Cao Cao was from the Three Kingdoms period. Although this man was very ambitious and had many bad habits, he was among the troops he commanded. Left a reputation for integrity. Once, Cao Cao personally led the army to fight. On the way to the march, I saw that the wheat on the roadside was ripe. It turned out that the people fled outside because of fear of the soldiers and did not dare to come back to harvest wheat. Cao Cao sent people from door to door to tell the villagers and officials guarding the borders: "According to the emperor's decree, I sent troops to attack the rebellious thieves and eliminate harm for the people. Now it is the wheat fields. Anyone who tramples on the wheat fields will be beheaded." Show it to the public and do what you say. Folks, please don't be afraid." The common people didn't believe it at first and still hid in the dark to observe the actions of the army led by Cao Cao.

The officers and soldiers who passed by the wheat field dismounted and held the wheat stalks with their hands, and carefully waded through the wheat field. One after another, they passed each other through the wheat field, and no one dared to trample on the wheat. When the common people saw it, all of them praised him happily. They looked at the backs of the officers and soldiers and knelt on the ground to thank them. Cao Cao was riding his horse and walking. Suddenly, a bird screamed and flew up in the field. Cao Cao's horse was frightened and jumped into the wheat field, trampling a piece of wheat field. Cao Cao immediately called the accompanying officials to punish him for trampling on the wheat fields. The official said: "How can you punish the prime minister?" Cao Cao said: "I don't abide by what I personally said. Who else will obey it willingly? How can a person who doesn't keep his word command thousands of people? Where are the soldiers?" Then he took out the sword from his waist and wanted to kill himself. Everyone stopped him quickly. At this time, Minister Guo Jia stepped forward and said: "The ancient book "Spring and Autumn" says that the law is not imposed on the respected. The prime minister is commanding a large army and has a heavy responsibility, how can he commit suicide?" Cao Cao thought for a long time before saying: " Since there is a saying in the ancient book "Spring and Autumn" that "the law should not be imposed on respect", and I shoulder the important task entrusted to me by the emperor, I will avoid death for the time being. But I can't keep my word, and I should do it if I make a mistake. I will be punished." So Cao Cao cut off his hair with his sword and threw it on the ground, saying, "Then I will cut off the hair and replace it with my head." Cao Cao then sent a message to the three armies: "The prime minister trampled on the wheat field and should have been beheaded in public. , Now cut off your hair and find a replacement.” People nowadays think that cutting their hair is a normal thing.
