Mean Sage: Cao Cao (a book Cao Cao himself would admire since his death in 1791) (Chinese Edition)

This book penetrates into the mean, duplicitous and cruel intrigues Cao Cao dealt with a group of independent warlords as well as the soft, loyal, great feelings he treated the people of the world. Cao Cao is different from other evil or loyal persons in history. His intrigues are tough and harsh for others to suffer, and his mean personality is often over the bottom line of morality. However, he is a sage who cherishes the people, a poet who has much tenderness and great talent, and an ordinary sensitive, self-abased and lonely man.
