For a thousand years, Cao Cao was the treacherous spokesman of the Three Kingdoms era, and the object of many people's scolding when they mentioned the Three Kingdoms.
However, no matter how badly the posterity scolds, it is better to listen to the insults of the contemporaries. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was really such a person who scolded Cao Cao's dog bloodily, so that those who black Cao Cao could find a sense of pleasure that spanned thousands of years but could fight with the enemy. This man is You Heng.
In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", You Heng's appearance can be described as a beautiful scenery, recommended by the great talent Kong Rong. But in fact, the real you balance in history appeared in a very funny and even strange way.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > first glimpse of the career</h1>
In the early years of Jian'an, as Emperor Xian of Han was welcomed to XuDu, the young You Heng also came to a new political center to seek the development of his career. As soon as he arrived in Yingchuan, he couldn't help but make a popular business card (called "thorn" at the time) and wanted to find a dignitary to deliver. However, You weigh yourself and be proud of your talents, and no one pays attention to them. So he kept the business card in his arms until the words on the business card were so worn out that he couldn't see clearly, and he never took it out once.
After arriving in Xu Du, he was persuaded to go to Chen Qun or Sima Lang (Sima Yi's eldest brother) to introduce himself. These two men were representatives of the young talents of the Shi clan at that time, and later played an important role in the road to the founding of cao wei. However, You Heng didn't look at these two people at all, and even sarcastically said, "How can I run to such a person like a butcher and a liquor seller!" ”
The man asked again, "Then what do you think of Xun Yu and Zhao Zhichang?" ”
You Heng sneered, "Xun Yu's face is just right for mourning; Zhao Zhi's long belly, I'm afraid it can only be used to supervise the kitchen!" Zhao Zhichang's deeds are unknown in later generations, but Xun Yu can be said to be the most personable and talented at that time, but he was said to be useless by You Heng.
The person who made the suggestion may find it boring to ask for himself, or think that You Heng's decaying wood cannot be carved, and he did not continue to inquire, leaving You Heng alone, alone in the corner.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > highly recommended</h1>
In fact, there are also people in Your Heng's eyes who can afford it, but such people are indeed rare, and there are only two in the whole world, that is, Kong Rong and Yang Xiu. The way he looked at these two people seemed very childish today, that is, they called them sons, and they were also arranged in size: the eldest son Kong Rong, the younger son Yang Xiu—it still sounded like cursing. In reality, however, Kong Rong was a full 20 years older than him.
Kong Rong did not seem to hate You Heng because of this, but saw You Heng's great talent at a glance and praised him. In 196 AD, Kong Rong wrote a table article recommending You Heng to the imperial court. Even comparing Manchu Wenwu to a bird of prey, even if hundreds of them are added together, it is not as good as You Heng's osprey.
Kong Rong also knew that the imperial court at that time was already under Cao Cao's control. Therefore, he recommended Cai Zi You Heng to Cao Cao alone, but he never expected that this recommendation set off a huge wave.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > humiliate Cao Cao</h1>
Cao Cao was at a critical juncture in recruiting talents, so he gladly agreed to use You Heng. Kong Rong went to You Heng with great interest and told him the good news. Unexpectedly, instead of being happy, You Heng refused to go to see Cao Cao on the grounds that he was mad. According to You Heng's consistent style, while refusing, he would not stop abusing Cao Cao without giving full play to his talents.
As a notoriously violent temper, Cao Cao resisted the urge to kill, but chose to humiliate You Heng. He heard that You Heng was good at drumming, so he took it to heart. After a few days, Cao Cao held a big party and invited many people to participate. The more people there were, the happier Cao Cao became, and he thought that his little tricks could work better.
After three rounds of drinking, Cao Cao asked You Heng to beat the drum for everyone and began his own performance.
As soon as You Heng picked up the drumstick, the officials who looked at You Heng unfavorably shouted, "Do you understand the rules?" How can drumming not be replaced with drumming-specific clothing! "Scolding is scolding, and they don't prepare a dressing room for You Heng. Only then did the people understand that if You Heng did not change, he would appear to have no understanding of the rules and swept away everyone's happiness; if You Heng really changed his clothes, then in full view of everyone, he would naturally blush with shame.
Who is You Heng, and who will he be afraid of? Only to see that he had no shame on his face, and very calmly took off his clothes. Originally, Cao Cao wanted to see his shame and embarrassment, but his hopes were completely disappointed. In this way, everyone also understood that Cao Cao was deliberately going through with You Heng, but it seemed that Cao Cao was small-minded.
After a while, Cao Cao himself couldn't hold back, smiled and made up for himself, and said, "I originally wanted to humiliate You, but I didn't expect to be humiliated by him, how embarrassing." ”
After the banquet, even Kong Rong, who had never looked down on Cao Cao, felt that You Heng was a bit excessive, and asked him: "Hello and evil are also a gentleman, is it appropriate to do this?" Cao Mengde is very sincere in wanting to recruit talents, and he also appreciates you very much, so isn't it also a beautiful thing for you to take this opportunity to show your grand plans? ”
After repeated persuasion for half a day, Kong Rong finally saw that You Heng was relieved, so he went to Cao Cao to say good things, hoping that Cao Cao would not be blamed in the past and appoint You Heng.
Cao Cao was also very happy, and immediately prepared to meet You Heng with great fanfare, and told the gatekeeper that when You Heng came, he would take the green light all the way and bring it directly to him.
The gatekeeper knew how difficult it was for Cao Cao to be after that, so he also solemnly waited for You Heng. I didn't expect You Heng to come, how to invite him not to go in, but he sat down by himself, holding the cane in his hand, while tapping the ground while cursing Cao Cao, scolding very rhythmically. The guards couldn't stop them, so they had to ask someone to go in and report it.
Cao Cao, who was originally very excited, was furious when he heard this, and called Kong Rong to scold: "I kill You Heng as simple as killing a mouse, but I just see that he has talent, and I don't want people to think that I am careful." My temple here is too small to tolerate this big Buddha, let him go to Liu Biao to develop it. ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="04" > serve Liu Table</h1>
People who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms know that Liu Biao is a person with a relatively narrow heart, but on the surface he is very open-minded. Therefore, giving You Heng to Liu Biao will not appear to be careful. He also calculated that You Heng would definitely scold Liu Biao, and sooner or later he would be worn by Liu Biao in small shoes, which was really a double eagle with one stone, and the old traitor was a giant.
When You Heng left, Cao Cao also specially arranged for someone to send him off. I don't know whether it was Cao Cao's intention or these people, they decided to turn a blind eye to You Heng, when You Heng came, these people were like an outing, talking and laughing, lying down and sitting, just as You Heng did not exist.
When You saw this, you sat on the ground and cried.
The crowd thought they had a plan, and pretended to care about You Heng, asking him, "Yo, young man, what is so sad?" ”
Unexpectedly, You Heng once again played his scolding skills, crying and saying, "These sitting people are all graves, and those lying down are corpses, can I sit in the grave circle without crying!" While saying, he cried and got up to leave, but he sneered in his heart, leaving the people behind him to jump straight to their feet.
Sure enough, after You Heng's arrival, Liu Biao was very welcome, and everyone in Jingzhou had great respect for him. Articles, speeches, and tables published in ordinary times are all approved and approved by You Heng. There was even a time when Liu Biao and many literati in Jingzhou jointly drafted a table text, thinking that it was well written. As a result, after You Heng saw it, he immediately tore it to pieces. Before Liu Biao and the others could recover from their consternation, You Heng's article was written, and it was far better than the article that they all cooperated with, so everyone admired him even more.
However, You Heng's good temper did not last long, and soon began to scold Liu Biao again. Liu Biao's heart and eyes were much smaller than Cao Cao's, and his hands were darker. Instead of taking matters into his own hands, he sent You Heng to his general Huang Zu. He knew that Huang Zu was a big old man, so he wouldn't care about what was not famous.
After coming to Huang Zu's tent, You Heng made a good friend, that is, Huang Zu's son Huang She.
However, even if he learns to be rich in five cars, he still does not know much about an idiom, which is called Aiwu and Wu. Don't say Wu, You Heng didn't even pay attention to Huang Zhao's father. Once, Huang Zu hosted a banquet on the ship. After three rounds of drinking, You Heng began to scold Huang Zu.
Huang Zu only knew how to lead soldiers to fight in his life, understood the pragmatic truth, and never cared about those face-to-face things. In a fit of rage, he ordered someone to cut you down. Even the manager was scolded, which shows that the rest of his subordinates have been scolded by You Heng more than once or twice. They already harbored a grudge, so they opened a green channel for this decapitation mission, and casually pulled you to a place and slashed You Heng. The poor generation of talents died inexplicably. Huang Zu's son Huang She, heard that You Heng had provoked his father, and he came to intercede before he could put on his shoes, but he was still one step too late.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="05" > died unjustly? </h1>
Since ancient times, in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, people have been doubly sympathetic to You Heng, who dared to scold Cao Cao in person, believing that You Heng died too unjustly.
It is true that in our society of the rule of law, it is difficult to understand that a person is killed just because of cursing. However, in ancient times, the society ruled by man was so casual, especially in the chaotic era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
But if you're in fellowship with someone like that, you won't feel comfortable either. Think about it, even a person with great grace and talent like Xun Yu has been scolded, how many people under the sky are not scolded by him? Xiaosheng asked himself if he had no ability, if he knew You Heng, he would definitely be scolded to the point of bloodshed, and he couldn't help but want to cut him.
Counting the people who have been scolded by You Heng, we simply can't find any exact same characteristics, and their characteristics will also be reflected in Yang Xiu and Kong Rong. It can be seen from this that You have no screening and principles for scolding people, almost to see who scolds whom. Therefore, although it is indeed a pity to be killed, You Heng's fate is completely self-inflicted. Even if his IQ is high, it can't make up for his unlimited emotional intelligence. Such a person, even in today's rule of law society, although he will not be killed, will not have any good results.
