Why did Cao Cao, reviled by the world, laugh at the end?

He became an official at the age of 20. At the age of 30, he stepped onto the historical stage for suppressing the Yellow Scarf Uprising. At the age of 59, he was promoted to Gong Wei, and at the age of 62, he was promoted to Wang Wei. He fought all his life for more than 30 years, fighting everywhere until his death.

Mao Zedong said, "In the past more than a thousand years, Wei Wu waved his whip and left it at the eastern boundary stone." .

Yi Zhongtian said that he was "cunning and honest, passionate and vicious, tolerant and vindictive".

It is said that he is a peerless hero, and some are too beautiful; It is not entirely correct to say that he is a lean man in troubled times.

His magnificent life has long been a legend beyond that era. He is Cao Cao, the emperor of Wei who held the son of heaven as a vassal.

Cao Cao is undoubtedly the most controversial figure in the Three Kingdoms. In the eyes of the world, he said, "I would rather be negative than negative", and he took the life of his good friend Lv Boshe.

His father Cao Chong was killed by people in Tao Qian, and he was going to attack Xuzhou.

Hua tuo, a famous doctor, was imprisoned because he could not always accompany him to treat diseases. A generation of famous doctors eventually died unjustly in prison.

Behind this seemingly impermanent war, it is the performance of Cao Cao's suspicious character, but it makes Cao Cao bear the eternal blame of not knowing right and wrong and the heart of a villain.

Gold is not pure, no one is perfect, and Cao Cao is not a saint. Contradictory, complex and rich human nature is also the charm that Cao Cao makes future generations yearn for.

At first, he just wanted to be a scholar-bureaucrat, but throughout his life, he became the overlord of the world trend. Why did Cao Cao have the last laugh?

1 Optimistic attitude, coping with difficulties and despair.

You can be pessimistic about the world, but be optimistic about life. You can be disappointed in the present, but look forward to the future.

Cao Cao fought countless battles in his life, such as the battle of Bianshui and the battle of Puyang. The soldiers in Chibi were in a desperate situation, but Cao Cao just laughed it off and always faced it with optimism.

Burning red cliff is the biggest defeat of Cao Cao's life, which makes the world a foregone conclusion. Cao Cao lost, attracting Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun along the way, and almost no soldiers were there. Finally, Huarong Dao Guan Yu was merciful and fled back to Xuchang.

However, even though he fled all the way in a hurry, Cao Cao still laughed heartily on the way to defeat and escape, laughing at Zhou Yu's stupidity and Kong Ming's stupidity. This open-minded attitude towards failure alone is amazing and innocent.

Suppressed the rebellion of Ma Chao and Han Sui, Cao Cao was killed, cut his beard and abandoned his robe, which made Wei Jun fall into a leaderless panic situation for a while. Unexpectedly, after returning safely, he just casually said to everyone, "I was robbed today."

Maintaining high morale in failure, Cao Cao is not afraid of floating clouds to cover his eyes, and his laughter is extraordinary.

Optimists can always find the positive side from difficulties. Cao Cao is like this. He greeted failure with a smiling face and responded to misfortune with courage.

Open-minded, don't forget old evils, tolerant and generous.

Letting go of yourself is open-minded, and letting go of others is tolerance.

Cao Cao always shows great tolerance to the people he worships. Chen Lin, one of Yuan Shao's "seven sons of Jian 'an", scolded Cao Cao's ancestors for eighteen generations because of his campaign written before the battle of Guandu. However, after Yuan Shao's defeat, Chen Lin was captured. Instead of investigating the responsibility, Cao Cao greatly appreciated it and entrusted it with a heavy responsibility.

Mi Fei, a madman in the Three Kingdoms, came to Cao Cao's account and scolded everyone under his hand. Instead, Cao Cao stopped the assassination of Mi Fei and gave Mi Fei a gift to let him go out.

Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, and both his eldest son Cao Ang and his beloved Dian Wei died. Later, Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao again. Instead of hating Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao married Zhang Xiu's children in-laws and sealed his career.

The so-called mature people don't ask about the past, smart people don't ask about the present, and open-minded people don't ask about the future.

There are two kinds of people in this world, one is open-minded and the other is depressed. Cao Cao is the former.

Love is more important than righteousness, and love is stronger than gold and America.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who value friendship and those who value material things, and Cao Cao is still a person who values friendship and is loyal to those who cherish it.

Cao Cao's wife, born in a famous family, is used by my concubine, Mrs. Yin. Mrs. Du was also a married woman before, and took her son to marry Cao Cao.

Cao Cao treats these adopted sons as his own, never discriminates, and often says to people, "Who else in the world loves adopted sons more than me?"

When Cao Cao entered his official career, he worked with Cai Yong and had great respect for Cai Yong. Later, Cai Yong died, and Cai Yong's daughter Cai Wenji was taken away by the Huns. After Cao Cao knew it, he redeemed Cai Wenji with a large sum of money, only to explain to his old friends for himself.

A promise of a thousand dollars, no regrets until death, righteousness first; A gentleman does something and does everything. The biggest disadvantage of a thin man is that his greatest advantage is often his attachment to feelings and righteousness. Cao Cao is very real and serious.

4 erudite, knowledgeable and memorized, talk about the past and discuss the present.

The old horse crouches, aiming at thousands of miles; The martyrs were full of courage in their later years.

Cao Cao's "Although a turtle lives for a long time" has been celebrated for thousands of years, which shows another identity of Cao Cao, a poet.

In fact, Cao Cao is more than just a poet. The seven sons of Jian 'an once worked under Cao Cao, on the one hand, because Cao Cao was a meritocratic man, on the other hand, he was a man who admired each other among literati.

"Natural History" records: "In the Han Dynasty, Anping Cui Yuan, Zhang Ziya, Hongnong Zhang Zhi and Zhi Dichang were good at cursive writing, while Taizu was good at cursive writing. Huan Tan and Cai Yong are good at music, Feng Yi (Feng Yi was a county name in the Eastern Han Dynasty), Go masters such as Shanzidao, Wang Jiuzhen and Guo Kai, and Zu Mao are all capable people. "

This record shows that Cao Cao is not only a calligrapher, but also good at music and Go. He is really knowledgeable.

Cao Cao himself loves reading, especially Sun Tzu's Art of War, which is very famous today, but it didn't have much influence in the Three Kingdoms.

But Cao Cao couldn't put it down and took notes for Sun Tzu's Art of War. Therefore, later generations also defined Cao Cao as a master of the art of war, and he was the originator and authority of the art of war.

All rivers run into the sea, with great tolerance. Cao Cao has been constantly strengthening his study and enriching his knowledge all his life. He can recite well-known poems in his later years, which shows his indomitable ambition.

Because of Cao Cao's erudition, Cao Cao also set a precedent for the later Wei and Jin literature, and Jian 'an's character was presented to the world.

Throughout Cao Cao's life.

Optimism and open-mindedness made him fall into adversity without decadence, and he remained unwavering in the face of crisis.

Attaching importance to feelings and righteousness makes him show a chivalrous and affectionate character that the world does not know.

Jian 'an literature, which is famous for its erudition, is worshipped by countless literati.

The Three Kingdoms period created Cao Cao's personal charm, and Cao Cao also reflected that era with his rich life.
