Cao Cao was afraid of Hua Tuo's craniotomy and was laughed at by later generations for cowardice. Why did he say that Hua Tuo was killed?

Because at that time, Hua Tuo told Cao Cao directly that if he wanted to cure the disease, he had to open his skull for surgery. But at that time, the art was extremely underdeveloped, and Cao Cao's illness could not be cured. In addition, Cao Cao himself is a suspicious person, so he suspects that Hua Tuo is trying to kill him indirectly. At that time, Cao Cao couldn't tell whether he wanted to escape safely or was very loyal to the Han Dynasty because he didn't know who Hua Tuo was working for. If Hua Tuo is loyal to Han, he will kill Cao Cao. So Cao Cao didn't want to risk his life. At that time, Cao Cao had a headache, and when he got sick, Cao Cao felt pain. So this has always been on Cao Cao's mind. At that time, Cao Cao wanted to completely cure this headache, so he chose to invite Hua Tuo to treat himself. At that time, Hua Tuo told Cao Cao that there was a way to do it once and for all, and that was craniotomy. Hearing this, Cao Cao was very angry. He was afraid that Hua Tuo was a spy. He didn't want to concentrate on treating himself, but wanted to commit suicide. You should know that surgery is risky, and the risk of craniotomy is even higher. Even though Hua Tuo's art is brilliant, he is still not sure that the operation will be successful. If craniotomy is performed now, the failure rate is still very high, not to mention the era when the medical level was so backward. So when Hua Tuo said this to Cao Cao at that time, he did not tell Cao Cao whether he was loyal to Cao Cao. Cao Cao himself is a suspicious person. If Hua Tuo only told Cao Cao that a craniotomy was needed, he would be suspicious. At that time, Cao Cao was unwilling to risk his life and naturally killed Hua Tuo. If Hua Tuo had clearly told Cao Cao that he was loyal to him rather than to the Han Dynasty, then he would not have such a tragic ending. Hua tuo's death was mainly because he didn't defend himself.
