. If you have nothing to do, talk to him more and get to know each other."
Wu Liang stopped the charcoal in his hand and said with a smile.
Inviting Dian Wei to the house today is a good start. When dealing with people, it is always from the shallower to the deeper. If the purpose is too clear from the beginning, it will easily attract people's defense.
"You have to get to know him well. Having a brother like this makes you feel at ease when you are away from home."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
As he spoke, Chen Jinshui pointed to the pattern Wu Liang drew with charcoal on a piece of freshly cut linen cloth, and asked curiously, "Brother Youcai, what is this thing you are drawing? It looks so weird.
"
"This is called the Luoyang shovel. This thing is very useful. Whether the brothers can have enough to eat in the future will all depend on it."
Wu Liang didn't hide it and showed it to a few people.
This thing was invented in 1923 by a tomb robber named "Li Yaya" from the suburbs of Luoyang.
Since its inception, the Mangshan area of Luoyang, where the ancient tombs of the Celestial Dynasty are most concentrated, has become notorious in the archaeological community.
But this thing is really effective in tomb robbing and drilling.
So much so that it later became a special tool for domestic field archaeologists, and even drew graphics in archeology textbooks to introduce its use, and promoted its use throughout the country, and thus formed a unique archaeological drilling technology in China.
, has also become a symbol of the archaeological drilling tools of the Celestial Dynasty.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Luoyang shovel is one of the best archaeological tools even in the world.
Although Wu Liang was familiar with many ancient tomb sites before the Han Dynasty, and could even tell the specific locations of many of them, considering that there was a gap of nearly two thousand years between this time and later generations, the topography would be more or less different.
If you want to improve the efficiency of tomb robbing, the Luoyang shovel is still an indispensable artifact.
In addition, Wu Liang also plans to build a batch of engineering shovels as special tools for the Hu army.
