Cao Cao.
Capture the thief first and capture the king, and kill the chicken to show the monkey.
Cao Cao greeted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and asked Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to issue an edict to Yuan Shao, blaming him for "the land is vast and there are many soldiers, but he specializes in forming a party for personal gain, and he has not heard that the army rescued by King Qin has been dispatched, but he has only crusaded against each other without authorization." Yuan Shao wrote a book, deeply condemning and justifying.
After a stick, he was given a date, and Cao Cao appointed Yuan Shao as the lieutenant and the Marquis of Ye.
Yuan Shao was ashamed that his official position was under Cao Cao, and he was furious, saying: "Cao Cao was about to die several times, but I saved him, and now he is holding the Son of Heaven hostage to give orders to me!."He refused to accept it. Cao Cao was frightened and asked to grant Yuan Shao his position as a great general. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty appointed Cao Cao as Sikong and acted as the general of the chariot cavalry.
Why did Cao Cao specifically pick Yuan Shao, the biggest prince at the time, to issue an edict to blame?
In fact, Cao Cao's purpose in doing this was to pick the biggest princes to show the people of the world.
Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and now he is just to show the small princes and make them all obedient, so do you have to find the biggest prince?For example, Yuan Shao.
As long as Yuan Shao is soft, it is equivalent to saying. The big princes like Yuan Shao have listened to my Cao Cao's words, and those small princes have to be even more obedient.
Cao Cao first took Yuan Shao to open the knife, that is, to capture the thief and capture the king first, and kill the chicken to show the monkey.
