Cao Cao also has a good grasp of the current situation. After Dong Zhuo's insurrection, the soldiers plundered the capital, set up another king, and claimed to be the prime minister, which aroused the opposition of various governors and strongmen, and it was already "righteous" in the world. Cao Cao believes that "Zhuo will fail, and he will flee his hometown without worshipping" [3], so he joined the "Anti-Dong Zhuo Alliance" led by Yuan Shao.

However, all the forces in this alliance are alienated from Germany and cannot compete with Dong Zhuo at all. So Cao Cao shouted "Give your life for your country". The slogan of "destroying the body with righteousness" stands at a higher height of the times with a "righteousness". In addition to his accurate insight into the current situation, we can also see Cao Cao's outstanding command ability in dealing with large and small battles from the History of the Three Kingdoms.

And the political courage to keep innovating. He rewarded plowing, paid attention to talent selection, reduced or exempted taxes, and strengthened the reward for meritorious personnel. The History of the Three Kingdoms records many battles that Cao Cao carefully planned and won through clever planning. Cao Cao first showed his command ability when he was stationed in Dunqiu.

At that time, Du, Bai Wai, Qing Gu and other black mountain thieves attacked Dongwuyang, but Cao Cao broke it. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, we can also see Cao Cao's outstanding command ability and innovative political courage in dealing with large and small battles. He rewarded plowing, paid attention to talent selection, reduced or exempted taxes, and strengthened the reward for meritorious personnel. This series of measures stabilized his rule in the north, and his talent in the country was undoubtedly revealed.

Extended data:

The History of the Three Kingdoms, one of the twenty-four histories, was written by Chen Shou, a historian in the Western Jin Dynasty. It records the biographical national history of Wei, Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period in China, and is one of the "first four histories" with the highest evaluation among the twenty-four histories.

At that time, there were historical records between Wei and Wu, such as Wei Lue, which was compiled by an official, and Wei Lue, which was written privately, and which was compiled by an official. These three books should be the basic materials for Chen Shou to stand on.

Shu has no official position in history, so it has only 15 volumes. However, the last book was written because of the official position. Therefore, the history of the Three Kingdoms is the product of cultural reintegration after the split of the Three Kingdoms.

The History of the Three Kingdoms was first circulated as a book and a book separately. It was not until the sixth year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1003) that the three books were merged into one book.

The History of the Three Kingdoms is also the most special one in the twenty-fifth history, because it is too brief, and it does not record the lineage of princes and princes, nor does it record the ambitions in economy, geography, official position, etiquette and music, and legal calendar, which does not conform to the norms of general official history established by Historical Records and Hanshu.

The reflection has 65 volumes, Shu Wei has 30 volumes, Shu Shu has 15 volumes and Wu Shu has 20 volumes. The name of the reflection: no ambition, no ambition. Wei Zheng has biographies, Shu and Wu only have biographies, and Chen Shou is a courtier of the Jin Dynasty, who won the world after Wei, so the History of the Three Kingdoms respects Wei as orthodox.

The History of the Three Kingdoms wrote the Ji of Emperor Wu, the Ji of Emperor Wen and the Ji of Ming Di for Cao Cao, Cao Pi and Cao Cao respectively. Shu Shu records that Liu Bei was the first biography and Liu Chan was the last biography. Sun Quan called tachileik and recorded Sun Liang, Sun Xiu and Sun Hao as three heirs. Only pass, no discipline.

In terms of length, Shu Wei accounts for about half of the book, Wu Shu accounts for about a third and Shu Shu accounts for about a quarter, which may be related to the amount of historical materials. Before Chen Shou wrote The History of the Three Kingdoms, there were some historical books about Wei and Wu, such as Shu Wei, Wei Lue by Yu Qian and Wu Shu.

It can be used for reference by Chen Shou. But unlike Wei and Wu, there are no historians, which leads to the lack of historical materials. The History of the Three Kingdoms is carefully selected, and the author carefully examines historical facts, carefully selects unreliable materials, and does not comment and compile at will. Although this makes the History of the Three Kingdoms concise, it also causes the shortcomings of insufficient historical materials for key figures.
