Every time lü bu is mentioned in the Three Kingdoms period, many people think of labels attached to him. For example, the three surnames of the family slave, the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms and so on. Lü Bu played an important role during the Three Kingdoms period. For example, he had taken Liu Bei's Xuzhou and almost killed Cao Cao. However, although Lü Bu was said to be the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms, his ending was not good. After Cao Cao captured Lü Bu alive, he first ordered someone to hang him to death, and then he was beheaded. For this wave of operations of Cao Cao, many people do not understand. Why did Cao Cao let Lü Bu "die twice"?
In 199 AD, Lü Bu finally fell into the hands of Cao Cao because of the betrayal of his generals. Although Lü Bu and Cao Cao had a deep hatred, Lü Bu still hoped that Cao Cao could spare himself, after all, he was the first fierce general of the Three Kingdoms. If I can do the work of anyone. This person may unify the three kingdoms. Lü Bu's words did have great allure, which also made Cao Cao ponder for a long time. At this time, Liu Bei happened to be at Cao Cao's side. Liu Bei was very afraid that Cao Cao would have Lü Bu, a fierce general. So, He added fuel to the fire and said some bad things about Lü Bu. Eventually, Cao Cao changed his mind and executed Lü Bu.
Regarding Cao Cao's method of executing Lü Bu, many people did not understand. In fact, don't underestimate Cao Cao's method of executing Lü Bu, there is a deep meaning behind it. First of all, although Cao Cao said that he was holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes, he was still a minister of the Han Dynasty and held the position of the Third Duke. Lü Bu was given the title of "Marquis of Wen" by the Han Dynasty. If Lü Bu was to be executed, Cao Cao had to act in accordance with the system of the Han Dynasty, and according to Lü Bu's identity, there would be a method of Lü Bu's death when he was hanged.
However, the tyrants in the back have some personal vendettas. First of all, Cao Cao had to take a breath of evil qi first. Because Lü Bu had almost killed himself, if it were not for Lü Bu's "blindness". There was no Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms for a long time, which made Cao Cao lose face and hold a bad breath in his heart. Therefore, when the execution of the hanging was completed, Cao Cao ordered someone to take Lü Bu's head once again.
Secondly, Lü Bu also has the effect of knocking out the mountain and shaking the tiger. During the Three Kingdoms period, the princes of various places occupied one side. At that time, Lü Bu was also a prince of one side, and his strength could not be underestimated. Cao Cao deliberately told the other princes that people like Lü Bu had been killed by me, and that the others had better know each other and submit as soon as possible.
