Cao Cao was famous at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty
Politician, military, and writer
It is rare in the history of Chinese literature
A feudal politician who combines truth and falsehood, good and evil, beauty and ugliness
It is also the most controversial and divergent evaluation in the past
Cao Cao stills
Seven years old to see old
The common people have a saying
"Three years old to see big, seven years old to see old, twelve years old to live forever"
It is recorded in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms
"When Cao Cao was a teenager, RenXia was debauched and did not rule the industry"
Pei Songzhi also said something similar
Say how willful and debauched he is
How not to study well, how not to work well
Instead, it is "good flying eagle running dog" and "wandering"
Love to play to the point of no moderation
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a popular custom in society called character appreciation
If a person wants to get ahead, he will enter high society
It is necessary to have a famous person to appreciate him
Write an accreditation form
Only in this way can he be recognized by the upper class
What is Cao Cao's identification?
Xu Shao was a famous connoisseur at that time
He identified Cao Cao as "a capable minister who governs the world and a traitor to a chaotic world."
If Cao Cao catches up with the good times,
Will become an accomplished minister
Then if he catches up with the chaotic world, he is a big traitor
Cao Cao deceived Yuan Shao
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is notoriously treacherous
In 199, he and Yuan Shao fought a decisive battle at Guandu
In order to paralyze Yuan Shao, Cao Cao threw him a smoke bomb
Cao Cao told Yuan Shao that his strength was not good enough and he was willing to concede defeat
He was also willing to cede Emperor Xian of Han to Duke Yuan
Yuan Shao's strength was indeed stronger than Cao Cao's
But he was overwhelmed by his own strength
I actually believed Cao Cao's lies
In fact, Cao Cao was waiting for his reinforcements, buying time
Stills of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao
When Cao Cao rushed into Yuan Shao's camp
Old Yuan only learned that he had caught Cao Cao's treacherous plan
Angry Yuan Shao scolded
"Aman Lao'er, you treacherous villain."
Cao Cao was stealing pleasure in his heart, huh!
After winning the Battle of Guandu
Cao Cao took advantage of the victory to pursue and occupy the city of Ye
He personally went to Yuan Shao's tomb to pay tribute to this old enemy and old friend
He wept bitterly as he paid tribute
Of course, Cao Cao did not really cry for Yuan Shao
He is buying people's hearts
Yuan Shao stills
The situation in Hebei is volatile
Most of the scholars were Yuan Shao, who was born into a famous ethnic group
Cao Cao, who was born as a descendant of eunuchs, did not like cao cao
And Cao Cao's reputation is already out there
Therefore, Cao Cao bought people's hearts in order to buy people's hearts
Only then did he run to Yuan Shao's tomb and shed tears
Cao Cao also has one of the biggest stains
It is the daughter-in-law who likes to return someone else's family
Maybe he thought it was his own booty
But he sometimes used preemptive tactics
At that time, Zhang Xiu had already surrendered to the city
Cao Cao took a fancy to Zhang Xiu's sister-in-law
If you have to spend a night together, you can't stop it
This made Zhang Xiu feel strangely humiliated
Zhang Xiu turned against Cao Cao again at night
Let Cao Cao suffer heavy losses
Both the general Dianwei and his son died in the chaos
Dianwei stills
Cao Cao's last words
Cao Cao was treacherous all his life
But it was a practice he did before he died
But let posterity praise him for thousands of years
Before dying, he instructed his son Cao Pi
Thin burials should be practiced, not with gold and silver objects, and seasonal clothes should be worn
He also gave orders to his concubines
Those who are willing to go home can go home, and others are not allowed to stop them
If you are not willing to go
To support yourself, sew your own clothes and make shoes
He sold it for money as his own needs
This is the origin of "selling shoes with incense"
According to the vision of that era
It's rare to be able to do that
Maybe this is related to the fact that Cao Cao had done something that was despised by the world before
That is Cao Cao's tomb robbery
If it were not for Chen Lin, one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", Chen Lin would have exposed the truth
I'm afraid no one knows
At that time, Yuan Shao sent troops to Cao Cao
Let Chen Lin write a battle essay
It mentions Cao Cao's theft of Liu Wu's tomb
First, when the tomb was robbed, Cao Cao personally commanded it
This is very rare among tomb robbers in history
Cao Cao could have let his hands do it
Second, Cao Cao set up a full-time tomb robbery institution in the army
Set up "General Hakoka Nakaro" and "Captain Touching Gold"
This is the first time that a professional tomb robbery term has appeared
Third, Cao Cao's tomb robbery was very thorough
"Nothing has been revealed"
Huī tū is to engage in destruction, and to destroy it thoroughly
