Death of Zhao_: Did he die of depression after being defeated by Cao Zhen, the clan member of Cao Wei? The following written materials are collected and compiled by Xiaoyi Search for everyone. Let’s take a quick look at them!

In Zhao_'s brilliant life, there was an unknown ending. After losing the battle, he was demoted and died of depression. The historical record is as follows: In 223, he was appointed as the Chinese Guard, the general of southern China, and was named Hou Ting of Yongchang. In 225, he and Zhuge Liang were stationed in Hanzhong. After that, he rejected Cao Zhen and Deng Zhi, lost to Qingying, was demoted to the general of Zhenjun, and returned to Hanzhong, where he died of illness. Compared with Zhao Yun, the god of the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Zhen, who defeated him, is not so famous, and not many people like him. Especially in the new version of the TV series Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhen is portrayed as a loser who is overjoyed, narrow-minded, and defeated repeatedly! It’s more effective than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! Such people naturally have no weight in the hearts of the audience, and they are easily forgotten.

Naturally, no matter how you write about Cao Zhen, it is the author's artistic creation, and Cao Zhen, who has been dead for more than 1,000 years, cannot climb out of the coffin to protest. However, readers need to know the real history, so we can find the answer in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is Cao Cao's godson, and his father has a good relationship with Cao Cao. After Cao Cao was killed by Yuan Shu in order to protect Cao Cao, he sympathized with Cao Zhen, who lost his father when he was young, and regarded Cao Zhen as his own son and let him live with Cao Pi. One time, Cao Zhen was hunting and was chased by a tiger. Cao Zhen turned around and shot the tiger, and the tiger fell. Cao Cao admired Cao Zhen's bravery. He asked him to lead the tiger and leopard cavalry, conquered Lingqiu and won, and was named Lingshou Houting.

In 215, Liu Bei sent his generals to participate in the next debate. Cao Zhen led his troops to defeat Liu Bei's generals and was promoted to a key general. Later, Cao Zhen followed the army back to Chang'an and became the leader of China. In 219, Xia, the governor of Hanzhong, was killed. Cao Cao was very worried. He also ordered Cao Zhen to be the general of Shu and Huang Xu to be the prefect. , broke Liu Bei's troops in Yangping. Later, Cao Cao personally went to Hanzhong, withdrew all his troops, and asked Cao Zhen to go to Wudu to meet Cao Hong and others. In 220, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and appointed Cao Zhen as General Zhenxi. He asked for leave from the governor Yong and Liangzhou, recorded his merits and demerits, and entered Fengdong Township. Zhang Jin rebelled in Jiuquan, and Cao Zhen sent general Fei Yao to conquer and win, killing Zhang Jin.

In 222, Cao Zhen returned to Luoyang and was appointed general of the upper-level army. He was responsible for all Chinese and foreign military affairs and was on vacation at the time. Later, Cao Zhen and Xiahou Shang conquered Sun Quan, attacked Niuzhutun, won the victory, and became generals of the Chinese army, making things more complicated. In 226, Cao Pi became seriously ill and recruited Cao Zhen, Chen Qun, Sima Yi and others. After Wei Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Cao Zhen promoted Shao to General Hou Ling. In 228, Zhuge Liang of Shu came out of Qishan, and Nan'an, Tianshui, and Anding rebelled against Zhuge Liang. Cao Rui and Cao Zhendu were sent to D city, where they defeated Shu generals Zhao_ and Deng Zhi. A stable citizen, Yang Tiao, coerced local officials to occupy Yuezhi City, and Cao Zhen marched to surround it. When Yang Tiao heard that General Cao Zhen had come in person, he tied himself up. Three rebellious counties were pacified. Cao Zhen knew that Zhuge Liang would attack from Chencang next time, so he sent generals such as Zhao Hao and Wang Sheng to guard Chencang and build the city.

In 229, Zhuge Liang really surrounded Chencang, but because Wei was prepared, he could not conquer it. Cao Zhen enlarged the city because of its advantages, and there were 2,900 households in front of the city. In 230, Cao Zhen went to Luoyang to meet the emperor, was promoted to Fu, and gave a sword to the temple. Cao Zhen proposed to conquer Shu, and Cao Rui agreed. In August of the same year, Cao Zhen raised troops from Chang'an and marched south from Ziwu Road. Sima Yi went up the Han River to attack Nanzheng. Some soldiers and horses from all walks of life walked on Xiegu Road, and some entered Wuwei to catch up with more than 30 days of heavy rain. Some of the plank roads were cut off, so they withdrew their troops and returned. Cao Zhen died of illness soon after returning to Luoyang. Judging from the above historical data, Cao Zhen is naturally not a useless general in the TV series and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but a respectable military commander. Unfortunately, after his death, his sons failed to live up to people's expectations, and in the end the Sima family became an outsider!
