See the boundless ocean

On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea. The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea. Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging. The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.

A trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise. I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.

He is a vassal, he does not become a vassal, nor is he worshipped by imperial edict. He worships heaven and earth with the crown of the son of heaven, car clothes, signs, gifts and music, and calls the police when he goes in and out. Ancestral temples, ancestors and wax figures are all like Han. All princes are princes. The nominal Han Chen is already the emperor.

Cao Cao showed Sun Quan's book to ministers at home and abroad and said, "It is my son who wants to sit on the fire!" " "Ministers took the opportunity to persuade cao cao. Cao Cao didn't want to abolish Xian Di's independence. He said, "If fate belongs to me, I will be Zhou Wenwang. "

In this crisis, Cao Cao seized the desperate emperor, moved the capital to Xu County, and tried to unify China by force, which played a positive role in the political stability of the Eastern Han Dynasty. At that time, everyone's official positions were called by Cao Cao at the request of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, which actually controlled the imperial court and the whole political situation.

"Junqingping's traitor, a hero in troubled times" is ambitious.

When Cao Cao was young, he was quick-witted and had the ability to improvise. But he is willful, chivalrous, unruly and unlearned. Only Qiao Xuan of Liang thinks he is different. Qiao Xuan said to Cao Cao, "There will be chaos in the world, and people who are doomed can't help it. Who can be safe? " He Qing of Nanyang said to him: "whoever is peaceful when the Han Dynasty dies is this person!" Xu Shao said to Cao Cao, "a traitor who keeps his place, a hero in troubled times."
