Why did Cao Cao, the most inseparable counselor in his life, finally break up with Cao Cao?

Yu Xun, whose real name is Wen Ruo, was born in Xuchang, Henan Province today. He was born in A.D. 163 and died in A.D. 2 12. Some people say that he died of illness, while others say that Cao Cao gave him a gift. In short, the cause of death is unknown.

Yu Xun was one of the most outstanding politicians and strategists in the Three Kingdoms period, and was Cao Cao's right-hand man and chief counselor. His role to Cao Cao is no less than Zhuge Liang's role to Liu Bei. Zhuge Liang made a three-point strategy for Liu Bei, while Yu Xun helped Cao Cao defeat Yuan Shao and unified the northern part of China.

Born in a noble family, Wang Zuo's only grandfather Xun Shu, whose real name is Ji He, has eight sons, who are called "Xun's Eight Dragons", which is even more famous than Sima Jia's "Sima Ba Da". Yu Xun's father Xun Yu is one of the Eight Dragons.

In the Han dynasty, a person's origin was very important. Yuan Shao IV was a man, and Yu Xun was born in Yingchuan family, no worse than Yuan Shao. The Xun family was very powerful at that time.

When Xun was young, He Qing of Nanyang was amazed when he saw him one day, saying that he was a "genius of Wang Zuo", so Yu Xun played his own personal card. There is no shortage of talents in the three countries, but it takes some effort to make others appreciate themselves. For example, Zhuge Liang devoted himself to cultivating Long Mu, known as Wolong, and compared himself with Guan Zhong and Le Yi to attract Liu Bei to visit the shanzhai.

Yu Xun became famous at a young age, so naturally someone came to him for help. Han Fu, the animal husbandry county of Jizhou, sent a rider to pick him up, so Yu Xun moved his family to Jizhou. Unfortunately, when Yu Xun arrived, Jizhou had become Yuan Shao's territory. Yuan Shao also appreciates Yu Xun's talent and regards him as a distinguished guest, but Yu Xun despises Yuan Shao.

Good birds choose wood, good ministers choose their masters, and Cao Cao is the person Yu Xun likes. At that time, Cao Cao was a general of Fenwu, and Yu Xun went to Cao Cao. Cao Cao happily said to others: This is my Zhang Zifang! Who's Zhang Zifang? Sean was the first counselor of Liu Bang and the first hero of the founding of the Han Dynasty, which shows that Cao Cao attached great importance to Xun.

It is said that Zhou Yu is the most attractive figure in the Three Kingdoms. In fact, compared with Zhou Yu, Yu Xun's demeanor is not inferior. Yu Xun is not only handsome, but also personable and likes incense. Over time, he has a fragrance that will last for a long time.

"Xiangyang Ji" records: "Xun went to someone else and sat there for three days." Therefore, Yu Xun is also known as "Liu Xiang Xun Ling", and even "Ling Xiangjun" once became synonymous with handsome men. However, Yu Xun is by no means a figurehead. In his life, from the beginning of his debut, it can be said that it is an exhaustive strategy, which is much worse than the so-called genius Guo Jia.

It can be said that Guo Jia and Yu Xun are only students majoring in strategy. In fact, Guo Jia was indeed a student of Yu Xun, and it was Yu Xun's recommendation that made Guo Jiacai join Cao Cao's counselor camp.

In the first year of Yong-Han Dynasty (A.D. 189), Yu Xun, 26, offered a filial piety and bowed to the palace guard order. Because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, he abandoned his official position and returned home. Yu Xun said to his fellow villagers: Yingchuan has experienced four wars and the world has changed. It is the first place affected by the disaster. You'd better leave as soon as possible

Many people didn't listen to Yu Xun, but Yu Xun and his family left Yingchuan for Jizhou. Later, as expected, Dong Zhuo sent generals to Kanto, arrived in Yingchuan and Chenliu, and most of the villagers who stayed were killed.

The second prediction is that Yu Xun is in Jizhou. Although Yuan Shao tried his best to win over, he thought it was difficult for Yuan Shao to achieve great things, so he refused to work for Yuan Shao. At that time, Xun Yu's younger brother, Xin Ping and Guo Tu from the same county all stayed for Yuan Shao's use. They don't understand why Yu Xun is so stubborn, and Yuan Shao, the most powerful, went to Cao Cao, who has no strength.

Later, in the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in one fell swoop and became the most powerful man in northern China. Xun Ling's judgment is indeed correct. Yuan Shao died of illness soon after he fell, and those who stayed to work were also in trouble.

In addition to the above two predictions, Yu Xun also predicted the demise of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. Like a wizard, he saw the general trend of the world at the end of the Han Dynasty. Yu Xun should be good at predicting the outcome of the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and the outcome of Yuan Shao and others.

After assisting Cao Cao and dominating Yu Xun in the north, he did two great things for him. The first thing is to meet the son of heaven. We all know that Cao Cao "held the emperor to make the princes". The son of heaven is under his own control, and all the princes in the world have to listen to themselves. Who gave him the idea? Yu Xun.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao also wanted to cater to the emperor, but all the ministers thought that the plaque of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty was useless. However, Yu Xun doesn't think so. At the beginning, Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang mourned for Yidi, so the world turned to the heart and defeated Xiang Yu, who killed Yidi and made him lose his heart. Now, the son of heaven is in trouble. If Cao Cao Can meets the son of heaven, those who are still loyal to the Han family will definitely come to Cao Cao.

In this way, Cao Cao sent troops to Luoyang and received Emperor Han Xian from Xudu. Facts have proved that Yu Xun, as the chief counselor, made an extremely shrewd move for Cao Cao. Later, in the name of the son of heaven, Cao Cao crusaded against whoever he wanted and appointed whoever he wanted to be an official. He gained a firm foothold in politics and soon expanded his influence, claiming to be Yuan Shao's biggest rival in the north.

The second important thing that Yu Xun did for Cao Cao was to strengthen Cao Cao's confidence, help him win the battle of Guandu, defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop and unify northern China. Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, Lu Bu and Zhang Xiu, pacified Xuzhou, and almost all of the south bank of the Yellow River became Cao Cao's territory. On the other side of the river, it is Yuan Shao's territory.

When Cao Cao was on the Western Expedition, Yuan Shao was not idle. Gongsun Zan was annexed, and four states were occupied, with 100,000 soldiers. In terms of strength, Cao Cao can't compare with Yuan Shao. However, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Sooner or later, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will fight a war, and the most famous battle of Guandu in the history of the Three Kingdoms begins.

Cao Cao's heart is empty. Can he beat Yuan Shao? Cao Cao had no idea, and the following civil servants and military commanders also argued endlessly. At this time, Yu Xun stood up and put forward Cao Cao VS Yuan Shao's theory of "four wins and four losses" and gave Cao Cao a shot in the arm.

What are the "four wins and four losses"? There is a clear record in the "Three Kingdoms", that is to say, Yuan Shao is too suspicious, Cao Cao is not suspicious of employing people, and he is superior to Yuan Shao in manners; Yuan Shao hesitated and broke up with Cao, which one was better than Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao's statutes are unknown, Cao Cao's rewards and punishments are clear, and he is superior to Yuan Shao militarily; Yuan Shao is good-looking, seeking fame and profit, and Cao Cao is frank and has no shelf, which is superior to Yuan Shao in virtue. Moreover, Cao Cao assisted the emperor in conquering injustice, and the world obeyed. Under such circumstances, can he still beat Yuan Shao?

As Yu Xun expected, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao after the battle of Guandu. And before that, Yu Xun made a prediction about the fate of Yuan Shao's soldiers, which was generally good. In A Record of Yu Xun, Yu Xun asserts:

Although there are many soldiers, the law is incomplete. Tian Fenggang was guilty, but Xu You died of greed. Shen Pei is an expert. He has no plan and uses it for his own use. The two men were kept in the dark. If the husband's family breaks the law, it will change. Yan Liang and Wen Chou are brave enough to fight the first world war. What was the result? Cao Cao went out to kill Chunyu Qiong, the grain delivery officer of Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was defeated. Shen Pei and Xu You clashed, so they found the opportunity to arrest Xu You's family. In a rage, Xu You went to Cao Cao and leaked military secrets to let Cao Cao burn the grain and grass in Yuan Shaowu's nest. Yan Liang and Wen Chou were killed when they got cold feet, and Tian Feng was imprisoned by Yuan Shao for changing his face. Everyone's fate lies in Xun's expectation.

In the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's main force. Soon Yuan Shao died of illness, and the third son was defeated by Cao Cao, which laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify the north. What about Yu Xun? So he is highly valued by Cao Cao. In the eighth year of Jian 'an, in 203 AD, Cao Cao went to the table and was named Long Live Pavilion Hou. Soon, Cao Cao married his daughter Princess Anyang to Yu Xun's son and became in-laws. Yu Xun and his nephew Xun You, living at home and abroad, have a prominent position.

Cao Cao's suspicion and mysterious physical death are no matter how good the monarch and his subjects are, there will be quarrels one day. Crucially, Yu Xun denied that Cao Cao was his own monarch. He feels loyal to the orthodox ideas of the Han nationality. Cao Cao is a general and Yu Xun is a minister. Yu Xun thinks that he and Cao Cao are officials of a dynasty. They are superiors and subordinates, not princes and ministers.

This is a very serious problem, because of the title of monarch and minister, Cao Cao began to alienate himself from Xun. Although Cao Cao conquered outside, Yu Xun dispatched, and the two continued to cooperate, but since the battle of Guandu, Yu Xun basically did not give Cao Cao any major advice. Or Yu Xun said that Cao Cao did not adopt it.

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, in 204 AD, in the ninth year of Jian 'an, it was suggested to Cao Cao that it was appropriate to restore ancient ways to Kyushu, and then a large number of people in Jizhou were convinced by the world. But Yu Xun opposed it. Although Cao Cao followed Yu Xun's advice, it became the fuse of discord between the two. Why did Cao Cao restore the ancient Kyushu system? In order to show his achievements in reigning over the world and replace the Han family, this practice was stopped.

If it is only a small friction to restore the Kyushu system, in the seventeenth year of Jian 'an, in 2 12 AD, Cao Cao was opposed to the closure of Jiuxi, which completely annoyed Cao Cao. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao's personal achievements surpassed those of anyone in the same period. In order to show his achievements, Cao Cao wanted to name himself lord protector and nine tin seals.

What does Jiuxin mean? It is the emperor's highest standard of courtesy to ministers, above one person and above ten thousand people. Yu Xun believes: "This Xingyi soldier is loyal and keeps the concession; Gentleman's love can't be physical. " Cao Cao was very angry. At that time, Sun Quan was conquered, so he sent Yu Xun, who was in his fifties, to the front to admire the army.

From Yu Xun's departure from Yuan Shao to Cao Cao in A.D. 19 1 year to Jian 'an in A.D. 2 12 for seventeen years, in the past twenty-one years, Cao Cao and Yu Xun, the golden partners, have always been the masters of Cao Cao Yu, and Cao Cao has been exploring the west for Yu Xun to organize logistics and transport grain in the rear area. The unusual practice of sending Yu Xun to the front to join the army declared the break between Cao Cao and Yu Xun.

History of the Three Kingdoms: Sun Quan was recruited and invited to join the army. Because he needs to stay, he will serve Dr. Guanglu in middle school and participate in the military affairs of the prime minister. Mao Dajun arrived at your deficiency, leaving Shouchun to recuperate and worry about it. He is fifty years old. According to this statement, Yu Xun died of illness. However, Pei Songzhi's "Three Kingdoms" thinks that Yu Xun was executed by Cao Cao. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms also said that Cao Cao had the intention of killing Yu Xun and ordered Yu Xun to go with him. Yu Xun was ill in Shouchun, and Cao Cao ordered a box to be sent. Yu Xun opened it, it was empty. He understood Cao Cao's mind and died by taking poison. His son Xun Yun wrote a letter of condolence to Cao Cao. Cao Cao regretted it very much, ordered a rebury and said that he would respect Hou.

Why did Yu Xun object to Cao Cao's sealing of Nine Tin and holding the Emperor to make the princes? Because Yu Xun was born in a scholar-bureaucrat family in Yingchuan, he valued Zhong Jun more than life. He believed that he was loyal to the Han Dynasty and had the responsibility to stop Cao Cao from doing things that were detrimental to the dignity of the Han Dynasty. Why did Cao Cao kill Yu Xun? It's not because a cunning rabbit dies and a running dog cooks, but because their world views are completely different and there are irreconcilable contradictions.

Although it is debatable whether Yu Xun was killed by Cao Cao, "I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of it". If Cao Cao had not sent Yu Xun to Shouchun, Yu Xun would not have died at the age of 50. The year after Yu Xun's death, Cao named Cao Jin Wang Wei, but he still failed to stop Cao Cao.
