First, how the adulterous male is "refined"
When Cao Cao is mentioned, people say that he is a traitor. Perhaps influenced by the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao seems to be a treacherous face as soon as he appears! This is actually a wrongful death. Cao Cao is not a female fetus or a male billet, but also needs environment, experience and heart, and of course, luck, after the completion of the four-in-one cultivation, it can be freshly baked.
Who is born to commit adultery? But even if it attracts the water of the Tianhe River, it cannot wash Cao Cao clean, that is, Cao Cao is easy to kill, but it can also be understood as brutality, and the hands are still very cruel. This one shortcoming alone greatly limited Cao Wei's development and almost let Cao Cao out of the game early.
This is what happened in 193 AD when Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou! You Cao Cao avenged your father, and with private work wanted to kill Tao Qian and take Xuzhou, then target Tao Qian. But Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou and maimed the people. Cao Cao was "cool", but he did not expect that because he slaughtered the city of Xuzhou, the young Zhuge Liang fled to Jingzhou with his uncle.
As a result, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei actually turned over the salted fish, and the three parts of the world accounted for one. After Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang played with the fate of "returning to the old capital" and five expeditions to the Central Plains (six out of Qishan). As a result, Sima Yi accumulated great prestige and popularity in the sparring process of being beaten - don't care how ugly it is, Sima Yi resisted! Therefore, Sima Yi eventually became Cao Wei's gravedigger.
Why did Zhuge Liang assist Liu Bei, who had nothing to do, and why did he make enemies of Cao Wei all his life? This experience in his youth made Zhuge Liang decide that Cao Cao was not a good thing, and Cao Wei had to fight!
At the same time, it was precisely because Cao Cao was easy to kill, so that he killed the famous soldier Bian Rang after taking Yanzhou, which led to great panic and anger among the famous soldiers and soldiers in Yanzhou. Therefore, Chen Gong's talent, taking advantage of Cao Cao's slaughter of Xuzhou, led Lü Bu into Yanzhou, and was shocked that Cao Cao quickly withdrew his army to fight Lü Bu, not only failed miserably, but also almost killed by Lü Bu.
Therefore, 193 AD can be called Cao Cao's "first year of adultery", and since then, Cao Cao has no longer dared to kill willfully. For example, the reason why Liu Bei was able to survive in the palm of Cao Cao's hand and escape to heaven after fooling Cao Cao, he really had to thank the famous soldier Bian Rang of Yanzhou and the innocent people of Xuzhou!
If Cao Cao hadn't learned the bitter lesson of 193 AD, or the wayward strength of that force, eight hundred Liu Bei wouldn't have been able to withstand Cao Cao's machete!
Therefore, it is said that the emergence of the adulterous male is the product of the environment, experience (events), mental scheming (introspection, summing up lessons learned), and luck. It is not that Cao Cao is born as soon as he is born, but he is a adulterous male billet.
Second, the prime minister measured to the face of the adulterous male
After understanding how the adulterous male cultivated, then Kong Rong's death would be easy to understand, which was caused by the general environment.
The so-called blessings and misfortunes depend on each other. In 193 AD, Cao Cao was so miserable that he wanted to lie down completely, and he had to obey Yuan Shao's arrangement and run to become Yuan Shao's younger brother. At the critical moment, Cheng Yu scolded and woke up Cao Cao, causing him to grit his teeth and persevere. Finally Cao Cao survived. Three years later, Cao Cao, who did not lie flat, ushered in the biggest turning point in his life, and welcomed Emperor Xian of Han to XuDu!
Emperor Xian of Han was a golden signboard that immediately attracted many loyal Han people, and it was during this period that Kong Rong came to the house.
Therefore, it can be concluded that Kong Rong recognized the Han Xiandi, not Cao Cao! That is to say, in Kong Rong's heart, you and Cao Aqi are both the younger brothers of the emperor's eldest brother, but the division of labor is different. Cao Cao was also well aware of this, and he also had great respect for Kong Rong.
But that creates trouble. Emperor Xian of Han was also growing his own power, and naturally there would be friction with Cao Cao's forces. During this period, the reason why Cao Cao was patient was because Yuan Shao could replace himself at any time! Therefore, even if Kong Rong and other han Xiandi's forces choked him and despised him, Cao Cao had to show "the measure of the prime minister", and could cooperate and cooperate, as long as he did not want me to die!
During this period, Cao Cao only killed Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and other ministers who wanted to kill him! It is also equivalent to issuing a warning to Emperor Xian of Han. This is the adulterous male, not only the "prime minister measure", but also the thunder means!
In 200 AD, Cao Cao finally defeated Yuan Shao and won the Battle of Guandu, establishing the status of the eldest brother of the jianghu in one fell swoop. And then once again showed the "measure of the prime minister", and burned the letters that had secretly communicated with Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao was very shrewd, and he knew that once he opened the "pursuit mode", it would definitely cause a shock in the government and the opposition. Then you will be caught up in it, full of contradictions, and you will even sit in the crater. Yuan Shao's forces have not been completely eradicated, and there is a danger of making a comeback at any time. Therefore, it is not that Cao Cao really has the measure of the prime minister, but that he can clearly grasp the priorities.
In this way, until Cao Cao finally eradicated Yuan Shao's forces and stationed himself in Yuan Shao's base camp, Yicheng, Cao Cao's "zai chancellor measure" began to be replaced by "the face of the adulterous male", and the landmark event was the killing of Kong Rong.
Third, under the nest, there are complete eggs?
Cao Cao's killing of famous ministers (people) began with Kong Rong!
He killed Kong Rong in 208 AD, Xun Yu in 212 AD, Cui Yan in 216 AD, and Yang Xiu in 219 AD.
All four of them were influential courtiers. See the law? Kill one every three or four years! Always maintaining a state of high pressure, it can be called the death of those who follow us and those who oppose us.
Before Cao Cao killed Dong Cheng, it was because Dong Cheng wanted Cao Cao's life. But this is not the case at all with these four. What does this mean? In a word: Cao Cao changed from a great Han Cheng Xiang to a "traitorous male".
Figure out Cao Cao's transformation trajectory, and then look at Kong Rong's death, it is obvious that Kong Rong did not die at all, he "mouthed more", would not be a man, etc. Therefore, when Cao Cao completely destroyed Yuan Shao's forces, Kong Rong had already realized the danger, retired from his idle post, drank alcohol every day, and said nothing: "Sit on the guest Heng man, the wine in the honor is not empty, I have no worries." ”
They are all smart people, before they disgusted you Cao Cao, because you can replace. For example, if you drink today to enjoy yourself, it is because you Cao Cao can't afford to provoke. But Kong Rong obviously did not realize that now the balance between Cao Cao's forces and the power of Emperor Xian of Han had been broken, which was the trend of the times, not afraid, and could be saved if he retreated.
Therefore, Cao Cao began to attack Kong Rong, that is, against the forces of emperor Xian of Han, and began to attack. Cao Cao instructed people to frame Kong Rong, kill him for "plotting to misbehave" and "slandering the imperial court", and wanted to kill his entire family.
As Kong Rong was imprisoned, someone quickly informed Kong Rong's children that his brother was nine years old and his sister was only seven years old. At that time, the two were playing chess, and after hearing about the situation, they still continued to play chess with a relaxed attitude. The man asked, "What chess do you two still play, aren't you afraid?" ”
As a result, people replied: "Under the nest, there are complete eggs." ”
This was soon learned by Cao Cao. So Cao Cao ordered without saying a word: Kill them all! In this way, Kong Rong's two children were also killed. And this sentence has since become a famous saying.
In fact, this famous saying spoken by Kong Rong's children is the real reason why Kong Rong, Xun Yu, Cui Yan, Yang Xiu and others were killed by Cao Cao.
The Han Dynasty was already about to collapse, and Emperor Xiandi of Han and Cao Cao had also changed from using and uniting with each other to Cao Cao's forces to dominate the world. The so-called "Han nest has been broken", how can Cao Cao leave these "Han eggs" and allow them to hatch...
