Cao Cao, a generation of heroes, unified the north, built the Tongque Terrace, and collected the beauties of the world. His unique taste is staggering, and he even likes to rob other people's wives. According to historical records, he robbed a total of three more famous wives: Yin, Du, and Zou.
Yin is He Jin's daughter-in-law, who was favored by Cao Cao because of her beauty, and received it together with her and He Xian's son He Yan. He Yan was favored by Cao Cao, and when he became an adult, he married Princess Jinxiang, the daughter of Cao Cao and Du. Later, when Cao Shuang was in power, he vigorously promoted He Yan, which led to the complete decline of the Cao Wei clan, and the Sima family replaced the Cao family to establish the Western Jin Dynasty regime.
Du was the wife of Qin Yilu, a subordinate of Lu Bu, who was favored by Guan Yu because of her beauty, and asked Cao Cao to marry her to himself after conquering Lu Bu's army. However, after Cao Cao saw Du, he took her for himself and loved her. The Du clan played a role in Liu Bei's departure from Cao Cao, causing Qin Yilu and Guan Yu to also leave one after another. Cao Cao felt guilty for robbing Guan Yu of Guan Yu's love, and showed mercy to his subordinates several times.
Zou is Zhang Xiu's aunt, who was favored by Cao Cao and included in the account because of her beauty. Zhang Xiu thought that this was a great shame for his family, and planned a rebellion attack to kill Cao Cao. As a result, Cao Ang and Dian Wei died in chaos, and Mrs. Ding hated Cao Cao deeply because of Cao Ang's death and died depressed.
Although robbing these wives brought some bad effects to Cao Cao, he also took over the maiden forces of these wives as well. In general, robbing a wife is more beneficial than disadvantageous for Cao Cao.
