It's a scholar named Zongcheng. Although his fame is not very great, many people may not have heard of it, but he directly refused to make friends with Cao Cao, so it became a much-told story in the Central Plains.

Then why does this scholar zong not want to make friends with Cao Cao? This has a lot to do with Cao Cao's family background. Because Cao Cao's family was poor, he was born in a eunuch family. At that time, people had a bad impression on eunuchs and called them "eunuchs".

Moreover, although Cao Cao was a strategist of three generations, his reputation at that time was really not very good. The so-called sworn, sworn, because Cao Cao's family background is nothing in the eyes of scholar Zongcheng, so Zongcheng also admitted that his three views are inconsistent with Cao Cao and there is no need to make friends.

Cao Cao had made some achievements at that time, so he visited Zongcheng many times. Although Zong Cheng was only a scholar, he was very influential in the moral circle at that time. If you can make friends with Zong, it will be of great help to Cao Cao's reputation.

However, Zong Cheng didn't like what Cao Cao did, and because of his background, he had never seen Cao Cao. Cao Cao also encountered many obstacles when he visited Zongcheng.

But Cao Cao didn't lose heart. There is a saying that what you can't get is always the best. Cao Cao kept Zong Cheng firmly in mind. When Cao Cao was in his forties and had monopolized the power of life and death, he asked Zongcheng: Am I worth making friends now?

At that time, Cao Cao was very proud, thinking that he had created a world. He originally wanted to see Zongcheng make a fool of himself. Unexpectedly, Zong Cheng is also a man of backbone, and he still doesn't want to make friends with Cao Cao.
