Leaving aside the prejudices of public opinion and novels, Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period was indeed a tyrant. At that time, the Han Dynasty had reached the final dying moment, and it was inevitable that it would be replaced by talented people, so it seemed that among the three forces, the most suitable person to sit in that position was Cao Cao. How good is Cao Cao? From his poetry alone, it can be seen that he is both talented and ambitious. Moreover, his sons were all excellent, and Cao Cao was certainly much higher than them.
Even if the final result of the Three Kingdoms Struggle was the victory of Cao Wei, Cao Cao did not sit in that supreme position, but let his son become the first emperor of Cao Wei. In fact, he also has his own selfish intentions, if he is called emperor, future generations will say that the power of the courtiers plotted against the usurpation, but the son became the emperor is different, is to accept the "Zen concession" of the emperor, peace of mind. We all know that the Cao Wei regime finally fell into the hands of the Sima family, in fact, Cao Cao was wary of Sima Yi because of a dream a long time ago, and the final outcome of the Sima family also made people have to sigh.
During the Three Kingdoms period, in addition to Zhou Yu and Kong Ming, there was also a very strategic person, that is, Sima Yi, who was known as Tsukasa Tiger, which shows that his wisdom is also very rare. However, Sima Yi, who was so strategic, was not reused, and even sent down several times, all of which stemmed from a dream of Cao Cao. At that time, Shu Han had Kong Ming, eastern Wu had Zhou Yu, and it was reasonable to say that Cao Cao had to catch a strategist to stay by his side, what kind of dream made him not value Sima Yi, and even a little jealous?
It is said that once during the march, when Cao Cao dreamed of the "Three Horse Trough" during the midnight break, he did not understand it very well, so he asked someone to interpret the dream, and the dream interpreter told him that this foreshadowed that in the future, the three members of the Sima family would take the world that the Cao family had conquered. After cao cao heard this, he was convinced that from then on he had deliberately alienated Sima Yi and told his son that he could not reuse him in the future. But if this ending is predestined, then Cao Pi must not listen to his father's words, not only is he not alienated, but he also reuses Sima Yi.
In the end, we also know that the Sima family did seize the power of Cao Wei and ascended the throne as emperor. But since his world was plundered, he was doomed to a final ending that would not be perfect. At that time, when the Three Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, there was still a Hu army in the north, and Cao Cao, in order to focus on the battlefield of the Central Plains, let the Hu people move south to settle, and some of them were also crowned kings. But later, the world belonged to the Sima family, and the Hu people in the north did not do it, so they raised troops to the south and attacked the Central Plains.
At that time, the Hu people were not satisfied with living in the north, and they did not expect that the people who had crowned them kings were no longer there, so they wanted to simply enter the Central Plains themselves, so within a few years, the world of the Sima family was destroyed. Sima Yi never expected that what destroyed the country was the scourge left by Cao Cao, which can also be regarded as karma.
