How did Chen Gong almost kill Cao Cao? Why did Cao Cao help his foster mother after his death?

Chen Gong is a very important counselor in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Cao Cao trusts him very much. When he sent troops to attack Xuzhou, Cao Cao asked Chen Gong to guard the rear for himself. After Cao Cao sent troops, Chen Gong immediately staged a coup, took control of Dongjun, surrendered to Lu Bu, and almost killed Cao Cao. Later, when Lu Bu was defeated, Cao Cao didn't want to kill Chen Gong, and Chen Gong wanted to die.

Finally, Cao Cao killed Chen Gong with tears in his eyes. Interestingly, Chen Gong betrayed Cao Cao twice, but in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he became a gentleman with a benevolent heart. So what is the reason? In fact, it was later literati and novelists who belittled Cao Cao in order to cater to people, which was also the need of the plot. Cao Cao is the hero of the Three Kingdoms. He is brilliant and resourceful.

Cao Cao's biggest problem is to hold the emperor as a minister and his son as an emperor. Later, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people called Cao Cao a traitor. But at that time, Cao Cao was only an official of the Han Dynasty, nominally a courtier of the Han Dynasty, so this statement was unfounded. After all, the Han Dynasty at that time was already crumbling. Coupled with years of eunuch chaos and Dong Zhuo's ordeal, the Han Dynasty had already collapsed.

Is success really a benevolent person? Actually, it's not. After the rebellion, it was Lu Bu who surrendered. Lu Bu is a world-famous capricious person who defected to such a person. Will his successful conduct be good? So from this perspective, it is true that success doesn't like Cao Cao, and success is also false. After Cao Cao was successfully killed, he still raised his mother and found a good family for his daughter. Cao Cao's success is still quite good.
