The life of the character

Talent is urgent.

In the third year of Chuping (192), Cao Zhi was born in Dongwuyang. Cao Zhi is the third son of Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian (Mrs. Bian gave birth to four sons for Cao Cao: Pi, Zhang, Zhi and Xiong). At that time, Cao Cao had not yet established himself in the north and lacked a fixed base. His family often went with the army. Therefore, Cao Zhi, like many brothers, spent his childhood in a hectic life. This kind of military life was not changed until the ninth year of Jian 'an (2004), when Cao Cao defeated his arch rival Yuan Shao Group and conquered Yecheng (now Linzhang, Hebei), which he had managed for many years.

Cao zhi

Cao Zhi was very clever since he was a child. As a teenager, he can read The Book of Songs, The Analects of Confucius and the Ci and Fu of the Pre-Qin and Han Dynasties. A hundred schools of thought contend and are widely involved. He is quick-thinking and sharp-tongued. When meeting Cao Cao, he often answers irrelevant questions and blurts them out. Cao Cao once read an article written by Cao Zhi and asked him in surprise, "Did you ask someone to write it for you?" Cao Zhi replied, "Whatever you say, just write an article. You just have to take the exam face to face. Why do you want to ask someone to do it for you! "

In addition, he is frank and natural, does not pay attention to solemn appearance, gorgeous chariots and horses, and does not pursue splendor and wealth, which naturally suits Cao Cao's taste. Gradually, Cao Cao began to transfer his love to Cao Zhi.

In August of the 11th year of Jian 'an (2006), 15-year-old Cao Zhi arrived in Chunyu (now the northeast of Anqiu) with his father for the first time.

In January of the 12th year of Jian 'an (2007), when he returned to Yecheng, he said "Haidong" in Seeking the Self-Test Table. /kloc-in September of 0/6, Cao Zhi followed his father to March northward to Liucheng (now Chaoyang, Liaoning). He said in "Seeking Self-Test Table" that "going north to announce the fortress" was the meaning of this trip, and "White Horse" was a portrayal of Cao Zhi's struggle with his father during this period.

In July of the 13th year of Jian 'an (2008), 17-year-old Cao Zhi went to Xinye with his father, and then fought in Chibi with his father and Sun Quan.

In the 14th year of Jian 'an (209), Cao Zhi returned to his hometown in Bozhou with his father for the first time.

Prince's dispute

In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10), the Tongque Terrace built by Cao Cao in Yecheng was completed, and a group of scholars were called to "pay tribute on the stage", among which Cao Zhi was one. Of all the people, Cao Zhi was the only one who put pen to paper with a little thought. He was the first to hand in his paper, which was called "Ode on the Stage". Since then, Cao Cao has placed high hopes on Cao Zhi, thinking that he is the person who can achieve great things most.

In the autumn of the sixteenth year of Jian 'an (2 1 1), Cao Zhi, who had just finished the coronation ceremony, bid farewell to the luxurious life in Yecheng temporarily and volunteered to follow his father to the Western Expedition. I waded all the way and didn't come home for one night. When the army of the Western Expedition moved to Luoyang, the imperial capital, Cao Zhi was shocked by what he saw: the former prosperity of Luoyang disappeared without a trace, and there were ruins and thorns everywhere. The once glorious Forbidden City has become a ruin, disappearing into weeds, and pieces of yellow leaves are flying in the city. Cao Zhi, full of blood, left Luoyang with the Western Expeditionary Army with a heart of making contributions and continuing westward. After more than a year of annexation war, the western regions finally ended the chaotic situation of scattered sand and ushered in its stability and tranquility. Cao Zhi, the victorious Cao Zhi, was soon named Linzi Hou.

Three Kingdoms Cao Zhi 12

During the period of Yecheng, one thing was very important to Cao Zhi, which influenced his life, and that was the dispute between Wang and Sun.

In the 19th year of Jian 'an (2 14), Cao Zhi was renamed Linzihou. This year, Cao Cao levied Sun Quan, ordered Cao Zhi to stay in Yecheng, and admonished him: "I was twenty-three years old when I served as Dunqiuling, and I never regretted what I did at that time. Now that you are 23 years old, how can you not work hard to become stronger! " Cao Zhi was favored for his talent, so Ding Yi, Ding Ne and others came to help him. Cao Cao hesitated and almost made Cao a prince several times. However, Cao Wenzhi's popularity is too good, and he is also talented. He often acts willfully, neglects self-restraint, and drinks excessively. He has done several things that make Cao Cao very disappointed.
