I remember that in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao once said a very famous sentence, that is, to have a son should be like Sun Zhongmou. This Sun Zhongmou everyone knows is Sun Jian's son, Sun Quan. Judging from historical records, Sun Quan was a very good monarch, and later became one of the emperors of the Three Kingdoms, which is indeed a remarkable figure.
Many people sighed at this point, Cao Cao's vision is really poisonous, and he can see the future of this person from his childhood. However, we still have to say that Cao Cao's feelings about Sun Quan are really unfounded, because Sun Jian's son is excellent, but it is only one, and Boss Cao's son has many, and all of them are talents.
The smartest of these sons is Cao Chong, and the story of Cao Chong calling himself an elephant in the textbook is almost popular and breathtaking. It should be said that Cao Chong's wisdom is definitely more than Sun Zhongmou's, so the question is, why did Cao Chong not record it later? It turned out that there was quite an article behind this matter, and it was no wonder that Cao Cao would feel the wisdom of Sun Zhongmou.
Regarding the story of Cao Chong, most people should have heard of the story called Cao Chong in textbooks. Although this paragraph has different accounts in history, even Master Chen Yinke has specially carried out anti-counterfeiting and wants to discuss the truth and falsity of it. In this regard, we will not comment too much, but this alone is enough to prove that Cao Chong, the little guy, is indeed extraordinary.
If Cao Chong's claim to the elephant represents the solidity of children's mathematics, then Cao Chong's capture of assassins is even more a manifestation of political wisdom. It is said that someone once assassinated Cao Cao, but the assassination failed, and the assassins fled into the crowd.
Cao Cao wanted to capture the assassins, and Cao Zhang and the others directly said that they would close the city gates and search one by one. Cao Chong objected, and asked his father to open the city gate, and then let everyone squat at the city gate. Sure enough, Cao Chong used the method to seduce all the assassins, and then arrested them all.
It can be seen that Cao Chong's political sensitivity is also very high, which is an all-round genius from childhood.
In addition, the history books also record an incident, Cao Cao had a subordinate under his hands to raise horses, and as a result, rats were prevalent at that time, and the horse's accessories were bitten. At that time, Cao Cao's methods of governing the country according to law were very harsh, so the subordinate was frightened and trembling. In this case, Cao Chong stood up to help, he reassured this subordinate, told him not to worry, and then asked him to go to the guilt in three days, there must be no problem.
Naturally, his subordinates could not understand, but they still followed the advice of the little young master, and on the third day, they asked Cao Cao for his sins. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao, who had always killed people without blinking, actually did not attack him and appeased him.
So why? It turned out that after Cao Chong sent his subordinates, he deliberately broke his clothes, and then ran to his father to cry, saying that the rat had bitten his clothes, which meant that it was not auspicious, and his future would certainly be ominous. Cao Cao naturally did not want his son to be sad, so he advised him that rats biting bad things are normal phenomena, and there is no need to worry too much about the sky.
Just at this time, his men reported that the rat had bitten the horse's equipment, and there was no doubt that Cao Cao had just spoken out, which was a normal phenomenon, so naturally he could not blame his subordinates in front of his son, so the matter was safely passed.
According to historical records, in addition to Cao Chong's wisdom, he also had a kind heart. With strong arithmetic ability, sensitive political intuition, and a kind heart, there is no doubt that if Cao Chong becomes Cao Cao's successor, then he will definitely become a benevolent king, and a capable benevolent king.
But what is more tragic is that such an excellent successor died at the age of 13. It is precisely because he died early, so he did not have time to compete with Sun Zhongmou, so that Cao Cao issued a desperate cry in the TV series, regretting that he should not kill Na Hua Tuo!
However, it is worth mentioning that when Cao Chong died, Sima Yi next to him sneered. Logically, Sima Yi was supposed to become Cao Chong's teacher, but he was very disdainful of Cao Chong, and even directly said that Cao Chong was stupid, so why is this?
In fact, if we compare Sun Zhongmou and Cao Chong, we will find problems. Cao Chong is a very intelligent person, and everyone knows that he is smart. But what about Sun Zhongmou? Although everyone knew that he was smart, Sun Zhongmou always had no light in front of his brothers, and always showed a harmless figure who did not participate in the fight.
Therefore, when Sun Ce died, he was willing to hand over the world to his younger brother Sun Zhongmou, and believed that she would protect her son and family property.
On the other hand, Cao Chong is not only well known for his cleverness, but also has not the slightest restraint, causing everyone to worry that he will become Cao Cao's sole heir. In the TV series, Cao Pi hates his brother to the bone, and even Cao Zhi has a deep jealousy of this little brother.
Not only these two shizi, but even the civilian officials and think tanks behind them all had bad intentions for Xiao Cao Chong. Therefore, Cao Chong was destined not to live long, which also led to many wild histories recording Cao Chong's death, which may have died at the hands of Cao Pi, and may even have died at the hands of Sima Yi and other think tanks.
Therefore, we are not polite to say that even if Cao Chong survived later, he would never be able to compare with Sun Zhongmou. Because Sun Zhongmou not only survived, but also directly turned his face and did not recognize people after he took power, not only deposed his nephew, but also expelled his sister-in-law forever. If Sun Quan is a wolf that can disguise, then Cao Chong is still on top of the Happy Sheep who can only play tricks, and the high and low natural judgments are made, and it is precisely because of this that Sima Yi said that he was stupid.
From this point of view, at that time, Cao Cao sighed that Sun Jian had a good son, and that was really not bragging. After all, among Cao Cao's sons, Cao Zhiwencai was a good one, but he was a wine-colored person, and Cao Zhang's martial arts were strong, but he was a person full of muscles. The only two who took the shot, Cao Pi and Cao Chong, one was the Lord of Yin Carving, and the other was Xiao Clever, and they were really not as good as Sun Zhongmou, who had two faces.
So it's still that sentence, the hour is up, and it's inevitable. Many children are prodigies, but they have not mastered the scale and all of them are ruined, Fang Zhongyong is like this, Kong Rong is so, even Cao Chong is the same, maybe Sun Quan is an individual case, but Boss Cao does not have such a blessing.
