Chen Tingquan clicked on Cao Cao's character panel with a bewildered face, only to find that Liu Bei's enmity value in the "Hated Generals" section had already surpassed Tao Qian's.
Isn't this nonsense!
At that time, Liu Bei was strictly speaking just a mercenary under Tao Qian, and many years later Cao Cao still had a scene discussing heroes over wine with him, which showed that there was no deep hatred at the moment, and Cao Cao had no reason to insist on killing him regardless.
And Tao Qian?
At that time, Cao Cao's father, Cao Song, was hiding from the chaos in Langye, and Cao Cao wanted him to return to Yanzhou, but he was killed halfway. As for who exactly killed him, there are different accounts in historical records, some think it was Tao Qian who sent someone to do it, while others think it was Tao Qian's subordinates who coveted Cao Song's wealth and killed him, with Tao Qian taking the blame.
