Is Cao Shuang, the official general, really gone? What did he do?

Although Cao Shuang was a general, compared with Sima Yi at that time, he really looked like a nobody. In fact, it is not very accurate to say that he is a nobody, because his stupidity is really admirable. If it weren't for his stupidity, perhaps Sima Yi wouldn't have usurped the throne at all. I think the biggest thing for him should be to kill Sima Yi, a traitor, and not listen to the courtiers. It gave Sima Yi a chance to defect and eventually led to the country's demise. This should be the most important thing he has done in history.

Cao Shuang is in a high position, but he doesn't have the ability to be a general. Cao Shuang was eager for success, but he didn't have any strategy personally, so he almost accomplished nothing in the end. Cao Shuang met the wily Sima Yi, and it must be him who lost. But personally, I think it is not shameful for Cao Shuang to lose to Sima Yi. After all, Sima Yi is also famous for his wily.

Ming Di and Cao Rui also entrusted the Prince to Cao Shuang and Sima Yi. In fact, Cao Shuang takes good care of the Prince. Although he really has no military talent and doesn't listen to his officials, in my opinion, he is killing himself. Finally, he died because he had grown up and refused to listen to other people's advice.

In fact, from the correct point of view, we can't judge whether an ancient person is nobody. If he is really unknown, then we can't see his name in the history books at all. But in fact, Cao Shuang's deeds are recorded in detail in the history books. Therefore, at that time, it belonged to a generation that was unknown and had no achievements, but it was also prominent in modern history.
