Cao Cao has made many heartfelt friends in his life, of course, for various reasons, he also turned against many close friends and broke up, and finally became a life-and-death enemy. Among these friends who eventually broke with Cao Cao, Zhang Miao's experience is very representative.
Zhang Miao's rebellion is nothing but unpredictability. Presumably, even the variable of the dice in the Macau casino is far from the hearts of the people, Zhang Miao betrayed Cao Cao, but he asked for a whole body to retreat.
Zhang Miao became famous very early, and ranked among the eight chefs in the party. In the process of discussing Dong, it can be said that the Hebei side was headed by Yuan Shao in Hanoi, and the Jingyu side was stationed in Nanyang under the orders of Yuan Shu. Although the sour jujube coalition on the Yanzhou side did not clearly indicate the leader of the allied forces, it was from "Kuang Shao and Cai Yongshan. In his year, he was defeated by Zhuo's army, returned to Mount Tai, collected thousands of people, and wanted to join Zhang Miao. "Look, the sour jujube is likely to be at the behest of Zhang Miao. After all, Cao Cao lost in Xingyang, and after giving tactical advice again, the Three Kingdoms also said that Miao and others could not be used.
After Liu Dai's death, Cao Cao herded Yanzhou with the support of Yuan Shao, and it can be said that Zhang Miao came from behind. Originally, it was almost impossible to use Cao Cao's prestige status, but now Zhang Miao needs to obey Cao Cao's orders. There is a sentence in the Legend of the Three Kingdoms: "Although General Cao is based in Yanzhou, he has a plan for the Quartet, but he has not been able to sit and defend it." And Zhang Fujun first has to be determined to stay in Chen, I am afraid that I will change and make intermittent work, and I want to avoid it with you. ”。Or not long after Cao Cao pastored Yanzhou, Zhang Miao began to disobey Cao Cao.
Yanzhou is the beginning of Cao Cao's hegemony, and it is rare to see Cao Cao appointing local celebrities as special drivers in Yanzhou at the beginning of Yanzhou, and such an important position in governance. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the norm for local wealthy families and celebrities to control state and county officials. Zhang Miao is a representative of Yanzhou celebrities. There will inevitably be dissatisfaction with this phenomenon. And Cao Cao's killing of Yanzhou's famous scholar Bian Rang will definitely make the people of Yanzhou feel at risk.
Zhang Miao chose to ask Yuan Shu for help after the failure of the Yanzhou Rebellion, but it was not without Yuan Shu that Yuan Shu had already won over Zhang Miao, who was dissatisfied in his heart. After all, the official Yanzhou assassin Shi Jin Shang assigned by the imperial court was also Nanyi Yuan Shu after Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou first.
Even if Cao Cao treated Zhang Miao with a pure heart, and said, "If I don't pay it back, I will go to Meng Zhuo." But for Zhang Miao, the situation is different in all aspects of development. It is also reasonable to collude with Lü Bu to rebel.
Another reason is that Zhang Miao was unwilling to be subservient, seeing that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were getting more and more powerful, and he also wanted to have his own power, so he launched a betrayal of Cao Cao and led Lu Bu into Yanzhou, trying to occupy Yanzhou together, so as to break away from Cao Cao and achieve his own power. It's like the co-founders of some companies nowadays who break away from their original companies and start their own businesses.
