A young man from Qiao County lay down in bed and pretended to be dead, but instead sued his uncle for tricking him into lameness - this was Cao Cao's "first show as an actor". No one thought that this naughty boy who was called "the eunuch queen" would become the "medicine" that stirred up troubled times.
Qiao Xuan's sentence "A capable minister in times of trouble, a traitor in troubled times" awakens the young man's ambition.
He was a maniac who dotes on talents, and his eyes turned red when he cried for Guo Jia; he was a fierce hero, but before his death, he asked to treat the Tongquetai singer well; the fire in Chibi burned down an army of 200,000 people, but he escaped and still joked about "starting all over again." From a drama queen in Qiao County to the overlord of the north, his counterattack has never been a matter of destiny, but the survival wisdom of "can afford to lose and dare to try again".
Troubled times are like a torrent. Some people go with the flow, while others buck the trend and make a comeback. Cao Cao spent his life proving that the so-called strong man does not never fall, but that he can hit the king bomb every time he is dealt a bad hand.
Some people laughed at him as a philistine, and he used "three years of tax exemption" to make the refugees kneel down to greet him; some people scolded him as unrighteous, and he welcomed Xu You barefoot, just for the life-saving food road in Wuchao; Guan Yu beheaded Yan Liang, and he threw a thousand taels of gold, not to cherish his talent, but to shout to the world: "Follow me, you will have meat to eat, and you will earn your life."
There is no natural overlord, only the helmsman who dares to take charge. He does not serve as a memorial arch for loyalty in temples, but only as a fixed star in the light of swords; he does not seek to be famous forever, but only so that his brothers who follow him can settle down, have enough food to eat, and survive in troubled times!
When Cao Cao held Cao Pi's hand and said, "A pragmatic person thrives," the three-legged chess game had already been settled. This time, watch "Cao Cao" use his abacus to turn the tide and become the most stable supporter in the quagmire of troubled times!
