To this day, the story of the Three Kingdoms has been circulating in the folk. In an era when heroes worked together, many talented strategists were born. Of the three regimes of Cao Wei, Shu Han, Eastern Wu, and Cao Cao, Cao Cao was the most powerful and most likely to become emperor. But in the end he still failed to unify the three kingdoms and become the ultimate emperor.
Everyone has weaknesses, but as emperors, certain weaknesses can turn into fatal flaws. The reason why Cao Cao failed to unify the three countries had something to do with the strength of the other two countries, but the ultimate reason lay with him. People can't solve this problem with the answer. It wasn't until many years later that Li Shimin said it.
Li Shimin's original words were: Cao Cao is resourceful, but his talent is insufficient! He believed that although Cao Cao was very talented, he was not suitable to be an emperor, only a minister. Cao Cao was unpopular because his actions were so cruel that the people of slaughtered city hated him and fled to Liu Bei's command. This is one of the reasons why he is not suitable to become emperor. The other is that he is selfish, suspicious, and often indiscriminately kills innocent people and some prominent officials, which is also an important reason for his unpopularity.
Although Cao Cao was once the emperor's crown prince, he was regarded as a traitor, but he always respected Emperor Xian of Han. Even though he had certain political and military advantages, he still did not become emperor independently, calling himself the King of Wei. In this regard, he remained loyal to the Han Dynasty, which is why he did not become the king of God.
Of course, the reasons why the Central Plains could not be unified are also obvious. At that time, there were Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu, Zhuge Liang of Shu Han, Guan Yu and other famous officials. Although Cao Cao also had many talents, he was also a very good strategist and politician, but when the two countries joined forces against him, it was difficult to win victory in these three countries.
Therefore, the reason why Cao Cao was unable to unify the three kingdoms in the three countries was because of his personality defects and the situation at that time. What do you think about this?
