Cao Cao and Liu Bei are the most talked about "old enemies" in the three countries. One is born to "support the emperor and make the princes" and open up the Cao Wei empire; With the help of Zhuge Liang, the Shu-Han regime was established. They are like Gemini in the night sky of the Three Kingdoms.
There is no doubt that Cao Cao and Liu Bei are both temporary heroes and eternal heroes. But what is puzzling is that Cao Cao's sons are full of talents, and one is more powerful than the other. But Liu Bei's three sons are quite mediocre. Didn't you say "like father, like son"? Didn't you say "dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes"?
Cao Cao: Words and deeds are strict.
Cao Cao, who was born in an official family, became famous very early and was called "Qing Ping treacherous court official, a hero in troubled times" by Xu Shao, a critic at that time. Cao Cao is not only gifted in national governance, but also experienced in children's education. As Lu Ji, a writer in the Jin Dynasty, said in "Diaowen", "Seeing his life, seeking four sons, the country is a little far away, and the family training is also great."
As the saying goes, "it's your father's fault not to teach." Cao Cao, who has read extensively since childhood, especially likes to copy the military tactics of ancient schools. This set a good example for sons. Cao Cao raised 25 sons in his life. All the sons except those who died young are very knowledgeable. Cao Pi, Cao Zhi and others have made great achievements in poetry and prose, and they are called "Jian 'an Three Caos" together with Cao Cao.
Cao Cao set an example, educating his children and even benefiting future generations. Cao Cao had a grandson Cao Rui to serve him, which had an important influence on him. Many years later, Cao Rui became emperor. "Every time a banquet is held, it is tied with courtiers. I am eager to study and study, especially law. "
In wartime, military talents are indispensable. Cao Cao is in charge of military affairs, but he always takes time to teach his son by hand. Take Cao Pi as an example. According to Cao Pi's Preface to Collection, Cao Cao taught him archery at the age of 5 and learned to ride and shoot at the age of 8. Under the careful guidance of Cao Cao, Cao Pi had a strong viability very early. 1997, when Cao Pi went to Zhang Xiu with Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu suddenly rebelled. Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin were killed on the spot. 10 years old, Cao Pi rode out of chaos.
Cao Cao occupies a high position and belongs to "one person over ten thousand people". His sons could have "enjoyed the cool under the big tree" and lived a carefree life. Cao Cao doesn't want his son to be useless. When he was in southern operations, he always took his sons to experience the battlefield. Xelloss, Cao Ang and Cao Zhi all went to the battlefield.
Not only that, Cao Cao never favors his son. In 28 years, Cao Cao sent his second son, Cao Zhang, to Wuhuan to counter the rebellion. Before he left, Cao Cao said to Cao Zhang, "At home, we are father and son, and next, we are monarch and minister. We must act according to the king's law and give a warning. " Bearing in mind Cao Cao's teachings, Cao Zhang took the lead in the Northern Expedition, which not only defeated Wuhuan, but also made Xianbei, who would have been doing nothing, jump down, and the northern chaos subsided smoothly.
Liu Bei: No way. I often act like a spoiled child.
Liu Bei is a descendant of Liu Sheng, the king of mountain scenery in the Western Han Dynasty, and also a branch of the imperial clan in the Han Dynasty. But by Liu Bei's generation, his family had fallen into disrepair. Liu Bei, a teenager, had to weave a mat with his mother to sell shoes. He leads a very hard life, and it is impossible for him to study.
/kloc-After 0/5 years old, Liu Bei and his relatives Liu Deran and Lu Zhi, a university worshipper in Gongsun Zan. But Liu Bei doesn't concentrate on reading, but likes dogs and horses, music and beautiful clothes. Of course, although Liu Bei doesn't like reading, he has one advantage: generosity and good company. This allowed him to absorb a group of heroes, and he started from scratch.
Liu Bei was displaced in his early years, and it was not until he was 46 that he gave birth to his first child, Liu Chan. That time was the most bitter day of Liu Bei's life. Chased by Cao Cao, he fled and almost died in Changbanpo. He did not educate his son at all. Liu Chan grew up in the background of long-term lack of family education. Although he was made a crown prince, he once made up lessons and took Zhuge Liang as his teacher, but the raw rice was cooked and missed the best learning period. No matter how hard he tried to make up for it, it was in vain.
It is puzzling that Liu Bei spoiled Liu Chan. When he went out to fight, he never took Liu Chan out for training, so he was pampered in the palace. Besides Liu Chan, Liu Bei gave birth to two sons in his later years: Liu Yong and Liu Li. Liu Bei spoiled them all. Basically, he said, "If you eat them in your mouth, you are afraid to melt them, but if you hold them in your hand, you are afraid to lose them." Under this educational model, can we expect our son to become a pillar of talent?
Liu Bei knew the mediocrity of Liu Chan and others. Liu Bei didn't expect much from his son. Twenty-three years ago, before his death in Yong 'an, Liu Bei hired Zhuge Liang from Chengdu to take care of the affairs, saying, "You are ten times more talented than Cao Pi, and you will make great achievements. If the heir can assist, assist; If you have no talent, you can take it yourself. "
If Liu Chan is slightly qualified, will Liu Bei give him up like this?
