In 197 AD, Cao Cao attacked Zhang Xiu, a powerful force in the area where Wancheng was divided. Compared with Cao Cao's army, the balance of strength between the two sides was very different, and Zhang Xiu naturally could not resist the powerful attack of Cao Cao's army, so he had no choice but to surrender.
However, when discussing heroes with Liu Bei, although Cao Cao claimed to be a hero in the world, he had a well-known problem in the world, that is, he liked widowed beauties, especially those generals who lost their lives in the war or the red and pink beauties left behind by the powerful.
Before Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu, he had heard that Zhang Xiu's aunt Zou Shi was beautiful and moving, and was a rare beauty in the world. Therefore, after Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu, he intended to visit Zhang Xiu, but he did not expect that at Zhang Xiu's place, he personally met Zou Shi, who had long been famous, and this meeting, Cao Cao felt even more unforgettable.
The reason why Cao Cao remembered Zou was because Zou's husband Zhang Ji had lost his life in a war earlier. And this Zhang Xiu, that is, Zhang Ji's nephew, his uncle died in the war, Zhang Xiu naturally took over his troops, and naturally he also had to take care of his wife Zou Shi, that is, Zhang Xiu's aunt, but who knew that this care was actually targeted by Cao Cao.
This Zou clan was born beautiful, shy, beautiful and moving, every move, graceful and colorful, beautiful, every word and deed, the eyebrows are full of spring breeze, its charm, few people in the world. In just one glance, Cao Cao, who had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, was fascinated by the Zou clan, and Cao Cao could not contain his inner joy after seeing it.
After defeating Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao proudly said to Zou, "Do you know? If it weren't for your existence, I would have already wiped out Zhang Xiu, and the reason why I accepted Zhang Xiu's surrender was all because of you! When Zou Shi heard that Cao Cao was so intimidated, his heart was sincerely afraid, but his mouth was grateful to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao saw that the time was ripe, and after a burst of oil and vinegar, he easily took down Zou Shi.
After Zhang Xiu heard this news, he was ashamed and indignant, thinking that he was also a prince of the party, with countless male soldiers under his command, but his aunt was occupied by others under his own eyes, but he could not do anything, how could he swallow this evil breath? The more Zhang Xiu thought about it, the more angry he became, and then looked at his uncle's former indignant relatives, Zhang Xiu finally broke out.
Zhang Xiu, after some planning, secretly dispatched troops, took advantage of Cao Cao's unpreparedness, and led a large army to suddenly kill the Cao army's camp, and the Cao army was caught off guard by surprise.
After this battle, Cao Cao suffered heavy losses, his general Dianwei was stabbed to death by random guns in drunkenness, and his nephew Cao Anmin was also hacked to death by the rebels, and the most painful thing for Cao Cao was that the eldest son Cao Ang was also shot by a random arrow in the chaos of the war because he saved his father. The Cao army was also beaten to the point of abandoning its armor and running wildly, all the grass and trees, and it was difficult to escape to today's Qinyang, Henan, to stabilize the situation.
After this battle, Cao Cao's lesson could not be described as painful, not only losing two of his closest relatives, but also losing his confidant General Dianwei, and he almost died at the hands of Zhang Xiu. However, this did not change his "love of beauty", after each big war, if there are beautiful widowed beauties, Cao Cao still collects them one by one.
First, Cao Cao fought countless battles in his life, so how many widowed beauties did he marry?
During the Three Kingdoms period, as long as the war was won after every conquest, as long as there were widowed wives that Cao Cao favored, he would marry these widowed wives as usual, so how many widowed wives did Cao Cao collect in his lifetime? According to historical records, there are 15 wives who can be examined in historical data, namely: Lady Du, Wang Zhaoyi, Lady Ding, Chen, Lady Liu, Lady Song, Lady Bian, Lady Huan, Lady Qin, Lady Zhou, Lady Yin, Sun Ji, Li Ji, Liu Ji, and Zhao Ji. Except for those recorded in the main history, it is difficult to say anything else.
None of these people were the children of ordinary people, and most of them were widows. Some of these widowed beauties were the widows of people Cao Cao had defeated, and some were the wives of cao Cao's subordinates who had been born and died. Speaking of which, Cao Cao should have taken good care of others and taken good care of them, but he was good, no matter who he was, as long as it was in line with his appetite, as usual, it was not wrong.
But then again, although Cao Cao has this problem that the world criticizes, this does not affect the brilliance that has been emitted in history at all, nor does it affect his great talent in history at all, nor does it affect his position in people's minds at all, because when he was in power, he paid more attention to recuperation and attached importance to the development of agriculture, and at the same time he also vigorously built water conservancy and developed the economy, so that the north has achieved certain development, and it has also enabled the people in the north to live a stable and peaceful life.
Second, Cao Cao favored widowed beauties, but his wisdom had to be admired
Cao Cao, as a very politically minded person during the Three Kingdoms period, can be regarded as a politician, military expert, and literary scholar who was very proficient in literature and martial arts, and was even known as a generation of tyrants. He loves widows exclusively, and certainly has his own purpose, which is a place that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Of course, Cao Cao's preference for widowed wives could not have been just to satisfy his own selfish desires, and his purpose in doing so was more for political reasons. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", these widowed beauties are all very good, delicate and moving, and most of them have a certain political background, which is almost the same as recorded in the history books.
The reasons why Cao Cao favored widowed wives mainly include the following four points:
1, for beauty, we have nothing to say more, because since ancient times, heroes are sad to be beautiful, heroes are sad, not to mention others, and everyone has a heart for beauty. And for those who are absolutely beautiful, there are more people who are sad about beauty.
2. The main reason why Cao Cao fell in love with widowed wives was that he took a fancy to the political background of the other party, such as Lady Du, who was once the wife of one of Lü Bu's generals, and even the daughter-in-law of the original general He Jin. The political background behind these widowed wives can become the political resources that Cao Cao easily obtained, and can vigorously support Cao Cao, but it will not be like the previous situation of foreign relatives interfering in politics.
3, after Cao Cao married these widowed wives, because these people are all beautiful people in a thousand miles, so he naturally loves them incomparably, and when he thinks of the children brought by these widowed women, he can also serve him Cao when they grow up, and he also loves these children, and the family forces behind these widowed wives will re-support Cao Cao with their daughters marrying Cao Cao, because the widowed wives who want to remarry others in ancient times will definitely be discriminated against and white-eyed by others, and Cao Cao married them. Not only to let them get a good reputation, but also to live a stable and superior life.
Not only can he let his beauties be embraced, but also be able to make the children of the beauties serve Cao Shi in the future, why not do Cao Cao? Moreover, Cao Cao took these people in the chaos of the war, made them live a stable life, and gave preferential treatment to their children, and they were naturally grateful to Dade and willing to submit to Cao Cao.
Therefore, while Cao Cao harvested the hearts of the beauties, he also gained the support of the family forces behind the beauties. In this way, Cao Cao can not only hold the beauty, but also let the children of the beautiful people support themselves and be loyal to themselves in the future. Politically, the family forces behind the Beauties will in turn support Cao Cao, and thinking about Cao Cao's intentions, it can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
4, of course, in addition to the above role of killing two birds with one stone, there is also the last reason is also very important. During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the warlords were divided, wars were frequent, and the perennial conquest caused many young and middle-aged people to die in the war, leaving a very large number of widowed wives, while in the case of a very low birth rate and a high mortality rate, the agricultural society that needed young and strong labor was extremely short of labor, and the feudal society with frequent wars was extremely short of soldiers.
Cao Cao, as a wise politician, he was well aware of this realistic social situation, so he repeatedly felt affection for widowed women, in fact, it was equivalent to giving examples to soldiers and ordinary people, playing an exemplary leading role, hoping that the whole society could also accept and tolerate the remarriage of widowed women, and more hoped that unmarried or widowed people could give up ignorance and take the initiative to marry these widowed women, so that social human resources could be rationally allocated, so that society could develop normally. It will also enable future societies to produce more labor force and young and healthy soldiers.
Brief summary:
Therefore, in the case that the ancients favored young and beautiful girls, Cao Cao "bowed down to the widow concubine and was pitied by the strong woman." "On the contrary, the wives of others and the widows who have no family are taken into the pocket and incorporated into the wives' rooms.
Therefore, Cao Cao's preference for widowed women is not that Cao Cao's taste is heavy, nor is it his own personal special hobby, but it is really from his own aesthetic point of view and his own political stance, and the facts have also proved that Cao Cao's preference for widowed women is really far-sighted, strategic, and discerning, which laid a solid foundation for his later political future, and laid a political cornerstone for the later Cao Weijiangshan.
As a far-sighted politician, military and literary scholar, Cao Cao developed in the direction of "profit" in everything he did. Therefore, although the fact that Cao Cao favored widowed wives was criticized, he was still unmoved. Therefore, in the Battle of Chibi, when he led 200,000 troops south to attack Liu Bei and Sun Quan, some people pinched a handful of sweat for Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and they thought that Cao Cao was going to go against Big Qiao and Little Qiao, so posterity left "Dongfeng does not fight with Zhou Lang, Tongque Chun deep lock ErQiao." In fact, Cao Cao could not have buried his brave army for the two beautiful women.
