In the feudal society of China for more than 2,000 years, there was not an evergreen tree, and no one could escape the periodic law of historical development, that is, "its prosperity was also rich, and its death was also sudden", and it would go through the process of ups and downs, chaotic control and reciprocating circulation.

The Eastern Han Dynasty lasted 195 years, with thirteen emperors. The Eastern Han Dynasty has collapsed and the sun is fading. Eunuchs and consorts fought for power and profit, the court was corrupt and incompetent, the yellow turban insurrectionary peasant uprising was surging, warlords fought for years, and the people were miserable. At this time, the driving force of the development of the times, history falls on the shoulders of emerging forces, and instead, new peaches must be replaced by old symbols!

Cao Cao is a hero who conforms to the trend of historical development and a representative of emerging forces! Second, a brief introduction to life

Cao Cao (155~220) was a politician, strategist and writer in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The word Meng De, nicknamed Ayun, was born in Peiguoqiao (now Bo County, Anhui Province). After Han joined the Senate. The History of the Three Kingdoms-Wei Shu Wu Diji (hereinafter referred to as the History of the Three Kingdoms). Father Song is Cao Teng's adopted son. Low vigilance, strong political, and Ren Xia bohemian, no industry. At the age of 20, he was promoted to Lang. Except for Bei Wei of Luoyang, he moved to Dun to worship the "Three Kingdoms".

When the Yellow Scarf Uprising broke out, he served as the captain on horseback. Huang Fusong suppressed the Yellow Scarf Army and moved to Jinan. Become the captain of Canon's army. In the sixth year of Zhong Ping (189), he set out to beg Dong Zhuo. During the suppression of the Yellow Scarf Army, the military strength gradually expanded. In the third year of Chuping (192), it occupied Yanzhou (now northeast of Jinxiang, Shandong Province), lured more than 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow Scarf Army to surrender, and its elite was elected as' Qingzhou Army'.

In the first year of Jian 'an (196), he married Du Xu, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty (now Xu Changdong, Henan Province) and made him a vassal. Set up the training and consolidation department.

From the second year to the sixteenth year of Jian 'an (197~2 1 1), he defeated the strongmen such as Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, conquered the nobles of Wuhuan and unified the north.

After Battle of Red Cliffs's failure, he paid attention to rest and health preservation, appointed talents, restrained strongmen, strengthened centralization, and restored and developed the social economy.

In the 21st year of Jian 'an (2 16), the son of heaven entered Wang Weigong.

In the summer of April in the 22nd year of Jian 'an (2 17), the son of heaven ordered the son of heaven to sign the flag, which was called a warning sign when he came in and out. In the winter of October, the son of heaven ordered Wang Mian to take a golden root car, drive six horses, set up a five-hour auxiliary car, and took the five senses corps commander Pi as the "Three Kingdoms" of Prince Wei.

In the 25th year of Jian 'an (15 March, 220), Cao Cao died in Luoyang at the age of 66. Posthumous title "Prince of Wu" was buried in Gaoling.

Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor shortly after he ascended the throne, calling Cao Cao "Emperor Wu" and the temple name "Mao".

Third, historical achievements.

Although Cao Cao was not an emperor before his death, he founded the country himself and was the founder of Wei State. He is a hero as well as a hero.

(1) In Cao Cao's life, when he took a captain back to his hometown to start an army, the world was in chaos and the princes were divided. In fact, there is only one last breath left in the Eastern Han Dynasty. By the time he became the son of heaven and made him not a minister (Mao Jienian), the son of heaven was running from Chang 'an to the east, and his ministers died of hunger and cold in a ravine. Luoyang is in ruins, and Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty is no different from beggars.

So when Cao Cao wanted to help the Han Dynasty, he knew that he couldn't, and he was simply helping a Han Dynasty court out of thin air.

Cao Cao used the prestige of the Han Dynasty to fight against the Yellow Scarf, sweep away bandits, establish an emperor, fight against LiGuo, destroy Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Zhang Xiu, Yuan Shao, Hebei, Guanzhong and the Five Rings.

Solved the northern part of China and ended the war.

Cao Cao was only a county when he made his fortune. In more than ten years, thirteen states in the world divided Kyushu into half and captured two-thirds of the country.

Although Cao Cao is treacherous, he is a lean man. As far as the disparity between the foundation and the final result is concerned, only a few people who can have this kind of literary martial arts in their lifetime can compete with Cao Cao.

(2) After the defeat of Chibi, we should recuperate, pay attention to employing people, knowing people and being good at their duties, restrain the strongmen, strengthen centralization, prosper wasteland reclamation, build water conservancy projects, restrain mergers, popularize agricultural production techniques, and reform the tax system, so as to restore and develop the social economy. (Fan Wenlan's A General History of China): As a politician, Cao Cao founded the State of Wei. From the perspective of the dark rule and the mixed struggle between the powerful and the powerful in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it shows that the society has begun to have a stable trend. He abolished the tax system of the Han dynasty ... it is forbidden to merge powerful people and force powerful people to pay taxes on behalf of the poor and the weak. This is beneficial to farmers.

Implement the system of land reclamation, recruit farmers who have no land or cattle, sheep and livestock, and cultivate official land under the command of officials at all levels. In addition to reclamation, Cao Cao also urged reclamation. Around the end of Jian 'an, basic land was gradually reclaimed. Cao Cao ordered that anyone who destroyed the wheat field should be put to death. So there appeared the legend of "cutting hair instead of hair".

Based on this policy of attaching importance to agriculture, he advocated frugality, prohibited heavy burial and immorality, and established national security. Generally speaking, under the rule of Cao Cao, the society that suffered great damage began to develop towards recovery.

(3) Cao Cao was an outstanding strategist in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He has experienced many battles and repeated risks. He often went to the front and created the following battles: Battle of Pi (to defeat Lu Bu), Battle of Shouchun (to defeat Yuan Shu), Battle of Guandu (to defeat Yuan Shao), Battle of Liucheng (to defeat Ta Dun), Battle of Guanzhong (to defeat Ma Chao to Han Sui) and Battle of Hanzhong (to defeat Zhang Lu).

He is proficient in the art of war, and he has written A Brief Explanation of the Art of War and A Summary of the Art of War.

Cao Cao is an outstanding writer and the pioneer of Jian 'an literature. His father and son are outstanding representatives of Jian 'an's character.

He can combine political foresight with literary accomplishment.

He is good at poetry and prose. Today, there are more than 20 poems and 40 relatively complete essays, among which "A journey in a vast distance" and "Looking at the sea" are magnificent, tragic and generous, heroic and heroic; Prose is also free and easy, such as flowing water, praised by future generations.

Fourth, I am willing to be Zhou Wenwang.

Wang is a very important minister under Cao Cao. Facing the temptation of becoming emperor, he is close at hand, but Cao Cao has never taken further measures.

The biggest challenge of being an emperor is the desire for power, so Cao Cao knows very well that he can't get into real trouble because of his false reputation.

(1) According to the History of the Three Kingdoms: 2 19, Sun Quan wrote to Cao Cao to bow down and express his willingness to worship Cao Cao as emperor. Cao Cao immediately saw through Sun Quan's intrigue. He said, "It is my son who wants me to live on fire!" " "

As a great politician, Cao Cao devoted his life to saving the world. As he said: I am an insurgent to eliminate riots for the world, that's all. Don't forget your initiative. How can you call yourself emperor? In fact, not claiming the emperor is also Cao Cao's genius. Cao Cao clearly realized that only by holding high the great chess of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and relying on the emperor to be a vassal, with the strength of Cao Wei, no one could do anything. After Cao Cao was named Gong Wei and Wang Wei, the military and political life and death were in power, but there was no name of the emperor! Besides, the world trend, Wu Shu only occupied the land of four continents, while Cao Wei occupied the land of Kyushu. Most of the civil servants in the Qing Dynasty were their confidants, and it was easy to usurp power and claim the title of emperor, so he didn't want to bear the notoriety of usurping the Han Dynasty.

(2) Minister Chen Qun, General Xia Houdun and others also advised Cao Cao not to hesitate and take the lead before it is too late. Cao Cao only replied with a meaningful sentence: "If the destiny is in me, I am Zhou Wenwang."

Cao Cao was furious and knew that calling himself emperor was a gross violation of Tao. There is Wu Shu's trouble outside, and there is stubborn resistance from the cremation forces inside, which will inevitably be condemned by everyone. As a promising politician, Cao Cao would never do such a stupid thing. In 2 10, Xian Di gave Cao Cao 100000 people as the population of Wei. Cao Cao refused, and wrote an article "Let the county magistrate know himself", saying that his ambition was to make contributions to the national thief and hope to be a western general. Then when he died, his tombstone was engraved with "The tomb of Cao Hou, a western general, because of the Han Dynasty". I hope it's enough. Make it clear that he has no intention of replacing Han.

Cao Cao knows the truth that extremes meet. He doesn't want to cover everything, but he has to leave room. So he said,'' If fate belongs to me, I will be Zhou Wenwang! As for what his son xelloss does, that's xelloss's business. The tide of history is vast, those who follow it prosper, and those who go against it perish. So Cao Cao left the question of whether he could be proclaimed emperor to his son Cao Pi.

Fourth, historical evaluation.

Many historical celebrities have given Cao Cao high recognition and evaluation.

Lu Xun: Cao Cao is a very capable person, at least a hero. Although I am not a member of Cao Cao's side, I always admire him anyway.

Chairman Mao said when commenting on Twenty-four History: "Cao Cao is a hero. He unified the north, ended the situation of aristocratic hegemony, and maintained the normal production of agriculture in the Central Plains ... "Cao Cao's poems are vigorous and passionate, vigorous and fresh, and he is worthy of being a politician and strategist with broad mind and extraordinary courage. "

Fan Wenlan: Cao Cao unified northern China and established the State of Wei. He reformed many evil policies in the Eastern Han Dynasty, suppressed the strongmen, developed production and practiced the system of reclamation. He also urged land reclamation, advocated the rule of law and thrift, so that the society that suffered great damage began to recover and develop steadily.

"The History of the Three Kingdoms" contains: (Xu Shao) said: Zi can rule the world, and treacherous officials come out in troubled times.

"Zi Tongzhi Jian?" Reporter: Wang Zhiren is good at reading words and feelings, but he is difficult to be confused. "Know the mage, regardless of humble, can use at will, are used. Hostility to Chen means peace of mind, if you don't want to fight; When it comes to winning the game, the momentum is overflowing.

Conclusion: Comments on the History of the Three Kingdoms: At the end of the Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes rose together. Yuan Shao looked at four continents and was powerful and invincible. Mao strategized, lashed out at the demons of Shen and Shang, and granted materials by the government, each with his own tools, melodramatic, and forgot the old evils. In the end, he was able to conquer the imperial court machine and become a flood maker, but it was only slightly superior. I can be described as an extraordinary person, an unparalleled outstanding figure.

Wei Wu made immortal contributions by going to the western seas and fighting in the Central Plains. He lived a mighty life, and he was a hero who attacked the universe with a broad mind. His eyes only crossed the sea!
