Cao Cao has many elite soldiers. What is the reason for choosing Dian Chu as a bodyguard?

Anyone who has read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms knows that Cao Cao has two top bodyguards, the tiger idiot Chu Xu and Gu Lai Dian Wei. Then why did Cao Cao, a strong soldier under his command, choose them as bodyguards?

This is because they are natural bodyguards, not only in the history of the Three Kingdoms, but also in the whole ancient history.

Why do you say that? It's because apart from infinite strength and high strength of force, they also have the qualities that a bodyguard should have.

First of all, be loyal to your duties.

Why does Cao Cao like Dian Wei and Chu Xu so much? Because they are only loyal to their duty-to protect their master. I don't care about anything else.

For Cao Cao's orders, Dian Wei always doesn't ask why, as long as he abides by them, as long as he protects his master, and the rest has nothing to do with himself, so Cao Cao likes to take Dian Wei with him everywhere and keep him at the door. Because he knew that Dian Wei would pretend not to know even if he knew, and no one could command him except himself.

Chu Xu only carried out Cao Cao's orders. As the most famous imperial clan in Cao Shi, Coss was defeated by Chu Xu. However, when he came back from Jingzhou to visit Cao Cao, he invited Chu Xu to visit Piandian because Cao Cao had not yet come out of the mountain, but he was held back by Chu Xu's "Wang Wei is about to come out of the mountain". After that, he turned and waited for Cao Cao in the temple.

Second, the background is innocent.

Cao Cao's paranoia is probably the most well-known among kings of past dynasties, so it is not easy to find a person who can make Cao Cao feel at ease and entrust him with his life. Relying only on force is also a time bomb for people with low loyalty. The examples of Dong Zhuo and the bodyguard Lu Bu are vivid, so how to choose a bodyguard is also a matter that must be cautious.

The background of Dian Wei and Chu Xu is very innocent. Dian Wei is a ranger, wandering outside because of a man who is keen on killing people, and then turned to Xia Houdun's account. After the battle of Puyang, he entered Cao Cao's field of vision because of his bravery, and was finally accepted as a bodyguard.

Dian Wei's experience has no reputation stain, and he also went to the United States to kill and wander for his friends. Cao Cao naturally likes this kind of hero who is innocent and chivalrous.

Chu Xu is the son of a peasant family, and his father is also a small landowner. Chu Xu has great strength since he was a child, and he has no bad experience. It can be said that he is a well-established and bright family, and Cao Cao can use it with confidence.

Third, the reaction is sensitive.

Dian Wei had the experience of "jumping the stream and chasing the tiger" when wandering around killing people, which not only showed that he was powerful, but also showed that he responded well. People who can play hide-and-seek with the tiger king of the forest must have higher observation and reaction ability than ordinary people.

Although Chu Xu is simple and straightforward, he is called a tiger fool, but he is very cautious. In the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao bribed Xu and others to kill Cao Cao, but he dared not act rashly because he often accompanied Cao Cao. I didn't intend to start work until Chu Xu had a rest after work. As a result, when Chu Xu went back, he felt something was wrong. He immediately went back and met Xu He and others who wanted to assassinate him, beheaded them and protected Cao Cao. It can be seen that its response is sensitive.

Fourth, I am not afraid of death.

As a bodyguard, the most important thing is to dare to fight to the death and solve the dilemma when the owner is in danger.

Cao Cao defeated Zhang Xiu in the Battle of Wancheng, so Zhang Xiu took advantage of the situation to defect. Cao Cao was overjoyed by his victory and brought Zhang Xiu's aunt into the room defenseless. Zhang Xiu always respected his late uncle Zhang Ji as his father, so Cao Cao's behavior greatly insulted Zhang Xiu, so he took the opportunity to create a crisis.

In this rebellion, in order to protect Cao Cao, Dian Wei took his own body as the door when the double halberd was stolen, and he had no armor on him, but he resisted the impact of Xiliang cavalry in Yingkou, Cao Jun. Finally, he bravely resisted Zhang Xiu with artificial weapons, which won valuable time for Cao Cao's escape. Dian Wei's death has always been everyone's regret. A generation of brave soldiers died forever without fully demonstrating their talents.

Chu Xu is more famous for his strong fear of death, but perhaps everyone can't think of it. When it comes to Chu Xu, the first thing that comes to mind is nudity. Chu Xu always likes to take off his clothes at critical moments. In fact, this understanding is not very accurate. He just took off his heavy armor. Without the shackles of armor, it will be more open and lasting.

But at the same time, it also means that there is no armor to protect yourself. This is still my choice. Then it's time to work hard. Playing without armor and playing with armor, the danger rises linearly. It was this battle with his life that enabled him to successfully repel Ma Chao and protect Cao Cao.

It is precisely because of their qualities that they have been recognized by the master Cao Cao and respected by future generations because of their loyalty and courage.
