Cao Cao was alert and brave since childhood. In the third year of the Eastern Han Dynasty (174), he was elected as Lang and served as the northern governor of Luoyang. When he entered the official career, he was in tit-for-tat with the eunuch group to which his ancestors belonged. In the first year of Zhong Ping (184), he served as the captain of the riding team and participated in suppressing the yellow turban insurrectionary uprising. Following Jinan. Four years, resigned and returned to China. The following year, he was appointed as a captain of the standard army, resumed military power and went to Luoyang. At that time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was teetering under the impact of the Yellow Scarf Uprising. In six years, Dong Zhuo entered the DPRK to monopolize power, but Cao Cao refused to win over and assembled 5,000 troops, no different from local strongmen. The following year, he joined Dong Lianjun and became a general of Fenwu, with Yuan Shao as the leader. More than 100,000 allied forces watched, and Cao Cao fought alone and suffered a crushing defeat, so he decided to develop independently. In the second year of Chu Ping of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty (19 1), he sent troops to suppress the Baiwei Department of Heishan Army and occupied Puyang (now southwest of Puyang, Henan). In three years, he was named Yanzhou Pastoral by Hebei Beixin and others. Following the policy of combining hard and soft, more than 300,000 Qingzhou Yellow turban insurrectionary troops were recruited, and their elites were selected and made into Qingzhou soldiers, which became an important force in later battles. After Cao Cao established himself in Yanzhou, Yuan Shu, which occupied Nanyang, expanded northward and colluded with Gongsun Zan, a separatist regime in Youzhou, forming a north-south attack. Cao Cao sized up the situation, but on the surface he still won support from Yuan Shao. He defeated Gongsun Zan first, and then forced Yuan Shu to defeat Huaibei. In the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping, Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou in the name of revenging his father. The troops slaughtered tens of thousands of people and returned to Yanzhou the following spring because of running out of food. In the summer, he sent troops to Xuzhou, and most of Yanzhou was occupied by Lu Bu and others. Through hard work, he recovered his lost ground. That "deeply controls the world" ("reflection, xun? Pass "), learn lessons and consolidate Yanzhou and Henan base areas. In the first year of Jian 'an (196), he led the army to Luoyang, close to Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, and was appointed as General Jiande and General Zhendong, and served as a captain, recording history and participating in state affairs. Soon, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was forced to move the capital to Xu (now Xuchang, Henan), and the emperor was made a vassal, in charge of the military and political affairs. Reclaim land in Xuxian and along the traffic lines, eat enough Qiang Bing, and reduce people's taxes. In the following three years, with the strategy of disintegration and divide and rule, Zhang Xiu was defeated one after another, and Lu Bu was captured and killed to compete with Yuan Shao, who had a huge army. In the fourth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao made careful arrangements to fight against Yuan Shao's southward advance and strive for strategic initiative. The following year, taking advantage of Yuan Shao's indecision and Liu Bei's distraction, he led the army to defeat Liu Bei and drove him out of Xuzhou, thus avoiding being attacked on both sides. When Yuan Shao marched into Liyang (now Xunxian County, Henan Province) with an army of 65,438+10,000 troops, Cao Cao, in view of the fact that the enemy was outnumbered, first transferred from east to west to relieve the siege of Baima, then retreated to Jinnan to defeat the pursuers, which greatly dampened Yuan Jun's momentum, and then returned to Guandu (now zhongmou county) to stand by and break the enemy. Later, he took the advice of his subordinates and resolutely refused to keep it. The camera successively attacked and burned the wagons carrying grain in the old city of Yuan Jun and the grain and hay in Wu Chao, and took advantage of the situation to launch an attack, killing more than 70,000 Yuan Jun, causing Yuan Shao to be weakened (see the battle of Guandu). Then go north, annex Hebei, Qinghai and Bingzhou, and attack Youzhou. In 12 years, Cao Jun was blocked by Bohai Sea, and Cao Cao pretended to slow down. He led the army out of Lulongsai (now xifengkou, Hebei Province to Lengkou), climbed the rugged path to Liucheng (now southwest of Chaoyang, Liaoning Province), defeated the remaining forces, colluded with Wu Ta Dun (see the battle of Cao Cao attacking Wuhuan), and unified northern China. The following year, I went south and took Jingzhou lightly. He also led a fine rider to pursue day and night, defeated Liu Bei in Changban (now Dangyang, Hubei Province) and went straight down Jiangling in an attempt to occupy Jiangdong. Because of pride and underestimation, and the epidemic disease in the army, Sun Quan and Liu Bei were defeated by the allied forces in Chibi (see Battle of Red Cliffs) and forced to return to the Central Plains. Then, he defeated the political enemies who seized military power in the imperial court, devoted himself to consolidating the north and ruling the water army at the same time. In sixteen years, the battle of Weinan went smoothly, all according to Guanzhong. He turned to the east and competed with Sun Quan for the land of Jianghuai. In 20 years, he won the battle of Hefei and curbed Sun Quan's offensive. Since then, Cao Wei's advantage in Huainan has gradually formed. In twenty-four years, he went to Hanzhong, pulled Cao Jun out of the predicament, concentrated his forces in Jingzhou, and set out to alienate Sun Liu's alliance, hoping to destroy them all. Under the instigation of Sun Quan, after Shu Han attacked and killed Guan Yu, Cao Jun turned the corner in Jingzhou battlefield and quickly formed an advantage. Just as the military power was greatly boosted, he died in Luoyang. Cao Cao was a warrior all his life. Flexible use of troops, good selection and good use of generals, strict management of the army.
