Who was Liu Fu, and why was Liu Fu, a rare good official of the Three Kingdoms, killed by Cao Cao after drinking?

Among the Three Kingdoms, Liu Fu was undoubtedly a model of capable subjects, and even more a rare good official. Liu Fu ---- the Yangzhou Assassin History appointed by Cao Cao. When he took office, There were Li Shu sent by Sun Ce in Lujiang, and tens of thousands of people such as Chen Lan, a remnant of Yuan Shu, gathered between the Yangtze River and the Huai River. Cao Cao, the boss whom Liu Fu could rely on, was then tightly entangled with Yuan Shao and was unable to look south (about 200 years or so). Cao Cao believed that Liu Fu was capable, so he appointed Liu Fu as the Assassin of Yangzhou.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms described Yangzhou as "a county in ruins". In such a difficult environment, Liu Fu only had one person to take office, and Hefei was just an empty city. Liu Fu established various systems in Hefei to recruit local Hao clans and remnants of Yuan Shu. These people were gathered in Hefei, and these people also provided a lot of materials for the construction of Hefei. In just a few years, Hefei City has been greatly developed and its reputation has been greatly enhanced. Tens of thousands of people have crossed the Yangtze River and crossed the mountains to Hefei.

After obtaining a large number of laborers, Liu Fu commanded the people to establish schools, recruit talents, and open up a large number of wastelands. Embankments were built and irrigation was strengthened, increasing the yield of rice paddies. Under Liu Fu's policy, both officials and the people had savings. In order to prevent The Eastern Wu Liu Fu commanded the hefei military and civilians to vigorously build the city wall, accumulate wood and stone and other building materials, weave tens of millions of straw mats, and store thousands of buckets of fish oil. A large number of strategic materials have been accumulated. It can be said that in just a few years, a single horse started from scratch and built a ruined empty city of Hefei into a strong city with a large number of strategic materials and a large number of labor. Liu Fu's efforts are enormous. He died in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208),

How Liu Fu died, Zhengshi did not explain very clearly, but in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is said that he was killed by Cao Cao after getting drunk, in fact, in the rendition, Liu Fu's image is similar to Zhengshi. For the history of Yangzhou, starting from Hemi, founding the state rule, gathering the scattered people, establishing schools, Guangtun Tian, Xingzhi jiao, Jiushi Cao Cao, and many meritorious achievements. On the occasion of Cao Cao's "feast on the Yangtze River and give poetry", he bluntly said that there were unlucky words in Cao Cao's poems, which provoked Cao Cao's anger after drunkenness, and he took up a hammer and stabbed Liu Fu to death. Cao Cao woke up drunk and regretted it, and ordered him to be buried with three public ceremonies.

However, from Liu Fu's efforts, we have reason to believe that his death was largely due to his overwork. After Liu Fu's death, Sun Quan took advantage of The Yu Wei of Chibi and led an army of 100,000 to besiege Hefei for more than 100 days. It was overcast and rainy, and the city walls were about to collapse under the erosion of the rain. The Hefei army used the grass mats accumulated by Liu Fu to cover the city wall from being eroded by rainwater, and at night it was illuminated with fish oil, and Sun Quanjun had no gap to take advantage of, and finally retreated. After the military and civilians of Yangzhou repelled Sun Quan, they even missed Liu Fu even more. Because it was the efforts and efforts of Liu Fu in the past eight years who took office alone that established Hefei from a ruined empty city into a defensive town that could withstand 100,000 troops.

In the days to come, Hefei became an important stronghold for Cao Jun's defense of Sun Quan. Zhang Liaole of Weizhen Xiaoyaojin entered Li Dian, relying on the jiancheng city of Hefei that Liu Fu had built with his bare hands in the last eight years of his life.
