How did Bao Xin become a good friend of Cao Cao? There are many people in Cao Cao, and they are all very capable, but Cao Cao doesn't have a completely trusted person. Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and his brothers all know that Cao Cao will not trust them easily, but there are exceptions. Bao Xin won the trust of Cao Cao, and of course he didn't live up to it. Bao Xin thought Cao Cao was a capable man, so he chose Cao Cao to work for him. Many times when others don't support Cao Cao, only Bao Xin is willing to support him and trust him, which gives Cao Cao great encouragement and they become bosom friends.
Only Bao Xin can truly understand Cao Cao when Bao Xin was a vassal. At that time, he heard about Cao Cao's prestige. At that time, he was still a subordinate of Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao didn't like people who were better than him, so Bao Xin turned to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo, he was very opposed to it. Only Bao Xin understands Cao Cao's heart and supports him in principle. Cao Cao suddenly felt that this man was a rare confidant in the world. Two people know each other, so Baoxin did.
Bao Xin and Cao Cao are bosom friends. Bao Xin appreciates Cao Cao's ability, and Cao Cao also thinks he is an ambitious man. Heroes cherish heroes, and swift horses will eventually find Bole. Bao Xin's life is actually very short. In a war, Bao Xin went out in person, but died in the battlefield. He never came back, and even the bones were not found. When Cao Cao learned about this, he couldn't help crying in his heart and couldn't bear to lose his lifelong confidant. Later, Cao Cao had a woodcarving of Bao Xin carved to replace Bao Xin's burial.
From then on, Cao Cao never found anyone he could trust, and Cao Cao had few confidants all his life. As a good friend of Cao Cao, Bao Xin's friendship of sharing weal and woe on the battlefield should be remembered.
