Preface. As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the monarch and the minister are in trouble, most of the courtiers, accompanying the king is as dangerous as accompanying the tiger, the monarch and the minister are harmonious, do not suspect each other, trust each other, and can do this, it can be said that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
Especially when you encounter a male protagonist like Cao Cao who has a suspicious personality and likes to be suspicious, it is even more difficult to mix, and if you don't get it right, you will be calculated by Cao Cao, and lose your name.
Therefore, if you want to have no worries about your life, the best way is to see through Cao Cao as soon as possible, so as to avoid stepping on the minefield accurately and ensure that your name is worry-free.
So who were the first people to see through Cao Cao? What happened to these people?
Sima Yi got the way.
To say that in the Three Kingdoms, the people who know Cao Cao best may not be Cao Cao himself who knows himself best, but Sima Yi who knows Cao Cao best, but has been certified by Cao Cao's son Cao Pi for the praise of the five elements.
We all know that Cao Cao is suspicious, usually inconspicuous, and does not like to show his true thoughts, and the same is true for Cao Cao in terms of ligu.
This has given rise to the dispute between the princes, mainly Cao Zhi and Cao Pi are competing with each other for the position of the prince, if you look at it overall, Cao Zhi's advantage is still quite big, and his personal literary style is quite good, the famous seven-step poem, which is Cao Zhi's production, which is enough to prove his literary talent, and Cao Zhi is also quite appreciated and loved by Cao Cao.
Compared with Cao Zhi, Cao Pi is not so good, he is usually inconspicuous, and he is more stable, so many people are optimistic about his character and stand on Cao Pi's side.
And this competition for the crown prince, during which it was naturally full of bloody storms and conspiracy, there was one incident that made Cao Pi panic and didn't know how to deal with it.
At that time, in Cao Cao's camp, there was a person named Huang Kui who wanted to rebel and took the opportunity to ** Cao Cao, but as a result, this person was also a lack of heart, and he did it silently by himself, so he had to tell people everywhere and tell his concubine about it.
As a result, Huang Kui didn't know that he had a green hat on his head, and his concubine had already secretly cheated behind his back and fell in love with Huang Kui's brother-in-law Miao Ze.
Although this relationship is a bit chaotic, one thing to know is that this Miao Ze has always wanted to take Huang Kui's concubine as his own openly, and now he has caught the handle of Huang Kui's vain rebellion, and he must have put Huang Kui to death, so he told Cao Cao the secret of the rebellion.
This is unbelievable, rebellion is a big crime, Cao Cao is a suspicious person by nature, such a whistleblower, no one wants to have anything to do with this unlucky yolk Kui.
After learning the news, Cao Pi cried, if he wants to talk about the relationship, he really can't get rid of the relationship with this Huang Kui, because this Huang Kui was Cao Zhi's guest at the beginning, so the opponent's friend must be his friend, so as to effectively weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness, so Cao Pi became friendly with this Huang Kui and wanted Huang Kui to be his eyes and ears.
As a result, this Huang Kui is bold, and now he is thinking about murdering Cao Cao, now it's okay, Cao Cao checked a little, and he knew that he Cao Pi and Huang Kui were close, and Cao Cao would think that it was he Cao Pi who saw that Cao Cao was not establishing the prince for a long time, and he was in a hurry, so he arranged a **, so as to usurp the throne directly.
No matter what, he Cao Pi can't escape the relationship, he can't escape death, of course, before he dies, he must still struggle, Cao Pi thought about it, and thought of Sima Yi, Sima Yi is so smart, there must be a way to redeem.
So in order to win a glimmer of life, this Cao Pi hurriedly ran to Sima Yi to find a way, but after Sima Yi learned about it, he didn't panic at all, hey, what a big deal, he knows Cao Cao best, and he can easily think of a way.
First of all, the first point, this Sima Yi knew that Cao Cao was suspicious and would not easily believe anything no matter what, so Sima Yi taught Cao Pi and let Cao Pi kill him and not admit it, no matter what Huang Kui said, as long as Cao Pi bitten him to death has nothing to do with me, then Cao Cao will be indecided, I don't know if what he said is true.
Because although Huang Kui is good friends with Cao Pi, he doesn't want to, he is also Cao Zhi's protégé, and he usually has a literary exchange with Cao Zhi to cultivate his sentiments or something.
So as long as Cao Pi doesn't admit it, then Cao Cao will wonder if this is Cao Zhi's means of separation, first let Huang Kui and Cao Pi get close, and then let Huang Kui rebel and use this big crime to kill Cao Pi.
It was precisely by relying on Sima Yi's teaching that Cao Pi, who had just been cornered, suddenly stopped panicking, and suddenly realized that he knew how to face Cao Cao, and he also survived this catastrophe smoothly.
Later, whenever Cao Pi was frightened by Cao Cao, he would consult Sima Yi and ask Sima Yi to help him answer questions, and Sima Yi was also very powerful, helping Cao Pi solve his doubts one by one, Cao Cao's problems were very cleverly solved by Sima Yi, and it was precisely because of this that Cao Pi successfully won Cao Zhi, turned the tables against the wind, became the crown prince, and ascended the throne.
Among them, Sima Yi's credit is not small, it all depends on him to see through Cao Cao and know Cao Cao's thoughts, so that he can plan the correct route step by step.
And Sima Yi knew Cao Cao very well from the beginning, and knew that if he did things well under Cao Cao's hands, then there would be no good end, and Cao Cao would always be afraid of him, and he would not reuse him after all.
So when Cao Cao was still there, Sima Yi would always leave three points of leeway when doing things, neither publicizing nor appearing incompetent, and always in a just right position, so that Cao Cao couldn't handle it.
And Sima Yi endured most of his life, survived until Cao Cao grew old, and survived Cao Pi's vigilance against him, and finally slowly exchanged for the Cao family's trust in him, and exchanged these trusts for great power, and then directly seized the Cao family's country and successfully proved his own path.
Chen Gong saw through Cao Cao's evil.
If Sima Yi saw through Cao Cao's suspicion, then Chen Gong saw through Cao Cao's treachery, and when the two met, they were actually quite appreciative and had a good impression.
At that time, Cao Cao, the assassination of Dong Zhuo failed, in order to save his life, he could only be forced to flee, and during Cao Cao's escape, he was coincidentally caught by Chen Gong, who was an official.
But he didn't want to, after Chen Gong caught Cao Cao, not only did he take Cao Cao, but he was also willing to become Cao Cao's brother, and he even wanted an official position, so he wanted to die with Cao Cao.
There is no other reason, Chen Gong is a person with great ideals and ambitions, he has long been unhappy with the Dong thief who caused trouble, and now Cao Cao can act righteously, he has done what Chen Gong wants to do but does not dare to do, such Cao Cao is simply a big hero image in the eyes of Chen Gong.
So he would rather not be prosperous and rich, but also follow the hero in his mind and make a career together, just like that, the willows and flowers are bright and another village, Cao Cao thought that the gas was exhausted, but there was a flashback and got a turnaround.
Under the cover of Chen Gong, the two successfully took out the prison and began their fugitive careers again, always running like this, Cao Cao felt that it was not a solution, so after thinking about it, Cao Cao decided to go to his father's old friend Lu Bohao's house.
After this finally ran away, Lu Boyu was also very popular, and hurriedly opened the door to welcome, and even in order to entertain Cao Cao, he also planned to go to the town to buy a bottle of good wine, and catch up with Cao Cao, and at the same time did not forget to order the subordinates in the family to kill the pigs, and there was wine and meat to eat fragrantly.
As a result, Cao Cao, who finally settled down, heard the sound of killing pigs and sharpening knives, and instantly panicked, he was suspicious by nature, and he couldn't help but think crankily at the slightest hint of trouble.
Under his brain, his good uncle Lu Bohao betrayed him and planned to exchange his head for reward, so he immediately decided to strike first, get rid of all Lu Bohao's family, and then run away quickly.
On the way back, Cao Cao met Lu Bohao, who came back from buying wine, and then he knew that he had eliminated the wrong person, but he did not feel the slightest guilt, but in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, in order to prevent future troubles, the innocent Lu Boyao was also wiped out.
Seeing such a ruthless person, Chen Gong couldn't accept it, he thought Cao Cao was a big hero, but he didn't expect it to be a treacherous villain, and Chen Gong also disdained to be with him.
Later, in order to get rid of Cao Cao, a treacherous villain, Chen Gong also tried his best, but after all, his ability was limited, and he was not Cao Cao's opponent, and became Cao Cao's defeated general.
At that time, Cao Cao gave Chen Gong a chance to continue to work for him, but Chen Gong, who saw through Cao Cao's treachery, would rather die than serve Cao Cao.
Yang Xiu's death. Yang Xiu, who also knows Cao Cao best, is different from being others, he directly sees through Cao Cao's thoughts, and whatever Cao Cao writes, Yang Xiu can accurately guess Cao Cao's thoughts.
Of course, this is not a good thing, Cao Cao's character is more suspicious, he is a lord, if Yang Xiu guesses everything, then his authority will decline significantly, and he will run to ask Yang Xiu about anything, so in order to continue to lead the team, Cao Cao also decisively ordered to get rid of Yang Xiu.
Conclusion. There were many smart people in the Three Kingdoms period, and there were many people who could see through Cao Cao, but even so, it was difficult to end up with a good end, because sometimes, being too smart would not do any good.
For Cao Cao, what he likes more may be a general like Xu Chu, who has no head and no brains, and only knows how to protect Cao Cao wholeheartedly with Cao Cao, such a person makes Cao Cao, who has a suspicious personality, feel a lot more at ease.
