Extended data
Cao Cao was born into a prominent eunuch family. Cao Teng, Cao Cao's grandfather, was one of the top ten attendants of eunuch group in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and was also a descendant of Cao Can, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Father Cao Song is Cao Teng's adopted son. At that time, Cao Song's background was not clear, so Chen Shou called him "Don't jump to conclusions", but some people thought he was Xiahou's son. Official to Qiu.
Cao Cao has always been a controversial historical figure. In the eyes of ordinary people, he is a bad guy and a traitor. In fact, according to the true historical evaluation, Cao Cao is an excellent politician, strategist and writer.
1. politician: Cao Cao was both civil and military when he was young. "He is a minister capable of managing the world, and also a traitor in troubled times." The History of the Three Kingdoms rated him as the tallest of the three monarchs in Wei Shuwu. He made great contributions to the unification of northern China, the recovery of economic production and the stability of social order in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In terms of internal affairs, Cao Cao established a system of reclaiming farmland and ordered soldiers who didn't need to fight to go to the fields to farm, thus alleviating the food problem during the war in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Second, the strategist: Cao Cao is talented. When Guan Yu was caught by him, he hoped that Guan Yu would surrender to him, because he knew that Guan Yu was a loyal and brave man, but Guan Yu always disagreed and added harsh words. In the end, I would rather let Guan Yu go back than kill him. It can be seen that he is a very talented person.
But he is also a suspicious person. Once, he tried to get rid of Dong Zhuo, only to find that Dong Zhuo sent someone to kill Cao Cao. It was at the critical moment that his father's good friend Lv Boshe saved him. To scare him, Lv Boshe sharpened his knife and killed the pig to entertain him. However, Cao Cao thought it was an assassination, so he struck first and killed all the families in Lv Boshe.
Cao Cao asked him why he was killed, and his friend said it was a pig. Although Cao Cao knew the truth of the matter, he killed him and said, "I would rather teach me to be negative to the whole world than to teach the whole world to be negative to me." It can be seen that Cao Cao is vicious and cruel. Another time, a soldier tucked him in at night, but he pretended to be dreaming and killed the soldier, and then the soldier held a grand funeral.
What he did touched the hearts of the soldiers, and the purpose of his reburial was also here. He is also a very resourceful person. I believe everyone knows the idiom "Looking at plum to quench thirst".
Third, the writer:
There are three kinds of Cao Cao's poems:
1, reflecting the turmoil in the late Han Dynasty.
2. The ideal of unifying the world with reality and tenacious enterprising spirit.
3. Express unforgettable negative emotions.
His "Although the Turtle is Longevity", an old horse crouches in the tiger, aiming at a thousand miles. The martyrs were full of courage in their later years. Although he said he still didn't give up his ambition in his later years. Mao Zedong wrote a eulogy: More than a thousand years ago, Wei Wu whipped his whip and left it at the Eastern Boundary Stone.
