Yang Xiuzhi's death, wrote a short story in 50 words.

When Cao Cao built the garden, the craftsmen asked Cao Cao to review the design drawings of the garden project before construction. Cao Cao said nothing but wrote a movable type on the garden door. Craftsmen don't understand its meaning, busy bother to ask Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu said: "The Prime Minister thinks the design of the garden gate is too big." The craftsmen modified the plan according to Yang Xiu's suggestion. Cao Cao was very happy to see the transformed garden gate and asked the craftsmen how they knew their ideas. The craftsmen said that thanks to Master Yang's guidance. Cao Cao praised Yang Xiu, but he was jealous of Yang Xiu's talent.

Cao Cao and Yang Xiu rode horses together. When they passed the stone tablet of Cao E, they saw the words yellow silk, young woman, grandson and mortar engraved on it. Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu if he understood the meaning of these eight words. Yang Xiu was about to answer when Cao Cao said, "Don't say it yet, let me think." It was not until he had walked thirty miles that Cao Cao said, "I have understood the meaning of those eight words." Please tell me your understanding and see if our ideas are consistent. " Yang Xiu said: "Yellow silk, colorful silk, and it is absolutely unique; Young women and girls are also better; Grandson is better for his daughter's son; It means to accept and resign. These eight words are "wonderful words" and are a compliment to Cao E's inscription. " Cao Cao exclaimed, "Your talent and wisdom make me three miles away. "

When Cao Cao Ping was in Hanzhong, he was even defeated. I want to join the army, but I'm afraid Ma Chao won't stay. I want to retreat, but I am afraid that the Shu soldiers will laugh at me and hesitate. It happened that Cao Cao entered the chicken soup. He saw the chicken ribs in the bowl and thought nothing. At this time, someone entered the account and asked for a password at night. Cao Cao casually replied: "Chicken ribs!" When Yang Xiu saw that the order was conveyed, he told the accompanying sergeant to pack his bags and prepare for his return trip. The soldiers asked why they learned that Wang Wei was going back to the division. Yang Xiu said: "From tonight's password, we know that Wang Wei's heart of withdrawing troops has been decided. Chicken ribs are tasteless, but it's a pity to discard them. If you can't win today, it's no use quitting. Might as well go back early. Wang Wei's team is here these days. I have to prepare my luggage early so as not to panic. " Cao Cao had long hated Yang Xiucai for being superior to himself, but now he saw Xiu and guessed his own thoughts. He was furious and was convicted of disturbing the morale of the army and killing him. Yang Xiu died at the age of 45.
