Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were good friends when they were children, and they often ran amok together.
Once, the two brothers met someone else for a wedding and ambushed them. Sneak into the bridal chamber while people are unprepared, pick up the bride and run. But it was soon discovered and caught up, and the two left the bride and fled in a hurry.
The two men were desperate and rushed into a thorn bush. Cao Cao was agile and jumped over. Yuan Shao is a chubby boy. He can't get through one jump, nor can he get through two jumps. The cry of catching a thief behind him is getting closer and closer. Yuan Shao panicked, lowered his head and got into the crack of thorns. As a result, his clothes were caught and Yuan Shao did not dare to move.
Seeing that the pursuer was in sight, Cao Cao pointed to Yuan Shao and shouted, "Here comes the thief who stole the bride!" Yuan Shao panicked as soon as he heard it, and rushed forward desperately. Finally escaped.
2. Cao Cao killed prostitutes
There is a woman in Cao Cao Song and Dance Troupe who sings very well. No one can surpass her, but she has a particularly bad temper. Cao Cao was angry with her and wanted to kill her, but he couldn't bear to part with her voice.
Therefore, Cao Cao recruited 100 geisha and asked them to practice their voices all day. A few months later, someone sang as well as the grumpy geisha. Cao Cao killed the bad-tempered geisha.
3, hope plum to quench thirst
Once Cao Cao went out with his troops, and there was no water on the way, so the soldiers were very thirsty. So Cao Cao asked his men to send a message to the soldiers, saying, "There is a large piece of Meilin in front, bearing many plums, which are sweet and sour and can quench your thirst." Hearing this, the soldiers all drooled. With this, they can reach the place where there is water ahead.
Step 4 rob the bride
When I was young, I robbed other people's brides with a group of partners, such as Yuan Shao. Later, people kicked me out. Yuan Shao accidentally fell into the pit and couldn't get up. Cao Cao shouted: Here comes the thief. As soon as Yuan Shao earned it, he jumped out.
5, Liu Chen arise.
In the sixth year of Zhong Ping (189), Emperor Han Ling died, Bian acceded to the throne, and He Taihou was in Korea. General blades wanted to take advantage of the death of the spirit emperor and the eunuch's downfall, but he didn't get He Taihou's support. So blades called Dong Zhuo (then Zhou Mu) to Peking and forced He Taihou to agree. But this move frightened Dong Zhuo, who had not yet arrived in Beijing. Blade had been murdered by eunuchs.
In September of the same year, Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and took charge of state affairs. He abolished the Emperor Shaohan as the King of Hongnong and changed his younger brother to Emperor Xianhan. He also sent people to poison the mother and son of Hongnong Wang, claiming to be a teacher and specializing in state affairs. Cao Cao saw Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior and refused to cooperate with him, so he changed his name and surname and escaped from Luoyang (now Luoyang East). When Cao Cao arrived at Liu Chen, he "scattered his wealth into the righteous soldiers" and sent an uprising soldier to call on the heroes of the world to crusade against Dong Zhuo.
In the first month of the first year of Chuping (190), Yuan Shu and others * * * elected Yuan Shao, the satrap of Bohai Sea, as the leader, and Cao Cao, as the acting general, participated in soliciting Dong Jun. In February, Dong Zhuo was defeated by the allied forces, threatening Xian Di to move its capital to Chang 'an (now northwest of Xi, Shaanxi Province), but burned the palace, dug graves and plundered the people, leaving Luoyang and Fiona Fang 200 miles desolate.
The Kanto Coalition forces were afraid of the strength of Dong Zhuo's elite Liangzhou army, and no one dared to advance to Kansai. They were all stationed in Ziziphus jujuba (now north of Yanjin). Cao Cao thought that Dong Zhuo "burned the palace and robbed the emperor, and the sea shook and the earth shook", so he should take the opportunity to fight a decisive battle with it and lead the army to the west alone.
Cao Cao went to Xingyang Bianshui (now southwest of Xingyang) and confronted Xu Rong, the general of Dong Zhuo. Due to the disparity in strength, Cao Cao was defeated and most of the foot soldiers were killed or injured. He was also injured by the flow vector. Fortunately, my cousin Cao Hong saved him and survived.
Back in Zizyphus jujuba, Cao Cao suggested that all armies should take their positions, and then divide their troops to Wuguan (now southeast of Fengdan, Shaanxi) to besiege Dong Zhuo, but the generals in Kanto refused to follow. The Kwantung Army named after Dong Zhuo actually has ulterior motives and intends to wait for an opportunity to develop its own power. Soon, there was friction between the troops, and they fought each other. The United army was dissolved.
In the second year of Chuping (19 1), Cao Cao was defeated by poison, white collaterals, self-defense and Yu Fuluo. In Dong Jun, Yuan Shao indicated that he was the governor of Dong Jun.
In the third year of Chuping (192), Qingzhou Yellow Scarf Army made great progress, even breaking Yanzhou counties (governing Changyi, now southeast of Juye, Shandong Province) and attacking Yanzhou secretariat Liu Dai. Hebei Beixin and others welcomed Cao Cao as Yanzhou shepherd. Cao Cao and Bao Xin joined forces to attack the Yellow Scarf. Bao Xin died in battle. Cao Cao "set up an Indiana Jones and fought day and night" and finally defeated the Yellow Scarf.
That winter, more than 300,000 soldiers were killed, with a population of more than one million. Cao Cao accepted his elite and set up an army, Qingzhou soldiers. He also helped Yuan Shao defeat the armies of Liu Bei, Shan Jing and Tao Qian.
In the spring of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Cao Cao pursued in Kuangting for six hundred miles, defeating Yuan Shu, Heishan Army and South Xiongnu. Tao Qian led an army to attack Rencheng in the south of Yanzhou, and Cao Cao led an army to conquer more than ten cities in Xuzhou by Tao Qian.
Step 6 make a name for yourself
In the third year of Xiping (174), Cao Cao was promoted to Xiaozong and became the A Lang of Luoyang. Soon, he was appointed as the northern commander of Luoyang. Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was a place where the royal family lived in compact communities, and it was difficult to govern. As soon as Cao Cao arrived at his post, he announced that it was forbidden to strictly observe the law and discipline, and made more than ten colored sticks to hang around the yamen. "Anyone who violates the ban will be beaten to death with a stick."
The emperor's favorite eunuch's uncle Jian Shuo was forbidden to go at night. Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed him with a five-color stick. As a result, "the capital is gone, and no one dares to commit crimes." So Cao Cao offended some powerful people. Because of his father Cao Song, Cao Cao was transferred to Dunqiu (now Qingfeng).
In the first year of Guanghe (178), Cao Cao was punished by eunuchs because his cousin and brother-in-law urged Hou, and was implicated and dismissed. After having nothing to do in Luoyang, I went back to my hometown Qiao County. In the third year of Guanghe (180), Cao Cao was recruited by the court and appointed as Yi Lang. Previously, General Dou Wu and Chen Fan, a teacher, plotted to kill eunuchs, only to be harmed by eunuchs.
Cao Cao wrote a letter, saying that Dou Wu and others were framed for their official virtue, which led to the situation that treacherous court officials were full, but loyal officials were not reused. His words were sincere, but they were not adopted by Emperor Han Ling. Later, Cao Cao wrote to remonstrate many times, although occasionally effective, but the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty became increasingly corrupt, and Cao Cao knew that he could not correct it.
In the first year of Zhong Ping (184), the Yellow Scarf Uprising broke out, and Cao Cao was worshipped as the riding captain, and was ordered to join forces with Huang Fusong and others to attack the Yellow Scarf Army in Yingchuan. As a result, the Yellow Scarf Army was defeated and tens of thousands of people were beheaded. Then moved to Jinan. During his tenure in Jinan, Cao Cao managed things as always.
In more than ten counties in Jinan (now Jinan, Shandong), county officials are attached to your power, taking bribes and perverting the law, and have no scruples. Before Cao Cao, all countries ignored it. After Cao Cao took office, he made great efforts to rectify, and eight out of ten officers were exempted. Jinan shakes, corrupt officials flee. "The politics and religion are big, and one county is bright."
At that time, it was extremely dark in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was even a system of buying officials. The court confiscated him as the prefect of the East County and worshipped him as a negotiator. Cao Cao refused to cater to the dignitaries as their agents, returned to the village on the pretext of illness, studied in spring and summer, hunted in autumn and winter, and temporarily lived in seclusion.
There was chaos in the world. First of all, Wang Fen, the secretariat of Jizhou, combined with Nanyang Xu You, Guo Pei Zhou Jing and other local strongmen to plan the event of abolishing the mausoleum emperor and Lihe Huihou. Wang Fen and others had hoped that Cao Cao would join them, but Cao Cao refused. Later, Wang Fen committed suicide. Then, there was a frontier fortress chapter in Jincheng County (now Lanzhou) in the northwest. Han Sui killed the secretariat and the satrap and led more than 100,000 soldiers to rebel against the court.
In the fifth year of Zhong Ping (188), Emperor Han Ling set up eight viceroy in Xiyuan in order to consolidate his rule, and Cao Cao was appointed as the imperial army viceroy among the eight viceroy because of his family background.
