In my opinion, Cao Cao is wiser and more capable of leadership than Liu Bei. However, both of them have their own advantages and characteristics. Cao Cao, ambitious, ambitious, fond of singing and dancing, good at hunting, making a wide range of friends, being bohemian and chivalrous; Machiavellian, good at machine change; Great talent, knowing the art of war, and having many strategies; His literary talent is romantic, heroic and generous, and he is magnanimous. In his early years, Xu Shao, a character critic, rated him as "a capable minister in managing the world and a treacherous man in troubled times". (The History of the Three Kingdoms is recorded as a traitor in Qingping and a hero in troubled times).

Cao Cao values heroes, cherishes talents and appreciates celebrities ... all these are his advantages, but he is rather cunning and suspicious, killing some famous court officials, which is criticized by future generations. Crying for Guo Jia, mourning for Dian Wei, feeling sorry for Chen Gong, honoring Guan Yu, forgiving and appreciating Chen Lin ... These things can prove that Cao Cao is indeed a male leader of a generation, eager to seek the virtuous and courteous to the virtuous. Most of the poems he wrote reflected the war and sympathized with the suffering life of the people. Moreover, Cao Cao loved reading very much, never put down his books, and taught his sons well, which made all his sons handsome and skillful. I admire Cao Cao very much.

Liu Bei, who is generous and kind-hearted, dislikes reading since he was a child, likes music, singing and dancing, and can't show his emotions, so he likes to travel and make friends. Liu Bei, a man whose political talent and military strategy are not as good as Cao Cao's, even failed to educate his children. However, Liu Bei can be a man, be tactful, and not be a sinner. He speaks and does things in all directions. He knows how to use "After Emperor Xiaojing's great-grandson and zhongshan jing wang" to gain momentum. He is both righteous and fluent, and he was named an uncle by Emperor Han Xian, which is even more icing on the cake. He will pretend to cry and be sad. He is really good at gathering people's hearts.

Cao Cao is superior to Liu Bei in knowing people, but not as smooth as Liu Bei in being a man. Cao Cao, in addition to a well-off family and many brothers of the same family, used the imperial edict to recruit soldiers, which not only made him crusade against Dong Zhuo, but also strengthened his own strength. In addition, he loved talents and was honest and clean as an official in his early years. Therefore, he recruited many wise men and brave warriors in the world and used them for him. This move, compared with Liu Bei's "climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix", can also be considered equally divided and generous.
