Cao Xiu was a major general of the Cao clan and militarily capable, and was once praised by Cao Cao as the Cao family's thousand-mile colt, and together with Cao Zhen, became the mainstay of the late Cao Wei period.
Cao Xiu was the first to appear in the Tongquetai archery competition, and an arrow hit the arrow target Red Heart.
Cao Hong and Cao Xiu sent troops together to fight against Zhang Fei, and Cao Cao said to Cao Xiu, although you joined the army, in fact, you were the main general. When Cao Hong heard this, he very sensibly asked Cao Xiu to command the army, and in military operations, let Cao Xiu make the final decision.
After Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Cao Xiu was appointed Grand Sima and became the highest military commander.
Cao Xiu fought all his life, however, in the Battle of Shiting, he was defeated, but thanks to Jia Kui's army to rescue, otherwise, Cao Xiu could not return to the State of Wei, and was either killed in battle or captured alive by Eastern Wu.
Who is Jia Kui? Say two things and you'll think of him.
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Zhang, with an army of 100,000, asked Cao Pi about the crime and wanted to seize the throne, Jia Kui went to see Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhang asked where was the former king Xi Shuo? Jia Kui said, The state has a long king, the first king Xi Shuo, this is not what you should ask. Cao Zhang, dumbfounded, obediently surrendered his military power.
When Sima Zhao was in power, Cao Xi took the palace slaves to fight Sima Zhao, and Jia Chong instructed Cheng Ji to kill Cao Zhao, and the culprit Jia Chong was Jia Kui's son.
Jia Kui saved Cao Xiu, but Cao Xiu did not appreciate it, but deliberately humiliated Jia Kui.
Jia Kui and Cao Xiu were originally at odds, and there were festivals, and Cao Xiu repeatedly said bad things about Jia Kui in front of the emperor, which made him stumble.
Emperor Cao Pi of Wei had wanted to grant Jia Kui the Fu Festival, which could represent the emperor, but Cao Xiu blocked it, saying that Jia Kui had a bad personality, looked down on the generals, and could not give this kind of great power, and Cao Pi dismissed this idea.
In the Battle of Shiting, if Jia Kui deliberately slowed down the rescue of Cao Xiu, Cao Xiu would definitely die.
However, Jia Kui did not care about the previous suspicions, official business, still in time to rescue, so that Cao Xiu would not lose his life.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, and the Biography of Jia Kui records that in the beginning, Kui and Hugh were not good. Huang Junior High School, Emperor Wen wanted to fake the Festival, And Xiu Yue said: "Kui Sex Gang, Su Insult Yi Generals, do not be the governor." "The Emperor is stopped. And the defeat of the stone, the slight kui, the hugh army is almost helpless.
At that time, Cao Xiu was chased by the army of Eastern Wu Luxun, threw away his armor and was very embarrassed, after seeing Jia Kui, Cao Xiu complained that Jia Kui was late, loudly rebuked Jia Kui, and in the name of Sima Da, ordered Jia Kui to pick up the abandoned battle that had fallen on the ground.
This is obviously an attempt to humiliate Jia Kui and bully others.
Who knows, Jia Kui was not humble and did not hesitate, and shot back, saying that I am a state-appointed assassin, not for you to pick up the abandonment of the battle, and when I finished, I took the troops back.
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms quotes Wei Luo as saying: "Hugh complained that he was late in entering the army, but he rebuked Kui, so he made the lord of Yu prefecture to pick up the history of abandonment. Kui Was straight-hearted, saying to Hugh Yue: "I originally made the history of Yuzhou for the country, but I did not come to pick up and abandon the battle." "It is to lead the army back."
From this incident, it can be seen that Cao Xiu's pattern is really too small. People are kind enough to save you, but they will take revenge.
In fact, Jia Kui should not have saved him, deliberately leading the soldiers to be half a day late, and Cao Xiu looked good. Wouldn't it be nice to send an umbrella in the rain!
But Jia Kui was not that kind of person, his personality was so, he was a loyal subject of the State of Wei.
Later, after Cao Xiubing was defeated, he suffered poisonous sores on his back and died quickly, which was not surprising at all.
