Cao Cao was born in Bozhou, but he didn't build his capital here. Do you know where Cao Cao built his capital?

Cao Cao established his capital in Xuchang, Henan. Cao Cao didn't call himself emperor. In the first year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao held Xian Di hostage and moved the capital to Xu County, which is very famous in history. 22 1 year, Wei Wendi Cao Pi took Wei Jichang as Xu County and changed it to "Xuchang". Xuchang was the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor and moved to Luoyang a few months later, and designated Xuchang as the "five capitals of Wei".

In the 25th year of Jian 'an (AD 220), Cao Pi, the son of Cao Cao, replaced Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, established the State of Wei and moved the capital to Luoyang. The following year (22 1), Cao Pi changed Xu County to Xuchang with the meaning of "Han died in Xu and Wei Chang died in Xu", which was the original source of "Xuchang". At the same time, he also listed Xuchang as one of the five capitals of Wei. "Yuanhe County Records" records: "Wei moved the capital to Luoyang, and the palace armory is still in Xuchang." Cao Pi's reign was less than seven years, but he visited Xuchang Palace four times and appointed Sima Yi to guard Xuchang, which shows Xuchang's position in the hearts of Cao Cao and his son.

Extended data:

Luoyang was the political, economic and cultural center of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the main battlefield of heroic disputes at the end of the Han Dynasty was also the north and south areas of the Yellow River around Chang 'an, Luoyang and Kaifeng. Xuchang and Luoyang, the capital city, are located in the south of the Yellow River, backed by Songshan Mountain, with Luoyang in the northwest and Xuchang in the southeast. Xuchang can reach the Yellow River directly to the north, only 200 miles; It is only more than 300 miles to the northwest via Yuzhou and Dengfeng.

Choosing such a geographical location as the base area can not only keep Cao Cao Group away from the center of political and cultural struggle, but also facilitate the understanding and control of the struggle situation, and will not make Cao Cao Group in the whirlpool of the struggle of public criticism, which is extremely beneficial for Cao Cao Group to obtain political interests.
