During the Three Kingdoms period, it was not easy to gain a foothold in the chaotic world. And Cao Cao did it, wandering between various forces, and finally achieving great achievements, Cao Cao's ability to achieve great things is inseparable from his bosom. In addition, people who have seen the Three Kingdoms seem to have such a feeling, that is, they feel that Cao Cao is a person who cannot be understood and cannot see his true face. It seems that among the many Three Kingdoms figures, Cao Cao is a person who loves to sing the opposite, and sometimes it is precisely because he has achieved many great things because of the opposite. In fact, in addition to cao cao's high achievements in the military field, he was also an uncompromising literary scholar, and his poems have been passed down for thousands of years, and it can be seen from the poems given to him that he is a very open-minded person. And in what ways does he really like to reverse?
First he let his opponents make decisions. Many of the literati who served Cao Cao were jealous of Cao Cao, and some even dared not express their true thoughts in order to cater to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao knew that this was not good. In war, strategists often play a key role, and many strategists need to be consulted before fighting. Cao Cao was a man who liked to speak out against him in his discussions, and after some debate, he reused these people, and Zhang Liao was one of them.
At that time, there was a lot of debate about whether to attack Karasuma, whether to fight or not to fight? Cao Cao consulted many people, and Zhang Liao felt that the time was not ripe to fight Karasuma at present, and if Liu Bei and others led a large army to sneak into the rear during the attack, there would be no way, because Xu Du was very important, and Xu Du could not be lost because of a battle, so the price would be too great. To tell the truth, what Zhang Liao said was also reasonable, but in the face of his remarks, Cao Cao insisted on his opinion, he felt that attacking Karasuma at this time was an opportunity, and felt that Liu Bei and others would not come to sneak attack.
So Cao Cao took Zhang Liao and others to Karasuma together, before the duel between the two armies, Cao Cao continued to ask Zhang Liao what to do at this time, now the army is in front of him, Zhang Liao is honest, only to fight to the death, but at this time, Cao Cao suddenly let Zhang Liao command the war, Zhang Liao was shocked, after all, he was opposed before, and now cao Cao still let himself command the army? This is not at all common sense. However, this was Cao Cao's trust in himself, so Zhang Liao on the battlefield was very brave, and under his command, the war was a great victory, in which the leader of the other side was also beheaded by Zhang Liao. If according to common sense, this war was won, it would be good not to blame Zhang Liao, and let him command the army? It is indeed not very reasonable to follow the normal thinking, but this is Cao Cao, who does not play cards according to the routine. But when he thought about it carefully, he understood that he just wanted the people around him not to worry too much when making suggestions.
Secondly, Cao Cao is very good at doing things, but there is a lot of sentimentality. After watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we know that Cao Cao could not help but cry bitterly on many occasions, many people said that this was hypocrisy, and many people said that this was true temperament. It is also possible that it was deliberately written in order to shape Cao Cao's changeable personality. In that year, Cao Cao led his army to attack Wuchao and achieved a great victory, after a big victory, facing the enemy leader Chun Yuqiong, Cao Cao first cut off the nose of this leader, and then cut off the nose of many soldiers.
These soldiers without a nose were put back, which shows that Cao Cao is a far-sighted person, he is very good at using others, and putting the soldiers back is also to use these soldiers to create public opinion, when Yuan Shao's army has so many soldiers without noses, it will definitely shake in his heart, and he will fear Cao Jun from the bottom of his heart. This was also what Cao Cao wanted to see, and he wanted to see the heart of The Yuan Army's army break down, so that it would be easy to attack the Yuan Army. But in the end, Yuan Shao died, and when paying tribute to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao was crying bitterly, and the crowd did not look like they were pretending, it was likely to be a true feeling, perhaps the historical Cao Cao was such a person who did things to the extreme, but also sentimental.
Finally, Cao Cao is very low-key in doing real things, and he is very high-profile when doing superficial work, which is related to his personality, Cao Cao does not want people to know what he is thinking in his heart, and he is resolute not to stay for those who speculate on his own ideas. In history, there is such a person, he is the Yang Xiu we know, this person is very clever, he has been guessing Cao Cao's ideas, it can be said that Cao Cao's mind is very thorough. At first, Yang Xiu thought that Cao Cao admired himself very much, was a person who loved talent, and would not do anything to himself, but later after he had a better understanding of Cao Cao, he felt that he should stay away from Cao Cao, Yang Xiu also knew that he had caused trouble, and later Cao Cao announced in a high-profile manner that he would execute Yang Xiu, and also pointed out yang Xiu's multiple crimes. In Cao Cao's eyes, such a person must die, and staying around is also a disaster, so he has long planned to execute Yang Xiu at the right time. In short, Cao Cao, as a generation of tyrants, is superior, and reading more history books may be able to have a deeper understanding of this person.
