＊公元196年，被董卓劫持到西安的汉献帝在董卓死后，历尽千辛万苦，又回到了当时的首都洛阳。这时的洛阳已经是一片废墟，破败不堪，在洛阳，皇帝和百官的饮食起居甚至形同乞丐。曹操在得到这一消息后，果断地采纳谋士毛玠“奉天子以令不臣”的建议，想方设法把皇帝从洛阳接到了自己的根据地许县。
In 196 AD, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, who was abducted to Xi’an by Dong Zhuo, went through countless hardships and returned to the then capital Luoyang after Dong Zhuo’s death. At this time, Luoyang was already in ruins and dilapidated. In Luoyang, the food and drink of emperors and officials were even like beggars. After receiving this news, Cao Cao decisively adopted the suggestion of Mao Jie, a counselor, to “serve the Son of Heaven as an order without obedience,” and tried every means to transfer the emperor from Luoyang to his base, Xu County.
曹操把汉献帝接到许县以后，立即就把自己的行辕腾了出来作为皇帝的行宫，客客气气地供奉起来，礼仪、礼节那是非常地到家，绝不像西北军阀那样子无法无天、吆三喝四。当年皇帝在从长安迁到洛阳的路上，每天他也是上朝的哩，就找一个农民的院儿，往当中一坐，大家都来行礼如仪。那些西北军的军阀、军官和士兵们都在农家院外面看着闹，啊，这皇帝上朝是这样的。这种事情到曹操这里是没有的，曹操完全按照汉官威仪、大汉王朝的礼仪中规中矩地来供奉这个皇帝，而且安排皇帝生活的时候做得非常地周到和细心，很像一个大管家的样子。最让皇帝感动的是什么呢？是曹操送来了大量急需的生活用品，你要知道这个皇帝他是个逃难的，他可能脸盆都没有，曹操把所有的这些东西都送来了，然后上了一份奏折，叫做《上杂物疏》。《上杂物疏》怎么说呢，说陛下，现在臣献上来的都是当年先帝赐给臣祖父和父亲的，御用的器皿，这些器皿臣的祖父和臣的父亲放在家里从来就没敢用过，那是先帝的恩德，我们是供奉在家里的，现在臣觉得应该还给皇上了。
After Cao Cao received Emperor Han Xiandi from Xu County, he immediately vacated his own shaft as the emperor’s palace and courteously offered it. The etiquette and etiquette were very good, and he was never as lawless as the northwest warlords. When the emperor was on his way from Chang’an to Luoyang, he also went to court every day. He found a farmer’s yard and sat in the middle. Everyone came to salute as if they were ceremonious. The warlords, officers, and soldiers of the Northwest Army were all watching the noise outside the farmyard. Ah, this is how the emperor went to court. “This kind of thing is not available to Cao Cao, who worshipped the emperor completely in accordance with the official authority of the Han Dynasty and the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, and arranged the emperor’s life with great care and care, much like a big butler.”. What moved the emperor most? It was Cao Cao who sent a large number of urgently needed daily necessities. You should know that this emperor was a fugitive, and he probably didn’t have a basin. Cao Cao sent all these things and then handed in a memorial called “Shangwushu”. “What do you mean by” Shangzaoshu “? Your Majesty, what I offer now are all the utensils that were given to my grandfather and father by the former emperor in those days. These utensils have never been used by my grandfather and father when they were at home. That’s the grace of the former emperor. We are worshipping them at home, and now I think it’s time to return them to the emperor.”.
这一手是做得非常漂亮的，我们知道做人情的诀窍在什么地方？做人情最重要的是千万不要让对方觉得你在做人情，不要让对方觉得欠了你的。我们很多人不会做人情，钱也没少花，还老提醒人家，你看我送了你什么东西啊。那么在这个时候皇帝已经是跟叫花子差不多，有人给他他就很感谢了，当然他还得摆个架子。那么其他的军阀有没有送东西的？有，叫做孝敬，但是你再孝敬那也是我孝敬的，这东西还是我的；曹操说这东西都不是我的，这东西本来就是皇上的，现在我是还给皇上，我是还东西，不是送东西。这样表面上看曹操一点人情都没有，皇帝用起来当之无愧、理直气壮，大家想想这是种什么样的心理感觉。汉献帝虽然是个傀儡皇帝，他不是糊涂人，他是明白人，他马上就明白了曹操的这样一份用心。当然这个时候我估计汉献帝是从好的方面去理解的，怎么理解的：大大的忠臣，这是天底下最难得的忠臣，看来我们汉家的这个国运恐怕是要仪仗曹某人了。这是我猜测的，我觉得这个猜测还是合逻辑的，他会产生这样一种感动和这样一种想法。
This skill is beautifully done, and we know where the secret of making human relationships lies? The most important thing to do is not to make the other person feel that you are doing favors, and not to make the other person feel that they owe you. Many of us don’t know how to be human, and we don’t spend less money. We always remind people what I have given you. “At this time, the emperor was almost like a beggar, and he would be grateful if someone gave him something. Of course, he had to put on airs.”. So did any other warlords send anything? Yes, it’s called filial piety, but if you are filial piety, it’s also my filial piety, and this thing is still mine; Cao Cao said that these things are not mine. They were originally owned by the emperor, but now I return them to the emperor. I return them, not give them away. On the surface, it seems that Cao Cao has no human feelings at all, and the emperor is worthy of it and justifiable to use it. Let’s think about what kind of psychological feeling this is. Although Han Xiandi was a puppet emperor, he was not a fool, he was an understanding person, and he immediately understood Cao Cao’s intention. Of course, at this time, I estimate that Emperor Xian of Han understood it from a good perspective. How did he understand it? Great loyal ministers, the most rare loyal ministers in the world, it seems that the national fortune of our Han family is probably due to the honor guard Cao. This is my guess, and I think it is still logical. He will have such a feeling and such an idea.
＊曹操的殷勤让汉献帝十分感动，他任命曹操为大将军，这虽然是虚衔，但曹操得到了一面在当时看来是正义的旗帜。做事情师出有名，在政治上大大地捞了一把，这让其他诸侯十分眼红。那么，当时实力强大的诸侯袁绍又是如何对待这件事情的呢？
袁绍这个人的特点是什么呢？是反应慢，我们将来讲官渡之战的时候我还要讲这一点，袁绍和曹操比他的反应总是晚半拍。曹操一抢先袁绍反应过来了，反应过来以后仗着他人多势众，他也提出来说他也要迎奉皇帝，他说皇帝不能住在洛阳，洛阳已经被董卓毁掉了；也不能住在许县，许县那个地方不好，地势很低，很潮湿，我们皇上住那儿不舒服，应该把他移到甄城来，就是移到袁绍的地盘来，准备和曹操共享这一张王牌。曹操听了以后肚子里好笑，我到手的肥肉说分一口给你，有这么好的事吗？嘴巴上不能这样说，于是曹操用皇帝的名义下一道诏书，一本正经地教训了袁绍一番，说袁绍啊，你确实兵多将广，你也确实实力雄厚，那么朕流离失所的时候怎么没见到你来勤王啊？怎么一天到晚看见你不是发展自己的势力，就是攻击别人啊？你对大汉王朝的忠心何在啊？袁绍也清楚这个东西就是曹操写的，那不会是皇帝写的，但是是皇帝的名义盖了皇帝的印发出来，只好写一封检讨书。你说这不是政治上他又吃了一亏吗？
“Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was deeply moved by Cao Cao’s hospitality. He appointed Cao Cao as a general. Although this was a false title, Cao Cao obtained a banner that seemed to be just at the time.”. Doing things by becoming famous and making a big political profit has made other princes very jealous. So, how did the powerful vassal Yuan Shao treat this matter?
What are the characteristics of Yuan Shao? “It’s a slow reaction. When we talk about the Battle of Guandu in the future, I will also talk about this point. Yuan Shao and Cao Cao always react half a time later than him.”. As soon as Cao Cao preempted Yuan Shao’s reaction, he relied on others to gain momentum. He also proposed that he should also welcome the emperor. He said that the emperor could not live in Luoyang, which had been destroyed by Dong Zhuo; “We cannot live in Xu County, which is not a good place. The terrain is very low and humid. Our emperor is uncomfortable living there. We should move him to Zhen City, that is, to Yuan Shao’s territory, and prepare to share this trump card with Cao Cao.”. After hearing this, Cao Cao’s stomach was funny. I said to give you a bite of the fat I got. Is there such a good thing? “You can’t say that on your lips, so Cao Cao issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor and solemnly taught Yuan Shao a lesson. He said, ‘Yuan Shao, you have a large army and a broad army, and you are indeed powerful. So why didn’t you come to Qin Wang when I was displaced?'”? How come I see you either developing your own power or attacking others all day long? What is your loyalty to the Han Dynasty? Yuan Shao also knew that this thing was written by Cao Cao, which could not have been written by the emperor, but it was printed and distributed in the name of the emperor, so he had to write a review letter. Aren’t you saying that he has suffered another loss politically?
