I am studying the characters in the Three Kingdoms (of course, I am just an amateur) and think that Cao Cao is a very complicated and multifaceted character, which is difficult to describe clearly in a few words. Cao Cao is a controversial figure in the field of history. Many people say that Cao Cao is a tough guy. I think he is a hero of the times. Many people may ask: Why is there such an evaluation? Of course, there is a reason. In feudal society, the world thought that the great ideal of a gentleman's life was to cultivate one's morality and govern the country. I want to analyze Cao Cao from these aspects, which should be more thorough.

First of all, cultivate one's self-cultivation: when Cao Cao was young, he was uninhibited and made great achievements in literature and military affairs. Especially in literature. As we all know, Cao Cao is one of the "Three Caos" in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Many of his poems and songs are widely praised and listed as classics. This is enough to see Cao Cao's personal accomplishment! ?

Let's talk about Qijia: In this respect, the most representative event is the choice of heirs. The two main figures at that time were Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Although seemingly equal, Cao Cao finally took a fancy to Cao Pi, because Cao Pi is suitable for being a gentleman and Cao Zhi can only be a poet. Later, facts proved his wisdom. So that the last generation of the Cao family built Wei in Han Dynasty. ?

Let's talk about governing the country again: after Cao Cao became a vassal and moved to Xuchang, the actual power of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty has been replaced by him. In his lifetime, the Central Plains became the most prosperous place at that time. In employing people, he appointed people on their merits and did not shy away from relatives and friends, which made Cao Wei finally strong. This fully embodies his ability to govern the country and can be said to be an excellent politician! ?

Finally, it is said that in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao only supported tens of thousands of troops and occupied only a few counties. In just a few years, he destroyed Yuan Shao, except Yuan Shu, captured Lu Bu alive, conquered Zhang Xiu, pacified Liaodong and pacified the West! Although the southern expedition failed later, it failed to complete his great cause of unifying the world, but it also laid a solid foundation for the reunification of the world in the future. ?

It is not difficult to see that cultivation made him a writer; Putting the family together makes him a strategist; Governing the country made him a politician; Leveling the world made him a strategist. So I call Cao Cao a hero in the world! Of course, Cao Cao is also headstrong, destroying loyalty and killing innocents. This may also be the reason why many people later commented that he was an adulterer. But I think this is caused by troubled times, so I added the word "current situation" in front of the hero and called it-current situation hero!
