During the Three Kingdoms period, the princes were divided, the three kingdoms of Wei, Shu, and Wu were established, and the strong generals under Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan were like clouds. Just as the so-called heroes of the chaotic world, in such a chaotic period, there have been many brave and strategic generals, who have cut thorns and thorns on the battlefield and killed countless enemies, but when you open the history books, you will find that many generals have tragic results, lost their lives on the battlefield, and some even have no news and finally did not account for their ending.
Cao Cao, as the hegemon of one side, had Cao Hong, Le Jin and other generals under his command, and Cao Cao trusted Xu Zhu the most. Xu Zhu was tall, strong and unusual, strong in martial arts, as fierce as a tiger, known as "Tiger Fool", one of Cao Wei's fierce generals. Xu Zhu defected to Cao Cao in his early years, he and Dianwei jointly served to defend Cao Cao, and later because of Dianwei's death, Xu Zhu became Cao Cao's most trusted general, serving as the "Middle Protector", Cao Cao had a very high evaluation of Xu Zhu, he greatly appreciated Xu Zhu's ability, and at the same time Xu Zhu was loyal to Cao Cao, and repeatedly saved Cao Cao's safety in the chaotic world.
In the process of Cao Cao's crusade against the world, Xu Zhu was always with Cao Cao. Five years after Jian'an, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao broke out, and Yuan Shao sent people to Cao Cao's camp to assassinate Cao Cao, but due to Xu Zhu's complete protection, the assassins could not find the opportunity to approach Cao Cao, until late at night when Xu Zhu left the camp, these assassins appeared to prepare to assassinate Cao Cao, Xu Zhu was relieved of the safety of the lord, and returned to the same way to meet the assassins and kill them all. After this incident, Cao Cao was very grateful to Xu Zhu and would take Xu Zhu with him wherever he went to fight. The existence of Xu Zhu largely eliminated the dangers around Cao Cao, and some people in history have commented that without Xu Zhu there would be no later Cao Cao.
The historical record of Xu Zhu stopped in 220 AD, this year, with the death of Cao Cao, Xu Zhu was heartbroken, crying until he vomited blood, and then Xu Zhu also disappeared on the stage of history. After Cao Cao's death, his son Cao Pi ascended the throne, Cao Pi knew that Xu Zhu was loyal and wanted to continue to reuse Xu Zhu, but at this time Xu Zhu's health was deteriorating, and after experiencing Cao Cao's death, he did not have the pride and ambition to accompany Cao Cao. After Cao Pi learned of Xu Zhu's idea, he did not want to lose such a talent, so he made Xu Zhu the governor and stayed in the rear to manage the affairs of the palace. Xu Zhu treated Cao Cao loyally and died, and Cao Cao's descendants did not treat Xu Zhu badly, and Xu Zhu was promoted to Mou Xiang hou after Cao Rui ascended the throne, and his later life was also smooth.
In such a chaotic Three Kingdoms period, the endings of many heroes were not satisfactory, missing Guan Yu who missed Jingzhou and was killed by traitors; Pang Tong who died tragically in Luofengpo; and Sun Ce, who died young and was excellent in martial arts. These heroes waved their faces on the battlefield, but in the end they ended up with a tragic death, in this contrast, Xu Zhu's ending is quite good, although there is no brilliant record, dazzling fame, but in the end it is also a dead end.
