Behind Zhang Miao s betrayal of Cao Cao, who is to blame?

It was Chen Gong and Lu Bu who were making trouble, when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou, Lu Bu and Chen Gong attacked Cao Cao's base camp in the back, and Chen Gong acted as a lobbyist to persuade the people around Cao Cao to make them rebel, Chen Gong finally succeeded and persuaded Zhang Miao, and finally Zhang Miao rebelled and assisted Lu Bu and Chen Gong to sneak attack Cao Cao's base camp, but fortunately, Chen Yu and Xun Yu swore not to betray Cao Cao, leaving a foundation for Cao Cao. <>

Zhang Miao is a character in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the reason why Zhang Miao is famous is because Zhang Miao is a very good person, Zhang Miao likes to act chivalrous and righteous, and squander money, so Zhang Miao was the embodiment of justice at that time. Later, Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Yuan Shao summoned the princes of the Eighteenth Road to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Zhang Miao came at this time to bring an army to crusade against Dong Zhuo, but the princes had their own ghosts, and they didn't contribute much, the most contributed was Sun Jian and Cao Cao, when Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo, Zhang Miao also contributed, at this time the relationship between the two was still very good, but in the end, although Dong Zhuo was driven out of Luoyang, but did not save the Son of Heaven. <>

Later, Zhang Miao said bad things about Yuan Shao behind his back, which was known by Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao asked Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao, but Cao Cao did not do this, but pleaded with Zhang Miao, and finally Yuan Shao also listened to Cao Cao's opinion, so that Cao Cao still had a life-saving grace for Zhang Miao. Since then, Cao Cao has trusted Zhang Miao very much, and later Cao Cao wanted to attack Xuzhou in order to avenge his father, but what he didn't expect was that not long after Cao Cao went, his base camp was attacked by Lu Bu, and there was Zhang Miao in it. <>

Cao Cao regarded Zhang Miao as a confidant, but Zhang Miao did not recognize Cao Cao very much, otherwise Zhang Miao would not have been moved by Chen Gong's words, Zhang Miao abandoned Cao Cao and chose Lu Bu It was an unwise choice, maybe Zhang Miao was very ambitious, and wanted Lu Bu to help him fight the world, and finally kicked Lu Bu away, but what he didn't expect was that they were not Cao Cao's opponents at all.

The reason why Zhang Miao betrayed Cao Cao was because of Lu Bu and Chen Gong. Chen Gong first took the lead in promoting Cao Cao to make the Yanzhou assassin history, and then when Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, he took the lead in provoking Zhang Miao to betray Cao Cao.

Zhang Miao's own brain was in water. Cao Cao regarded him as Tuogu's brother, and then went to fight Tao Qian to take revenge, Zhang Miao has been following Cao Cao and Yuan Shao since he was a child, and he should know that Cao Cao's energy is huge, as long as he follows Cao Cao to the dark, he can lie down and win. It's a pity that his brain is not bright, and he has a good future, and he was finally killed by his angry subordinates.

It was Lu Bu and Chen Gong, who were attacking Cao Cao at the time, and successfully persuaded Zhang Miao to betray Cao Cao, and assisted Lu Bu in attacking Cao Cao together.

It was Chen Gong, because Zhang Miao was originally good friends with Lu Bu, and Chen Gong wanted to go to Lu Bu, so he pulled him into the water.

The name of the best friend is Zhang Miao, the word Meng Zhuo, and he is a native of Shouzhang, Dongping County. Zhang Miao has a bold personality and is righteous, "less chivalrous, revitalizing the poor and emergency, and having no love for his family", and is deeply supported by the literati. A long time ago, Zhang Miao met Cao Cao and Yuan Shu of the Three Kingdoms and became friends with them.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, a disaster broke out in the party, and many famous scholars continued to emerge during the period, such as "Three Gentlemen", "Eight Jun", "Eight Gu", "Eight Ji", "Eight Kitchens", etc., and Zhang Miao, who helped the poor, was one of the "Eight Kitchens".

Cao Cao and Zhang Miao of the Three Kingdoms raised the banner of righteousness to crusade against Dong Zhuo. After the establishment of the Kwantung Coalition Army, the vassal states were too high, and no one was willing to send troops to Luoyang City, only Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms personally led the troops to go, Zhang Miao did not go in person, and he sent his subordinate Wei Zi to lead the army to accompany him. After Yuan Shu honored the lord, he was very arrogant, and Zhang Miao made accusations, which led to Yuan Shu's disdain.

Yuan Shu instead asked Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms to kill Zhang Miao, but Cao Cao refused, "Meng Zhuo, relatives and friends, right and wrong should be tolerated." Today's next is to be determined, and it is not suitable for self-endangerment. ”

Cao Cao became the pastor of Yanzhou in the Three Kingdoms, while Zhang Miao still made a history of Chen Liu's assassination, which constituted the relationship between various departments. However, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms still trusted Zhang Miao very much, and in 193, when she led her troops to conquer Tao Qian for the first time, she told her family: "If I don't pay back, I will go to Meng Zhuo."

After that, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms returned with his troops and met Zhang Miao, and the two of them cried relative to each other, "their relatives are like this". Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms even handed over his family to Zhang Miao, which shows Zhang Miao's influence in the minds of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms. However, the two have formed a barrier.

This may be due to the fact that Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms brutalized local celebrities during the Yanzhou period, such as Bian Rang, which led to Zhang Miao's disdain, and he belonged to the clan after all. In addition, when Xiahou Chun got rid of Yuan Shu, he once passed Zhang Miao's place, and the two of them "swore together", which made Yuan Shu very angry. Zhang Miao was worried that Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms would kill him for Yuan Shu, so he was very restless.

At this time, Chen Gong appeared again.

The rebel Chen Gong was articulate, "The Jinzhou army is in the east, it is boring, Xiahou Chun's soldiers, good at fighting, if the right to welcome it, co-shepherd Yanzhou, observe the situation in the world, and adapt to the current affairs hotspots, this is also one of the times", according to that words moved Zhang Miao. Therefore, Zhang Miao and his younger brothers Li Sheng and Chen Gong launched a mutiny and ushered in Xiahou Chun to enter Yanzhou. For a time, the prefectures and counties of Yanzhou responded one after another, and there were only three counties left in Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms, and the situation was shaky.

At this time, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms had already attacked Xuzhou City, and only betrayed after learning about it, and quickly led his troops back. Through a series of battles, Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms won the Battle of Dingtao and drove Xiahou Chun's camp out of Yanzhou. Zhang Miao followed Xiahou Chun to Xuzhou City to seek refuge with Uncle Liu Huang, while his relatives stayed in Yongqiu City.

Zhang Miao completely pained Cao Cao's heart, and almost let Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms sleep on the streets, and even perished, so after breaking through Yongqiu, he did not care about his former friendship and killed all of Zhang Miao's family. On the way to ask Yuan Shu for help, Zhang Miao was killed by his own men.

Zhang Miao and Cao Cao became friends, but in the end they were destroyed by Cao Cao, and the two brothers who had experienced many lives and deaths finally became enemies because of their interests. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and slaughtered the city frantically, killing hundreds of thousands of unarmed civilians, so Zhang Miao completely betrayed Cao Cao in a fit of rage.

It was because Cao Cao came to his house when he fled before, and the Zhang family originally wanted to kill pork for him to entertain him, but Cao Cao thought that the Zhang family had killed him, and then he destroyed the Zhang family.

In fact, it was because Cao Cao always suspected that the other party was the one who wanted to kill him, and Cao Cao was very cautious.

Zhang Miao and Cao Cao have a very good personal relationship, and the two can be regarded as good friends, which is why Cao Cao will be very angry in the face of his friend's betrayal. But Chen Gong is different, although he followed Cao Cao earlier, but he and Cao Cao are only a strategist and a lord, if Cao Cao kills the other party, it will chill the hearts of the corporals in the world.

Although the Romance of the Three Kingdoms portrays Cao Cao as a narrow-minded person, in fact, in real history, Cao Cao is still relatively open-minded, as long as it does not hurt his feelings, Cao Cao will not kill those who betray him under normal circumstances. For example, Chen Gong, when Cao Cao was wanted by the imperial court, he met Chen Gong, who was doing a county order, but the other party not only did not report him, but gave up his official position and followed him to wander, so for Cao Cao, Chen Gong is a very loyal person.

But later, Chen Gong couldn't get used to Cao Cao's indiscriminate killing of innocents, so he left him. After Cao Cao caught Chen Gong, he didn't kill him, because Chen Gong was kind to him, and Chen Gong was just a powerless literati, if he was killed, it would be very unfavorable to Cao Cao's plan to recruit talents, so he would treat the other party's family well.

But Zhang Miao is different, they had a very good relationship when they were working under Yuan Shao, and the two could be regarded as confidants. For anyone, the betrayal of a confidant in life will make this person suffer a big blow, so staring at Cao Cao will be very angry. If Cao Cao didn't deal with Zhang Miao, then the world would laugh at him for being a man with eyes and no beads.

Although Zhang Miao had a certain amount of power and prestige in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Miao not only ran away from his camp, but also intended to borrow troops from Yuan Shu to attack Cao Cao. Unfortunately, however, he was killed by a soldier under his own hand on his way to borrow a soldier. If he hadn't been killed, the end result would probably have been captured alive by Cao Cao.

It can be seen that for Zhang Miao, as long as he rebels against Cao Cao, there will be no good results.

Because Cao Cao's attitude towards Chen Gong and Zhang Miao was different, and Chen Gong was relatively intelligent, the treatment of the two was completely different.

The main reason is that these two people have different personalities, and they don't deal with each other very well, so the treatment is not the same.

Because Zhang Miao and Mu Yinnian did not meet Cao Cao, and he was a greater threat to Cao Cao, and Chen Gong was often quick to laugh with Cao Cao, Cao Cao's feelings for them were naturally different.

After he defected to Cao Cao, he was not reused, but was isolated in a vague way, so he finally betrayed.

According to the inference of history, when Chen Gong persuaded Zhang Miao, there were two points when Lu Bu was mentioned, the first was that Lu Bu was brave and strong, and the second was to temporarily push him as the main one. Zhang Miao agreed to Chen Gong's strategy, probably the purpose of which was to use Lu Bu's bravery to expel the male lord Cao Cao, and then become the boss of Yanzhou himself.

Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, as well as Zhang Miao's younger brother Zhang Chao, found the right time to resolutely open the gates of Yanzhou when Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou and welcomed Lü Bu to occupy Yan Yanzhou. At the same time, the counties under Yanzhou also responded to their actions, and by the time Cao Cao reacted, there were only three county towns left in his territory in Yanzhou. This also forced Cao Cao to immediately give up the attack on Xuzhou and lead his army back to quell the rebellion.

In the end, Lü Bu did not defeat Cao Cao, and Cao Cao successfully recaptured Yanzhou. Zhang Miao saw that the situation was not right, so he immediately chose to go to Xuzhou with Lu Bu to join Liu Bei, but his family stayed in Yongqiu. Cao Cao naturally would not allow a force that did not belong to him to remain in his territory, so it took him nearly a year to finally attack the strong Yongqiu and kill all of Zhang Miao's family.

Zhang Miao was too punctual in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao had a good personal relationship, often relying on Cao Cao's army to protect the territory and the people, open up the territory and expand the territory, Zhang Miao was Cao Cao's logistical support, but as Cao Cao's army became stronger and stronger, Yanzhou slowly became Cao Cao's base, Zhang Miao was unwilling to lose Yanzhou, and took advantage of Cao Cao's expedition when he colluded with Lu Bu and Chen Gong to occupy Cao Cao's base.

Because Zhang Miao betrayed Cao Cao first, Zhang Miao almost made Cao Cao homeless, so for Cao Cao, Zhang Miao is no longer the Zhang Miao who shared the hardships in the past, he is now Cao Cao's enemy, so he will be exterminated by Cao Cao.

Because he betrayed Cao Cao and took refuge in Lü Bu at the instigation of Chen Gong, Cao Cao was very angry and exterminated him.

Because the king has no eternal friends, once he threatens the imperial power, no one will let go, Zhang Miao is a master of high merit, which makes the suspicious Cao Cao feel uneasy.

Cao Cao trusted Zhang Miao with life and death, and Zhang Miao betrayed Cao Cao because Yuan Shao sowed discord and feared that he would be killed, which caused Zhang Miao to rebel against Cao Cao during the second expedition to Xuzhou.

Because he felt that following Cao Cao would not have a good future, and even Cao Cao might kill himself, so he betrayed Cao Cao.

It was provoked by Chen Gong. Chen Gong provoked and said: "After Cao Cao occupies Xuzhou, the next one will definitely make a move on Yanzhou, you have a very high prestige in Yanzhou, Cao Cao will definitely kill you first, don't forget, Cao Cao even killed his benefactor Lu Boyu."

This Zhang Miao then believed it and betrayed Cao Cao in order to save his life.

Zhang Miao had an alliance with Lü Bu in private, when Yuan Shao pursued and killed Lü Bu, Zhang Miao was afraid of causing trouble to himself, so in order to save his life, he betrayed Cao Cao.
