Cao Cao's law of killing is revealed
Cao Cao killed many people, but his killings were often unexpected; There are people he shouldn't have killed, but he did; There were some people he shouldn't have killed, but Cao Cao did.
The murder of a firefighter is a case in point.
Cao Cao lived in Yecheng in his later years, and handed over the affairs of Xudu to Shi Wangbi, the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Wang Bi was entrusted with the important task of Xu Du, which shows Cao Cao's trust in him.
Cao Cao was not in Xudu, and the young governor Geng Ji, the prime minister Wei Huang, and the imperial historian Ji Ben led the rebel army to capture Xudu and took the opportunity to capture Emperor Xian of Han. The rebels, with more than 1,000 men and servants, attacked Wang Bi at night and burned the city gates. Wang Bi was shot by an arrow and died a few days later.
After Cao Cao learned of Wang Bi's death, he was furious and summoned all the ** of Xu Du to Yecheng, the firefighters stood on the left, and those who did not fight the fire stood on the right. Everyone thought that the person who put out the fire was innocent and would stand on the left, but Cao Cao made a surprising decision, he killed all the **s standing on the left, and said:"The people who don't put out the fire are not chaotic, and the people who put out the fire are the real thieves.
Cao Cao's actions were ridiculous, and the firefighters turned out to be thieves and robbers.
Actually, it's easy to understand. When the rebels surrounded Wang Bi in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could anyone put out the fire in such a large-scale rebellion? It's not that they dare to stay at home, or they have to go to quell the rebellion, but they will never put out the fire, so it is actually the rebels who put out the fire.
From this point of view, Cao Cao's killing, although brutal, was not entirely without reason.
In the Wang Bi incident, Cao Cao killed too many people, but there were some people he should have killed, but Cao Cao did not kill them.
The first is"Wei"Font.
When Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian in Xuzhou, he was attacked from behind by Lü Bu, and Lü Bu entered the sedan chair in Yanzhou. Most of the defenders of the city surrendered to Lü Bu, leaving Cao Cao with only three cities left. Cao Cao said after knowing it"Only Wei Chong will not betray me.
But as soon as Wei Chong passed, he was immediately punched in the face. Cao Cao was furious and vowed to kill Wei Chong. Cao Cao quelled the rebellion and captured Wei Chong alive, but instead of killing him, he appointed him as the Taishou of Hanoi.
There is also a person named Bi Chen, who is Cao Cao's"Don't drive", similar to today's secretary general, because of the high position, and the ability to drive, so it is called"Don't drive"。
When Lü Bu attacked Yanzhou, he also captured Bi Chen's family. Cao Cao called Bi Chen and said:"Go find your family. "After hearing this, Bi Chen immediately knelt down and burst into tears, saying that he did not hesitate. Cao Cao was moved to tears and deeply satisfied.
Who knew that Bijin was an artist, and as soon as he entered the door, he immediately ran to Lu Bu. Cao Cao was ridiculed, and tears flowed in vain.
When Cao Cao put down the rebellion, Bi Chen was also caught, and just when everyone was worried about him, Cao Cao unexpectedly released Bi Chen. Cao Cao's reason was that Bi Chen was a good son, and such a person was also loyal and reliable.
Cao Cao killed people like crazy, and Hua Tuo was undoubtedly the most undeserved one.
Cao Cao suffered from a head disease and asked Hua Tuo to treat him. After Hua Tuo's examination, he told Cao Cao that there was no cure for this disease, and he could only recuperate slowly. With Hua Tuo's help, Cao Cao was cured of his headache.
But Hua Tuo was a famous doctor of a generation, and he didn't want to stay by Cao Cao's side for a long time, so he asked Cao Cao to go home to take care of him on the grounds that his wife was sick, and Cao Cao agreed to his request.
After Hua Tuo left, Cao Cao's head was uncomfortable again, and Cao Cao asked people to visit Hua Tuo, but Hua Tuo didn't come several times in a row. Cao Cao sent someone to find out if Hua Tuo's wife was really sick, and Hua Tuo's lies were exposed. Cao Cao, of course, was furious, so he killed Hua Tuo with honor. Of course, Xun Yu knew the importance of Hua Tuo, so he made a proposal to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not listen to the advice and still killed Hua Tuo.
Hua Tuo's death was not good for Cao Cao. Hua Tuo's death also meant that Cao Cao's life was coming to an end, and he finally fell silent due to headaches.
Postscript. Cao Cao killed countless people in his life, went on a killing spree, and pardoned those who should have been sentenced to death. Cao Cao sometimes inexplicably killed some people who were certain to die, but Cao Cao mercifully let them live.
This is Cao Cao's law of killing.
