After combing Cao Cao's wives and concubines, you will find that this person's aesthetics are somewhat deformed.

Don't talk about modern people, even the Han Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago, those powerful and ordinary people like young women, or women who have no marriage history.

The main thing is that such a woman has no "reference" in her heart, you become her husband, her husband is what you are, she will not compare you with anyone, compare this aspect, compare that aspect, no matter how big or small, it is easy to compare, a woman who is not married is a blank piece of paper, a piece of pure land.

And women who have had emotional experiences are much more complicated, just the opposite of the first daughter;

And Cao Cao has a very deformed aesthetic in our opinion: he likes to marry other people's wives. and it was not a show, but a dignified marriage to them and their wives.

Cao Cao married more than ten wives in his life, several of whom were the wives of his defeated generals, and Cao Cao took a fancy to her husband after his death.

After these women married Cao Cao, they did not have a low status because they had been other people's wives, on the contrary, Cao Cao was quite fond of them.

Mrs. Bian was originally a Maiko, although she was not married, but she was already a veritable woman, and there was more than one man who believed it, Cao Cao fell in love with her at first sight, and gave birth to Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and Cao Xiong after marriage.

Cao Pi said that the emperor and Mrs. Bian also became the queen mother.

Another one is Mrs. Yin.

Mrs. Yin was originally the wife of He Jin, a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After He Jin was killed by the Ten Standing Attendants, Cao Cao married Mrs. Yin and adopted Mrs. Yin's son He Yan.

and Qin Yilu's ex-wife Du Shi.

Qin Yilu was originally Lu Bu's general, but when he was sent to Yuan Shu, he was detained by Yuan Shu and married and had children, and the Du family became a flower without an owner.

Originally, Guan Yu took a fancy to him, and before the war, Guan Yu begged Cao Cao, saying, "I don't want anything after I beat Xia Pi (pī), I want this woman", and I was afraid that Cao Cao would forget, so I went to Cao Cao many times to remind him, which made Cao Cao suspicious, I don't know how beautiful this Mrs. Du is, so that Guan Yunchang, who has always been arrogant and empty-eyed, willingly bowed down under her skirt, and I have to go and see it myself.

What Guan Yu didn't expect was that after seeing Mrs. Du, Cao Cao couldn't control himself, and betrayed the promise he made to Guan Yu, and came to a prelude to take the Du family for himself.

Mrs. Du also has a son named Qin Lang, who was also accepted as a righteous son by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is also quite good to Qin Lang, and often shows off in front of others, saying, "Who of you sees that there is a better person in this world than my godson?" ”

Qin Lang was not a mediocre person later, he was also a good general in the Wei State, and he once led his troops to fight against the Turks in the north.

If the above are normal, the mistakes made by Zhang Xiu can't be as open-minded as Cao Cao.

After Zhang Xiu's uncle died, Zhang Xiu took over his uncle's family.

Due to his weak strength, he felt that he could not resist Cao Cao, so he chose to surrender under Jia Xu's persuasion.

On the day he entered the city, Cao Cao drank wine, thought of a woman, and asked his nephew if he could get him a beautiful girl?

Cao Cao's nephew said to Cao Cao, "Zhang Xiu's aunt is very beautiful."

Cao Cao was naturally very happy when he heard this, so he occupied Zhang Xiu's aunt.

Zhang Xiu was very angry when she found out, her uncle and aunt were occupied as soon as she died, and she felt that she had been greatly insulted. In a fit of rage, he rebelled and avenged his uncle, and immediately made a plan to attack Cao Cao at night.

What Cao Cao didn't expect in this battle was that because of his greed, many people paid a heavy price for him, and his beloved general Dian Wei was outnumbered with his bare hands because he was stolen from his halberd, and was shot to death by random arrows in order to protect Cao Cao; His son Cao Ang was also killed by Zhang Xiu. His nephew, who had a bad idea, also died in the chaos, and Cao Cao almost lost his life, and at the same time, he also experienced the most embarrassing moment in his life in addition to "defeating Huarong" and "cutting his beard and abandoning his robe".

It's really a knife on the head of the color word, and countless hooligans bend their waists. ”

But that's it, Zhang Xiu later surrendered again, Cao Cao still didn't kill him, and made Zhang Xiu an official.

…… ……

In addition to the above, there are also Cai Wenji, Jiangdong's Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Cao Cao also thinks about them and thinks about them from heart to heart.

Don't think that the "Copper Bird Spring Deep Lock Er Qiao" mentioned in "Bronze Bird Fu" was deliberately framed by Zhuge Liang in front of Zhou Yu, if you really think that Cao Cao said it unintentionally, it is a bit too naïve.

Speaking of which, some people can't help but wonder, as the overlord of one party and Cao Cao, who is above 10,000 people, what kind of beauties can't be found, why do you prefer to marry those married women?

The reason why Cao Cao has this hobby naturally has his reasons.

In ancient times, it was popular to marry early, and women began to marry when they were only thirteen or fourteen years old, although they were mothers, some were only in their teens, and they were only in their twenties.

Twenty-something is undoubtedly the most beautiful time for a woman's body in all aspects, not the old pearl yellow we imagine, the kind of old woman in her thirties and forties.

And the ancient marriage system is not so conservative as we think. It is normal for a woman to divorce and remarry her husband, and the so-called "from the beginning" of women only began to prevail in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The purpose of warfare in ancient societies was to plunder the land, possessions, and to possess their women.

Therefore, in their eyes, it is also a very honorable thing to marry the wife of a defeated general.

There is another reason that cannot be ignored, that is, the continuous war, the population resources have been greatly reduced. Among them, the majority of deaths were young and middle-aged men.

This creates an embarrassing situation in which there are more women than men.

And these young women who have lost their husbands are in the prime of childbearing, no one marries them, and they stay alone in the empty house at a young age, which is not only not conducive to social stability, but population growth will also be a big problem, even in modern times, without people, no matter how developed the economy is, it is impossible to become a strong country, let alone in the era of cold weapons.

There was no substitute for the importance of population during the war years.

In order to have a sufficient supply of soldiers, it is necessary to encourage the people to have more children and increase the population, so as to have an inexhaustible army, to do this, it is necessary to find a husband for the widowed woman, Cao Cao took the lead in setting an example, so that everyone in the world can see, I Cao Cao is willing to marry a widow as a wife, what reason do you have to dislike a married woman?

The result is an upward and downward effect, and the problem of slow population growth will be solved.

Another point is possessiveness and a sense of victory.

Defeating an opponent, or even killing an opponent, is it a complete victory?

In Cao Cao's opinion, there is not, only by taking possession of the opponent's wife can it be regarded as a complete victory.

Did Cao Cao ask his opponent's wife which one was stronger than her past husband?

I think there will be.

Women will naturally say that you are so powerful! When Cao Cao heard this, he could have a feeling of victory.
