This book is based on official history, breaks the "treacherous hero" image, and reshapes Cao Cao's three-dimensional life. The book combines historical textual research and literary imagination to restore the situation of the late Han Dynasty and interpret the multi-faceted human nature of "a capable official in governing the world and a hero in troubled times", allowing readers to understand the real Cao Cao and the Three Kingdoms.
Starting from his youth, it shows the blank period in Cao Cao's history. From the passion for killing evil officials to the rise of conquering Dong Zhuo and recruiting soldiers from Qingzhou; from the heroes who "Fengtianzi" conquered the Central Plains, to the achievements of defeating Yuan Shao in Guandu and the expedition to conquer the north, they all show the strategy and responsibility of the heroes in troubled times.
