Cao Cao said: "A hero has ambition, a good plan in his belly, an opportunity to hide the universe, and an ambition to breathe heaven and earth."

This story happened after Cao Cao strangled Lu Bu in Baimenlou and Liu returned to Xuchang. After Liu Bei called himself Wang Jing of Zhongshan, his great-grandson Xiaojing Emperor Xian Di and Liu Bei became relatives, calling Liu Bei an uncle. Xian Di felt Cao Cao's disloyalty at this time, so he wrote a letter to Dong Cheng to get rid of Cao Cao. Dong Cheng secretly joined forces with Liu Bei and other ministers to plot to get rid of Cao Cao.

The adviser advised Cao Cao to kill Liu Bei as soon as possible, lest Liu Bei become more powerful in the future. Cao Cao said, "It is really within my control. What am I afraid of? " In fact, there are still some concerns. Liu Bei's benevolence and righteousness are well known all over the world, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are both generals of tigers and wolves, so Cao Cao tempted Liu Bei and the wonderful scene above appeared.

The story "Boiling Wine on Heroes" did not appear in the official history, but was adapted by Luo Guanzhong, the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, according to the relevant records of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu and Biography of the ancients. Some historians believe that the "On Heroes" incident is an integral part of the Zhao incident. In essence, it is the pre-war activities of various political forces before the battle of Guandu.
