Цао Цао цитаты

Ца́о Ца́о — китайский полководец, автор сочинений по военному делу и поэт, главный министр империи Хань. Фактический правитель империи Хань в начале III века, не вполне заслуженно вошедший в историю как её могильщик.

Цао Цао выведен в романе «Троецарствие» как наиболее колоритный злодей своего времени. Для китайцев он является одной из самых ярких и узнаваемых фигур национальной истории. В его распоряжении находились самые многочисленные армии древности — числом до миллиона воинов. После победы при Гуанду он стоял на пороге объединения Китая под своим скипетром, но уступил инициативу Сунь Цюаню и Лю Бэю в результате сокрушительного поражения в битве у Красной Скалы.
