Why did Cao Cao have an iron heart to kill Hua Tuo? After 12 years, the truth surfaced, and Hua Tuo really deserved to be killed
Referring to hua Tuo, the first divine doctor of the Three Kingdoms, I believe that it is already a household name, Hua Tuo devoted his life to the study of medical techniques, he was called "surgical holy hand" by posterity, and his invention of Hemp Boiling Scatter was thousands of years earlier than the Western Yan countries, and Hua Tuo's "Qingbao Jing" and "Five Birds Play" and other works were beneficial to the people's livelihood.
Until now, although Hua Tuo has been dead for nearly 2,000 years, the mention of Hua Tuo's name is still thunderous, and I believe that few people do not know Hua Tuo's name. But it was such a famous doctor who was mercilessly tortured to death by Cao Cao, what did Hua Tuo do wrong? Why did Cao Cao have an iron heart to kill Hua Tuo?
In fact, in Cao Cao's life, he killed many people, the more famous ones are Lü Bohao, Yang Xiu, Kong Rong, Lü Bu and so on. Cao Cao's killing of Lü Bohao was indeed a misunderstanding, and the biggest reason for killing Kong Rong was that Kong Rong was working against Cao Cao everywhere and repeatedly touching his bottom line. And Lü Bu, Yang Xiu and others are the same, either a threat or a thorn in the eye.
However, after the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao also killed one person, and he was Hua Tuo. Whether it was For Cao Cao, or Liu Bei, or even the whole world, Hua Tuo was harmless to people and animals, and Hua Tuo was also a divine doctor with quite superb medical skills. For Cao Cao, he was a rare talent.
However, Hua Tuo was eventually poisoned by Cao Cao, and why? Did Cao Cao kill the wrong person? On this issue, 12 years later, that is, in 220 AD, the truth finally surfaced, hua Tuo really should be killed!
Cao Cao's head wind disease pulled out Hua Tuo, but the results were not satisfactory.
Cao Cao spent most of his life on horseback, and his life was a great achievement, but he was a generation of tyrants. However, spending the day on horseback all year round, sometimes risking his life to escape. (For example: the Battle of Tongguan was pursued and killed by Ma Chao, the Battle of Puyang was almost captured alive by Lü Bu, and the Battle of Wancheng was almost captured by Zhang Xiu), running wildly, angry, chasing, and suspicious, became Cao Cao's life.
In Cao Cao's marching career, he also suffered from a disease, in Cao Cao's words, "headache cracking", which is actually very likely to be the more difficult wind saliva disease. During the Three Kingdoms period, it is estimated that many Tai doctors could not cure this disease, but Cao Cao was lucky, and some people under Cao Cao heard that Hua Tuo's medical skills were very clever, and he had also cured the difficult diseases of Guangling Taishou Chen Deng.
"Wei Shu Hua Tuo Biography": Guangling Taishou Chen Deng was ill, his chest was troubled, and his face was red and he could not eat. Chen Deng got a strange disease, it is said that Chen Deng ate fish at that time to get this strange disease, when Chen Deng's face was red, his heart was very upset, but there was nothing he could do, fortunately, Chen Deng's men also knew Hua Tuo, so they invited Hua Tuo to heal him, Hua Tuo gave the right medicine, let Chen Deng spit out a lot of "red-headed worms", and finally Chen Deng retrieved a life.
In addition to healing Chen Deng, Hua Tuo also healed the general Zhou Tai of Jiangdong, and with the cases of Zhou Tai and Chen Deng, Cao Cao also had great hopes for Hua Tuo... So he sent someone to recruit Hua Tuo into Xu Du and asked Hua Tuo to personally treat the disease. Tuo Yue: The king's head ached, and he caused the wind. The root of the disease is in the head, the wind saliva can not come out, and the soup medicine cannot be treated. This was the conclusion that Hua Tuo had reached for Cao Cao's visit, and Cao Cao was overjoyed after hearing it, thinking that he had finally met a brilliant divine doctor. Now, your own great cause can be accomplished.
However, the second half of Hua Tuo's sentence directly made Cao Cao doubt his life. Drink the hemp lung soup first, then use a sharp axe to cut open the brain pocket and take out the wind saliva before removing the root! After Cao Cao listened, his face immediately changed. Although Cao Cao had been marching and fighting for most of his life, he had never heard of anyone curing his illness and knocking his head open, and Cao Cao was also afraid, and Cao Cao believed that Hua Tuo was an outlaw and was sent by the enemy to assassinate him.
Hua Tuo's treatment made Cao Cao afraid, but at the same time, Cao Cao was also worried that his condition would become more serious. So Cao Cao planned to leave Hua Tuo in Xudu for a long time, but Hua Tuo said that the disease was not eradicatible in the short term and needed long-term treatment. Tuo Yue: "This is difficult to help in the near future, and it can be cured by constant things, and it can be prolonged for years." In fact, Hua Tuo knew that Cao Cao was not a good person, so Hua Tuo said goodbye to Cao Cao on the pretext that his wife was ill.
After Hua Tuo returned to his hometown, Cao Cao sent people to recruit him several times, but Hua Tuo refused to come. Later, Cao Cao ordered people to go to Hua Tuo's house, and if he found that his wife was really ill, he would give her a reward, and if it was a fake illness, he would directly arrest Hua Tuo. Just like when he dealt with Sima Yi, it can be seen that although Cao Cao was a generation of tyrants, he was also afraid of death...
Looking at Hua Tuo's death, it is actually self-inflicted.
Before seeing Cao Cao, Hua Tuo had already studied quite powerful medical techniques such as hemp boiling powder, acupuncture, and so on.
However, because of the deception of Cao Cao, coupled with the treatment method he proposed earlier, Cao Cao was suspicious, and finally Cao Cao sent Hua Tuo to prison for the crime of deceiving the king and the crime of not following the requisition. It can be seen that Cao Cao actually gave Hua Tuo a chance to live. It was only because Hua Tuo used his own talents that he did not attach importance to Cao Cao. In the biography of Hua Tuo, there is such a record, resigning from his wife and getting sick, and begging for several periods without reversing. Taizu tired of writing, still not on the Tao. At that time, Cao Cao was already the King of Wei, and those who dared to openly disobey Cao Cao's orders would certainly not give him a good look.
Later, after Hua Tuo was imprisoned, Xun Yu personally interceded for him, and Xun Yu asked: "Tuo Shu is a practical worker, and the county where people live is killed, it is advisable to contain Yu Zhi." Xun Yu said that Hua Tuo is a generation of divine doctors, he is related to the lives of many people in the world, and he should be more forgiving and let him play a greater value. However, Cao Cao directly refused Xun Yu's request. And in front of Xun Yu's face, he launched a rage! Taizu Yue: "Don't worry, the world should not have this rat generation?" "So I did. Cao Cao directly ignored Xun Yu's suggestion and had Hua Tuo tortured.
Later, Hua Tuo also knew that it was difficult for him to escape the disaster, so he planned to give his life masterpiece "The Book of Green Capsules" to the cell boss, but the cell boss did not dare to ask for it. Subsequently, Hua Tuo was tortured and died in prison, and what Hua Tuo studied, such as boiling powder, acupuncture, and various surgical procedures, were lost. His apprentice, no matter how cattle, could not be compared with his Hua Tuo.
Perhaps for the world, Hua Tuo's death is a very big loss, which will make many people feel sorry, but for Cao Cao, Cao Pi and other Cao Room rulers, will they also regret Hua Tuo's death?
In 220 AD, Cao Cao was still not removed due to the disease of head wind. After 12 years of getting rid of Hua Tuo, Cao Cao finally died. After Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi succeeded him to the throne and later ascended the throne directly as emperor. At this time, the truth of Hua Tuo's murder also surfaced.
After 12 years, the truth surfaced, Hua Tuo really deserved to be killed! What's going on here?
After Cao Pi became emperor, he found that his father Cao Cao's methods at that time were indeed clever, which reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble for him to later unify the world and eliminate dissidents. Among them, Hua Tuo, Yang Xiu, Kong Rong, etc. are all people who should be killed.
At that time, Cao Cao also explained that Hua Tuo mainly had two counts. The first is the sin of deceiving the king, and the second is the sin of non-conscription. These two counts are capital offenses. Although Hua Tuo was a healer, at the same time he was also a commoner, and a small commoner dared to disobey Cao Cao, shouldn't this be punished?
Bullying the monarch and not obeying the conscription were completely provocations to the power of the Cao Wei king. This is actually the real reason why Cao Cao had an iron heart to kill Hua Tuo, if not, I think Cao Cao would not have killed Hua Tuo. After all, he was only a doctor, and there was no need to be cruel to a doctor.
After Cao Cao killed Hua Tuo, Yang Xiu, Lü Bu, and Kong Rong, those who dared to confront Cao Cao were basically no longer found. In the whole world, perhaps only Liu Bei dared to confront Cao Cao gang! Even Sun Quan did not dare to confront Cao Cao head-on.
It is a pity that Hua Tuo has become a victim of Cao Cao's governance of the world and the sweeping away of all forces. Since then, hemp boiling, acupuncture, and various surgical procedures have been greatly affected. How many patients are behind it, like Chen Deng and Cao Chong, who need Hua Tuo and cannot be treated.
Hua Tuo's death is an indelible loss to the development of society. In a fundamental sense, Hua Tuo's death is similar to Yang Xiu's, and it is indeed not worth dying...
