"How can the military commander say this?"

Wu Liang looked at Cao Chen strangely.

According to what he learned, daggers were often used together with swords in the Han Dynasty.

In addition to conventional weapons, some armies are also equipped with daggers for emergency use, and some officials also carry a dagger with them in addition to their swords for self-defense in times of crisis.

How come a weapon that is so suitable for close combat and hidden sneak attacks cannot be used by heroes?

Cao Zhen did not hide his disdain and curled his lips and said: "The two armies are facing each other. There are three methods of fighting: fighting of generals, fighting of formations, and fighting of soldiers. No matter what kind of tactics, long troops are needed to win. This can only be done openly.

Although the dagger used in a sneak attack and assassination is exquisite, it is a useless thing. Even if you win by luck, it will be ineffective. It is not for heroes!"

"I see……"

This was the first time Wu Liang heard this theory, and he thought that Cao Zhen was still too young after all, but he did not refute his face, and said smoothly, "Since this dagger cannot enter the eyes of the military commander, leave it to me.

How about we deal with it?”

Cao Zhen didn't despise daggers at all, and he was in a good mood after just collecting a batch of fine weapons. He immediately waved his hand and said casually: "You can take it if it is useful. It belongs to King Xiao of Liang anyway, as long as he doesn't mind.

, what does it matter to me."

"Thank you."

Wu Liang thanked him, took the copper dagger into his hand decisively, took out the Shu brocade lining of the wooden box, wrapped it around the blade, and pinned it to the trouser cord on his back waist.

As a slave, he was not qualified to hold weapons before.

At this moment, getting such a sharp weapon for self-defense is simply a major upgrade of equipment.

And he is very convinced that this thing is a magic weapon in this era. Although it may not be able to cut iron like mud due to the limitation of craftsmanship, its hardness and sharpness are by no means comparable to ordinary iron tools. Even if he is not a weirdo with amazing arm strength, he can stab

Wearing ordinary chain mail shouldn't be a problem either.

But the specific effect is better to be verified in the future when no one is around.

Firstly, it was to keep a talisman for himself, after all, there are still people who care about his life; secondly, it was to prevent Cao Zhen from regretting it, which would be a huge loss.

…

After checking the weapons room, the group continued deep into the tomb.

Not long after, they came to a fork in the road. There were three tomb passages to choose from, leading to the left, right, and front directions respectively.

"Young and talented brother, look at this..."

Cao Zhen and the other soldiers had subconsciously become dependent on Wu Liang, and they all looked at him eagerly, waiting for him to make the safest choice.

Especially Cao Zhen, he is the only person here who knows Wu Liang's identity as a "Yitong".

Wu Liangliang knew clearly that these three tomb passages were actually a corridor with a "middle" structure, which meant that whichever passage he chose could reach the main tomb chamber, it was just a matter of distance.

"Go this way."

After pondering for a moment, he finally chose the tomb passage on the left.

The tomb passage on the left will pass by the "West Palace" of the mausoleum. In the impression, the treasure cellar of the tomb of King Xiao of Liang is hidden in the West Palace.

Cao Cao ordered his army to secretly excavate the tomb of King Xiao of Liang mainly to raise military pay, and money is military pay. As long as there is enough money, food, ordnance, horses...what can't be bought?

However, not all money can be circulated.

As far as Wu Liang knows, when Liang Xiaowang Liu Wu lived in the early Western Han Dynasty, the currency in circulation at that time was the copper coin called "half liang" inherited from the Qin Dynasty.

Later, it went through changes, from "half liang" to "three baht", and soon to "five baht".

Even the "five baht" has undergone many changes from the Western Han Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Especially when Dong Zhuo came to power, in order to make money, Dong Zhuo actually ordered people to melt nine of the twelve gold figures (bronze figures) cast by Qin Shihuang, and issued a "five baht" that was jokingly called "wenqian" by the people.

This triggered extremely serious inflation.

In the end, there was even a situation of "tens of thousands of grains per load". People had to carry a load of money to buy a stone of grain. From then on, the monetary system of the Eastern Han Dynasty completely collapsed.

In other words, even "five baht" coins should no longer be circulated in the market.

The common people have basically entered the primitive trading mode of bartering, and coins have long been of little use.

However, there is one thing that can be used as currency at any time, and that is gold!

In the Han Dynasty, silver did not yet belong to the currency category, but gold had already become the superior currency of all currencies long before the Han Dynasty. Even in the 21st century, gold's status has not been shaken and it is an absolute hard currency.

So Cao Cao sent his army to excavate the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, looking for gold.

Unfortunately, Wu Liang could not determine where King Xiao of Liang's gold was placed. After all, there was no tomb chamber marked as a treasury in the later tomb sites of King Xiao of Liang.

In this case, it is naturally wisest to start with the money cellar.

In this way, a few soldiers explored the way in front, and Wu Liang and Cao Zhen followed behind. After walking about a hundred meters, they finally came to a wider tomb, which is the West Palace.

When Wu Liang entered the West Palace in his previous life, it was an empty stone room.

Apart from some niches carved into the rock wall and the basic structure built out of the rock, everything else can only rely on imagination.

But at this moment, this place is still a luxurious and magnificent palace.

The bedrooms are fully furnished with beds, tables, chairs, cabinets and other furniture. Although they have become moldy due to the influence of the environment, and some of the furniture has even been damaged, you can still smell a unique fragrance in the strong moldy smell, and you can judge these furniture

All are made of precious nanmu.

In addition, these furniture are also decorated with Shu brocade, which can also be used as currency in this era.

Especially on the large bed with complete curtains and quilts, it is used in a large area.

It's a pity that due to the influence of environment and time, the damage to those Shu brocades was also serious. Some of them have been torn and fallen to the ground. Even the ones that are still hanging are shaky and they may not be able to withstand even one breath.

"Sigh, these things will definitely not survive the 21st century. It would be great if there was a camera to take pictures now. If you take any photo, it can become a century-level major discovery in the archaeological world..."

Wu Liang shook his head regretfully, and then turned his attention to the table and the ornaments in the niche.

There is a teapot and a set of finely carved jade cups on the table.

The teapot is made of primitive celadon, which was just developed in the Western Han Dynasty, while the jade cup is carved and polished from suet jade, and a circle of gold foil is inlaid on the cup body.

There are some pottery pots of different sizes and shapes placed in the niches. The materials are all fired using primitive celadon techniques, with fine linen patterns printed on them. They are dignified in shape, have plump glaze, and are evenly sliced.

, judging from the firing techniques of the Western Han Dynasty, they should all be made by masters.

"These things can be preserved. In the 21st century, if they are taken out casually, they will be national treasure-level cultural relics, which are priceless."

Wu Liang's eyes were gleaming after seeing it, and he only wished that he could not travel in time and space between two eras like what was written in some novels, and he also had a portable warehouse with him.

"Young and talented brother, what are you looking at? There are only a few jade cups here that have some value, but they are also very limited."

Seeing Wu Liang's expression getting weirder and weirder, Cao Zhen couldn't help but say.

After hearing this, Wu Liang came back to his senses, smiled at Cao Chen, walked straight to a gap in the southwest corner of the West Palace, and stepped heavily on an inconspicuous stone slab on the ground twice to make sure that it was indeed
