Is a short song written by Cao Cao for Liu Bei?

Your point of view is correct. One of Cao Cao's short songs is really addressed to Liu Bei. Cao Cao expressed his appreciation for Liu Bei with this short song.

According to historical records, in the winter of 208 AD, 1 1 month, before the Chibi War, Cao Cao, who was sitting at the bow, suddenly came to Yaxing, eager to write a poem to express his feelings at that time. Cao Cao's feeling is not how Battle of Red Cliffs won this time, but how to manage the world and recruit talents after the victory of the war.

In this way, there is a touching poem that has touched people's hearts for thousands of years and expressed their desire for talents in the world. He also wrote "Short Song Xing" for Liu Bei. What we can't deny is Cao Cao's desire for talents. In today's society, this short song can be said to be a kind of "seeking virtue" and a kind of "seeking form". Until today, this society is still the kind of idea that can make people have the impulse to build their great achievements with their talents.

Liu Bei

According to ancient books and historical records, in the final analysis, this poem, which was praised by everyone, was actually written by Cao Cao at that time to his opponent Liu Bei. Holding a glass, looking at the moon, and reciting poems, life can be as comfortable as it is now. This sentence looks like Cao Cao asking himself and answering himself. In fact, he is asking Liu Bei why, why not accept his wooing, why not come to his camp and win the world with him.

Three Kingdoms

In the final analysis, judging from the whole poem, what Cao Cao wants to express is actually very simple. Cao Cao said that Liu Bei and I are over 500 years old with so many lost time. Why are we fighting like this? Cao Cao deeply expressed his desire to make contributions with Liu Bei. So this song "Short Songs" is written for Liu Bei.
