“This is…!” Liu Mang and Lu Bu felt blinded by the sight before the s before One exaold and antiques, taken away by Dong Zhuo after he burned down Luoyang Dong Zhuo even had soldiers to protect the carts of treasures However, the sight in front of Lu Bu had caused him to stare blankly
They had never expected there to be a secret rooold
“How is there this much money?” Everyone was stunned
“There is probably several hundred thousand gold here!” Lu Bu quickly recovered The one that have seen more piled up money in his life recovered faster
“There is at least two hundred and twenty thousand gold!” Yang Hong gave everyone its figure Having ten thousand gold was already enough for a rich and influential family to live off for hundreds of years The ah for a nation to be considered rich Even the nobles did not have thiswas alive, he only had ten thousand gold There o hundred and twenty thousand here
“Uncle Hong! Why is this here?” Liu Mang asked with a frown Everyone loved ins of it
“Master This is left behind by the previous Lord” This person was Liu Mang’s other father-in-law, Yuan Shu He was soed to declare himself Emperor for about ten days
One third of the zhou and Yuzhou Half of it was given by the Yuan Family The previous head Yuan shi+ only had two successors which was Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu Yuan Shao went to Jizhou and developed there He did not return to the Central Plains On the other hand, Yuan Shu returned to Yuzhou and prepared to invade Yangzhou Yuan Shao may have been his older brother but Yuan Shao was conceived froirl that his father had bedded when drunk On the other hand, Yuan Shu was the son of the first wife As a result, he received the support of the fazhou
When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself Emperor, he was the ruler of the Central Plains His territory ranged frozhou and Yuzhou in the North was able to launch a pincer attack on Cao Cao’s Yanzhou Yuan Shu did not attack Jiangdong which was at his South but he had enough power to pacify Jiangdong Liu Biao lived in the same time as Yuan Shu and could also be considered one of the rulers of the Central Plain
There were terful alliances during that time The first one was Yuan Shao with Cao Cao and Liu Biao The second one was Yuan Shu with Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan Unfortunately, Yuan Shu proclai to be Emperor caused him to lose popular support and was chased off by Sun Ce Tao Qian and Gongsun Zan were also dead He soon found himself isolated
The wealth Yuan Shu left behind were those that he could not take away If he wanted to take away all thatthat, he would also not be able to escape with his life In the end, he si about this wealth before1 his death
Yang Hong did not iive the money to Lu Bu at that tiht of telling Lu Bu ones Lu Bu had obtained Wancheng but in the end, he did not
There were two reasons for this The first reason was that the situation for the Lu Bu’s Ar and Sun Ce was attacking It was impossible to move the money The other reason was if he were to tell them about the money, information would leak and provoke attacks He was also unable to say anything when Liu Bei attacked as it would disrupt Liu Mang’sneeded hbours, Liu Bei had just been chased away and Cao Cao is too busy to pay attention to the Central Plains It was the best tilu not use this money when he had it?” Lu Bu did not understand The h to expand the arsun Zan was able to hold off Yuan Shu for a year at Hebei, Yuan Shu should have been able to hold back Cao Cao for several years
“Marquis Wen Milord thought of doing so as well but he did not dare to take out this hed bitterly and shook his head It would have been great if it had been as simple as Lu Bu expected it to be When Yuan Shu proclaimed himself Emperor, his reputation fell The people from ancient times followed the Heaven-picked monarch Yuan Shu’s actions could be classified as a revolt As long as the people lived well, they did not dare to support Yuan Shu Many of Yuan Shu’s generals such as Chen Lan and Deng Ren had also defected
Even Sun Ce who once worked for Yuan Shu had cut off all relationshi+p with him and even attacked him
Yuan ShuBesides that, ahbors, only Liu Biao did not attack Everybody else decided to attack hi to do with Yuan Shu came to attack
He had enerals He even had deal with the revolts himself Why would he dare to take out this money? Not only would he still be unable to attack Instead, he would attract more enemies and traitors ant to take that money
