Han Homeland.

Summary

Every three years, during the royal ancestral worship, various lords, including the influential King of Liang, Liu Mai, and the wealthy King of Chengyang, Liu Xi, gather in the capital. Liu Wu's fiefdom was divided among his sons, with Liu Mai gaining the most prosperous land, causing tension among the brothers. Huo Qubing targets Liu Xi, planning to rob him during his visit to Chang'an, exploiting Liu Xi's peculiar habit of enjoying being robbed as a means to connect with ministers. Despite the risks, Huo Qubing and his group aim to seize Liu Xi's treasures, knowing that many powerful factions are also interested. The plan involves waiting for a clash between Liu Xi's forces and the emperor's men, then striking when both sides are weakened. This treasure-snatching tradition serves as a covert competition among the emperor and the vassal kings, with the ultimate aim of sowing discord among the emperor's ministers and creating a rift between the emperor and his officials. Huo Qubing's primary goal is to acquire warhorses for the cavalry, despite the complex political implications.
