Cao Cao laughed all the way after the Battle of Chibi, but why did he burst into tears after returning to Xudu?

Cao Cao laughed all the way because he could escape smoothly and was not killed by Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu. Later, when he returned to his own territory, he cried because of Fengxiao and missed Fengxiao.

First of all, we all know that among the major battles of the Three Kingdoms, the greatest impact is definitely the Battle of Chibi. It was also because of this war that the Three Kingdoms stood in opposition to each other. The strength of Cao Wei was weakened, and the Shu Han was weakened. Beginning to rise, it can be said that the Shu Han is the biggest winner in the Battle of Chibi.

Turn around and look at Cao Cao. It can be said that the biggest loser in the Battle of Chibi was Cao Cao. He was originally very powerful, but because of this war, his strength declined and gave Shu Han a chance. But there is a strange thing about Cao Cao. After fighting the Battle of Chibi, he escaped and laughed all the way.

Why is that? The reason why he was so happy after losing the battle was because Cao Cao was laughing at Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu for not setting up an ambush. If he had, he would have set up an ambush all the way to make it impossible for the enemy to come back, so he could escape victoriously. But he was not done laughing yet. Zhao Yun ran out, and Cao Cao's men tried their best and managed to escape.

In the end, Cao Cao returned to Xudu smoothly. Cao Cao was still very happy, because he felt that the war was so hard and he could escape back. He was really lucky, so he did what his subordinates did. A very profound summary. Cao Cao could cry while drinking. Cao Cao's men thought he was crying because of his failure. All the soldiers comforted Cao Cao, saying we can do it again if we fail, so don't be too sad.

But Cao Cao kept talking about Fengxiao when he cried bitterly, saying that if Fengxiao was here, we would fail, Fengxiao died too early, God is jealous of Fengxiao's talent, and then Cao Cao left .
