First, the butterfly effect, missing Zhuge Liang
In 193 AD, this year Cao Cao was 38 years old, although it cannot be said that the spring breeze was proud, but his career was slightly small, occupying Yanzhou. Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and other cattle people came to his men, which was the critical period for accumulating strength. But with a thunderclap, his father died in The Territory of Tao Qian in Xuzhou!
Cao Cao was anxious, and the famous Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou in history, thus opening the curtain. Cao Cao's frenzied revenge led to the biggest defeat of his life, when he killed Red Eye in Xuzhou, Chen Gong in the rear quietly welcomed Lü Bu in, and Cao Cao's backyard caught fire and rushed to the rescue.
During the Battle of Pucheng, Lü Bu knocked on Cao Cao's helmet and asked: Say, where is Cao Cao?
Cao Cao was frightened, and hurriedly pointed to the front and said: "There! Lü Bu chased after "Cao Cao", and Cao Cao's own figure escaped the disaster.
However, the above stories, which are like "duanzi", are not the biggest losses of Cao Cao's tuxu. His biggest loss was that he missed a cattle man who influenced the history of the Three Kingdoms, who? It was Zhuge Liang!
At that time, Zhuge Liang was only 12 years old and was living in the Xuzhou area, and because Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou, he had to follow his uncle Zhuge Xuan and fled to Jingzhou, becoming "Mr. Wolong" in Nanyang. In any case, Cao Cao's cruelty thus took root in Zhuge Liang's heart.
Why did Zhuge Liang say anything, and did not serve Cao Wei, even if his good friends Xu Shu (Xu Shu in the history of Zhengshi, it was his own initiative to defect), Shi Tao, Meng Jian, etc. all defected to Cao Wei. But Zhuge Liang was iron-hearted, so he assisted the weak Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, and even eventually died of Wuzhangyuan? All this was actually doomed when Cao Cao slaughtered Xuzhou!
Therefore, it was not Liu Bei's "Three Gu Maolu" that touched Zhuge Liang. The real reason is that Liu Bei's "Kuang Fu Han Room" is actually the will to swear to die and Cao Cao's death, and it is in tune with Zhuge Liang - if there is no common ideal (enemy), the so-called touching can only work for a while, and it is absolutely impossible to be eternal!
In other words, the reason why Cao Cao missed Zhuge Liang and cultivated the most terrible opponent for Cao Wei was entirely caused by his indiscriminate killing and cruelty - his father was killed, and he had a debt and a master, and had a dime relationship with innocent people?
This was actually a major reason why Cao Cao failed to finally unify the three kingdoms. No one can deny that Cao Cao is the male lord, but at the same time, his indiscriminate killing and cruelty cannot be washed away. Because Liu Bei just grasped the shortcomings of Cao Cao, the so-called with urgency, I with leniency; with violence, I with benevolence; with humor, I with loyalty; every time I fight against cao, things can become ears.
Why can Liu Bei become an undead "Xiao Qiang"? The real reason is not Liu Beiduo niu, but cao Cao himself! And it was precisely because Cao Cao missed Zhuge Liang and made him serve the Shu Han, which led to the strong rise of Sima Yi. Because Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition actually allowed Sima Yi to pick peaches.
For this result, Cao Cao may only sadly say: I was impulsive and willful when I was 38 years old, at most the butterfly flapped its wings a few times, but I did not expect that in the end, it triggered a devastating hurricane!
General analysis: The so-called causal connection, every thing and every action of a person may trigger the "butterfly effect". Evil will be amplified and eventually regurgitated against itself. Goodness will also be magnified, and "good rewards" will be endless. To be a human being, we still need to be more good and abandon evil, especially the more capable people are, the more they should pay attention to this!
Second, give up life and miss Guan Yu
In 200 AD, when Cao Cao was 45 years old, he once again defeated Liu Bei and forced Guan Yu to surrender. For Guan Yu, Cao Cao was "true love." One Guan Yu is indeed a cow and has the ability. Second, this is the critical period of his life and death, and he will soon have to fight a life-and-death decisive battle with Yuan Shao, so Cao Cao's thirst for talents has reached its peak!
Unfortunately, Guan Yu finally left, making Cao Cao regret missing! Many people say that Cao Cao's interpretation of Guan Yu and Guan Yu's return to Liu Bei after his death can be called a historical masterpiece! Of course, there are still people who analyze from the perspective of "different Ways are not conspiratorial" and so on. In short, Cao Cao's missing Guan Yu was also the reason why he ultimately failed to unify the Three Kingdoms.
The so-called "Shu small country ear, famous general Only Feather, Feather Death Army Decline" This is the final conclusion of history! So why did Cao Cao miss Guan Yu? In fact, this matter was planted as early as a year ago.
In 199 AD, Cao Cao besieged Lü Bu in Xia Pi, and Guan Yu found Cao Cao and said: I still have no son, there is a Lady Du in Xia Pi City, I like it very much. After asking for the destruction of the city, give me Lady Du's promise. Cao Cao agreed very crisply. But what kind of person Guan Yu was very clear, afraid that Cao Cao would repent, and reminded him several times.
Which expected to backfire, Cao Cao was serious: How beautiful should this Lady Du be, and how can it attract Guan Yu's attention? Therefore, cao Cao found Lady Du for the first time, and she was indeed very beautiful. Cao Cao didn't say a word, he asked for it himself! Since then, Guan Yu has been "uneasy".
This is the reason why a beautiful woman caused Cao Cao to miss Guan Yu! It is not made up by anyone, but is recorded in the "Huayang Guozhi" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". So, why did Guan Yu have to leave Cao Cao? Although this matter cannot yet reach the level of hatred of "killing the father and taking the wife", is Cao Cao's work on this matter chilling? inevitable!
It is said that Cao Cao is a true disposition. But true temperament, sometimes it is a bad thing - he took the woman Guan Yu liked was another case, and Wancheng took Zhang Xiu's aunt is another case. Therefore, true temperament can also be interpreted as "lack of self-control".
It was precisely because of this deep reason that he not only missed Guan Yu, but also killed his eldest son Cao Ang and the general Dianwei in Wancheng. Needless to say, it's all clear. If Cao Cao could have had more self-control, there might have been Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Sima Yi, and the Three Kingdoms would have been unified long ago!
Analysis of the general: the so-called willing to live. The key to giving up is the problem of self-control. This is actually the classic interpretation of "the invincible who overcomes the self". At the same time, it is also the key to being a human being that many historical cattle people have repeatedly emphasized. Otherwise, even if cao cao is as talented as cao cao, he will have to accept punishment only because he lacks some self-control, and he must not fail to notice this!
Third, I regret my life and miss the Fa
In 219 AD, when Cao Cao was 65 years old, he ushered in the last key battle of his life, which was the "Battle of Hanzhong" with Liu Bei. In fact, Cao Cao could have avoided this battle, and after he surrendered Zhang Lu in Hanzhong two years ago, both Liu Ye and Sima Yi suggested that he take advantage of the opportunity to attack Xichuan and take Liu Bei, who was unstable in one fell swoop.
To Cao Cao, this was the last perfect opportunity for him to eliminate Liu Bei. Therefore, Hanzhong has been the gateway to Xichuan since ancient times, and when Cao Cao took Hanzhong, the whole of Xichuan was "ten shocks a day" and panic could not last forever. Unfortunately, Cao Cao gave up.
However, Liu Bei, with the support and planning of the master Fazheng, resolutely launched the Battle of Hanzhong and killed Xiahou Yuan at Dingjun Mountain, thus laying the foundation for victory in one fell swoop! When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked and angry, and opened his mouth to foul language, calling Xiahou Yuan a "general of the White Land".
But soon after, Cao Cao woke up, no, Liu Bei is the person I know best, how can he have such a bullish vision and means? When he learned that everything was Fazheng's strategy, Cao Cao suddenly said, "I know that If Xuande does not do this, he will be taught by others." ”
But so what? Even if Cao Cao himself came with his troops, he could no longer change the situation of the war, even if he killed Yang Xiu with chicken ribs. Cao Cao finally admitted that Hanzhong had been lost and that he had lost, so he issued a final sigh: "I have done everything possible to collect adultery, and I cannot do justice and evil alone." ”
This means that I have captured almost all the cattle people and heroes, but I have missed the Fa-rectification alone, and the result has led to this uncontrollable result now! Therefore, Fazheng can be called Cao Cao's regret of life!
However, although Cao Cao's words were very sincere, they concealed the real reason. Because Fa zheng is not fighting alone, but represents "Liu Zhang's old department".
Zhang Song was the first to find Cao Cao and wanted to sacrifice Xichuan to him, but what was Cao Cao's attitude at that time? Simply look down on it! This made Zhang Song second and look for Liu Bei! But from then on, Cao Cao's reputation in Xichuan also stinks!
If Cao Cao had been better to Zhang Song, it would have been Liu Bei's turn to enter the river, and Sun Quan would have crossed the river, and Sima Yi would have been even less likely to emerge. Therefore, it was not Xiahou Yuan who was the "General of the White Land", but Cao Cao's over-pride and complacency that led to this ending.
Analysis of the summary: It is said that Guan Yu's pride leads to the tragedy of life, why is this not the case with Cao Cao? The Battle of Chibi originally had no plan, and taking Jingzhou would be over. But Cao Cao saw that Jingzhou was so smooth, and he was proud. What are you afraid of without a plan? Who am I Cao Cao! Jia Xu and others did not use persuading. The result was defeated, and he cried Guo Jia!
This battle of Hanzhong was also like this, he was defeated, scolded Xiahou, Zanfazheng, and did not reflect at all, how he treated Zhang Song in the first place! It can be seen from this that once a person is proud and complacent, it is a terrible thing, and even the minimum ability to reflect has been lost. Yan can not regret a lifetime...
