Cao Cao, a controversial figure in history. He was praised as a generation of heroes, and was also criticized as a thief of the Han family. However, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, among the many lords, Cao Cao was undoubtedly the most capable of dominating, he not only made great achievements in the political, military, cultural and other fields, but also in attracting talents is first-class. Although some may compare Zhuge Liang to Cao Cao's advisors, however, Zhuge Liang's mythological overtones often overshadowed his military inadequacies, and Shu Han gradually fell into chaos after his death, which Cao Cao's political achievements far surpassed him.
However, even with Cao Cao's great political success, his suspicious personality often became the focus of discussion. Nowhere is this more evident than in his attitude towards the people around him. Cao Cao was extremely vigilant and did not trust anyone easily, which was reflected in his attitude towards his wives and concubines, ministers, and even cronies. Among them, there was a concubine who was severely punished by Cao Cao for a seemingly inconsequential mistake, and was even killed by a cane in public.
This incident occurred while Cao Cao was taking a nap, and he was accustomed to taking a short break at noon, and this concubine was chosen as his resting place. However, this nap became her nightmare. Cao Cao told her to wake him up within a certain period of time so as not to delay important affairs. However, when the concubine saw that Cao Cao was sleeping soundly, she was lucky and wanted him to sleep a little longer, in order to please him. However, her actions angered Cao Cao's suspicions, and Cao Cao believed that she was deliberately disobeying his orders, so he became angry and sentenced her to death.
This incident caused a lot of controversy, and many people were puzzled by Cao Cao's behavior, and even felt that he had psychological problems. However, from Cao Cao's point of view, his actions were not gratuitous. In the midst of troubled times, the pressure he faces is enormous, and he needs to be vigilant about his surroundings to avoid being betrayed or attacked. And the concubine's disobedience was regarded by him as a kind of disobedience, and he punished it with severe means, also to show his attitude to the people around him that he would not tolerate disobedience.
Although Cao Cao's behavior was cold, it also reflected his predicament in troubled times. In his opinion, anyone can become a threat to him, and he must be vigilant so that he does not be used or framed. Although this suspicious personality makes him often isolated in relationships, it is this attitude that makes him invincible in troubled times and eventually becomes a generation of heroes.
