What is a normal world view?
That's it: Cao Cao or Liu Bang, they are all human beings. I'm sorry to put Liu Bang at the end of the Han Dynasty. There is a high probability of death in the yellow turban insurrectionary. If Cao Cao was thrown at the end of the Qin Dynasty, it was probably one of the hapless loyal ministers in the Qin Ershi purge. Li Shimin's military families were numerous at the end of the Han Dynasty, but have you ever heard of Huang Fusong or Duan Qirui's son? Never heard of it, because the imperial system and eunuchs are watching you. If Yuan Shao's four generations and three fairs were put in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, there would be no Sui Wendi. On tricks and court coups, the two sons of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty can only give them for nothing.
Therefore, Cao Cao, who did not unify the world, and Li Shimin and Liu Bang, who unified the world, were just products of that era. Cao Cao was a slacker from the beginning, and Liu Bang was a fan of Wei Gongzi when he was a teenager. Li Shimin may be more profound than all of them, but not much worse.
It's just that they met something different. The yellow turban insurrectionary uprising is not tyranny. I am very reliable, so the mobilization method is feudal superstition and I didn't enter Guanzhong. Judging from the penetration and planning of the opening angle, there must be someone in the palace, so in Cao Cao's view, this is a bad debt. This is completely different from the time when Qin lost his deer and the world was * * *. Anti-Qin was a righteous cause at that time, but anti-Han was not. Emperor Yang Di caused the world to fall apart, and the nobles were alienated. The people cursed him for dying too fast. The imperial court in the Eastern Han Dynasty was not so restless.
So the first thing to make sure is not to compare Cao Cao with the general founding monarch. He doesn't deserve it, not a comparable level. He started his army with no sense of honor and used magic to intimidate the emperor to live. Every time I think about it, it is definitely not Liu Bang's feeling that "this world is mine", but that I am dying.
But it doesn't mean that this era can't unify the world, and the Western Jin Dynasty will be unified, so this question turns into why Cao Cao didn't even achieve the achievements of the Western Jin Dynasty.
Because he can't give a blueprint, he doesn't know what era he can build. He only knows that he is the grave digger of this era. Those people around him, for example, Dong Zhao, although he followed them, may not be willing in his heart, because he is very smart and knows that Dong Zhao's tricks are for survival, not the eternal foundation. After all, you said that the 400-year model of the former Han Dynasty was over. What can you tell the people? This matter could not be solved in the early Han Dynasty and the early Ming Dynasty. It was simply because the system of Qinheyuan had just been established, but it was too fierce to seek treatment. Later, the rebels repaired it a little, and everything was logical.
Well, the above is from the perspective of system and historical process to see the demise of the Han Dynasty-Cao Cao knew that he could not make anything good and could do nothing about substitutes, so he could not unify the world. He hasn't been miserable enough to regard the destruction of Wu and Shu as the only way to continue his orthodoxy, so although he is unlucky, there is always a Sima family.
To sum up, the reason why unification cannot be achieved is simple.
1, generally speaking, the combination will be divided for a long time. The 400-year-old mature empire of the Han Dynasty collapsed and reunification was difficult. Unification is just muddling along.
2. Strategically speaking, Cao Cao has no strategic vision. It is a last resort to suppress the periphery in the form of central flowering. Similar to Zhu Wen, it relies on massacre and strategic fraud. It's luck to start playing Xuzhou and be copied from the back road. He didn't start the battle of Guandu, so it's not a strategy. Victory is a military skill. What is the next step to lay the foundation for Hebei? He didn't know that Liu Biao was dead, and he was afraid that Jingzhou would fall into the hands of Liu Bei, so he went south. Eliminating Guanzhong is also the first step of Guanzhong rebellion, one step at a time. It is not a good thing for a competent minister and a military commander to become the top leader. This is a national misfortune. What should the Prime Minister do? Please look at Dou Ying's performance in the Seven-Nation Uprising.
In terms of internal affairs, there is nothing wrong with the Han Dynasty, and you have no sense of justice. Your credit belongs to the Duke of Zhou. You wanted to be Duke of Zhou, but you ended up in Huo Guang. If you don't want to be a duke, be an anti-thief. If you want to be Zhou Wenwang, you are actually Wang Mang. You've only been usurping the throne for three generations, and Sima Jia came. It's really a good thing-a guy who is worse than you, thicker than you and has no bottom line has subverted your legacy. History is humorous, just like Qin Shihuang, who was sold by eunuchs, destroyed by warriors and usurped by the director of the pavilion.
4. System (system is an integral part of the general trend). Dong Zhao's proposal is to commit suicide slowly, and if you don't listen, you will die immediately. Yu Xun's proposal was heard, and a coin would be thrown between eternal perfection and betrayal. After listening to Dong Zhao's proposal, you are not happy.
At the end of history, please sympathize with most of them. Who is happier, the grassroots who were killed by bandits in troubled times or the Sima family who finally climbed onto the judgment platform of history by personal struggle to experience the historical process? In my opinion, it makes no difference. Anyway, it is nothing more than shouting in the debris of the collapse of the empire-this is a structural tragedy, not anyone's fault. It depends on your ability. It's not a good thing anyway.
6. History chose Cao Cao and abandoned him at the right time. Fate is cruel, don't try to understand it. A person's life is very short, and how to live is only clear before he dies.
7. The History of the Three Kingdoms is a "great defeat" in the field of political science. If you can see successful academic and workplace experience, it is still not an introduction.
Of course, Cao Cao has his own reasons for not unifying the world, and he has a lot of responsibilities to bear, but it doesn't make sense to say such things-because only his successor, Xelloss, can stand up and criticize him, and Xelloss just won't do so. Although the interpretation of future historians is reliable, it has nothing to do with him. Responsibility must have an object. Who is Cao responsible for? There are only Cao Hong and Coss, so this is a problem in itself.
