Cao Hong and His Loyalty 28.06.08
By Goenawan Lee posted in quote. Saturday, Jun 28th, 2008 at 5:53 amCao Cao, thrown into a flurry, mounted and fled. He ran right in the way of the waiting Xu Rong. Then he dashed off in another direction, but Xu Rong shot an arrow after him which struck him in the shoulder. The arrow still in the wound, Cao Cao fled for his life. As he went over the hill, two soldiers lying in wait among the grass suddenly dashed out and wounded his horse, which fell and rolled over. And as he slipped from the saddle, he was seized and made prisoner.
Just then a horseman came, riding at full speed and whirling his sword up, cut down both the captors, and rescued Cao Cao. It was Cao Hong.
Cao Cao said, “I am doomed, good brother. Go and save yourself!”
“My lord, mount my horse quickly! I will go afoot,” said Cao Hong.
“If those wretches come up, what then?” said Cao Cao.
“The world can do without Cao Hong, but not without you, my lord!”
“If I live, I shall owe you my life,” said Cao Cao.
Romance of Three Kingdoms, Chapter 6
The Battle of Xingyang, 190 AD, a scene when Cao Cao’s general Cao Hong yielded his horse to his lord, who was pursued by Lu Bu’s army. Cao Hong offered Cao Cao his horse but Cao Cao would not accept at first. Cao Hong then said–his legendary quote, “The world can do without Cao Hong, but not without you, my lord!” Thus he followed Cao Cao on foot and they withdrew back to Suanzao by night.
Cao Hong may not have been a great strategist, but he seemed to be a good and loyal general with a clear devotion to Cao Cao such as the time he gave him his horse to escape. He was a bit hot-headed against enemies, but humble towards Cao Cao. Unfortunately, Cao Cao once was greatly upset by Cao Hong’s reckless act, and ordered Cao Hong’s execution, but the advisors stopped him. However, Cao Cao was in danger of losing his life when Ma Chao defeated him. Once again, Cao Hong came to rescue his lord.
And, do you see the similar case in our beloved country?

Hmm… in Indonesia, huh… Unfortunately, I do not know of any specific cases where people who have been loyal towards whom they serve gets punished instead. But I can say… ouch.

Bentar …. flashbackmu ama Endonesah tuh tahun berapa?
Tapi saya pernah menanyakan mengenai Keloyalan VS Disiplin.
Apakah Disiplin sudah pasti Loyal ?
Apakah keloyalan harus ditunjukkan dengan kedisiplinan?
Dan hasilnya ……………….. sekarang saya …
ah sudahlah !!.

However, Cao Cao was in danger of losing his life when Ma Chao defeated him. Once again, Cao Hong came to rescue his lord.
Gun, ini peristiwa dimana dan kapan ? Sewaktu Battle of Tong River (Tong Pass) dimana pertempuran antara Ma Chao [ditambah Han Sui] dan Cao Cao, yang menyelamatkan Cao Cao itu bukan Cao Hong tapi pengawalnya Cao Cao yaitu Xu Zhu (Xu Chu). Cao Hong memang menahan pasukan Ma Chao di Tong River tapi yang mengeluarkan Cao Cao dari pertempuran itu Xu Zhu dengan cara digendong. Wiki kurang tepat menggambarkan Battle of Tong Pass, karena lebih akurat kalau baca Sanguo Zhi-nya Chen Shou.
Ma Chao nggak pernah berhadapan langsung dengan Cao Cao sewaktu dia jadi Five Tiger General of Shu. Jadi cuma di Battle of Tong Pass saja dia hampir/nyaris membunuh Cao Cao tapi nyawa Cao Cao diselamatkan oleh pengawalnya.
Cao Cao memang beberapa kali nyaris dibunuh. Sewaktu lawan Zhang Lu dia diselamatkan oleh Dian Wei. Sewaktu kalah di Battle of Chi Bi dia dibiarkan hidup oleh Guan Yu mengingat jasanya dulu. Dan di Battle of XingYang dia diselamatkan oleh sepupunya Cao Hong. Belum lagi dengan peristiwa lain.
Iya, contoh yang mirip di Indonesia apaan, Gun ?

Saya ngga bisa menemukan apa yang mirip dengan situasi di Indonesia, tapi ini jadi agak mengingatkan akan Erwin Rommel — Generalfeldmarschall Wehrmacht Jerman Nazi.
Agak beda sih.
Kalau Rommel peristiwanya sama bawahannya. Sempat ada beberapa bawahan dan officer setara yang kurang suka caranya dia memimpin dan kadang terlibat konflik. Tapi ketika Rommel dituduh terlibat Plot 20 Juli pembunuhan Hitler dan disuruh memilih mau bunuh diri dengan sianida atau para bawahannya dibunuh, Rommel lebih memilih mati dengan sianida.

Halah Gun… yang di Republik mimpi ini Cao Hongnya bukan dihukum penggal kok, cuman dimasukin sel untuk pasang badan dengan jaminan fasilitas ehm.. ehm.. Supaya Cao Cao nya ga terseret keluar yg bisa mengakibatkan publik marah. Jadi para Cao Hong harus siap2 pasang badan untuk meng-hidden para Cao Cao diatas ituh. Lebih asik kan daripada nasib Cao Hong beneran?? hehehe…
