Appearance:

Xun Yu, the word is ruo. Xun Yu was a well-known strategist during the Three Kingdoms period. He was one of Cao Cao's five great strategists in the early stage. (The five strategists are: Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Xun Yu, Xun You, Xu You).

Xun Yu is a native of Yingchuan. Born in a very powerful family at that time - Yingchuan Xun family. At that time, it was the same aristocratic family as the Yuan family of Runan.

Xun Yu was Cao Cao's chief adviser and hero to unify the north. It can be seen that Xun Yu is in Cao Cao's camp, especially Cao Cao's advisers persuade the masses to have high prestige. No one beats.

And Xun Yu did not play for Cao Cao's camp at the earliest. Xun Yu was Yuan Shao's advisor at the earliest.

This starts with Xun Yu's life.

Xun Yu was known as "Wang Zuozhicai" in his early years. This resounding name was first called by He Hao, a famous man in Nanyang.

Xun Yu was a genius when he was young. When He Hao, a famous scholar in Nanyang, saw Xun Yu, he praised Xun Yu for the first time as "Wang Zuozhicai".

This "Wang Zuozhicai" is not in vain.

In the first year of the Yonghan Dynasty (189), Xun Yu was promoted to filial piety and served as the palace guard of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The palace order is actually an official position next to the emperor and in charge of the emperor's pen, grind, paper and other items.

Not long after Xun Yu became the palace guard, Dong Zhuo came at this time.

Dong Zhuo abolished the young emperor Liu Bian, and set up the emperor Liu Xie. And he appointed himself as the prime minister. This is a trick with Cao Cao.

Dong Zhuo's series of policies made Xun Yu very uncomfortable to do this palace order. So, Xun Yu decided to abandon his official position and return to his hometown.

Where did Xun Yu return home? He returned to his hometown of Yingchuan.

Xun Yu returned to Yingchuan. He said to the elders in his hometown: "Yingchuan is the land of four wars, if there is a change in the world, then it will be invaded often, you should leave early, you can't stay here for a long time." "But some returnees are mostly nostalgic for their homeland and reluctant to leave.

It was in such a troubled world that Xun Yu saw that Yingchuan was not something he could leave behind. Because this place is in danger of war at any time.

At this time, Han Fu of Mutong County, Jizhou, after learning about Xun Yu's situation. So he sent someone to pick up Xun Yu, but no one was with him.

At this time, Xun Yu could only lead his clan to move to Jizhou for refuge alone.

After arriving in Jizhou, Jizhou at this time was already Yuan Shao's territory.

Yuan Shao knew that Xun Yu was coming. He treated Xun Yu as a guest.

At this time, Xun Yu's younger brother Xun Kan and the same county Xin Ping and Guo Tu were all serving under Yuan Shao. And Xun Yu is discerning and knowledgeable. Xun Yu thinks that Yuan Shao is a person who can't achieve great things in the end.

In the second year of Chuping (191), Xun Yu left Yuan Shao to join Cao Cao, who was in the "growth period".

Cao Cao was in need of talents at this time, and when he saw Xun Yu coming to defect. I was greatly pleased. And said to Xun Yu: "This is my ovary! So Xun Yu, who just arrived here in Cao Cao. was appointed by Cao Cao as the Sima of the other department. Xun Yu was only twenty-nine years old at this time.

As soon as Xun Yu arrived at Cao Cao, he was appreciated by Cao Cao.

At that time, Dong Zhuo was in the world, Cao Cao asked Yu Xun Yu, Xun Yu said: "Dong Zhuo's brutality has exceeded common sense, and he will definitely die violently due to the disaster, and he will not do anything." ”

Later, Xun Yu gave Cao Cao a lot of strategies and strategies. successively defeated Tao Qian, Zhang Miao, Lu Bu and others. For Cao Cao's future unification of the north, a great cause. has made great contributions.

In the first year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty (196), Cao Cao defeated the Yellow Turban Army. In July, the Chang'an Rebellion had just ended. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty, under the escort of Yang Feng, Dong Cheng and others, returned to Luoyang from Chang'an.

On the issue of whether to build the capital Xu County at the time of the Son of Heaven, there was a dispute among Cao Jun. In the case that the majority disagrees.

Xun Yu gave Cao Cao a reassurance.

Xun Yu's words reached Cao Cao's heart.

So Cao Cao thought that Xun Yu was reasonable. So began the procedure of welcoming the Son of Heaven.

This can be said to be Xun Yu's advice to persuade Cao Cao to serve the Son of Heaven.

Xun Yu rarely went out with the army in the middle and late stages of Cao Cao's army. This is probably "Cao in front, Xun in the back." "For the sake of it.

Many people don't know Xun Yu very well. Why? Because when Cao Cao went out to fight. Only Xun Yu remained. What is Xun Yu doing? He's scheduling and planning. Cao Cao's militaristic affairs.

Whenever Cao Cao went out to fight, he could fight with confidence. Why? Because of Xun Yu's background.

Xun Yu can be said to be Cao Cao's "first strategist" or "chief strategist". Because Xun Yu's wisdom is not only in marching and fighting. And he also has a set of achievements in governing the country.

Moreover, Xun Yu also helped Cao Cao recommend a lot of talents and talents. For example, Sima Yi, the first traitor of Cao Wei later, was personally recommended by Xun Yu.

Don't say whether Xun Yu is right or wrong. Anyway, Xun Yu has a "clairvoyance" that knows people.

And Xun Yu is whenever Cao Cao is undecided. repeatedly offered his good ideas to Cao Cao. And Cao Cao was always satisfied.

For example, before the Guandu War between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao. It was Xun Yu who repeatedly gave good advice to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was relieved to go to war.

At this time, Xun Yu can be said to be "omnipotent".

Which lord doesn't want Xun Yu, an "all-powerful" strategist? Actually, I want both.

And Cao Cao, who got this "almighty" strategist, did not cherish it in the slightest.

This may also be that Cao Cao was old, dizzy, and ignorant of practice at that time.

And the thing that made Cao Cao start to dislike Xun Yu was like this.

In the seventeenth year of Jian'an (212), Cao Cao wanted to enter the Duke of Jueguo. Sealed nine tin (the highest courtesy at that time). At this time, Xun Yu thought: "(Cao Gong) Benxing righteous soldiers to Kuang Dynasty Ningguo, with loyalty and sincerity, the truth of retreat, a gentleman loves others with virtue, it is not appropriate to do so." ”

Just because of Xun Yu's original words. angered Cao Cao. At this time, it also made Cao Cao feel a little annoyed with Xun Yu.

In the same year, Cao Cao began to levy Sun Quan. Let Xun Yu go to the labor army in Qian County. Cao Cao took the opportunity to keep Xun Yu in the army. And sealed Xun Yu as a servant, Guanglu doctor, holding the festival and participating in the prime minister's military.

When Cao Cao's army marched to the wet beard. Xun Yu's old illness relapsed. Due to illness, he stayed in Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui). Soon after, he died of anxiety.

Xun Yu died like this.

There is another theory about Xun Yu's death.

At that time, Cao Cao gave food to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu opened the food container (small box) and saw that there was nothing in the container, so he was forced to take poison and commit suicide. He was fifty years old.

For Xun Yu's death. Historians are still debating it.

But Xun Yu's lifelong contributions. But it has left a piece of spiritual wealth to future generations. Degree of literature
