Why did Cao Cao cry Dian Wei, and after Dian Wei died, why was Cao Cao so sad?

The second cry is more to boost morale, buy people's hearts, and motivate yourself. Cao Cao must have said in his heart while sacrificing Dian Wei, I have come to avenge you, and your spirit in the sky will definitely help me succeed.

Because Dian Wei is indeed a fierce general, Cao Cao loves Dian Wei as much as he loves Guan Yu! Besides, Dian Wei was killed to save Cao Cao, how could he not let Cao Cao grieve?

Because it does have a good relationship with Dian Wei. Sometimes there are political reasons.

However, some are true feelings, and Cao Cao is such a person.

I remember that when Mao Zonggang, a literary critic in the early Qing Dynasty, commented on Cao Cao's crying and Wei, he compared the crying of Dianwei with Guo Jia, who cried after the defeat of the Chibi army.

for he wants to buy hearts and minds.

There are two reasons, one is to buy people's hearts, and the other is because although Cao Cao is a traitor, he attaches great importance to talents, and he generally regards talents as more important than his son.

The origin of the story of Cao Cao's crying Dian Wei:

Legend has it that Cao Cao fell in love with his sister-in-law in the process of subduing Zhang Xiu, and forcibly took it for himself, which made Zhang Xiu feel as if he had suffered a great shame, so under the planning of his own strategists, he suddenly raised troops to rebel one night and launched an attack on Cao Cao, because he did not expect Zhang Xiu to come to this trick in advance, so Cao Cao's army was defeated for a while, at this time Dian Wei in order to be able to successfully cover Cao Cao's escape, has been rushing to the front bloody battle, but due to the number of enemy troops too much, Dian Wei was seriously wounded and gradually exhausted, and finally died in battle. Similarly, in this war, Cao Cao's two children were also killed, one was beheaded, and the other was chopped to death.

However, when Cao Cao, who had escaped, heard these news, he did not cry bitterly because of the death of his child, on the contrary, he began to cry loudly when he learned that he had broken the general Dian Wei. A year after this had passed, Cao Cao once again passed by this place during his march, and he could not help crying, and ordered his soldiers to set up a banquet to pay tribute to Dian Wei's soul. This is the origin of the famous Cao Cao crying Dianwei.

Dian Wei (?) 197), Chen Liujiwu (now Jiwucheng Village, Ningling County, Shangqiu City, Henan). At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's generals were burly and powerful.

It originally belonged to Zhang Miao, and later returned to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao conquered Lü Bu, he was recruited into battle, performed bravely, and was worshiped as a lieutenant and guarded Cao Cao. In the second year of Jian'an (197), Zhang Xiu betrayed Cao Cao, and Dian Wei blocked the rebels alone in order to protect Cao Cao, killing many people, but finally died in battle because he was outnumbered.

After Dian Wei's death, why was Cao Cao so sad? For this question, I believe you have a lot of doubts, so let's explain it to you. Cao Cao was a king in the Han Dynasty, so he was very sad just because a person died, it must be because this person was a very wise person, able to assist, and helped him a lot during his lifetime, so after his death, he was not only sad, but also regretful.

So, what are the factors behind this? In fact, the first point is that Dian Wei is the first fierce general under Cao Cao, what we all know is that although Cao Cao is fierce and very ruthless, he is a relatively Meiji monarch, he is very cherished and virtuous to get a person. And Dian Wei happened to be a very fierce soldier, a general who won his heart, after his death, Cao Cao was bound to be very sad; The second point is that Dian Wei once saved Cao Cao's life, if it wasn't for Dian Wei, Cao Cao might have died a long time ago, so this is a life-saving kindness; The third point is that if Cao Cao hadn't been greedy for beauty, and then went to Zhang Xiu's aunt, who would have fallen to the general, this would not have happened, and he must have regretted it very much in his heart, so we can feel that Dian Wei died because of this, and it was indeed a bit "worthless" to die.

As a generation of kings, Cao Cao's characteristics are also very obvious, the first is that he is suspicious, vicious and cruel by nature. Therefore, it is not unusual for him to become a king, but Cao Cao is a man of great talent and power, but he is very suspicious and very insecure. However, Cao Cao was a man with a discerning eye for heroes, a virtuous lord who could shoulder heavy responsibilities.

He still has a lot of advantages, such as his ability to act meritocracy, know people well, such as Guan Yu and Dian Wei as examples. These are very clear and typical examples.

Therefore, after Dian Wei's death, he will be very sad.

On the one hand, because Dian Wei once saved Cao Cao's life, and on the other hand, because Dian Wei was the first fierce general.

Because at Cao Cao's most dangerous moment, he happened to meet Dian Wei, and he pulled Cao Cao back from the ghost gate for the second time. Dian Wei's ability as a guard is great.

Because they are very good brothers, he is very sad about Dian Wei's death.

Dian Wei is Cao Cao's rare fierce general, it's not that he likes Aunt Zhang Xiudi too much, which beautiful little widow, Dian Wei will not die. Dian Wei himself
