Cao Cao was an ass and not loyal to the people of the Han. Hope the thieves made out well.

I read "The Three Kingdoms."Cao Cao certainly was portrayed as an ass.

I played Romance of the Three Kingdoms on NES and usually played as Cao Cao. I think I did a good job.

Hell I gave Lu Bu a horse to come join my side. That was kind, right?

He was a self serving imperialist who used a lot of Imperial Edicts (think Executive Orders) to get his way. He basically had the emperor hostage and used the throne to serve his own interests.

People are shitting on Cao Cao, not Mao. I kinda doubt the CCP is behind these downvotes. It is weird though.

China would have been better off if he just won at the Red Cliffs. Liu Bei's dogmatic stand for legitimacy just cast China into so many more years of war. Cao Cao could have unified China and restored peace, but there was another century of pointless war afterwards. It was the Sima clan that won in the end anyways.
