我们去读《三国志》，但凡是形象好的，《三国志》上都有记载，比方说周瑜啊，诸葛亮啊这些人《三国志》上都有记载。而对于曹操的容貌、长相，《三国志》是没有一个字的，《三国志》它是以魏为正统的，如果曹操的形象高大魁梧、英俊潇洒，它肯定大书特书，避而不谈说明形象恐怕不怎么样。那么其他的史书对他的形象有描述，据其他的史书记载曹操叫做容貌短小，就是个子不高，估计也跟我差不多，和那个一米八四的诸葛亮比起来就基本上属于不太合格的产品，残次品一类。另外《世说新语》里面有一个故事，就说曹操当了魏王以后，匈奴派使节来见曹操，曹操自惭形秽，说自己这个矮小的个子不足雄远国，因此请崔琰代替他穿上魏王的服饰，坐在魏王的椅子上接见匈奴的来使，自己拿了一把刀站在旁边。结果接见完了以后，曹操就派人去问匈奴的使节了，你感觉怎么样，匈奴使节说魏王确实十一表人才，不过他旁边那个拿刀的，捉刀的那个人那是英雄。可见一个英雄倒不一定高大英俊，关键是在他的气度。
Let’s read “The Three Kingdoms Annals”, and there are records in “The Three Kingdoms Annals” for anyone with a good image, such as Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. “The Three Kingdoms Annals” does not have a single word for Cao Cao’s appearance and appearance. It is based on the orthodoxy of the Wei Dynasty. If Cao Cao’s image is tall, burly, handsome, and unrestrained, it must be written in great detail. Without mentioning it, it may indicate that the image is not very good. “. Other historical books have described his image. According to other historical books, Cao Cao is called “short in appearance”, but he is not tall. It is estimated that he is about the same as me. Compared to Zhuge Liang, who is one meter tall, he basically belongs to the category of substandard products and defective products. In addition, there is a story in “Shi Shuo Xin Yu”. It is said that after Cao Cao became the King of Wei, the Xiongnu sent an envoy to meet him. Cao Cao felt ashamed and said that he was not tall enough for the Xiongyuan Kingdom. Therefore, Cui Yan was asked to replace him in the clothes of the King of Wei, sit on the chair of the King of Wei, meet the envoy of the Xiongnu, and stand beside him with a knife. “After the interview, Cao Cao sent someone to ask the envoy of the Xiongnu. How do you feel? The envoy of the Xiongnu said that the King of Wei was indeed a talented person, but the one with the sword next to him and the one who caught it was a hero.”. It can be seen that a hero is not necessarily tall and handsome, but the key is his bearing.
问题是曹操这个人这个时候还谈不上气度，所以他必须有一件惊天动地的事情才能扬名立万，棒杀蹇硕的叔叔就是一个扬名立万的好机会。这是第一种猜测。
The problem is that Cao Cao is not a man of bearing at this time, so he must have something earthshaking to become famous and become famous. Killing Jian Shuo’s uncle with a stick is a good opportunity to become famous and become famous. This is the first guess.
那么第二种猜测，就是曹操要严明法纪。曹操这个人是主张法治的，他执法非常之严，令行禁止，不容含糊，这个性格可能在他年轻的时候就表现出来了。曹操这个重法治有两个原因，一个是形势所迫，一个是性格使然。所谓形势所迫，因为当时是一个乱世，乱世用重典，乱世就得严，这是形势所迫。另外曹操这个人哪，他也是很严肃的。曹操生活上确实很随便，吃不讲究，穿不讲究，长期在外行军打仗对于女人估计也不能讲究只能将就。但是他的这种性格并不意味着他轻浮，很多人认为曹操是个轻浮的人这是看错人了，曹操确实是说笑话、听音乐、穿便服、作诗词，那是他紧张工作之余的一种放松，也是他内心世界丰富的表现，说不定还是他迷惑敌人的烟雾弹，你要把曹操当做轻浮的人那你就错了。曹操其实是很深沉的人，曹操身上也是有杀气的，这种杀气就在这一棒就体现出来了。
The second guess is that Cao Cao should be strict in law and discipline. Cao Cao is a person who advocates the rule of law. His law enforcement is very strict, and his orders and prohibitions are unambiguous. This character may have been manifested in his youth. There are two reasons for Cao Cao’s emphasis on the rule of law, one is forced by the situation, and the other is due to his personality. The so-called situation compels, because it was a troubled time, and in a troubled time, severe codes were used, and in a troubled time, strict rules were imposed. This is what the situation compels. Besides, Cao Cao is a serious person. Cao Cao is indeed very casual in his life. He does not pay attention to food or clothing. He may not be particular about women who have been marching and fighting outside for a long time, but he can only make do with it. However, his character does not mean that he is frivolous. Many people believe that Cao Cao is a frivolous person, which is wrong. Cao Cao is indeed a person who tells jokes, listens to music, wears casual clothes, and writes poetry. It is a relaxation after his intense work, and it is also a manifestation of his rich inner world. Perhaps it is still his smoke bomb that confuses the enemy. If you treat Cao Cao as a frivolous person, you are wrong. Cao Cao is actually a very deep person, and there is also a murderous spirit in him. This murderous spirit is reflected in this stick.
当然还有一种可能，那就是碰巧，这个时候的曹操因为刚刚出道，二十岁还不太懂得官场，是个生瓜蛋子。以为他当了一个副县级的公安局长就怎么了不起了，他放出话来谁敢违令格杀勿论，结果蹇图这个大尾巴狼撞上来了，说出去的话泼出去的水，只好硬着头皮把他打死。
Of course, there is also a possibility that by chance, Cao Cao at this time, because he had just made his debut, did not know much about officialdom at the age of 20, and was a raw melon and egg. “I thought it would be nothing if he became a deputy county level police chief. He spoke out and whoever dares to violate the order will be shot to death. As a result, Jiantu, a big tailed wolf, bumped into him. If he spoke out, the water poured out, and he had to be tough and beat to death.”.
