Why Cao Cao is a successful father

Yes, because he cared very much for each of his sons, and left them a certain amount of wealth.

I think he is a good father, he does not treat any of his sons badly, he does not show favoritism to every son. Give them the freedom to use their talents and take care of everything behind them.

That's for sure! Cao Chong, who can "call the elephant" at the age of seven, Cao Zhi who "becomes a poem in seven steps", Cao Pi who is "called the emperor", and Cao Zhang, who is a "fierce general", are all well-known characters, these are Cao Cao's children, Cao Cao can definitely be called a good father!

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Emperor Wu Ji": At the beginning, his great-grandfather Song, after going to the official, returned to the rebellion, Dong Zhuo's rebellion, took refuge in Lang Evil, and was harmed by Tao Qian.

Later Han Shu Ying Shao Biography": In the first year of Xingping, the former captain Cao Song and Zide entered Taishan from Langxie, Shao sent troops to meet him, but he did not arrive, and Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian complained that Songzi Cao hit it several times, so that the light cavalry chased Song and De, and killed it at the county border.

The Biography of Cao Teng in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Song and Zi Cao raised troops and refused to accompany them, but avoided chaos with the young son, and was killed by Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian. "The World Speaks New Words":

Song is in Taishan Hua County. Taizu ordered Taishan to be sent to Yanzhou, but before the soldiers arrived, Tao Qian secretly sent thousands of horsemen to cover and arrest. The Song family thought it was welcome, not equipment.

Humility to the soldiers, kill Taizu brother in the door. Song is afraid, wears the back wall, first out of his concubine, concubine fat, from time to time; Song fled to the toilet, was killed with his concubine, and died behind closed doors. Fearful, abandoned the official and went to Yuan Shao.

Later Taizu settled in Jizhou, and he was dead when he died.

When Cao Cao's father went to Caocao's territory, he passed by Tao Qian's territory and was intercepted and killed by Tao Qian's soldier Zhang Min on the way due to greed, which was really a vain death.

The first theory is that Cao Song was killed by Mu Taoqian in Xuzhou; The second theory is that Cao Song was killed by Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Min.

Cao Cao's surname is Xiahou, and the death of his father Cao Song is in vain, but the result makes people see Cao Cao's traitorous side.

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he was killed by Tao Qian's soldiers.

Chen Shou said in "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhu Xiahou and Zhu Cao" that Cao Ren, Cao Chun, and Cao Hong were all Cao Cao's "younger brothers", but he never explained who the father of these three younger brothers was, who their grandfather was, and what kind of relationship they had with Cao Cao. Chen Shou only said that Cao Ren and Cao Chun were "brothers".

Wang Shen tells us in his Book of Wei that Cao Ren and Cao Chun's father was Cao Chi, the captain of Changshui; Cao Chi's father, the grandfather of Cao Ren and Cao Chun, was Cao Bao, the Taishou of Yingchuan. Is this Cao Bao also the grandfather of Cao Hong and Cao Cao?

In the Book of Wei, Wang Shen only said that Cao Hong had an uncle named Cao Ding, who served as Shang Shuling; There is no record of who Cao Hong's father was and who his grandfather was. Therefore, we have no way of conclusive. Cao Ren and Cao Chun's grandfather Cao Bao, is also Cao Hong's grandfather.

The remaining question is: Is Cao Bao and Cao Cao related by blood? He may not be Cao Cao's "biological grandfather"?

Li Daoyuan said in the "Notes on the Book of Water": Cao Cao's hometown of Qian County (Bo County, Anhui) has "Cao Teng's brother mound", and there is a tablet in the east of the mound, on which is engraved "the tomb of Cao Jun of the old Yingchuan Taishou of the Han Dynasty". This "Yingchuan Taishou Cao Jun" should be the "Yingchuan Taishou Cao Bao" in Wang Shen's "Book of Wei".

The Water Classic Note also records that in the north of the "Yingchuan Taishou Cao Jun Tomb", there is another mound of "Yuan Zi Chi", and the stele next to the mound is inscribed as "the stele of Cao Jun, the captain of Changshui in the late Han Dynasty". This Cao Chi, there is no doubt that he is Cao Ren and Cao Chun's father, Cao Chi, the captain of Changshui.

The reason why Li Daoyuan concluded that Cao Bao was the elder brother of Cao Teng, the middle servant, must have his reasons. Since Cao Bao and Cao Teng are brothers, who is their father?

Sima Biao's "Book of the Continuation of the Han Dynasty" quoted in the Taiping Yulan says that Cao Teng's father was called Cao Meng (the "Book of the Continuation of the Han Dynasty" cited by Pei Songzhi's note in this "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" falsely engraved the word Meng into the word "section"). Cao Meng has four sons, the youngest one is called Cao Teng, whose name is Ji Xing. The remaining three, what to do, Sima Biao did not say.

Sima Biao only said the words of the three of them: Boxing, Zhongxing, and Shuxing. If Cao Bao is indeed the elder brother of Jian Teng, he should be one of the three "What Xing".

Cao Cao's biological grandfather, that is, Cao Song's biological father, seems to be one of the three "what xing", or even Cao Bao.

Next to Cao Bao's grave, there are the graves of his two sons, Changshui Lieutenant Cao Chi and the "Confessor" Cao Yin, but there is no tomb of Taiwei Cao Song. If Cao Song is also Cao Bao's son, should his tomb also be located next to Cao Bao? No!

His grave should be located next to the grave of his father Cao Teng, not his biological father Cao Bao.

In the Chinese cross talk "Criticism of the Three Kingdoms" and "Crooked Criticism of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao's father was mentioned as "Groove Cake" and "Cao Banana".

Cao Song Cao Song, the word is very high, and he is a native of Peiguo County. His father was originally Xiahou Rui, his mother Yan, and Cao Song was Xiahou Rui's second son. Xiahou Rui was originally the commander of Nanyang County, he was an honest official, and his family was very poor, and he was dismissed because of the party dispute between the DPRK and China, and he couldn't raise a son Song when he arrived at Yan's family, so he had to leave his eldest brother Xiahou Wei and give Song to his friend Cao Teng, a great eunuch in the court, for adoption.

So Xiahou Song changed his surname to Cao Song.

Cao Song, Han Taiwei. His surname is Xiahou, and he is the uncle of Xiahou Dun, who changed his surname to Cao after being adopted by Cao Teng, and Cao Cao is Cao Teng's grandson.

It was Cao Song, who was also the father of Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei, and the captain of the Han Dynasty. Later Gaozu Cao Pi posthumously called him the emperor, his original surname was Xiahou, and he was the uncle of Xiahou Dun, and changed his surname to Cao after being adopted by Cao Teng.

Cao Song, whose real surname is Xiahou, is Xiahou Dun's uncle, and changed his surname to Cao after being adopted by Cao Teng.

According to the notes of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, Emperor Wu", "Wei and Jin Shiyu" and "Book of Wu", during the reign of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Song was killed by Zhang Min, a subordinate of Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou Prefecture, while avoiding war.

He was killed by Zhang Min, a subordinate of Mu Taoqian of Xuzhou Prefecture.

Robbed and killed by Tao Qian's subordinates in Xuzhou!

Xuzhou Tao Qian's subordinate Zhang Min was killed.
