After Dong Zhuo came to power, Cao Cao saw through that Dong Zhuo would not become a big deal, and fled abroad to Chen Liu, scattered his family wealth, joined the volunteer army, organized an army of five thousand people, and from then on also began his career as a tomb robber.
Since Cao Cao formed the army, every day has been an endless battle, and the cost of military salaries is extremely huge, where to get money? In addition to confiscating the rich's money, tomb robbery is the fastest way.
At that time, it was the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the han dynasty thick burial style prevailed, the emperor's tomb was rich in funerary products, the local princely tombs were not too much, and any tomb could be stolen for the troops to eat for several months.

There were so many treasures in the tomb of King Xiao of Liang that Cao Cao had not moved them at all, and even so, this tomb robbery had also fed the army for three years.
After this tomb robbery, Cao Cao basically washed his hands and did not dry, because the tomb of Queen Li, which is 200 meters away from the tomb of Liang Xiaowang, has not been stolen and has now been excavated. Cao Cao could have stolen the two tombs together, but he did not, which can only explain one problem, there is enough gold and silver in the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, and Cao Cao is a tyrant and does not like to accumulate wealth.

This also starts with his political enemy Yuan Shao, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao already had their own strength, and it was time for a duel.
"Zhonglang General" and "Lieutenant Colonel" are both military officers, Zhonglang will be a close officer on the emperor's side, and the lieutenant is the actual commander in the army, so Zhonglang will be the commander, and the lieutenant will be the actual operator.
Cao Cao had taken his lieutenant generals and lieutenants with him to do no less to rob tombs, but he could not have blatantly set up these two official positions to damage his reputation.
Then "Fa Qiu" and "Touching Gold" must have been added by Chen Lin herself in the text to show Cao Cao's immorality.
Because of this article, "Fa Qiu Zhonglang General" and "Touching The Golden Lieutenant" became the special terms for tomb robbery, and Cao Cao was also revered as the tomb robber grandfather.
A piece of article sent Cao Cao to the altar of "tomb robber grandmaster", and also made the "Lieutenant Touching Gold" famous in the world, and it has to be said that Chen Lin is the king of "holding the praise".
