Complain about others, complain about others: On one March, Cao Cao gave an order that horses were not allowed to trample on wheat fields, and all offenders would be beheaded. The soldiers all dismounted and walked for fear of hurting the wheat seedlings. But Cao Cao's steed was frightened and stepped on the wheat field. He drew his sword and cut off a lock of hair as punishment, which shows the seriousness of law enforcement.
Three orders of seeking talents: in the selection of talents, in the Han Dynasty, the selected officials should not only have feudal moral qualities such as benevolence and filial piety, but also have aristocratic family background. In order to maintain and develop power and let more people serve their own cause, Cao Cao did not stick to the above standards and emphasized "meritocracy". As long as he is talented, he pays attention to promotion even if he lacks feudal moral quality and comes from a lower class. From 2 10 to 2 17, he gave three orders to seek talents and selected and appointed some talents. Cao Cao used his talents to break the concept of family status, attract the middle and lower classes of the landlord class and suppress the strongmen.
Three Crys for Guo Jia: Cao Cao always shows his true feelings towards talented and polite corporal, and "cries" for talent. For example, Cao Cao cried for ten days, Dian Wei cried twice and Guo Jia cried three times. Among them, when crying about Guo Jiashi, Cao Cao adopted Guo Jia's suggestion and led an expedition to the desert in western Liaoning. Guo Jia was ill in bed because of his acclimatization, and Cao Cao came to visit him. He was very distressed and shed tears. Two crying Guo Jia, Guo Jia died, fuck to sacrifice, crying is the loss of talents like Guo Jia. He cried and said, "It's a pity that I died of filial piety!" He looked back at the official and said, "All gentlemen are lonely, but filial piety is the least. I want to entrust the future. The accidental death in middle age broke my heart! " On the way back to Chibi, Cao Cao wept for Guo Jia and missed Guo Jia, showing his expectation for real talent and learning.
In the aspect of imperial generals, Cao Cao got out of the forbidden line, enjoyed reading between the lines, and took Zhang Liao and Huang Xu into subjugation, all of which made contributions with their lives and were listed as famous soldiers. Cao gave full play to Cao Can's strengths according to the characteristics of generals. For example, Chu Xu and Dian Wei are strong and loyal to the law, so Cao Cao let them fight for the army and rest for the army; Cang Ba was confident in the East, so Cao Cao entrusted Qing and Xu to him so that he could concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao without considering the East. Wen Pin, a general under Liu Biao's account, is very prestigious in Jianghan area. Cao Cao named him Jiangxia satrap, entrusted peripheral affairs, and made him Sun Quan's imperial concubine.
Welcome back to Wenxi: After pacifying the north, Cao Cao felt "bereavement" out of pity and nostalgia for his old friend Cai Yong, so he sent an envoy to redeem him from the Huns and remarried a woman named Dong Si, asking her to sort out more than 400 books left by Cai Yong, which contributed to the spread of Chinese culture.
Selling shoes by distributing incense: Cao Cao left a decree before he died, saying, "My ladies-in-waiting concubines and cabaret artists have worked hard. Let them live in Tongquetai (the site is located in Yecheng site, 20 kilometers southwest of Linzhang County, Hebei Province), arrange them well, put a six-foot bed on the main hall of Zheng Tai, hang a coffin tent, offer sacrificial food in the morning and evening, and sing and dance in the tent from morning till night on the first and fifteenth day of each month. You should often visit my tomb in Xiling on the Tongque Terrace. The rest of the incense can be distributed to the ladies, and there is no need to sacrifice. Everyone in every room has nothing to do, so they can learn to make tapes and shoes to sell. " Later, it was said that he would never forget his wife and concubine. Luo Yin, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote in Yecheng: "Heroes also go to incense places, and they can * * * people more than ordinary people."
