And a third of the world is so good? No, as the saying goes, it is easy to conquer the world, but difficult to set it free. You may not be able to sit down and do "work" from the inside, that is, you belong to a surname, a family and a person. This is different from Weiqi, which needs two or more "eyes" to survive. Cao Cao is a master of the special game of Go. He wants to rob, just as Zhuge Liang deliberately robbed Jingzhou of Sun Quan, and Cao Cao also wants to rob Hanzhong. Zhuge Liang wanted to get rid of Guan Yu through Jingzhou, and Cao Cao wanted to get rid of Xia through Hanzhong. Guan Yu is Zhuge Liang's fetter, and the Xiahou brothers are also the stones to prevent Cao Pi from becoming emperor in the future: one is that Xiahou brothers are braver than Cao Jia, and such people are often stubborn and can't pull back nine cows. For example, after Cao Cao's death, Cao Zhang, a brave man, once wanted to seize power; Xiahou brothers' qualifications, contributions and status are comparable to or even higher than Cao Jia's. It's a general, and Xia is also a general of the border defense and government. These three Xiahou brothers are all followers of Cao, and they are purer than eunuchs. For these two tigers, xelloss obviously can't control them. He can barely cope with his descendants and weak scholar Cao Zhi.
It should be noted that Cao Cao is not necessarily worried that Xia Houhe Xiahou _ will usurp the throne by himself, but also worried that they will be regents and help his son to reign. As long as it is suspicious, Cao Cao will clean it up. This is really a paradox. When Xiahou took the lead, it was to show the prestige of Cao Cao's younger brother and to prevent the credit from being left behind. Now, they have made great contributions. However, Cao Cao, like Zhuge Liang, had the foresight to come up with a solution. Guan Yu's role to Zhuge Liang is to be positive first and then negative. In front, we should use him to keep Liu Bei strong and harmonious; Use him to let Cao Cao take Huarong Road, and use him to temporarily guard Jingzhou. Later, Zhuge Liang decided to change his fate and changed the soldiers of Qinchuan and Jingzhou from Liu Bei and Guan Yu to himself and Zhu Gejin. For various reasons, Zhuge Liang didn't succeed, but he made a wedding dress for Liu Bei, who just wanted to get rid of his brother Guan Yu by Zhuge Liang's hand. The emperor's heart is generally black, and both Liu Bei and Cao Cao want to turn themselves into loners before building an altar to reign.
Mainly attack this stubborn concept that everyone has the psychological preparation of "the home wins the world". In the previous stage, the masters of the three countries were all rivers and seas, and Liu Bei worshipped half-brothers; Cao Cao did not avoid the Xiahou brothers; Sun Ce and Sun Quan regard Zhou Yuru as brothers. However, they all changed from heroes to bears. In order to build a world of one surname and one clan, they are willing to betray their faith and hide their bows and boil dogs. How I wish the state government would abide by the rules of Go! Only by balancing two or more surnames can we survive.
Second, Cao Cao's haunting spirit is nothing more than Confucianism, Legalism, witchcraft and its application.
Let's see how Cao Cao plays "robbery" and "abandonment". Compared with the vast north and the cool west, Hanzhong is a tiny place and its geographical position is not dangerous. At best, it's a chicken rib. It's a pity to abandon it. But why did Cao Cao serve himself twice? Last time, in order to drive away the weak Zhang Lu, we could win without him. Last time, in order to resist Liu Bei, who was in full swing, I couldn't keep it. Why bother? Don't laugh at him easily yet. Luo Guanzhong commented on him: "Heroes have no vulgar mind, but they can't come and go without people's eyes. What the ancients did was details, and they were interested in loneliness and luxury. The scholar talked lightly about the people in the tomb and laughed at the book. " It can be seen that Cao Cao, at least in Luo Guanzhong, is elusive and difficult for ordinary literati to understand. Then, let's jump out of the scholar's spirit and try to discuss it with the thinking of a ghost witch.
It turns out that Cao Cao is complicated because he followed two completely opposite witchcraft in his life, one is Zuo Ci's Confucianism, and the other is Guan Yu's witchcraft. Take law as the foundation and Confucianism as the foundation. At first, he was very "resourceful" and made a seamless integration of Confucianism and Legalism. For example, after he assassinated Dong Zhuo, he said to Chen Gong, "I would rather teach you to betray the world than teach the world to betray me." Then he changed his face and raised the banner of "loyalty" in his hometown. At that time, he sent a letter to Jiao, paying attention to the weather, uniting all those who can be United, including his brother and Xia Benming, and paying attention to harmony.
However, as Cao Cao's power tilted to the ruling and opposition, he became arrogant and impetuous and began to take off the coat of Confucianism. It was not until he was terminally ill and things changed that he decided to take a step back and leave the emperor to his son. What's more, my son will pursue himself as the emperor of Mao in the future. Confucianism and overlord can have both. It should be noted here that Zuo Ci and Guan Ju are not objective alchemists and wizards, but symbols of Cao Cao's inner consciousness of Confucianism and Legalism, including his good foresight. Just like Jia Baoyu's police dream, cute. Zuo Ci said that "the country mouse followed Jin Hu, and the adulterer had rested" because he had a premonition that he was going to die in the year of Gengzi. Guan Ju's "being a minister" is his self-consolation after giving up the idea of calling himself emperor. Why can you judge like this? Because first, throughout the whole novel, Luo Guanzhong is a thorough atheist; Second, if there really is a capable god like Zuo Ci in the world, Cao Cao, who hates his guts, will be put to death immediately, instead of being left to "country mice follow Jin Hu". At the same time, he will not just let Liu Bei go to the Western Expedition. Cao Cao spent the rest of his life thinking only about how to help his son Cao Pi pave the way and clear the obstacles.
Third, Yang Xiuren was in Cao Cao's heart during the Han Dynasty, and deliberately played a game of death with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao made Cao Pi a prince, not only because he was the eldest son, but also because he was a continuation of his own legalist thought, and he had the desire for power and the desire to be an emperor, which could fulfill Cao Cao's unfinished ideal. On the contrary, Cao Zhi is a continuation of the Confucian coat that Cao Cao intentionally stripped off. If he is made a prince, he will probably hand over the north to Liu Bei. This is not impossible. Yang Xiu, Cao Zhi's counselor, once deliberately took an arrogant attitude towards Zhang Song and asked him to replace the map of surprisingly with that of Liu Bei. It is worth noting that Baochai of Yang Xiu adheres to Confucianism and Taoism in philosophy and leans towards Liu Shidao in politics.
Cao Cao and Yang Xiu have been bosses and secretaries for many years. They know each other very well, so they decided to perform a duet in Hanzhong. The boss deliberately dug a "chicken rib" trap and the secretary deliberately jumped in. Cao Cao's purpose is to remove Cao Zhi's wings so that Cao Pi can deal with Cao Zhi easily in the future. Yang Xiu's purpose is to risk his life to disturb Cao Cao's morale, so that Liu Bei can successfully occupy Hanzhong. Specifically, on the way to aid the summer March, Cao Cao was suddenly overjoyed and came to Cai to discuss the spelling of "yellow silk young woman, grandson and mortar" on the tablet. The fucking purpose is to be arrogant and Yang Xiu pretends to be naive and ostentatiously says, "Great." Cao Cao suddenly became very sensitive after leisurely making the night slogan of "chicken ribs" "Walking secretly in the village with a steel axe on his back." Yang Xiu and Cao Cao, two difficult servants, met by chance in the barracks. After Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, the novel uses flashbacks to show that Cao Cao was tired of Yang Xiu's help to Cao Zhi. At this time, Yang Xiu disliked Cao Cao more and more, and he didn't deserve help, because Cao Cao's mind was narrowing, which was evident from his suspicion that the garden gate was too wide. The confrontation between Cao Cao and Yang Xiu in Hanzhong is both a win-win and a lose-lose. Yang Xiu lost his young life, and Cao Cao lost two front teeth.
4. Cao Cao took the opportunity to frame Xia and others.
If Cao Cao mobilized his troops to Hanzhong only to kill Yang Xiu, it wouldn't be so elusive. Despite repeated education, Yang Xiu could have done it. But why did Cao Cao have to leave him in Hanzhong? Because he wants to use his lively personality to find opportunities to secretly frame Xia He. Please see: In the first step, Cao Cao killed Xia with his own weapon. Cao Cao's dismantling of Cai Yong's "Miaoshan Hammer" was immediately inspired, and he used the name of "Miaocai" to inspire Xia. Write to him and say: "Anyone who is a general should be both rigid and flexible, not just by his courage. But if it is Ren Yong, it is her husband's enemy. Today, my army is in Nanzheng. If you want to see your wonderful talent, don't insult me. " This move really worked, which not only stimulated Xia Yi's cold, but also made him feel very shrewd. He didn't listen to Zhang He's advice and ordered Xia Houshang to say, "If you go out of the sentry post and fight with Huang Zhong, you should only lose but not win. I have a smart plan, so it is. " The result was self-defeating, and it soon fell into the hands of wily Fazheng and tough Huang Zhong. Here, Cao Cao adopted a typical plan of expansion and arrogance, knowing that Xia had always been "foolhardy", but he still advised him to become flexible, smart and brave at once. Cao Cao said in his letter that he was watching the war in Nanzheng and didn't want to provide assistance. In this world, how can you just write letters and supervise the battle, but just watch? Judging from the actual effect, Cao Cao not only did not provide assistance, but did the opposite, alienating the relationship between Zhang He and Xia, leaving Yuan to face the strong enemy alone. After the death of Xia, Cao Cao immediately took out Guan Yu's poem and said, "March 8" was the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an. "Yellow pig meets tiger" is the year of the first month of Jihai. "Dingjun Shannan" is Dingjun Shannan. In Regret for the Past, Naiyuan and Cao Cao are brothers. How insidious Cao Cao is. It is obvious that he personally killed Xia, but he used witchcraft to shirk his responsibility under the guise of "crying loudly". Looking back a little, we will also find that when Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong and appointed Xia as a guard, he had already moved the idea of killing people. The first purpose of pacifying Cao Cao in Hanzhong was to slow down Liu Bei's expansion momentum; The second is to "abandon the child" and get rid of summer. At that time, although many people advised him to win by surprise, he knew very well that Hanzhong was just a "chicken rib" and could only be used as a small "robbery" to fight a dozen. Compared with Liu Bei, it is also of little use. When Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong and threatened to give up, Zhuge Liang quickly found the looted materials. When Liu Bei seized Hanzhong and threatened the Northern Wei Dynasty, Sima Yi found a bigger trophy-Jingzhou. From then on, the "Three Kingdoms" entered a dynamic balance.
Secondly, Cao Cao used Yang Xiu to create an opportunity to threaten me. Because Xiahou _ is an honest man, he listened to Yang Xiu's surmise, ordered his men to pack their bags in advance and prepare for withdrawing troops, which caused great confusion, so Cao Cao "killed Yang Xiu, pretended to be angry with Xiahou _, and wanted to kill him. All officials are exempted. Cao Cao dismissed Xiahou _ and ordered the invasion of Japan. " Cao Cao's attitude here is exactly the same as Zhuge Liang's attitude towards Guan Yu after Huarong Road. On the surface, he pretends to be angry, but in fact he is a big head. The implication is: you owe me my life, tell me the truth later! Later, like Zhuge Liang, Cao Cao bullied others, deliberately took advantage of Xiahou _, and often preached the truth. Because Xiahou _ felt that he owed Cao Cao, he obeyed him. Finally, one day, when Cao Cao was dying, "I was so angry that I couldn't see anything, so I called Xiahou _ to discuss it." Arriving at the front of the temple, I suddenly saw Empress Fu, Dong Guiren, Second Prince, Dong Cheng, etc. Standing in the dark clouds. I was dumbfounded, left and right, and I got sick from then on. "Alas, Xiahou _ probably thought he was the only orphan of Cao Cao and hurried there, only to be enchanted by Cao Cao. Are there really so many ghosts in Cao Cao's room? No, it's just that Cao Cao scribbled peach symbols and played tricks. Xiahou _ is both his confidant minister and his menace. The real orphans are Cao Hong, Chen Qun, Jia Xu and Sima Yi. He later called it. A few months after Xelloss ascended the throne, Xiahou _, who was ill, died. Like Yuan, he was executed by Cao Cao in three steps, only in time. This is the tragic ending of General One-eyed's brave "drawing an arrow to wipe his eyes". "He didn't know how he died until he died.
5. Cao Cao's fake grandson smiled at his fake son, with infinite pain buried in his heart.
It was not until the last moment of his life that Cao Cao completely exposed the "smallness" in the stomach of the Prime Minister. In order to protect the loneliness of his eldest son in the north, he did not hesitate to abandon his true self, Xiahou's real name and face the fake Cao surname. Ironically, Cao Cao cursed Liu Bei for not accepting his fake son Liu Feng. In fact, he is also the false grandson of Cao Jia. At this time, I'm afraid only Cao felt a dull pain in his heart. Maybe Liu Bei was speechless for a moment, or maybe he didn't want to hurt his face and angered him too much, so he didn't answer blows with blows. What happens if it is returned? The ending will be rewritten. Cao Cao either fell off his horse with a loud cry or ran to Liu Bei without saying a word. We say that Luo Guanzhong's The History of the Three Kingdoms is not necessarily more true than The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it is more philosophical and literary than The History of the Three Kingdoms. Moreover, history is fixed and Shirley is fluid. For 600 years, the perfect history of the Three Kingdoms is like the Yangtze River, flowing to the sea and to the hearts of every reader.
