Xun Yu, as a chancellor of the Cao Wei clique, why did he jump out to stop Cao Cao when he was ready to enter the Duke of Guo and Jiu Xi in the later period? To understand this problem, it is necessary to analyze it in the context of the social environment at that time.
Let's first take the example in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Cao Cao stabilized the rear at that time, led his troops south to Jingzhou, and lined up to look at Jiangdong.
At this moment, within the Sun Wu group, there was a difference of opinion on whether to resist Cao Cao or lower Cao. Yigan Wenchen advocated surrendering to Cao Cao, while the attitude of the Wu general clique was to fight to the death.
And what is the reason for this polarization, Lu Su's sentence said the root cause.
Su Yue: "If Su and others are demoted, when they return to the party, they will not lose the state and county; the general will be demoted, and he wants to return to peace?" The position is not a marquis, the car is not more than a ride, the ride is not more than a horse, never more than a few people, how can the south be called lonely!
The meaning of this sentence and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The biography of Lu Su records much the same thing. After Lu Su's clique of civilian officials surrendered to Cao Cao, the tired officials did not lose the prefecture and county, and they could also mix with the side of cao's staff.
From this point, we can see that the civilian official group, as the representative of the scholar clan, is more like a cooperative relationship with the three generations of the Sun family. Now that a stronger leader had come, they decisively abandoned Sun Quan and joined the Cao Wei clique.
After the surname Of Cao in Jiangdong, it was also inseparable from the support of the local family, and the civil officials only changed a chairman.
The expression in the interpretation is basically in line with historical facts. The same was true of Dong Zhuo at that time, although he was overbearing in Luoyang, he also had to extend an olive branch to the Guandong Shi clan in order to gain fame and support.
Dong Zhuo Bingzheng, Fu Zheng Shuang, Shuang Wants to Run Away, and is anxious to hold on to it. Zhaoxia County, that is, bai plain phase. He went to the Yuan Mausoleum and followed Guang Luxun. For three days, I prayed to Sikong. From the cloth, ninety-five days to the third gong. --The Book of Continuation
Xun Shuang was Xun Yu's uncle, and his grandfather Xun Shu (荀淑高才達世), known as the Divine King, gave birth to eight sons, also known as Xianliang Bojun (贤良博俊), known as the Eight Dragons, and Xun Shuang was one of the Eight Dragons.
The Xun family is a famous and prestigious family in Yingchuan, and it is also the façade of the Kwantung Shi clan. Dong Zhuo quickly promoted Xun Shuang and arrived at Sangong in the ninety-fifth day, and his intentions were self-evident.
As a warlord in the northwest, he wanted to settle down in Luoyang, and force could not solve everything. But in the end, it really did not win the hearts of the people, and it also attracted various conquests, and simply burned Luoyang West to Chang'an.
Then look at Cao Cao's history of his family. He started in Yanzhou, but at that time, he was able to enter Yanzhou so smoothly because he had the support of the clan represented by Chen Gong.
Later, Chen Gong and others rebelled, and all over Yanzhou responded to Lü Bu as the boss, almost leaving Lao Cao with no foothold. The Yanzhou Shi clan only had Cheng Yu running around and echoing, defending Dong'a and Fan Counties, and then adding juancheng to reserve the spark of stars for Cao Cao.
Therefore, the strength of the family should not be underestimated in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Cao Cao's later supporters of prosperity were the Yingchuan Xun family, and the leading elder brother was Xun Yu.
As a famous scholar of the Wang clan, he himself carried the aura effect, and attracted Guo Jia, Zhong Xuan, Xia Zhicai and other people who were recommended, becoming an important strategist of Cao Cao, and also occupying an important force in Cao Wei's civilian official group.
Cao Cao took control of the army and appointed Xiahou Zhucao to conquer the four sides. Xun Yu sat in the rear, and the two cooperated perfectly.
But on the whole, they are also cooperative relations, working together under the Han family Tianzi. Xun Yu's official position was Shang Shu Ling,which was simply the secretary of Emperor Xian of Han and received the Title of Han Dynasty Feng Lu.
Cao Cao's entry into the Duke of Guo, Jia Jiu Xi, clashed with Xun Yu's ideals of life.
As a famous and prestigious family, the idea instilled from an early age is nothing more than loyalty to the king and service to the country, and the benefit of the world. At this moment, Xun Yu's ambition was to support the Han Room, and cooperating with Cao Cao was also to continue Han Zuo's life, so the chaotic courtiers and thieves would definitely not be able to do it.
However, Cao Cao has now achieved great things, there is a whale swallowing the world, the desire in his heart has expanded, and he wants to go one step further and taste the taste of higher power, which is the inevitable result of the development of human nature.
Just if you want to successfully ascend to the throne, you must smooth the opinions of insiders and get the support of the public. As the spokesman of the civil service system, Xun Yu has become a link that cannot be bypassed. And he disagreed.
Yu thought that Taizu Benxing's righteous soldiers were in the kuang dynasty, loyal and sincere, and kept the truth of retreating; it was not appropriate for a gentleman to love people with virtue. Taizu is unable to calm his heart. --Romance of the Three Kingdoms
As a result, two partners who used to work happily together had a rift in their hearts.
Blocking people's financial paths is like killing parents. Now Xun Yu has also become a stumbling block, and the next fate is to be kicked away.
Cao Cao took advantage of the opportunity of the southern conquest of Sun Quan to move a nest for Xun Yu, asking him to go to Yu Commandery to reward the generals of the three armies and keep them, and gave him a false name of Guanglu Dafu to join the military of Xiang Xiang.
In this way, Xun Yu became a rootless Ping and was surrounded by the Cao clan's group of martial generals. It didn't take long for him to become depressed and finally die of shouchun.
When Chen Shou wrote the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, he was juxtaposed with Jia Xu and written into the WeiWu clique. However, Fan Ye's "Book of Later Han" ranked him alongside Zheng Tai and Kong Rong, regarded him as a Han Chen, and became the only person in the Cao Wei group to enter the "Book of Later Han".
Therefore, to say that during the Three Kingdoms period, who was the most loyal to the king and patriotic, who was the most virtuous, it was xun yu. He died and died in martyrdom, with Ming Suzhi, and his righteous deeds were of high standard and could be passed down for hundreds of generations.
