Cao Cao killed Lv Boshe-making mistakes is making mistakes.
Since it was "manslaughter", there was some misunderstanding in the middle. What is that? First of all, the background of the story is that Cao Cao escaped with the help of Chen Guan and just escaped to the border of Lv Boshe. Lv Boshe happened to be a friend of Cao Cao's father, so Lv Boshe kindly took Cao Cao in and planned to drink good wine and eat good food. So Lv Boshe ordered his family to kill a pig to make snacks for Cao Cao and go out to buy good wine. This is a bad thing. Cao Cao is really a suspicious person, so. When Cao Cao heard the sound of sharpening the knife, he thought that Lv Boshe had come to kill himself, so Cao Cao killed all Lv Boshe's family with a knife in advance. When Lv Boshe came back from buying good wine, he saw such a scene, so Cao Cao killed Lv Boshe in a hurry.
Of course, the above story was brought to us by The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. We all know that romance is different from real history, so we don't know what real history is like. Some materials, Shu Wei, record that Cao Cao killed his family because Lv Boshe's son stole Cao Cao's weapons. There are other materials such as Shi Yu and Miscellaneous Notes, which are the same as those recorded in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. However, in the authoritative reflection, there is no such statement, that is to say, Cao Cao's manslaughter of Lv Boshe may be fictional.
As we all know, in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is a very suspicious person. In Cao Cao's eyes, everyone is unfaithful and everyone will harm him. Cao Cao will not trust others easily. It is precisely because of this that Cao Cao hates most: "I would rather teach me to be negative to the world than to teach the world to be negative to me." . "Cao Cao Killed Lv Boshe-Wrong is Wrong" is about Cao Cao's manslaughter of Lv Boshe because of suspicion. What's the story?
At that time, it was Cao Cao who fled to the border of Lv Boshe. Because Lv Boshe is the sworn brother of Cao Cao's father, Lv Boshe will be very happy and hope to be entertained with wine and food. It was this idea that killed Lv Boshe's family. Because Lv Boshe's family needs to kill chickens to make snacks for Cao Cao, they need to sharpen their knives. When Cao Cao heard the sound of sharpening a knife in the middle of the night, he thought that Lv Boshe's family wanted to kill themselves, so he took a knife and killed Lv Boshe's family. Moreover, in an emergency, Cao Cao also killed Lv Boshe. Later, when Cao Cao saw pigs and chickens in the kitchen, he realized that he had killed the wrong person. But Chen Guan, a colleague, said the same thing, but Cao Cao felt that he had killed the wrong person and had no remorse. But I also blurted out: "I would rather teach me to be negative about the world than teach the world to be negative about me."
These are all mentioned in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but this is not necessarily the case in real historical materials. There is no such statement in the reflection. Anyway, "Cao Cao's two-part allegorical saying of killing Lv Boshe-making a mistake is making a mistake" has been passed down to now, which is a metaphor for those who seriously doubt it.
The truth of Cao Cao's killing of the Lv Boshe family.
Cao Cao, a generation of treacherous men, has a symbolic saying,' I'd rather teach me to fail the world than the world to fail me.' . This sentence appeared in the fourth time of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, when Cao Cao slaughtered a family of nine in Lv Boshe. Faced with the condemnation of benefactor Chen Gong, Cao Cao made such an answer. Lv Boshe, a good friend of Cao Song, Cao Cao's father, warmly entertained the troubled junior Cao Cao, but was killed. The historical truth is intriguing.
According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao, who was still a small adulterer at that time, was dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo, a big adulterer who monopolized power. He tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo and fled in a hurry. In the face of Dong Zhuo Group's nationwide wanted, Cao Cao was once arrested in despair, thanks to the rescue of Chen Gong. Cao Cao and Chen Gong fled together, hungry and thirsty. Fortunately, Lv Boshe, a good friend of Cao Cao's father, received them warmly. The Lv Boshe family are sharpening their knives, ready to kill pigs and sheep and entertain the distinguished guest Cao Cao. However, suspicious Cao suspected that the Lv Boshe family wanted to kill them and decided to kill all the men, women and children in Lv Boshe. On the way to escape, Cao Cao met Lv Boshe who bought wine. In order to kill him, he also killed Lv Boshe.
In this story, there is no historical basis except Chen Gong's appearance here, but Cao Cao's killing of the Lv Boshe family has a historical basis, not a fictional story of Luo Guanzhong. This is not based on Chen Shou's Three Kingdoms. Chen Shou wrote a biography of Cao Cao, which seems to be intentionally concealed. He didn't mention the murder of Cao Cao, but only wrote' Cao Cao changed his name from time to time and went east'. But Chen Shou didn't write that Cao Cao killed the Lv Boshe family, but others wrote a lot. There are three kinds of materials cited in Pei Songzhi's annotation Wudi Collection.
Wang Shen wrote in Shu Wei: "Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo will eventually be defeated and flee." . I have ridden my old friend Gao Lv Boshe several times; When Lv Boshe was away, his son and guests robbed Cao Cao, took horses and things, and Cao Cao killed several people with a knife. "
Guo Shouyu said,' Cao Cao is going. When traveling in Lv Boshe, all five children were here to prepare for the ceremony. Cao Cao betrayed Dong Zhuo's life and suspected that he had selfishness. He killed eight people with his sword overnight. "
Sun Sheng's Miscellaneous Notes says, "Fuck the sound of eating utensils and kill them at night. Then he said sadly,' I'd rather be negative than negative. Go ahead.
The above three records have different positions. The first one said that Cao Cao's murder was revenge murder after being robbed. In the latter two statements, Cao Cao is suspicious and kills people without blinking an eye, which is simply cruel. In particular, Sun Sheng's eight words' Better die than die' can be used as a summary of Cao Cao's principle of doing things all his life.
Cao Cao is a brilliant man with unparalleled talent. The comprehensiveness of his talents is not only the first person in the Three Kingdoms period, but also a handful in the whole history of China. But we can't cover up his cruelty and sin just because we admire his talent and achievements. Cao Cao's cruelty is almost unparalleled. It's not surprising that he killed the Lv Boshe family. Dong Zhuo, who is famous for his cruelty, also knows that he cherishes highly respected talents, treats Cai Yong well, and only disparages Kong Rong. Kong Rong, Hua Tuo and Cui Yan killed by Cao Cao were all outstanding figures with high moral character. Cao Cao fought against Tao Qian and Lu Bu many times, killing innocent people in Xuzhou. Cao Cao's daughter-in-law, Cui Furen, was killed by him because she wore a beautiful dress, and his concubine was killed because she was distressed that he didn't wake him up. In order to consolidate his power, Cao Cao slaughtered Dong Guifei, Empress Fu and their children, and married his three daughters to Emperor Han Xian. Countless loyal ministers and righteous men loyal to the Han Dynasty were killed by Cao Cao. Later generations often cover up and downplay Cao Cao's brutal crimes, because he worships Cao Cao's talents and achievements, because Cao Cao is the winner, and he has the opportunity to defend himself. Moreover, some of Cao Cao's works have a high realm, unlike the thoughts of a cruel traitor. However, it is unfair and objective for some snobbish scholars in later generations to beautify Cao Cao as a bodhisattva to save the world.
