Brief introduction of Cao Cao

Cao Cao (155-220) was born in Pei County, Wei Wudi (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province). The word Meng De, alias Ayun. Politicians, militarists and poets in the Three Kingdoms period. His father, Cao Song, was the son of Cao Teng, the eunuch of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Teng is a eunuch hated by the public; His father, Cao Song, used the golden pheasant to buy the prominent position of Secretary of Defense. These two things made Cao Cao very reluctant. However, being born in this eunuch family also makes him misbehave and sometimes try to be brave and resist. His independence? He is sensitive, brave, treacherous and rogue. I believe he is deeply influenced by his background. Some political opponents or historians criticized that "Cao Cao's yin chicken, cold and cunning character are all caused by dirty blood." It shows that the family has a deep influence on it. 2. Career ups and downs Cao Cao's promotion of Xiaolian to his career at the age of 20 has a lot to do with his family background. But as soon as he set foot on his official career, he wanted to get rid of the influence of the eunuch family. He was impressed and certainly upset people, and his official career rose and fell. In view of the fact that the Eastern Han Dynasty was dominated by eunuchs and could not be self-righteous, he once resigned and lived in seclusion. Then he returned to the changing historical stage of the late Han Dynasty as a military officer and began another period of his political career. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he served as the northern commandant of Luoyang. In A.D. 184, he joined the Rebel Army and moved to Jinan. At this time, he used the time to replenish the military forces, stationed in Shandong, and sent 300,000 soldiers to Qingzhou. "In the first year of Jian 'an (196), he welcomed the imperial city (now the imperial city of Henan Province), became a general himself, and was also sealed as Emperor Wu Pinghou, which really made him feel humble. After successively flattening the separatist forces such as Lu Bu, Yuan Ying, a separatist force in Hebei Province, was defeated by the battle of Guandu, and the northern part of China was gradually unified by the five rings in the north and Liangzhou in the west. After Battle of Red Cliffs's failure, his prosperity and Wu's demise reached a climax. In 220 AD, Cao Cao died in Luoyang, and his son Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor and was honored as Emperor Wu.
