For Cao Cao, there are three things wrong in his life, and they are all wet. The first thing is to let Liu Bei go. When Liu Bei was working under Cao Cao, Cao Cao said that Liu Bei was a hero in the world. Later, when he slipped away, Cao Cao gave him a soldier to fight Yuan Shu. At that time, it was meaningless to fight Yuan Shudou. Even if he goes to war, Liu Bei should not be allowed to go.
As early as when the governors from all walks of life jointly crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao's political ideal was different from that of Liu Bei, who worked as an errand boy under Gongsun Zan. Later, I saw that Gongsun Zan could not achieve great things, so I went to Xuzhou. Knowing that Liu Bei would become an enemy in the future, Cao Cao risked being attacked by Yuan Shao, beat Liu Bei and captured Guan Yu alive. It can be seen that Cao Cao did not neglect Liu Bei, but neglected, and negligence was fatal.
Cao Cao's second mistake was Battle of Red Cliffs's inadequate preparation. When he captured Jingzhou, he should have had a good rest for a while and let Liu Bei and Sun Quan learn from each other. Moreover, Cao Cao's soldiers are all from the north, and there is a plague epidemic in Jingzhou. But Cao Cao wants to be a big fat man, win Jiangdong in one fell swoop and complete the great cause of world reunification. Insufficient preparation really suffered a big loss.
Battle of Red Cliffs was a turning point in Cao Cao's life. He has a good card, but unfortunately he broke it. No wonder he triumphed all the way, annexed many princes, surrendered Wu Huan, and made him a little proud. He hastily decided to give Liu Bei and Sun Quan a chance, but the defeat of Chibi was a shame for Cao Cao, but he was open-minded by nature and could still see through the world.
The only thing that Cao Cao couldn't let go was another mistake he made, that is, when he conquered Zhang Xiu in his early years, Zhang Xiu had surrendered, but Cao Cao took a fancy to his aunt and forced him to take care of his bedroom. As a result, when Cao Cao was doing good deeds in the middle of the night, Zhang Xiu raided Cao Cao's camp. Dian Wei died, Cao died and Cao Ang died.
Cao Ang is the eldest son of Cao Cao. In the chaos, he gave his horse to his father, but he died. Cao Cao has been training Cao Ang as a future successor. Unfortunately, he killed his son because of his own selfish desires. Although Cao Cao had many sons, Cao Ang was the eldest. At the same time, Cao Ang was satisfied with his literary skills, but he was killed by himself.
Cao Ang's death is something that Cao Cao can't get over all his life. Although Cao Ang was born to Liu, his biological mother died young and was brought up. Ding Furen has always regarded Cao Ang as his own. After Cao Ang's death, Mrs. Ding was cold-hearted and often found Cao Cao unlucky. Later, the two divorced, and Cao Cao went to maintain this relationship, but Ding Furen didn't give him a chance.
Cao Cao was sighing before he died. In the underworld, if Cao Ang asks about his mother, what should I say? It can be seen that Cao Cao hates his son Ding Furen, so his territory, city and fame are not as good as his wife and children. Although Cao Cao is fierce, he is also an ordinary man.
