Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty can be said to be Cao Cao's puppet from beginning to end, but he said something that made Cao Cao uneasy, that is, if you can help me, I will treat you well. But if you don't really want to help, but have other ambitions, then I would rather you abandon me now.

This sentence is equivalent to stating a position to Cao Cao, that is, I have seen through your method of coercing the emperor to order the princes, and you are ambitious to ascend the throne. of. Although I have no ability to bring you down now, my life is still in my own hands. If I am gone, you will have no chance to threaten the world and will be attacked by the world.

So Cao Cao later treated Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and did not force him as much as before, and after this incident happened, it also planted an untieable knot in Cao Cao's heart, because he also knew Although he is now a Han official, he is actually a Han traitor. And in the minds of the people in the world, he, Cao Cao, is the image of a traitor who steals the fruits of the Han Dynasty. On the surface, he is full of benevolence and righteousness, but he does the kind of despised things.

The reason why Cao Cao did not proclaim himself emperor in his life is somewhat related to the words of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty. He wanted to prove to the world that he was not a person who wanted to be emperor. On the contrary, I think Cao Cao was a great hero who seized the opportunity in this troubled world and developed and strengthened himself through his own efforts. His purpose is actually very simple. He just wants to end this troubled times, let people live a good life, and no longer experience the pain of war, and this cannot be achieved by relying on Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.
