Cao Cao was born in filial piety and was elected as a Langguan. He has served as the commander-in-chief of Luoyang North, the commander-in-chief of Dunqiu, the negotiator and a captain of the Imperial Army. He suppressed the yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, moved to Jinan, became a political and religious leader, and moved to a county to go to Qinghua. Organize the Kanto vassal Coalition to crusade against Dong Zhuo, move to Dongjun, and worship Yanzhou as a shepherd. Welcome the Han emperor, worship the viceroy, record the history, serve the public, move the prime minister, and praise the emperor to make him not a minister.
Eliminate Er Yuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao, Han Sui and other separatist forces, surrender to Xiongnu, Wuhuan and Xianbei in the south, and basically unify northern China.
Implementing effective policies, restoring economic production, stabilizing social order, expanding land reclamation, building water conservancy projects, rewarding farmers and mulberry, attaching importance to handicrafts, resettling refugees, and implementing "rent adjustment" have promoted political stability, economic improvement, reduced class oppression and improved social atmosphere in the Central Plains.

Extended data:
The discovery of "Cao Cao's Tomb" in Anyang once again reminds people of Cao Cao, a hero of the Three Kingdoms. Historically, Cao Cao was praised by both sides, and his contemporaries spoke highly of him. For example, Chen Shou, the author of The Three Kingdoms, thinks that Cao Cao is "an extraordinary man and a peerless hero".
Before the Tang Dynasty, almost everyone admired him, because at that time people thought it was natural to replace the decadent dynasty with virtuous people. However, after the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, who came to power after the mutiny, advocated orthodoxy and began to belittle Cao Cao in order to stabilize his rule. Criticism of Cao Cao came out: being in the position of three public officials, being a traitor, polluting the country and harming the people, poisoning people and ghosts.
Others criticized him for holding the emperor to make the princes and having the heart of usurping the Han Dynasty. After the Yuan Dynasty, the orthodox thoughts in the society gradually became indifferent, and no one mentioned usurping the Han Dynasty.
In any case, pens can write poems and horses can fight. Cao Cao is rare in the history of China, so Yi Zhongtian called him a "lovely adulterer". Cao Cao's literary martial arts are well known, but who is Cao Cao in life? Sweeping away the dust of the years, the discovery of Anyang's tomb once again unveiled his mysterious veil and showed the other side of his genius.
Obsessed with color:
Cao Cao is a hero. Since ancient times, heroes have been sad about beauty. Two female bones were unearthed from Cao Cao's tomb in Anyang at the same time. Although it is not certain whether Cao Cao was originally married to Mrs. Bian or other concubines, the "lewdness" of Cao Cao can be seen just by burying men and women together.
Cao * * * has 25 sons and as many as 14 concubines with children. Of course, this is not enough to prove that Cao Cao is lewd, but can only be counted as a common situation under polygamy in ancient times.
When Cao Cao was young, he was quite absurd about men and women. "The Newspeak? False "records the story of Cao Cao's early robbery. "One year, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao heard that a large family was getting married, and the bride was quite attractive, so they agreed to kidnap the bride. When it was dark, the two men sneaked into the back garden and shouted "thief" to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
When everyone left to catch the thief, Yuan Shao met him at the door. Cao Cao rushed into the new house and robbed the bride with a knife. I didn't want the bride to call for help, so my family followed me. The frightened Yuan Shao fell in the thorns by the roadside. Seeing the pursuers coming, Cao Cao left the bride and hurried to help Yuan Shao escape. This time, the robbery was attempted.
Cao Cao was lustful when he was young, but even worse when he was old. After Cao Cao married Emperor Xu of the Han Dynasty, he got wind that the daughter-in-law of the old superior general He Jin was beautiful, so he couldn't help being angry and took it for himself. This is Cao Cao's later Mrs. Yin.
Like father, like son. Cao Cao's lewdness also benefited Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi once wrote "Luo Shen Fu" for Yuan Shao's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhen, and compared this beauty to "being as light as Yun Zheyue, swaying like a romantic wind returning to snow".
Cowardly Cao Zhi may only be satisfied with "spiritual love", but Cao Pi is different. He had long fallen in love with Zhen Shiyin, and when Cao Cao attacked Yecheng, he beat Zhen Shiyin out of the water.
