In troubled times, Cao Cao had to spend a huge price to recover Cai Wenji. What is the real purpose?

Cao Cao's purpose is actually very simple. He is definitely not the kind of person who will do nothing. When he is busy, he must take Cai Wenji back. In fact, he hopes that Cai Wenji can come back and help him continue to write the book History of the East. This book is used to record the national history. Cao Cao doesn't trust anyone. He only trusts Cai Wenji, because Cao Cao and Cai Wenji's father Cai Yong have been friends for many years, and he believes that Cai Wenji will like her.

There are many views on this issue in history, but I think the most credible one is the one just mentioned. Some people say that Cao Cao took back to Cai Wenji because they grew up together and had an old relationship, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this statement is untenable, because according to Cao Cao's date of birth, although Cai Wenji's date of birth is not recorded in detail in history, it is not difficult to find that the possibility that they were childhood friends is very low.

Besides, Cao Cao was never the kind of person who would give up his career and make an irrational decision for love. If he really has feelings for Cai Wenji, why didn't he lend a helping hand when Cai Wenji was in trouble? He didn't choose to take Cai Wenji back before, so he has to wait until now, so this statement is definitely untenable. According to Cao Cao's character, the only thing that can explain his abnormal behavior is that Cai Wenji is useful to him.

Although Cao Cao didn't claim to be the emperor, he was very concerned about how future generations would evaluate him, so he attached great importance to the compilation of history books. But because he doesn't trust anyone who writes now, it is even more difficult to find the second person who can write national history at that time, which reminds him of Cai Wenji, so what Cao Cao did was only for himself, not as noble as the world imagined.
