In the sixteenth year of Jian'an (211), the general of the expedition to the west, Xiahou Yuan, went out of Hedong, and all the generals in Guanzhong rebelled.

Cao Cao's expedition to the west of Guanzhong, Cao Ren was the general of Anxi, and the governor-general refused to defend Tongguan, and broke the ten princes of Guanzhong headed by Ma Chao and Han Sui in Weinan.

At that time, Hejian Sub Bo and Tian Yin, Cao Ren then carried out the general of Xiao Cai, and the governor of the seven armies to break Tian Yin and others. Cao Cao Fu used Cao Ren to march to the south general, fake the festival, and traveled to Fancheng, taking on the important task of guarding Jingzhou.

During the period of guarding Jingzhou, Cao Ren was relatively comfortable, and his family was not in the palace, and the chronic illness of the youth reappeared, and in his yafu, he raised several women, and when he drank, he let these women dance for him naked—how could they be so good at Cao?

But on the surface, Cao Ren gives the impression of being at ease, until he finally takes a fancy to a woman.

This woman's surname is Liu, and it is said that she is a member of the royal family, and he let this woman follow the army and has lived in peace since then. As a result, Cao Ren gave people the impression that he was particularly law-abiding and a good example for the whole army and the whole country to learn.

When Cao Zhang, the Marquis of Yanling, went north to conquer Karasuma, Cao Pi wrote a letter to admonish Cao Zhang, saying, "If you are a general, you should obey the law, shouldn't you be like the general of Zhengnan (referring to Cao Ren)?" ”

…… ……

In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), Hou Yin rebelled in Wancheng, plundered thousands of people from nearby counties, Cao Ren led the army to break the rebels, beheaded Hou Yin, and returned to Fancheng, and was appointed as the general of Zhengnan.

Later, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng, when the Han River swelled and overflowed, Yu Ban and other seven support armies were all submerged, and Yu Ban surrendered to Guan Yu. Cao Ren led thousands of soldiers to defend the city, and the water flooded almost the entire city. Guan Yu attacked the city by boat, surrounded several layers, and there was no news between the city and the outside, and there was little food left, but the reinforcements had not yet arrived.

Cao Ren inspired the courage of the soldiers and expressed their determination to defend the city to the death, and the soldiers were moved by his spirit and devoted themselves to defending the city. Soon, when Xu Huang arrived with reinforcements, the water gradually subsided, Xu Huang attacked Guan Yu from the periphery, and Cao Ren was able to break through and finally repel Guan Yu.

…… ……

Cao Pi ascended the throne of Wei, worshiped Cao Ren as the general of the chariot and cavalry, commanded the military of Jing, Yang and Yizhou, entered the title of Chen Hou, increased the number of 2,000 households, and the total number of 3,500 households in the front, and returned to Tunwan City later. During this period, the woman surnamed Liu always followed him and acted as his military wife.

Sun Quan sent the general Chen Shao to occupy Xiangyang, Cao Ren was ordered to crusade, defeated Chen Shao with Xu Huang, entered Xiangyang, and sent the general Gao Qian and other uncivilized people who migrated south of the Han River to the north of the Han River.

In the second year of the early Huang dynasty (221), Cao Pi worshiped Cao Ren as a general.

He also sent Cao Ren to behead the rebel general Zheng Gan, move to Linying, move to Sima, and the governor's army was stationed on the Wujiang River and returned to Hefei.

In October of the following year, Sun Quan rebelled, and Cao Piqin led a large army from all walks of life to attack Wu, and sent Cao Ren to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to attack Wu's Wetsu (Battle of Wetsukou). Jiang Ji attacked Xianxi and successfully lured the enemy's commander-in-chief, Zhu Huan, to send reinforcements to Xianxi.

At this time, Cao Ren had tens of thousands of foot cavalry, while Wu commander Zhu Huan only had 5,000 soldiers and horses.

Therefore, Zhu Huan decided to wait for work and said to his subordinates:

"When two armies face each other, the victory or defeat depends on the ability of the generals, not on the number of soldiers. Let's take a look at Cao Ren's use of troops. How can Cao Ren's commanding talent be compared to my Zhu Huan? The Art of War says that the defender can resist several times the enemy's army with only half of the army, which here refers to the fact that on the plains where the city cannot be relied upon, the victory or defeat depends on whether the soldiers are brave and whether they advance and retreat consistently.

"Now, Cao Ren is not both wise and brave, and his army is timid, traveling thousands of miles, and the men and horses are tired. And we defend the city wall, the south of the river, the north of the mountains, to wait for work, to the main control of the guest, this is the victory of a hundred battles. Even if Cao Pi came with the strength of the whole country, there was no need to worry, not to mention, it was only Cao Ren and these incompetent people who were attacking now!"

So Zhu Huan died down, disguised himself as weak, and lured Cao Ren to attack.

Cao Ren really hit the plan, sent his son Cao Tai to raid the city of Weixu, and sent the general Chang Diao to supervise Zhuge Qian, Wang Shuang and others, and in the morning took an oil boat to attack Zhongzhou, which is where Zhu Huan's wives and children are.

Cao Ren personally led 10,000 men to stay in Togao as a backup for Cao Tai and others. Jiang Ji objected to Cao Ren's approach, but Cao Ren did not listen to Jiang Ji's good words.

Zhu Huan, the commander of the Wu side, personally resisted Cao Tai and sent the general Yan Gui to attack Chang Diao and others.

In March, the result of this battle was that Zhu Huan broke Cao Tai, and then broke Chang Diao, resulting in Chang Diao being beheaded and Wang Shuang being captured. Among them, the Wei army's Chang Diao all the way, only the soldiers killed in battle (excluding the wounded, and the seriously injured dead) reached more than 1,000 people, so they had to retreat.

Soon after Cao Ren suffered defeat, he died at the age of fifty-six.

When Cao Ren died, the woman surnamed Liu was next to him, and after his death, the woman surnamed Liu did not return to Cao Ren's mansion, and her deeds did not end.

On the fifth day of the first year of Qinglong (233), Cao Ren and Xiahou Xuan (dū

Cheng Yu was courteous to Cao Heng's sacrifice in Cao Cao's temple court because of his merits.

…… ……

Cao Ren was such a general in Cao Wei's camp: he was never on the frontal battlefield, but he always silently provided security for the frontal battlefield and reduced the risk of accidents.

He is Cao Cao's strategic scavenger, the layout of the big bodyguard, and the Pacific insurance that Cao Jun must buy in every battle, and he is a supplementary chess in Go. You must know that this kind of thing is rarely groundbreaking, not obvious, and not exciting, but it is an important means to make up for the omissions, and it is absolutely necessary.

His role is not to do anything, but to prevent something from happening and suppress the hidden danger before it happens. Cao Ren could not guarantee victory, but he could guarantee that Cao Cao's chess form would not collapse in the worst-case scenario.

…… ……

When Cao Cao beat Tao Qian, Cao Ren did not lead the way, and Lu You, the general who was responsible for clamping down on Tao Qian, attacked all the way through the counties, attacked Pengcheng, and created opportunities for the main force.

You must know that after Cao Cao finished fighting Pengcheng, the battlefield situation was very good, but he had no food and could only retreat. It can be seen that Cao Jun was also close to the limit at that time, if Cao Ren had not swept the counties, in case there were some demon moths on any way and delayed Cao Jun's retreat, maybe the momentum of victory and defeat would be reversed.

When Cao Cao went to Puyang to fight Lu Bu, Cao Ren was not to lead Liu He, who was responsible for attacking Juyang all the way.

Juyang is in the southeast of Puyang, just south of Juancheng.

Facts have proved that this move was made up in a very timely manner, Cao Cao could not beat Lu Bu, and Juancheng could be returned. Imagine that if Cao Ren did not destroy the hidden danger of Liu He, it is likely that Liu He would take advantage of the main force of Cao's army to attack Juancheng when it pounced on Puyang, and Cao's army would have no place to stand when it retreated.

When Cao Cao fought Zhang Xiu, Cao Ren was in charge of Beibian County and acted as a strategic reserve. When Cao Cao's battle was unfavorable, he made up for it in time to avoid collapse.

When Cao Cao beat Yuan Shao, Cao Ren beat Liu Bei and Han Xun to the south to ensure the stability of the rear and the grain route, so that Cao Cao could focus on Guandu.

When Cao Cao beat Ma Chao, Cao Ren didn't lead the way and directly pressed Tian Yin, who responded to Ma Chao, to death, so that Cao Cao could focus on Tongguan. If there is no Cao Ren's partiality to respond, I am afraid that the variables will be greatly increased.

Chibi was newly defeated, the coalition army was strong, and Cao Ren defended Jiangling, allowing Zhou Yu to return in vain.

Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, shocked China, and frightened Cao Cao to move the capital, Cao Ren defended Fancheng, resisting death and not retreating, which won valuable time for instigating Jiangdong's diplomatic means and dispatching Xu Huang's corps.

Defending the city twice, Cao Ren was in a very harsh strategic situation, and there were few resources, and his task was not to destroy the camp and break the formation, but to maintain the battle line and let the main force win the opportunity to adjust.

Some people think that Cao Ren is very cowardly, and that is because Cao Cao's professional positioning of Cao Ren is not a human nest, but a working nest. Cao Ren is like a cleaner sweeping the street, no matter how hard he cleans, pedestrians don't think it's good, but once he doesn't sweep, he immediately sees that he can't do without him.

Therefore, it doesn't matter what position you are in, as long as you can fight for the interests of your boss, then you will become a celebrity in the eyes of your boss. Cao Ren did just that, so he went all the way up.

In the company, you may just make up for chess with one hand and not see earth-shattering achievements, but it does not mean that the boss does not pay attention to you.

Is merit important, or is it important to be valued by the boss?

You have to think about this clearly.

…… ……

The last of Cao Wei's 21 famous civil and military generals was Xiahou He.

Xiahou He, year of birth and death unknown, the word Yiquan, a native of Peiguo (Qiáo now Bozhou, Anhui), the seventh son of the famous general Xiahou Yuan. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei Chen, Emperor Wei Yuan served as Xiangguo Zuo Sima and Shilang. In the first year of Xianxi (264), Wei rebelled after the destruction of Zhonghui, and at this time, Xiahou Hezheng sent an envoy to Chengdu to boycott Zhonghui. Zhong Huiping, named a townsman. After the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, he was Guangluxun.

There is no record of which battles he participated in on the Internet, and there is no text about the woman associated with him. I tried to find it from other channels, but I couldn't find it, so I had to abandon it.
