Cao Cao's aunt Zou almost killed him. What happened to him and Zou later?

"There are beautiful and independent beauties in the north. They care about the city and then the country. " Beauty is not uncommon in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Besides Daqiao Xiaoqiao, there are many beautiful women who didn't even leave their full names. Mrs Zou is such a person. Cao Cao lost a city for her, but after the city was broken, the whereabouts of Mrs. Zou has always been a historical mystery.

It is true that beauty has been unlucky since ancient times. Mrs Zou was the wife of Zhang Ji, a warlord in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. She is outstanding in appearance and is favored by Zhang Ji. Speaking of Zhang Ji, he is also a character. During Dong Zhuo's uprising, Zhang Ji fought with Dong Zhuo in the north, and later Dong Zhuo was killed. Zhang Ji has also been leading troops to fight, wholeheartedly supporting Emperor Han Xian.

Unfortunately, Zhang Ji Zhang Ji was unlucky. In the first year of Jian 'an (196), he led the army to Rangcheng, Nanyang County. I was going to grab some rations from Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but I didn't get the food, so I took it in myself and was shot dead by an arrow.

After Zhang Ji's death, his nephew Zhang Xiu took over Zhang Ji's army and settled in Wancheng.

Zhang Xiu has always respected and loved his uncle Zhang Ji. Now that his uncle is dead, he takes care of Zhang Ji's wife and children and takes care of them in every possible way. He secretly swears from the bottom of his heart that as long as he can live for one day, he will not let his nephew and aunt be wronged. Therefore, Mrs. Zou, as her wife, also took refuge at this time.

At this point, there is no relationship between the widow Mrs. Zou and Cao Cao. However, a year later, Cao Cao planned to lead an army against Zhang Xiu, and a large group of people were stationed in Ganshui, threatening. Zhang Xiu's army is limited. As soon as he saw Cao Cao's battle, he knew he had to be serious. He thought, instead of fighting alone, it is better to go to Cao Cao and lean against the tree to enjoy the cool. So he led his men to surrender to Cao Cao.

At first, Cao Cao also doubted Zhang Xiu's sincerity. He gave a banquet in the army and invited Zhang Xiu to play together. As a result, after the whole banquet, Zhang Xiu didn't dare to look up at Cao Cao. Cao Alvin was proud when he won Nanyang. Seeing the fear and respect of Zhang Xiu and his men, Cao Cao gradually believed that the boy really came to take refuge in himself.

Facts have proved that once an old horse slips, even a person as cunning as Cao Cao will lose even a thousand thoughts.

After the surrender, Cao Cao met Mrs. Zou. The specific process of understanding is not recorded in the History of the Three Kingdoms, but it is vividly described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Cao entered the ancient city of Wanping and surrendered. One day, he drank some wine at night, half drunk and half awake. After returning to his residence, he secretly asked around if there were any beautiful women nearby. Cao Cao's nephew An Min is going to tell Cao Cao that he met a woman by chance last night. She looks unusually beautiful and asks privately. It turned out to be my aunt Mrs. Zou.

Speaking of Cao Cao's drinking, he wanted to see Zou quickly, so he sent troops to invite him. When Cao Cao saw Mrs Zou, he was very surprised. Cao is right. The woman in front of him is beautiful and unique. When Mrs Zou met Cao Cao, she not only didn't shy away from fear, but admired Cao Cao frankly, so they fell in love at first sight.

Mrs Zou told Cao Cao that if she accompanied him to live in the city, it would arouse Zhang Xiu's suspicion. So, the next day, Cao Cao moved to live outside the city. Every time I date Mrs Zou, Dian Wei will stand guard outside the door. Gentle country is the tomb of heroes. Cao Cao, 42, and Mrs Zou, a widow, really hit it off, even forgetting the purpose of his visit to Wanping Ancient City.

This kind of thing can be hidden for a while, but not for a lifetime. Soon, the story of Mrs Zou and Cao Cao reached the ears of Zhang Xiu. Zhang Ji is Zhang Xiu's most beloved uncle. He died in battle, but his wife and concubine were occupied by Cao Cao after his death, which was so insulting. At first, Zhang Xiu was unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao. After this incident, Zhang Xiu completely changed his mind and rebelled.

Zhang Xiu took Jia Xu's advice and raided Cao Cao's barracks. Cao Cao, who was pregnant with nephrite, was unprepared and was hit head-on This is the famous "Battle of Wancheng" in history, and it is also one of the most disastrous battles in Cao Cao's life.

In the melee, Cao Cao's general Dian Wei was killed and his mount Jueying was stabbed to death. Cao Ang, the eldest son of Cao Cao, saw that the situation was not good, and gave his mount to his father to escort Cao Cao to escape smoothly. Cao Ang and Cao failed to escape and died in Wancheng.

One is his beloved Dian Wei, the other is his eldest son Cao Ang, who has high hopes, and his nephew Cao Anmin, who is regarded as a confidant by Cao Cao. Cao Cao really suffered a big loss in Wancheng, because he was addicted to beauty and couldn't control himself, which led to bitter fruit and lost three important people around him. At Dian Wei's funeral, Cao Cao cried a lot.

Cao Cao later fled back to Xudu, but what was the final outcome of Mrs. Zou who fascinated him? It's a pity that the History of the Three Kingdoms and Romance of the Three Kingdoms are not explained. Perhaps the author thinks that the protagonist in this historical period will always be male, but Mrs. Zou is vague about the key tasks.

However, combined with the background of the three countries, it can still be reasonably guessed.

Zhang Xiu rebelled, Dian Wei fought in panic, and Cao Cao struggled to flee. It can be seen that the situation at that time was really chaotic. Even his own son has no time to care about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao doesn't even know whether his own life can be guaranteed. How can he have time to take care of his lover, Mrs Zou? Therefore, when Cao Cao fled from Wancheng, he should not take Mrs. Zou with him.

If it is really taken away, Mrs. Zou, as Cao Cao's bedside person, will definitely appear in the history books, and there will be no such thing as "no such person" at present.

It has been in Zhang Xiu's hand since I stayed in Wancheng. Unless Mrs. Zou is extremely clever and runs away by herself, I'm afraid the ending will not be too good. Originally, Zhang Xiu decided to take care of her widowed aunt Mrs Zou, but now, she pounced on Cao Cao, that is to say, Mrs Zou had no idea about her late husband Zhang Ji, and Zhang Xiu saw through this situation. She can shout to kill Cao Cao, but for Mrs. Zou, she probably wouldn't be allowed to live.

Cao Cao cheated on Mrs. Zou and was beaten. Poor Cao Ang died in Wancheng. Cao Ang lost his mother when he was young and was brought up by someone. The mother and son have deep feelings. After Cao Ang's death, Ding Furen refused to live with Cao Cao again and went straight back to her family. She never forgave Cao Cao until she died.

In desperation, Cao Cao established Mrs. Bian as the general affairs office, and Cao Pi, born of Mrs. Bian, naturally became the eldest son, and later inherited Cao Cao's army. It is hard to imagine that if Cao Ang, the hero of Renxiao, were still alive, the son who succeeded Cao Cao would be Cao Pi. History will not come back, but it has left us too much room for imagination.

A beautiful "widow" Mrs Zou rewrote the situation of Cao Wei in this way. Is this result expected by Cao Cao in the account of Hongluan?
