As an important historical figure in the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao is a very outstanding figure. In literary works, Cao Cao has a sinister and cold-blooded side, but also a generous and loving side.
The image of Cao Cao is rich and changeable. In fact, Cao Cao is different in the eyes of many people. Everyone sees Cao Cao from different starting points, and naturally they have different views on Cao Cao.
On the whole, Cao Cao is definitely worthy of high praise. People always like to evaluate historical figures with good and bad, but how can everything in the world be evaluated with good and bad? Why is Liu Bei good and Cao Cao bad?
Cao Cao's life, with songs, poems, wine, beautiful women, war and the world, can be described as a happy life. About beauty, Cao Cao also has a special hobby, which must be known to everyone who has seen the Three Kingdoms.
Cao Cao has several big quirks that can be said to be well known all over the world, such as killing people in dreams. Of course, this is just Cao Cao's self-directed performance.
In addition, Cao Cao also likes other people's wives. If he likes him, he will take him away, and he will get a lot, including He Jin's daughter-in-law, his wife Qin, his sister-in-law and so on.
He robbed many daughters-in-law of famous people with surnames, not to mention others, so why did Cao Cao do it? Arguably, with Cao Cao's power at that time, there was no woman he could want. Why do you have to steal someone else's wife?
If Cao Cao's fault is not a quirk, it is better to say that Cao Cao is a normal person. Of course, it is always shameful to rob someone else's daughter-in-law.
In the history of that time, women got married at an early age. Generally speaking, they will get married at thirteen. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. Will modern people like a thirteen-year-old girl? The answer is naturally no.
A normal person's aesthetic standard is not like this, if nothing else, such a girl is not fully developed, just a child.
Cao Cao likes to be around twenty years old, and a girl of this age is an adult. Unfortunately, there were few single women of this age at that time, and they were all married, so Cao Cao would do such a ridiculous thing and change to a modern person to cross back, probably just like Cao Cao.
Not everyone chooses Cao Cao's candidate. He generally likes his opponent's wife, but also to prove himself and show his authority. After defeating others, he thought it was his own trophy.
In addition, Cao Cao robbed other people's wives, and he also had his own considerations. He took a fancy to the power behind these women.
In ancient times, the marriage of those big families was not that simple. Those who can be Cao Cao's opponents are not ordinary people, and their wives have great influence behind them.
It may be easy to eradicate the influence of some governors, but it is not easy to completely rule that territory. Those who were eradicated by Cao Cao are all powerful, so their wives are generally noble families. Cao Cao killed two birds with one stone by taking such a wife away and putting her in his harem in order to get the support of local forces.
