Why is Cao Cao more of a hero than Liu Bei?

When Cao Cao and Liu Bei were cooking wine and talking about heroes, they directly ignored the existence of Dongwu and said that in today's society, only you Liu Bei and I Cao Cao are heroes, but in actual performance, relative to Liu Bei, Cao Cao may be the real hero. The definition of a hero in ancient times was generally a brave warrior and relatively outstanding, and Cao Cao was able to put down his body and beg his wife to go home, but Liu Bei abandoned his wife and daughter, so in a broad sense, Cao Cao's actions are more like a hero than Liu Bei.

1. Although Cao Cao was in power, he did not claim the title of emperor. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes and grasped the real power, and Emperor Han Xian was called the puppet emperor, but Cao Cao did not call the emperor from beginning to end, and after Cao Cao took power, he avoided large-scale wars in the country. Although Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty did not have real power, he still had the title of emperor.

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei rebelled and became the emperor in the name of Uncle Liu given by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, so Liu Bei did not do as well as Cao Cao in this regard.

2. Cao Cao saved people from war. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was relatively turbulent, and Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty simply did not have the ability to control the overall situation. After Cao Cao seized real power, the wars he launched were all to maintain the stability of the country and save the country from the suffering of war, and the Shu Han established by Liu Bei, in order to expand his own rights, repeatedly launched the Northern Expedition War, which was undoubtedly inappropriate for the rest and recuperation of the common people.

Third, Cao Cao is a traitorous male. Although Cao Cao is like a hero, he is more often called a traitor, and a traitor refers to those heroes who act without principles. Although Liu Bei is more benevolent and has always been known for his benevolence and righteousness, while Cao Cao prefers to kill those who disobey him, but from the perspective of the overall situation, everyone is fighting for their rights.

People have different perceptions of the same thing, so they will have different perspectives.

Because the heroes we talk about are all bent and stretched. And Cao Cao is such a person. Able to put down his body and beg his wife to come home in person.

It can be seen that the attitude of his eldest husband. But Liu Bei abandoned his wife and children for his own future. It's impossible to be called a hero.

Because Cao Cao's political program is very clear, he is a politician, he has foresight, and he is a traitor in troubled times.

Because Dong Zhuo was in charge of the government at that time, and the people were not living well, Cao Cao at least went to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and during Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the Han family was also revitalized to a certain extent.

Cao Cao is more of a hero than Liu Bei, Cao Cao is more resourceful than Liu Bei, while Liu Bei is indecisive, often misses opportunities, and is too loyal.

Because Cao Cao's talent is higher than Liu Bei's, and Cao Cao is more decisive and courageous.

Because Cao Cao cherished talent and helped the Han Dynasty rule continue for decades, he also worked to unify the country and let Baixin live a prosperous life.

I think the main reason is that Liu Bei has a very humble attitude and treats everyone as a corporal of courtesy, so Cao Cao thinks that everyone is very patient and does not change his face in the face of humiliation, so he believes that he is a hero.

Because Liu Bei is a very smart person, he will be valued by the other party, and Liu Bei's personal qualities are also very good.
