Cao Cao summoned Yan Xiang to the military tent to inquire and it was as Xuanyuan Zheng had expected. The number one military advisor under Yuan Shu's command was really here to sell out his lord.
It turned out that Yuan Shu wanted to compete with Yuan Shao for merits and led his troops to attack Si Shui Pass. However, when he was ten miles away, he was stopped by Liu Huiniang's stone formation. General Ji Ling and his vanguard troops were trapped and disappeared. He didn't care about anything else and fled back to Yanjin. From then on, he was despised and abandoned by the other feudal lords. His Nanyang army also showed signs of rebellion.
Although Yuan Shu was a hedonist and superstitious, he was quite chivalrous. He was generous and never stingy with money. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, he used gold, silver and jewels to bribe the generals and strategists. Finally, he managed to control the situation.
Of course, the wool comes from the sheep's body. Under Hulao Pass was not the Yuan family's Nanyang. Yuan Shu wouldn't carry gold and silver with him to fight a war. Therefore, Yuan Shu's method to stabilize the morale of the army was like drinking poison to quench one's thirst. If the gap in the army's pay couldn't be filled, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yuan Shao's army in Bohai Sea had already collapsed. Luo Yang's Yuan Clan's seniors had already been killed by He Jin and Liu Biao. Yuan Shu had no way to immediately get sponsors. He could only think of some crooked ways to solve the predicament.
Just as Yuan Shu was racking his brains, an unexpected surprise fell from the sky. The general Ji Ling, who had been trapped in the stone array and had gone missing, had returned. He had offered a wonderful plan to quickly make a fortune, which was to make a fortune!
The so-called digging up gold from the mound was actually digging up graves. Wherever the grave was dug, no bones would be left behind. It was a special profession created by Cao Cao to quickly become rich by taking what he had and making up for what he lacked.
According to the information provided by Ji Ling, there was an extremely rich Emperor's Tomb near the Yanjin Vassal Army's camp. It was filled with countless treasures!
It was the tomb of the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, who at the age of thirty-three brought order to the chaos, led the twenty-eight generals of the Cloud Platform, wiped out the smoke and dust of the Red Eyebrow Lulin Smoke and Dust.
If it were any other duke, no matter how low their moral integrity was, even if it was the Flower-breaking Young Master, they would still be in awe of the Light Emperor Liu Xiu. They would never think of digging up the grave of this wise emperor. However, Yuan Shu was the number one madman in the Three Kingdoms World. He believed that he had the mandate of Heaven, so he did not have the slightest scruple about Ji Ling's plan. He immediately made up his mind, gathered his trusted generals, and decided to excavate the Yuan Mausoleum.
Yuan Shu gave Ji Ling a new military post and appointed him as the 'Middle Commander of the Qiu Clan'. He would be fully responsible for the affairs of the Yuanling Temple. It was unknown where Ji Ling had found a group of helpers. They were all tall and skinny people with high noses, deep eyes, full beards, and dark skin.
Digging up the Origin Mausoleum was undoubtedly a heinous crime in the eyes of others. Even the word 'heinous beyond redemption' was not enough to describe how despicable it was. Although Yuan Shu was fearless, it didn't mean that his trusted subordinates were fearless.
The main generals under Yuan Shu's command, Zhang Xun, Li Feng, Yuan Huan, Yang Hong, Chen Ji, Chen Lan, Liang Gang and others, were all angry. However, they were afraid of Yuan Shu's power and temporarily did not dare to show their anger. Only the Secretary Yan Xiang was the most flexible, farsighted and decisive.
Yan Xiang was certain that as long as Yuan Shu excavated Emperor Guangwu's tomb, it would be tantamount to completely alienating himself from the common people. He would become the public enemy. Not only Emperor Ling of Han and Yang Ye would not spare him, but also the other dukes of Meng Jin. Yuan Shu's future would only be deserted by the people and die a miserable death. Therefore, in order to protect himself, Yan Xiang chose to leak this information to Cao Cao.
After hearing the news, Xun Yu was the first to advise, "Duke Ming, this is a good opportunity. If we stop Yuan Shu's conspiracy and protect the Late Emperor's mausoleum, this will be a good opportunity.
If we make this matter known to the world, our meritorious service will not be inferior to supporting the Han Dynasty. We will be able to spread our prestige throughout the world and receive the respect of the people. The next day, we will separate Yan Xu and Jiangdong. Only then will we have an immortal foundation. "
Xun You also said, "What Wen Ruo said is correct. Destroying Yuan Shu's tomb will only bring benefits and no harm. Duke Ming should quickly make a decision. However, when you actually take action, you might as well use some strategy and choose the right time to protect the Late Emperor's dragon skeleton. As for the treasures in the tomb, we can temporarily allow Yuan Gonglu to run rampant. There is no need to rush. "
Yingchuan and Xun Yu, although both of them were resourceful and knowledgeable, their specialties were not the same. Xun Yu was the talented Xun Yu, who was good at strategy and governance. Xun You was the strategist, who was proficient in tactics and the art of war. He also cultivated the strange and unhindered way. Therefore, he immediately put forward a constructive proposal.
Madame Venus understood Xun You's implication. She chuckled tenderly and said, "Mr. Gongda's meaning is that we are going to do evil to evil? Let Yuan Shu steal the treasures from the Imperial Mausoleum and then we will snatch them from Yuan Shu's hands. "
Xun Yu just shook his head and sighed. However, Xun You smiled and continued, "According to the old legends, when Emperor Guangwu was still alive, he and the hermit Yan Guang, Deng Yu and Feng Yi of Yuntai's twenty-eight generals, used Taoist Huang's technique as the foundation and combined the righteous essence of the Confucian school, the strange killing technique of the military school, as well as the martial arts master's technique to surpass the void and break through the void. They refined a strange treasure called the 'Latent Dragon Transformation Diagram'. This treasure is extremely precious and has incredible magical effects. Rather than hiding in the Imperial Mausoleum and never seeing the light of day, it is better to give it to Duke Cao. "
Xuanyuan Zheng then added, "Not only the Latent Dragon Transformation Diagram, but also the Imperial Mausoleum where Emperor Gaozu killed the White Emperor's son, the Snake Beheading Sword, Chi Xiao, is buried. It is time for this treasure to reappear."
Cao Cao muttered to himself for a moment before making up his mind. He gave out orders, "Wen Ruo, listen to my orders. You, Zixiao, Wenqian, and Mancheng will guard the camp and take care of all matters. Do not go to Hulao Pass to fight. Mister Yu, Mister Xuanyuan, Lady Venus, Gongda, Yuanrang, Zhongkang, I will trouble you all to follow me to Mengjin to stop Yuan Shu's scheme and protect the Imperial Mausoleum. "
Yu He, Xun You, Beidi, and the others all bowed, "We are willing to serve you like dogs and horses and listen to your orders."
Let's not talk about Cao Cao and Yuan Shu mobilizing to obtain the Imperial Mausoleum of Hanguang Emperor Liu Xiu. Let's talk about Ling Kuang, Liu Huiniang, and the others. They were currently distributing the spoils of war from killing the enemy Bosses to quickly raise their overall combat strength to deal with the ferocious attacks of the alliance army.
Previously, he had fought two intense battles inside and outside Hulao Pass. He had experienced many setbacks. Although he had not achieved his highest strategic goal of eliminating Flower Crusher, he had still managed to kill Lu Bu and the White Witch, two top-notch experts, and obtained the diamond treasure chest reward. However, as Li Shishi was in danger in Xingyang and Yang Ye was in a hurry to save her, the treasure chest was not distributed. It was delayed until now that the rewards were given out.
In the White Witch's treasure chest, the most precious item was, of course, the Aquarius Constellation Golden Saint Garment. Not only did the Saint Garment have superior defense, but it also had the effect of increasing strength. It could also provide an endless supply of battle energy. Wearing the Saint Garment, one could ignore gravity and fly freely. It was comparable to a Void-breaking Martial Dao Grandmaster.
Apart from that, as long as one obtained the recognition of the Golden Saint Garment, one would be able to comprehend the mysteries of the Saint Seiya Universe's Seventh Sense and all the moves of the Aquarius Constellation's Frozen Fist.
Of course, it was not easy to obtain the recognition of the Golden Saint Garment. For example, Zhao Min only wore the Phoenix Constellation Golden Bronze Saint Garment. Chen Liqing wore the Immortal Constellation Silver Saint Garment. In terms of quality and power, it was far from the Aquarius Constellation Golden Saint Garment.
Out of all of them, only Ling Kuang had learned the Ice Snow Curse and her inner force was the pure Yin Heavenly Silkworm Divine Technique.
It barely matched the stats of the Aquarius Constellation. Hence, they decided to give the Golden Saint Garment to Ling Kuang for her to slowly study.
As for the other equipment and items in the White Witch's treasure chest, although they were valuable, they did not have any special features. As for Liu Huiniang, Galadriel, and the others, they were fully equipped, so how could they be interested in such items? As such, they gave them to the Liangshan heroes and the Three Kingdoms generals.
In comparison, Lu Bu's treasure chest was of a higher quality, and almost every item was exquisite. The double-hooked crescent halberd left behind by the famous Han Dynasty general Fan Kuai was not in the treasure chest. This halberd was broken by Yang Ye's sword during the battle and was kept in the Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace to become a crafting material.
There were four prizes from the Diamond Treasure Chest: a precious horse, a secret martial arts manual, a Golden Cloth, and a special title scroll. The horse was naturally the Crimson Dragon that Wu Dan rode. Out of the important generals under Yang Ye, Ling Kuang had the Jade Lion, Galadriel had the Golden Eye Camel, Chen Liqing had the Pink Dragon Horse, and Yang Ye himself rode the Red Rabbit Horse. Only Liu Huiniang lacked a good mount. Hence, the new owner of the Crimson Dragon could only be a female Zhuge.
This martial arts manual was the source of Lu Bu's invincibility in the Three Kingdoms World. It was passed down from the famous general Li Guang and was developed by Lu Bu himself. It could be called the Flying General Book. The Flying General Book recorded the internal strength of the Mighty Tiger Technique, the Heaven Destroying Halberd Technique, the Dance of Deities and Ghosts, and the God's Cry, and the like. There was also a never-before-seen skill that was supposed to be used when shooting halberds, the Xuanyin God Slaying Arrow.
Lu Bu's martial arts came from the military school, and it was a killing technique on the battlefield. It was overbearing and not suitable for females to cultivate, and it had a high requirement on basic stats. Yang Ye's Three Corpses Incarnation, Yang Hao, was given the Heavenly Halberd, but he did not learn any halberd techniques. As for the Xuanyin God Slaying Arrow, because Chen Liqing was unable to comprehend it, Liu Huiniang knew that Yang Ye valued Huang Zhong the most and wanted to recruit this general to sign the Heavenly Dipper Seal. Hence, she invested more favorability points and taught Huang Zhong Lu Bu's archery technique.
After learning Lu Bu's Xuanyin God Slaying Arrow, Huang Zhong also received an additional benefit. He was given a new special title by the Fortune Hall, 'Bow God'.
The third reward was similar to the White Witch's most important reward, the Cancer Constellation Golden Saint Garment. The Cancer Constellation Golden Saint Garment had the same abilities as the Aquarius Golden Saint Garment. The only difference was that the Ice Frost Fist was changed to the Demonic Corpse Fusing Gas that connected Yin and Yang and attacked the Primordial Spirit. The Underworld Wave, Ghost Grey Flame, Soul Burial Break, and even the forbidden technique, Spirit Shifting Wave, were all present. However, the difficulty of obtaining the recognition of the Cancer Constellation Golden Saint Garment and learning the Demonic Corpse Fusing Gas was much higher than learning the Aquarius Frozen Fist.
Liu Huiniang, Ling Kuang, Diao Chan, Yue Fei, the heroes of Liangshan, the strategists and generals of the Three Kingdoms, including Yang Hao in Jingzhou, none of them could pass the test of the Cancer Constellation Golden Saint Garment. Such a good reward could only be looked at and could not be used. It could not be used to increase one's combat strength. Speaking of which, it was normal. The Flower Crusher had obtained the Cancer Constellation Golden Saint Garment for many years, but no one could use it until he met Flying General Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's talent in martial arts was beyond that of a peerless genius. It was not something that ordinary people could compare to.
Liu Huiniang could only contact Yang Ye through the Heart Telepathy Technique. At this moment, Yang Ye was using the bloodline of the Ma Family's siblings to activate the Round Turtle Transformation. His Primordial Spirit was roaming outside his body to deduce the secrets of Ma Yuanmi's treasure map. At the same time, he also had to suppress the backlash of the Tusita Fire Purple Spirit Flame.
"Yang Ye, take a break for now. Take a look at this Cancer Constellation Golden Saint Garment. This item can help you with half the work and double the effort to uncover the secrets of Fu Bo's treasure."
