Emperor Cao Cao of Wei, who had been building peace for twenty years, obtained a sword in Yugu, three feet and six inches long, with gold characters on it, and the inscription Meng De. The king often obeyed.

Heroes are lost in the long river of history, and the rare treasures left behind are buried deep in the ground, waiting for their next owner. Some people are blessed with chance, but some people are artificially hard-working. For example, Cao Cao, the Emperor of Weiwu, specially formed an "archaeological" team to do some grave robbery and excavation activities. Rely on the dedication of the dead to dig out a great world!

Some people must not be able to figure it out: at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes rose up. Why did Cao Cao alone start by digging the graves of people's ancestors? Cao Cao was from a family of officials and eunuchs, and his son Cao Song was a prince, ranked third duke and had a rich family, so was it necessary to do such a disastrous thing?
In fact, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was an extremely miserly person. Cao Cao Chen left his troops, and Cao Song took all his family property and ran to Xuzhou with his younger son Cao De to take refuge, and not a single copper plate was left for Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, due to the fact that there was a little contradiction between Qian Duo and Cao Cao, Cao Song was quickly hiccuped by Xuzhou Mu Taoqian.
The soldiers ask for money, and at the same time, they also need a large number of combat weapons, and they do not give any of the old beans, where does the money come from?
Chen Liu has been an important regional political and economic center since the Warring States period, and there are countless clans.
However, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after suffering from the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, most of the people of the family clan took refuge in money like Cao Song. These rich men took away the money, but they did not take away their ancestors and what was buried underground.
Therefore, Cao Cao started the idea of robbing tombs and digging graves. There are still a lot of treasures dug up, including the Heavenly Sword he often wears, which is the legendary artifact Mo Evil dug up from the Spring and Autumn Tomb "Three Kings Tomb"!
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Chu asked the sword-casting master Gan to build the Mo Xie couple into the best sword in the world. After three years of refining, the couple forged male and female swords.
General Gan left the male sword behind, ready to give the female sword to the King of Chu, and hid the male sword. Because he knew that the King of Chu would definitely kill him on the day he got the sword in order to be afraid that they would build a better sword, and sure enough, gan would be killed by the King of Chu. His son, Red Nose, wanted revenge. An assassin said to him, "As long as you give me your sword and your head, I will definitely kill the King of Chu for you." ”
The assassin took the head of the red nose and the sword to the king of Chu, the king of Chu ordered to boil the head of the red nose with a mouthful of big ding, but it was not boiled for three days and three nights, the king of Chu felt curious, ran to the front of the ding to see, the assassin took the opportunity to kill and cut off the head of the king of Chu, and cut off his own head into the ding. The three heads were boiled up suddenly, and the Chu people could not distinguish that it was the head of the King of Chu, so they had to be buried together, which was the legendary "Tomb of the Three Kings".
Cao Pi only called himself emperor for 6 years and lived for forty years. So many major national events were not handled, but they compiled a "Biography of The Column" that posterity thought was a novel.
The son did not speak strangely and chaoticly, and Cao Pi, who could be selected as the talented "Three Caos" and was on the throne, should know the key to the rule of the world of "incivility and non-speech". But why did he spend his energy on writing the Book of The Legend of the Strangers himself? If it weren't for Lieutenant Jin, where did he get the material? Perhaps, he just wanted to record the history of Cao's fortune in another way.
Obviously, according to the records of the "Legend of The Different Legends" and the "Records of Ancient and Modern Swords", it is not difficult to infer that the "Tomb of the Three Kings" was discovered by the Cao family's gold-touching troops and obtained the Mo Evil Sword. In order to hide his eyes and ears, Cao Cao engraved his own word "Meng De" on the sword, which became the well-known Yitian Sword for posterity. Cao Cao could not have imagined in his dreams that this ugly incident of his was actually recorded by his son Cao Pi, and the Yitian Sword was the ancient famous sword "Mo Evil"!
