Cao Cao made 3 big mistakes in his life: forcibly occupying an aunt, wrongfully killing a god, and letting go of a subject
As a famous politician and writer at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao not only made achievements in literature, but also achieved great achievements in politics. As the founder of the Cao Wei regime, many people mention that Cao Cao felt that he was resourceful and good at using power, and although he made a disloyal move to blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes, it is undeniable that he was indeed a master of managing the imperial program!
At least in the military and political aspects, Cao Cao's ability is obvious to all, even if a person is excellent, there will be deficiencies and criticisms, Cao Cao will generally coordinate the overall situation, but he still made three great mistakes in his life, and these three mistakes led to Cao Weijiangshan's short life to some extent.
First mistake: laissez-faire
This man was Sima Yi, who was a very deep and ambitious strategist in the city government, and after being used by Cao Cao, he began to plan to step forward. Sima Yi was good at using power and knew how to win people's hearts, and when he served the Cao family, he began to plot to "seek power and usurp the throne", and at first he did not dare to show his ambition because of the strength of Cao Cao and Cao Pi.
By the time the Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui ascended the throne, Sima Yi had become a powerful and powerful power holder, and after Cao Rui's death, Sima Yi directly stole the Cao family's Jiangshan. If Cao Cao had killed Sima Yi in the first place, he might not have lost Cao Wei Jiangshan, and if Cao Cao had seen through Sima Yi's ambitions, he might have been able to continue Cao Wei Jiangshan for several years and not make a wedding dress for others.
Second mistake: forcing an aunt
This aunt is Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou Shi, Zou Shi is young and beautiful, Cao Cao has a big heart, regardless of Zhang Xiu's attitude, directly take Zou Shi as his subordinate and forcibly occupy it. Zhang Xiu originally wanted to submit to Cao Cao, but as a result, knowing this matter, Cao Cao was so unreasonable, it was really unbelievable, at that time, pay attention to ethics and morality, in Zhang Xiu's view, Cao Cao grabbed his own aunt was contrary to ethics, this is an insult to his personality, when grief and indignation, Zhang Xiuhou took advantage of the chaos and rebellion!
This rebellion led to Cao Cao losing his eldest son Cao Ang, the general Dianwei, and his nephew Cao Anmin, and the sudden attack caused Cao Cao's army to lose more than half of the way to escape, and the losses of this rebellion were huge and more than worth the losses. If Cao Cao treated Zhang Xiu politely and did not occupy his aunt, perhaps Zhang Xiu would have served Cao Cao and made a lot of contributions!
The third mistake: wrongfully killing a god
This god was the divine physician Hua Tuo, who saved Guan Yu's life by scraping bones and healing his wounds, and also used superb medical skills to alleviate the head disease that had tormented Cao Cao for many years. When Hua Tuo proposed to open Cao Cao's skull for treatment, Because of Cao Cao's suspiciousness, Hua Tuo was killed in prison. If Hua Tuo had not died, Cao Cao's head disease might have eased or healed, and he might have lived for a few more years.
Some people say: People are not sages, who can be blameless, even if Cao Cao is brave enough to reappear, but after all, as a mortal, the three mistakes he made are inevitable, the evolution of history is elusive, and now looking at Cao Cao's history, he feels that he is wrong, but the decision-making at that time is not necessarily wrong; some people say: Cao Cao's three mistakes are too selfish, do not know how to consider the consequences, and are self-inflicted consequences. Do you think that if Cao Cao had not made these three mistakes, Cao Wei Jiangshan would have been impregnable?
