Preface
The times create heroes, and the times are also, and the fate is also!
It is said that it is because the pattern at that time has created countless heroes, so why were Liu Bang and Li Yuan able to achieve unification in less than seven years when they were also in the midst of a change of dynasty?
However, it took 34 years to get to Cao Cao, and despite this, Cao Cao only fought for a third of the world.
The same as well as the difference in the uprising
When Liu Bang rebelled and Li Yuan rebelled, there was one thing in common, that is, the emperors of the previous dynasty were all second.
The common people couldn't survive at that time, so a vigorous uprising broke out, but Liu Bang and Li Yuan were different in that his starting point was much lower than Li Yuan.
Liu Bang was only the chief of the Surabaya Pavilion at the beginning, although he was a petty official, but he was indeed not ranked at all, and at the time of the uprising, his team was also very weak, only the dozens of prisoners he released at that time.
After that, Liu Bang's power slowly began to grow and develop, and Liu Bang was also actively looking for ways to strengthen his strength, and more importantly, Liu Bang "knew people and made good use of them".
More importantly, Liu Bang was a person who "listened to persuasion", and to a certain extent, this was good for the army that was developing at that time, because in this way, it was possible to avoid a certain war, so as to maintain the number of personnel on his side.
However, Liu Bang's strongest opponent at that time was still Xiang Yu, but Xiang Yu didn't take Liu Bang seriously at all, Xiang Yu had an army of 400,000 at that time, but Liu Bang only had 100,000.
The two sides agreed at that time that whoever arrived in Xianyang first would be king, and Liu Bang was the first to reach Xianyang, but Liu Bang gave up Xianyang because he clearly knew that he was not Xiang Yu's opponent.
So after Xiang Yu became king, Liu Bang was sealed in Hanzhong, but Liu Bang only stayed in Hanzhong for a few months before counterattacking back, and after Xiang Yu killed himself in Wujiang, Liu Bang unified the whole country.
Tang Gaozu Li Yuan and the emperor of the Sui Dynasty are related, if counted, these two people belong to the cousins.
Under Yang Guang's rule, uprisings began to break out in various parts of the Sui Dynasty, and at the suggestion of Li Shimin, Li Yuan decided to revolt, and Li Yuan's sphere of influence at that time was in what is now Taiyuan, Shanxi.
This place can be said to have taken advantage of the time and place, because this place is relatively close to the capital of the Sui Dynasty, but it is worth mentioning that Li Yuan at that time was actually going to suppress the uprising.
Li Yuan's slogan at the time of the uprising was "Do the right thing for heaven" and abolish the faint monarch, and this slogan quickly spread among the people, and Li Yuan also used this to expand his army.
At that time, the world was divided by various forces, but their power was not as great as Li Tang's, so in 618 AD, Li Yuan was proclaimed emperor.
Among them, they have a strong opponent, that is, Wang Shichong, but Wang Shichong's power is not as good as that of the Li Tang Dynasty.
Compared with Liu Bang and Li Yuan, it is slightly more complicated, after he is a eunuch, Cao Cao's father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, which makes Cao Cao's identity often intolerable by the world.
Cao Teng
And compared with other heroes and heroes at that time, Cao Cao was a proper poor family, and in order to win over people, Cao Cao used a lot of methods.
After that, Cao Cao was even more "coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes", this move is indeed high, and the rights of the princes have indeed weakened the power of the princes to a certain extent, but everything has its two sides.
Cao Cao thus became a "thorn in the eye" of everyone, but there were many separatist forces at that time, and these people were not "fuel-efficient" lamps.
The territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty was divided into three, these three countries were Wei Shu Wu, Cao Cao was the Cao Wei regime, Liu Bei was the Shu Han regime, and Sun Quan was the Sun Wu regime.
Among these waves of forces, there are many capable people with lofty ideals, so it is not easy for Cao Cao to divide the world as a humble man.
After all, Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Bang, in terms of identity, Liu Bei has an advantage, not to mention that Liu Bei also has a Zhuge Liang, and Sun Quan is a descendant of military generals.
Specific reasons
Judging from the process of their fortune, Liu Bang and Tang Gaozu Li Yuan have encountered strong opponents, but after they have expanded to a certain extent, their power is stronger than other forces.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before they want to unify the world, but Cao Cao has encountered more opponents, although Cao Cao also "knows people and makes good use of them", but there are many other forces with lofty ideals.
More importantly, after the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, it was difficult for these three forces to break this "strange circle" for a while.
This is also the reason why Cao Cao can only fight for a three-point situation in such a long time.
Among them, it also has a lot to do with the situation in the world at that time, Liu Bang and Li Yuan are in their respective eras, the old order has been broken, and the new order has been germinating.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang swept Liuhe, built the Great Wall, wrote the same text, and built the same track, and almost established the foundation of all the new order.
As for Li Yuan, the situation is much better, and everyone knows that Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was "tyrannical" and gathered a lot of people to build the Grand Canal when he built it.
In ancient times, every time a major project was built, it was always necessary to "work the people and lose money", and many people would die in these projects, because there were too many people who died, so when it reached a certain extent, people naturally began to break out in revolt, after all, who doesn't want to fight for a way to live for themselves?
After the establishment of the Li Tang Dynasty, the Grand Canal established during the Sui Dynasty still came in handy, and more importantly, the power of the gate valve nobles at that time was very large, as long as the gate valve nobles wanted to support whom, then they would invest corresponding resources.
In the era in which Cao Cao lived, there was only the collapse of the old order, and the society at that time was like a pool of troubled water, and in this troubled water, it was indeed difficult to earn a place.
