Han Gaozu Liu Bang unified China in eight years, why Cao Cao could only divide the world into three

The environment of the times in which these two people lived was different, and at that time, he Liu Bang had Xiang Yu in front of him to help him clear mines. If it weren't for Xiang Yu to stabilize the situation in the world step by step, how could he, Liu Bang, have the opportunity to ask you about the Ninety-Five Supreme. Liu Bang and Cao Cao are different, to be precise, Liu Bang seized the opportunity, while Cao Cao created the opportunity step by step.

To put it mildly, Liu Bang was caught off guard by Xiang Yu, and Liu Bang was a trick. Cao Cao can really be called a hero, step by step, Cao Cao was in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, emerging and has been walking in the tide of the times. Cao Cao is different from him Liu Bang, Liu Bang is a late-blooming type.

And Cao Cao has been planning step by step since he was a child, but unfortunately it is really not as good as man, and Cao Cao has the opportunity to unify the Central Plains. However, after the defeat in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's footsteps were blocked, and Cao Cao could not cross the Yangtze River, let alone get involved in the Jiangdong region, which was firmly blocked in the south of Cao Cao's regime, preventing the expansion of Cao Wei's regime.

Slowly, there was the so-called three-point world, but from a long-term perspective, the Cao Wei regime was actually the most potential and the most promising to end the troubled times. We can see this from the fact that the Sima family was able to quickly unify the three kingdoms after usurping the Cao Wei regime. The so-called Jin Dynasty is actually the Cao Wei regime with a layer of skin, if it were not for the solid foundation of the Cao Wei regime, how could his Sima family be able to end the Three Kingdoms era for decades?

So from another point of view, Cao Cao is just fighting steadily, and he doesn't want to rush into the unification of the Three Kingdoms. As long as he develops solidly for ten or twenty years, he can easily defeat the Eastern Wu regime and the Shu Han regime. I think this may be Cao Cao considering the defeat of the Battle of Chibi, if Cao Cao could be more stable at that time, maybe Cao Cao would have unified the Central Plains.

It's a pity that the time is also fateful. In fact, in terms of Cao Cao's personal achievements, he and Liu Bang are only one step behind, and Cao Cao's Cao Wei regime is the best in terms of national strength and the other two countries, but it is the last step behind reunification.

Because the Liu Bang era was an uprising to overthrow the regime, while the Cao Cao era was a warlord melee, and finally there was the trend of the three kingdoms to check and balance each other.

The historical environment is different, Liu Bang encountered the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty, and then fought with Xiang Yu, while Cao Cao faced various princes who had been formed over a long period of time.

Because Cao Cao was afraid of being infamous as a rebellion. Liu Bang only ruled the world after winning the hearts of the people, Cao Cao was because there was a Han Dynasty at that time, and Cao Cao did not dare to be the emperor, so he waited until Cao Cao's son could be called the emperor.

Naturally, Cao Cao's military talents were outstanding, but Cao Cao's opponents were extremely strong, while Liu Bang's opponents were not as strong as Cao Cao's, so Cao Cao could not unify the Central Plains.

Because his background is not good, he does not have Cao Cao's judgment ability, and the two of them are in different situations, so they have not completed the hegemony.

Because Cao Cao is too insidious and cunning, he has calculated many people, so that everyone has lost their trust in him, and it is difficult to stop four hands with one punch.

Cao Cao also has a better background, he has missed a lot of great opportunities, his ability is half-baked, if he doesn't have a good background, he is not as good as Liu Bei, let alone compared with Liu Bang, it is too far behind.

Which is Cao Cao's military ability?

This is because Cao Cao's character is more anxious, and relatively speaking, he is more anxious for quick success, so there is no long-term pattern, and the world has not yet been unified.

Because Cao Cao was born in the wrong era, Cao Cao's era had Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, so it was difficult for him to dominate the world, and they were all very strong people.

Mainly because Cao Cao did not have the will to be emperor, and he did not have the ability to be emperor at that time.

If Xiang Yu knows how to employ people, he can unify the whole country in three years. Xiang Yu seemed to be close to unification once, but he started the sub-sealing system again, I don't know what he thinks!

The two take different routes, Liu Bang belongs to the player who accumulates strength, which is a bit of a fisherman's profit; But Cao Cao belonged to the type of fighting all the way, and in the end, he also suffered serious losses.

The main reason is that the opponents are different, Cao Cao's opponents are much stronger than Liu Bang's opponents.

Cao Cao was too eager to succeed and was defeated by the Sun-Liu coalition in the Battle of Chibi. There are many reasons why it did not unify the world, the most important point is that the conditions for unifying the world were not yet mature at that time, and the strength of the three parties at that time was developed, and no one was enough to annex the other.

First of all, he doesn't take advantage of his men. And he didn't live as long as Liu Bang, and he didn't have a military commander like Han Xin under his hands.

The main difference is timing. Because Cao Cao did not have Liu Bang's good timing, he did not unify the world. In the end, it leads to falling short.

I think Cao Cao was bad luck. Cao Cao faced two major enemies, Eastern Wu and Shu Han, while Liu Bang only faced Xiang Yu.

The difference is in the day. Liu Bang only faced one big enemy of Xiang Yu at that time, while Cao Cao needed to face two strong opponents, Shu Han and Eastern Wu.

The war environment is bad.

Cao Cao was one of the first warlords of the Eastern Han Dynasty Rebellion, and in the process of unifying the north, he had too many opponents, and it took him most of his life to cut off the northern heroes. And Liu Bang only has one opponent, Xiang Yu.

People's hearts are different.

The main reason why Liu Bang was able to become emperor soon was the support of the people. In the north of Cao Cao's time, the hearts of the people were towards Han, and neither the common people nor the ruling class supported the establishment of a new regime. Therefore, the Cao Wei regime was only a flash in the pan.

Because the capabilities of the three countries were very strong at that time, and there were many powerful people, he did not overthrow the Han Dynasty at the beginning.

Because Cao Cao's opponent is too strong, and Cao Cao's ability is limited, it is only three points in the world.

Because they had different forces at the time, and their ambitions and ambitions were surprisingly inconsistent, they would make different decisions on the same matter.

Because they are standing in different positions, and the time and age are different.

Because Liu Bang's opponent was mainly Xiang Yu, and the other strengths were relatively weak, while Cao Cao was even stronger in the face of opponents, Cao Cao did not unify the world, and Liu Bang did it in 7 years.

Because Cao Cao's opponents were strong, and they also formed an alliance. Therefore, Cao Cao did not dominate the world.

Liu Bang is fighting for hegemony in the world, and Cao Cao is to quell the separatist forces.

The two are in different social environments Liu Bang is the king of Han, when Liu Bang fought for the world, it was in the context of the princes' conquest of the Han king in the name of the king of Chu Huai to avenge the king, at this time there was no orthodox emperor, the name of the army is right, there is moral support, and the people want it.

And Cao Cao used the strategy of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, instead of the Son of Heaven to attack the princes who did not obey the control, he could be the king at most, and the emperor would be poked in the backbone, making his political group deviate from morality and unpopular with the people. This is the disadvantage of blackmailing the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Of course, it was also because of this strategy that Cao Cao had many like-minded allies in the early stage.

Think about it, if Cao Cao is the emperor, isn't this the second Wang Mang. As the saying goes, it's not right, it's not good.

The strength of the two is different, and there is a gap in the strength of the opponent. When Liu Bang was fighting for the world, the power was one of the best at that time, except for Xiang Yu, who belonged to him, not to mention, Liu Bang was surrounded by a group of great talents in governing the country, Han Xin and Chen Ping were even more resourceful, you can take Han Xin as an example of destroying the Three Qin and Six Kingdoms alone. At this time, Xiang Yu had no available talents around him.

Although Cao Cao has a certain strength in raising troops, no one can beat him in the early stage, and in the middle stage, he made a fortune by relying on a wave of coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes' strategy, and in the later stage, if he wants to fight for the world, he will start to pay off his debts for the previous strategy. At that time, the Han family was still orthodox, and there were not a few people within Cao Cao's own group who attached importance to the Han family, but Xun Yu, the head of the Ru Yingshi group. If you don't have a single heart inside, it's easy to get out of the moth.

If you look at the top talents such as Liu Bei's Five Tiger Generals Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, the four major governors of Eastern Wu Sun Quan, the Twelve Tiger Cities, they can't be killed for a while and a half, and they are easy to be killed if they are not careful.

Summary: The old political and social structures that Liu Bang faced were much more fragile than those faced by Cao Cao, that is, at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was much more difficult to break the old structure and establish a new one. There are also those who fundamentally oppose the empire itself, mostly the lower classes.

And the upper echelons of the empire mostly defended the empire at the beginning, including Cao Cao himself. Later, as the situation developed, more and more people realized that the Han dynasty could no longer be revived.

Cao Cao was sometimes too emotional, and many times he was not ruthless enough, so he did not unify the world like Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

Compared with Cao Cao and Liu Bang, Cao Cao did not have a capable person like Han Xin under his hands, but his opponents were very powerful, so in the end he did not unify the world.
