"The water in one river never returns, and the waves are exhausted, which is a romantic figure through the ages." If The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a confusing history that has to be read, then Cao Cao is a person who has to mention and praise it.
"I would rather teach me to be negative about the world than teach the world to be negative about me." Because of his paranoia, he killed a family of nine by mistake in Lv Boshe. Because of his suspicion, before the Chibi War, Zhou Yu's treachery aroused Cao Cao's suspicion, and he immediately beheaded Cai and Battle of Red Cliffs, which led to his failure. Because of his paranoia, Cao Cao led an army to confront Liu Bei's army across the Han River. Because Liu Bei's soldiers beat drums and fired guns every night, he suspected that Zhuge Liang might have a trick and immediately withdrew for three miles. Because of paranoia, he thought that Hua Tuo's treatment was to avenge Guan Yu, and a generation of famous doctors died unexplained.
Suspicion, indecision, willfulness, and harming others and yourself are really in line with Zhuge Liang's words: Suspicion often leads to failure.
However, don't forget, Cao Cao was born in an eventful autumn, and many heroes came together in troubled times. Suspicion in the war can be regarded as caution and helplessness. In the face of the life and death of Liu and other three brothers, I think Cao Cao is also a heartfelt envy. As a generation of macho men, in the face of war, heroes rise together. Without Cao Cao's suspicious temper, how can we step by step and achieve success? The so-called success is also suspicious. Suspicion makes Cao Cao win a lot and lose a lot.
Cao Cao is cruel, but not tyrannical; Cold, but not ruthless. Guo Jia died young, and Cao Cao was devastated. After Chen Gong's death, Cao Cao supported his mother ... His cruelty and ruthlessness are not his nature. If he is not cruel, others will be cruel to him. If he is not ruthless, he cannot defeat one dangerous enemy after another. He is facing a life-and-death war.
Although Cao Cao is suspicious, treacherous and cruel, what is certain is that he is a capable minister and a wise Lord with great ambitions.
Cao Cao broke the concept of family status with talents. "Green scorpion, leisurely in my heart." Cao Cao loves talents. He knew that Guan Yu would not betray Liu Bei, but he was reluctant to kill him. He personally sent Guan Yu to ride a thousand miles alone and let him go through five customs and cut six generals. He can make Zhao Zilong go in and out seven times in the army; He can use huge sums of money to treat Chen Lin, who once wrote condemnation and self-abuse. Because of this, his generals and civil servants, whether unruly, stubborn and persistent, or even treacherous, are completely convinced by Cao Cao, making the best use of everything and making the best use of people.
Cao Cao is very talented. He is good at the art of war, including Sun Tzu's Art of War and Sun Tzu's Art of War ... He is good at poetry and songs, leaving behind such timeless masterpieces as Short Songs and Looking at the Sea ... The martyr's next year is full of courage. "The mountain will never be too high, and the water will never be too deep. The duke of Zhou vomited, and the world returned to the heart. "If you have no ambition and talent, how can you write such magnificent, generous and sad words?
No wonder people all say that Cao Mengde is a "talented statesman and treacherous court official in troubled times".
It is Cao Cao's ambition to "unify the world", "rely on the emperor to make the princes" and "live alone in the world". I don't know how many people are emperors and how many people are kings. " These seemingly excessive practices and arrogant boasting words are full of Cao Cao's lifelong dreams and domineering. However, contrary to expectations, Cao Cao finally failed to realize his lifelong ambition, and he had to leave with regret. ...
Cao Cao made his own way, and the times pushed him to the forefront.
Sun Quan commented on Cao Cao: "It's a pity to kill only small things. It' s cool to alienate people' s flesh and blood, and emperors and princes have been rare since ancient times. "
Pei Songzhi commented on Cao Cao: "Looking back at ancient and modern books, it is very important to be greedy, ruthless and ruthless."
Emperor Taizong said to Cao Cao: "In times of crisis, we should control changes and expect the enemy to set up strange tricks. Once we make them smart, we will have more than enough talents. "
Lu Xun said: "Cao Cao is at least a hero."
Mao Zedong said, "It has been over a thousand years. Wei Wu waved his whip, and the Jieshi was left in the east. "
Some hate Cao Cao, his suspicion and treachery, and his cruelty and arrogance. ...
Some people like Cao Cao, like his true nature, and like his pride in not being afraid of failure.
Gold is not enough, and no one is perfect. Maybe right or wrong doesn't matter anymore. "Only heroes can be true, and celebrity romance is true." In the long history, one after another is just a drop in the ocean, but Cao Cao used his hurried life to draw a stunning stroke.
