The death of Hua Tuo was a disaster in the history of ancient medicine. It is said that Hua Tuo's ambition is actually to be an official. In ancient society, especially in the Han dynasty, people with excellent learning were able to be officials in the DPRK. This is the dream of countless students, although doctors are highly respected.
People who eat whole grains are not sick, but everyone from civil servants to farmers has great prejudice and misunderstanding about doctors. Hua tuo is mainly a student, followed by a doctor, but he is very talented in medicine.
In the process of constantly treating others, Hua Tuo's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and many dignitaries come to see her. Hua tuo bided his time, hoping to get to know the dignitaries again and find opportunities for promotion.
At that time, Cao Cao cut down an old pear tree for building a palace, which angered the pear king. Cao Cao began to have a bad headache. In order to cure Cao Cao, his men called Hua Tuo overnight. After Hua Tuo's diagnosis and treatment, he realized that Cao Cao's illness was rooted in his head and could not be cured, so he told him that Cao Cao's life was coming to an end.
However, according to legend, Cao Cao's illness is not so serious. Hua Tuo threatened that he was seriously ill. How can a clever man like Cao Cao not see what Hua Tuo means? However, he did not agree to Hua Tuo's request, and Hua Tuo said that his wife was ill. After going home to take care of his wife and finding an excuse not to return to the DPRK, Cao Cao sent someone to watch to see if Hua Tuo's wife was really seriously ill. If so, he will forgive him. Otherwise, Hua Tuo will be imprisoned. Hua Tuo was sentenced to death for cheating Cao.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms tells the specific story of why Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao. According to legend, Cao Cao personally cut down a pear tree because he wanted to build a palace, and the pear tree was located in front of Yuelong Temple. So Cao Cao offended the god of pear trees and had nightmares at night. Later, he had a headache and was devastated.

Someone recommended Hua Tuo to Cao Cao, saying that Hua Tuo's medical skill was brilliant, which might cure Cao Cao's headache and chronic diseases. After Hua Tuo treated Cao Cao, he pointed out that the cause of Cao Cao's headache was his head. First, he had to anesthetize himself with hemp powder, and then he had a craniotomy to take out those troublesome things in his head. Cao Cao was very shocked and scared after hearing this, so he shouted that Hua Tuo wanted to kill him. So Hua Tuo was put into prison by Cao Cao and finally executed.
According to Chen Shou's Records of the Three Kingdoms, Hua Tuo is not only a brilliant doctor, but also a scholar. Later, Hua tuo became Cao Cao's doctor. Every time Cao Cao has a headache, Hua Tuo will acupuncture, and Cao Cao will be fine. Hua tuo wanted to get the official position by Cao Cao, so he thought of a plan. Hua tuo claimed that his wife was ill at home and needed to go home to take care of her for a few days. Cao Cao agreed. When Hua Tuo returned to China, he refused to go back. At the same time, Cao Cao sent someone to invite him, but Hua Tuo remained unmoved. Later, Cao Cao was furious and ordered the Ministry to go to Hua Tuo's house to learn about the situation. If Hua Tuo's wife is really ill, she will give Hua Tuo a few more days. Otherwise, Hua Tuo will be arrested and imprisoned. After several trials, Hua Tuo confessed. Cao Cao wanted to execute Hua Tuo, during which someone came to intercede for Hua Tuo, but Cao Cao was unmoved and still executed Hua Tuo.
speak of the devil
Speak of the Cao Cao is a work of modern historian Wang. This book is divided into three parts and tells the story of Cao Cao's life. With the social background at that time as the background, Mr. Wang described Cao Cao's career as a military commander from three aspects: Cao Cao's life experience, fighting for Yanzhou's sovereignty and laying the foundation for the reunification of the North.

This book is described and analyzed by the author from an objective angle, involving many viewpoints, all in order to correct the misunderstanding of Cao Cao by the world.
Later generations know Cao Cao mostly through Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the four classical novels. But in order to create characters, the story is full and readable, so Cao Cao's image is more treacherous and insidious. Later, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was adapted into a film and television work. When people get to know a person through TV works, they will add subjective feelings or thoughts, so the interpretation of Cao Cao will be more biased.
Speaking of Cao Cao, first of all, it is based on the background of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Cao was born in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and peasant uprisings broke out everywhere. In addition, the struggle between bureaucrats and political power within the ruling class requires a visionary and talented person to change the social status quo in such a turbulent era. Therefore, Cao Cao later led troops to fight, which complied with the requirements of such an era. When Cao Cao was a child, he was very interested in the art of war and read many military works. So his father, Cao Song, was very angry, because Cao Cao danced with sticks and swords all day, which caused him a lot of trouble. Later, Cao Cao's military talents gradually emerged and gained the attention of the emperor. Cao Cao can lead troops to fight. In this process, Cao Cao met many talents and recruited them to his doorstep.
This work explains a different Cao Cao from an objective point of view.
Cao Cao loves talents.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, heroes came forth in large numbers. In history, many people with lofty ideals often express their feeling that they have little knowledge. This proves that talents are important, but it is even more precious to meet a boss who appreciates himself, recognizes and digs his talents.

Cao Cao is a general who is good at discovering talents. He recruits talented people from all over the world into his curtain, treats them well and makes good use of them. Dian Wei, Guo Jia and Le Jin are all generals under Cao Cao. In the process of Cao Cao's eastward expedition to the west, if his own army won a great victory and the other army had the materials to do it, Cao Cao would try his best to keep him under his own door and reuse him. Cao doesn't care about the background or experience of talented people, but also gives them a place to play their talents, and has their own scenes in the future.
In the Battle of Wanping, Zhang Xiu was angered by his beauty, so Zhang Xiu pretended to surrender. In the middle of the night, Zhang Xiu led the army into Cao Cao's barracks and killed Cao Cao's army by surprise. In this war, Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, died, as did Dian Wei, the brave general. At Dian Wei's funeral, Cao Cao wept bitterly and felt very sad. Once, passing by the old place, Cao Cao suddenly burst into tears. Soldiers around him don't know why. Cao Cao explained the reason. Dian Wei died here and lost a lover. After hearing this, everyone dismounted in succession to mourn Dian Wei, and Cao Cao personally burned incense to commemorate Dian Wei. After mourning for Dian Wei, he went to burn incense for his son and nephew.
There are many examples of Cao Cao's love for talents, which is enough to show that Cao Cao is a rare bole.
Cao Cao is suspicious by nature.
Now when people talk about Cao Cao, they will evaluate him objectively and fairly. With the society becoming more and more civilized, people will not simply draw a conclusion when evaluating a historical figure, but will directly comment on the good or bad. Most of them will study all kinds of historical materials and then make a comprehensive evaluation in various ways. As the saying goes, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and there are many different views on Cao Cao's interpretation.
Portrait of Cao Cao
Later generations have different opinions about the nature of Cao Cao's paranoia. Some people think that Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan all had great strength under the background of the great era in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. If you are not careful, the site you may have worked so hard for will become something in someone else's pocket. Isn't it tragic? Take Cao Cao as an example. Cao Cao has a chronic disease, that is, a headache, which is getting worse and worse, so that even thinking with his head is unbearable. Even the famous doctor Hua Tuo advised Cao Cao to relax, which is beneficial to the cure of headache. But Cao Cao didn't dare to slack off on Cao Can, so Cao Cao's suspicion was common sense.
Another way of saying this is that Cao Cao's suspicious nature is a misunderstanding. Cao Cao is very kind to both men and women, and he is a very affectionate person. Only in later works, the portrayal of Cao Cao became more and more biased, which led to the distortion of Cao Cao's image. In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao confronted Yuan Shao. The equipment and fighting capacity of Cao Cao's army are not as good as Yuan Shao's. Besides, Cao Cao occupied an unfavorable battlefield. However, in this battle, Cao Cao boldly selected people and listened to the counselor's operational disposal methods, and won a great victory in this battle.
Grandfather Cao Cao
Cao Cao's grandfather was Cao Teng, the eunuch of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Teng is honest and respected. Cao Teng was a little-known eunuch in the period of Emperor Han 'an. Later, Emperor Shun of Han acceded to the throne, especially Cao Teng, and often rewarded Cao Teng with something. Emperor Shun of Han not only took care of Cao Teng in his living habits, but also rewarded him with something different. On the official career, Cao Teng also changed from a little yellow door to a constant servant.

Later, after the death of Emperor Shun, his two-year-old son, Emperor Chong, succeeded to the throne. Before long, the little emperor died. It is impossible for a country to have no emperor, so the ministers of the DPRK discussed the action of establishing an emperor. There are two voices in court. One is King Qinghe as emperor, and the other is Herry Liu as emperor. When Cao Teng saw that the time was almost ripe, he found Liang Ji and said that he was willing to stand on Herry Liu's side and support Herry Liu and Liang Ji as emperors together. Later, with the support of Cao Teng, Liang Ji poisoned King Qinghe and successfully made Herry Liu emperor. When Herry Liu became emperor, he gave preferential treatment to those who supported him, and Cao Teng was promoted to Fei Houting. Cao Teng experienced four emperors in his palace, and everything he did was perfect.
Cao Teng also paid attention to recommending outstanding talents to Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty. Yan Gu and others were all recommended by Cao Teng. On one occasion, a satrap sent an official to Cao Teng for a gift, trying to bribe him. As a result, he was courted by Yizhou secretariat, so he wrote to impeach Cao Teng. Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty knew that Cao Teng was innocent, so he didn't pursue Cao Teng. Cao Teng also praised the talents who planted pens and waved emblems, and advised the emperor to reuse them.
Later, after Cao Teng's death, his adopted son Cao Song inherited his title.
