what is he talking about? He said, "This is also an outstanding feature of Meng De.".
-he said that even so, this is where Cao Cao is different from ordinary people and surpasses us! He said why? He said that if it were someone else, it would be better for everyone to be sorry for me than for me. He said that other people would say the same thing, but what about it? In fact, what they did was Cao Cao's deeds, and only Cao Cao said this frankly. Then Mao Pi thinks that Cao Cao is treacherous, but there is honesty in treachery. He at least dares to say treacherous words openly. He is a real villain, not a hypocrite. So he said that this is where Cao Cao surpassed others, because there are too many hypocrites in this world.
In the new edition of The Three Kingdoms, when Lu Bu came to defect, Liu Bei said, "I would rather the whole world failed me than the whole world"; Scholars say that this is an important stroke to shape Liu Bei into a "lean man". Because Cao Cao said, "I would rather lose the world than the world lose me" is a true word; And Liu Bei's saying that "I would rather be betrayed by everyone in the world than by me" is a lie, a hypocrite's lie.
I'd rather the whole world failed me than the whole world-that is to say, the whole world can be sorry for you, but you must never be sorry for others. Is this possible? If so, it is unfair, and this person is either extraordinary or hypocritical.
Cao Cao is very wise to tell the truth, because he knows very well that the most powerful weapon in an era when everyone tells lies is the truth. Because people tell lies, if you tell the truth, people will be helpless, his play will not go on, the peep show will be exposed, the trick will not be played, and he will have to stop talking.
Moreover, the famous saying "I'd rather lose the world than the world lose me" was added to Cao Cao in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not his original words.
The records in the history books of "Lv Boshe Incident" are contradictory. Wei Shu says that Lv Boshe is an old friend of Cao Cao. When Cao Cao fled from Dong Zhuo, he rode with several people to find Lv Boshe. It happened that Lv Boshe was not there. As a result, Lv Boshe's son and guests conspired to rob Cao Cao and his party. As a result, Cao Cao countered and killed several people. This is self-defense, and there is nothing unkind.
Shi Yu said that although Lv Boshe went out, his five sons were very polite and treated them as guests and hosts, but Cao Cao was suspicious because the Lu family was too kind to people, so he took a sword and left after killing eight people that night.
In Sun Sheng's Miscellaneous Notes, Cao Cao heard a strange sound (the original is the sound of food utensils, not necessarily the sound of knives), so he was full of suspicion and killed people all night. Before leaving, he left a sad sentence: "I'd rather be negative than negative!"
Cao Cao is also very sad. Forget it. I would rather let others down than others. Let's take a look at this context. Cao Cao said that this statement was a kind of self-comfort and self-comfort, so he reluctantly defended his wrong behavior. But in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he became confident, and added the word "the world" in front of "I would rather be negative than negative", which is very different. What Cao Cao said at that time was only practical. Although I was wrong, I killed others by mistake. I am sorry. I have no choice now. I have no choice but to be sorry for others rather than let them. It should be said that he still kept some goodwill in it, but in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he became confident and said, I am sorry for everyone, and I can't be sorry for everyone. That is a big traitor.
Therefore, even a saint would not dress up like a hypocrite in such an environment.
Then, a villain is a villain, and an adulterer is an adulterer. To paraphrase a passage in The New Three Kingdoms: "Since ancient times, a big traitor is like loyalty, a big fake is like truth, loyalty and treachery are not apparent from the surface. Maybe you were wrong about me, Cao Cao, and now you are wrong, but I'm still me. I'm never afraid of others being wrong about me ... "
I'm fearless and regretless. If I don't go to hell, who will? Go your own way and let others talk. Only God can judge me.
