It is said that in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the wind and clouds were surging and the crowds rose up at the same time. The reason why Cao Cao can leave a name in history is because he stood at the top of that era, of course, this is also inseparable from his discernment and knowledge of people and the good use of people.
To say that Cao Cao's evaluation of all kinds of heroes at that time is very accurate, below, Xiaobian will give you a brief introduction to Cao Cao's 8 people with the highest evaluation of the heroes of his contemporaries.
Eighth: Dianwei, nicknamed "Ancient Evil Coming", when the two met, Cao Cao was very appreciative of his bravery, and even referred to it as the ancient fierce general "Evil Coming".
After Dianwei followed Cao Cao, he was always responsible for guarding Cao Cao and acting as a personal guard. Who is Cao Cao? Being able to deliver his back to Dianwei shows that he is absolutely assured of Dianwei. In the Battle of Wancheng, Zhang Xiujun raided Cao Ying, Dianwei sacrificed his life to die in order to let Cao Cao break through, Cao Cao could not help but cry bitterly when paying tribute to Dianwei, sighing: I have damaged my son and nephew, and there is no deep pain, only regret the loss of Dianwei!
Seventh place: Xun Yu, highly rated as "My Son's Room". "Sub-room" that is one of the three masters of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang, who has no exhaustive strategy, can see how high the evaluation is. Xun Yu first threw himself into Cao Ying from Yuan Shao's camp, and initially did not show his sharp edge temporarily, and Cao Cao could refer to him as Zhang Liang, indicating that Cao Cao was indeed a wise eye and a true talent!
Sixth place: Sun Ce, known as Cao Cao's "Yi'er", I am afraid it is difficult to compete! When Cao and Liu Qingmei were cooking wine on heroes, Cao Cao still looked down on Sun Ce and said: Sun Ce is not a hero in the name of his father! However, not long after, Sun Ce broke Huang Zu, led an army through Jiangdong, and directly reported it to the imperial court, at which time Cao Cao looked at Sun Ce with disdain and had such a high evaluation.
Later, Cao Cao was afraid of the bravery of sun ce, the "little overlord", and did not want to fight with him, so he mated Cao Ren's daughter Xu to Sun Ce's younger brother to deliberately marry him. Fifth place: Ma Chao, Cao Cao evaluation: Horses do not die, I have no burial ear! Cao Cao's evaluation of Ma Chao can be said to be even greater than Sun Ce's.
In the early years of the Western Liang Campaign, Cao Cao was beaten by Ma Chao but "cut his beard and abandon his robe" very badly, which saved his life. Perhaps Cao Cao was beaten out of the psychological shadow by Ma Chao, and there was Ma Chao in Xiliang, and the tiger was looking at him, I am afraid that Cao Cao is really a day without peace.
Later, Cao Cao designed to kill Ma Teng, and then used a trick to force Ma Chao to rebel, which completely drove Ma Chao out of Xiliang and solved the big problem. Fourth place: Sun Quan, Cao Cao evaluation: give birth to a son like Sun Zhongmou! At first glance, this sentence may make people feel that Cao Cao's words are a bit preemptive to Sun Quan.
However, on closer inspection, Cao Cao and Sun Jian are of the same generation, and this sentence is also a high evaluation of Sun Quan, believing that Sun Quan has the ability to guard the Foundation of Eastern Wu laid by his father and brother, and he is not as useless as Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's heirs. When Cao Cao said this, he was already nearly half a hundred, and he was also choosing his own heir, and when he said this, he was also warning his sons not to lose the foundation he had laid.
Third place: Guan Yu, Cao Cao High Evaluation: Wu Su loves Guan Gong talent martial arts and bravery to win the three armies, I want to get it for my own use! The warrior that Cao Cao admired very much was Guan Yu, which should not be refuted by anyone. In Cao Cao's self-description, his ideal was to become a loyal vassal of the Han Dynasty, sweep away the rebellion of the Han Dynasty, and after his death, he could engrave the good name of fu Han on the tombstone.
However, the great trend of the Great Han had gone, Cao Cao had to use his own way to quell the chaos for the world, and even, he also risked the world's great disobedience to "blackmail the son of heaven to order the princes", all of which was for his original ideals, but the facts were far away, and Guan Yu realized his dream perfectly.
This is also why Cao Cao chose to let Guan Yu go after Liu Bei knowing that guan Yu would leave him. Because, Cao Cao fulfilled Guan Yu, but also fulfilled himself in his heart.
Second place: Liu Bei, Cao Cao evaluation: Today's heroes, only the king and the ear! When Cao Cao evaluates others, he usually says who can get who is who, and why worry about the world. Only in the dialogue with Liu Bei, he directly and unabashedly said that when the heroes of today are only you and me.
Looking at Liu Bei at that time, he almost never won a battle, wandering around every day like a dog that lost his family, and with Cao Cao's insight, he could see that Liu Bei was not a thing in the pool and would not live under people for a long time. Sure enough, after many years, Liu Bei developed into cao Wei's biggest enemy in unifying the world.
The first: Cao Cao, Cao Cao once commented on himself: Let the country have no orphans, I don't know how many people should be called emperors, and several people are calling kings! This sentence can be described as the most domineering sentence in the Three Kingdoms period, however, Cao Cao did have such qualifications to say.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty declined, and all the princes of all walks of life rose and fell, and they all became the emperors of the earth. The great Han Dynasty was devastated, and local tycoons and inferior gentry ran rampant everywhere. In the past few years since Cao Cao started his army, he marched south and fought in the north, although he did not complete the great unification of the country, but he also ended the warlord scuffle, so that the overall situation in China tended to be stable.
This is also precisely because of cao Cao's existence, but also for the Han room to retain the last bit of dignity, otherwise, to make Yuan Shu and other generations of emperor, I don't know how many innocent people will be destroyed by life.
