After Xun Yu's recommendation, it became Cao Jun's sacrificial wine. The Battle of Guandu was imminent, and he planned a strategy for Cao Cao to pacify the north, which greatly increased the confidence of Cao's army. After the victory of Guandu, he accurately judged that Liu Biao's threat was just a bluff.

However, in the same year, he died young in Yizhou at the age of 38.

Pang Tong, known as the phoenix, has a reputation on par with Zhuge Liang. After the Battle of Chibi, he was exiled to Jiangdong, and was introduced to Zhou Yu by Lu Su, and skillfully used a series of tricks to make great contributions to Zhou Yu's fire attack strategy. After Zhou Yu passed away, Zhuge Liang met Pang Tong while mourning. Lu Su also recommended him to Sun Quan, but because Pang Tong was mediocre and did not care about Sun Quan, he was not hired. So, he turned to Liu Bei, who was also despised because of his appearance, and was only appointed as a small county commander.
It wasn't until Zhang Fei discovered his talent that he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general of the deputy military division and fought side by side with Zhuge Liang. When attacking Shudi, he outwitted Yang Huai and Gao Pei, and occupied Fushui Pass, but he was ambushed in Luofengpo and died bravely.

He had made many far-sighted suggestions to Yuan Shao, such as welcoming the Son of Heaven and opposing the division of the princes, but Yuan Shao turned a deaf ear and even weakened his military power.
In the Battle of Guandu, Frustration's strategy was once again ignored, and until he was captured, he remained loyal and refused to surrender. Fu Zhu's intelligence was on par with Cao Cao's top strategists, but it was a pity that Yuan Shao's stubbornness and short-sightedness failed to make full use of Fu Zhu's talent. What happened to him can't help but make people feel sorry, if Yuan Shao could follow his advice, the outcome of the Battle of Guandu might be completely different.

However, his unique survival wisdom has allowed him to gain a firm foothold in the torrent of history. He did not choose to fight for the world head-on, but skillfully stole the authority of the Cao family.
He was well versed in the art of waiting, and waited for the right time, until Cao Cao, Cao Pi and other heroes passed away one after another, and he gradually revealed his ambitions. Although he had more troops and resources in the contest with Zhuge Liang, he was always pinned down by the other party. This is Sima Yi, a figure who has left a deep imprint in the long river of history.

Strategically, he outlined a grand blueprint for Cao Cao to unify the north, and tactically, whether it was to stabilize the base area, welcome the Son of Heaven to order the princes, or to contain Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, he showed his resourcefulness.
In addition, he also had a discerning eye for people and introduced many talents to Cao Cao. In the era of the heroes, Xun Yu's role cannot be ignored. Without his strategic planning, Cao Wei's rise might have come to naught. He stood side by side with Zhuge Liang and was one of the top strategists during the Three Kingdoms period.
