Cao Cao, a generation of tyrants, was born in PeiGuo County, which is now Bozhou, Anhui. The reason why he can become a generation of tyrants is inseparable from his childhood experience. When he was young, his family was very well, and most of the accomplished people in childhood would experience many tribulations, such as poverty, illness, disaster, etc., but Cao Cao was different, he lived a life of fine clothes and jade food from an early age. Cao Cao's great-grandfather Cao Jie was an honest man, and he did not dare to resist when neighbors came to their house to grab pigs, and because of this, he could not raise children, so he sent his son Cao Teng to the palace as a eunuch. Cao Teng is really suitable for working in the court, he has experienced the emperors of the four dynasties, and he can still maintain his glory and wealth, which shows his ability. Not only that, Cao Teng was also a broad-minded person, and Shi Zongsong had reported Cao Teng to the emperor for accepting bribes, but because there was no evidence, Cao Teng was not guilty.
For this reason, Cao Teng did not remember to hate Seed Song, but instead promoted Seed Song many times, which made Seed Song very grateful. No matter what purpose Cao Teng used to recommend Seed Song, his approach won him the hearts of the people and laid the foundation for the formation of Cao Cao's character. Unable to have children, Cao Teng adopted a child with the surname Xiahou as his son and named him Cao Song,cao cao's father. Cao Song had little ability, but because of his economic strength, he spent 100 million yuan to buy a lieutenant and became the third duke. In such a family environment, Cao Cao's childhood was naturally free to eat and wear. You know, the people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty lived very hard under the suppression of landlords and nobles, and the struggle between foreign relatives and eunuch groups was also quite fierce, which deepened the darkness of society, so Cao Cao, who enjoyed the golden clothes and jade food, was happy, and at the same time he was unfortunate, because after all, he was the family of eunuchs, even if he had money, he would be looked down upon, comparing Liu Bei can see the gap, although Liu Bei grew up poor, he had the title of "After king Jing of Zhongshan", so he was respected everywhere he went.
Cao Cao grew up in a despised environment, and his grandfather was also a sleek eunuch, and he could not provide Cao Cao with too high-quality education, which made his character more and more treacherous. The treachery of the problem boy Cao Cao showed itself from an early age, and the most well-known thing was that he designed to frame his uncle, because his uncle always complained to Cao Song about Cao Cao's various misdeeds, and Cao Cao did the opposite, and finally Cao Song no longer believed his uncle's words, and from then on Cao Cao could do whatever he wanted. He had a particularly close relationship with Yuan Shao when he was a child, and if Yuan Shao knew that he would clean up himself very badly after he knew that his hair was small, it is estimated that he would have started at that time. Once, when he and Yuan Shao were out to play, they happened to see someone holding a wedding, and the two of them took advantage of the chaos to run to the cave room and robbed the bride. There are two theories of the subsequent development, one is that Yuan Shao ran first with the bride on his back, and Cao Cao ran from the other direction, and shouted while running, the thief is here, come and chase.
The second theory is that when the two escaped with their brides, Yuan Shao fell into the bushes and could not get out, and Cao Cao shouted in a hurry: "The thief is here." Yuan Shao was shocked and immediately ran out of the bushes. After growing up, Cao Cao snatched Zhang Xiu's aunt again, and paid for the lives of his son Cao Ang and the general Dianwei, which shows that the child's character must be cultivated from an early age, otherwise there will be problems. No matter which way it is said, it is Yuan Shao who suffers the loss in the end, but this also reflects Cao Cao's wisdom and cunning. Although Cao Cao is a problem teenager, it is undeniable that he is a person with ideals and ambitions. As a great writer, he can write such atmospheric poems as "East of Jieshi, to view the sea", in addition to being broad-minded, more importantly, he has a high literary literacy, and this comes from his diligence and studiousness.
People who love to learn naturally have lofty ideals, but Cao Cao, who has a bad appearance and family environment, has always been despised by people, until a person appears and gives him motivation. This person was Qiao Xuan, and when he first met the 15-year-old Cao Cao, he concluded that he would be a man who could stabilize the world. And Qiao Xuan's encouragement also made Cao Cao's bloodline tense, and also deepened his determination to make meritorious achievements. Cao Cao's father and grandfather were both powerful and powerful in the dynasty, coupled with Qiao Xuan's appreciation, so he was elected as filial piety at the age of 20, and Liu Bei next door had to know that Cao Cao's career was so smooth that he could not cry in the toilet. As soon as Cao Cao took office, he foolishly killed the uncle of the eunuch Jian Shuo on the grounds that this uncle had violated the prohibition of nocturnal travel. Jian Shuo was devastated, but he and the emperor could not deal with Cao Cao, after all, Cao Cao was in accordance with the regulations. Cao Cao dared to challenge what others did not dare to do, he not only dared to take a shot at Jian Shuo, he also dared to challenge Zhang Rang, one of the "Ten Constant Attendants".
He went to Zhang Rang's home alone to assassinate Zhang Rang, but was surrounded by more than 10 people, and finally retreated completely, which made people have to admire Cao Cao's ability. Conclusion: A generation of adulterous male Cao Cao was bohemian, treacherous and cunning when he was a child, but he was also diligent and studious, courageous, and proud, and such a complex personality left a flesh-and-blood image for posterity. In terms of personality, Cao Cao is actually more cute than Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
