When it comes to Qixiong, everyone must think of Cao Cao. In the midst of the war at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao manipulated the sweep to unify the north, and the wind of the king has still amazed the world.
Many history buffs have reverence for this long-term hero, constantly analyzing and learning his talents in military, politics, and people, and in the hearts of many people, Cao Cao has become a "god" without shortcomings.
But no one is perfect, and Cao Cao's magnificent life was not smooth. The world knows that people have seven emotions and six desires, and when their desires are out of control, they will make mistakes.
The famous Cao Cao is no different from us ordinary people, and he has also encountered 5 major mistakes that cast a haze over his glorious life: sleeping 1 person by mistake, killing 1 person by mistake, leaving 1 person by mistake, believing 1 person by mistake, and misplacing 1 person.
Wrong sleep and wrong killing, loss of merit and death
Lust and killing desire are the innate desires of human beings. Having desires is not the original sin, but not controlling desires can lead to great mistakes. Even Cao Cao, in the face of these two enemies, temporarily relaxed his vigilance, which caused two regrets for the rest of his life.
Sleeping with a woman by mistake, Cao Cao lost two talents. Judging from the consequences, what kind of woman had to be this to spend the Spring Festival with Cao Cao at the cost of two sages?
These two sages are not ordinary people, one is Cao Cao's appointed successor Cao Ang, who has shown extraordinary intelligence since childhood, and gradually grew into a capable general under Cao Cao's training.
The other is the well-known Dian Wei of the Three Kingdoms combat power ranking, "one Lu, two Zhao, three Dian Wei, four passes, five horses, six Zhang Fei", such a high and strong martial art, the role of Cao Cao's future conquests is naturally decisive.
The woman who caused Cao Cao to lose his second general was named Zou Shi according to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and was Zhang Ji's wife; And who is Zhang Ji, the uncle of Zhang Xiu, who Cao Cao just defeated.
In other words, someone else, who knows the relatives of the generals and respected elders, should not be touched even if they are beautiful, so as not to be retaliated against, and there is no shortage of beautiful women in this world.
However, Cao Cao was biased, he was reluctant to let go in the face of the beauty of the city, and secondly, he deliberately humiliated his defeated generals, and the overlord forced the bow without saying a word.
The consequence of this act of allowing lust and arrogance to blind his eyes and drive away reason was that he was soon sought out by Zhang Xiu to take revenge.
Zhang Xiu endured the humiliation and planned the assassination plan, and eventually forced Cao Cao to flee in embarrassment, and damaged Cao Ang and Dian Wei in this swift raid. Not only that, but the core part of the leadership of Cao Cao's forces at that time was also greatly damaged.
The momentary lust brought such heavy consequences to Cao Cao, which shows how crucial it is to maintain reason in the face of lust.
Mistakenly killing a divine doctor and losing the cure for himself. This is Hua Tuo, who is known to everyone as a divine doctor, and his medical skills have been passed down through the ages, and even become the standard used by posterity to describe good doctors "Hua Tuo is alive".
Hua Tuo was not only skilled in medicine, but also had a good heart, at a time when there were frequent wars, many wounds and illnesses among the people, and "when he went out and saw nothing, white bones covered the plain", he could not abandon these suffering people.
One more day in the world, this divine doctor can save many more people, and he can overcome more medical problems and benefit more people. However, why did Cao Cao's butcher knife face such a life of great value?
The answer is that Cao Cao failed to restrain the desire to kill and control in his own nature. According to the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao had a headache, which was caused by many years of planning and conquest, and the attack was very fatal.
One day, a close friend suggested to Cao Cao that he ask the divine doctor Hua Tuo to heal him, and he would definitely be able to cure the disease. Hua Tuo did not disappoint, and with a little silver needle, he used acupuncture to relieve Cao Cao's headache.
This naturally made Cao Cao very happy, thinking that he saw the dawn of healing. At this time, Hua Tuo's words were like cold water poured on the head: this method cannot cure stubborn diseases, and if you want to completely cure, you can only perform craniotomy.
This remark was offensive, and the word "open skull" was no different from murder in Cao Cao's ears. This aroused Cao Cao's anger and suspicion, and with the tiger and wolf around, he began to suspect that Hua Tuo had been sent by some political opponent to assassinate him under the guise of curing his illness.
Accepting a "craniotomy" operation is equivalent to giving one's life to others, and such a thing that is out of control is absolutely not allowed by Cao Cao. Therefore, Cao Cao refused the operation, and in the midst of suspicion and suspicion, he had murderous intentions towards Hua Tuo, and finally sent the divine doctor to Huangquan Road.
Without Hua Tuo administering needles to him, Cao Cao's illness became more and more uncontrollable, torturing him until the end of his life.
Mistakes in leaving wrong letters will lead to future troubles
Sima Yi was known for his trickery, and everyone who had heard the story of the Three Kingdoms knew how outstanding Sima Yi's military and political talent was.
For a ruler, the help of having such a person's talent was incomparable, and Cao Cao was very aware of this, so he also put a lot of effort into inviting Sima Yi to serve in his palace.
After a request was rejected, Cao Cao did not give up, and a few years later became prime minister, and Cao Cao used threats to force Sima Yi to take office. Sima Yi was unable to protect himself at this time and could only obey Cao Cao, but this radical method also laid the foundation for Sima Yi's future rebellion.
Sima Yi did offer many good ideas to Cao Cao and helped him win many battles. However, Cao Cao also gradually discovered that Sima Yi was not willing to be a thing in the pool, and began to worry that Sima Yi would have bad intentions towards the Cao regime in the future.
However, Cao Pi took a completely opposite opinion on this, and instead trusted Sima Yi and repeatedly defended Sima Yi in front of Cao Cao, but Cao Cao took this into account and never made up his mind to deal with Sima Yi.
With this thought, Cao Cao left Sima Yi behind, but after Cao Cao's death, Sima Yi gradually expanded his power in the Cao Wei regime, eventually encroaching on Cao Wei.
Of course, there was a reason why Cao Pi insisted on maintaining it, but also to some extent due to Cao Cao's overconfidence in his own strength. Over-inflated self-confidence led Cao Cao to put his suspicions behind him, leaving a legacy for the Cao Wei regime.
Throughout his life, Cao Cao was extremely suspicious and cautious, and mistrusting Huang Gai was one of the rare mistakes that caused him to suffer the humiliation of the Battle of Chibi.
This is the famous "Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai" in history, Zhou Yu and Huang Gai put on a big drama in front of Cao Cao's eyes and ears, and Huang Gai successfully tricked into Cao Ying.
In fact, Cao Cao was not so easy to deceive, and a "bitter meat plan" was not enough to make Cao Cao let his guard down, until Cao Cao's own detailed work returned several times to report the reality of Huang Gai's torture, which made the suspicious Cao Cao believe the matter.
The first step in the false letter was to plant the seeds of the defeat of the Battle of Chibi, followed by a fire in the sky, and the Cao Cao warship that had just let down its guard had long been connected by iron cables, and the fully equipped navy army was defeated by this fire, and Cao Cao was forced to Huarong Road.
In the face of the fraudulent Huang Gai, Cao Cao was actually cautious enough, but in the end, he was unable to see through this conspiracy, which naturally included Cao Cao's own factors.
If people have desires, they are easy to be caught by others to grasp the flaws, and they can reach the invincible state without desire and desire. If Cao Cao did not want Huang Gai to surrender and was not carried away by the desire to seek merit at this moment, then no matter how Huang Gai and Zhou Yu acted, they would not let Cao Cao show flaws and defeat Chibi.
Misplaced fierce enemies, hegemony obstacles
The four mistakes of sleeping and killing by mistake, and leaving the wrong letter made Cao Cao suffer, but none of them were as bad as the impact of another mistake on Cao Wei Jiangshan. If there was no misplaced person, Cao Cao would have one less strong enemy on the journey to unify the three kingdoms.
Liu Bei doesn't seem to be a person who can achieve great things. He lacked the ruthlessness and ruthlessness necessary to play with power, nor was he as bold as Cao Cao.
When Liu Bei was defeated by Lü Bu to Xiaopei and fled to the Xu capital to join Cao Cao, Cao Cao gave him soldiers and horses and made him a pastor of Yuzhou. It was during this time that the famous "Emperor Lost His Fortune" occurred, in which Liu Bei left Cao with the impression that he was timid and afraid that things would be difficult to achieve.
At that time, Cao Liu and Liu were talking, and Cao Cao rose up and said: "Today's heroes are only the king and the ears." The original disciples are not enough. Such words startled Liu, who was eating, and his chopsticks fell to the ground.
There was a burst of thunder, and Liu Bei blamed his gaffe on the fright of the thunder and managed to muddle through in front of Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao must not have imagined that this person in front of him, who was afraid of thunder, would be able to become his fierce enemy in the future.
There have always been different opinions about why Cao Cao did not kill Liu Bei. But in any case, from Cao Cao's subjective point of view, in addition to being afraid of Liu Bei's popularity and appeal, the rest is arrogance of his own strength and contempt for Liu Bei.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's failure to overcome the arrogance in his nature and eradicate Liu Bei as soon as possible, how could he have encountered the situation in which Liu Bei's power grew and he divided the world into three parts.
Even if he is powerful and resourceful, he also makes mistakes that affect his life because he fails to control himself in front of human desires. It can be seen that if people want to suffer less, control the seven emotions and six desires, and not get carried away by desires, it is the best policy.
