In terms of age, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are the same generation, and they were both born in 155. Therefore, whether it is Sun Ce or Sun Quan, they can only be regarded as juniors. In fact, with the help of his father's former general Cheng Pu and others, when he gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong, Sun Ce was only a hairy boy in his 20s. However, although he was weak, his ability was very comparable, and when he saw Yuan Shu brave the world to claim the title of emperor, he immediately chose to cut off the other party.
At this time, Cao Cao was very overjoyed, after all, at this time he controlled the Han Xiandi, which was extremely welcome to him. To this end, he immediately made a lot of operations, making Sun Ce a huijian taishou, which was to let the other party justifiably occupy Jiangdong. Although Sun Ce looked more like a mangy man, it was not that he did not understand the principle of repaying the peach and repaying the plum, and the items that paid tribute to Xu Du in the next year doubled several times.
Since the relationship is still quite good at this time, for Sun Ce, of course, he refuses to let go of the opportunity to fight for his own benefits. At the same time as he made great dedication, he also put forward his own requirements: it was too boring to be a knight lieutenant, and he hoped to get the title of general. Emperor Xian was all controlled by Cao Cao, and this request was naturally nothing, so Cao Cao immediately granted the title of rebel general to the other party in the name of the imperial court. Although Sun Ce had already shown a rising trend, Cao Cao still did not look at the other party in the eyes.
However, what he did not expect was that Sun Ce was very capable of tossing and turning in Jiangdong, and even if Chen Yu, the state pastor, was driven away, even Hua Xin, Liu Xun and others were planted in his hands. Seeing that the hairy boy of the other party was actually silent, he had more than doubled the territory, and Cao Cao realized that he really looked away, how could a small Taishou contain the ambitions of Sun Ce who was determined to be in the world?
At this time, Cao Cao's attitude toward Sun Ce immediately changed by 180 degrees, and the title completely changed to ''mad dog''. However, at that time, Cao Cao's great enemy was currently (Yuan Shao of Hebei), and he was not willing to make enemies on all sides. However, just as he was attacking Yuan Shao, Sun Ce actually seized this opportunity and wanted to capture Xudu through the Northern Expedition. Since there are so many benefits to the world, Sun Ce naturally refuses to let go.
However, it is regrettable that Sun Ce did not succeed and actually died at the hands of the assassins, and it was this unexpected emergency that enabled Sun Quan to succeed Jiangdong. Since he was just an 18-year-old boy at that time, Cao Cao did not take it seriously at all, in fact, when he calmed the north and personally led the army to the south, when he looked at the heroic Jiangdong Lord on the other side of the river, he couldn't help but be amazed, and he really looked at the two brothers!
In this famous war in history, Cao Cao became the biggest loser, and with the alliance with Liu Bei, Sun Quan completely sat in Jiangdong in this battle, thus becoming his lifelong enemy, which also confirmed the old saying: from ancient heroes to teenagers!
