Statue of Caocao Memorial Hall
Cao Cao's life is full of legends, not to mention his military talents. He is brilliant and useful, which is beyond many people's reach, regardless of his background. In addition, it can be seen from Cao Cao's will that he is strict with himself, not extravagant, and can also treat his merits and demerits in two ways, which is commendable.
After he went, a group of people followed him, such as Xiahou Brothers, Xun and others, who had a great influence on the reunification of the North after Cao Cao.
Cao Cao left a large number of short stories during the war of conquering the south and conquering the north, such as Quenching Thirst by Xun Mei, Cutting Hair and Borrowing Cao Cao's Head. These stories make future generations feel that he is good at intrigue, but they also show that Cao Cao is good at controlling the morale of the army and is a qualified coach.
However, after the defeat of Chibi in World War I, it also lost the opportunity to dominate the world, and it can only maintain a tripartite confrontation.
Cao Cao is from Bozhou, Anhui. In Bozhou, there is a Caocao Park. In order to commemorate Cao Cao and reflect the culture of the Three Kingdoms period, Bozhou * * * built a large-scale Cao Cao Memorial Hall in Cao Cao Park. The memorial hall is a third-order building imitating the Han Dynasty, including the life of Cao Cao, Wei Wu Temple and Sancao Poetry Gallery. Established in 2009, 20 10 was rated as a 3A-level tourist attraction. Adult 20 yuan tickets for children 10 yuan,1.2m below,1.2m to 65433 are free.
Cao Cao Memorial Hall reflects the culture of the Three Kingdoms from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty through Cao Cao's life, which is very worth seeing.
Seventy-two suspected graves refer to the mystery of Cao Cao's tomb. It has been many years since Cao Cao died, but the enthusiasm of later generations for studying Cao Cao's life has not subsided at all. There are still many people speculating about Cao Cao's tomb.
Cao Cao's seventy-two suspected graves
In the book The History of the Three Kingdoms, Chen Shou wrote that Cao Cao was thrifty all his life. Before he died, he made arrangements for his own affairs. He admired Ximen Bao's ability to handle affairs all his life and hoped to be buried in Pi City after his death. Cao Cao doesn't want future generations to mind their own business, and he doesn't want any luxurious funerary objects in the tomb. Later, Cao Cao and Cao Pi transported Cao Cao's coffin to Pi City for burial, and also announced the contents of Cao Cao's cemetery and Cao Cao's tomb. It is clearly stated here that there is no valuable treasure in Cao Cao's tomb, and they are advised not to waste their energy.
Mr. Luo Guanzhong wrote in Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Cao Cao was suspicious before his death, so he ordered his men to build seventy-two cemeteries in Wujiang Town, Zhangde, the so-called seventy-two suspected graves. Cao Cao was worried that he would be taken away by others after his death, so he built 72 suspected graves and covered up his real cemetery by covering up.
When future generations understand the history of the Three Kingdoms, most of them will read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in which many heroic stories are told in chapter by chapter, which makes readers daydream infinitely. It is precisely because of later generations' dependence on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Cao Cao really built 72 mausoleums.
This statement has been denied by archaeologists and historians. They did many researches and found that Cao Cao did not build 72 tombs. This statement comes from all kinds of books, just a legend.
Cao Teng, Cao Cao's grandfather, was a eunuch in the palace of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Emperor Shun of Han acceded to the throne, especially Cao Teng, who often gave Cao Teng something. Emperor Shun of Han not only took care of Cao Teng in his living habits, but also gave him something different. On the official career, Cao Teng also changed from a little yellow door to a servant.

Later, after the death of Emperor Shun, his two-year-old son, Emperor Chong, succeeded to the throne. Before long, the little emperor died. The ministers of the DPRK discussed the establishment of the emperor. There are two voices in court. One is King Qinghe as emperor, and the other is Herry Liu as emperor. When Cao Teng saw that the time was almost ripe, he found Liang Ji and said that he was willing to stand on Herry Liu's side and support Herry Liu and Liang Ji as emperors together. Later, with the support of Cao Teng, Liang Ji poisoned King Qinghe and successfully made Herry Liu emperor. When Herry Liu became emperor, he gave preferential treatment to those who supported him, and Cao Teng was promoted to Fei Houting. Cao Teng experienced four emperors in his palace, and everything was done perfectly.
Cao Teng adopted a son, that is, Cao Song, Cao Cao's father. After Cao Teng's death, Cao Song succeeded Cao Teng and became an official in the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, Cao Song is not as incorruptible as his father Cao Teng. Cao Song took advantage of his position and made a lot of money for himself during his stay in Korea.
Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, made a lot of money by virtue of his years of experience as an official in the imperial court. Later, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the court could buy officials with money. Cao Song took the money from his family and donated Qiu's position to himself. Cao Song is very satisfied with this position, so he will pay a lot of money to close it. And Cao Song at the end of the high, also ushered in his heyday in officialdom.
Whose wife did Cao Cao rob? Cao Cao made outstanding contributions all his life, which laid the foundation for unifying the North. Later generations greatly appreciated Cao Cao's military and political achievements. In addition to outstanding achievements, Cao Cao also had many wives and concubines in his life, and later generations also had a strong interest in Cao Cao's private life.
"Tongquetai" Cao Cao and his girlfriends
According to relevant records, Cao Cao married 15 wives and concubines in his life. In addition, Cao Cao has a large number of concubines. When Cao Cao saw beautiful women in the campaign, he would take them home to expand the number of his harem.
There is a soldier named Qin under Lu Bu. Qin's wife is very beautiful. She and Qin have a son named Qin Lang. After Cao Cao captured Pi City, he killed Lu Bu. Seeing that Qin's wife was delicious, he robbed Qin's wife and named her Mrs. Du. Before, Guan Yu also took a fancy to Qin's wife and repeatedly asked Cao Cao to betroth Mrs. Du to himself. Cao Cao saw that Mrs. Du was really beautiful, so he stayed with him. Later, Duff gave birth to Cao Lin and Cao Gun for Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was also good to his stepson Qin Lang, and he was also reused in Wei.
Cao Cao also robbed Zhang Xiu's aunt. When Cao Cao crusaded against Zhang Xiu, he took a fancy to Zhang Xiu's aunt. Zhang Xiu was very angry and pretended to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is very happy. Without much effort, he handed over Zhang Xiu and got a beautiful woman. One night, Cao Cao and his men were already asleep, and Zhang Xiu sent troops to Cao Cao's barracks for a surprise attack. None of Cao Cao's men expected such a situation, and the situation was very flustered. At that time, Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, and Dian Wei, a soldier, struggled to kill the enemy, but they could not resist the menacing Zhang Xiu army. Cao Ang and Dian Wei died in the battle of Wanping.
The Real Cao Cao Throughout the ages, how many official unofficial history described Cao Cao, from different angles, different aspects, there are good and bad, it seems that Cao Cao is a multi-character figure before our eyes. But what is the real Cao Cao like?

Cao Cao is Wei Wudi. He was a famous figure in the Three Kingdoms period, and now he is from Anhui. His nickname is Shun. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao seized the throne with his own strategy and courage, broke the separatist forces, and finally gradually unified northern China. In the north, Cao Cao cultivated land with far-reaching vision, which was not limited to the power struggle. He also vigorously built water conservancy projects, which not only solved the livelihood problem of the people, but also solved the problem of insufficient rations, killing two birds with one stone, thus making the north more prosperous, solving the problem of agricultural production and restoring the economy to a certain extent.
And Cao Cao is not a haggle over every ounce, self-centered person. He loves talents, but cherishes them. Because he was not born in a noble family, he appointed the middle class, which broke the concept of family status and suppressed the situation that the nobility monopolized the official market. At the same time, Cao Cao is a man of literary talent. He wrote Sun Tzu's Art of War and was good at martial arts and hunting. In terms of literary attainments, Cao Cao wrote famous works such as Looking at the Sea, which expressed Cao Cao's true feelings and the spirit of caring for the world, but also felt sorry for the people and their sufferings. But Cao Cao is also a lecherous. Cao Cao had more women than he could count in his life. Cao Cao also has his own unique methods in educating children. He encourages children to learn, and at the same time hopes that children can be upright and ask them to have good conduct.
Cao Cao, whose name is Meng De, is the founder of Wei regime. In his early years, he worked under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but Dong Zhuo sent troops to the capital and besieged Hanwang. Situ Wang Yun called ministers in the name of a birthday party to get rid of Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao volunteered to borrow Wang Yun's nod to visit Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo found out that the situation was not good and he was able to get out of trouble.

But in the end, Dong Zhuo discovered his intention and had to run away. Unfortunately, he was caught halfway, but Chen Gong let him go. When he fled all the way to his relative Lv Boshe's house, he misunderstood that he had to report it to the official who killed him. After learning the truth, he said, "I would rather teach me to be negative to the whole world than to teach the whole world to be negative to me." Chen Gong left angrily.
Cao Cao had to go to Liu Chen alone, exhausted his family wealth, and finally pulled up a team. Later, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and other eighteen-route governors crusaded against Dong Zhuo and defeated Lu Bu, the first general of Dong Zhuo, in Hulao Pass. However, the 18-route governors have their own opinions and do not pursue them. Later, under a series of tricks of Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo died tragically.
Li clashed with Chang 'an, and Cao Cao took the opportunity to enter Luoyang for rescue. Later, Sun Quan inherited his father and brother's hegemony in Jiangdong and made friends with Cao Cao. Yuan Shao learned that he was fighting Cao Cao with 700,000 troops, while Cao Cao had only 70,000 soldiers and horses. However, because Xu You, Yuan Shao's counselor, was not valued by Yuan Shao, he went to Cao Cao and offered to burn his nest.
Later, because Liu Bei entered the Xiajiang River, Cao Cao wrote to Sun Quan, hoping that he would surrender himself and fight Liu Bei. Because Zhuge Liang discussed Taoism with Confucianism, Sun Quan decided to go to war with Cao Cao, and the two armies confronted each other at Chibi. Later, because of the coup of Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, Cao Cao borrowed a straw boat to shoot arrows and set fire to Chibi, and Cao Cao was defeated. Cao Cao had to cultivate his anger, and then in Xuchang, Cao Cao threw out the queen and other dissidents to pacify Hanzhong. In order to wash away Battle of Red Cliffs's shame, he rose up and attacked Sun Quan twice, each winning and losing. Later, he had to give up, and then he became king himself, known as Wang Wei.
Guan Yu was defeated and killed in Maicheng. Sun Quan gave Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao, who worshipped Guan Yu very much and was restless from then on.
Later, because of the need to build a new palace, a sacred tree in Luoyang was cut down, and he became seriously ill, so he had to turn to the imperial doctor Hua Tuo. However, Cao Cao didn't believe Hua Tuo and thought that he wanted to murder himself and torture him to death. In the end, Cao Cao died of illness because of ineffective treatment.
