As we all know, Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms period was a very powerful figure, and he was excellent in both military and literary terms. We also learned that Cao Cao suffered from a serious head wind disease, which made him feel extremely painful as soon as the disease broke out, and later, Hua Tuo helped him treat the head wind disease, and before the disease was cured, Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo, so why did he kill Hua Tuo? Many people think that it is because Cao Cao is suspicious and thinks that Hua Tuo is going to murder him, but after reading the following content, you will understand that Cao Cao's approach is actually correct.
First of all, let's talk about Hua Tuo. Hua Tuo's medical skills are brilliant, he is known as the divine doctor, when treating Cao Cao, he once said that it is necessary to use an axe to split Cao Cao's head, and take out the wind saliva in the brain to cure the disease, such a healing method can be said to be beyond the scope accepted by people at that time, which is also understandable, can you still live after splitting the head? Is this murder or healing?
Cao Cao was already suspicious, and when he heard Hua Tuo's method, he felt that Hua Tuo wanted to avenge Guan Yu and murder himself, so he killed Hua Tuo, and everyone thought that this was the reason for Hua Tuo's killing. Actually, this is not the case. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms says that Hua Tuo traveled to school when he was young, was a very learned person, he wanted to be an official, although he was a doctor, but his idea of wanting to be an official has not changed. The reason why he treated Cao Cao was that he wanted to enter the official field and become an official. Cao Cao expressed his thoughts: "Hua Tuo could have cured my disease, but he kept dragging on and not completely curing me, because he wanted to improve his status and achieve the purpose of becoming an official." "
Later, Hua Tuo healed Cao Cao for a while, so he found an excuse to slip away, and Cao Cao sent people to invite him many times, but he just wouldn't come. How could Cao Cao tolerate such a practice? Therefore, he ordered his men to explore Hua Tuo's falsehood, and after finding out the reason, Cao Cao sentenced Hua Tuo to death on the grounds of deception and non-compliance.
Hua Tuo was killed at the time of Jian'an 13 years, at that time it was just when Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao, Cao Cao needed to establish prestige, then Cao Cao's killing of Hua Tuo just had the effect of killing a hundred people, and he could also establish his prestige among the people, so Hua Tuo's death was very likely to become a victim of Cao Cao's goal.
In fact, Cao Cao regretted it after killing Hua Tuo. When his beloved son was about to die, Cao Cao said: "I regret killing Hua Tuo and letting my son die like this now." As a generation of tyrants, Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo, not only because of his own suspicions, but also because he was thinking about his future affairs.
