Cao Cao has always been the image of a traitor in people's minds, especially his sentence "I would rather betray the world than teach the world to betray me" is even more famous. In fact, this famous saying about Cao Cao is There are two versions: one is that Cao Cao was robbed at his old friend's house and Cao Cao defended himself; the other is that there is an unfounded suspicion that his old friend's family wanted to kill him. The story happened in the early years of Cao Cao, when Dong Zhuo was under the dictatorship. Cao Cao planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo by offering him a knife to Dong Zhuo. Unexpectedly, he was discovered. Cao Cao had to flee on horseback. On the way to escape, he met his old friend Lu Boxe. Later, he went to Lu Boxe's home. Killed Lu Boshe's family.

Version 1: Cao Cao defended himself after being robbed of property from behind in his old friend's home. When Cao Cao escaped, he used good horses and took a lot of money with him. When he ran to Chenggao, he suddenly thought that his good friend Lu Boshe was from Chenggao. When he arrived at his old friend's territory, he had to visit him. So, Cao Cao came to Lü Boxe's home. Unfortunately, Lü Boxe himself was not at home. Lü Boxe's son and several young people were at home. Cao Cao originally wanted to wait at Lu Boxe's house for a while, but he didn't expect that Lu Boxe's son and his son's friends were eyeing Cao Cao's property. Cao Cao rose up to resist. These young men were no match for Cao Cao, so Cao Cao killed them all at once.

Version 2: Cao Cao suspected that he killed the wrong person. Cao Cao met Lu Boxe on the road. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. Lu Boxe warmly invited Cao Cao to sit at home. When we arrived at Lu Boxe's house, it was time for dinner, and Lu Boxe proposed to buy wine. Cao Cao was sitting in the living room. Suddenly Cao Cao heard Lu Boshe's family say: "Catch him and kill him." ?Cao Cao mistakenly thought that he was going to kill him, so he picked up his sword, rushed in and killed Lu Boshe's family first. After the killing, Lu Boshe found a pig tied up in the kitchen. Lu Boshe's family should say it was a pig killing. Cao Cao knew that he had made a mistake in killing him, and was afraid that Lu Boshe would sue the government, so he waited for Lu Boshe halfway and killed Lu Boshe as well.

The above two versions are very widely circulated. I personally think that Cao Cao is already a refugee. It is impossible for him to do something like killing someone to attract the attention of the government. Therefore, I believe the first version more. .
