Cao Cao, the word Mengde, an auspicious, small character Apu, Peiguo Qian County (now Bozhou, Anhui) people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info an outstanding politician, military strategist, writer, calligrapher in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the founder of the Cao Wei regime in the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao was born in a family of eunuchs, "Three Kingdoms" called it the Han Prime Minister Cao Shen, Cao Cao's father Cao Song is the adopted son of the eunuch Cao Teng, Cao Teng served four generations of emperors, has a certain reputation, Emperor Han Huan was named Fei Tinghou, "Three Kingdoms, Emperor Wu Ji" said that Cao Song "can not judge its origins", and Pei Songzhi's note "Three Kingdoms" followed by the "Cao Concealment Biography" written by the Wu people of the Three Kingdoms said that Cao Song's surname was Xiahou, however, according to later generations of geneticists used DNA technology to extract the DNA of Cao Cao's descendants and Xiahou's descendants, It is not true to say this. However, the editor feels that the scientist's words are not credible, because just relying on a few genealogies does not mean that they are the descendants of Cao Cao and the Xiahou family, and many Chinese change their surnames in order to avoid vendettas. Cao Song inherited Cao Teng's marquis, and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant during the reign of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, Cao Cao conquered the Quartet in the name of the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, actively participated in the pacification of the Yellow Turban Army internally, eliminated the separatist forces such as Eryuan, Lu Bu, Liu Biao, Ma Chao, Han Sui, etc., and surrendered to the Southern Xiongnu, Wuhuan, Xianbei, etc., and unified northern China. It can be said that if there was no Cao Cao, I am afraid that the time of Wuhua Chaos would have been more than 100 years earlier, and Cao Cao employed people on the basis of meritocracy, broke the concept of the family lineage, recruited the middle and lower classes of the landlord class, suppressed the powerful and strengthened, and strengthened the centralization of power. Through the implementation of a series of policies, such as the implementation of tuntian, the construction of water conservancy, and the implementation of the system of official sale of salt and iron, he played a positive role in the social and economic recovery and economic rectification. After the restoration of economic production and social order, the social economy of the ruled areas was restored and developed. As soon as Cao Cao embarked on his official career, he tried to use stricter laws to change the situation of the rampant power and tycoon at that time. But because the root of the scourge is in the center, Cao is unable to carry out his intentions. It was only after he took power that he had to fully implement the rule of law policy of restraining the powerful and powerful. He said: "The husband is punished, and the life of the people is also"; "To eradicate the chaos of the government, take punishment first". He used Wang Xiu, Sima Zhi, Yang Pei, Lu Qian, Man Chong, Jia Kui and other local officials to curb the lawless and powerful. If we compare the governance techniques successively implemented by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in Jizhou, we can see two different situations: "At the end of the Han Dynasty, the government was lenient, and Shao was lenient and wide, so it was not taken." Under Yuan Shao's leniency policy, "the powerful and the powerful were arbitrary, relatives were merged, the people were poor and weak, they rented out their endowments, and showed off their family wealth, which was not enough to meet their orders." In this way, it is natural that "the people will be attached to each other, and the armoured soldiers will be strong." Therefore, although Yuan Shao had a larger land, more soldiers, and more food, he was eventually defeated by Cao. After Cao won Jizhou, he immediately "emphasized the method of annexation of the powerful and strong", so it received the effect of "pleasing the people". Sima Guang's statement that Cao "turned chaos into order" was not unfounded. Moreover, Cao does not pay attention to false reputation, and he chooses officials to "understand the law" and be able to practice the rule of law. Cao also advocated integrity, and he used Cui Yan and Mao Jue to control the election, "All of them are honest people, although they are famous at the time, and those who do not do it will not be able to advance." To be thrifty, the people of the world are not self-motivated by honesty, although the ministers of noble favors, public opinion does not dare to be excessive." The social climate has improved. On the whole, under Cao Cao's rule, the Yellow River valley experienced a certain degree of political clarity, a gradual economic recovery, a slight reduction in class oppression, and an improvement in social atmosphere. Some of the measures taken by Cao Cao in the name of the Han Dynasty had a positive effect. In terms of selecting talents: In the Han Dynasty, officials were selected, and the selected people should not only have feudal moral qualities such as benevolence, righteousness, filial piety, etc., but also have noble family backgrounds. In order to maintain and develop his power and let more people serve his cause, Cao Cao is not restricted by the above standards, emphasizing "meritocracy". As long as he has talent, even if he lacks feudal moral character and is from a lower class, he will pay attention to promotion. From 210 to 217, he successively issued three "merit orders" to select and appoint some talented people. Through these measures, the foundation of Cao Wei's founding was laid. When Cao Cao was alive, he served as the prime minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty, later the king of Wei, and after his death, he was called the king of Wu. His son Cao Pi was called the emperor, and he was posthumously honored as Emperor Wu, and the temple name was Taizu.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, the military strategists of the Three Kingdoms first recommended Cao Cao. Cao Cao showed a hobby and talent for martial arts in his early years, and once sneaked into Zhang Rang's house, and after being discovered by Zhang Rang, he escaped over the wall with a halberd in his hand and retreated. He is also well-read, especially fond of the art of war, has copied the ancient art of war, is proficient in the art of war, and is the author of "Sun Tzu's Brief Explanation", "The Book of War", "Mengde's New Book" and other books. There is also a commentary on the Art of War, the work of "Wei Wu Notes on Sun Tzu". Cao Cao studied the art of war, had advanced military theories, and was familiar with the works of Sun Wu, Wu Qi and other military strategists of the previous generation. The "Brief Explanation of Sun Tzu" was written by him, which created a precedent for sorting out and commenting on the thirteen articles of "Sun Tzu", and enriched and developed ancient Chinese military theory. He advocated the concept of war of "soldiers acting with righteousness" and emphasized that the division was famous and in line with morality. It is flexible in strategy and tactics, adapts to the situation, wins in any situation, and never tires of deceit. In terms of leading troops, he governed the army strictly, and the laws were strict, once on the march, Cao Cao ordered not to trample the wheat field with war horses, and if there was a violation, he would be beheaded. The soldiers dismounted and walked on foot, lest they trample on the wheat seedlings. But Cao Cao's war horse was frightened and trampled on the wheat field. He immediately drew his sword and cut off a handful of his hair as a punishment, which shows that the law is seriously enforced. The "Wei Wu Military Order", "Wei Wu Boat Battle Order", "Wei Wu Infantry Battle Order" and so on included in the "General Dictionary and Military Dictionary" also reflect his strict military orders. In terms of the use of troops, history called him "a marching division, which is more based on the law of Sun and Wu, and because of things, he will win against the enemy, and he will change like a god." More than 100,000 words of self-made military books, all the generals are engaged in new books, and the hands are modest, and those who obey the order are defeated. In a series of battles against Lu Bu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao, Ma Chao, Han Sui, etc., tactics such as attacking the east and attacking the west, avoiding the real and avoiding the false, ambushing, outflanking, raiding, dividing, robbing grain, attacking the other to save the enemy, and abandoning objects to lure the enemy are often used to win the enemy and turn the weak into strong. He was indeed an extremely distinguished military strategist. Li Jing's "Li Weigong Asks the Right Question" and He Qufei's "Dr. He's Preparation" and other works all praise Cao Cao's marching soldiers. In terms of imperial generals, Cao Cao was drawn out of the ban, Lejin was in the march, and Zhang Liao and Xu Huang were among the prisoners, all of whom made meritorious contributions and were listed as famous generals. Cao Cao was able to use his strengths according to the characteristics of the generals. For example, Xu Chu and Dian Wei were strong and powerful, loyal to the law, and Cao Cao let them fight as the front of the army, and rest to command the army; Zang Ba had a trust in the eastern soil, and Cao Cao entrusted Qing and Xu Erzhou to him, so that he could concentrate on dealing with Yuan Shao, and he did not have to think about the east; The general Wen Ping was originally a general under Liu Biao's account, and he was quite powerful in the Jianghan area, and Cao Cao appointed him as the Jiangxia Taishou, and entrusted him with side affairs to make the imperial grandson right. These activities laid a solid foundation for his later military career. Good poems, "Artemisia Lixing", "Guancang Sea", "Turtle Although Shou" and so on express their political ambitions, and reflect the suffering life of the people in the late Han Dynasty, majestic, generous and sad, prose is also clear and tidy, opened and prospered Jian'an literature, left a valuable spiritual wealth to future generations, known as Jian'an style and bones, and his son Cao Zhi, Cao Pi is called the third son of Jian'an. Lu Xun commented that he was "the ancestor of transforming articles". At the same time, Cao Cao is also good at calligraphy, and Zhang Huaijun of the Tang Dynasty rated Cao Cao's chapter grass as a "wonderful product" in "Book Break". His political exploits were also extraordinary.

Cao Cao also helped to save ancient Chinese culture – Cao Cao loved tomb texts and the study of the Six Arts. In the melee of the unification of the north, attention was paid to the protection and collection of books. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), after defeating Yuan Shao, he ordered "to collect all his treasures of books". After serving as the Duke of Wei, he set up officials in charge of the classics, widely collected the Eastern Han Dynasty official and folk books scattered in the war, and "collected the relics" and hid them in the three pavilions and the secretary province at home and abroad. Cai Yong's daughter Cai Wenji was also asked to talk about her book collection, and Cai Wenji "sent the book to it, and the text was correct". Because he attached great importance to the cultural construction of the country, he gradually established a national collection of books in the Wei state.

Regarding the address of Cao Cao's mausoleum, according to historical records, when Cao Cao was about to die, because he was a tomb robber, he dug the cemetery of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, and used the gold treasure of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, as the military salary, and exposed Liu Wu's naked body to the tomb, which became one of the crimes of Yuan Shao's crusade against Cao Cao. On December 27, 2009, the Henan Provincial Bureau of Cultural Relics announced that Gaoling was confirmed by archaeological excavations in the south of Xigaoxue Village, Anfeng Township, Anyang City, Henan Province, and finally found that it was indeed Cao Cao's tomb. Later, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage identified the owner of the Eastern Han Dynasty Tomb in Anyang, Henan Province as Cao Cao. In May 2013, Anyang Gaoling became the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

I believe that all the officials must be very strange, why the editor would write so many things about Cao Cao, because in the previous chapter, I didn't write that Cao Cao saw that Sima Yi was cunning when he was the king of Wei, and deliberately built seventy-two doubtful tombs in the Central Plains, and secretly built his mausoleum under the corner of Mount Tai, leaving a last word, warning future generations to guard against Sima Yi, if the destiny belongs to Sima Yi's descendants, then let the descendants escape next to their own mausoleum, and keep the family blood according to the pattern of the water. Cao Cao's grandson Cao Yi followed the last words of his ancestors and Xiahou Xuan's grandson Xiahou Qiu and granddaughter Xiahou Yuanfang fled to the corner of Qilu Taishan to avoid trouble. On the one hand, in order to prevent you from taking the novel as real history, so much Cao Cao was written. On the other hand, it also leaves a foreshadowing for the next chapter. Ladies and gentlemen, although this is a historical travel novel, the editor will still mix some private goods in it. Hehe! In addition, I am telling you that I am also a fan of Cao Mengde.
