Introduction: To say that the person who helped Cao Cao the most was not Guo Jia or Jia Xu, nor Cao Cao's family background, but Xun Yu, who was known as "Wang Zuo's talent". He was a member of Cao Cao's core leadership team, and formulated a strategy for Cao Cao to "blackmail the son of heaven to order the princes", and during Cao Cao's foreign conquests, Xun Yu was mainly responsible for the administrative affairs of the rear of Cao Cao's camp and the supply of front-line troops. There has never been a mistake in more than ten years, and he also helped Cao Cao turn over the plate when he was most in danger. However, such an important person was eventually snubbed by Cao Cao and even committed suicide.
Xun Yu was born in the Xun family of the Yingchuan clan, and Yingchuan was the place with the strongest academic atmosphere in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Xun Yu grew up in this environment, cultivating his long-term insight and quick thinking. When Dong Zhuo was in chaos in Beijing, Xun Yu felt that the world was about to be in chaos, and at first he was optimistic about Yuan Shao, after all, Yuan Shao was very famous at that time, and three generations of the four generations of his ancestors had achieved the position of Three Dukes, and the protégés were all over the government and the public, and even the anti-Dong coalition army elected him as the leader of the alliance. But what Xun Yu did not expect was that Yuan Shao's Achilles heel also had many fatal weaknesses, and Xun Yu felt that such a person would definitely not be able to do anything, so he abandoned Yuan Shao.
Later, he paid attention to Cao Cao, who at that time was just an inconspicuous little prince in the Central Plains, with only Chen Liu County and a few county towns in the city, and no soldiers and horses. But Cao Cao was bold and very sophisticated, and he was able to develop his own strength in the Central Plains. Xun Yu thought that Cao Cao would be a good lord, so he went to Chen Liu to defect. Xun Yu's arrival surprised Cao Cao, and after learning of his identity and knowledge, he immediately worshipped him as a military master, and also opened the golden age of the two.
After the end of the Battle of Western Liang, Cao Cao already owned most of the world's territory and had entered the old age period, so in order to show his merits, he forced Emperor Xian of Han to make himself the Duke of Wei. It should be known that there were clear regulations in the Han Dynasty that it was not allowed to appoint other people other than the royal family named Liu as dukes or princes, and Cao Cao's doing so was tantamount to openly challenging the authority of the Han dynasty, and also exposing his ambitions to the people of the world. However, this practice was supported by the ministers of the court, and Emperor Xian of Han did not dare to disobey Cao Cao's intentions, but at this time Xun Yu stood up against it.
In Xun Yu's view, although there are frequent wars and chaos at present and the country is fragmented, it still belongs to the Han dynasty, and the etiquette to be followed is also the Han etiquette, so it is also necessary to abide by the regulations of the Han room. Although Cao Cao was highly skilled, he had become a chancellor, and his power was already above ten thousand people, but he also had to abide by the rules of his ancestors. If you want to reward, you can ask Your Majesty to reward the mansion or countless beautiful women, and Presumably Your Majesty will agree. Xun Yu's words shocked Cao Cao, as if the person in front of him was not the Xun Yu he knew, and Cao Cao suddenly felt particularly strange.
Although Emperor Xian of Han did not immediately agree to the canonization of Cao Cao as duke of Wei, Cao Cao had already ordered someone to draw up an edict and wait for Emperor Xian of Han to sign and then make an announcement. Cao Cao thought of Xun Yu, he did not understand that at this time, the Han Room had already exhausted its strength, and the ministers of the DPRK also respected themselves, but he still did not understand why Xun Yu was still on the opposite side of himself. After thinking about it, Cao Cao finally ordered someone to send a box to Xun Yu, and when Xun Yu saw the box sent by Cao Cao, he thought that it was a glass of poisoned wine or a three-foot white silk, but when he opened it, it was empty. Suddenly, he understood Cao Cao's meaning, so he took poison and committed suicide.
Cao Cao sent him an empty box to tell him that he had no food to eat, because Cao Cao had already divided Xun Yu's position into the faction of Emperor Xian of Han and completely removed him from his circle. And Cao Cao was determined to do this Duke of Wei, and even had further plans, xun Yutong did not agree to do it. And Xun Yu also knew that Cao Cao was powerful, and it was even more impossible for the Han Room to turn over, and he would never get Cao Cao's attention or even see hope. He was also worried that after Cao Cao ascended the throne, he would be angry with himself and the family behind him, and he could only choose to die, so that the family would not be involved.
