Having said that, in fact, Zhang Shan has never conveyed any information about Lu Bu to Wu Liang since Wu Liang let him go.

As one of the dozen or so people who can still stay with Lu Bu, Zhang Shan must know more about Lu Bu's secrets and recent actions than the average person. If he can pass this information to Wu Liang in advance, even if it is just a few words, Cao Shan

The boss would not have been so passive when he encountered a rebellion in Anyi, and Wu Liang would not have been so passive when he encountered a surprise attack in the military camp.

So this guy is not trustworthy.

But now that Lu Bu is at the end of his rope, the situation has become different again.

This guy definitely wants to live, and Wu Liang showed his intention to save his life at the right time, so he must show some sincerity... The important thing is that Lu Bu is now unable to fly, and Zhang Shan has no possibility of choosing a side.

, Naturally, he can only choose to seek refuge with Wu Liang, so what he says to Wu Liang next will naturally be much more credible.

And Wu Liang's current goal is not just to capture Lu Bu.

Because he had begun to suspect that Wang Mangtou was not actually controlled by Lu Bu, at least he was not the only one controlling him.

If this is the case, Lu Bu is just a pawn and a scapegoat, and the person hiding behind him is the real big fish. It is the big fish that Wu Liang wants to catch, so even if it is provided by Zhang Shan, a little-known secret agent

Oral confession is also very important, rather than just taking Lu Bu's word for it.

As for how to deal with this person in the future...Wu Liang will definitely not keep him by his side.

"Influenced by your virtue..."

Cao Chun only complained about these few words in Wu Liang's words, but he did not inquire into the details. He just nodded and said, "Then this person will be dealt with by Wu Taishi."

"Thank you."

Wu Liang gave a salute, then looked at Zhang Shan and said, "I've given you another chance to live. I hope you won't make a mistake. Let's talk about it first. What's going on in the cave now?"

"I don't dare. I reported back to Wu Taishi. Apart from the two of us, including General Lu, there were a total of fourteen people in the cave. When we came out, everyone was asleep."

Zhang Shan quickly saluted with a lower posture and replied, "But now I am probably awake. Because of the special environment inside the cave, even the slightest sound from the entrance of the cave can be heard far away and echo continuously. Therefore, Lu Bu

We didn't set up a sentry to be on guard, and we just let out a scream when we were restrained, fearing that it might have alerted the people inside."

"Um."

When Wu Liang heard this, he glanced sideways at Cao Chun, who was standing next to him. Cao Chun immediately understood and ordered his soldiers to send orders to prepare for the formation to prevent Lu Bu and others from suddenly breaking out.

"Where's Lu Bu? Does he have any powerful magic weapons that he can use to keep him close to him?"

Wu Liang then asked again.

"this……"

Zhang Shan pondered and said, "I only know that he now has a 'Gangmao' hidden on his body. It is said that this is Wang Mang's possession. Carrying it with you can drive away evil spirits and dispel charms. But how to use it? I have never seen him use it. I also said

Not sure."

"Gang Mao?"

Wu Liang frowned slightly.

"Gangmao" is also called "Gangmao of the first month". This name first appeared in "Hanshu·Etiquette": "Gangmao of the first month is two minutes long and six minutes square, or it is made of gold and jade.

The engraved text says: The first month of the lunar month has just ended, and spirits are scattered in all directions. The four colors are red, green, white, and yellow. The emperor orders Zhurong to teach Kui Long. The epidemic has just broken out, and no one dares to do it.

, Shen'er Zhou Fu, transformed into a spirit, both upright and upright, both goblet and square, the common epidemic has just been cured, I dare not take it. There are sixty-six words."

But if we want to say that "Gangmao" is Wang Mang's property, we have to raise a big question mark.

Because as far as Wu Liang knew, Wang Mang regarded "Gangmao" as a symbol of Liu Han. Because the word "Gangmao" contained the radical "Liu", which conflicted with his usurping the throne and deposing King Liu Xing, Wang Mang established a new dynasty.

Later, it was forbidden to wear "Gang Mao".

However, "Gangmao" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After the fall of the New Dynasty and Wang Mang's death, "Gangmao" soon resumed use and flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Later generations of archeology also discovered "Gangmao".

It's just that the earliest "Gangmao" discovered can only be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. Before Wu Liang's time travel, no "Gangmao" from the Wang Mang period, the Western Han Dynasty, or earlier were found. They were only found in historical documents.

Relevant parts are recorded.

However, Zhang Shan is right about one thing. The function of "Gang Mao" is to drive away evil spirits and dispel evil spirits. At least this is what is recorded in history books.

Therefore, it is difficult to say whether "Gangmao" is a magical weapon or not.

But for the aborigines of the Han Dynasty, this thing was equivalent to an amulet...

Thinking of this, Wu Liang's eyes became stern, and he asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Shan, you said that the 'Gangmao' on Lu Bu's body was Wang Mang's thing, then do you know the decrees issued by Wang Mang after he established the new dynasty?

Among them, one of them prohibits making and wearing 'Gangmao'?"

"ah?"

Zhang Shan obviously didn't know about this. After hearing Wu Liang's words, he was stunned for a moment, then showed a panic look on his face. He knelt down on the ground and begged, "Wu Taishi Mingjian, this is what Lu Bu said to the villain himself.

The villain has seen it with his own eyes, otherwise how could he dare to talk nonsense? If Wu Taishi doesn't believe it, you can ask him, he also knows about it!"

In order to verify that his statement was not a lie, Zhang Shan pointed to another Lu Bu soldier who was also captured.

"?"

Wu Liang looked sideways at the soldier.

"true!"

The soldier was worried that he had no chance to show off. When he saw this, he immediately knelt on the ground and kept saying, "Lü Bu does have such a 'gangmao', and he did say that it was Wang Mang's thing. Now Taishi has surrounded the cave.

, Lu Bu has been unable to fly, and it will be verified when Taishi captures Lu Bu."

Makes sense.

Wu Liang kept this in mind for the time being, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"

"No, no more."

Zhang Shan shook his head, but then he remembered something and said quickly, "By the way, does Wu Taishi still remember Wang Mangtou that the villain mentioned before?"

"Remember."

Wu Liang said calmly.

"The villain did not lie before, but he himself was deceived. Although Wang Mangtou often stayed with Lu Bu, he was not actually Lu Bu's property."

Zhang Shan seized the opportunity to clarify for himself, "The villain has also been spending time with Lu Bu recently. After hearing him talking to Wang Mangtou, I realized that the person controlling Wang Mangtou was actually not Lu Bu at all. He just stayed with him so that his master could contact him at any time. Recently,

Most of what Lu Bu did was the plan of the master behind Wang Mangtou, and Lu Bu just acted according to the plan."

Upon hearing this, Wu Liang immediately became energetic. Zhang Shan's words confirmed his previous guess. Lu Bu was indeed just a big scapegoat who took the blame.

Wu Liang asked: "Then you may be able to tell who the master behind Wang Mangtou is?"

"Forgive me for being stupid, but Wang Mang's voice and way of speaking are very weird. No one in the world can speak like him. It's hard to connect with anyone."

Zhang Shan shook his head and said, "But I can be sure of one thing, that is, the person behind the scenes must be in a high position. Even Lu Bu was respectful when talking to him, and he listened to what he said, as if he had

What kind of handle is in that person's hand, and it seems like you are asking for something from that person."

Even Lu Bu must be respectful and obedient...

This made Wu Liang a little confused.

Before this, he always believed that even if Lu Bu had a relationship with someone, it should be an equal and cooperative relationship. However, Lu Bu was fooled into becoming a gunman and a scapegoat again because of his bravery.

After all, Lu Bu is also known as the "Flying General".

Historically, he fought against the Black Mountain Army, competed with Boss Cao for Yanzhou, fought against Liu Bei for Xuzhou, and defeated Yuan Shu in the Jianghuai... Although he did not have a complete victory, he was definitely not comparable to the general tyrants in the late Han Dynasty.

How could such a person be willing to become a vassal of others?

Otherwise, there is really no need for him to kill Ding Yuan, assassinate Dong Zhuo, and rebel against Boss Cao. After all, leaving Ding Yuan aside, Dong Zhuo and Boss Cao are not ordinary tycoons, and they can teach Lu Bu to live a life that is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.

day.

But at this moment, Zhang Shan said that Lu Bu was respectful and obedient to Wang Mangtou's master?

This makes Wu Liang more and more suspicious of the identity of the person behind the scenes...

Xun Yu?

I always feel that Xun Yu doesn’t seem to have that much ability.

Although he was born in a prestigious family like the Xun family in Yingchuan and had a certain reputation among the gentry class, the Xun family has been in decline since Dong Zhuo took control of the government and Xun Yu abandoned his official position and returned to his hometown to avoid the war and moved his family to Jizhou.

, later, after Xun Yu left Yuan Shao and joined Boss Cao, Boss Cao took control of Yanzhou, and Wu Liang's timely travel prevented Boss Cao from returning to the pre-liberation period amidst the rebellion of Zhang Miao, Lu Bu and others.

, and later captured Xuzhou and Qingzhou in one fell swoop. As Boss Cao's power grew rapidly, and now he has welcomed Emperor Xian back, Xun Yu finally had the possibility of bringing the Xun family back into a prestigious family.

But at least so far, this is just a trend. After all, Xun Yu also waited for Emperor Xian to arrive in Chenliu before he became the servant under the "strong recommendation" of Boss Cao.

So with his current status, can Xun Yu really be able to control Lu Bu?

Wu Liang had a big question mark in his heart.

Unless this is a chess game that Xun Yu set up a long time ago. The chess game was set up as early as when Zhang Miao united with Lu Bu to rebel against Boss Cao, and Lu Bu was already Xun Yu's vassal long before that. Otherwise,

Xun Yu definitely did not have this ability.

And now the most suspicious person is Xun Yu...

If the man behind the scenes is not Xun Yu, then who can he be?
