At that time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said to Cao Cao, "If you can help me, I will treat you kindly; otherwise, I will be kind to you." It means that if you can help me, then I hope you will treat me kindly; otherwise , I hope you abandon me.

As the last emperor of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of Han, he witnessed Dong Zhuo's power, witnessed Guo Si's rudeness, and experienced the tyranny of Cao Cao and his son. He was restrained in everything and manipulated everywhere. Emperor Xian of Han was Cao Cao's puppet emperor. But this does not mean that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was useless, weak, and unlearned. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had many misfortunes since he was a child, but he was talented and smart since he was a child, and he was generous and decent in dealing with things. He was an emperor who understood the overall situation, understood the general situation, and cared about the people. However, the situation at that time prevented him from displaying his talents.

Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was able to escape during the chaos in the court, but was threatened by Cao Cao who came later. Cao Cao took Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to move the capital to Xuchang. At this point, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was closely watched by Cao Cao. Wherever he went, what he did, who he met, and what he said to whom, there would be people watching and following him. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was under house arrest, was very unwilling and prepared to find someone to secretly assassinate Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao discovered that Cao Cao directly killed the person who wanted to kill him and also killed the pregnant Dong Guiren to frighten Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Afterwards, Cao Cao went to the palace and wanted to blame Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty for his fault. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty said those words in a rage, either you treat me well or you abandon me. When Cao Cao heard this, he was frightened and kowtowed to apologize. Because at that time, although Cao Cao had a large number of subordinates, many of the people loyal to him were from the Han Dynasty. If he offended Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, he would lose more than half of his country and people. From then on, Cao Cao never disrespected Emperor Xian of Han again.
