Why did Liu Bang and Li Yuan unify the world in less than 7 years, while Cao Cao took 34 years to divide the world into three parts?

Cao Cao fought against characters of the same level as him, no matter if it was Liu Bei or Sun Quan, each of them had the ability to compete with him one on one. It can be seen from the Burning of Chibi and Guan Yu's defeat in Jingzhou where no one dared to defend Cao Cao's territory that they all had the ability to fight him and were both brave and resourceful. He was also afraid of the other two families joining forces. The most important thing was that the other two families each had their own geographical advantages: Wu had the water advantage, and Shu had the natural advantage of the Shu Road.

It is easy to attack one family alone, but once the other parties unite, it is likely that Cao Cao will be the one to die. Therefore, he can only consume the time until the older generation dies and then see the strength of the new generation. As expected, the new generation of Wu and Shu had no good generals or outstanding counselors, while Sima Yi lived longer and finally won the world.

These are also related to good luck. Without good luck, no matter how great you are, that position will never be yours in the end.

Liu Bang took less time than Zhu Yuanzhang because he had Han Xin, Li Yuan had Li Shimin, and they were able to conquer the world and lead troops in battle. Cao Cao's military talent was worse than Han Xin and Li Shimin, and he had no one who could match Han Xin and Li Shimin's military talent, so Cao Cao could only divide the world into three parts. Guo Jia, Liu Wenjing and Zhang Liang were very smart, but that was a talent for strategy, not a fighting ability. If you want to unify the world, you need military talents with strong fighting ability.
