曹操屠泗南三县辨析

Analysis on the Events that Cao Cao Slaughtered the Three Counties in Sinan Area

《后汉书·陶谦传》与《曹瞒传》中有曹操屠泗南三县的记载,然而分析史料,却发现两部史书对于此事件的记载颇有出入,查阅其他史料,则分歧更大。粗浅辨析后,认为以上二传关于此事件的记载皆不实,曹操征陶谦时并未去过泗南三县,更无所谓屠此三县。

Both History of the Later Han Dynasty and Biography of Cao Man have records that Cao Cao slaughtered the three Counties in Sinan area. However, with analysis of historical materials, we can found this two historical records are quite different from each other. It is proved to be more so after checking the other historical data. After some superficial discrimination on this issue, this essay draw a con- clusion that the above two book contains neither documented fact. Because during t- he Cao- cao-Taoqian war, Cao Cao had not ever been to the three counties of Sinan.
