Tso Gong's original words were "Better to die than die", not "Better to die than die", which is a qualitative difference. Because Cao Cao couldn't undo the killing of the Lv Boshe family, he said this sentence, which was aimed at this one thing, not everything. Zuo Gong is actually a very affectionate person. He loves talents, admires and loves Guan Yu, so he wants to influence him to be so kind to him. He let Guan Yu go because he knew that Guan Yu was a loyal man, and he would keep his kindness in mind and repay him later. It can be seen that Cao Gong knows that people are good at their duties.
