Cao Cao, also known as Meng De and nicknamed "Ayun", comes from Guo Peiqiao County. Cao Cao was an outstanding politician, strategist, writer and calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the founder of Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms period. Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was promoted to Qiu by buying an official, and Qiu ranked first in the three fairs. Cao Cao's grandfather, Cao Teng, was a regular eunuch in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao was an official for three generations. Although Cao Cao did not have excellent academic performance when he was young, he was once evaluated by an expert, saying that Cao Cao was "an effective minister in managing the world and a hero in troubled times". As an adult, Cao Cao has been an official in the imperial court. His official position is not very big, but Cao Cao has made outstanding achievements.
What really made Cao Cao stand out was offering a knife to Dong Zhuo. This is a good way for many ministers to deal with Dong Zhuo, and they want to be assassinated by Dong Zhuo's sword. However, the assassination failed and became a sword sacrifice. From then on, the name Cao Cao became famous in the imperial court and Jianghu.
After the assassination failed, Cao Cao quickly went out of the city, met Chen Gong and assassinated the Lv Boshe family. After that, he began to recruit talents step by step and became the overlord of the separatist party.
Later, he followed the advice of his advisers and implemented the strategy of "holding the emperor to make the princes" so that he could stand against the forces from all over the world under the most powerful conditions.
The reason why Cao Cao can make a fortune is actually inseparable from Cao Cao's real talent and diligence. He is good at the art of war, knows how to reuse talents, and has a good eye for people.
