Reflections on the 1,800th anniversary of the Battle of Chibi

Perhaps I am being too naive, or perhaps my thoughts are unrealistic. However, if one were to return to the Three Kingdoms period, and the only goal was to become emperor, then what drama could there be? It would merely involve gathering various heroes, engaging in internal strife and external battles, and ultimately unifying the realm. I believe there are already too many stories like this.

The fire at Chibi seems to have burned away the unstoppable momentum that Cao Cao had built up since the first year of Jian'an when he welcomed Emperor Xian of Han to Xuxian. The Battle of Chibi can be regarded as a turning point in Cao Cao's life, transforming his dream of unifying the realm into a fantasy of dynastic change.

And I just want to give him an opportunity for an alternative choice

This fire was ignited exactly one thousand eight hundred years ago

Secondly, regarding whether the people of Wei m.hetushucom .com are Han people, I believe this assertion is open to discussion. Of course, I am not claiming to be correct, but the emergence of Cao Wei inspired the opportunity for a change of dynasties. Soon after, there was the Jin dynasty, followed by the chaos of the Five Barbarians in China. I do not know how many of the so-called Han people are still the original Han people. We are all of the Han ethnicity, so I still hope to be a person of the great Han dynasty, rather than a person of the Jin, Sui, Tang, or even Qing dynasties. Although we have always been referred to as Han people, the term 'Han ethnicity' seems to have come too late in China's concept of nationality.

Thirdly, regarding whether I have read the "Records of the Three Kingdoms," I can simply say that I am not an expert on this subject. I cannot recite it fluently; I have only read it carefully twice, and even now, there are many details that I am not very clear about. I have also looked at some materials from the Han Dynasty, which have given me a preliminary impression, but I am still far from being proficient. If there are readers who study the history of the Qin and Han Dynasties, I welcome your guidance. However, discussions based on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are unnecessary. I read it in my childhood, and now I have mostly forgotten it.

At least I believe that initially, Cao Cao had the dream of being a loyal minister to save the country. His statement about wanting to be a general for the western campaigns in the "Self-Explanatory Edict" is not entirely a disguise. To some extent, I think Cao Cao was indeed a person qualified, courageous, and magnanimous enough to speak the truth

Firstly, this protagonist is not a true genius. He will certainly grow quickly, but his past experiences do not provide him much assistance in the short term. He can invent the printing press, he can invent the stirrup, he can modify the thunderbolt vehicle, but his strategies cannot be significantly superior to those of his contemporaries. His success in the first volume is largely due to Zhou Buyi's contributions, as well as luck. I ask readers who enjoy invincible protagonists to forgive this.

I often wonder whether Cao Cao had the idea of usurping the throne from the very beginning, or if he initially aimed to establish the Cao dynasty. There are many interpretations regarding this matter. Many people seem to accept the narrative presented in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" or adhere to those who consider themselves orthodox, claiming that he intended to be a treacherous minister from the outset. I find this difficult to comprehend. How could someone who is contemplating a change of dynasty recklessly lead five thousand new troops to challenge the renowned Xiliang army while other powerful warlords remain inactive?

Additionally, I will mention several issues raised in the book reviews

Today is December 22, 2008. Yesterday was the Winter Solstice. While taking a ride in the morning, I suddenly thought of a question. In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, which is the year 208 AD, around December during the Winter Solstice, Cao Cao was deceived into surrendering at Wulin. Huang Gai set fire to the naval camp, which also burned his dream of unifying the world. Shortly thereafter, Jiangling fell, and multiple attempts to attack Wu could only take the route through Jiujiang, resulting in repeated failures. Huang Gai set fire to the naval camp, which also burned his dream of unifying the world. Shortly thereafter, Jiangling fell, and multiple attempts to attack Wu could only take the route through Jiujiang, resulting in repeated failures. This military genius only revealed his talent during a battle in Guanzhong when he defeated Ma Chao; his other campaigns to take Hanzhong and multiple expeditions against Wu yielded little success.

On the occasion of the 1,800th anniversary of the Battle of Chibi, I compose this text.

I do not know how many people will find this uninteresting, however, I believe that more people will find it interesting

In this novel, I am precisely based on this idea: I believe that under the current circumstances, Cao Cao may have developed thoughts of changing the dynasty, but he has not yet reached the point of necessity for such a change. His subsequent actions are the inevitable result of being compelled to do so.
