Rather I bear the burden of others, rather than people bear me, Cao Cao's words can be said to be well known to the world. As the old saying goes, "If people do not serve themselves, the heavens will be damned", Cao Cao's statement really puts self-interest on the surface.
So why did he say that? After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, what happened to the story?
This sentence was actually said by Cao Cao in the process of escape.
When the warrior Dong Zhuo entered the capital and ruled by force, many people succumbed to his power and tyranny, but there were also many sons of the family, such as Yuan Shao Cao Cao, who were unwilling to be with him, so they fled from Luoyang.
And this saying, which is known to all generations of people in later generations, was inspired by Cao Cao when he fled. This sentence also became the norm for many of his later behaviors.
At that time, he passed by Chenggao's deceased, Lü Bohao's family, and ran all the way, hungry and thirsty. Lü Bohao happened to be away from home, and his five sons saw Cao Cao and very warmly invited Cao Cao to stay and rest, and his family slaughtered chickens and sheep outside, ready to entertain Cao Cao.
But killing chickens and slaughtering sheep inevitably sharpened the knife, and Cao Cao, who was resting in the room, heard the sound of sharpening the knife and was suspicious in his heart.
Think about it again, killing chickens and slaughtering sheep, several people must discuss and discuss, how to bundle up, how to deal with it.
Originally, Cao Cao was a suspicious person. First I heard the sound of sharpening knives, and then I heard a few of them talking like this, and mistakenly thought that the five members of this family wanted to harm themselves, so they took the opportunity to kill Lu Bohao's family.
Just after killing, Cao Cao immediately woke up and turned around and killed himself. Because the chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep in the kitchen were properly disposed of, they only waited for the pot to be served to him.
Under regret, Cao Cao said this sentence - "I would rather bear the burden of others than people bear me" that is, "I would rather bear the people of the world, and Hugh told the people of the world to bear me." It is regret, it is sad, and it is also an excuse for yourself.
Cao Cao has been portrayed as suspicious, because this personality has killed many people by mistake, and this is only one of the many incidents in which he put people to death because of his paranoia. It also implemented his life creed to the fullest, reminding people of Sima Yilai, who was persuaded to retire by Kong Ming's empty city plan.
【Another version in the rendition】
Regarding this escape and extinction experience, the plot in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is more full. It describes that after Cao Cao killed people, his heart was confused and he ran wildly. As a result, on the way, he met Lü Bohao, who had returned from travel, and under thought, he was worried that Lü Bohao would find that his family was killed by himself after returning home, so he did not stop and stabbed Lü Bohao to death on the spot.
Even in the new version of the "Three Kingdoms" drama, after killing Lü Bohao's entire family, he also turned back to the Lü family, cooked chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep and then ate a full meal, and then left in a hurry and continued to embark on the road of escape.
Coming out of the Lü family, Cao Cao ran all the way. When they arrived in Zhongmu County, they were recognized by the chief of Zhongmu County, and with a single order, more than a dozen people controlled Cao Cao and escorted them back to the county.
In fact, Dong Zhuo's order to pursue Cao Cao at this time had already reached Zhongmu County, but under the persuasion of a Gong Cao, Zhongmu County released Cao Cao.
Why does a little Gong Cao know Cao Cao's prestige? In fact, it was due to cao cao's killing of eunuchs in Luoyang at that time, and his friendship with the general He Jin at that time, and he was one of the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan and had real power in charge.
In the "Yanyi", Cao Cao fled because of the assassination of Dong, and he was respected by the people of the world because of the assassination of Dong Yiju. However, whether there is a stab at Dong in real history still needs to be examined. However, Zhongmu County was let go, and it was Chen Gong who persuaded him in the "Yanyi", which is actually not true.
This escape experience has not yet been put on the stage of the drama, and it has been changed to "Catch and Release Cao", which is widely circulated in the folk. Later, after the history books, the interpretation of the record, and the oral transmission of future generations to the remake into various works, naturally spread.
Later, Cao Cao returned to his hometown and scattered his family wealth to recruit soldiers. Forged the Holy Will, published the world, and sent the princes to the Sour Date Alliance to form a coalition of thieves.
"Yanyi" has a certain reference value, and the reading experience is definitely better than that of the canonical history category, but it is still necessary to pay attention to the distinction
