As for Cao Cao, there has always been a saying that "a capable minister can govern the world and a treacherous man in troubled times".

The so-called "adulterer" is similar to what we usually call "lean", which means "a tough and ambitious person with both wisdom and courage". It can be seen from this that if you want to be a lean man, you must have three conditions-< P > First, you must be capable. Those who can mess up the world are "heroes", and those who can gallop freely are "fierce", that is to say, they must be able to do things themselves, and they must have talents in latitude and longitude and strategic planning.

Let's take a look at Cao Cao. From his early years, a lone hero pulled up a team and forced Dong Zhuo to destroy Yuan Shao, kill Yuan Shu, capture Lu Bu, pacify the west, fight Sun Liu and levy Wu Huan, and from scratch, he became the largest force in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty. This is called being capable.

second, you should be bad enough. If we say that we have the ability to be full of positive energy, we call such people heroes. Obviously, being fierce is not something that a kind-hearted person can do.

Look at Cao Cao again. There are a lot of defects and slots. When I was in exile, I killed my old friends and family in order to protect myself, and I kept saying, "I would rather teach me to be negative to the world than to teach the world to be negative to me";

In the battle against Yuan Shao, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he did not hesitate to "borrow his head" from the grain and grass officials, so as to boost morale by slandering others for embezzling grain and grass. There are also misdeeds such as killing people in dreams, stealing wives and concubines, suspicion and so on.

from these, Cao Cao can be regarded as the number one person who will do whatever it takes to get what he wants, even if he is ruthless.

thirdly, you should be tactful. Talk to people and talk nonsense, which can take the initiative to stand firm.

Look at Cao Cao. Facing the captured Lyu3 bu4 in the White Gate Tower, he showed no mercy and spared no talent. With a wave of his hand, he beheaded this great warrior. When it came to the battle of Guandu, I heard that Xu You came to visit in the middle of the night and ran out to meet him barefoot, showing frankness and frankness. It can be said that it is a combination of multiple personalities.

Look, Cao Cao never fails to meet these three requirements, and it is only natural to be called "lean".
