Grave robbery is the act of those who enter the grave of the deceased and encroach on the relics of the deceased. In China, grave theft has become a problem with long roots.
According to researchers, grave theft is a phenomenon that appeared almost simultaneously with the emergence of the burial culture in China. From the Spring and Autumn period – the Warring States period, in the human world there was a story of tomb theft. During the Han Dynasty, post-burial was increasingly developed with large tombs, large scale and riches.
Even as the dynasty fell into decline, grave robbers were even raging.
And few people know that, Cao Cao Famous figures of the Three Kingdoms period were also among the grave robbers. In the past, when Cao Cao and Vien Thieu decided to fight, the contemporary great actor Tran Lam helped them draft a page “Vi Vien Thieu hiccup Yu Chau”.
Cao Cao (155 – 220), self-named Manh Duc, was an outstanding politician and military officer at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history.
In this essay, Tran Lam pointed out many crimes of Cao Cao. Among them was the crime of grave theft – an act that was classified as the worst of its time.
Moreover, the above-mentioned hierarchical page does not even hesitate to point out the sophisticated cult tricks made by Cao Cao’s men.
In fact, in the past, because Cao Cao was on a military expedition all year round, he did not have time to focus on economic development.
Meanwhile, supplying the army required a large amount of food. However, due to the effects of wars and natural disasters, food at that time gradually became scarce.
Therefore, he found a way to get rich quick to reduce the financial burden and solve the problem of raising troops at that time. That is stealing graves to exchange treasures for money.
Among his grave missions, the tomb that once helped Cao Cao get the most out of it was the resting place of a famous figure of the Han royal family. That was Luong Hieu, King Luu Vu.

Liu Yu (184 BC – 144 BC), was a sect and a king of the Han Dynasty. He participated in the suppression of 7 countries, disputed the crown prince’s throne, and was also the most powerful vassal at the time and had the same treatment and authority as the Son of Heaven.
Regarding the wealth of this king, historical records say that in the past, after suppressing the 7 countries, he was added to the fiefdom, owned a total of more than 40 strongholds and became the vassal with the largest territory at that time. .
The old history also records, in the past, Luu Vu in Liang country used to live in a palace with a total scale stretching up to 30 miles. Not stopping there, it is said that the amount of money stored in the warehouse in his maple land alone can amount to thousands of billions.
According to Luu Vu’s subordinates, his dahu (a tool for men to urinate at night) must also be made by famous artisans, and must use the first-class gold as raw materials, bowls or chopsticks. The curtain chain in the bedroom must also be made of the most expensive jade, his wife also uses a precious phoenix brooch, the phoenix image on the brooch is lifelike, only a brooch can be exchanged for it. a stronghold of another country.
Having both money and money, but when Liu Yu is old, he is still not satisfied, because he wants to compete for the throne with Emperor Han Canh, but eventually fails and is sad to death.
Emperor Han Canh admired the merits that Liu Yu contributed while he was still alive, so he built a mausoleum for Luu Vu according to the scale of the emperor’s tomb, called Luong Hieu Vuong Tomb. Emperor Han Jing, because he was not interested in Liu Yu’s huge fortune, took all his wealth to be buried with him.
As a famous figure in the royal family of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yu’s tomb can more or less stand until this dynasty is changed.
But the fact is that even when the Han Dynasty still owned China even in name, his resting place was “cleaned up” by a man with the name of the court’s son. And that person is none other than Cao Cao.
From there, it can be seen that Cao Cao not only aimed at the ancient tombs of the ancients, but even at the royal tombs of the current dynasty, he did not have any taboo or respect.
According to Thuy Kinh’s uncle recorded, Cao Cao that year, when he discovered Luu Vu’s grave, sent his army to break the coffin, the amount of material collected reached tens of thousands of pounds.
Thanks to that fortune, Cao Cao was able to firmly overcome the peak economic crisis at that time.
There is even an anecdote that says that Cao Cao’s attempt to steal the tomb of the Han royal family that year brought him such a huge amount of money that it was enough to support the entire army in the year. within 3 years without having to worry, from there having more support to claim one-way hegemony.
To this day, the mausoleum of King Luong Hieu Luu Vu really hides how much wealth there is still no way to verify.
Just looking at his position and wealth during his lifetime is enough to know that inside that vassal’s resting place surely hides a treasure of value that few can imagine.
