Cao Cao pursued tentatively, not only breaking his eldest son Cao Ang, but also losing a lot of soldiers and horses, and the troops brought out from Peiguo were no longer one in ten. At this time, he had the intention to go to Danyang to recruit troops, but he had no money and food in his hands.

After being ambushed and escaped that day, Cao Cao fled back to Luoyang in embarrassment, but saw that the princes were actually celebrating their achievements, and they did not hold back the pain of losing their children at that time, and they were extremely humiliated by these people who enjoyed their success. At this time, if you raise money and food from him, you have already formed a grudge, how can you be willing to support him?

He was remorseful at the moment, he knew that this was the case, why bother to dig up on the ruins of the palace at the beginning, even if he couldn't get the jade seal of the country, he would not lose his soldiers, and then he remembered the persuasion of Huangfu Biao before leaving, and realized that the other party was really a good intention, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no regret medicine to take in the world.

Luoyang was ransacked by Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian dug three feet into the ground, afraid that there would be nothing left. Cao Cao thought of digging treasures, and suddenly thought about it, isn't it just drilling the ground to get treasures, he knows that there is a place full of treasures.

After nightfall, Cao Cao said goodbye, saying that he was going to Danyang to recruit troops, but in fact, he went straight to the north after leaving Luoyang, and it was with the intention of robbing the tomb.

The north is meandering, the back mountain faces the river, the terrain is open, there is the tendency of the emperor overlooking the world, so the emperors of the past dynasties chose to build tombs here, the celebrities and nobles are buried in this place is countless, and later the tombstones stand in a forest, there is no place for lying cows.

Cao Cao began to despise Sun Jian again at this time, and bothered to dig up a jade seal, which was like a hot potato, and he was reluctant to throw it away and was remembered by thieves. How good it is to choose a big tomb for this digging treasure, most of the funeral goods are priceless, and they are also landfilled, and you can have no worries about money and food by sending a hill casually, which is much stronger than planing the ruins of Luoyang.

Cao Cao ordered all the soldiers to surround the mountain late at night, and then led 800 Qiu Lishi into the mountain to find the tomb, Dong Zhuo moved the capital, and the people who guarded the tomb had already fled, which was conducive to the trip to touch the gold.

When the tombstones of the five emperors of the dynasty were still there, it was easy to find, so Cao Cao chose Emperor Gongling, Emperor Shun Xianling and Emperor Lingdi Wenling to excavate, after all, what he did was to help the Han family and take some things from the Han tomb.

I saw Cao Cao burning incense in front of the tomb, lighting a lamp, and kneeling and kowtowing.

"The world is in turmoil, and the people are struggling to make a living. The Han dynasty was in decline and difficult to survive for a long time. The princes rose up, and their hearts were different. Cao Cao wants to support the Han family, but he has no money to raise troops today, so he takes the treasures of the Han family and raises military funds, and I hope to forgive me! ”

After saying this, the oil lamp was not extinguished, and the owner of the tomb agreed, and ordered the excavation on the spot to search for treasures, and strictly ordered not to destroy the bones.

Busy until the second half of the night, taking all the treasures in the tomb, Cao Cao led the army east to leave Luoyang. It was rumored that Dong Zhuo destroyed the Han family temple and excavated the emperor's tomb, and actually poured the basin of dirty water on Dong Zhuo who robbed the tomb. After the princes of the Eighteenth Road formed an alliance to fight against the thieves, the world knew that Dong Zhuo was cruel, so when it came to Dong Zhuo's tomb digging and stealing treasures, those who heard it believed it to be true.

Cao Cao secretly peddled the treasures obtained from tomb robbery to the merchants of the family, made a windfall, recruited troops and horses, and felt that this method was feasible, so he set up a special captain to touch the gold, and control the Faqiu tribe.

Huangfu Biao returned to Hedong from Mengjin, and it was nearly a year old, so he had to quit the army to recuperate, recruiting talents on the one hand, and preparing for spring ploughing on the other, but he was so poor that he was overstretched.

Bingzhou is adjacent to Han Fu in the east and Liu Yu in the north, both of them are scribes, and there is no tendency to annex, so Huangfu Biao set his sights on Luoyang.

Although Luoyang has been burned down, it is still a treasure land of feng shui, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are fertile fields for thousands of miles, and water transportation is convenient, if the population can be introduced to repair completely, it will not lose the reputation of the throat of Kyushu in the world.

But Dong Zhuo is still in Chang'an, and there are not enough soldiers and horses in the state, so he can't garrison south, which makes Huangfu Biao uncomfortable, and he is a little greedy and swallows elephants.
