Cao Cao - Warriors Analysis 

This is the last major video I make with this Mic. It sucks.

“I am Cow Pee. Like my father Cow Cow.”

When I first heard of Cao Cao I laughed at his name. Now he's my favorite character of DW.

Cao Cao was the best ruler the Eastern Han Dynasty could have hoped for to bring order, stability and justice to the land locked in endless war and chaos. I know that if I was alive in China back then I would serve him.

The iconic quote from Cao Cao "I rather betray the world than have the world betray me"

A couple misconceptions about Cao Cao is that he was brilliant when it came to infrastructure having constructed waterways and canals in the lands under his reign that helped with the irrigation of crops, had a unique sense of honor (Unlike Liu Bei who hid his desires for the throne behind a veil of benevolence since that was all he had to attract followers and had made plenty of dishonorable and deceitful moves himself) Cao Cao was the warlord who if he was going to lie to you, he would be upfront about it, was well loved by his men for treating many officers as though they were his own extended family, was a highly scholastic individual, and also while he had a great fondness for strategists and powerful officers was actually quite capable in the military arts himself. Also of note is that Cao Pi was actually Cao Cao's SECOND son rather than his first.

Something. About him is attracting me to him he has a lot of good ethics sharp minded has strong leadership etc. such a great character and truly a man who seeks help for people and respects his highness he wanted to build a new and better land but I hate his son shame he didn't follow his fathers footsteps sima clan would've never ruled the three kingdoms if cao pi followed his fathers ideas shame he didn't inherit his father abillities and mind skills

DW's version of Cao is very different from the novel. DW portrays him as way too serious. In the novel, he laughs a lot, gives free reign to his emotions, and appears more human.

I think in DW3 Cao Pi's English dub would just say "Cow-Pee" and 7-year old me couldn't get enough of it. As a fan over a decade later I can say I regret nothing

Cao Cao is my favorite character!

It happened more than enough that people like Cao Cao got miscredited as tyrants by opposing factions whereas they brought peace and stability to the land and ended the corruption. Only the devil points with his finger on others. That is what every man should learn to understand where the true evil lies in this world.

DUDE! These videos are awesome! It's cool to learn more about my favorite characters' significance in actual history.

Cao Cao was always one of my favourite characters, and for the Wu/Shu sides was an even better villain.

I want Cao Cao...and Oda Nobunaga to team up....

My ambition cannot be stopped.

lol Cow Cow. best intro ever

Cao Cao is so respect. I believe the questionable things he may have done, were in an attempt to stabilize a part of the world where far worse atrocities were taking place as a result of the chaos.

Cao Cao, supreme commander of Wei.

Yo it was a pleasure voicing that lovable old bastard Zuo Ci! Loved experimenting with an older voice hahah!

A question and a correction. When you said "Imagine what would've happened if Cao Cao had recruited Lu Bu", do you mean the great things he could've done? Because Cao Cao executed Lu Bu because he was too unpredictable and untrustable. Also, Cao Pi isn't Cao Cao's eldest son. His eldest son is Cao Ang, who died in Wan Castle during the escape.

Let me explain the meaning of the quote at 3:26. King Wen of Zhou was a lord that served the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty (1100 B.C.). It is said that he had control of 2/3 of the lands in China, but he did not attempt to usurp the emperor. Therefore, Cao Cao meant to say that although he had in fact grasped the absolute power, he would not usurp the Han emperor. HOWEVER, King Wen's son King Wu proceeded to usurp the throne, so some people argue that what Cao Cao really meant was to leave the task of establishing a new dynasty to his son. There are many reasons why Cao Cao did not attempt to overthrow the emperor. I can elaborate if anyone is interested.

Cao Pi was his second son, Cao Ang was his first son who died during the battle with a certain warlord way before the battle of Chibi

the voice volume is lower than normal.....

Interesting little video you got here. Glad I could provide the voicework for you, and if you ever need more narrations, shoot me a message or e-mail.

What if Lu Bu joined Cao Cao's side, is good topic worth to argue. Historically he thought surrendering many times but Chen Gong stopped him. In some way Chen Gong dragged Lu Bu to death (sadly a skilled general Gao Shun too). But what if Lu Bu joined Cao Cao after Xiapi. I imagined two route possible. First route is he remained loyal like Zhang Liao. He wasn't good terms with Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Fighting against them under Cao Cao's command benefits him as well. Depends on his actions he could be a legendary commander like Zhang Liao or considering his earlier poor command skill he could be overshadowed by his former underlings Zhang Liao and Gao Shun. For second route, when he got an opportunity he betray Cao Cao but that route is a tricky one. AfterDong Zhou incident I think Cao Cao never fully trusts Lu Bu. For starting an uprising in Cao Cao's force not really works as well. Unlike Liu Bei that time just had two loyal officer (and both of them are poor commanders), Cao Cao had many loyal commanders. All of his high ranking generals are his relatives (Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong) and he treat his other commanders (Guo Jia, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Xu Zhu) well, they didn't turn their back for Lu Bu. Lu Bu can't find any support from Cao Cao's force even worst case senario Zhang Liao and Gao Shun could be turn against him too. The only possibilty could be, he works with anti-Cao Cao group in Han goverment. He could participate their Cao Cao assasination plot (if we consider he accept work with Liu Bei the another plotter). But historicaly Cao Cao cought conspirators. Somehow he escapes he doesn't had same credit as Liu Bei, probably nobody accept him. This route, he doesn't stand much longer.

Souten Kouro showed that Cao Cao channeled Zhang Jiao's ghost in order to record the Yellow Turban remnants.

8:22 Yeah its not like he lost his two eldest children or anything Can always make more kids amirite

I really like your voice!

Could you do an analysis of Sima Yi?

Ah yes, the OG Nobunaga

I understand why you did the Drake and Josh theme as the ending to your video with Josh, but I think it would fit equally well in this one. "He founded Wei, he founded Weiei."

hay drake what warrior are you going do to next?

Where did you get those video games clips to make your videos?

Didn't he get adopted by an eunuch?

"Moooo!" - Cao Cao

Also, you've gotten the attention of JoshScorcher, bud. I'd consider that an honor.

so all this time I've been playing as the bad guys.... this is both interesting and depressing because that kinda says alot about my character x.x

I like Cao Cao he is definitely 1 of my mains.. wei and Jin are the best armies in my opinion.. Good video I liked the presentation

if lu bu joins cao cao, lu bu will betray him and turn against him

wait.... his campaign starts after the yellow turbin rebellion? what game are we talking about exactly because last i checked every warriors game I've ever played started with the yellow turben rebellion... has something changed?

"I would rather betray the world than have the world betray me!"

Wei was my favourate

A fun fact (yes this is a historical fact) about Cao Cao: he loved to take other people's wives (well, mostly widows) as his concubines.

You forgot his relation ties to one of the Han empress (who fell victim to the eunuchs).
