Cao Chun was Cao Ren's younger brother and was related to Cao Cao, and Cao Ren and Cao Chun's grandfather Cao Zhen were the older brothers of Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng. Cao Chun was born in the third year of Jianning (170), 15 years younger than Cao Cao, the same year as Guo Jia. Cao Cao once said that Xun You and others were of the same generation as himself, only Guo Jia was the youngest, so Cao Chun, who was the same age as Guo Jia, was actually equivalent to a small character in the eyes of his brother Cao Cao.
And Xue, on the verge of mourning, mourned, said Xun You, etc.: "All the kings are orphans in their years, but they have the least filial piety." The world's affairs are in the end, and they want to belong to the future, and they die in middle age, and their fate is also husband! ”
Cao Chun
The Book of Heroes records that Cao Chun lived with his brother Cao Ren after his father's death and inherited his father's property.
Pure characters and. He lost his father at the age of fourteen and lived with his brother Ren. Inheriting the father's business, rich in wealth, servants and guests with hundreds, pure discipline supervision, do not lose their reasoning, the township Xian thought it could.
When I saw this account before, I felt very incomprehensible, thinking that the brothers had some festival, but now I think the situation should be like this:
After Cao Teng gained power, one of his doors also ascended to heaven with the chicken dog. Cao Zhen became the Taishou of Yingchuan, and Cao Zhao's son Cao Zhi (Cao Ren and Cao Chun's father) was an official to shizhong and Changshui, and another son, Cao Yin, was a gurudwara. In addition to Cao Ren's family, another of Cao Cao's brothers Cao Hong's uncle Cao Ding became Shang Shu Ling, and promoted Cao Hong to become Pu Chunchang. The Cao family also climbed the foreign relative Song clan at that time, and Cao Cao's sister married Song Qi, the Marquis of Haoqiang, and Song Qi and Emperor Ling's Empress Song should be brother and sister or brother and sister, and Cao Cao's sister was also a subordinate sister of Cao Ren and others.
Uncle Hong's father Wasing Shang Shu Ling, and Ren Hong was The Chief of Pu Chun.
Cao Ren
Empress Song was enthroned in the fourth year of Jianning (171), the second year of Cao Chun's birth, and Cao Cao was raised to the rank of lieutenant of northern Luoyang three years later in the third year of Xiping (174). When Song Guiren was made empress, the second among the ministers on the table was The Shangshu Servant Sheding, who should be Cao Ding, who later became Shangshu Ling. That is to say, when Cao Cao came out, it was the time when the Cao family was as powerful as the sun.
In the autumn and July of the fourth year of Jianning, Sikong came to Yan. Ugly, the noble song clan was made empress.
In the twentieth year, he raised Xiao Lian as a lang, except for the northern lieutenant of Luoyang.
Shang Shu Ling Chen Hu, Servant Shooting Chen Ding, Shang Shu Chen Xu, Chen Cheng, Chen Huan, Chen Mo, Chen Yi Ji First Words: Fu Wei Your Majesty performs Qian Ze Kun, moving and merging yin and yang. The size of the group of courtiers is undetermined by the Changqiu Palace, and the old canon is followed, and the chapters and tables are still smelled, and the time is listened to. On the auspicious day of the LingYue Dynasty, the Song Guiren was made empress.
Cao Cao
In the first year of Guanghe (178), Empress Song's family was implicated in the rebellion of Liu Wu, the king of Bohai, and Empress Song was deposed, and her father Song Feng and several brothers were killed. The Book of Wei records that Cao Cao was dismissed from his official post because he was implicated in the murder of Song Qi, and even distant relatives of Cao Cao's small characters were dismissed, so Cao Ren and Cao Chun's father Cao Chi and Cao Hong's uncle Cao Ding must not have been spared.
After the lack of favor and in the right position, the harem is fortunate to be destroyed. In the beginning, The Zhongchang Attendant Wang Fu (中常侍王甫) was the Concubine of the Bohai Dynasty and the Concubine Song (宋氏), and the concubine was the empress dowager. Fearing resentment, he and The Grand Master Cheng A of Taizhong conspired with Empress Dowager Zuo Dao to congratulate him, and Emperor Xinzhi. In the first year of Guanghe, Sui Ce collected the seal. After causing a violent chamber, to die of sorrow. He reigned for eight years. The Father and brothers were condemned.
Taizu was deposed from his brother-in-law Song Qi the Marquis of Haoqiang and dismissed from office.
Empress Song's entire family died in other harems and was framed by Wang Fu, the Zhongchang attendant, and Cao Cao's family was thus victims of the struggle, and Cao Cao was once again used to firmly oppose the eunuchs from a political standpoint. On the other hand, Cao Chi, who was originally a lieutenant in Changshui, died young at the age of thirty-nine, and the Heroic Record records that Cao Chun was only fourteen years old, that is, the sixth year of Guanghe (183), while the Water Classic Notes record that both Cao Chi and his younger brother Cao Yin died in the sixth year of Xiping (177), the year before the Case of Empress Song, and Cao Chun was only eight years old at this time.
Later, with the ancient learning of Nengming, he reconquered to worship Yilang. First, the great general Dou Wu and Taifu Chen Fan plotted to emasculate the officials, but they were killed. Taizu Shangshu Chen Wu and other upright and righteous and framed, adulterous and evil Yingchao, good people blocked, his words are very pertinent. The Spirit Emperor could not use it.
In the north of the tomb there is a blazing tomb of his yuanzi, and on the east side of the tomb there is a stele, an inscription cloud, "The Monument of Cao Jun, a Lieutenant of the Han Dynasty Changshui School". Li Taizhong Dafu, Sima Shi, Chang shi, Shi Zhong, Qian Changshui, Chinese New Year's Eve Jiu, Xi Ping six years of creation.
Blazing Brother Yin's family, there is a stele in the east of the house, inscribed Yun: "Monument of Cao Jun of the Han Gurudwara", XiPing was established for six years.
So the problem facing Cao Ren and Cao Chun brothers is that their family used to be very broad, but now it has suffered a major blow, and his father and uncle are gone together. Fortunately, the distant brother Cao Cao's ability was good, and he was used again, and his father Cao Song also relied on the merits of his adoptive father Cao Teng as a high official, so the next step was definitely to hug the thighs of these two fathers and sons to revitalize the family.
Cao Teng
It is reasonable to say that this burden should be handed over to the eldest son Cao Ren, who is two years older than Cao Chun, ten years old according to the water, sixteen years old according to the hero's record, and is an imaginary age, almost at the age of the second middle school teenager. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms records that Cao Ren "hunted with a small bow and horse" and "did not perform inspections when he was young", and his second-rate behavior was alive and free, and it was certainly no drama to rely on him to revitalize the family. Although Cao Chun was young, he was "disciplined and supervised, not losing his reasoning", and "good learning, respecting the bachelor", which was unanimously praised by the villagers.
Personal speculation is that it is probably that the burden on the family after his father's death was too heavy, which stimulated the rebellious psychology of the young Cao Ren, so he ran out to live separately, and the responsibility for reviving the family fell on the younger Cao Chun. This reminds me of the death of Lu Kang, the decaying Lu family had to let the thirteen-year-old Lu Xun out of the Gangji Portal, and Cao Chun and Lu Xun should have a lot of common topics. During the period when Cao Ren ran away from home, Cao Cao also resigned from his official post and went home to read books and hunt every day to live a healthy life, and perhaps Cao Ren would also have the courage to tell his family that he was learning from Cao Cao's eldest brother.
Sun Shaoguo, who was accompanied by Zulujiang Taishou Kang in the official. Yuan Shu and Kang had a gap and attacked Kang, Kang Shuxun and his relatives back to Wu. Sun was several years older than Yasuko and became the Gateway to the Gangji.
Therefore, the power of the courtiers was exclusive, and the nobles were arbitrary. Taizu cannot violate the law. Counting the dry, afraid of family disasters, he begged for a stay guard. Pray to Lang, often curse the disease, and return to the countryside; outside the city of the house, learn to read and pass on in the spring and summer, and hunt in autumn and winter to entertain themselves.
It should be said that Cao Chun was still very contentious, in the fourth year of Zhongping (187), the eighteen-year-old Cao Chun became a Yellow Gate Attendant by relying on family promotion, and became an official in the same dynasty as his father Cao Song, who had just bought a lieutenant to be a lieutenant. At the same time, Cao Ren and a group of younger brothers were in the mixed society, and Cao Cao gave birth to Cao Pi while reading books and hunting. I don't know if Cao Ren would feel a pang of shame when he later honored the FaDu, thinking of his younger brother and himself, but I think Cao Song must have had a headache about these indisputable boys at that time, and it was actually the youngest Cao Chun who could be relied on around.
In the eighteenth year, he was a waiter at the Yellow Gate.
In November, Tai Wei Cui Lie was deposed, and Cao Song, the Grand Si Nong, was made a Tai Wei.
After Haojie rose up, Ren Yiyin knotted the youth, got more than a thousand people, and between Huai and Si.
Emperor Wen was also emperor of the Wu Dynasty. In the winter of the fourth year of Zhongping, he was born in Tan.
And the chief is a general, strictly in accordance with the law, often placed on the left and right, the case is engaged.
Cao Chun died in the fifteenth year of Jian'an (210), and at the time of his death, his official position was very low, and he joined the military as a parliamentarian. I have done special research on this matter, and the conclusion is that most of Cao Cao's subordinate clans did not actually have very high positions, and may even have no position, for example, during the Battle of Chibi, Xiahou Yuan was only a lieutenant of the military academy, and Cao Ren and Cao Chun were only Yilang. But this does not represent their true status, for example, Cao Ren was granted after rejecting the appointment of Taishou in order to assist Cao Cao in the war.
Taizu Ping Yellow Turban, Yingtian Zi Du Xu, Ren Shu has meritorious service, worship Guangyang Taishou. Taizu ji is brave and does not make it a county, to be ridden by the governor of the lang.
Judging the status of these people from the official position is obviously not accurate, they can act as generals at any time whenever necessary, and then supervise a group of generals to fight or directly become local governors. For example, after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Ren was immediately appointed as the general of XingzhengNan to guard Jiangling. Xiahou Yuan, a lieutenant of the Dian Military Academy, could successively command the General Zhang Liao of Langkou and the general Xu Huang of Yokono as the leader of the Xing commander and the Western Protector. The most exaggerated thing is that the cavalry lieutenant Cao Xiu was able to command a group of generals at the Battle of Hanzhong, and two years later parachuted into the place to take over Xiahou Huan's position. For specific circumstances, please refer to the following: from the prohibition of the holiday festival to spy on Cao Cao's late general system
For fourteen years, He took Yuan as the leader of the line. Taizu enlisted Sun Quan to return, so that the generals of the Yuan Governor attacked the Lujiang rebel Lei Xu, Xu Broke, and then marched to the west to protect the army, and supervised Xu Huang to attack the Taiyuan thieves, captured more than twenty tuns, beheaded the thief Shuai Shangyao, and slaughtered his city. From the conquest of Han Sui and others, fought in Weinan.
The most regrettable thing about Cao Chun was that he died before Cao Wei's governor took shape, so the official position stayed forever in Yilang, but even so, his military achievements were enough to be impressive. The Book of Wei records that Cao Cao formed the most elite men and horses under his command into tiger and leopard horses, but it was difficult to use the commander of this army, and in the end, Cao Chun stood out and became the tiger and leopard governor. After Cao Chun's death, everyone asked Cao Cao who to choose to replace him, and Cao Cao said that he could not find such an excellent talent as Cao Chun, so he personally commanded the tiger and leopard riding.
Pure supervision of the tiger and leopard riding, all the world is sharp, or from a hundred people will make up for it, Taizu is difficult to be handsome. Purely elected as the overseer, the caress is very popular. And the pawn, there is Si Bai xuandai, Taizu said: "Pure ratio, how can it be restored!" Am I alone in the middle of evil? Therefore, I did not choose. ”
The history books record that Cao Xiu and Cao Zhen both served as generals of the Tiger and Panther Riders, and the two of them were probably brought out by Cao Chun. Cao Chun's tiger and leopard rode in Nanpi to behead Yuan Tan, took Wuhuan Shan Yu at the White Wolf Mountain, and captured Liu Bei's two daughters at Changsaka, which can be called a battle crafting machine. In the second year of Cao Chun's death, Cao Cao led the tiger and leopard to ride in Weishui to break Ma Chao, and if Cao Chun was still there at this time, he would stage a drama of Cao Chun vs Ma Chao.
Make it stop with Emperor Wen and see treat it like a son. Often from the conquest, so that the lead tiger and leopard ride the guard.
Taizu strengthened his dove bravery and made the general tiger and leopard ride. Seek the Spirit Hill Thief, pull it out, and seal the Lingshou Pavilion Marquis.
Taizu was kind enough to attack it, and Tan was defeated. Chun's subordinates beheaded Tan.
and the Three Counties of the Northern Expedition, and The Pure Ministry was ridden by Shan Yu Tatun.
From Zheng jingzhou, liu bei was pursued to Nagasaka, and his second daughter was given a heavy weight, and his scattered pawns were collected.
Gong Nai fought with Ke Ri, first with light troops, the battle was long, but the tiger rode and attacked, the big break, cut Chengyi, Li Kan and so on. Sui, Chao and others went to Liangzhou, Yang Qiuben was stable, and Guanzhongping was balanced.
Tiger and leopard riding
In addition, here is a bit of a digression. Many people think that Jiandun was killed by Zhang Liao, and Emperor Wu's record of this incident is:
In August, he ascended the White Wolf Mountain, where he met with the prisoners, and the crowd was very prosperous. The bus is heavy in the rear, and there are fewer people who are armoured, and both left and right are afraid. Gong ascended to a high height, and looked forward to the disorganization of Chen, but the arsonists attacked him, so that Zhang Liao was the vanguard, the people of the people collapsed, and the king of The King of Fame had fallen, and more than 200,000 people from Hu and Han surrendered.
The record of Zhang Liao's biography is:
From the conquest of Yuan Shangyu in Liucheng, the liao persuaded Taizu to fight, and taizu was very strong, and he thought that he was holding the Liao. Strike, break it, and chop it up.
At first glance, it seems that Zhang Liao beheaded Cao Chun, but Cao Chun's biography also records that Cao Chun's subordinates captured Cao Dun, which made many people think that Zhang Liao was Cao Chun's subordinate, or even a member of the Tiger and Leopard Riders. But if you read it carefully, you will find that although Emperor Wuji and Zhang Liao's biography both wrote Zhang Liao's charge and the killing of Jian Dun together, the subject of several sentences is different, and the Three Kingdoms Chronicle never said that Zhang Liao killed Jian Dun. I have to sigh that Chen Shou is indeed an expert in chewing words, and many times he can't understand the true meaning he wants to express without careful reading.
Tread
The biography of Cao Chun in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is very short, and it is attached to the back of Cao Ren's biography in the form of a biography, only 182 words, counting the 147 characters in Pei's note, it is only three hundred words. This made Cao Chun not leave a very prominent reputation, which was also ignored in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The fame of historical figures relies heavily on official propaganda, and those who die early suffer greatly, for example, Ren Junshi Zhuo belongs to Cao Cao's heart and abdomen, and his status and importance are no less than those of Zhu Cao Zhuxia, but because he died too early and his descendants were not outstanding, they were regarded as small roles.
There are two exceptions to Guo Jia, who have survived because they entered the Cao Wei Tai Temple and were vigorously publicized by the authorities. Sun Guan of the Taishan Qunkou, like Zang Ba, received the power of the Assassin History and the False Festival, Zang Ba's administration of Xuzhou, Sun Guan's administration of Qingzhou, and after his death, he also passed the position of Thorn History to his son Sun Yu. If Sun Guan could live to the Cao Pi period four years after his death, he would most likely become one of the first local governors along with Cao Xiuzang Ba.
Such important generals who died earlier either left brief deeds for posterity to dig up, or simply did not even leave specific deeds or even names, becoming a fog.
