The first one is Cao Cao. Anyone who has read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that Cao Cao is a big traitor and has done many bad things. But in history, Cao Cao was a very powerful figure. He is both civil and military, and he can lead troops to fight anything. Cao Cao, in the name of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, made expeditions in all directions, surrendered Xianbei and the southern Xiongnu, and unified the northern part of China. Internally, the separatist forces such as Lu Bu, Ma Chao and Er Yuan were eliminated. At the same time, Cao Cao also broke the rule that officials can only be nobles' children, and provided a rising channel for the children of the poor, so that ordinary people should not be so miserable.
The second is Zhou Yu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was deliberately suppressed by the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because the author wanted to use Zhou Yu to support Shu Han's orthodoxy. In the real history of Battle of Red Cliffs, there is no such person as Zhuge Liang, and Jiang Gan was not deceived into stealing books. Instead, Zhou Yu personally led his troops to shoot down the most famous battle of winning more with less and the most famous battle of fire attack. Zhou Yu is a general with great military talent. Not the hypocritical, sinister and narrow-minded person mentioned in the book.
The third is Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty. There are too many cans on his back. Now when he mentions Li Hongzhang, he will certainly follow these words as traitors and traitors. But if you think about it carefully, you will know that Li Hongzhang, as a diplomatic representative of the Great Qing Dynasty, signed many treaties that humiliated the country. But who asked him to sign it? It is a real traitor to ask him to sign. Western powers called Li Hongzhang "the only person in the Qing Empire who has the ability to compete with the world powers". If Li Hongzhang had not dealt with the powers, he would have been destroyed by the western powers.
