Introduction: Cao Cao's suspicions are very heavy, but also like to kill, when he was young, he was wanted after failing to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he hid in Lü Bohao's home for refuge, Lü Bohao's family deliberately killed pigs to entertain him in order to appease him, Cao Cao heard the sound of sharpening knives and thought they were going to kill themselves, so he slaughtered Lü Bohao's entire family. Later, when his headache attacked, the divine doctor Hua Tuo said that he could completely cure it by opening his skull to remove the dirty things in his brain, and Cao Cao thought that Hua Tuo wanted to murder himself, so he sent someone to execute Hua Tuo. Another time, Cao Cao was assassinated, but afterwards he killed all the people who came to save him!
The incident occurred during Cao Cao's reign as King of Wei, when Emperor Xiandi of Han, in order to show Cao Cao's supreme merits, specially ordered that the coronation ceremony should be held more solemnly, and all expenses would be paid by the imperial court. With the commitment and financial support of Emperor Xian of Han, everyone in Cao Cao's territory was very active, and the palaces, costumes, decorations, etc. were quickly made one by one, and many beautiful women were also selected by the people to send to Tongquetai to Cao Cao. Although there were still Eastern Wu Sun Quan and Liu Bei who had not been suppressed, Cao Cao felt that he would soon be able to unify the world, and he also deliberately put down the complicated administrative affairs at hand to supervise the progress of the coronation ceremony.
The ceremony of the king was held in Yecheng, and on the day of the ceremony, the traffic in Yecheng was full of horses, and the guests who came to participate in the ceremony and congratulate were endless. Cao Cao was satisfied with the ceremony, because at the banquet he received the same courtesy as the "Duke of Zhou", and everyone thought that the imperial court would unify the world with his assistance, and he also left Qingshi in his name. After the banquet, the guards escorted Cao Cao to the palace to rest, but on the way back they were intercepted by a group of Assassins.
This group of assassins was very professional and clear in their division of labor, all wearing black night clothes, some of them wrapped around Cao Cao's bodyguards, the other part found the right time to attack Cao Cao's frame, and some of them shot Cao Cao's bodyguards on the roof with bows and arrows. The clash of weapons and the cry for help soon attracted the attention of the defenders of Yecheng, especially when they learned the news that it was the assassination of King Wei, they were frightened and rushed to the rescue with their weapons and armor. As more and more reinforcements arrived, the Assassins were killed one after another, and Cao Cao was confused and gave the order to leave a living mouth, but the captured Assassin was obviously prepared, biting the poison hidden in the teeth and committing suicide, without a living mouth.
Cao Cao, who had experienced this incident, had no intention of drinking, and looking at the specifications and skills of these assassins, Cao Cao probably knew who had sent them. But he did not say anything or get angry, but ordered the whole city to be on guard, and at the same time asked all the soldiers to assemble at Tongquetai the next day. After dawn, Cao Cao arrived at Tongquetai very early, and he ordered his men to erect two red and black flags on the square, and when the soldiers arrived, Cao Cao asked the soldiers who participated in the rescue last night to stand under the black flag and those who did not participate to stand under the red flag. The generals thought that Cao Cao was going to be rewarded, so they all stood under the black flag, and some of them were also very down-to-earth, and they stood under the red flag without participating, and soon both flags were full of people.
Cao Cao first expressed his gratitude to the soldiers standing under the black flag, because with their support they could capture the Assassins and save their lives. The soldiers under the black flag were very excited to hear this, thinking that Cao Cao was ready to reward them, but they did not expect that Cao Cao's later words made them collapse. Cao Cao praised them and immediately ordered them to be executed, and the crossbowmen who were ambushed in the surrounding area were already ready, and after several consecutive rounds of firing, all the soldiers under the black horse became the ghosts under the arrows, and the scene was like hell on earth.
Is this Cao Cao easy to kill? Not really. Cao Cao's purpose in killing these people was mainly twofold, the first was that Cao Cao did not want to let go of any fish that slipped through the net, preferring to kill a thousand by mistake rather than let any one person go. The second is to show the people behind the assassins, warning those who want to kill themselves, and I can send someone to kill you if I am not good. Since then, Cao Cao has never experienced assassination again, and finally enjoyed his old age in Tongquetai.
