was in troubled times in the Han Dynasty, and heroes in the world rose side by side, and wars continued year after year. As the saying goes, "The times make heroes." This heaven makes it so. There is no doubt that Cao Cao was born in such an environment, and he shouldered a historical mission.
Cao Cao in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, from the moment he appeared, was due to a sentence by Xu Shao. There is another hard-to-prove saying, "I would rather teach me to be negative than negative". At this point, the title of a generation of adulterers seems to have become a final conclusion.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you are a tough guy or a lean guy. Cao Cao is Cao Cao, and his value can't be replaced by anyone in the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao fought in the four fields all his life. He once cut the yellow turban insurrectionary, begged Dong Zhuo, destroyed Yuan Shu, collected Zhang Xiu, took Jingzhou in the south, conquered Yuan Shao in the north, broke Lu Bu in the east and marched to Zhang Lu in the west. And put down the three counties Wuwan and Han Sui, Ma Chao chaos, can be described as brilliant exploits. It's a pity that the battle of Chibi failed to succeed, otherwise it would really be a hegemony for generations to come. Such an all-powerful figure in the Three Kingdoms, even after two thousand years, is really shocking to us! His strategy, his thoughts, his personality, his courage, his literary talent, * * * isomorphic became the extraordinary personal charm of this peerless hero.
As early as when Ten Regular Servants were authoritarian and He Jin tried to punish eunuchs, the young Cao Cao predicted that this would be a disaster. He did not agree with He Jin's decision, thinking that if he wanted to be punished, he should get rid of Yuan evil, but it was enough to pay a jailer! "This kind of words is by no means the average person can say. It comes from Cao Cao's keen insight and superhuman verve. As a result, blades did not listen to dissuasion, and soon he was killed, and Cao Cao's prediction came true.
then dong Zhuo went to Beijing, and he acted recklessly, dissolutely and violently, and most of them were dissatisfied with him. However, Dong Zhuo is in power, and most people dare to be angry but dare not speak. Those who are afraid of death need not mention it, but other scholars who are loyal to the son of heaven only know how to use their heads to try the knife for the thief. At that time, only Cao Cao dared to take the lead in dealing with Dong Zhuo. Relatively speaking, Yuan Shao is a hero. After all, he has the courage to confront Dong Zhuo head-on, but this courage is at best a head-on behavior. If Yuan Shaogu didn't have the illustrious background of the Four Kingdoms, I'm afraid he would have died under Dong Zhuo. Cao Cao chose to assassinate at that time. This may not be a wise move, but for Cao Cao, who is fledgling, it is the only thing he can do.
Dong Zhuo is a tough character. In order to get close to him, Cao Cao committed himself to his account and even pandered to Dong Zhuo. Although he was spurned by some people who didn't know his hometown, he finally succeeded: Cao Cao gained Dong Zhuo's trust, which created conditions for his assassination. Later, Cao Cao failed to assassinate him, but he had a brainwave and turned to offer a knife to Dong Zhuo, thus saving the day, which was a brilliant move. After Cao Cao, he passed death many times, but he was able to resolve the crisis again and again, which was inseparable from his extraordinary courage and adaptability.
After the failure of stabbing Dong, Cao Cao received a thorough investigation. At this time, he began to have the idea of enlisting the rebel army to beg Dong, but unfortunately, it was obtained by the government. It is also Cao Cao's fate that he should not die. When he met Chen Gong, a county magistrate who appreciated him, he abandoned his official position and fled with him. Legend has it that Cao Cao stayed with an old friend, Zhuang, and heard the voice of his master's family killing pigs and sharpening knives at night. He suspected that he would harm himself, so he killed more than ten people indiscriminately. This is the highlight of Cao Cao's suspicious and treacherous character. But we should also see that paranoia is a kind of vigilance of Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao was young and ambitious. How could he risk dying in vain at the hands of the villagers? In Cao Cao's view, compared with his inner ambition of Lingyun, the lives of more than a dozen people are naturally insignificant. Cao Cao wants to achieve something great. Since ancient times, people who have achieved great things are most afraid to stay in the section. Of course, Cao Cao knew this in his heart, so he issued the famous saying that shocked the ages: "I would rather teach me to be negative to the world, and I will not teach the world to be negative to me." A word scared away Chen Gong, a colleague. This is understandable: as a bully, Cao Cao's mood is naturally beyond the dreams of a scholar like Chen Gong.
Cao Cao's words were not taken for granted when he rose. His words and deeds were consistent from beginning to end. It can also be regarded as the concrete practice of this idea that he killed the grain inspector to stabilize the army's morale because of the poor military food. With the emphasis on individual rights and equality of all people becoming the mainstream of society today, it seems that collective achievements won at the expense of individuals should not be advocated. But it should be said that it is understandable for Cao Cao to take extraordinary measures under extraordinary circumstances: after all, as a decision maker, he has reason to make a decision to sacrifice individuals without allowing too much thinking.
when it comes to the Three Kingdoms, we can't help talking about strategy; Speaking of strategy, Cao Cao is one of the best among them. Throughout his life, in all the major battles, except the battle of Chibi, there was almost no overall failure. The initial strength is weak and fashionable, and it can be said to be invincible after the later strength. Cao Cao can be called the ever-victorious general in the Three Kingdoms. His success lies in his resourcefulness. For example, in the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao made a surprise attack on Wu Chao with the strength of the whole army, and burned Yuan Shaojun's grain and grass, so taking the weak as the strong became a famous battle in the history of China. Another example is that when attacking the Yuan brothers, Cao Cao took advantage of the internal discord of the enemy and adopted the method of wooing one side and dividing them one by one to win again. Later, Han Sui was wiped out to kill Ma Chao, all of which were excellent strategies. In addition, the correct estimation of the strategic situation can be said to be the most valuable place for Cao Cao. Just say that in the battle of Guandu, the information of Yuan Shao's commander Xu You played a vital role. But imagine a different person, facing the advice of the senior enemy generals who came to defect, how many can be boldly adopted? From this point of view, Cao Gong is very human.
Throughout the ages, whether it is political or economic competition, in the final analysis, it is the competition for talents. Cao Cao paid second to none attention to talents in the whole Three Kingdoms, and he was still good at winning people's hearts. Cao Cao has recruited a large number of outstanding people since he got home together. And it is a recommendation, one after another. Needless to say, Cao Cao and Xiahou also took Li Dian, Yu Jin, Le Jin, Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who later became Cao Ying's Iliad. Especially when recruiting talents in Yanzhou, Xun Yu and Xun You from Yingchuan came to vote and recommended Cheng Yu to Cao Cao, Guo Jia from Cheng Yu, Ye?Liu from Guo Jia, Man Chong and Lv Qian from Ye?Liu, and Mao Jie from Man Lu. This recommendation is jaw-dropping, and it's really a hero in the world who has won Tso Gong-bi! However, Cao Cao was not satisfied with this. In his life, as long as he saw useful materials, there was no one who did not try his best to win them over. People like Zhang Liao, Xu Huang, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Wen Pin and Jia Xu all voted from other places, which greatly enriched Cao Cao's strength. Cao Cao's pursuit of virtue really reached the point of thirst. He has promulgated the Order of Seeking Meritorious Persons many times, but it is only an example. He even thinks that "if you must be honest and then available, then why can Qi Heng dominate the world!" As long as you are talented, you don't care even if you are slightly lacking in virtue! Although this point is different from the current employment principle of paying equal attention to both ability and political integrity, I think it is worthy of recognition as a "wartime * * * productive policy" at that time when the world was not yet stable and talents were extremely scarce.
after Cao Cao invaded Jizhou, he got some letters from Cao Jun's generals who had an affair with Yuan Shao in wartime. Some people advocated clearing out these collaborators according to the signatures on the letters. However, with a long laugh, Cao Cao burned all the letters and let them go. People asked him why, and replied, "When you are strong, you can't protect yourself. What about others?" With such a mind, do people in the world dare not do their best for tso?
Einstein said, "Great character is the most important thing." Compared with other separatists in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao is open-minded and strong, with extraordinary psychological endurance. Cao Cao has always been strict in military discipline, but he can show great tolerance for the failure caused by carelessness. A sentence: "Winning or losing is a common occurrence in military strategists" shows the rational attitude of Cao Cao as a mature military strategist. Cao Cao loves to laugh, and he laughs loudly every time he is defeated. This smile is a kind of transcendence to himself, and it is also a great encouragement to the soldiers of the whole army. In the Battle of Chibi, hundreds of thousands of Cao Cao's troops were wiped out in an instant. For Cao Cao, who is 54 years old, the heavy blow can be imagined. However, Cao Cao can still laugh! A smile led to Zhao Yun, who almost lost his life. After that, I still laughed, which led to Zhang Fei, who was on the verge of despair; I can still laugh after I managed to escape-only this San Xiao is inspiring, which is unprecedented in ancient and modern times!
As far as strategy is concerned, among the three countries, except Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, Cao Gong is rare. However, no matter Zhuge Liang or Zhou Yu, even though he is full of words and ink, he can't leave half a sentence like "the moon stars are scarce, and the birds fly south", which is generally worthy of a glorious chapter in history. Cao Cao is not only the commander-in-chief of politics and military affairs, but also the leader of Jian 'an poets. This dual identity makes his poems as majestic as those of a secluded prince.
More than 2, years ago, Cao Cao clearly realized that birth, aging, illness and death are universal laws in nature, and sang, "Although the tortoise lives long, it still has its time. The snake rides the fog and ends up with dust. " The immortal poem. It was when he made great achievements in his career that he suddenly realized how limited life was! However, at that time, the world was undecided, and the defeat of Chibi made a three-legged stand. Cao Cao was really powerless to Liu Bei and Sun Quan in the south, and he expected that it would be difficult to get what he wanted in this life. As a result, Cao Cao sighed that "the arm is like the morning dew, and it is more difficult to go to Japan", and at the same time sang "The old horse is crouching, and the ambition is thousands of miles." Martyrs are full of courage in their twilight years. "For thousands of years, these two poems have inspired many people with lofty ideals with their unique appeal. Until today, reading it still makes people feel excited.
although Cao Cao didn't achieve the great cause of unifying the whole country, his achievements are unparalleled. "If the country is not alone, I don't know how many people will be the emperor and how many people will be the king." This is a big truth, from which we can get a glimpse of the state of mind of the bully.
Among the numerous comments on Cao Cao, Chen Shou said it most happily: Taizu's operation and research plan, lashing out the magic of Yu Nei, Shen Shen and Shang Dynasty, and the unique tactics of Korea and Bai, and the official awarding of materials, all of which are based on their own devices, are sentimental and do not forget the old evils, and can finally conquer the imperial machine and become a flood maker, but it is only slightly superior. I can be described as an extraordinary person and a peerless outstanding person.
