What was Cao Cao s first official position, and what did he do?

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty set up eight captains in Xiyuan in order to consolidate his rule, and Cao Cao was appointed as the lieutenant of the eight lieutenants because of his family background.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, abolished the young emperor, set up the emperor Liu Xie, and later killed the queen mother and the young emperor, claiming to be the prime minister, specializing in court politics. Cao Cao saw that Dong Zhuo was perverse and unwilling to cooperate with him, so he changed his name and fled from Luoyang, the capital (northeast of present-day Luoyang, Henan).

After Cao Cao arrived in Chenliu, he "scattered his wealth and joined the righteous soldiers". Organized an army of 5,000 men and prepared to crusade against Dong Zhuo.

In the first month of the first year of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty (190), the county pastor of Guandong Prefecture raised troops to defeat Dong Zhuo and elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance. Cao Cao, as a general of Xingfenwu, participated in the fight against Dong's army.

was first a general, and then ceded to Yuan Shao, who led himself to the captain, and later defeated Yuan Shao, abolished the three dukes and established the prime minister. Later, he was called the Duke of Wei, and later called the King of Wei, and the capital was Yecheng.

In the third year of Emperor Ling's reign (174), the twenty-year-old Cao Cao was promoted to filial piety and entered Luoyang as a lang. Soon, he was appointed lieutenant of northern Luoyang. Luoyang is the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it is a place where the imperial family and nobles live, and it is difficult to govern.

As soon as Cao Cao arrived, he affirmed the ban, strictly enforced the law and discipline, and made more than ten five-colored sticks, which hung around the yamen, "Those who violate the ban will be killed." The emperor's favored eunuch Jian Shuo's uncle Jian Tu violated the ban on night walking, and Cao Cao showed no mercy and executed Jian Tu with a five-colored stick. As a result, "the Beijing master has collected traces, and no one dares to offend".

Cao Cao's first official position during the Eastern Han Dynasty was the northern lieutenant of Luoyang, and he gradually expanded his military power during the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the crusade against Dong Zhuo.

20 years old, the northern lieutenant of Luoyang was 23 years old, and the 30-year-old commander of Dunzao this hill was killed. Sick and secluded. 34 years old, Dian Military Captain (Xiyuan Eighth Captain) 36 years old, General Fenwu 38 years old, Heng Wei Bei Yanzhou Mu 42 years old, Zhenjun General, Si Li Lieutenant, Lu Shang Shushi.

Sikong, general of the chariot cavalry. 51 years old, Jizhou Mu 54 years old, Prime Minister 59 years old, Wei Gong 62 years old, Wei Wang 66 years old, died of illness.

During the Three Kingdoms period, due to the division of princes, the position of school captain was flooded all over the world. When the princes of the Eighteenth Road were discussing Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo named Huaxiong as the captain of the Xiao Cavalry. It can be seen that the military system of the Xiao Cavalry Captain is very large. It can command 50,000 troops, and there is no division of troops.

The title of the captain of the Xiao cavalry is similar to the "general of the Xiao cavalry" and "the captain of the Yue cavalry", "the captain of the Hu cavalry", and the "captain of the tun cavalry" in the Han system. General Xiaocai once awarded the famous "flying general" Li Guang of the Western Han Dynasty.

The remaining three lieutenants are permanent military positions in different periods of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty. Among them, the Tun Cavalry Captain was once changed to the Xiao Cavalry Captain in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but the original name was restored in the fifteenth year (39 years) of Emperor Guangwu's Jianwu.
