After the death of Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty, the general took charge of state affairs as a consort. But when he killed the eunuch, he was ambushed. At this time, Dong Zhuo, who has the title of Wolf of the West, led the army to take over the capital. Zhuo entered the city and changed to Shao's younger brother Liu Xie. Most ministers fled Luoyang in succession. Cao Cao also fled to Liu Chen to gather volunteers and condemn Dong Zhuo.
In the first year of Chuping, generals from all walks of life elected Yuan Shao, a prominent family, as the leader and asked Dong Zhuo for help in the Western Expedition. However, due to the ulterior motives of the generals, the insurgents failed. In this battle, Cao Cao met his future sworn enemy Liu Bei for the first time.
In the third year of Chuping, Dong Zhuo was killed by Wang Yun and Lu Bu. The two men were taken over by Zhuo's subordinates Li Jue and Guo Si. And a group of ministers escaped from Chang 'an, but they were hunted down by Li and Guo. Cao Cao discussed with Yu Xun and Cheng Yu and invited Xian Di to Xuchang. From then on, Cao Cao began to hold the emperor as a minister.
Later, Cao Cao went to the Western Ocean in the name of Xian Di. Successively pacified the Kanto and Guanzhong areas. And Liu Bei once became his subordinate. Next, Cao Cao will face his old friend Yuan Shao.
At that time, Yuan Shaopan was in charge of Youdian, Hebei, Binhe and Qinghai. He is strong in military power and brave as a cloud. Although Cao Cao has become the overlord of the Central Plains, he has always had a certain distance from Yuan Shao in strength.
In the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao's army went south and fought Cao Bing in Guandu. Finally, Cao Cao attacked the granary in Yuan Jun with five thousand cavalry led by General Xu You. When Yuan Bing saw the store burned down, Cao Jun took advantage of the situation to attack. Yuan Shao failed. The battle of Guandu established Cao Cao's hegemony in the north.
After the victory of Guandu Battle, Cao Cao spent several years stabilizing the north and pursuing Yuan remnants (Shao Bing died soon after his defeat). In the 13th year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao led an army south to levy Liu Biao. In the same year, Liu Biao died and his second son, Liu Cong, succeeded to the throne. Facing Cao Cao's fierce army, Liu Cong decided to surrender. Cao Cao took over Jingzhou easily. Perhaps because Jingzhou was easy to get, Cao Cao decided to take advantage of the situation and crusade for Sun Quan. But is Sun Quan's ingenuity comparable to that of Liu Cong and others?
Since Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, Sun Shi has always been popular. Coupled with the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, the Sun Shi regime has a solid foundation. After receiving the news from Cao, Sun Quan held several military meetings. During the meeting, the main battle and the main faction had a heated debate. Finally, under the analysis of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Sun Quan decided to play.
In December of the 13th year of Jian 'an, Sun Quan's army confronted Cao Jun in Chibi. Zhou Yu set fire to Cao Cao's warships, and Cao Jun was defeated. From then on, Cao Cao couldn't go south on a large scale. If the battle of Guandu decided Cao Cao's hegemony in the north, then the defeat of Chibi was a battle in which Cao Cao Can only dominated the north.
Since then, although Cao Cao provoked wars on the border of Wu Dong many times, both sides won and lost. At the same time, Liu Beixi set up Yizhou as the self-styled king of Hanzhong. The trend of three pillars has become. Even Cao Cao, the hero of the earth, can't change this fact.
In the 21st year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao was promoted to Wang Wei.
In the twenty-fifth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao died at the age of sixty-six.
The following year, Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, usurped the Han Dynasty and sealed Wei after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Regard Cao Cao as Mao Zuwu.
