There are different opinions on Cao Cao in history, and his contemporaries also have high opinions on him. For example, Chen Shou, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, thinks that Cao Cao is "very human and very heroic". Before the Tang dynasty, almost everyone worshipped him, because at that time people thought it was natural to replace the decadent dynasty with moral people. However, after the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who came to power after the mutiny, began to belittle Cao Cao in order to maintain his rule. Cao Cao's critical discourse came into being: standing on the standpoint of "three people", while rebelling, he polluted the country, harmed the people, poisoned the people and poisoned the ghosts. Others criticized him as an emperor and had the heart to usurp the Han Dynasty. After the yuan dynasty, orthodoxy gradually became indifferent in society, and no one mentioned usurping the Han dynasty again.
In any case, you can write poems, and you can fight when you get on the horse. Cao Cao is a rare figure in the history of China. Yi Zhongtian called him a "lovely traitor". Cao Cao's literary talent is well known, but whose fate is Cao Cao? Sweeping away the dust of the years, the discovery of Anyang's tomb once again unveiled his mysterious veil, showing the other side of his extraordinary talent.
What are the "everyday faces" of a generation of traitors? These are the ten secrets that Cao Cao hid in the historical Wang Yang.
Cao Cao 1 Top Ten Privacy Exposures. Participate in extramarital affairs and kill the eldest son.
Cao Cao is a lecherous, looking for women everywhere. But once, the eldest son, Cao Ang, died because he was greedy for women. What happened?
In the second year of Jian 'an, Cao Ang, the eldest son, went to Zhang Xiu with Cao Cao. Due to the sudden attack of Zhang Xiu, Cao Ang was responsible for saving Cao Cao and died in Wancheng with General Dian Wei.
The reason why Cao Cao was defeated was that he was carried away. Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao with the help of Jia Xu. After the surrender, Cao Cao incorporated not only Zhang Xiu's army, but also Zhang Xiu's aunt.
Cao Cao is very proud. After entering Zhang Xiu, he developed old habits again. When he heard that Zhang Xiu's widow Menstruation was a beautiful woman, he sent someone to the military camp.
When the news that Cao Cao was with his aunt reached Zhang Xiu's ears, Zhang Xiu was very angry and often complained to him. Cao Cao also heard these complaints. Cao Cao tried to kill Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu found out that he attacked Cao Cao first. Cao Cao was caught off guard and ran away. When Cao Cao escaped, his horse died. Cao Ang gave his horse to Cao Cao to protect his father. Cao Cao survived, but Cao Ang died by the sword of Zhang Xiu.
I feel sorry for Cao Cao's death in Cao Ang, but there is one person who is sadder than Cao Cao, and that is his first wife, Ding Furen. Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao. Cao Ang's biological mother, Mrs. Liu, died young and was brought up without children or daughters. She is regarded as her biological mother. Later, when Cao Ang was killed, Ding Furen cried her eyes out and often cursed Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was very angry and sent her home. Later, he personally went to Mrs. Ding's house to meet her, but sat in front of the loom to weave for her. Cao Cao caressed her back and said softly, "Let's go home by car together." Ding Furen ignored him. Cao Cao went out and turned to ask, can you come back with me? Ding Furen still ignored him. Cao Cao had no choice but to break up with her. With Cao Cao's temper and ferocity, it is not easy to do this. In addition, Cao Cao also asked Ding Furen to remarry, but was rejected, and her parents did not dare. Even if you dare to get married, no one dares to get married.
2, according to, pregnant women also kill people.
After the "Jade Belt Imperial Decree Incident" was exposed, Cao Cao wantonly slaughtered the planners and even dragged Dong Guiren out of the palace to kill him.
In the summer of 199, during the Jian 'an period of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei was ordered by Cao Cao to stop Yuan Shu with a great army near Xuzhou. When Yuan Shu died, Liu Bei took the opportunity to occupy Xuzhou and openly raised the flag against Cao Cao.
Why did Liu Bei resist Cao Cao? Modern scholars seem to think little about this problem. They like to see it as a competition between two heroes, just like a competition between two entrepreneurs. However, this was not the case at first.
It should be said that Cao Cao admired Liu Bei very much, although Liu Bei helped Tao Qian's Xuzhou secretariat. Cao Cao claimed that Tao Qian was the enemy who killed his father, so he led an army to attack Xuzhou and killed five cities in Xuzhou: Pengcheng, Fuyang, Caoqu, Lingling and Xiaqiu. Shortly after the war in Xuzhou, Tao Qian fell ill and entrusted Xuzhou to Liu Bei before he died. Later, Lu Bu plotted to seize Xuzhou, forcing Liu Bei to find Cao Cao. Cao Cao also let bygones be bygones, and appointed him as Yuzhou Pastor in the name of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. Emperor Xian of Han also liked him very much and worshipped him as the general of Yicheng Zuo.
The distant ancestor of Liu Bei was Liu Sheng, one of the fourteen sons of Han Jing. Liu Sheng's youngest sons, Liu Zhen and Lu Chengting, were demoted to civilians by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for lack of gold. Although Liu Bei is a distant uncle of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, he was born in humble background. His father died too early, and he had to weave mats and sell shoes with his mother since he was a child. Therefore, compared with Cao Cao, who was born in a rich family, Liu Bei is not a very greedy person. From a small businessman to a respected official like the emperor and prime minister, Liu Bei should be very satisfied.
Unlike Cao Cao, Liu Bei is a person who attaches great importance to morality. As a teenager, Liu Bei studied with Lu Zhi, a master of Confucian classics, for two years. Although he has never learned to write poetry, he knows the truth of being a man. If Cao Cao is a leader with noble sentiments, Liu Bei will surely become his good friend, just as Liu Bei became a good friend of Kong Rong and Tao Qian. In this way, Liu Bei will not resist Cao Cao, but will treat him sincerely.
However, Cao Cao is not a sincere and noble person. What he considers is not how to become a qualified prime minister, but how to use his power to seek personal interests. Therefore, when evaluating Cao Cao in history, he always said that his name was Han Xiang, but he was actually a thief in the Han Dynasty.
In addition, Cao Cao, as the prime minister of Dahan Dynasty, often bullied Emperor Dahan at will. Imagine, as the boss of an enterprise, how would you feel if you had an employee like Cao Cao? As a person with conscience, what would you do if you had a colleague like Cao Cao? Liu Bei is such a man with a conscience. He was shocked by Cao Cao's meanness and cruelty.
What prompted Liu Bei to make up his mind to deal with Cao was the "Emperor" incident that happened in Jian 'an Spring four years ago. One day, Xian Di gave Dong Cheng, who was riding a motorcycle, a belt inlaid with white jade. When Dong Cheng came home, he found an imperial edict written in blood in his clothes. In the imperial edict of blood, the angry Emperor Xian of Han asked him to invite a group of loyal ministers to design and destroy Cao Cao. On the surface, Liu Bei seems to be an accomplice trained by Cao Cao, but in fact, he is just a loyal minister of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. When Dong Cheng and others showed blood to Liu Bei, he immediately expressed his willingness to join the anti-Cao alliance.
In such a terrible environment, resisting Cao Cao means losing your mind at any time. If Liu Bei doesn't object to Cao Cao, he can easily live his life as a senior official. Or, he can get more benefits by buttering up Cao Cao. What kind of power made Liu Bei resolutely stand on the opposite side of Cao Cao and even sacrificed his happy life and life?
Liu Bei announced in Xuzhou that he opposed Cao Cao's Spring Festival the following year, and Cao Cao discovered the secret of the imperial edict. Cao Cao immediately killed General Dong Cheng, Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Prince Fu of Changshu, commentator Wu Shuo, General Wu and their families. In the anti-Cao alliance, only Liu Bei and Liang Taishou survived.
Then Cao Cao entered the palace with a sword in his hand and strangled Dong Guifei, the favorite of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, with Bai Lian. Dong Guifei is pregnant for five months and is the younger sister of Dong Cheng, the mastermind of the imperial edict.
