To raise this question, we must first be psychologically prepared: be prepared to swear! For more than 1000 years, Zhuge Liang has been worshipped as the embodiment of wisdom, the empty city plan, and even the wisdom in wisdom, so that the empty city plan in Thirty-six Plans is also among them. Therefore, it seems unwise to ask this question.
But I still have to ask: Did Sima Yi really fall for it?
The answer is simple. Sima Yi was never caught. He deliberately let Zhuge Liang go and led him to this behavior. This is a huge political conspiracy of Sima Yi.
In order to make the analysis more orderly, first introduce the two protagonists, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, and the two regimes they represent, Shu and Wei, and draw a conclusion.
In the thirteenth year of Jian 'an, Zhuge Liang put forward the famous "Longzhong Dui", made a prospect and action plan for social politics, military affairs, diplomacy and internal affairs at that time, and determined the idea of developing to the Central Plains based on Sichuan. After ten years of operation and twenty-four years of Jian 'an, we finally have the land of two rivers, and realized Longzhong's strategic plan for the first half: "crossing the Jing, benefiting and ensuring". This is the right strategy, and it has been realized. But Longzhong's strategy for the second half was wrong, and the stealth and pincer attack were right. It reversed the position of the main force and the partial division, so it was called an "invisible mistake": "If the world changes, the soldiers of Jingzhou will be led to Wan and Luo, and the generals will lead the people of Yizhou to Qinchuan." On the surface, it completely conforms to the battlefield rules, allowing the enemy to fight on both sides, but what is fatal is that the main force and some divisions used the wrong direction, causing irreparable losses.
What's the reason? This is because: after Xian Di moved the capital to Xudu, Qinchuan has lost its political status of commanding the whole country; After the war, the economy and people's livelihood of "high ruins everywhere, ten rooms and nine empty rooms" could not support the action of large troops; The large troops are far from the rear, across the mountain, and the supply cannot be replenished in time. Materials travel long distances across mountains, and once they are cut off, large troops are extremely dangerous. Therefore, on the premise of preventing attacks, it is appropriate to use small and capable troops to attack everywhere and contain the enemy. That's all. This is the direction of Qinchuan. Jingzhou is in different directions. Jingzhou is located on the Yangtze River, and it is strategically located in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River with Iraq, Nanjing and Yang. If they occupy Jingzhou, Yizhou and Jingzhou will all live, and they can go down the river militarily. What's more, Jingzhou's "Woye Shengshi" strategically forced Wan and Luo to control Jiangnan. Therefore, the so-called "crossing Jing Yi and protecting its rock resistance" is the battlefield for military strategists. "Jingzhou is connected with the country, and if it is available, this imperial city can also be obtained" (Volume XIII of Zi Zhi Tong Jian). However, due to Jingzhou's small size and lack of depth, Zhuge Liang repeatedly warned Guan Yu to "reject Cao in the east and Sun Quan in the north" to avoid being attacked on both sides. Even so, once a small group of troops were under pressure, the situation was extremely dangerous, so Guan Yu lost Jingzhou. Therefore, it is appropriate to use large forces and exert continuous military pressure to achieve the goal of firmly controlling strategic locations, so that they can advance and retreat freely and move freely.
It's a pity that Zhuge Liang made a mistake here and didn't pay attention to Jingzhou. After Guan Yu lost Jingzhou, it was impossible for Shu Han to "go east downstream" from now on, and Qinchuan could not get through, so he was trapped in the land of two rivers.
When Zhuge Liang realized this, it was too late. He faced a choice: active attack or passive defense?
He knows his weight. In "A Model", he said: "When you measure the talent of a minister, you will know that only by cutting thieves can you weaken the enemy and strengthen it." If you don't take the initiative to make progress, you will say, "If you don't cut off the thief, Wang Ye will die, but you are doing nothing. Which one is it? " This is because "we can't be partial to the capital of Shu". If you want to make progress, what are your strengths? Since entering Hanzhong, after the battle of Yiling (burning camp), in a few years, * * * more than 70 generals who are good at taking the lead and 1000 military backbones have died successively. These military backbones have been accumulated and cultivated for decades. If we spend a few more years, it will be two-thirds less, which obviously shows that our strength is insufficient. If you wait for the enemy to attack, the price you pay is equal to taking the initiative to attack. As the saying goes, "live and travel, work and expenses are just waiting." This is Zhuge Liang's personal understanding, which is more objective.
At all times and in all countries, war is a military war on the surface, but in fact it is a logistics war, a protracted war and a comprehensive national strength war. What is the comprehensive national strength of Shu? There is a set of figures in the official history of the reflection, which shows that when Shu died, "there were 280,000 households, 940,000 men and women, 102,000 sergeants, 40,000 officials and more than 400,000 granaries (gold, stone? ), gold and silver each two thousand jins ... ". It can be said that the inventory has reached the point of sweeping bricks and seams, and it is a country's material reserve! As can be seen from the figures, on average, there is one soldier for every nine people and one official for every seven households. (According to: Today's politicians should learn from it! This situation was not much better even during Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition. So don't talk about "setting the Central Plains in the north and restoring the Han Dynasty". It's hard to protect yourself. It is no wonder that Zhuge Liang admitted: "Everything is so unpredictable that we will not rest until we die. As for failure, I am outspoken, which I don't know. "
Such was the situation in Shu, and Zhuge Liang also realized that Sima Yi, a politician and strategist who was intrigued politically at that time, certainly knew the situation in the other two countries around him like the back of his hand. He deliberately exaggerated the strength of the other side, alarmist, in order to firmly grasp the armed forces of Wei, in order to achieve his political goal-once the time is ripe, seize the political power of Wei.
What is the situation of Wei behind Sima Yi? As far as Wei is concerned, since Cao Cao occupied the land of the Central Plains, he has leveled all the dignitaries in the territory, pacified the north and reached the Liaodong Peninsula. By adopting the policy of stabilizing territory, reclaiming farmland, building water conservancy and developing agriculture, the productivity has been greatly improved, the whole territory has been initially stabilized, and it has gradually become the political center of the country. More importantly, although he was nominally the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, he actually firmly grasped the state power, unified power, and gave orders to the whole country in the name of Han Dynasty orthodoxy, which reflected the political talent of a politician. In the twenty-five years of Jian 'an, Cao Cao died, and Cao Pi was the founder of Wei on behalf of Han Dynasty. Seven years later, Cao Pi died, his son Cao Rui was Wang Wei, and Sima Yi was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the national armed forces-General A title of generals in ancient times. For a political careerist like Sima Yi, it is really a good opportunity to fall from the sky! However, according to Sima Yi's own measurement, the time to seize the Wei regime is not yet mature: Cao Cao died only seven years ago, and a group of loyal ministers are still there; His wings are not full; Imperial officials had a lot of doubts about themselves ... So, he retreated and wrote to Cao Rui to station troops in Xiliang. On the surface, it is defending Yong and Liangzhou, but in fact it is sticking to the army, supporting military minions and waiting for opportunities.
It was at this time that Zhuge Liang made his first northern expedition, and the "empty city plan" will also happen in this battle.
Zhuge Liang heard that Sima Yi was stationed in Harmony and Cool, and immediately realized that Shu was in danger, and advocated preemptive attack on Wei. When he was about to send troops, he used a double agent to get rid of Sima Yi, the number one enemy of Shu, which was decided by Zhuge Liang's suspicion of Sima Yi. As soon as this plan was implemented, it received immediate results. Wei Zaichao's ministers threw stones one after another: Sima Yi looked at the wolf and could not hand over the military power; (This is really where to start. There are trumped-up charges! ) Sima Yi ... ... knows the military strategy well, is good at knowing the military strategy, and is always ambitious. If it is not eliminated early, it will be a long-term disaster ... Finally, Sima Yi was relieved of the military power. A little trick actually made the commander-in-chief who commanded the national armed forces lose the military power, which shows the degree of suspicion of Sima Yi in Wei Guo Zhong. Sima yi accepted the ending by retreating, temporarily retired and waited for the opportunity. Sure enough, the news of Zhuge Liang's winning streak came ahead, and his son Sima Shi predicted: "The court will soon use his father." It was not until Zhuge Liang won three cities in succession and alarmed the Wei regime that Sima Yi was forced to regain the military power and won a decisive victory in the street pavilion. Zhuge Liang is just trying to empty the city. At this time, if Sima Yi catches Kong Ming, his use value will be finished, and the relieving he finally returned will be gone. Only a fool would do that.
Zhuge Liang set an empty plan, which was really a last resort. At that time, Zhuge Liang was surrounded by only 2,500 soldiers, plus a group of civil servants, guarding a small new city. Knowing that Sima Yi led 150,000 troops, all the people around him were eclipsed. Troop ratio: 1: 60! It is a foregone conclusion that the battle has not been won. Zhuge Liang knew it well and fled the city. Other150,000 soldiers swarmed in, and he was certain to die. We're going to make an adventurous design-it's death anyway-and maybe there's hope for life. As for Sima Yi, there are 150,000 soldiers, and ―― 150,000 is not a small number ―― they are not afraid of ambush. Even if the other party has the means to reach the sky, they can keep going. I believe that Sima Yi's inner struggle must be fierce when he was meditating at the gate: armies swarmed in and captured Zhuge Liang alive, making great contributions in the first battle. When he won the victory with the red flag, the Emperor of Heaven led hundreds of officials to meet him and held a ceremony to offer prisoners, which was extremely glorious. However, after the glory, the relieving will be lost. Not only is it impossible to seize Wei, but it is still unknown whether the head can grow in its original position. This is the usual trick of all rulers. In this regard, the wily Sima Yi is of course very clear that he decided after weighing badly; It is better to let Zhuge Liang go and leave an opponent who can't play a decisive role at all as a condition to ensure his legal existence. Sure enough, after Sima Yi returned to the DPRK, he took the opportunity to kill Cao, an important official of Wei State. Short-lived Cao Rui was emperor for only thirteen years, and his son Cao Fang became emperor. The regime basically fell into the hands of Sima Yi. Later, he got rid of Cao Shuang, another trusted official and Ye Chen's son, and planted cronies all over North Korea. At this time, twenty years after Cao Cao's death, Cao Cao's original confidant had almost died. Even if North Korea suspects him, there is nothing it can do. The time is ripe. Soon, his son officially proclaimed himself emperor, with the title of Jin and the history of Western Jin.
This summer vacation, I read The Romance of Three Kingdoms, which is an important literary masterpiece in the ancient history of China. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Luo Guanzhong at the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty on the basis of Chen Shou's History of the Three Kingdoms, Ye Fan's History of the Later Han Dynasty and the History of the Three Kingdoms in Yuan Dynasty. It records the major historical events and activities of historical figures in the past 90 years, shows the historical picture of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms, vividly reproduces this changeable and turbulent historical era, vividly reveals the intrigue, intrigue and collusion within the ruling group, and shows readers a wonderful and magnificent historical picture.
Among them, narrow-minded Xian Di, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, brave Zhang Fei, upright Guan Yu, Liu Bei, etc. are all extremely embarrassed. These characters gave me a deep education. Aside from these characters, what impressed me most was the heroes described in this book.
Let's start with Guan Yu. He refused to send Cao into Han, took a candle to Dan, rode a thousand miles alone, passed five customs and killed six generals, and the ancient city was beheaded. Later, Huarong Road released Cao Cao. He was loyal to his old master and surrendered to the enemy because of defeat, but as soon as he learned the news of his old master, he didn't know how far Wan Li was. I think coming back after defeating the enemy is not only loyalty, but also a rare loyalty. The method of expressing Guan Yu in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is also very simple: "The phoenix eye, the silkworm eyebrow, the face like a heavy jujube, the dragon crescent moon knife", and later added "the red rabbit horse", scraping the bone to cure poison without fear of pain, chopping Yan Liang and killing Wen Chou, almost becoming invincible in the world.
The rule of the country needs loyal ministers, and needs a loyal minister who can devote himself to death. This is Zhuge Liang. He is also my favorite character. Zhuge Liang is well versed in astronomy and geography, capable of writing and martial arts, and resourceful all his life. He set fire to a new field, borrowed the east wind, borrowed the arrow of a grass boat, inspired Zhou Yu with three wonders, cleverly put out an eight-array plan, cursed Wang Lang for death, captured Meng Huo seven times, set off an empty city plan, used seven-star lights, returned Sima Yi with a puppet, and killed Wei Yan with one move, which were unexpected by ordinary people. I thought this kind of person should look extraordinary, but the description in the book is simple: he is eight feet long, with a jade face and a black silk scarf. He has a unique personality. He chose the path of life and the main things. He was loyal to Liu Bei and Shu Han, and finally devoted himself to the great cause of reunification. "When he was defeated, he was ordered to take risks." With the tragedy of the decline of Shu Han, he also became a tragic figure!
Tell me about Cao Cao. Cao Cao was called a traitor in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He said that Liu Bei and he were contemporary heroes, which made Liu Bei afraid to listen, but he didn't kill Liu Bei, although Liu Bei was just a turtle in a jar. This made me feel Cao Cao's generosity, which Zhou Yu never dreamed of. Zhou Yu only sees Zhuge Liang, not swearing. As long as Zhuge Liang is killed, the world in Soochow will be peaceful. Later, I found out that Liu Bei was not an ordinary person, so I wanted to kill Liu Bei, at least leave him in Soochow, where the world was at peace. Short-sighted, narrow-minded, not a hero. This is also in sharp contrast with Cao Cao.
There is also the savior of Zhao Zilong Changbanpo riding alone, and Huang Gai was punished with risks and so on
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, we can also see that political groups are at loggerheads for their own immediate interests today, but tomorrow they will raise their glasses to celebrate each other. And this kind of struggle permeates many aspects of life, even family, friends, marriage and so on. Without exception, they are involved in the whirlpool of struggle and even become tools of struggle. In order to satisfy their desire for rights and property, and to keep themselves from being destroyed in fierce battles, they always play with various means and stage scenes of intrigue and intrigue.
There is no compensation for this kind of scheming. Merchants rack their brains to earn money from consumers; Liars cheat others of their property by hook or by crook. People can see how greed and lust for power dominate the relationship between brothers, couples and friends in society. People even try their best to steal and kill for money. Therefore, treacherous, cunning and scheming people will certainly become leaders of power. However, the heart needs a centerless machine to start. How can the world be peaceful if everyone is so cunning?
In a word, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms not only gives people the pleasure of reading and historical enlightenment, but also is a heroic epic for those who want to rule the world. Because of this, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is permeated with profound historical feelings and strong reflection in its majestic and tragic style.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms describes the situation in the Three Kingdoms period. Since Dong Zhuo was killed, the whole court has been in chaos, and everyone is striving to be emperor. In order to restore the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei invited Zhuge Liang. With the help of Zhuge Liang, they successively captured Jingzhou, Nanjun and Xiangyang. Sun Quan was bent on getting Jingzhou, so he tried his best to grab it. Zhuge Liang saw through one plan after another, so that Sun Quan lost his wife and general Zhou Yu and lost the battle. But it didn't last long. Soon Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all killed by Cao Cao, and soon Zhuge Liang died. At this time, the territory has been occupied by 8 Jin Army.
I think: Liu Bei is ambitious and quick to act. As long as he finds his goal, he will devote himself wholeheartedly, not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, and will certainly achieve it. I think of China's "Prince of gymnastics" Li Ning. Speaking of Li Ning, people always say that he is an extraordinary person, but Li Ning knows very well that he is just an ordinary person who never wavers after determining his direction. He believes that with perseverance and sweat, mentality and adaptability, whatever you do can be successful! After retiring, Li Ning turned to a new career: establishing Li Ning Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. Someone asked Li Ning, "Which is more relaxing and enjoyable, business or sports?" Li Ning said: "Nothing is easy to do well, but I am always happy." Yes, Li Ning always keeps a happy mood wherever he is.
In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I want to learn from Guan Yu's bravery. Zhuge Liang's wit, I should learn; Liu Bei's goal is not to give up, I want to study more!
1. "The Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes ..." When people mention this word, they will think of the four major.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms, one of the representative works. The full name of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which was compiled by Luo Guanzhong, a writer in the Ming Dynasty. As can be seen from the title, this novel is based on the History of the Three Kingdoms, but it is not as solemn as the official history, but an ancient vernacular novel. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms has become more artistic than the History of the Three Kingdoms. Below, I will comment on this 660,000-word masterpiece from several aspects.
I. Truth and fiction
The biggest difference between romance and official history is that romance is not true, but a novel. Everyone says that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a seven-point historical fact and three-point fiction, which is true. But fiction, using artistic methods to fiction, is not just that historical facts can be used for fiction. For example, Guan Gong killed Hua Xiong with warm wine, which is not recorded in the history books. Another example is about going to a meeting alone with Lu Su. History books say that Lu Su went to see Guan Yu alone. There are of course countless similar examples. After reading it, a little analysis shows that most of these fictional plots pave the way for the characters described in the novel. Because, if we only create real characters as the official history says, some characters are contrary to the author's political and ideological views. Moreover, while making fiction, the author also noticed the rationality and coherence of the plot, rather than making fiction stiffly, which is why he felt immersive after reading it. In a word, the author's writing in this respect is quite successful, and these plots also show part of the author's subjective wishes.
Second, deification and uglification.
The characters in The Romance of Three Kingdoms are not real characters, but processed characters in the official history, including deified characters and demonized characters.
The typical representatives of deified figures are Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu. Zhuge Liang was deified as an Oracle and Guan Yu was deified as a loyal man. Below, I want to briefly compare why the author focuses on deifying these two people.
Zhu was a famous Neo-Confucianist in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he thought he was the orthodoxy of the Three Kingdoms. Since Chen Shou, most of Zhu's previous views were based on Cao Wei. Since Zhu, kings, ministers and people have also begun to accept Zhu's point of view, because it conforms to Confucianism and can be accepted by the ruling class. Luo Guanzhong also agreed with Zhu. Therefore, most of his deified characters are loyal to the Han family. Among them, the author writes that Zhuge Liang is the embodiment of "wisdom" and Guan Yu is the embodiment of "loyalty" and "righteousness". This is why Daoguang ruler was influenced by The Romance of Three Kingdoms and gave Guan Yu posthumous title with more than 30 words.
As for uglification, it is basically apotheosis. For example, Zhou Yu, a hero in history, died young, but The Romance of the Three Kingdoms described him as a jealous man. Most uglification is set off by deification.
Third, people and clues
One of the great successes of The Romance of The Three Kingdoms is that it has successfully created many distinctive characters, such as Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Bei, Zhao Yun, Cao Cao, Zhou Yu and Mi Fei. The author embodies the distinctive characteristics of the characters through detailed description. For example, when writing Zhang Fei, in the seventieth chapter, the author made a detailed description and description of Zhang Fei's narrow-minded battles, and at the same time increased the dialogue between Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, showing Zhuge Liang's superb wisdom.
The reason why The Romance of the Three Kingdoms can properly handle many characters and their complicated relationships is that the author not only writes with the techniques of reality, emptiness, detail, omission, insertion and flashback, but also uses the literary techniques of narrative along clues. The main line of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the process of the establishment and demise of the Shu-Han regime until the three-point return to Jin, which is interspersed with clues. For example, during the period of Battle of Red Cliffs, the author began to narrate from three lines: Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao. These three lines are interrelated, and they will not only describe one or two clues in one chapter. If intertwined, readers will feel very coherent, rather than just looking at a clue.
Fourth, feudalism and kingship
One of the political ideas expressed in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is to advocate typical Confucianism-kingly way and benevolent government. A large part of the fictional stories in Romance of the Three Kingdoms are to express this idea. In this way, the author boldly created a series of artistic images of "loyalty" and "righteousness" in his works.
The first one is Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang described in Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the embodiment of loyalty and wisdom, especially the author's wisdom of Zhuge Liang, which is even more exaggerated.
Zhuge Liang, in the ruling group of the landlord class at that time, was a sensitive, courageous and resourceful person. However, he has these advantages because he attaches importance to practice. For example, Cao Cao captured Jingzhou and led his troops south. Zhuge Liang analyzed the situation to Sun Quan and predicted that Cao Cao would be defeated, precisely because Zhuge Liang compared the advantages and disadvantages of the enemy and ourselves before the war. For another example, Zhuge Liang dared to come up with an "empty plan" because he analyzed the situation of the generals of both sides and knew that Sima Yi knew that he was "cautious all his life and would never take risks", so he took advantage of Sima Yi's long-term understanding of himself and adopted a very "dangerous" plan to solve the crisis. However, in more chapters, the author wrote Zhuge Liang as a "prophet". For example, Zhuge Liang's Watching the Sky at Night and Rolling Up His Sleeves several times. In "Sacrificing the Wind at the Seven Stars Altar", it is an absurd description. Similar problems are also found in Eight Arrays, Half Stone Sacrifice to Lushui, Wu Ganxing and Dingjun Mountain Show the Sage.
Guan Yu is also a character described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the author's pen, Guan Yu also became a heroic and loyal hero in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from a military commander who was as famous as Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in the Three Kingdoms. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms beautifies Guan Yu in this way, which is completely advocating the feudal thought of "loyalty" and "righteousness". After the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu became a figure completely in line with the ideals of the feudal ruling class, and Guan Yu's influence among the people became wider and wider. The rulers of Ming and Qing dynasties called him "the Great Emperor" several times and built temples for him everywhere. This is very clear.
Guan Yu's description of "loyalty" and "righteousness" in Ming Dynasty was suitable for the needs of feudal rulers.
In addition, in order to advocate serving the feudal masters, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms also created a series of so-called "loyal ministers" images, such as Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu and Ji. In order to be loyal to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, they wiped out Cao Cao, a "national thief". "Although they wiped out the nine clans, they had no regrets". The author touted these people as immortal model figures. In addition, when writing characters such as Jiang Wei, he advocated feudal "filial piety" and when writing characters such as Mrs. Sun, he advocated feudal "festival". Therefore, the characters depicted in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms run through the author's social and political views.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) poetry and ode
Another great success of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the introduction of a large number of poems and songs. Although the number is less than that of A Dream of Red Mansions, there are many excellent works. Some poems are introduced to express feelings, while others appear in the singing or writing of characters. For example, "The sky is like a round cover and the earth is like a chess game ..." (Chapter 37), which was written by Zhuge Liang. Another example is, "Cao Cao is an adulterer, and Zhou Lang was cheated for a while ..." (45th time), which is the story that later generations lamented that Cao Cao was wrongly accused of killing Cai Mao and Zhang Yun. The first word "Linjiang Xian" is magnificent, which gives readers a sense of awe. After reading it, I have a feeling that I can't stop. At the end of the article, the poem "Antique" summarizes 660,000 words of the rise and fall of the Three Kingdoms in a century into a long narrative poem with only over 300 words. Although there are no flowery words, it is like a rhyming postscript, which leads readers to relive the situation of the Three Kingdoms. Its last few words even triggered the author's thinking and understanding of history: "The succession of things is endless, and the number of days cannot be avoided. The three-legged leg has become a dream, and future generations will complain. " Leave readers with infinite reverie.
In a word, The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the best of the four classical novels after A Dream of Red Mansions. Although some of these thoughts are worth discussing, they are of far-reaching significance to the Chinese nation.
2. Cao Cao is one of the most wonderful characters in The Romance of Three Kingdoms. Luo Guanzhong, the author, rated it as "a lean man in troubled times", denounced it, and deliberately compared it with Liu Bei, rendering feudal orthodoxy. I don't agree with this: behind the troubled times, Cao Cao is actually a "wizard who manages the world"
Cao Cao, whose name was Meng De, was a politician, strategist and poet in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Or, in a word, Cao Cao is a versatile writer.
Cao Cao's military ability is beyond doubt. At the age of twenty, he raised Xiaolian as an official, broke the yellow turban insurrectionary, captured Lu Bu, destroyed Yuan Shu, collected Yuan Shao and removed Ma Teng, and finally unified the North. Starting from the bottom, with real talent and practical learning, I worked hard in more than half of China, and I was in the limelight for a while. In particular, the battle of Guandu is still talked about as a classic example of "winning more with less".
Cao Cao's achievements in the literary world are beyond the reach of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. As one of the seven sons of Jian 'an, Cao Cao led the wind of Jian 'an and left us many excellent works! Among them, Watching the Sea, Although a turtle is a longevity, and Short Songs are the most famous. The famous phrase "Martyr's courage in his twilight years" embodies Cao Cao's persistent pursuit of his career and has been inspiring people, especially middle-aged and elderly people, for thousands of years.
Cao Cao can achieve great things, and his political ability should not be underestimated.
After gaining Dong Zhuo's trust, Cao Cao could have attached himself to Dong Zhuo for promotion and wealth, but instead of doing so, he dared to do what others dared not do and assassinated Dong Zhuo with a seven-star nod. In my opinion, this is the embodiment of Cao Cao's political foresight: seeking the world instead of Rong Lu. He knows very well that the thief Dong is perverse and cruel, and everyone hates him. Such a regime has no future-a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Cao Cao knows this well.
It is a very important move for Cao Cao to rise among the heroes in the future, recruit talents and make good use of talents. When the battle of Guandu was deadlocked, Cao Cao's thirst for talents was revealed. Xu You, an enemy general, came to Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao rushed to meet the enemy before he even had time to tidy up his clothes and shoes. This made Xu You extremely moved and surrendered: in Cao Cao's words, this is called "the mountains are never too high, and the sea is never too deep". The duke of Zhou vomited and the world returned to his heart. "This also shows that cao cao doesn't understand choose and employ persons. Also, when dealing with the contradiction between Yu Ban and Xia Houdun, Cao Cao did not favor Xiahou's paternal relatives, but put the overall situation first and selflessly supported the general. In this way, achieving maximum unity is a reliable guarantee for great achievements. In this case, Cao Cao wrote Xun You, Yu Xun and Guo Jia; With Coss, Dian Wei and Xia Houdun, Cao firmly occupied a place in the world. But some people think that Liu Bei is better than Cao Cao in employing people, which I don't agree with. Liu Bei, although he is also a famous soldier under his command, even a clever figure like Zhuge Liang, is full of small circles and individualism. However, Guan Yu defied the military order of "releasing Cao Cao" openly, but he was not punished; Zhang Fei drinks and makes trouble. He was robbed of Xuzhou by Lu Bu, but he remained calm. Putting the "buddy complex" of Taoyuan's sworn relationship above the political atmosphere finally developed into personal revenge, which violated the important and correct political strategy of "uniting Wu to resist Wei", and attacked Wu on a large scale, making Shu weak and declining.
After all, Cao Cao was a figure in feudal times. While he is brilliant, he also fully shows his sensitive, fragile, aloof and even jealous and suspicious human weakness. Therefore, we must pay more attention to the evaluation of Cao Cao's multiple personalities. Cao Cao offered his sword to Dong Zhuo. After the defeat, he went to his father's righteous brother Lv Boshe, suspecting that he would hurt himself and kill his family. He said: "I would rather let the whole world blame me than let the whole world blame me." When this statement came out, Cao Cao was notorious. Dong Chengmou led to her own heavy losses, and Dong Guifei was also implicated in the execution. Mi Heng scolded cao thief for being naked, and Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to stage a drama of impeded people. Yang Xiu guessed Cao Xin, and Cao Cao also killed him on trumped-up charges of shaking the morale of the army ... These endless examples show Cao Cao's suspicious, jealous and cruel side. However, careful study: people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes. In troubled times, Cao Cao is very talented in managing the world. He can do great things. Wouldn't it be a waste of genius to fall on a nobody like Lv Boshe? Moreover, the feudal rulers at the top of the temple were actually empty inside.
They are very afraid that others will challenge their position. They will not openly be more guilty than Mi Heng and Yang Xiu, but must kill them quickly. Therefore, Cao Cao must pay attention to everything, be more careful and have more tricks.
Cao Cao's success has its advantages. No matter how anyone comments on his fault, I will still say it in family-by-family terms: this is a necessary sacrifice for his great cause-although I will never follow in his footsteps.
They are very afraid that others will challenge their position. They will not openly be more guilty than Mi Heng and Yang Xiu, but must kill them quickly. Therefore, Cao Cao must pay attention to everything, be more careful and have more tricks.

Yes
