Wife is someone else's good, and Jiangshan is his own good. Why does Cao Cao think so?

Cao Cao: I don't even know myself when I am divided.

Luo Guanzhong really didn't give Cao Cao his bad reputation.

as early as the song dynasty, Cao Cao's reputation among the people was already very poor.

in the song dynasty, folk storytellers told stories about the three kingdoms. when people heard Liu Bei's victory, they were happy, but when they heard Cao Cao's victory, they were worried.

Liu Xuande is regarded as the embodiment of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the guardian of the people of Li, who can save the people from fire and water and save them from hanging upside down;

Cao Mengde, on the other hand, is regarded as a hero in troubled times, a Han thief who brought disaster to Chaogang, and a villain who did everything he could.

However, Xiong Zhaozheng said, "A politician can't be judged by the concept of complete morality." What's more, the real Cao Cao in history has a complex and changeable personality, which can't be summarized by one or two labels.

Cao Cao is really lewd.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei jointly attacked Lu Bu and besieged Lu Bu's army in Xiapi City.

Lu Bu will be in Qin Yilu, and he has a very beautiful wife Du Shi.

Guan Yu said to Cao Cao, "My wife can't have children. When the city is broken, please ask Cao Gong to give me Du's wife."

Cao Cao agreed.

But Guan Yu was not at ease. When the city was about to break, he talked to Cao Cao several times. Cao Cao also moved his mind: Is Du's family really beautiful?

after the attack on Pi, Cao Cao quickly asked someone to bring Du Xianxian here to have a look. At first glance, he was salivating. Without saying anything, I left the beauty for myself to enjoy.

Guan Yu was deeply wronged. No wonder Cao Cao gave him so many rewards later, and he couldn't keep Guan Yu's heart.

when Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu had obviously surrendered. As a result, Cao Cao became angry, slept with Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou, and became Zhang Xiu's cheap uncle, which provoked Zhang Xiu to rebel again and attacked Cao Caojun's account at night.

Cao Cao was defeated because of his lust, and his eldest son Cao Ang and general Dian Wei both died on the battlefield.

but Cao Cao is also very affectionate.

Cao Cao's first wife, Ding Furen, was barren, and she always regarded Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, as her own son.

After Cao Ang died, Ding Furen often blamed Cao Cao: "You killed my son!" Still crying.

in a rage, Cao Cao sent her back to her mother's house, trying to make her give in.

As a result, Ding Furen, who is stubborn, has no intention of giving in. Cao Cao had to admit defeat and went to the door in person, stroking Ding Furen's back and pleading softly, "Come home by car with me."

Mrs. Dante has been weaving, never looking back, completely ignoring Cao. Cao Cao pleaded repeatedly, but Ding Furen could never forgive him. So, I had to divorce.

When leaving, Cao Cao told Ding Furen's family that he hoped Ding Furen could remarry and find a better home.

But Cao Cao couldn't get over the loss of this woman. Before he died, he sighed, "If I went to the grave to see Zixiu (Cao Ang's word), he asked me to find my mother, and I really didn't know how to answer."

Cao Cao is really cunning.

once, Cao Cao's army passed a large wheat field.

Cao Cao ordered: "The foot soldiers should not damage the wheat of the common people, and those who violate it will be put to death."

Frightened all the cavalry in the army to dismount, and carefully supported the wheat with their hands.

As a result, it didn't take long for Cao Cao's horse to run into the wheat field and trample a large area of wheat field, and the atmosphere suddenly became very embarrassing.

Cao Cao quickly asked someone to find the master book, and asked him to condemn himself.

The master book is also witty, and quickly said, "Justice in the Spring and Autumn Period is not respected by law."

Cao Cao said, "I made my own laws, but even I violated them. How can I convince the public?"

after a pause, he said, "Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the three armed forces, I certainly can't die, but the punishment is still indispensable."

After that, Cao Cao pulled out his sword, cut off a pinch of his hair and threw it on the ground.

Cao Cao cut his hair to take the place of the first. With a lock of hair, he awed the three armed forces, showing his true colors vividly.

However, Cao Cao also has a true temperament.

Cao Cao likes to tell jokes and chat with people at banquets, often ignoring the image, bending over with laughter and burying his head in a cup case;

After winning the battle, he immediately blew and sang, patting the saddle, touching the horse's head and dancing and singing, without any serious image of the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

once, in the battle against Ma Chao, in front of the murderous two armies, he casually started a family conversation with the other generals, clapping and laughing.

The enemy soldiers are all curious about what Cao Cao looks like, and they all push forward to see what Cao Cao looks like.

Cao Cao simply urged his horse forward and said with a smile, "Can you see me clearly? I Cao Cao didn't have four eyes and two mouths? "

Cao Cao is really narrow-minded.

Yang Xiu is the master book of Cao Cao's prime minister's mansion. He is knowledgeable and talented, but he often likes to show off his cleverness.

Cao Cao inspected the newly-built garden. After seeing it, he didn't say anything. With a stroke of his hand, he wrote the word "live" on the door, trying to embarrass others and show his talents.

As a result, Yang Xiu didn't know what was interesting, and quickly solved the puzzle: there was work in the door, which was a wide word, but Cao Cao disliked that the garden door was too wide.

Cao Cao is very unhappy. But Yang Xiu went further and further on the road to death.

A box of crisp cakes was sent to Cao Cao from Saibei. Cao Cao wrote the words "One Crisp" on the box and put it on the record.

Yang Xiu, who was quick-witted but wanted to die, made another mistake. He quickly solved the puzzle and said that the Prime Minister wanted to say "one person has a crisp bite", so he made his own decision and let everyone share this box of crisp cakes.

Cao Cao is even more upset.

Finally, during the Battle of Hanzhong, Yang Xiu made another death. From the password of "chicken ribs" sent by Cao Cao, he read that Cao Cao was ready to give up Hanzhong, so he took the initiative to pack up his bags.

Cao Cao didn't spare him now. He seized an opportunity to kill Yang Xiu, who was much smarter than him, on charges of confusing the morale of the army.

showing off your cleverness in front of Cao Cao is definitely asking for your own death.

but Cao Cao is very generous.

when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, the backyard suddenly caught fire, and Zhang Miao rebelled to welcome Lu Bu to seize Cao Cao's lair Yanzhou.

Cao Cao's subordinate Bi Chen was very unlucky. His mother, wife and children all fell into the hands of the rebels and became their prisoners.

Cao Cao knew Bi Chen's difficulties and said to him, "Brother, your whole family is in Zhang Miao's hands. I don't blame you at all if you go to the past."

Bi Chen was so moved that he fell to his knees and raised his hand to swear that I would never betray the general because of my loyalty.

Cao Cao was extremely happy after hearing this. He quickly established Bi Qian as an advanced model and called on all the soldiers in the army to learn from Comrade Bi Qian.

However, in a blink of an eye, Bi Chen fled to Zhang Miao's side, and Cao Cao was severely beaten in the face.

Later, Cao Cao defeated Zhang Miao and captured Bi Qian alive. Everyone advocates killing these 25-year-olds.

however, Cao Cao waved his hand and let Bi Chen go. He said: "People who are filial to their mothers must be loyal to the country." Instead of killing Bi Chen, he commended Bi Chen's filial piety and appointed him as a local official.

Cao Cao can be kind to those who betray himself. I'm afraid such a measure is really rare in ancient and modern times.

Cao Cao likes to be ruthless.

Xun Yu is the chief counselor under Cao Cao, and he has made great contributions to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was in the land of four wars, but he was in an invincible position. He finally wiped out the pack and took advantage of the situation to rise. Xun Yu played an irreplaceable role.

Cao Cao also relied heavily on Xun Yu and praised Xun Yu as his Zhang Liang.

Later, Cao Cao wanted to seal the title of "Duke Wei" and add nine tin to get the highest treatment that a minister can get. Everyone knows that Cao Cao's next step is likely to usurp Han's independence.

Xun Yu firmly objected and told Cao Cao: "It is not appropriate for a gentleman to love virtue." He hoped that Cao Cao would continue to be a loyal minister.

Xun Yu's action angered Cao Cao.

Soon, Xun Yu received food from Cao Cao. Open the food container, but there is nothing inside.

Xun Yu is also a wise man. He immediately understood that Cao Cao had already killed him, and his life was not long. In order to save his family, he had to commit suicide by taking poison.

when dealing with old subordinates and old friends, you will turn your face if you say you turn your face, regardless of past friendship. Cao Cao's heart is so black that it makes people tremble.

but Cao Cao also has a side that attaches great importance to feelings and righteousness.

when Cao Cao was young, not many people thought highly of him. Only Qiao Xuan thought Cao Cao was a talented person and said to him, "Now there will be turmoil in the world. Isn't it you who can settle the world?"

Cao Cao was deeply moved and felt that Qiao Xuan was his confidant.

eighteen years after Qiao Xuan's death, Cao Cao passed by Qiao Xuan's grave and made a grand sacrifice. He personally wrote a memorial, which read:

"We swore before that if I passed by your grave after you died and didn't take out a bucket of wine and a chicken as a memorial to you, my stomach would hurt. Although it was a joke at the time, it was impossible to say such a thing if it was not close. Now I miss the past and feel sad when I think about it. "

Cao Cao is talented in literature.

Cao Cao is very studious. Even in the army, he often keeps on writing, and gradually shows his talent in literature and art..

Although his poems are unpretentious and unaccustomed to flowery rhetoric, most of them are magnificent, generous and sad, leaving a deep impression in the history of literature.

In Cao Cao's early poem "Journey to the Hao Li", he wrote that "white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no crow in a thousand miles", describing the social misery caused by the melee between warlords at the end of the Han Dynasty, which was regarded by Zhong Xing, a poetry critic, as "a true record of the end of the Han Dynasty and a true history of poetry".

after Cao Cao pacified Hebei, he established Yecheng as the capital and gathered a large number of literati and celebrities. In Yecheng, the so-called "Ye Xiaren Group" with Cao Cao as the core gradually formed.

Cao Cao not only has a high literary talent, but also vigorously promotes culture and education, making great contributions to China culture.

But at the same time, Cao Cao is not a weak scholar with no hands to tie chickens, and his martial arts skills are also good.

when Cao Cao was ten years old, he went swimming in the vortex river. Suddenly a crocodile pounced on Cao Cao. Cao Cao was not afraid of danger, and fought with the crocodile, and even beat it back.

When he was young, he sneaked into the mansion of Zhang Rang, the great eunuch, with the intention of assassinating Zhang Rang. As a result, Zhang Rang-ding found the siege. Cao Cao waved an iron halberd in his hand, fought and retreated to the wall, then climbed over the wall to escape and calmly withdrew.

Cao Cao went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers and went to Longkang, where there was a mutiny at night. The rebels ignited Cao Cao's army account and wanted to burn him. Cao Cao raised his sword, killed dozens of rebels and rushed out of the camp, successfully suppressing the rebellion.

Wen can write poems with pen, but Wu can slash people with sword. Cao Mengde is so fierce.

Cao Cao is really cold-blooded and cruel. He never blinks when he kills people.

Cao Song, Cao Cao's father, was killed in Xuzhou.

when Cao Cao heard the news, he was furious and sent an army into Xuzhou for revenge. After capturing several cities in Xuzhou, he directed his anger at the innocent people in Xuzhou and carried out a brutal massacre.

according to the historical records, "If you kill hundreds of thousands of men and women, there are no chickens and dogs left, and Surabaya will not flow." Cao Cao's anger burned his heart, he lost his mind and killed hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. I'm afraid this black history will never be washed away.

but Cao Cao is also passionate.

When he was young, he served as a police commander in the north of Luoyang, a post similar to that of a police chief in a district of the capital.

In a place like Luoyang, where powerful people are everywhere, it is necessary to be timid and tread on thin ice. But he Cao Mengde is partial.

as soon as he took office, he declared the ban, and hung more than ten five-color sticks at the entrance of the yamen. Anyone who dared to violate the ban, regardless of whether you were powerful or not, was dragged out and spanked.

At that time, the uncle of Jian Shuo, the official in power, violated the curfew and ran out for a stroll at night. Cao Cao caught him, dragged him to the yamen and beat him up, and he was killed.

Cao Cao acted in accordance with the law and showed no mercy, scaring the powerful and powerful people in the current dynasty to restrain their behavior and not dare to be presumptuous again.

Later, he served as a local official in Jinan, and even more, he cleaned up the bureaucracy with an iron fist and cracked down on the local tyrants who bullied the people. At that time, the local traitors in Jinan were all scared to flee to his county.

by Cao Cao's own admission, when he was young, he just wanted to serve the country and put down the rebellion for the country. In this life, he was only a "general in the West", which is probably enough.

But the official is getting bigger and bigger, and the power is getting more and more, so he has no choice. There is no way out, he can only firmly hold the authority in his hand. Once he loses power, he may even lose his life, let alone talk about noble ideals.

For politicians, lofty ideals and goals may really need to be safeguarded by bloody and cruel means. For Cao Cao, who is in the torrent of the times, he does not have much choice.

Yi Zhongtian once commented: "Cao Cao is a lovely adulterer."

Lu Xun said, "Cao Cao is a very capable man, at least a hero."

A heroic person can see the heroic side of Cao Cao;

A humorous person can see the lovely side of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, he may not be defined and can't be labeled accurately.

he can only be called Cao Cao.
