The main contents of Cao Cao's sword stabbing Dong Zhuo (20~30 words)

In order to get rid of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and Cao Cao decided to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and Cao Cao borrowed a seven-star knife from Wang Yun to assassinate Dong Zhuo. It was discovered only because of the reflection of the mirror. Because Dong was powerful, and Lu Bu had arrived at this time, Cao Cao played it by ear and fooled him in the name of offering a sword. Later, he hurried out of Dong Xiangfu, thus saving his life.

This story adds vivid plots to The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and promotes the development of the novel. It also makes readers understand Cao Cao's humanity. It is not appropriate to directly evaluate Cao Cao as a Han thief during the turmoil of the Three Kingdoms period. The story of Meng De's offering a knife just shows Cao Cao's wit and ability to improvise, paving the way for great achievements in the future.

Extended data:

Cao Cao was skilled in the art of war and played an active role in unifying the North. After the Yellow turban insurrectionary uprising, the Eastern Han Dynasty disintegrated and warlords scuffled. In the melee, not only Dong Zhuo, Li Jue and other Liangzhou warlords slaughtered people everywhere and robbed property. From the second year of Chuping to the thirteenth year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao eliminated the separatist forces north of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and unified most of northern China.

Cao Cao's war to unify the north lasted 17 years, which was a battle for the founding of Cao Wei and laid a solid foundation for the later unification of China in the Western Jin Dynasty.
