Today's "Art of War" by Sun Tzu was completely re-organized and edited by Cao Cao, who retained the principles that endured the test of time, but got rid of parts of it that had become obsolete by his time.
I've never heard this before. Very interesting if true. Can you link a source?
@@codybonds The scholarly source is in Chinese...Cao Cao edited the Art of War and also wrote a commentary on it. You can get a summary on wikipedia Sun Tzu Art of War....
If you have read Sun Bin's (His descendent) Art of War, you'll see that it had many tactical advice relevant to the Warring States period, how to deploy archers and infantry etc...but Sun Tzu's Art of War, breaking with traditions of the time, was uniquely devoid of tactical advice, thus making it relevant even today...Chinese scholars believe it's because Cao Cao had edited it several hundred years later, and edited out obsolete tactical advice (such as pertaining to the use chariots, of set battle formations and so on), so leaving behind only the broad principles of strategy.
The Art of War as we know it today are 13 Chapters long but there are 5 more chapters attributed to Sun Tzu that were only discovered in 1970s in a Han Dynasty Tomb...So it seems today's Sun Tzu Art of War isn't the original version.
That is really interesting! Thank you for the insight. The more I learn about Cao Cao the more amazed I am that I've never heard of him previously. Hopefully this game helps to expose western audiences to this period.
@@codybonds It's like Nobunaga, Hideyoshi and Tokugawa, whom I had not heard about until I played Nobunaga's Ambition 30 years ago😁.
@@codybonds there are versions of the book that have a few noteworthy insightful commentaries along with the original prose from Sun Tzu. Cao Cao's commentaries are some of those noteworthy and insightful commentaries.
You forgot to mentioned the grainery officer actually agreed to let Cao Cao cut off his head in exchange of Cao Cao raise his family. (I know. It was a different time). In which Cao Cao kept to his word. Even the Romance of 3 kingdoms who portraited Cao Cao as the villain admitted this fact.
I actually didn't know that part. Every version had him asking for his head but I didnt know the man agreed. It's always presented as if Cao Cao was taunting him.your version actuay makes a lot more sense.
No he didn't agree, but he had no choice.
From the original Romance of 3 kingdoms:操乃密召王垕入曰：“吾欲问汝借一物，以压众心，汝必勿吝。”垕曰：“丞相欲用何物？”操曰：“欲借汝头以示众耳。”垕大惊曰：“某实无罪！”操曰：“吾亦知汝无罪，但不杀汝，军必变矣。汝死后，汝妻子吾自养之，汝勿虑也。”垕再欲言时，操早呼刀斧手推出门外，一刀斩讫，悬头高竿，出榜晓示曰：“王垕故行小斛，盗窃官粮，谨按军法。” so, he had not agreed to be cut off.
Gang Wan
Seriously?
His tomb was found in 2009, 12km west of his old capital, you can still visit it
And they just opened it as a museum! Apparently the top of the tomb was hidden from view just like Cao Cao asked and that's how it survived.
David Zoo still debatable
No, a large group of historians and archeologists came out and said that it is almost certainly not Cao Cao. At the very least because it refers to be man buried there as "King of Wei," a title that did not exist when Cao Cao died and he purposely refused any title above "Prince."
He couldn't have built his own tomb. It's equally possible his son might have given him the title retroactively to honor him.
@@codybonds this is what most historians agree cause their are surviving records of his descendents making auch decrees.
How to describe Cao Cao?
Combine the...
Ruthless and cunning political statesmanship of Otto Von Bismarck,
With the military and tactical genius of Napoleon Bonaparte
And the pragmatic, and astute political survivability of Deng Xiaoping
and you may get something close to him.
Reminds me of Julius Caesar or Oliver Cromwell
None of them were sadist, but did cruel things
Pragmatic to a fault
@@christiandauz3742 you are right
Machiavelli's The Prince personified.
@@artofthepossible7329 The proper analogy would be not Machiavelli, but Han Fei, often called "China's Machiavelli". Deng Xiaoping was very fond of him, as is Xi Jinping.
@@thecandlemaker1329 So still Machiavelli then.
None of the leader of Wei, Wu and Shu would of been considered good men in today's standards, but the Legacy of the Han, which was the longest lasting peaceful age in China gives Shu that "what if" question.
Well put.
Han dynasty had been a corrupt nightmare for decades when it finally came crashing down. Cao Pi did a mercy killing.
Liu Bang
The name of Cao Cao‘s horse is actually “Jue Ying” or “Shadowless”，which means even sunlight couldn't chasing up the horse （of course it‘s an exaggeration）.
Still a cool name. Even if it is exaggerated.
Well not so shadowless after it got killed alongside his son
Jue Ying literal translation would be "the chasing shadow".
There's always another meaning, these guys used to like poems.
I never liked how he was treated like a villain
He was more like an anti-hero
The end justify the means (kind of)
Well technically more anti-villain as anti-hero means someone forced into role of the hero, same with anti-villain, his circumstances forced him to be villain for the wellness of his people
He was not a villain or a hero. He was certainly what was needed most at the time though.
the historical Tywin
With Cao Ren as his Kevan Lannister as well.
then i guess Xu Chu is Gregor Clegane
His quote is: "I would rather betray the world, than see the world betray me."
It could also be translated as "I would rather destroy the world than let the world destroy me" i kind of prefer that translation
A fictional quote. Not historically true.
It annoys me every time I see one of your videos. I keep thinking it's official from CA :P
Keep up the brilliant work!
Wait, this wasn't CA's? I feel betrayed.
For some reason they don't release information videos like these so I pick up the slack.
Oh shit this wasn't official? Damn I thought it was
If it helps, CA has previously reposted my work so I'm at least officially endorsed.
WTF?! I Thought the same thing...
CA should host/share your videos, a lot of effort and love are clearly put into these. Keep up the good work.
Where I put my love is none... Oh wait that was a compliment. Thank you! I retweeted it at them so we'll see what happens.
O what I thought it was a CA vid haha
Cao Cao, if i was a warrior back then, i would join him with my eyes closed.
Idk man, I'd be a little worried about ending up like the granary officer if and when his strategy requires someone to take one for the team lol
@@ilyaakadishtungha7337 maybe he will borrow something from you,and promise to give your family a good life lol
@@ilyaakadishtungha7337 that’s a fictional story. Didn’t happen at all.
Just remember Cao Cao..... do not pursue Lu Bu
I'm still learning my Three Kingdoms. I'm up to the start of the Battle of Red Cliffs. Im guessing it doesn't go well?
Cody Bonds Dynasty warriors meme. But in all seriousness, Lu Bu was a problem CaoCao had to overcome many times over his life
Working on these had made me want to got back to Dynasty Warriors. What's the best recent one?
Cody Bonds Eight, edition whatever. Don't go 9 though, for the love of god don't do it
The open world one? What went wrong with it?
Liu Bei's Shu Han kingdom was only formed after he enlisted the legendary strategist Zhuge Liang who envisioned him to form a Western based kingdom and ally with Wu kingdom (Sun Quan) to fight Wei kingdom (Cao Cao). Before that, Liu Bei was basically on the run everytime from Cao Cao and was serving multiple independent lords. Only with the brilliance of Zhuge Liang did he finally manage to outsmart Cao Cao's forces time and time again. And with the strategies, tactics and valour of all serving under Liu Bei and Sun Quan did they manage to destroy Cao Cao's huge naval invasion force at the Red Cliffs which was one of the major turning points in the history of the three kingdoms. After that battle, Liu Bei went on to take the southern provinces of Jingzhou and finally took the Western provinces to form Shu Han and thereby fulfilling the Three Kingdoms. How the Three Kingdoms eventually fell is another long entry in the historical texts and romanticised novel.
Two historical events that demonstrated Cao Cao's cruelty was no fabrication. First was the civilian massacre of Xu province. His father was murdered by an ex-bandit subordinate of the warlord of Xu province, so he attacked Xu province in revenge. He killed all the civilians in the villages and cities he conquered, to "avenge" his father. While some argue he really did it to intimidate the opposing warlord into submission, or to scare the people of Xu province into turning on their own warlord whom Cao Cao's aggression was primarily aimed towards, it was an act of extreme cruelty none the less.
Second was executing the PoWs after battle of Guandu. Cao Cao's forces were already short on supplies during the battle. He managed to attacked Yuan Shao's supply depot at Wuchao and burned it to the ground, which led to the rapid defeat of Yuan Shao's much larger force. 70,000 of Yuan Shao's troops surrendered or were captured as the result, a number that more or less matched Cao Cao's own forces. But since Cao Cao had barely the food to feed his own troops let alone these PoWs, so he had them all executed. There is reason behind his actions other than cruelty, but to slaughter 70,000 of his countrymen instead of freeing them just because they once fought for his childhood friend and now enemy, shows that he has a heart as cold as stone.
The first I knew but the second I didn't. I feel it wasn't just revenge. Most likely those soldiers were honor bound to fight against him, and if released stood a strong chance of returning to the enemy army. Most sources I have read talk about soldiers and civilians as expendable on the eyes of the generals of the day.
All fairs in love an war
he might have a cold heart but in war, that might be what you need, if he had let those 70k men go, then they would have mostly rejoined yuan shao, since thats where the food is and he cant afford to keep them as you said. and cao cao did end up beating yuan shao so he strategies clearly worked.
Oaths were very serious business during those times it's a given that those soldiers would rejoin Yuan Shao if cao cao spared thwm, as for the other thing I don't buy that it was just mindless revenge, cao cao was probably the most rational general in the three kingdoms I won't be surprised if he simply used the death of his father as an excuse to attack Xu and achieve an ulterior motive
That was (singing voice) COLD BLOODED!
A product of the time, neither hero or villain but a just General, who probably wakes up at night with the nightmares of killing his friend and the family by mistake.
No kidding. PTSD isn't a new thing and I can only imagine what that would do to you.
Agree ...
it just unfortunate that he wake up just when they are preparing to slaughter the pig hence the mistake
Cody Bonds lol ptsd nowadays is because men or more weak nowadays because they dont kill with swords but fromm distsnce like cowards. And soldiers from usa get it because they are terrorists. Terrorizing and invading countries
PTSD has always been an issue in war. If you can, read the books 'The Face of Battle' by Keegan or 'On Killing' by Grossman for an eye opening look at the historical psychological impacts of war.
Great intro to a truly controversial person in Chinese history! And don't worry, your pronunciation is pretty good (minus the tones of course, but you don't need those when speaking in an English context).
I assume I sound like a dog with marshmallows in it's mouth. And the tonality of Mandarin is so wildly different from English, it's very cool.
Definitely hero. Liu bei sought to restore a crumbling legacy, while the kingdom of wu typically was reactive. Cao cao sought to build something new and was consistently proactive. Heroes come in many shapes. This one defied our conventions.
2:43 one of histories biggest Oofs.
You can feel the gut punch.
Keep desperatly trying to remember my dynasty warriors and redcliffs everytime i look at Three Kingdoms. I more or less know the vauge flow of western and middle-eastern history from prehistory till modern but China shyyt...literally is just trying to think back to the early 2000s playstation hahah. Cant wait to be educated
Josh Shacklock
But people say history is boring, and video game is useless ... What about both?
Thats just stupid people, best to ignore them ;) History is essential to understanding the present and videogames are a cultural medium like any other.
I agree with Shacklock. Whoever said that to you should be ignored - and any advice given to you by them in the future should also.
Man, as a person who loved the Three Kingdoms growing up in Asia, this guys videos nails it. its so good. also I'm Cao Caos fan since the beginning
CA asked several UA-camrs who they wanted to play first if there's a preview event. I went with Cao Cao.
@@codybonds my man! Hope you do more history stuff!
I intend to. I wrote a series for Kings and Generals that should come up sometime soon. I plan to do an accompanying video for it here on the Battle of Stirling Bridge.
Servent: WTF bro we just wanted to kill a pig!
Cao cao: Shame
Very good content/editing/narration, I almost thought this was an official vid from CA
I tend to give it away in the end when I ask people to subscribe. But hopefully you enjoyed it anyway!
Caocao is like the Chinese version of Julius Caesar. Despite the poor portrait of him in the Romance of Three Kingdoms, he actually had never betrayed his Emperor of the Han dynasty during his life time. He had already enough power to make himself emperor long before the battle of Redcliff, but he still kept Han Emperor in his rightful place. It's actually Liu Bei who claimed to re-establish power of the house of Liu decleared himself emperor while the real Han Emperor is still alive on the throne.
Cao Cao the "Littlefinger".
Finally! You Finally got it right. absoulutely amazing, well done.
I think he is anti hero.
indeed
what made him more interesting, he's also an excellent poet, along with his sons Cao Pi and Cao Zhi. His poems still survives to this day, and it's available to read in wikipedia
Your professionalism and production values shine yet again much better then anything CA cobbles together
I dunno. They're CG trailers look really cool. But thank you for the vote of confidence!
Cao Cao is neither Hero nor Villain, but ultimate fucking badass.
Cao Cao had the best chance of ending the mass turmoil swiftly, since the Han became weak. So the likes of the "good guys" (Liu Bei) were actually prolonging the misery plaguing China, just to bitterly cling to the little power their royal names gave them.
one of the merit of liu bei is that he attract many talented people to him. without them liu bei probably just like another naive guy
Even Cao Cao recognized the awesome guys working with Liu Bei and asked why he didn't have men like that surrounding him.
Liu Bei did claim that his is a descendant of the Han dynasty emperor. But never have any proof of it. It was the current emperor call him uncle in front of Cao Cao. The emperor want to use Liu Bei to counter Cao Cao.
you are true my friend. it proves that he's jsut for the authority. liubei in my view he lacks wisdom.
if u want to see a person better than cao cao with companions better than liu bei u got it hereua-cam.com/video/LdqFW8RWfQk/v-deo.html a real history of our world that did happen
The politics of this period were so intense. The complicated relationships will be a real challenge to manage.
You can either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain
HERO! Damn literature for vilifying him
I look forward to the Shu-Han, i can't wait to see Guan Yu! He is my most favourite Character at that Time of the Waring states.
Right! If you haven't seen John Woo's "Red Cliffs" he is presented as an absolute badass in that.
The death of a few for the lives of many.
The music in the background reminds me so much of the britania campaign from medeival 2 total war where I would just wait and listen to the music.
Love this video. Just getting better!
General Cao Cao's chicken
Awesome video man. Just like the Sun Juan vid, I enjoyed this one just as much. Keep em coming!!
How did I miss this!? Great work as always Cody.
Thanks. I'm working on the follow-up now with his two lieutenants that have been announced.
Fire Attack was very popular in the 3 kingdoms. Especially in the 3 main battles.
liu bei the ambitious crook who pretended to be a member of the imperial clan. cao cao the man who dedicated his life to Han and the unification of China.
Had the Jin Dynasty were more prosperous, I bet the Romance of the Three Kingdom would paint Cao Cao as the more righteous one.
there is no proof that Liu Bei wasnt the member of the imperial clan. In the Records, no one had doubted his identity of imperial clan member. Therefore it can be believed that he is a member of imperial clan.
Cao Cao did lots of thing which disrespect and disloyal to Han. It is absurd to say that " dedicated his life to Han"
You people do realize this is 200 ad, any asshole could claim to be a member of the imperial clan through some obscure familial tie. It’s not like they had dna testing. This happened all throughout history, some guy shows up from out of the woods literally and claims to be a kings long lost son
vietimports You do realize when 200AD your ancestors are probably barbarians and don't have history record. China isn't like that. The line of royal blood is precisely recorded in China during its dynasty. Cao Cao might not be a villan but sure as hell was not “dedicated to Han dynasty” （In his early days maybe, but after that nope）
Actually, it is not Liu Bei who claim himself as a member of the imperial clan, at least not in the record. In the records of the three kingdoms, Liu Bei himself never claimed himself as a member of the imperial clan. It is Chen Shao, the writer who said that Liu Bei' ancestor is Liu Sheng
the stunt with the rations he stole from machiavellis book the count
It needs to be said that many thinkers at the time who actually cared about the people's plight more than they did about Confucius and his teachings supported Cao Cao. Great example: Zhang Zhao, tutor and chief adviser to Sun Quan. Before the Battle of Red Cliffs, he strongly urged his master to reconsider and surrender to Cao Cao, until Sun Quan slashed his table apart in rage and told that whoever tells him to surrender would be next. Zhang Zhao had no love for Cao Cao. He saw him as the most natural candidate for unifying China and putting a stop to the bloody warfare that turned the lives of the people into hell. Indeed, Wei/Jin did inevitably unite China, but how many lives were sacrificed until this was achieved? Zhang Zhao saw that, but Sun Quan was too prideful.
Cao Cao (Cao Meng De) was the greatest hero which the mainstream historians had said he was a evil cunning warlord. I say he was the hero. All his lands he ruled, there was no famine and no drought. No civilians died from hunger and also no bandits terrorise his lands. He gave his people public law and order, with one objective in his mind, to stop all wars with the warlords and bring total peace to the Middle Kingdom.
Really depend on which book you read first. Records of the Three Kingdoms or Romance of Three Kingdoms.
That first word is really important on which version of Cao Cao you'll get.
Holy crap, this is not an official video. Had me fooled right till the very end mate, bravo!
I figure if I'm gonna make these they might as well be the best I can do. Drop back in again some time if you enjoyed it.
I'm so glad you used the three Kingdoms TV series for visual aid. That series was so good considering the budget issues they had and i'd highly recommend it.
Every time I've pulled a clip from the show I've been impressed with what they managed.
“I would rather betray others than others betray me.”“寧教我負天下人 休教天下人負我”
It can be two meanings.First one it's like if someone need to betray others,for living it will be me.And the second is pretty different,it's like if someone need to be the bad guy be spurned by everyone,than let me be that guy. So it's pretty hard to tell is Cao Cao(曹操) a bad guy or good guy. He may have the charismatic leadership to become a new emperor,but probably not a hero.
Thank you for a more precise translation on that. Other sources online had it as "betray the world" and I suspected they were reaching there.
Cody Bonds Yeah,it's more correct than "betray others"."Betray the world" actually we don't use the word "world",we say "天下" it's translate the word is "under the sky" ,It's sound more ambitious than "world" in Mandarin. But "天下" we actually mean all part of china's territory or like the place china can reach. Hold china again we will say take over “天下”,so "others(天下人)"can be translate to "all people under the sky or all population of china".
THe grannery story, is the same that cicero borgia used, he had a brutal administrator run a city for a few months, then came in as the rescuer and had the administrator which he had placed there knowing what he would do, executed.
Smart man
I DIDN'T KNOW THE CAO CAO IS WEARING spectacleS. tHANKS FOR THE LATEST UPDATE.
Don’t forget about his son Cow Pee
FINALLY someone who did a pretty great job at pronouncing Cao Cao's name. I mean even though OverSimplified and Extra Credits made amazing educational videos on the Three Kingdoms period, their mispronunciation of his name as "kao kao" or "tao tao" bugged me a lot.
Didn't he secretly buried because when he was alive, he specifically created a military unit for tomb raiding to supply the resource. Thus, he worried others might do the same to him, or even destroy his corpse
I am chinese and I am always thinking why they pronounce cao cao like sao sao or tao tao? wtf?
For English speakers the complexity of that first letter is a real doozie. We don't have anything equivalent so it confuses us. That and we've heard it said the other ways.
Yeesh that's just not trying.
llamacanoe at least it’s not “cow pie”
llamacanoe "tao-fee"
For a while I was calling him "Cow Cow" or even "Cacao," like the bean.
My very first subscribed on a games related channel. You are good and I am especially impressed that you take the effort to do the research on facts (as in facts either based on records or romance version). Also like the way you present your video. Looking forward to more videos from you.
Ps. As I stumbled upon your vid while looking for TWTK stuff, I am not sure what type of games you usually post/play on your channel. Appreciate if you can intro me a bit.
I normally try and keep the channel about either history or historical based games. But for now most of my game related videos are Total War. I'm hoping to cover the new Assassin's Creed and Red Dead in the fall. And just picked up Kingdom Come to do a playthrough on.
Cao "I would rather betray the world than the world betray me" Cao
Thank you for the work, great video
Thank you for watching it! It's great to see people enjoy my work.
GJ. Actually Cao(/) cao (-). Love your background mix with you.
Thanks! And I tried on the tonality but I tend to mumble like a dog with marshmallows in its mouth.
Good to see you back. Take it you quit playing TOB also. Such a shame that game didn't hold up in my opinion.
I played through on legendary as Wessex to Ultimate Victory. The game is at it's best doing the short Victory conditions after that it just felt like a slog with no big battles. I want to play it again but due to free time constraints I basically have to choose between games and making these videos.
You've inspired me. I'm gonna do a video about Thrones' death. What do you think the problem with it is?
I was really hoping you would say that. I think you have it on the head. Their is just no replayability or anything that keeps you going. I can't get attached to the characters as the progression is flat with no traits and perks like Warhammer. It need quest battles and more narrative. As well as the building progression being totally flawed. As it was literally a colour matching process. I was soo hyped for it. It really let me down. Going to try not to.preorder from now on. It's great that you are impartial and can not only make videos like this pretty much sellinga gae to me through engagement in the history or mechanics etc. But it's also criticise the total war franchise in a constructive manner. As with legend of total war now being less active in total war and Darren totalwar from republic of play not being as out spoken about it we need someone like you with a passion for the games and the style and the history who wants to give this constructive feedback ans this help drive the games on positively through engagement with the fans etc. I've went on a little. But cheers again and keep making your videos the way you do. I totally understand the time problem. When I get a chance it's just the Warhammer for me of ever. I miss the historical part but because the narrative and engagement in characters is so high I feel you make your own history and can role play really well!
This was lacking in TOB. I enjoyed it also most acchieveing a short victory!
Cheers
Do you have a discord ? You could have one where you could gather your fans and chat could take place on ideas, suggestions , history etc?
I do not. You're the first to ever ask.
Wonderful recap
Hard to say.
He was product of his times.
We can't pass judgement on him period.
That's a pretty good pronunciation of Cao Cao! Although the pronunciation of names for the provinces can be improved.
I had to guess on those. The pronunciation list I was given only covered the major actors. Which were screwy and how can I improve them?
This Cao Cao is ruthless but effective.
You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain - Pretty much Cao Cao trying to unify the country.
That's what I said! I also forgot that was from Batman and not a more ancient source.
Can't wait after shogun 2 , I wait this for years .
Cao Cao is my favorite character/Chinese leader
Playing Romance of the Three Kingdoms part 1 (KOEI) as a teen, I pronounced his name K-O K-O .... the exact sounds of saying the two letters.
Awesomeness, can't wait to see ur next video
I'm working on a 3 Parter on Alfred the Great and a Real History origins of the Warhammer Races.
Tsao Tsao is how you pronounce it
every warlord in every period did good and bad things, not only Cao Cao.
Anyone else notice that the Chinese charters on the logo say 3 countries not 3 kingdoms
Or I’m I just reading Chinese wrong
+Spicy Chicken Guó (国/國) refers to a political state/country/nation. Sānguó (三國) is the official translation for the era. The Three Kingdoms were technically never controlled by a king/wáng (王). I don't think they ever called themselves king because that's an old school title. They called themselves dukes or lords and then eventually claimed to be emperors. The translation of kingdom doesn't necessarily refer to a state owned by a king.
I think it's translated to Three Kingdoms because the empire at the time was fractured into three states, and a kingdom is a generally a state smaller than an empire. Plus Three Kingdoms sounds cooler than Three States.
Now now Cao Cao! I miss kessen.
We cant wait One. Year ufff
As for the pronouncing of the Cao Cao name, don’t worry about it. You came pretty close. The 2 words are spelled the same in English, but it is totally pronounced differently in Mandrian. The tonal difference is something non Chinese (Mandarin) speaker will find it hard to understand
I read from another comment that my voice should rise on the first Cao and stay at that higher level for the second Cao. Is that roughly correct?
My Boi Tsao Tsao!
He will ALWAYS be cow cow!
I always liked Cao Cao in the stories because he did what he must to unify the broken and fractured nation of the Han.
He definitely was an ends justify the means kind of guy. Some of his actions were downright barbaric, manipulative and cruel. But his effectiveness is hard to argue against.
I enjoy this series.
Cao Cao was the Tywin Lanister of China
That drama is dope but couldn't finish it without the English subtitles 😢
The pronunciation is wrong, it's more like ciao ciao without the i in it (I sounded like I was just removing the i's, but I mean the pronunciation lol).
Hero of Chaos
What a bastard. I love him.
Cao Cao, the best prime minister of Asia, Far-sight as Korean, Cunning like Thai noblemen, Idealist like Chinese, Merit system like Mongols, Crazy Gambler like Japanese
There is no T in front of Cao, the T is only put there in front of the Z (Tzao) to help with the pronunciation. Think of the T as a silent T, pronounced exactly the same way as the T in thank you (just silently lol).
As for Cao himself, he reminds me of a famous saying in Chinese - 一将功成,万骨枯. Can be transliterated as - for one general to succeed, many bones must pave the way. A ruthless warlord who will trade human lives for his own glory.
PREPARE TO FEEL THE POWER OF MY MAAAAAGGGGGIIIICCCC!!!
You made a very good review! Just subscribe!
Cao Cao is the greatest.
Cao Cao is always a villain
He's ruthless
HE IS A HERO.
where is simayi ???
thx for info ♥
The Three Kingdoms story would not have become this famous if it wasn't for Cao Cao.
My first foray was Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2... had no idea who anyone was, chose Sun Jian and from then on Cao Cao was never to be trusted 😁
I saw a video about this game 3 days ago and they pronounced Cao Cao "sao sao", as a Chinese, that sounds really weird to me...
Thanks for the right pronunciation.
In China , most people like Liu Bei's faction more than other factions, because he's mercy, according to the Three Kingdoms Romanced.
Japanese some how like Cao Cao more. Maybe because he's a powerful leader.
BTW, in modern Chinese "sao sao" mean elder brother's wife...
I know I missed the tonality but I am trying. I fully expect Liu Bei to be the faction most people play in this game, but I was surprised to find there was so much more to Cao Cao.
it can also mean "hot hot" or "horny horny"
I think these slender eyes gonna be a problem.
hes the hero of chaos
Great video, am looking forward to the game :-)
Well certainly now Cow Cow as before.
