What is the difference between Cao Cao and Liu Bei?

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the central eunuch came to power, Dong Zhuo made an insurrection, and various places revolted in succession. Anyone who has a little influence will take this opportunity to get together in the name of soliciting customers, and it is true to take advantage of the chaos to solicit customers. At that time, only Cao Cao really wanted to crusade against Dong thief and help the Han family. It turned out that he finally achieved great things and was able to act as the son of heaven. It is precisely because of his good banner of begging for thieves to help the Han Dynasty that many old ministers in the Han Dynasty came to him one after another, including many talents, which played a great role in his final achievement, but some people gradually saw Cao Cao's true intention on his way to the great cause, and this person was Yu Xun.

Yu Xun was originally in Yuan Shao's camp, but because of Yuan Shao's betrayal, he turned to Cao Cao. He is pragmatic and lofty. He took peace in the world as his responsibility all his life and assisted the Han Dynasty. At that time, he was a Confucian scholar in troubled times, and his own strength was very small. He can only realize his ambition by taking refuge in like-minded masters. Among many forces, he took a fancy to Cao Cao. Unfortunately, it turns out that his choice this time is not wise. In the early days, he and Cao Cao did have a honeymoon period, and he also made suggestions for the great cause of Cao Wei. But when Cao Cao executed Dong Cheng, he found himself wrong about this lean man. The other side never wants to be a minister.

At this time, Cao Cao has indeed made it clear that he will replace the Han family to stand on his own feet. He not only controlled state affairs, but even issued orders at will without the consent of the emperor. Yu Xun was very disappointed with this and began to express his dissatisfaction with Cao Cao. Cao Cao also saw Yu Xun's intention and began to alienate him. Why did he want to find Cao Cao at first, but didn't help Liu Bei? This is still related to his origin. He was born in a noble family and held a prominent position, but Liu Bei was just a local Sima, with no power or influence. Among many thieves, he thinks that only Cao Cao has strength. Even if Liu Bei later gained appeal, he disdained the suspicion of the other side. Coupled with Cao Cao's superficial kung fu, he naturally won his trust.

Some people may ask, then he is estranged from Cao Cao, and he can go to Liu Bei again. Bian Xiao thinks that he didn't do it because of his background. He has always prided himself on his nobility. Abandoning Yuan Shaoshang in front of him can be said to be an ambition. If he abandons Cao Cao again and turns to Shu Han, what is the difference between him and a slave with three surnames like Lu Bu? He is such an ambitious man that he despises such behavior. Once he does, it will ruin the reputation of the gate valve for a hundred years. So he can only continue to be loyal to Cao Cao, although he knows very well that they are no longer kindred spirits.
