At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos. How many separatist forces did Cao Cao conquer? Is Cao Cao a loyal minister in the Han Dynasty? How did his power grow?

Cao Cao should be loyal to the Han Dynasty. At the very least, he basically stabilized the overall situation of the world. Apart from Dong Zhuoping, Yuan Shao and Huang Jin, he made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, enabling the people to live a basically stable life. He is good at appreciating heroes, but he is a good minister who manages the world and attracts many heroes, so his power has grown.
