Reply to comment by Anti-theist999 in TIL tomb raiding is a big problem in China that looters sometimes find historically significant sites first. For instance the tomb of the famed 3 Kingdoms-era general, Cao Cao, was discovered in 2008 after police inspected the stolen goods of a bunch of robbers, who then led them to an unknown tomb. by Khysamgathys

I read "The Three Kingdoms."Cao Cao certainly was portrayed as an ass.

I played Romance of the Three Kingdoms on NES and usually played as Cao Cao. I think I did a good job.

Hell I gave Lu Bu a horse to come join my side. That was kind, right?

He was a self serving imperialist who used a lot of Imperial Edicts (think Executive Orders) to get his way. He basically had the emperor hostage and used the throne to serve his own interests.
