After the death of his eldest son Cao Ang, why did Cao Cao hold a grudge for the rest of his life?

Because the death of this son is directly related to his penchant for looking for women, he will not lose his life if he is not lustful for his son, so he feels very guilty.

This is because Cao Cao was very arrogant to Zhang Xiu at the beginning, and did not value Zhang Xiu's ability, which made Zhang Xiu very angry, betrayed Cao Cao, and killed Cao Ang in the battle with Cao Cao, but when Zhang Xiu later attached to Cao Cao again, Cao Cao did not blame him, but appointed him more, but regretted that Zhang Xiu should not be despised in the first place.

Because Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Cao's feelings for him are the deepest, so Cao Cao is very sad and very concerned about his death.

Cao Ang died trying to save his father, Cao Cao.

The allusion goes like this:

Cao Ang (177-197), the character Zi Xuan. Cao Cao's eldest son. Clever and courageous, he was loved by Cao Cao, and at the age of twenty he was filial piety.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), he went out with Cao Cao to fight against Zhang Xiu, because Cao Cao found Zhang Xiu's uncle, Zhang Ji's wife, and when he saw that he was extremely beautiful, he didn't think about the government, Zhang Xiu thought: I surrendered to you, but you humiliated my aunt. Very angry, so he suddenly attacked, Cao Ang was in charge of the palace to save Cao Cao, and died in Wancheng with the general Dian Wei.

In the second year of Emperor Wen of Wei (221), he was posthumously named Feng Mourning Gong, and in the fifth year of Huang Chu (224), he was further posthumously named Feng Mourning King. In the third year of Taihe (229), he changed his name to the king of sorrow.

Cao Ang died to save Cao Cao because Cao Ang gave up his horse to Cao Cao.

Mainly because he was killed by Cao Cao by mistake. Cao Cao was very suspicious, and he hurt many innocent people because of it. Cao Ang is among them.

Cao Ang may be the heir if he does not die.

If Cao Ang didn't die, there would be nothing to do with Cao Pi. First of all, Cao Ang is the eldest son, older than Cao Pi, and secondly, although Cao Ang is not a concubine, he is Cao Cao's wife, and Mrs. Ding is raised, which is equivalent to a concubine, and finally if Cao Ang does not die, Cao Pi may always be a concubine and cannot become the eldest son of the later concubine.

Cao Ang's death was not only his own death, but also led to a major event around Cao Cao. Because she was raised by Cao Cao's wife Mrs. Ding since she was a child, Mrs. Ding had no children and regarded Cao Ang as her own. Therefore, Cao Ang's death brought a heavy blow to Mrs. Ding.

Reasons why Cao Ang may be the heir:

First, Cao Ang is the real eldest son, and he has a huge advantage over Cao Pi. Cao Ang's biological mother was Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Liu, and was not born to Cao Cao's wife. Mrs. Liu gave birth to two sons and a daughter, Cao Ang, Cao Shuo and Princess Qinghe, but died young.

Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, saw that Cao Ang and the other three children had become motherless children, and she was very pitiful, so she moved her compassion and adopted them, and she especially loved Cao Ang.

At a banquet, Cao Cao saw Mrs. Bian's beauty, so she was accepted as a concubine. To tell the truth, a person from a humble background like Mrs. Bian has almost no chance of becoming a wife, and she can only be a concubine for the rest of her life, at most a side room. She was able to become Cao Cao's wife, and the son she gave birth to was a sister-in-law, which was a burst of luck and won the lottery.

Second, Cao Ang sacrificed his life to save his father, which won Cao Cao's heart. Cao Ang is not a gentleman, but followed his father Cao Cao early, fought in the south and the north, and fought on the battlefield. He was still a dutiful person, and at the age of 20, he was raised to filial piety.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Ang, who was about 20 years old, went out with Cao Cao to fight against Zhang Xiu and made a lot of contributions.

In ancient times, war horses were equivalent to modern cars, whether it was attacking or escaping, a good number of war horses were indispensable. After Cao Ang saw his father lose his war horse, he gave his mount to his father, which was equivalent to giving Cao Cao the chance to survive. He protected his father Cao Cao on foot and successfully escaped from Wancheng.

Shema saved his father and died.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Cao Ang went with Cao Cao to fight against Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu surrendered, and Cao Cao accepted Zhang Ji's widow Mrs. Zou, and Zhang Xiu hated Cao Cao. Cao Cao heard that Zhang Xiu was unhappy, so he secretly prepared to kill Zhang Xiu.

As a result, the plan was leaked, Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao was defeated, Cao Cao's mount was also killed in Wancheng because of Zhang Xiujun's ambush, Cao Ang gave Cao Cao the chance to survive, and took the initiative to give his mount and war horse to his father Cao Cao to escape, and protected his father on foot to get out of Wancheng, and the close guard Dian Wei was responsible for blocking the enemy after breaking off in order to block the gate of the walled gate so that Cao Cao could escape, and finally Cao Ang died in Wancheng with Dian Wei and Cao Anmin.

In the romance, when Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, Cao ran away and was shot to death, Ang his horse, Cao Cao fled, and Cao Ang was shot to death by random arrows.

Cao Ang, Cao Cao's eldest son, appeared in the 16th episode of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the Battle of Wancheng, Cao Ang gave his horse to Cao Cao, Cao Cao escaped on horseback, and Cao Ang died in the chaos.

When Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu had already surrendered, but the lustful Cao Cao occupied Zhang Xiu's aunt, causing dissatisfaction, and attacked Cao Cao's camp at night. And Cao Cao's wife Ding raised Cao Ang since he was a child and had high hopes for him, but his death at this time hit her hard, so she fell out with Cao Cao and returned to her parents' home.

Wancheng Zhang Xiu was killed by an arrow during the rebellion.

Cao Cao's wife liked Cao Ang very much and thought that Cao Ang's death was caused by Cao Cao, so she ignored Cao Cao.

The eldest son, Cao Ang, was killed in battle in Wancheng. In 197, Cao Cao's southern expedition, the troops reached Huashui, and Zhang Xiu led the people to surrender. Cao Cao married the widow of Zhang Xiu's uncle Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu hated Cao Cao because of this.

Cao Cao heard that Zhang Xiu was unhappy, so he secretly prepared to kill Zhang Xiu. As a result, the plan was leaked, Zhang Xiu attacked Cao Cao, Cao Cao was defeated, his eldest son Cao Ang and nephew Cao Anmin were killed, and the fierce general Dian Wei was killed.

Cao Cao had a total of twenty-five sons and seven princesses, many of whom were talented.

As follows: Cao Cao had twenty-five sons:

Cao Ang, who was filial piety when he was young, was killed by Zhang Xiu and was born as a concubine, but was raised by Cao Cao's original match Ding.

Cao Shuo, early sage.

Cao Pi, in 220, forced the Han Dynasty to offer Emperor Chan to give up the throne for Emperor Wen of Wei.

Cao Zhang, nicknamed Huang Xu'er, is a brave general who once broke the Daijun Karasuma. In 223, he was named king of the city.

Cao Zhi, who is good at literature, once wrote "Luo Shen Fu". Although he was favored by Cao Cao, he failed to compete with his brother Cao Pi for the throne, and since then he has been unable to display his political ambitions. In 225, he was established as King Chen.

Cao Xiong, early sage.

Cao Chong, a famous prodigy, died of illness at the age of 13.

Cao was named King of Pengcheng in 232.

Cao Yu was crowned King of Yan in 232. The father of Emperor Cao Huan of Wei Yuan, Emperor Wen of Wei and Emperor Ming of Wei were orphans.

Cao Lin, in 232, was named King Pei.

Cao Gon was crowned King of Zhongshan in 232. When he was seriously ill, Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming loved him very much, and was buried after his death.

Cao Xuan, in 211, was named the Marquis of Xixiang.

Cao Jun was named King of Chen Liu in 232.

Cao Ju, early sage.

Cao Gan, crowned King of Zhao in 232.

Cao Shang, early sage.

Cao Biao, crowned King of Chu in 232. In 251, he conspired against Wang Ling, the Taiwei, and was given death.

Cao Qin, early succumbing.

Cao Cheng, early sage.

Cao Quan, in 217, was named the Marquis of Yi.

Cao Jing, early sage.

Cao Jun was named Marquis of Fan in 217.

Cao Thorn, Early Grass.

Cao Hui was crowned King of Dongping in 232.

Cao Mao, at odds with Cao Cao and Cao Pi. In 232, he was named the king of Quyang.

Among the daughters, only Cao Jie, who threw the jade seal (see the tenth queen of the Later Han Dynasty, see the tenth queen of the Later Han Dynasty) and the princess of Jinxiang who married her cheap brother (please see Shishuo Xinyu Rongzhi), are more famous.

And Cao Cao also has a lot of cheap sons. For example, He Yan, the husband of his daughter Princess Jinxiang, is Cao Cao's godson. Cao Cao is a strange person. I like to recruit talents, regardless of my background. The same is true for women.

He often met young ladies and wives left behind by the defeated prisoners, and as long as he liked them, he would take them as concubines, regardless of whether they still had sons and daughters. And these children who brought over also became "princesses" and "princes". Of course, Cao Cao was not an emperor when he was alive.

But it's just that I'm not in a hurry.
