In 155 AD, during the reign of Emperor Heng of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a major figure who would influence the political situation at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was born, he was the famous military, politician, and literary Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was born into a family of scholars, and his father Cao Song succeeded his grandfather Cao Teng as a knight, and finally became a lieutenant of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Teng was one of the ten permanent attendants, with great power, because he had no heirs, so he adopted Cao Song, and Cao Cao also had a family, that is, the Xiahou family, which was the descendant of Xiahou Infant who accompanied Liu Bang of Han Gaozu to fight the world, and Cao Cao, who had a prominent family, was destined to be extraordinary.
Cao Cao was a hot-blooded literary youth from the beginning.
The young Cao Cao liked to dance with knives and guns, and while practicing a good skill, he often studied and studied the art of war, which in ancient times was called both literature and martial arts. Although the young and crazy Cao Cao had good abilities, Cao Cao's innermost thought was to serve the country and finally become an official, the typical idea of a hot-blooded teenager.
In 174 AD, the 20-year-old Cao Cao was promoted to filial piety and then entered the dynasty as an official, which was the age of the wind, and the hot-blooded Cao Cao was full of passion, vowing to serve the country well and fight against corrupt officials. Cao Cao was the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, which was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and during the time of the Second Emperor Hengling, the Eastern Han court was faint and unscrupulous, the eunuchs were rampant, and corrupt officials were everywhere. After Cao Cao arrived at office, he issued a ban, if there was a violation of the direct rolling stick to death, at first everyone was not right, the emperor's favored eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle violated the prohibition of night travel, violated the regulations, Cao Cao's five-colored stick was directly killed, this time let everyone in Luoyang be in awe, but also put himself in the political whirlpool, Jian Shuo and Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng were all red people around the emperor, Cao Cao finally had to leave Luoyang, and retreating with his whole body was the best ending.
In 184 AD, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and the Eastern Han Court recruited Cao Cao as a knight lieutenant, at this time the spirited Cao Cao was finally able to realize his wish, and defending the country was the ultimate goal of a soldier. In 188 AD, Cao Cao was made a lieutenant of the military academy by the Han Ling Emperor, and a year later the Han Ling Emperor died, the eunuchs endangered the imperial court, and the hot-blooded Cao Cao had been seeking ways to save the country.
After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he quickly took control of the imperial government, using powerful political and military power to elevate the emperor, and also deposed the emperor and established Chen Liu as the emperor of Han. This kind of toying with the imperial court made Cao Cao, a hot-blooded young man, very indignant, and he took the sword into his arms overnight and entered Dong Zhuo's mansion to prepare to assassinate Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo's life should not be extinguished, and Cao Cao had to change to a sacrificial knife, and finally The Peach died.
In 190 AD, Cao Cao issued an invitation to attack Dong Zhuo, and various princes came one after another, a total of eighteen princes, gathering hundreds of thousands of people, with a strength equal to Dong Zhuo's, and they allied with blood to recommend Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, as an ally to jointly attack Dong Zhuo, the most powerful at that time.
Such an alliance was originally a heroic gathering, a grand move to jointly defend the country and overthrow the powerful ministers, but I did not expect that the eighteenth road princes had their own selfish intentions, Dong Zhuo burned down the houses in Luoyang and moved west, the eighteenth road princes did not dare to march to Guanxi for a decisive battle, Cao Cao was enthusiastic and went west alone to fight dong Zhuo, and finally lost himself and was injured. During the recuperation period, Cao Cao also advised all the princes to fight dong Zhuo together to serve the country, but all the princes had their own small calculations and did not send troops to attack. In the end, Cao Cao finally saw the nature of these princes, they and Dong Zhuo did not put the country in the first place, only thinking of their own side, they are all the same in their bones, Cao Cao then left this cold-blooded alliance, and since then Cao Cao has changed in his heart, if you want to change the fate of the country, you must have enough strength, this strength can not rely on others, can only rely on yourself.
So Cao Cao wrote the sad words: There are righteous soldiers in the Kanto Region, and the army is rising to fight the crowd.
In the early days, the heart was in Xianyang.
The combined forces of the army are uneven, and the geese are hesitant and marching.
Snobbery makes people fight, and they fight each other.
The title of Huainan Brother, engraved in the north.
Armor gives birth to lice, and all surnames die.
White bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken chirping for thousands of miles.
The people of life are left behind, and the thoughts are broken.
When the times create heroes, Cao Cao must become a tyrant in the chaotic world, otherwise I don't know how many people will be kings, if in an peaceful world, Cao Cao may be a loyalist with blood boiling to the end.
