The revenge of killing a son is the deepest hatred in the world, but sometimes, even if the son is killed, people are forced by the status quo and cannot avenge him.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao killed Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu. Cao Cao was a chancellor of the Han Dynasty, and his power was monstrous, and Yang Biao could not help him, so he could not avenge Yang Xiu. Cao Cao was a Han Dynasty minister, Yang Biao was a Han Dynasty lieutenant, and the two were colleagues and often met. After Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, when he saw Yang Biao again, he found that Yang Biao had not been seen for a few days, and suddenly lost a lot of weight, and he asked Yang Biao with concern: "Why are you emaciated?" ”
Yang Biao's emaciation was caused by Cao Cao killing his son, Cao Cao knowingly asked, in Yang Biao's view, he directly replied to Cao Cao: "Shame has no day to see the foresight, and cherishes the love of the old cow lick." "I am ashamed that I did not have the foresight of Kim Il-seok and kill my son in advance, and now that my son has been killed, I am as sad that I love calves as an old cow."
Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu, was born famous and talented, and was a young talent. At a young age, he was recruited by Cao Cao to his command and made the main bookkeeper. Yang Xiu originally had an incomparably brilliant future, but he did not know how to restrain his own light, but in order to show his wisdom, he was eager to express himself everywhere. What he did touched Cao Cao's anti-scales, and finally made Cao Cao dissatisfied.
Someone gave Cao Cao a box of shortbread, and Cao Cao wrote "a bite of crisp" on the box and left. After Cao Cao left, Yang Xiu took out the shortbread and distributed it to everyone. Everyone was puzzled, and Yang Xiu said: "The minister wrote a bite of crisp, which means to let everyone eat a bite." After Cao Cao knew, although he was displeased, he would not punish and kill the minister because of a box of shortbread, so as not to make people think that he had a small belly.
Cao Cao had many capable subjects, such as Xun Yu, Xun You, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu and others, whose strategy and talent were far above Yang Xiu.'s. Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and others gave Cao Cao a lot of advice on big things, but they never showed their wisdom in small things. Although Yang Xiu was smart, his cleverness was not great wisdom, but a small wisdom that made Cao Cao dismiss him.
Once, while Cao Cao was sleeping, a servant approached him and was killed by Cao Cao. Subsequently, it was reported that Cao Cao was "killing people in his dreams", and people did not dare to approach the sleeping Cao Cao for fear of killing people in Cao Cao's dreams. Cao Cao was treacherous and suspicious, and the reason why he created the murder in his dream was because he was afraid that someone would assassinate him while he was sleeping. Everyone knew that after Cao Cao would kill in his dream, he did not dare to approach Cao Cao. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiu told everyone that cao Cao's dream of killing people was fake. Cao Cao was greatly dissatisfied with this, but it was not good to kill Yang Xiu because of this.
Cao Cao was a very powerful person, and he would not worry about Yang Xiujin because of some small things, but Yang Xiu was involved in the sensitive shizi dispute. After the deaths of Cao Ang and Cao Chong, Cao Cao hesitated between Cao Zhi and Cao Pi, not knowing who to pass on. He planned to test the two of them. Cao Zhi, with the help of Yang Xiu, could always pass Cao Cao's test, so that Cao Cao could not test Cao Zhi's ability, and Cao Cao was quite angry.
Cao Cao wrote to Yang Xiu's father, Yang Biao: "The wise son of the foot, the power of the proud father, whenever he does not share with me, that is, he wants to straighten the rope, and Gu is quite hateful. In the letter, Cao Cao expressed his dissatisfaction with Yang Xiu. Perhaps at this time, Cao Cao also wanted to give Yang Xiu a chance to get lost, not to be self-righteous, to play smart, and most importantly, not to participate in the battle of shizi anymore, but Yang Xiu did not relent.
When Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought for Hanzhong, since Liu Bei had already occupied Hanzhong, Cao Cao could not defeat Liu Bei and retake Hanzhong, but he was unwilling to concede defeat, so he fell into a dilemma of neither advancing nor retreating. At this time, Cao Cao casually issued an order, which only had the words "chicken ribs" on it. Everyone was puzzled, and Yang Xiu said: "Chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it, let everyone pack their bags, and the prime minister is ready to withdraw his troops." When Cao Cao heard about this, he was furious and killed Yang Xiu on the grounds that he had "leaked his words and religion before and after, and handed over to the princes of Guanguan".
Yang Xiu's official position was not high, and killing him in the chaotic world was originally an insignificant thing, but Yang Xiu was born in the famous family of the Hongnong Yang clan. Yang Chang, Yang Zhen, Yang Bing, Yang Ci, and Yang Biao of the Han Dynasty, Yang Jian, Yang Guang, Yang Xuangan, and Yang Su of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guozhong and Yang Guifei of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Jiajian of the Song Dynasty are said to be from the Yang clan of Hongnong. Yang Xiu's high ancestor Yang Zhen, the official Situ and Taiwei, the great-grandfather Yang Bing, the official Residence Taiwei, the grandfather Yang Ci, served as Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei, and his father Yang Biao was also an official.
Yang Xiu was a prominent family member after the "Fourth Emperor and Three Dukes", and his father Yang Biao, who was also a lieutenant during the Han Xiandi Period, ranked first among the Three Dukes. Unfortunately, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of Han was a puppet of Cao Cao, and Yang Biao's lieutenant was greatly discounted, and he had no real power in his hands. Even if Cao Cao killed his son, Yang Biao did not dare to offend Cao Cao. After Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, in order to appease Yang Biao, as well as the Hongnong Yang clan and other clans behind him, he rewarded Yang Biao with a lot of property, but the pain of losing his son still made Yang Biao sad.
