If you are a man, you must learn from Cao Cao
Cao Cao suffered 15 major defeats in his life and almost lost his life 6 times, but his inner strength allowed him to enjoy barbecue wherever he fell.
At the age of 35, Cao Cao attempted to assassinate Dong Zhuo to restore the Han dynasty. After failing, he spent all his wealth to recruit 5,000 troops and allied with 18 warlords to attack Dong Zhuo. While others were just putting on a show, Cao Cao played for real, pursuing Dong Zhuo alone. Not only did his entire army get wiped out, but he was also hit by an arrow. At this point, Cao Cao had done right by the Han.
At 39, Cao Cao nearly lost his life to Lu Bu in the Battle of Puyang.
At 42, during the Battle of Wan Cheng, Cao Cao slept with Aunt Zhang Xiu. Zhang Xiu rebelled, resulting in the sacrifice of Cao Cao's eldest son and favored general. At 53, Cao Cao initiated the Battle of Red Cliffs, attempting to unify the world, but Zhuge Liang's wind and Zhou Yu's fire burned down Cao Cao's 830,000 troops completely.
At 56, during the Battle of Tongguan, Cao Cao was beaten by Ma Chao to the point of doubting life, yet he still did not give up on his dream of unifying the world.
This is the greatness of Cao Cao: he can play, he can lose, he is genuine, and true to himself. A man should have this kind of carefree attitude; he must taste the sour, bitter, and spicy. Cao Cao can withstand the blows of life and can handle the wife of his opponent. #History##HistoricalFigures#
