Time is like a rushing river, never to return, washing everything away into the past, once heroic heroes also recede into the past following the flow of history.

Those who understand the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history know that: Cao Cao, the most famous hero in this period, always "borrowed the name of the son of heaven to issue orders to conquer the world". Later generations evaluated Cao Cao as "a hero in times of chaos, a talented subject in times of peace and prosperity".

Although Cao Cao had extremely great ambitions, from beginning to end he never usurped the throne and became emperor. If you had the opportunity to ask Cao Cao: Would you not want to ascend the throne yourself as Emperor? The answer we received was definitely "no"!

Looking at the heroic heroes of the world through dynasties, who wouldn't want to be emperor? Moreover, he was also Cao Cao under one person out of ten thousand! With the situation at that time, there were many opportunities presented before him, but why did Cao Cao not declare himself emperor?

According to analysis by Sohu website (China), the reason Cao Cao did not declare himself emperor was because he was afraid of a person, this person was a strategist who was even more cunning than Sima Yi, Cao Cao did not dare to fight head-on with him. This. Even Zhuge Liang - who had great contributions in helping Liu Bei establish the Shu Han government - sometimes had to yield to this person.

This person was Fa Chinh, the talent that made Cao Cao afraid of the Shu Han government, the person who plotted to kill Xiahou Uyen but at the same time was also the person that even in his dreams Cao Cao wanted to have.

Phap Chinh, self-named Hieu Truc. That year he advised Liu Bei to send troops to Shu and eventually create a great career. Liu Bei was able to gain the land of Xuyen Shu, in addition to Zhuge Liang's effective assistance, Fa Chinh deserved to be listed as one of the most meritorious people.

In 219 AD, the great twin heroes Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought each other in Hanzhong. History books record that: The Battle of Hanzhong was a battle between the Cao and Liu factions, the prestige and scale of this war were both the greatest.

This battle fell into a state of tension very quickly. At a critical moment when both sides were marshaling their troops, struggling and tormenting each other, it was Fa Chinh who came up with a plan for Liu Bei.

At that time, Liu Bei led his army through Duong Binh pass, facing off against Ha Hau Uyen's army. Liu Bei acted first, using the tactic of ambush attacks against the Cao army led by Truong Cap at night, this force had up to 100,000 soldiers. Although the number was very large, Truong Cap was a top talented warrior, so Liu Bei's plan to attack at night this time was not successful.

At the same time, the enemy's commander, Ha Hau Uyen, divided his army and brought more than half of his troops to rush to support Truong Cap, and also used that opportunity to increase the defense thickness in the east.

Faced with this situation, Phap Chinh quickly changed strategy. Furthermore, he also proposed: Our army is riding under the ravine, so we should use the method of setting fire to surround Ha Hau Uyen.

At the same time, it is possible to take advantage of the time when Ha Hau Uyen has to also hold the position of captain to put out the fire, and send old General Hoang Trung, a man of great age, to attack with all his might to capture Ha Hau Uyen, thereby achieving his goal. Aim to clear all attack obstacles from the front.

Liu Bei listened and used Phap Chinh's strategy. As expected, everything happened exactly as Phap Chinh expected. Ha Hau Uyen fell for the trick and died under Hoang Trung's knife.

This result directly led to the Cao army retreating. Before retreating, he told the generals: "I did not believe that Liu Bei had such talent. But beside him now there is a talented person (referring to Because of the failure in this battle, Cao Cao became ill for many years and passed away.

Cao Cao once evaluated Fa-rectification like this: "I have the hero of the whole world, only Fa-rectification I cannot have!". With just this statement, we can see Phap Chinh's position in Cao Cao's heart, at least that position was not lower than Quach Gia's position in the heart of the head of the Cao Wei group.

After Liu Bei won Ich Chau, Phap Chinh immediately took charge of the household. Fa Chinh died of illness in 220 AD, which made Liu Bei extremely sad, and he cried for days on end!
