Speaking of Cao Cao, everyone's impression of him is that he was a politician, and he established the Wei Dynasty. His impression is that of a military man, the famous Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Xiangfan. The impression of him is that of a literary scholar, that sentence: between heaven and earth, people are precious. That sentence: East of jieshi, to see the sea. That sentence: Song to wine, life is geometric!
A man, no matter how wonderful his career is, is inseparable from the depiction of love. But Cao Cao's favorite, especially many.
(1) Mrs. Yuan Pei Ding: Guilt
Cao Cao's original match, Lady Ding. This Ding clan belonged to Cao Cao's mother's clan, and this Ding clan had a strong temperament.
Ding was Cao Cao's wife, but she was childless. Therefore, Cao Cao raised the son of Lady Liu of the concubine, Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, at the knee of the Ding clan. Ding's good heart and lungs for this cheap son.
However, Cao Ang died in the war, and Ding Shi fell out with Cao Cao because of his heartache for his son. The grumpy Ding clan ran directly back to their mother's house and prepared to unilaterally suspend Cao Cao.
Cao Cao still felt guilty and loved this lady, so he personally went to pick her up, but Ding Shi stubbornly prepared and left, and Cao Cao had no choice but to agree.
Since Ding Shi left Cao Cao, he has lived alone for the rest of his life, which is not a happy ending, but it is not bad.
(2) Mrs. Liu: Died in a short life
Cao Cao loved his eldest son Cao Ang, partly because it was Cao Cao's first child, and partly because Cao Ang was born to Cao Cao's favorite concubine at the time, Liu Shi.
Liu gave birth to two good sons, Cao Ang and Cao Shuo, and Princess Qinghe. Liu Shi, who is so favored, and two sons who are loved by their husbands, but they have a short life. Liu Shi died at the best age, and even his two sons died short-lived with their mother's life.
(3) Lady Bian: from the concubine room to the main room
After Cao Cao's original wife Ding Shi left, Cao Cao put his concubine Bian Shizheng in charge.
The Bian family came from a family of musicians, and was himself outstanding in singing and dancing, and was taken into the backyard by Cao Cao. The Bian clan was lucky, the original Ding clan left, the eldest son Cao Ang died early, and Bian's son Cao Pi became the eldest son, coupled with Cao Cao's favor, Bian directly became Cao Cao's main chamber. The Bian clan bore four sons for Cao Cao in his lifetime, and the Bian clan had a very good reputation and was kind and virtuous. Cao Cao had many children, and many concubines died early, and these children, who were not taught by their mothers, were eventually raised by the Bian family.
It was also because of the Bian clan that in that era when there was no concubine as a wife, Cao Cao returned to forcibly support the Bian clan and disregarded the ancient etiquette for the sake of hongyan.
The Bian clan was the one who knew Cao Cao best, knowing that Cao Cao could not forget the original Ding clan, often feasting on the Ding clan, and also giving up the position of concubine and retiring to the concubine position himself. Even after Ding's death, Bian took the initiative to organize Ding's funeral and chose a cemetery for her.
After Cao Cao became the King of Wei, Cao Pi, the eldest son of the Bian clan, was made the Prince of Wei. Under the congratulatory gifts of everyone, the Bian clan was still stable and unpunished, and Cao Cao looked at the pampered Bian clan and was satisfied with the canonization of the Bian clan as queen.
(4) Lady Huan: Originally promised to Guan Yu
Cao Cao's favorite son in the later period was Cao Chong. Cao Chong is very famous in history and is a rare prodigy. Cao Chong's birth mother was Cao Cao's concubine Lady Huan.
Lady Huan was originally the wife of Lü Bu's generals, and it is said that Lady Huan was as beautiful as a mink cicada, so Lü Bu was happy to see it. Later, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought against Lü Bu, and Guan Yu saw Lady Huan, like Cao Cao's dignitaries, and cao Cao had not seen Lady Huan at this time, so he agreed to Guan Yu's request. However, when Lü Bu was defeated, Cao Cao saw Lady Huan and was reluctant to give people to Guan Yu, but instead took it into the harem himself.
Lady Huan was very favored and gave birth to three children for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao also adopted the son of Lady Huan and her ex-husband as an adopted son, which was also generous in heart.
(5) Cai Wenji: A woman that Cao Cao could not get in his lifetime
In addition, there is another woman who has a deep relationship with Cao Cao, that is, Cai Wenji, which is a woman that Cao Cao can't get.
Cai Wenji was a talented daughter at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was a brother and sister of Cao Cao's division. Such a relationship, before he had time to show his heart, Cao Cao began to fight on the battlefield, and Cai Wenji also began a marriage of three marriages in her life.
The first married husband died early, the second married the Xiongnu Zuoxian King, in the twelve years of the grassland, a poem missing his hometown "Hu Di Eighteen Beats", which has been passed down to this day. Married cao cao for her chosen little husband.
One is the King of Wei who came to the world, and the other is a beautiful person who has been wandering away, and these two people eventually go against each other.
In contrast, in Cao Cao's life, too much time was spent in the pacification of the world, in order to achieve unification. Love with him, a more realistic way of returning to reality, can be away from the blood of the battlefield.
In Cao Cao's life, he had many women, and very few were recorded in history. It is not clear who Cao Cao's favorite is, but it is better to think that he has loved all these women, but at different points in time.
