In 208, Sun Liu's allied forces defeated Cao's army at Chibi, and Cao Cao fled all the way back to the north. During this period, Cao Cheng not only did not cry, but also laughed three times during the escape, which led to zhao yun, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu, three generals surrounding him, it seems that the luck of the man who loves to laugh will not be too bad!
What I didn't expect was that Cao Cao, who had always been optimistic in the face of adversity, wept bitterly at the banquet after his safe return to Nan County.
First of all, in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to enhance Zhuge Liang's wisdom, Luo Guanzhong deliberately arranged for the three members of Guan Zhang and Zhao to surround and kill Cao Cao along the way, but there is no relevant record in the main history. According to the Records of the Duke of Shanyang, in the process of fleeing to Nan County, Cao Cheng did not laugh three times at all, but only once, and the content was probably:
Although Liu Bei and I are the same kind of people, if we ambush the next army here, won't we just grab it?
In fact, Emperor Liu did not send a single soldier or a pawn, and by the time he eased up, Cao Cao had already fled.
Cao Cao cried bitterly at the banquet, crying not because of the heavy losses, nor did he lose the great opportunity to unify the world.
But for one person, Guo Jia.
Not to mention that Guo Fengxiao has not been well evaluated on the Internet in the past two years, and no matter who he and Zhuge Liang are, in terms of potential,
The young Guo Jia was indeed a rare talent in Cao Cao's camp.
Since his debut, Guo Jia has repeatedly offered strange plans, and the flooding of Pi has caused a generation of fierce generals Lü Bu to be killed in Baimenlou; Liu Bei suggested during his return to Cao Cao that Liu Bei be placed under house arrest, and that liu Bei should not be returned to the mountains, nor should he be killed with the heart of a hero in the world; the theory of ten victories and ten defeats in the war with Yuan Shao strengthened Cao Cao's confidence and laid a solid foundation for the future pacification of the north; and finally there was a will to set liaodong and help Cao Cao stabilize the northern frontier, it can be said that although his 37-year life was not long, it was brilliant.
Guo Jia's death not only deprived Cao Cao of a strategist to rely on, but it is also worth noting that Guo Fengxiao died in 207 AD, and the following year, Liu Beisan Gu Maolu asked Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountains to help.
This loss and gain instantly upset the intellectual balance of the Wei and Shu states.
It can be said that the sudden death of Ghost Cai caused the Wei state to lack top strategists who were comparable to Wolong in terms of military strategy for decades, and it was not until the scheming Sima Yi ascended to the Wei court that he recovered as before.
What if Guo Jiaduo lived for a few years? In the Battle of Chibi, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and other top think tanks of Sun Liu fooled Cao ChengXiang, if Cao Cao had Guo Jia on his side at this time, he would presumably be able to sniff out a trace of strangeness from the conspiracies such as anti-plots and serial schemes, and the victory or defeat of this battle may not be known.
No wonder Cao Cao cried out at the banquet: Mourning and filial piety! Shame on you! Pain and filial piety!
Can make Cao Cao
remain
The courtiers of tears, in addition to the ghost Talent Guo Jia, there is also the "Ancient Evil Coming" Dianwei.
Dianwei was a native of ChenLiu Jiwu (present-day Jiwucheng Village, Ningling County, Shangqiu, Henan). Although his family was poor and did not even have a table, he had a loud nickname , "Ancient Evil Lai". The history books record that this man was majestic and burly, and his strength was superior,
A pair of double iron halberds weighed more than eighty pounds and were brave and fierce.
As Cao Cao's personal bodyguard, Dianwei's bravery and loyalty were naturally out of the question.
When Cao Cao's Puyang campaigned against Lü Bu, he broke into the siege several times to rescue the lord.
It is said that Zhao Zilong Changshanpo seven in and seven out of the single riding to save Ah Dou is heroic and invincible, in fact, Dianwei in Puyang against Lü Bu's army to rescue Cao Cao is not inferior to Zhao Yun.
Of course, Cao Cao also had 100% trust in Dianwei, and he had always been suspicious that he could safely arrange General Dian by his side, even going out to do some indescribable things, such as in Wancheng, Dianwei brought Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou Shi to Cao Cao, which also became the pain of Cao Cheng's life.
After this most expensive night in history, Cao Cao not only lost his eldest son and nephew, but also lost a fierce general.
Dianwei's death in battle upset the balance of military generals in the middle of the Wei state of Shu.
If it is said that the five sons and generals are absolutely first-class talents when it comes to ruling the army and leading the troops to fight, but when it comes to charging into battle, the savior is in danger, and it is necessary to count Xu Chu and Dianwei.
If there is still a battle after the Battle of Dianwei Chibi, Cao Chengxiang will not be so embarrassed in the process of fleeing to the north, Cao Cao's sons and nephews have a large number, but the "ancient evil comes" is only this one, no wonder Cao Cao will touch the scene later: I folded the eldest son loves his nephew, there is no deep pain, and the single cry Dianwei also!
Cao Cao cried a lot in his life, such as Xia Pi crying Chen Gong, Guandu crying Yuan Shao, etc., but it is estimated that there were only two times when he revealed his true feelings.
Cao Chengxiang cried not only guo jia and Dianwei, but also the absurd mistakes he had made in the war, as well as the reluctance and regret that this Wen Yiwu could not fight with him.
