Some people may ask, why was Cao Cao able to coerce the Son of Heaven and finally break through from Yanzhou, the land of the four wars, and the surrounding princes who were eyeing each other?

It's an interesting question, and maybe we can explore a little bit about what may or may not be true

Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes' strategy successful, the first person to thank is our Dong Zhuo children's shoes.

Yes, Dong Zhuo's appearance is not just as simple as completely stepping on the majesty of the Han Dynasty, after all, whether it is Liang Ji or Cao Jie, Wang Fu or even the ten permanent attendants, what one of them did was not of much benefit to the Han Dynasty, after all, the emperor only relied on the dynasty to save Zài and not the other way around, so for the people, it was enough for them to know that the Han Dynasty was not good for them, after all, the emperor was too far away from them, and the family simply never took the emperor too seriously.

In fact, Dong Zhuo's greatest contribution to Cao Cao was that he dealt a huge blow to those who were not called vested interests, but were the largest political group after the death of the Ten Standing Servants and the Great General He Jin.

Yes, it seems that many people ignore these old people who have not had time to perform on stage for long before they have to take a curtain call for various reasons. Although because of the disaster of the party and other various natural disasters, the leaders of this group of scholars did not show how outstanding their martial arts were to govern and martial arts, but all the old masters who could survive in the maelstrom were treacherous and cunning old fritters, and if they fought with them in the field they were good at, Dong Zhuo had already set an example.

Although Cao Cao has excellent wisdom and an excellent team, his background has been a drag on him to step up to a higher level in politics for a long time, and Cao Cao is hard to guarantee that he will not become the second Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo's army strength can be called the best in the world after annexing the Luoyang Northern Army.

Even if it is Cao Cao's interior, will there be internal friction under the remote control of these old guys? After all, in addition to the two interdependent families of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, the origin of Cao Cao's generals can be said to be many, many holes.

After all, the saying that "the interests of the family are higher than a qiē" is not a joke in this era, and the scholars, who have been suppressed by the ruling class of the country for too long, have actually begun to become indifferent to the concept of the state, and the scholars can't wait to take power by themselves.

Therefore, Cao Cao should be grateful to Dong Zhuo and Li Dao and Guo Yan, who were Dong Zhuo's successors, and it was their "efforts" that completely dragged down a large number of elite old foxes of the Shi clan, and finally delayed the time when the Shi clan took power by decades.

It is precisely for this reason that Dong Zhuo became one of the top ten traitors in Chinese history. In fact, with what he did, it was not much different from Yu Wenhua and An Lushan.

On the one hand, Cao Cao was really eager to find enough talents to quickly restore and consolidate the territory under his rule, but on the other hand, he didn't hope to break the monopoly of the scholars on the bureaucracy and thus break the monopoly of the scholars on knowledge.

By the way, Liu Bei and Sun Quan did the same thing, and in order to ensure the consolidation of imperial power, they had to cut off those powerful local families, and at the same time, they could take the opportunity to free up more resources to reward their loyal men.

Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes' strategy successful, and the second person to thank is definitely his good friends Yuan Shao and Yuan Shanshan

Cao Cao's gratitude here does not mean that Yuan Shao gave up the opportunity to get the emperor, or should it be said that it was not only.

As a child of a family, Yuan Shao should have considered the pros and cons of obtaining the emperor very clearly, even if he didn't think about it enough, with the level of the group of strategists under him, it was enough to crumple a thing and feed it to him, with all kinds of construction.

In the end, Yuan Shao chose to give up the opportunity to blackmail the Son of Heaven and finally cheapened Cao Cao.

But is it really that simple?

I'm afraid that it may not be, and the grievances and entanglements between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, two good friends, obviously can't be so simple.

Thinking about the princes in history, Cao Cao's troops were the least, and even the princes didn't seem to be able to call it all the way, but more followed his other good friend Zhang Miao to act together, and the military supply also relied on him. This situation is actually like Liu Beizhi to Gongsun Zhan, but Cao Cao's reputation is much greater than Liu Bei's, and he is very familiar with the high-level of the coalition army.

is such a little bit of family background, because Cao Cao's fiery heart of being eager to make meritorious contributions and make a name for himself when he was young ended up almost all of them were accompanied by the battlefield where he pursued Dong Zhuo alone, and at the same time, he also lost Wei Zi, the son of the Chen Liushi family sent by Zhang Miao to help Cao Cao fight.

However, Cao Cao's unlucky days obviously did not pass, and then he asked for a letter from Yuan Shao, and then ran to Danyang with his cronies Xiahoudun and others to recruit troops. At that time, Chen Wen and Zhou Xin, the assassins of Yangzhou, had a good relationship with Yuan Shao, and Zhou Xin was one of the patrons who Cao Cao was able to pull up the team after escaping from Luoyang.

But when Cao Cao led the troops back north, something happened.

It has been said before that although the Danyang soldiers are elite, they worship the strong and have relatively average discipline, and there were Danyang soldiers in Cao Cao's previous team, but they were reimbursed by Cao Cao in the first battle, so presumably Cao Cao's reputation among the Danyang soldiers at that time was cold if not hatred. It is estimated that the Danyang soldiers felt that Cao Cao led them not to make meritorious deeds but to send them to death, and as a result, a fierce rebellion broke out in Peiguo Longkang.

Maybe there may have been a handful of Danyang soldiers who deserted before, so Cao Cao, an admirer of legalism, used heavy canons in the military camp, which made the Danyang soldiers, who were not very convinced by him, even more dissatisfied, and finally caused this rebellion.

However, perhaps it was also because he knew that the Danyang soldiers' feelings were not very stable, and Cao Cao did not dare to sleep well at night, so as soon as his camp was on fire, he was able to come out and kill people and finally put down the rebellion.

From this incident, it may also be able to support Cao Cao's classic sentence "I am good at killing people in my dreams" (laugh).

In the end, whether it was "more than 1,000 soldiers recovered" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Emperor Wu Ji" or "more than 500 non-rebels" in "Wei", anyway, it can be known that Cao Cao's losses this time were quite miserable, and finally he had to return to Hanoi, where Yuan Shao was stationed (this shows how important Hanoi is to the coalition army - Yuan Shao is in the north, Yuan Shu is in the south, Zhang Miao, Bao Xin, Liu Dai and others are in the east, and Dong Zhuo had to move the capital to avoid the sharp edge of the coalition army from three sides).

It can be said that Cao Cao has basically lost his roots as a poisonous force - no territory and few troops

So Cao Cao had to become a guest general under Yuan Shao like Liu Bei later, and he was followed by a few loyal subordinates who had nothing to do. and had to participate in some of the actions that Yuan Shao and Han Fu were afraid of by Cao Cao, such as supporting Liu Yu as emperor.

Look, who said that Yuan Shao didn't want to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he actually knew better than anyone else the benefits of the Son of Heaven in hand, but Liu Yu became the emperor, no name, no qiē, and all needed to rely on him Yuan Shao, and Liu Xie not only had a group of "patriotic and loyal ministers" around him, but more importantly, he gathered a group of miscellaneous military "nobles" such as Zhang Yang, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, Han Xian and so on, Yuan Shao finally drove away Lu Bu, and there was a Lu Yi under his hand who also made him uncomfortable, how could he invite a bunch of uncles?

Okay, let's continue to talk about Cao Cao...... and the story that had to be told between him and Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao was able to think that he was the only hero in the world when he was cooking wine with Liu Bei and discussing heroes, and in fact it was not just because he saw Liu Bei's ability, after all, Cao Cao's mouth was shocking, but in the face of Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and others, he would still show a worried look, which proved that Cao Cao definitely regarded these few as very troublesome opponents. What he really felt was his similarity with Liu Bei.

is also not from a good background (a descendant of eunuchs, one is a flat-headed commoner), and is also good at forbearance (Cao Cao succumbed to Yuan Shao's place, not to mention Liu Bei, floating for half his life), and also has a different kind of personality charm, and is also a grandmaster-level figure of belly black.

Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei as if he saw another self, so he praised Liu Bei and affirmed himself.

Well, it was originally intended to tell the story of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, but it turned out to be a secret that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had to say.

Cao Cao, who had been with Yuan Shao for a long time, finally waited for an opportunity, that is, the new Dongjun Taishou Wang Qiu, who succeeded the Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao who was killed by Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, obviously had no good way to face the powerful Montenegrin army, and was beaten to the ground.

It was also from this moment that Cao Cao's luck became better again, no, it can even be said that it was a little surprising.

It should be noted that the time of the Montenegrin Army's entry into the Kou led by Yu Poison and Bai Huan is basically the same as the time when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan had the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, although it cannot be said that this is the tacit understanding between Gongsun Chan and the Montenegrin Army, after all, there was a case of Gongsun Chan breaking the Yellow Turban Army in the Bohai Sea at that time, but this obviously means that at the critical moment of the battle for Jizhou, Yuan Shao had to face the embarrassment of two-line operations and even three-line operations (Gongsun Chan's appointment of Qingzhou Thorn Shi Tian Kai and the eastern front where Liu Bei was located in the Plains). So until this time, Cao Cao finally had the opportunity to lead the troops again. At this time, the soldiers under Cao Cao's command were probably either assigned to him by Yuan Shao or recruited by him under Yuan Shao's instructions or acquiescence, and it is estimated that Zhu Ling, a Qinghe man who originally belonged to Yuan Shao but had a very bad relationship with Yuan Shao, came to Cao Cao's command at this time.

So Cao Cao broke the white around Puyang, and forced Yu Poison away in the spring of the third year of Chuping, and broke the solid and Yu Fuluo. Then, step by step, with the help of Chen Gong and Bao Xin, he became the pastor of Yanzhou and annexed the late Bao Xin's forces, so that he finally stabilized his position.

By the way, Cao Cao's series of beautiful combination punches from the original down-and-out general to Dongjun opened up the situation, and I am afraid that one or two people are indispensable, that is, Liuxiang Xunyu and the mysterious drama Zhicai.

Especially Xun Yu, it's hard to say whether Cao Cao's ability to get the opportunity for Poison Li to send troops to Dongjun is with the help of this person, after all, don't look at Xun Yu from the Xun family of Yingchuan, but his wife is the daughter of Tang Heng, who used to be a regular servant, although Xun Yu, a young man who became famous, will not be destroyed by the political whirlpool, but it is really hard to say whether those who envy and hate will maliciously slander him because of this, at least Xun Yu is not happy with Yuan Shao, who likes celebrities, Maybe he was able to hit it off with Cao Cao at first sight, and this sense of identity also played a big plus role.

At this time, Xun Yu is estimated to be still in Jingzhou, Guo Jia is still alchemy at home, Cheng Yu has just been recruited by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao's core model team is the oldest and most accredited by these two people, so Xun Yu's status has always surpassed all Wenchen, and Xi Zhicai has become one of Cao Cao's good memories (and his successor Guo Jia has also become a good memory, these two ...... ）。

It can be seen that Cao Cao's identity in the era of the princes' melee at the beginning was not the princes of Poison, but subordinate to Yuan Shao but the Poison Li was a little stronger, but because of his relationship with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao's main target and enemy was Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army (the former is troublesome, the latter is hateful, because the latter once broke through Yecheng, if it weren't for the traitors in the team, it is estimated that Yuan Shao and his family members would be taken hostage), Therefore, in order to ensure that Cao Cao had the ability to fight against Yuan Shu in the south and Tao Qian in the east, he acquiesced in his various moves to expand his power and strength.

And this can be seen from the fact that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined forces to attack Liu Bei of Tun Gaotang in the third year of Chuping, Shan Jing of Tun Pingyuan and Tao Qian of Tun Fagan, and in the spring of the fourth year of Chuping, they successively defeated Yuan Shu, who was completely defeated by Sun Jian and finally lost to Liu Biao, and drove them to Yangzhou.

Later, when Cao Cao was basically lost to Yanzhou by Lu Bu, Yuan Shao immediately expressed his hope that Cao Cao would come back and follow him, and Cao Cao had no resistance to this, but he gave up because of Cheng Yu's dissuasion. Although it is not ruled out that this is a decadent expression of Cao Cao's discouragement, Yuan Shao, who can make Cao Cao willing to follow, obviously has considerable weight in Cao Cao's heart, or Cao Cao may have the ambition to make a comeback with Yuan Shao's help.

The reason why I talked so much about the entanglement between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao above is to lead to the following topic, that is, why Yuan Shao made such a decision in his attitude towards Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty.

In addition to the above-mentioned fear that those vested interest groups will eat away at their own power and finally succeed in counterattacking, I am afraid that there is another reason because the emperor did not fall into the hands of others, but fell into the hands of Cao Cao!

Why?

The biggest advantage of coercing the Son of Heaven is to use the Son of Heaven's signboard to attract talents, and second, to use the name of the Son of Heaven to subdue other princes.

For the first benefit, Yuan Shao was basically no longer needed at that time, and even from a certain point of view, as the most promising leader of the family to win the world, Yuan Shao was not worried about the lack of talents at all, but worried about how to deal with the internal friction between the talents he already had. Yuan Shao is not an unassertive person, otherwise he would not have developed from a concubine to the most powerful prince in the world at that time, but the problem is that the talent strength of his subordinates is not weak, and every word sounds very reasonable, so when Yuan Shao has neither an absolutely trusted strategist nor a clear strategic goal, but also wants to take the best of the best, Yuan Shao will have a tragedy. But no one has ever said that Yuan Shao is short of talents.

Yes, even the storage of Zài like Xun Yu and Guo Jia has not been reused, which shows how fierce the competition within them is.

As for the second point...... Okay, is there a difference between the emperor in his hands and Cao Cao, who is his appendage, for Yuan Shao?

Well, there may be a difference, that is, in Cao Cao's hands, Yuan Shao not only does not have to bear the disadvantages brought by the emperor, but also can enjoy the advantages brought by the emperor, after all, in his eyes, who does he want to fight, as long as he says a holy decree to Cao Cao, won't it be automatically delivered?

Not to mention that Yuan Shao had no fundamental conflict of interest with Cao Cao before completing the unification of the four states of Hebei, and the two major temptations (asking for grain and grass and dissatisfaction with the official position) received relatively good responses, so Yuan Shao was naturally happy.

As for the rumors that Nakata Feng admonished Yuan Shao and said, "Attack Xu early, if you coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the four seas can be determined" will definitely not have an appetite for Yuan Shao - yes, maybe the speed of unification will be faster, but are those people Yuan Shao who surrendered or the Han Emperor? It's easy to eat too much and too fast. Think of our Fu Jian and President Jiang Da of the Republic of China.

In fact, until the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao's chances of winning were still not small - even if Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao in the south, he still had to face the attacks of Liu Bei in the Runan area and other forces that were inextricably linked with the Yuan family; Although Zhong Xuan stabilized Ma Teng and Han Sui in the west, he still needed to maintain a certain number of troops, after all, "Han Jiuqu" was too famous; In the east, because the military discipline of the Qingzhou army was too poor, it was estimated that they were basically thrown to Zang Ba, who had great autonomy in Qingxu, although Zang Ba blocked Yuan Tan's offensive, but if Cao Cao lost in the main battlefield, he would definitely not be loyal to Cao. It can be said that only the accidental death of Sun Ce in the southeast is really good news for Cao Cao, and in addition to several other aspects, Cao Cao still has a lot of energy.

As for Cao Cao, it was infiltrated by Yuan Shao very strongly, even if many of them were just the habitual gestures of favor by the powerful family, but if they could be effectively used, they could still bring a lot of benefits to Yuan Shao.

Just the end result...... Yuan Shao is obviously only a bachelor's level, or even if he was a doctor of Houhei, his too smooth career has degraded his knowledge from the doctorate level to the bachelor's level.

Not only did not give full play to all the advantages of his side, but let Cao Cao gradually eat away, and in the end, the generals with more straight brains in Yuan Shao's Guandu camp were all dead, leaving two more flexible brains, and finally couldn't stand the habit of those celebrities in Yuan Shao's camp to dump each other and chose to protect themselves, and drew the last end to the battle of Guandu.

At least at the level of His Majesty, Cao Cao really threw off Yuan Shao three streets.

Therefore, Cao Cao was able to coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes and succeed, not only because the coercion of the Son of Heaven could bring a lot of benefits to Cao Cao, but also benefited from the Western Liang Army to help him filter the interest groups around the emperor, and at the same time, in the important period of his development, the north was not only not an enemy but a friend, and the west was uninterested because Luoyang was a scorched earth, and only the remaining two directions could allow Cao Cao to use the emperor's means of vertical and horizontal striking, and finally grow into a great Wei state with two thirds of the world in Yanzhou, which was attacked on all sides.

Of course, when the Cao family's territory was large enough, they no longer needed the name of the Son of Heaven as a shackle on their heads, and as a result, Cao Pi completely kicked the emperor away without surprise, ending this long-lasting history.

This is the truth that Li Shi thinks that Cao Cao can coerce the Son of Heaven to make the princes succeed.

Note: The above is purely Li Shi's personal opinion, if there is any similarity, it is purely coincidental.
