In the bedside knife catcher, talk about what kind of person do you think Cao Cao is?

Cao Cao was a man of multiple personalities, he was suspicious, narrow-minded, paranoid, and brutal, making it elusive.

Cao Cao thought that the messenger recognized him, so it would not sound good if the news that he was replaced by others because of his inferiority complex was spread. Kill him. It may be thought that this messenger is very eye-catching, can speak, and is a character, whether it is jealousy or caution, it is a reason to kill him.

Original text: Wei Wu will see the Xiongnu envoy, thinking that he is ugly, not enough to be a distant country, so that Cui Jiqi is on the throne, and the emperor grabs his sword and stands at the head of the bed. When it was over, the spy asked:

What is the King of Wei? The Hun envoy replied: "The king of Wei is very hopeful, but the bedside catcher is a hero."

When Wei Wu heard this, he chased and killed this envoy.

Vernacular interpretation: Cao Cao was about to receive the envoys of the Xiongnu, and he thought that his appearance was ugly and not enough to deter distant countries, so he asked Cui Jiqi to meet him instead, and he himself stood by Cui Jiqi's couch with a knife as an attendant. After the reception, (Cao Cao) ordered the spy to ask the Xiongnu envoy: "How is the King of Wei?"

The Xiongnu envoy commented: "The King of Wei is elegant and noble, and his appearance is graceful, but the person holding the knife on the edge of the couch is a true hero." After Cao Cao heard this, he sent someone to hunt down and kill this envoy.
