As a descendant of Confucius, Kong Rong may be treated politely by the emperor, and their family can shine, but unfortunately, he lives in troubled times, and he is worthless. He hated Cao Cao very much for holding the emperor hostage to order the princes. He unintentionally mocked Cao Cao. The petty Cao Cao actually wiped out his entire family. When Cao Cao's army came to his house to punish them. A casual remark made by the 7-year-old daughter has been passed down and has become a famous saying through the ages.

Kong Rong has always disliked Cao Cao. He wanted to restore the rule of the Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao's Han Dynasty was just a tool. He regarded Emperor Xian of Han as a toy. Kong Rong and Cao Cao maintained a superficial relationship at first. Cao Cao was very powerful at that time. Behind Kong Rong stood the entire Xuzhou literati group, and the two men were equal in political status.

But in a war, weapons are more useful than reading. Although Kong Rong had a large group of scholars standing behind him, these people had no actual power and were just a paper tiger group. Soon after, Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu and Liu Bei and gained more territory, and the size of his army further expanded, becoming the second huge force in the north. At this time, Kong Rong discovered that the power in the hands of ruthless ministers was rapidly expanding.

As he gradually abandoned himself, he had no way to compete with others for territory, so at this time he reluctantly maintained a relationship with Cao Cao. The conflict between Cao Cao and Kong Rong further intensified. It started from the Battle of Guandu. After Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao, he betrothed Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law to Cao Pi. At this time, Kong Rong said one more thing, King Wu defeated Zhou and gave Zhou Gong Daji. Cao Cao believed that he was being described and that he was framed for wanting to rebel. His little daughter said under the butcher's knife that there would be no eggs left under the overturned nest.
