Cao Cao is the only one who can lift the world
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the fainting and unscrupulousness of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling of han, the officials were very corrupt, they levied tyrannically, and oppressed the people, resulting in the people's livelihood, so there was a great revolt of the Yellow Turban peasants led by Zhang Jiao, and the people of the world rose up one after another. In the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the local princes were strong and powerful, taking advantage of the situation to recruit troops, buy horses, support themselves, and covet the throne of imperial power, the emperor became a puppet, and there was a chaotic situation in which the heroes competed for the world. He Jin, Dong Zhuo, Ding Yuan, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Bao Xin, Gongsun Zhan, Lü Bu, Sun Jian, Kong Rong, Liu Yu, Liu Biao, Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang, and so on, the heroes and good men of the world have appeared one after another, just as the so-called great waves and sands, in successive years of conquest, Cao Cao's strength gradually became stronger, defeated many strong enemies, unified the north, first established hegemony, his son Cao Pi based on this, and later established the State of Wei among the three kingdoms, with strong national strength. At the time of the establishment of the Three Kingdoms, it was also able to suppress Liu Bei of the Shu Han Dynasty and Sun Quan of Eastern Wu.
Cao Cao
The most fundamental reason why Cao Cao was able to gradually win in the crowd is that Cao Cao attaches great importance to talents, cherishes talents, and only moves. At the beginning, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao raised an army together, Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao: "If major events are not successful, where can we hold it?" Cao Cao said, "What do you think?" Yuan Shao said: "I am defending the Yellow River in the south, yan and dai in the north, plus the strength of ethnic minorities, going south to compete for the world, probably can I succeed?" Cao Cao said, "I will appoint people with wisdom and ability in the world, and use morality to command these people anywhere." This passage of Cao Cao's words shows that he cherishes and correctly uses talents, and is invincible. Zhuge Liang also mentioned in "Longzhong Pair": "Since Dong Zhuo has come, Haojie has been combined, and there are countless people who cross the state and even counties." Cao Cao is inferior to Yuan Shao, but his name is small and the people are widowed, but Cao Cao can be Ke Shao, and the weak are strong, not only in heaven, but also in the world." That is to say, the reason why Cao Cao was able to win in the crowd was not only because he occupied the heaven of "holding the son of heaven to order the princes", the most important factor was that Cao Cao was the only one who was able to lift, cherish talents, take the initiative to recruit talents, and recruit talents from all over the world. It is precisely because he attaches great importance to talents that he has made his subordinates "like a forest of strategists and warriors gathered", and the joint efforts of these talents have achieved his hegemony! Throughout the ages, the common feature of those who have achieved great things is that they attach great importance to talents.
Cao Cao paid tribute to Yuan Shao
As an outstanding politician and military figure in Chinese history, Cao Cao attached great importance to the absorption and selection of talents, and clearly put forward the criteria for the employment of "only one is the move". In the era of "Haojie rising together" at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was able to stand out from the crowd, open up his own territory, and make the State of Wei the strongest of the Three Kingdoms, laying a good foundation for future generations. These achievements are all closely related to his far-sighted leadership concept and outstanding political wisdom, especially in his ability to achieve "courtesy corporals", "only is the only move", "know people and do good job" in the employment of people, in his life's political career, many of the strategists and generals he has treated with courtesy are willing to go to the soup for him, which also shows his personal political charm.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were many talents, but only a few people were able to recruit talents and really employ people. Among them, Cao Cao belongs to the typical example of seeking talents and thirsting for talents. "To compete for the world must be the first to compete for people", three orders to seek talents can see Cao Cao's desire for talents. In the "Order for Meritocracy", which was first issued in the spring of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, he pointed out that "the only thing is to lift, and I have to use it." It is said that this is the first time in China's history that the employment policy of "only one is the move" has been clearly put forward. In the third "Order on The Conduct of the Virtuous and not to Restrain The Conduct", it is even proposed that "each of them knows what they know, and do not leave anything behind". As long as he has the ability, no matter who he is, even if he is a chicken and dog thief, maybe one day it will come in handy. When there is a contradiction between virtue and talent, and it is not possible to have both, take the talent first. This is Cao Cao's choice of employing people in a chaotic world and unstable political status (this is very different from the employment of modern society, and now the society employs people with both moral integrity and ability, and when both moral integrity and ability cannot be possessed, morality is the first. Different historical periods have produced different policy orientations).
It was cao cao's subversive way of employing people that made him always surrounded by all kinds of fierce generals, including: Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Dianwei, Xu Chu, Zhang Guo, Pang De, and so on; the courtiers were: Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu, Sima Yi, Xu You, Cui Yan, Mao Jie, and so on; Each one is second to none. The Western Jin Dynasty literary scholar Zuo Si pointed out in the poem "History of Yong": "He Shi has no wizards, and his legacy is in The Grass." "It's not that there are no talents, it's just that it's buried and not put to good use." In the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei and Sun Quan had unique features in employing people, but Cao Cao was particularly prominent in this regard. In the Three Kingdoms epics of Guo Jia's will, Xu You's surrender to Cao, the surrender of Chen Lin, guan Yu's Tushan covenant, the subjugation of Zhang Liao, Cao Cao's not killing Of Wang Xiu, and many other three-kingdom epics, we can see cao Cao's thirst for talents and bold appointment of talents.
Guo Jia's last resort. Guo Jia was an important strategist of Cao Cao, and he repeatedly planned plans at a time of crisis for Cao Cao, and when Cao Cao was pacified and prepared to attack Wuhuan, the generals opposed it, and only Guo Jia encouraged the troops, and Cao Cao won the expedition victory according to his opinion. When he came back and heard that Guo Jia had died, Cao Cao cried as if his parents had died, saying, "When Guo Jia died, it was God who punished me, which made my heart break." Before his death, Guo Jia also wrote a letter to Cao Cao, suggesting cao Cao's plan to fight against Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. Cao Cao did not move according to his opinion, and he received good news from Gongsun Kang. Cao Cao once again worshipped Guo Jia and asked him to help Guo Jia's coffin back to Xudu for burial. During the Chibi War, because there was no strategist like Guo Jia to remind Cao Cao that Cao Cao had an absolute advantage, but he failed and fled to Nan County, Cao Cao expressed his regret for the death of the talent in the way of crying Guo Jia.

Xu Youtou Cao. In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao fought, Yuan Shao had the advantage, at that time the two armies were facing each other, and Cao Cao's army had run out of food, so Cao Cao had no choice. At this time, Xu You, a strategist in Yuan Shao's camp, suddenly came to join Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard the news, and came out barefoot to greet him. There are two meanings: one is called too late to put on shoes, as soon as he hears that Xu You has come barefoot, he runs out and is overjoyed; the second is to show respect, because in ancient times barefoot was to show respect.
Xu You threw himself at Cao Cao late at night
Surrender Chen Lin. Chen Lin once drafted a tribute to Cao Cao for Yuan Shao, with fierce words and literary style, and was a heavy cannonball fired at Cao Cao. Cao Cao was suffering from head wind at that time, and after watching it, he was "creepy and sweaty, and he didn't feel that the head wind suddenly healed, and he jumped up from the bed", which showed that Cao Cao was in the middle of the text. When Cao Cao learned that the text was from Chen Lin's hand, he was not only not angry, but said with a bit of schadenfreude: Those who have literature must use martial arts to help them. Although you Chen Lin's literary affairs are good, how can Yuan Shaowu not match it, it is also in vain. Later, Chen Lin was captured by Cao Cao, and everyone around cao advised Cao Cao to kill Chen Lin, and Cao Cao, because he loved Chen Lin Wencai, not only pardoned him of his capital crimes, but also stayed with him as an official.
Cao Cao surrendered Chen Lin
Guan Yu Tushan about three things. Guan Yu was a famous fierce general in Liu Bei's camp, Cao Cao was very fond of Guan Yu, Liu Bei Xuzhou was defeated, Guan Yu was besieged by heavy troops, Cao Cao very much wanted to subdue Guan Yu, sent people to persuade him to surrender, accepted The three "Overlord Clauses" of Guan Yu's surrender, "Surrender Han does not surrender", "If Liu Bei's whereabouts are found, leave immediately" and "Liu Bei's wives enjoy the treatment of emperors", etc. After Guan Yu surrendered, Cao Cao treated Guan Yu very well, in addition to feasting, sending gifts, and sealing officials, he also gave the red rabbit horse to Guan Yu. It can be seen that Cao Cao is very fond of Guan Yu's generals.
About three things in Guan Gong Tun Tu Shan
Accept Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao, who was originally a fierce general under Lü Bu, had defeated Cao Cao in Puyang and was later captured by Cao Cao, saying to Cao Cao: "Unfortunately, the fire was not big that day, and it did not burn you to death." Cao Cao was furious and said, "The defeated general still dares to insult me." "I want to kill Zhang Liao." Zhang Liao was not afraid at all, and stretched out his neck for Cao Cao to kill. Liu Bei and Guan Yu interceded for Zhang Liao, praising Zhang Liao as a loyal soldier, and Cao Cao immediately threw his sword and laughed, saying, "I also know that Zhang Liao is loyal and deliberately made a joke with him." He personally untied the rope for Zhang Liao, took clothes for Zhang Liao to put on, and invited Zhang Liao to sit on the upper seat. After Zhang Liao surrendered, because of his bravery in fighting, he was given the title of Zhonglang General and given the title of Marquis of Guannei.

Cao Cao did not kill Wang Xiu. After Cao Cao killed Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan, he ordered the first rank to behead those who dared to cry. Qingzhou Beiqi Wang Xiubu crowned clothes weeping under Yuan Tan's head, was brought to see the, Wang Xiu said that he was appointed by Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan died and did not cry is unrighteous, Afraid of death and forget righteousness, how to establish the world! "And proposed that if Tan's body could be buried, even if he was killed, he would not resent it." Cao Cao said, "Hebei Yishi, how many! Unfortunately, Yuan Shi can't use it! If it can be used, then I dare to look at this place? So he ordered the burial of Yuan Tan's corpse, treated Wang Xiu as a guest, thought that he was a general in charge, and asked Wang Xiu why he had a plan to attack Yuan Shang, who had already surrendered to Yuan Xi, but Wang Xiu did not answer, and Cao Cao was not only not annoyed, but also praised: "Loyal subjects also." ”
Cao Cao did not kill Wang Xiu
Chen Shou's Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms also has a more detailed record of Cao Cao's policy on employing people in many places, and the "Records of Emperor Wu" says, (Original: In the spring of the fifteenth year, the order was written: "Since ancient times, the king of Zhongxing, can not taste the sage and the gentleman to rule the world with him? And his virtuous, once did not go out of Lu Alley, how fortunate to meet? The one who is above does not ask for an ear. Today's decision is not yet decided, and this special request for the best is also urgent. 'Meng Gong is Zhao and Wei Lao, and cannot be Teng or Xue'. If it is available after the company, then why is Qi Huanqi hegemonic? Who is it that has been fished by brown jade in Weibin today? And do you have to receive money without robbing your sister-in-law and not meeting the ignorant? The second and third sons are clear and ugly, but they are lifted, and I have to use them." This means that in the spring of the fifteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered that the monarch who has been able to make the country prosperous since ancient times has not been given the merits and gentlemen to rule the world with himself! Wait until you find a talent, but you can't let him leave the alley, is this a good luck to meet? That's how smart people visit talent. If there is no stability today, it is the time to urgently visit the talents. Confucius said that Meng Gong was more than enough to serve as a vassal of the Zhao clan, but he was not qualified for the positions of Teng Guo and Xue Guo. If you must get a clean talent to appoint, then Qi Huan is dominant in the world! Is there anyone in the world like Jiang Ziya who is very skilled but fishing at the edge of the Wei Water? Is there anyone who accepts bribes like Chen Ping but does not meet a confidant? You have to help me discover those who are buried in the lower classes, as long as they have talent, they will be recommended, and I will appoint talented people. This record clearly points out Cao Cao's thirst for talents, and counts the historical examples of successful selection of talents, emphasizing the importance of talents and exhorting his subordinates to pay attention to recommending talents to him.
Cao Cao in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was rated as a powerful ruler of the world and a tyrant of the chaotic world. His attitude toward talents, above Liu Bei, Sun Quan and other contemporaries, did not distort the historical Cao Cao, but wrote him more fresh and plump, ready to come out. Cao Cao issued many orders to seek meritocracy, put forward the idea of employing people that "only is the move", shaking the ancient and modern times, "those who win the people are prosperous, and those who lose people die", who wants to dominate the world, who must be Luo Zhi talents, in the process of confrontation and annexation of the Three Kingdoms, the competition for talents has become the key issue in the rise and fall of the causes of various princes, and Cao Cao's ability to be good at Luo Zhi talents and cherish talents is indeed very famous, Cao Cao's wide range of virtuous roads, eclecticism, only the merits, and the selection of talents and talents have made him stand out in the competition for hegemony among the masses...
