Portrait of Guan Yu
Doll of Cao Cao
My biggest dream in my early years was to be a director, not for anything else, just to sit next to the camera and drive a group of cool beauties around with a whip like stick. This should also be one of the greatest achievements in life. Of course, the unspoken rules will never be done with my noble sentiment.
Therefore, when I see some so-called historical dramas, in which some fictitious women are always inserted, I like history, but I won’t pick up bricks and shoot angrily. At most, I don’t support it, because these directors’ minds are the same as those of my early years. Why should I be angry with my peers. It’s not just the extraneous appearance of some women in film and television dramas. In reality, are there few extraneous occurrences of women? Are there few extraneous things caused by women?
History is also an extraneous drama, including between Cao Cao and Guan Yu.

Origin: the teacher’s milk in the dangerous city aroused the interest of two heroes
In those years, the earliest year was in the third year of Jian’an. In 198 ad, Cao Cao and Liu Bei were close comrades in arms and had a relationship of comrades and brothers because they had a common enemy – Lu Bu. Cao Liu allied forces are besieging Lv Bu’s last garrison: xiapi city.
Conquering xiapi, holding Lv Bu and sharing the stolen goods are all logical things. However, history can’t help arranging an extraneous play. This extraneous issue still comes from a woman, a woman in xiapi city. Don’t get me wrong. This woman is not the familiar beauty of Diao Chan. Don’t be infatuated with Diao Chan. Diao Chan is just a legend. The woman in the city is surnamed Du, and her husband’s name is Qin Yilu. Qin Yilu was sent by Lu Bu on a business trip to Yuan Shu, and he never returned. Du Shinai has no owner.
A dilapidated city and a teacher’s nurse with a child have caught the hearts of the two heroes. As early as when the battle was hard, Guan Yu, the leader of the coalition, found Cao Cao, the commander-in-chief of the coalition, and submitted a personal report requesting the organization to solve personal problems.
The content of the report is roughly as follows: “report to commander-in-chief Cao that the enemy member Qin Yilu is currently missing, his wife Ms. Du has been regarded as ownerless property, and I now have no children (maybe the wife at that time did not have children). Please organize the organization to hand over Qin Yilu’s family members to me after entering the city. Sincerely salute, Guan Yunchang.”. The original text is: “wife without children, go down to the city, and beg Na Yilu’s wife.”.
Commander Cao didn’t care much. In that era when the winner could distribute the enemy’s property, this application was understandable, so commander Cao readily agreed.
However, general Guan seemed to overemphasize this matter. At that time, it was difficult to determine whether he really wanted to accept Du Meimei or rescue his family for Qin Yilu. Anyway, on the day the army was going to enter the city, he ran to the front command post and made this request to the headquarters again. It is enough to apply to the organization once, and the organization will pay special attention to your application. If the organization pays too much attention, sometimes it is really not a good thing. Cao Cao is a personal genius. When Guan Er Ge mentioned too much, he remembered it. Not long after he took his troops to the city, he took extra care of Du Shinai. At first glance, he was so beautiful that he couldn’t hold it anymore, so he was good at advocating the incorporation of Du Shinai. “It is self acceptance”. As for Guan Yu’s side, he probably commented on what to correct his attitude and deal with the decision of the headquarters rationally.
This case of extraneous twists and turns has entered the archives, which are the records of Shu, the spring and Autumn Annals of Wei and the annals of Huayang.
This incident cast a huge shadow between Cao and Guan. The file records at that time said, “feather heart is uneasy.”. If the leader takes away what you miss most, will you still trust the leader? In the future, the relationship between Cao and Guan can also be analyzed according to this psychology.
Meet again: Guan Yu proves himself with performance and personality
To be fair, according to the post-war prisoner disposal principle of that era, Guan Yunchang’s request is not excessive. If you want to get what kind of distribution, like beautiful women, and report openly to the organization according to the formal procedures, I personally think it can’t be regarded as the dirty spot of brother Guan. A hero should be frank in doing things, but Lao Cao is not. He uses his power and position to overdraw the reputation of the organization, which seriously destroys the centripetal force of the team. At that time, brother Guan couldn’t wait to destroy Lao Cao.
Everyone knows about Xuchang hunting. Lao Cao was very arrogant in that hunting activity. He openly said that he was the head of the central government of the Han Dynasty. Guan Er Ge decided to kill him at that time and was stopped by his eldest brother Liu Bei. However, the explanation of Guan Er GE’s motive in Volume VI of the annals of Huayang is directly related to Du Shinai, who said that he could not swallow this tone and wanted to kill Lao Cao while hunting. Liu Bei, the eldest brother, felt that the country at that time could not live without Lao Cao’s leadership, so he did not approve the assassination, “the Lord first cherished the world and did not listen”.
What kind of psychology Guan Yu had at that time can’t be restored now. It’s too pure to say that he doesn’t carry personal grudges at all; It is too ugly to say that he is purely for women. I personally believe that the disgust of a politician, of course, should start from the big festival, however, private morality is also not a starting point. In today’s world, when denouncing a political figure, the problem of private morality is often worse than the problem of line. Not to mention that Lao Cao had big problems with women. Zhang Xiu, the political ally he finally formed in those days, was because Lao Cao was not careful in private morality and took advantage of Zhang Xiu’s aunt, which led to the strategic blunder and the destruction of his relatives and comrades in arms.
Guan Yu wanted to kill Cao Cao mainly from his political position and political interests. However, the factors of private morality are the emotional factors in this kind of political motivation, which can make political enthusiasm erupt.
Fortunately, Cao and Liu separated later. Brother Guan didn’t have to look at a leader who made him very uncomfortable in the office every day. It was easier to tear his face. However, history is always extraneous. Two years after the xiapi incident, we met again. It was A.D. 200. As we all know, Guan Er Ge temporarily transferred to Xuchang team from Huangshu team because he lost contact with the organization, and became the main player of Xuchang team.
What kind of mentality is it between Cao and Guan when we meet again? History is recorded. Cao Cao saw that handsome Guan was always absent-minded. “Seeing that his mind had no intention of staying for a long time”, Cao Cao was embarrassed to ask directly, because there was a shadow between the two people, including Du Shinai, so he sent Zhang Liao to ask. Second brother Guan replied, “I won’t stay, but I will make good achievements to show old Cao before leaving (I won’t stay at last, I want to take effect to report to Cao gongnai).”
There is a knot between Cao Guan
Both of them are engaged in psychological confrontation. With a little guilt, Lao Cao made up for it with political tolerance and material preferential treatment. Guan here, deliberately make a high-profile attitude: Lao Cao, I have to do a good job before leaving.
Sometimes the best way to treat a leader who has a disagreement with you is to do a particularly beautiful business, so that when you leave, you will leave him the most natural and unrestrained figure.
In this year, brother Guan did the most amazing business for Cao Cao: cutting Yan Liang. In that year, Xuchang team and Yuan Shao’s Hebei team played an encounter in Baima. Guan Er Ge, a foreign aid from Huangshu team, took the ball alone, rushed through the heavy defense of Hebei team, killed the whole court, ran straight to the other team’s goal, and scored the most wonderful goal in history – killing Yan Liang, the main player of Hebei. Then, Guan Er Ge clapped his hands, and even the sweat stains on the shirt were not washed away, so he gave up the rich annual salary of Xuchang club and left the court proudly.
Guan Er Ge left mainly out of loyalty to the imperial uncle team, but it also contains such a mentality: Lao Cao, you did so ugly in those years, and I Guan must do better than you, so I’m ashamed of you. Lao Cao seemed a little ashamed that he didn’t pursue.
Ending: the heroine seems to be very happy. Her son relies on “obedience” to get a foothold in officialdom
After talking about the gratitude and resentment of two big men, those little men and women still need an ending. The little man, Qin Yilu, the husband of Du Shinai, went to Yuan Shu on business to move the rescuers. The rescuers did not move. He was detained and forced to marry a princess of the Han Dynasty. After several twists and turns in history, the little man Qin Yilu involuntarily came to Cao Cao’s unit with the storm. Old Cao looked at his woman’s ex husband and felt embarrassed, so he became a county magistrate.
In fact, Qin Yilu was once a hero. He was one of the three swordsmen who stabbed Dong Zhuo off his horse in Chang’an. However, after all, he was not a great hero like Guan Yunchang. He couldn’t kill a fierce general like Yan Liang to show Lao Cao and make him ashamed, so he had to live under Lao Cao’s hand with a salary.
The biggest tragedy of a man is that a woman becomes someone else’s, and this person happens to be the boss who pays her wages. Later, Liu Bei turned against Cao Cao, and Liu Bei left. After passing the territory managed by Qin Yilu, Zhang Fei laughed at him: “your wife, surnamed Qin, was robbed by others. You’re still willing to work for others. You’re really a counsellor (people marry your wife, and if they grow up, it’s Chichi if it’s evil).” Qin Yilu’s bloodiness was stimulated, so he followed Liu Bei and Zhang Fei and walked a few miles. After three minutes, his bloodiness fell again. Unexpectedly, he still wanted to go back to Cao Cao. Zhang Fei didn’t agree and clicked Qin Yilu. Alas, there is a big difference between this man and his blood.
Du Shinai and Ji Kang are relatives
Qin Yilu is gone. War turns men into cannon fodder and women away. Ms. Du still has to live. She lives in Cao Cao’s home with Qin Lang, the flesh and blood of Qin Yilu. There is no record of her state of mind. However, there are her birth records in the annals of the Three Kingdoms. She gave birth to Cao Lin, Cao Yan and Princess Jinxiang for Cao Cao. Cao Lin’s granddaughter married Ji Kang, a great talent; Cao Yan is a young man of literature and art. He likes to engage in literary competitions with Cao Zhi, but he can’t catch up without help from his talent.
That little Qin Lang lives a happy life. Lao Cao is a person who has no prejudice against his stepson. He loves Ms. Du and the bones and flesh of Ms. Du and others. This is like the perfect Yan Honglie’s love for Yang Kang in “shooting carving”. Every time a large banquet is held, Lao Cao always shows his father’s love in front of the guests’ faces: “tell me, how can anyone in the world love his stepson like me? (does anyone in the world love fake children like orphans?)
The secret of Qin Lang’s survival in the Cao family is to be good. Because he is good, Cao Pi, the eldest brother of the Cao family, never bothers him, so he has never been in trouble. His nephew in Cao’s family, Cao Rui of Wei Ming emperor, likes this uncle surnamed Qin. No matter what activities he attends, he should take him with him. Of course, Cao Rui is not called his uncle, but Qin Lang’s nickname: a su. It’s also very strange for a big man to be called by his nephew’s generation.
A Su is very good. Cao Rui appointed him as an important cadre. He originally has a great mission, but a Su is just good. When the emperor did something wrong, or even killed the wrong person, he didn’t say anything, “you can’t stop remonstrating”; He didn’t say anything about anyone who needed to be recommended, “and he didn’t taste a good person.”. Leaders like me. Just keep quiet with my salary and bonus.
Special identity, painful family history, and in a prominent powerful family, you can’t be obedient. The Cao family liked him very much, so they built a big villa for him and paid him a high salary. All civil and military officials bribed him and flattered him because he was close to the emperor. Therefore, ah Su is very happy, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for his unfortunate father.
Conclusion: This article is not written for curiosity, but to explore a subtle interpersonal psychology. The division of people is basically based on politics, interests, beliefs, etc. However, in addition, if we take “the girls I chased together in those years” as the maximum common divisor, and use such a perspective of male female relations to look at ancient history, some ancient historical problems, and some ancient historical figures, will we still get some unexpected truths?
