更离谱的是什么呢？是有一天这几个高干子弟在那儿百无聊赖，说今天都没有什么好玩儿的，那个时候的确好玩的东西也不多，不像现在可以上网。我们都无聊啊，有什么好玩的吗？曹操说，有件好玩儿的事，今天有人结婚，我们去闹一闹。袁绍他们说，闹什么闹？偷新娘子。袁绍说好，我们就去偷新娘子。然后一伙人就跑到结婚的人家，到了晚上快要入洞房了，大家都在喝喜酒，曹操就大喊一声：有贼啊！所有的宾客都跑出来抓贼，贼在哪儿？曹操就冲进洞房，把新娘子偷出来，偷出来往外跑，袁绍笨一点，一头钻进一个灌木丛，灌木把衣服都钩住了，跑不脱。袁绍说曹操你快帮忙，我这个地方跑不出来了！曹操又把手往袁绍那一指：大家看，贼在这儿！袁绍一听着急，这么一使劲蹦出来了。所以曹操是一个从小就调皮捣蛋的家伙，也很狡诈，这样的孩子大概是不讨人喜欢的。其实啊依我看，这个男孩小时候也是要捣蛋一点，男孩小时候不捣蛋长大了没出息，可是大家都不喜欢他，史书上的说法是世人“未之奇也”，当时的人也没把他当回事。
What is more outrageous? It was one day that these talented children were bored and said that there was nothing interesting today. At that time, there were really not many interesting things, unlike the Internet now. We are all bored. Is there anything interesting? “Cao Cao said, ‘There’s a funny thing. Someone got married today, let’s go make a scene.'”. Yuan Shao, they said, “What’s the trouble?”? Stealing the bride. Yuan Shao agreed that we would steal the bride. Then a group of people ran to the married family and were about to enter the bridal chamber at night. Everyone was drinking a wedding wine, and Cao Cao shouted, “There are thieves!”! All the guests ran out to catch the thief. Where is the thief? Cao Cao rushed into the bridal chamber and stole the bride out. He stole it and ran outside. Yuan Shao was a bit clumsy and dived into a bush, which caught his clothes and couldn’t take them off. Yuan Shao said, “Cao Cao, help me quickly, I can’t get out of this place!”! Cao Cao pointed his hand at Yuan Shao and said, “Look, here is the thief!”! Yuan Shao was so worried that he jumped out with all his might. Therefore, Cao Cao is a mischievous and cunning guy who has been making trouble since childhood. Such a child may not be likable. In fact, in my opinion, this boy also wanted to make trouble when he was young. When he was young, he didn’t make any difference when he grew up without making trouble, but everyone didn’t like him. According to historical records, people in the world were “Weizhiqi”, and people at that time didn’t take him seriously.
＊通过易中天先生的讲述我们可以看到，小时候的曹操鬼点子多，调皮捣蛋，不讨人喜欢，也不被人重视。但曹操在青年时期却受到当时最高军事长官的另眼相看，而且还得到另一个著名人物的高度评价，这个评价竟然流传千古。那么，这个著名人物是谁？他到底是怎样评价曹操的呢？
Through Mr. Yi Zhongtian’s narration, we can see that when we were young, Cao Cao had many devilish ideas, mischievous and mischievous, which were not liked or valued by others. However, in his youth, Cao Cao was highly regarded by the highest military officer at that time, and was highly praised by another famous figure. This evaluation has even spread throughout the ages. So, who is this famous figure? How on earth did he evaluate Cao Cao?
但是有一个人非常看重曹操，这个人就是当时的太尉桥玄，太尉是什么官？三军总司令，全国最高军事长官，桥玄非常看重曹操，说曹操这个人是个难得的人才。所以桥玄找到曹操说，我们现在遇到的将是一个乱世，这个乱世非“命世之才”不可，我看你就是将来平定天下的人，我桥某已经老了，我把我的妻子和我的子孙就托付给你了。那时候曹操才二十岁啊，那么桥玄为什么这样看重曹操呢？就是因为曹操虽然调皮捣蛋，不守规矩，胡作非为，但他不是一般意义上的纨绔子弟。第一，他才艺过人，文章写得好，文笔非常之好，自己就是文学家；第二，武功好，据说曹操有一次行刺张让的时候被人发现，他是用手武着戟，一边武戟一边往后退，全身而退。武艺好，而且好读书。这点非常重要，好读书，尤好兵书，跟据史书上的记载，曹操终其一生都是爱读书的，即便是行军打仗的时候也手不释卷。那么这样一个文武全才，又很狡猾，那就是乱世当中平定天下的人。
But there was a person who attached great importance to Cao Cao. This person was then Tai Wei Qiao Xuan. What official was Tai Wei? The commander in chief of the three armies and the highest military officer in the country, Qiao Xuan highly valued Cao Cao, saying that he was a rare talent. Therefore, Qiao Xuan came to Cao Cao and said, “We are now facing a troubled world, which is not a” talent of fate “. I think you are the one who will pacify the world in the future. I am already old, and I have entrusted my wife and my descendants to you.”. At that time, Cao Cao was only twenty years old, so why did Qiao Xuan value Cao Cao so much? It is because although Cao Cao is mischievous, unruly, and reckless, he is not a dandy in the ordinary sense. First, he has outstanding talent and skills, writes well, and writes very well. He is a writer himself; Secondly, his martial arts are good. It is said that Cao Cao was once discovered when he assassinated Zhang Rang. He wielded his halberd with his hands, retreating while using it, and retreating all over. Good martial arts skills and good reading skills. This is very important. Good at reading, especially military books. According to historical records, Cao Cao loved reading throughout his life, even when marching and fighting. So such a versatile and cunning person is the one who calms the world in troubled times.
而且桥玄不但自己赏识他，还介绍他去拜见许劭，许劭是什么人呢？许劭是当时有名的鉴赏家。东汉末年有一个风气，就是要进行人物鉴赏，或者叫人物品评，一个人要成为一个人物，要出人头地，要进入上流社会，必须有著名的人物鉴赏家给他写一个鉴定，这样才能得到社会的承认。许劭就是一个有名的鉴赏家，他在，每个月初的初一，要对当时的人物发表一次评论，就像我们现在开新闻发布会一样，每月初一，所以叫月旦评。桥玄就跟曹操说，你曹操要进入上流社会，出人头地，你一定要得到许劭的评语。那么曹操就决定去找许劭，许劭拒绝发表意见，许劭为什么拒绝发表意见呢现在我们不知道，也可能他是看不上曹操，也可能他觉得曹操这个人不好说，也可能有别的什么考虑反正不知道什么原因，许劭是死活都不肯讲。但是我们现在也不知道曹操使了一个什么手段，这个没有任何记载，但是我估计曹操是使用了一点不正当的手段，逼着许劭发表意见，许劭逼得没有办法说了一句有名的话，他说你这个人啊，是“治世之能臣，乱世之奸雄”。
Moreover, Qiao Xuan not only appreciated him personally, but also introduced him to meet Xu Shao. Who is Xu Shao? Xu Shao was a famous connoisseur at that time. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a trend of conducting character appreciation, or character evaluation. To become a character, to rise to prominence, and to enter the upper class society, a famous character connoisseur must write an appraisal for him, in order to gain social recognition. Xu Shao is a famous connoisseur. On the first day of each month, he would make a comment on the characters at that time, just like we currently hold a press conference. On the first day of each month, he is called Yuedan Review. Qiao Xuan told Cao Cao that if Cao Cao wants to enter the upper class and become famous, you must get Xu Shao’s comments. “So Cao Cao decided to go to Xu Shao, who refused to comment. Why did Xu Shao refuse to comment? Now we don’t know. Maybe he doesn’t like Cao Cao, or maybe he thinks Cao Cao is difficult to talk about, or maybe he has other considerations. Anyway, he doesn’t know what the reason is, and Xu Shao won’t even talk about whether he’s alive or dead.”. “But now we don’t know what method Cao Cao used, and there is no record of it. However, I estimate that Cao Cao used some improper means to force Xu Shao to express his opinions. Xu Shao was so forced that he couldn’t say a famous sentence. He said that you are a person who is” a capable minister in governing the world, a traitor in troubled times. “”.
那么曹操听到这句话后的反应是什么，也就是说曹操是否认奸雄可这个评语？正史上的记载是这样的，“太祖大笑”，就是曹操一听许劭说你是“治世之能臣，乱世之奸雄”曹操就哈哈大笑，哈哈哈哈……这句话到了《三国演义》里面做了改动，改成什么呢，“操闻之大喜”。一个是大笑，一个是大喜，一字之差，有天壤之别，表现了什么呢，表现了小说的肤浅，《三国演义》这个小说他是要贬低曹操的，它为了贬低曹操他不惜把大笑改成大喜。“大喜”给人的感觉就是曹操这个人好像从小立志就要当一个奸雄，听说我可以当个奸雄，他高兴得不得了！这不是事实，它也不合逻辑，你说哪有一个人从小立志我就是要当个贼，我从小就下定决心要当个强盗，我从小就立下志向要当窃国大盗，不可能的，奸雄那是逼出来的，奸雄要碰到乱世嘛，碰到乱世他当能臣当不了，他只好去当奸雄了。所以改成大喜是很肤浅的。
So what was Cao Cao’s reaction after hearing this sentence, that is, did Cao Cao recognize the traitor? According to the records in official history, “Taizu Laughs” means that Cao Cao laughed when he heard Xu Shao say that you are “a capable minister in governing the world and a traitor in troubled times.” When Cao Cao heard this sentence in “The Romance of the Three Kingdoms,” he changed it to “Cao was greatly pleased to hear it.”. “One is laughter, and the other is great joy. There is a word difference, and there is a huge difference. What does it represent? It represents the superficiality of the novel.” The Romance of the Three Kingdoms “is a novel that he intended to belittle Cao Cao, and in order to belittle Cao Cao, he did not hesitate to change his laughter into great joy.”. The feeling of “Da Xi” is that Cao Cao seems to have aspired to be a traitor since childhood. He is extremely happy to hear that I can be a traitor! “This is not a fact, nor is it logical. You can say that anyone who aspires to be a thief from an early age has made up his mind to be a robber. I have aspired to be a robber from an early age, and it is impossible for a traitor to be forced out. When a traitor encounters a troubled world, he cannot be a capable minister, so he has to become a traitor.”. So changing to “Da Xi” is very superficial.
