There is no undead person in marching war, and no one who accomplishes great things has never made sacrifices. But in the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao lost too much. This sudden victory and inexplicable sacrifice made Cao Cao more tenacious, although he did not want to see such a result.
Whatever can't kill you will make you stronger. That's what Cao Cao did.
In the first month of AD 197, Cao Cao marched into Wancheng. As an important place in Nanyang, Cao Cao is ready to tackle tough problems. But the result was surprisingly smooth. Zhang Xiu's surrender without a fight saved Cao Cao a lot of trouble. Since the start of the army in 189, Cao Cao has not been so smooth for more than 7 years. Cao Cao, who was so overwhelmed by joy, began his performance.
He first entertained the Zhang Embroidery department as usual, and let Dian Wei hold a big axe during the dinner, followed behind him to frighten the generals and showed off his muscles,
太祖Very Yue, Yanxiu and its generals, set the wine high meeting. Taizu went to wine, after Wei held a large axe, the blade diameter ruler, before Taizu came, Wei Yuan held the axe. Jingjiu, embroidery and its generals dare not look up. ——"Three Kingdoms·Dianwei Biography"
Then, Cao Cao turned his attention to Zhang Xiu's stunning aunt. Beauty, beauty, is it a pity that such a beauty does not enter Cao Aman's bed? Anyway, the kid Zhang Xiu has fallen, what can he do to me? Haha, ma'am, let Meng De sleep well, and let Meng De take care of you for Zhang Ji's dead ghost.
Behind Zhang Xiu's bloodshot eyes. How can you not report such abuse?
The moon is black and wind is high in the night, when killing people and setting fire. How Zhang Xiu reversed, historical records have been difficult to get an accurate result. According to Chen Shou's record, it was Zhang Xiu's dissatisfaction that caused Cao Cao's vigilance and wanted to kill him secretly, but Zhang Xiu's surprise attack was revealed. According to Fu Zi, it was because Cao Cao loved Hu Che'er, a trusted general of Zhang Xiu, and rewarded him with a lot of money. Zhang Xiu suspected that he wanted to buy left and right to harm him, so he reversed.
However, according to Wu Shu's record, Zhang Xiu asked Cao Cao to set up camp in another place based on Jia Xu's suggestion. The route passed Cao Cao's military camp. Because the car is small and heavy, the whole army travels in armor. Cao Cao also believed Zhang Xiu's statement and agreed. Cao Cao was killed by surprise.
To be honest, Wu Shu’s statement is the least credible, but the most credible. The unreliability is because of the position problem, and the credibility is because if Cao Cao is fortified, it is not so easy to be labeled as the final one by Zhang Xiu. Therefore, it is very likely that Cao Cao really thought about murdering Zhang Xiu after taking in Zhang Ji's wife, but was moved by Zhang Xiu's sincere performance, changed his mind, and reduced his defenses (Jia Xu contributed to it). In the end, Zhang Xiu's army made a surprise attack and defeated Cao Cao.
The battle of Wancheng ended with the death of Dianwei, the death of Cao Anmin in the rebellion, and the death of Cao Ang who dedicated his mount to Cao Cao to escape. This is a huge loss that Cao Cao has never experienced in the past eight years.
Fortunately, when Cao Cao retreated to Wuyin afterwards, Zhang Xiu led the crowd to attack and was repelled by Cao Cao and successfully took over Wancheng. Zhang Xiu led the remnants to Rang County and joined forces with Liu Biao.
The battle of Wancheng finally came to an end.
Facing the huge pain, Cao Cao did not choose to blame the heavens and the others. He said gravely to his subordinates: "Zhang Xiu returned. He should have been asked to take his family as a hostage as usual, but I did not do this, which led to such an end. The responsibility for Wancheng's defeat lies with me. I already know. I hope you can see where I am wrong, and Cao Mengde will never be defeated because of this in the future." After
, Cao Cao really did not make such a low-level mistake again. When Zhang Xiu returned two years later, Cao Cao not only held him by the hand and had a banquet with him, but also married him as a son and daughter. After defeating Yuan Tan, Zhang Xiu obtained an unparalleled two thousand stone food town. No one can compare grace.
In the battle of Wancheng, Cao Cao almost went to the ghost gate againturn off. Overcoming the difficulties, Cao Cao became more stable. He is still lustful, but no longer anxious; he is still contented, but no longer credulous. Before life and death, Cao Cao received a rebirth, although the price was his beloved son, Ai Jiang, and the only son of his younger brother. This account can only be left to Huang Quan to understand.
People do not make mistakes. The more accomplished people are, the more serious the mistakes may be. It depends on how you face the error. Is it like Cao Cao to seek self or blame others? The results are naturally different. Cao Cao can use his anger to kill a few people he can't understand, but it won't help, but it will lose the hearts of the people.
Admitting mistakes is actually not easy, because people don’t like making mistakes. But when you have the courage to face your mistakes, you are bound to bring your xinxing to a higher level, and the trust and praise you can get is far from the gains of burying the mistakes in your heart. And, more importantly, admitting your mistakes is also admitting your imperfections. An imperfect person will always remind himself that there is still a long way to go and don't make such mistakes again.
If you are in peace, you should admit your shortcomings first, it is not shameful at all.
