A complete overturning of Luo Guanzhong's portrayal, restoring the reputation of a great overlord and giving voice to men of courage.

In thirty-six chapters, Yi Sha's historical novel Cao Cao tells the life of one of the most important figures of the Three Kingdoms period, taking a fresh perspective and a broad-minded view of history. It recounts Cao Cao's amusing boyhood, his early brilliance as a young man, and the many events that followed: his attempt to assassinate Dong Zhuo, his rallying of a righteous cause, the tragic loss of loved ones, his encounters with loyal heroes from across the land, the Battle of Guandu, the destruction of Yuan Shao, the pacification of Hebei and Liaodong, his crushing defeat at Red Cliffs and narrow escape from death, and his campaign against Ma Chao to retake Chang'an. The novel depicts Cao Cao's military prowess across countless campaigns and his extraordinary strategic talent, bringing to life the legendary rise of a peerless warlord who ultimately became King of Wei amid a time of chaos.
This book is super exciting. I checked it online and found out that it is a masterpiece by an old gentleman. I read it in one go and became obsessed with the story. I also like Cao Cao, a sweet-tempered man. Cao Cao's three favorite things are fighting with generals, making love with beauties, and composing poems with Cao Zhi. I am deeply impressed. The appearance of such a book in Tomato is like a bowl of soup stock in a fast food restaurant. How could a reader who was so hungry when he came wait for several hours? It's been a long time since I read this kind of orthodox literary work, but after reading it, I got a sense of pleasure that I hadn't felt in a long time. It turns out that I don't have a book shortage, but my vision is narrow. I only see a field of fast food culture, and I can't see the magnificence of Chinese culture and even world culture 🤔
It's such a shame that there are no reviews for such a good book.
Very good. If you are a fan of Cao Cao, this is a treasure book.
The perspective of this book is very novel and allowed me to see a different Cao Cao. By describing Cao Cao's life, the author Yisha shows his military talent and legendary style in troubled times. I admire Cao Cao's wisdom and determination. He was able to clearly understand the complex situation and make the right decision. This book also made me understand that people must have their own goals and desires and work hard for them in order to achieve a career. I think this book is worth reading and I recommend it to you!
I am a fan of Cao Cao
