"Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Xun Wenruo on the yingshang, known as Wang Zuocai. Fame qi wuyue, gong karma shock three. Meng De has no end, and Liu Hou will not come again. Faithful to hate death, the world is full of sorrow!
"Left arm and right arm" is the collective name of the indispensable right-hand man of the ancient king, Cao Cao once compared himself to Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, and compared the powerful man Xun Yu around him to Zhang Liang, who assisted Liu Bang in sitting on the throne of the king. Cao Cao was able to sit in the final high position, and he was inseparable from Xun Yu. Cao Cao had long recognized Xun Yu's ability, and when Xun Yu joined Cao Cao's army, Cao Cao was not to mention how happy he was, he bluntly said that Xun Yu was my sub-room and would be used by me in the future. In this way, we can see Cao Cao's importance to Xun Yu. However, Cao Cao sent an empty food box to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu committed suicide after seeing it.
Xun Yu's help to Cao Cao
Cao Cao valued Xun Yu, and Xun Yu did not disappoint Cao Cao, and Xun Yu made great contributions in several critical moments. At that time, Cao Cao and Tao Qian were opposed, but Yanzhou did not unite at a critical moment, and some of them colluded with Lü Bu, resulting in some of the cities in Yanzhou being directly occupied by Lü Bu, and the situation was turbulent. When Cao Cao was at a loss, Xun Yu stood up, and he called on everyone to unite and finally guard Cao Cao's three cities. With the city in place, Cao Cao could have the capital to fight again. After adjusting the strategy, Cao Cao counterattacked again, this time, completely defeating Lü Bu and protecting the stability of Yanzhou.
However, Xun Yu's help to Cao Cao was not limited to this. During the Battle of Guandu, Xun Yu's help was Cao Cao's capital to completely go to the highlight. At that time, the suppression of Yuan Shao's army caused Cao Cao to be out of breath, and Xun Yu proposed that things should be handled with scheming, so he put forward the famous "Four Victories Theory" in history. The four victories are divided into four aspects: degree, strategy, martial arts, and virtue, and he analyzed them from these four aspects and gave Cao Cao a reassuring pill. Because Xun Yu believed that Cao Cao would undoubtedly win in this battle. It was this prediction that doubled Cao Cao's confidence. However, Xun Yu did not say the real reason why he had this prediction, that is, he believed that Yuan Shao's advisers would inevitably change, making it impossible for him to win. Sure enough, Yuan Shao's main heart bone was broken, and his natural combat effectiveness was weakened by more than half.
However, because Yuan Shao's forces were much stronger than Cao Cao's, Cao Cao was still not Yuan Shao's opponent in a certain sense, and when he was about to be unable to resist Yuan Shao, Xun Yu told Cao Cao that the more this time, the more he could not retreat. If you retreat at this time, then the mental energy and experience that you have spent with Yuan Shao for half a year are not all wasted? Cao Cao was greatly inspired to listen to it and persevered. Soon after, Xu You surrendered, and Xu You told Cao Cao that he could sneak up on Wuchao and strangle Yuan Shao's forces in this way. Although Cao Cao did not dare to believe it completely, he still joined forces with Xun Yu and burned the Wuchao. Unexpectedly, this burning really destroyed the local forces, and finally Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu.
As Cao Cao's mastermind, it was Xun Yu's daily life to give advice and advice, but in addition to these trivial strategies, Xun Yu was also very helpful to Cao Cao in other aspects. For example, during Cao Cao's conquest, Xun Yu helped him handle political affairs and was able to handle government affairs in an orderly manner. In addition to government affairs and conquest, Xun Yu would recommend a large number of talents to Cao Cao so that his power would expand later. In short, as long as it is what Xun Yu can think of and is beneficial to Cao Cao, he will try to do it well. Thanks to his unremitting efforts, Cao Cao's career has been able to rise steadily.
Love each other, but in the end it is the same as water and fire
Cao Cao and Xun Yu can be described as a pair of career partners in people's eyes, they complement each other and are mutually beneficial and symbiotic, as if God intends to bring the two together, thinking that the two can create a lot of achievements, even Cao Cao and Xun Yu themselves believe that each other will be the longest-term people. However, things will never go in the direction that people expect, and once the two have a conflict of ideals, the friendship they once had will immediately disappear.
After Cao Cao's power was consolidated, his only wish was to quickly establish himself as king, but the "king" he said was not the "king" that Xun Yu also expected. Originally, Xun Yu expected Cao Cao to revive the Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao wanted to follow in Wang Mang's footsteps and become a new generation of kings. Xun Yu was devoted to Han, he initially assisted Cao Cao in order to restore Han, and now everything is going against the grain, how can he go against his will?
Empty food boxes are to blame
Xun Yu admonished Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not listen at all, and the two of them completely contradicted each other's thoughts. The friendship once reached the freezing point, Cao Cao believed that Xun Yu did not understand himself, and Xun Yu thought that his years of efforts had been ruined, the two were getting deeper and deeper, and no one was willing to compromise. As Xun Yu's close friend, Cao Cao gave Xun Yu an empty food box, wanting to warn Xun Yu with emptiness, "I can let you live, or you can live shortly..." He wanted to threaten Xun Yu and make him quickly compromise with himself, but what he did not expect was that this action made Xun Yu directly choose death. Because his heart is too firm, even if it is a threat, it will never shake him. After Cao Cao learned of Xun Yu's death, he was devastated, he did not expect his best friend to be so stubborn, which also became a regret in Cao Cao's life.
