Before he died, Cao Cao said, "Death is not terrible. Death is a cool summer night, and people can sleep carefree. The world misread me yesterday, misread Cao Cao today, and maybe tomorrow, but I am still me. I am never afraid that others will misunderstand me. "
What contribution did Cao Cao make? Cao Cao is a great military master who has made great contributions to China's military thought. Cao Cao's thoughts of seeking centralization, combining ceremony with punishment, choosing talents and not believing in fate, cultivating fields and raising troops to suppress punishment, and choosing talents and not believing in fate, as well as many other economic thoughts, such as cultivating fields and raising troops, restraining mergers without giving them to the weak people, trying to get rid of social bad habits, learning from Wang Zhidao and studying literature, are the inheritance and development of China's political, economic, educational and cultural thoughts.

Strictly speaking, although Cao Cao held the Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty hostage, he still maintained the most basic ceremony of monarch and minister. In his later years, many ministers advised Cao Cao to be emperor. However, Cao Cao said a meaningful sentence: If my fate lies with me, I will be Zhou Wenwang. Ji Chang and Zhou Wenwang were the biggest governors of Shang Dynasty. After his death, his son Zhou Wuji replaced the Shang Dynasty and established the Great Zhou Tianxia.
History is always strikingly similar. After Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi ascended the throne in Wang Wei. Soon, he forced Emperor Xian of Han to abdicate and established the State of Wei. According to the orthodox view of history, it was Wei who ended the 400-year dynasty.
Why can Cao inherit Cao Cao's mantle and struggle on his ideal road all his life, and go further and further?
Chen Han's loyalty
The Han dynasty is about to perish, the princes are divided, and there are many thieves. Cao Cao, 37, stayed in Yanzhou. In troubled times, it is not easy to protect yourself. Cao Cao fought against Fang Qiu, conquered the Yellow Scarf Army, defeated the Black Mountain Thief and repelled the Southern Xiongnu.
It is said that Emperor Xiandi of Han Dynasty escaped from Chang 'an and lived in Luoyang, naked and hungry. Cao Cao, 465,438+0 years old, galloped on the first starry night, and Yuan Shao scoffed and raised eyebrows.
