In 217, when Cao Cao continued his journey south, Cao Zhi, who stayed behind in Yecheng, even used his drunkenness to force a bus order to open the Sima Gate of the imperial city, and then galloped on the Central Avenue.
This is a disrespectful arrogance.
When Cao Cao came back, he was furious and ordered the bus order to be executed immediately. After that, he no longer trusted Cao Zhi at all. Cao Cao even suspected that Cao Zhi was able to pass various inspections before, all because Yang Xiu, a counselor who was good at guessing, leaked secrets and helped secretly.
As a result, Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu on the charge of “leaving words and teachings before and after, and befriending princes”. Cao Zhiri has fallen out of favor.
In October of the same year, Cao Cao announced to the world that Cao Pi was established as the heir. So far, Cao Zhi’s political career has been infinitely close to the end.
The pride of the past is no match for the desolation of reality. Cao Zhi began to use wine to drown his sorrows.
Two years later, Cao Ren, who was guarding Xiangfan, was besieged by Guan Yu. After a long battle, he had to ask Yecheng for help.
Cao Cao thought about it for a long time and decided to give Cao Zhi another chance, let him be the general of Nanzhong, and let him rush to Xiangfan. Before leaving, he specially summoned Cao Zhi and prepared to exhort him.
Surprisingly, Cao Zhi was too drunk to take orders.
Cao Cao was so angry that he vomited blood, so he quickly retracted his life and reassigned Yu Jin to lead 30,000 elite soldiers to support Cao Ren.
It is really rotten wood that cannot be carved.
Of course, there is another version of this.
I heard that Cao Zhi was about to set off on an expedition, and Cao Pi did it for him.
This statement is difficult to distinguish.
The Battle of Xiangfan was an important turning point in the situation at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Although Cao Zhi cannot be forced to have the perspective of God and can predict the situation of the war, no matter what the reason is, the war is imminent and he is ordered in danger.
Since then, Cao Zhi has been completely neglected, and there is no more day to come forward.
