The world's impression of Jia Xu is mostly a trickster and strategist, but in fact this is very one-sided, Jia Xu is actually a master of the right and strange combinations, and his style of using tactics in different periods is very different. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), Jia Xu returned to Cao Cao as the boundary. In the early stage, Jia Xu mainly appeared as a treacherous strategist, united with Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to break through Chang'an, once again cholera the world, and helped Zhang Xiu resist Cao Cao in Wancheng, full of scheming. In the later period, Jia Xu assisted Cao Cao and Cao Pi in conquering the world, and although most of the strategies he proposed hit the core and were upright, they were rarely adopted.

【The Sophistry of Jia Xu】

Jia Xu was not famous when he was young, but Yan Zhong, a famous scholar at that time, thought he was different, saying that he had the wisdom of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. In later generations, Jia Xu had the nickname of "Poisoner", which was mainly related to some of Jia Xu's experiences before he defected to Cao Cao.

Earlier, Jia Xu once returned to his hometown due to illness, and was captured along with dozens of rebellious Di people, but only Jia Xu's grandson, who claimed to be Duan Gong (Duan Cheng), escaped, and the others were killed.

After Dong Zhuo was destroyed, his son-in-law Niu Fu also died quickly, the Xiliang army was leaderless and close to disbanding, in the face of the pressure of Wang Yun and others, Li Dao and Guo Yan, these Xiliang military captains, were originally preparing to disband the troops and flee back to their hometown, but Jia Xu stood up and called on everyone to resist to the end, and serve the country to conquer the world, and then Li Dao and others were persuaded, and everyone vigorously reversed, overturned Xu Rong and Wang Yun, repelled Lu Bu, recaptured Chang'an, and avenged Dong Zhuo.

Not to mention that the Son of Heaven and the imperial court fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army again, and Chang'an City was also plundered by Li Dao and other soldiers, and more than 10,000 people died, and corpses were piled up. Taichang Seed Buddha, Dahonglu Zhou Huan, Chengmen Captain Cui Lie, Yueqi Captain Wang Qi, Sili Captain Huang Wan, Left Fengyi Song Yi, Right Fufeng Wang Hong and Situ Wang Yun were all killed by Li Dao and others, and it was bloody and bloody for a while. Moreover, Li Dao and Guo Yan and others were more unscrupulous than Dong Zhuo, and caused serious damage to Chang'an and Guanzhong in the future, and the origin of these things can be attributed to Jia Xu.

Later, Tao Qian and others organized a fight against Li Lianjun led by Zhu Jun, and Li Dao and others adopted the strategy of Taiwei Zhou Zhong and Shangshu Jia Xu, and sent people to use the edict of the Son of Heaven to recruit Zhu Jun into the court, and easily solved the second Kwantung Alliance.

When Cao Cao first attacked Wancheng, there was also Jia Xu's shadow behind his fiasco, according to the "Book of Wu", when Zhang Xiu was preparing to rebel, he adopted Jia Xu's strategy. When Cao Cao personally crusaded against Zhang Xiu for the third time, because he heard that Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao to attack Xuchang and retreated, Zhang Xiu was ready to chase at first, Jia Xu advised, but Zhang Xiu did not listen, and the result was a failure. Jia Xu's proposal is quite classic in later generations, which shows his control over the strength and situation of the two sides.

After that, Jia Xu tried his best to dissuade the alliance between Zhang Xiu and Yuan Shao, and also facilitated the surrender of Zhang Xiu, helped Cao Cao solve the hidden danger of Wancheng before the decisive battle with Yuan Shao, and also obtained the surrender of Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu.

Judging from these things, Jia Xu was not wronged at all when he got the title of "poisoner" in later generations, he himself was completely self-centered in many cases, first asked to take care of himself, and was quite reckless. When he was kidnapped by the Di people, Jia Xu escaped by himself, and he didn't care about the others; persuaded Li Wei and others to rebel, also because Jia Xu was also a lieutenant colonel of the Xiliang Army at that time, and they suffered the same loss, and after taking Chang'an, Jia Xu began to slowly draw a line with these former colleagues, not to hold military power, not to touch real power, and to be close to the emperor; In the matter of Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu persuaded Zhang Xiu to surrender, but in fact, he himself got the greatest benefit, was named the Marquis of Ting, moved to Jizhou Mu, and became an example of persuasion of Jingzhou civil and military people, and later Zhang Xiu's family was exterminated, when Cao Ang, Dian Wei and others died in Huangquan, even if Cao Cao can forget, others can not forget.

It can be said that before Jia Xu surrendered to Cao, he had already achieved great success in sophistry.

【Jia Xu of the Royal Road】

After Jia Xu surrendered to Cao, his style of using tricks has changed a lot compared with the previous period, and the conspiracy and intrigue are almost gone, but he prefers to use upright and upright schemes, at this time Jia Xu can no longer be called a "poisoner", but is quite close to Xun Yu, Zhuge Liang and others.

During the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao asked Jia Xu for advice, and Jia Xu's answer was very to the point, he said: "Gongming wins Shao, Yong wins Shao, employs people to win Shao, and decisive wins Shao, there are these four victories and half a year is uncertain, but Gu Wanquan is also so." The opportunity must be decided, and it must be determined in a moment. It directly shows that Cao Cao wants to defeat Yuan Shao can not be too shrunk, but to decisively seize the opportunity, and then Xu Yu offered a plan, Jia Xu and Xun You persuaded Cao Cao to follow, and finally defeated Yuan Shao.

When Cao Cao pacified Jingzhou, Jia Xu also followed him to the south, when Cao Cao wanted to crusade against Sun Quan, Jia Xu advised Cao Cao to stabilize Jingzhou first, and then use power to suppress people, but unfortunately Cao Cao did not listen, and not only failed to seize Jiangdong, but lost most of the Jingzhou in his hands.

When Cao Pi was competing for the position of the prince, he once sought advice from Jia Xu, and Jia Xu's answer seemed to be nothing outstanding, but it was a foolproof strategy, when he said: "The former general restores virtue, bows to the cause of the plain man, and works diligently day and night, without violating the way of the son." So much for. As Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Pi was already invincible as long as he didn't make mistakes, which Cao Pi couldn't see clearly in the game, but Jia Xu understood it very well outside the bureau.

After Cao Pi ascended to the throne, he wanted to make some merits, and consulted Jia Xu that he should first crusade against the countries of Wu and Shu. Jia Xu said that at that time, the Shu State had Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, there was the danger of mountains and rivers, the Wu State had Sun Quan, and the Yangtze River Tianfang, which were not easy to attack.

Of course, Jia Xu did not use tricks to join Cao Cao, during the Battle of Weinan, Jia Xu once suggested that Cao Cao use a divisive strategy to help Cao Cao easily defeat the combined forces of Han Sui and Ma Chao.

[Jia Xu of the sophistication and the royal way]

Although Jia Xu was considered to be a strategist under Cao Wei in later generations, he still gave people the impression of a sophist strategist, which can not be helped, after all, after Jia Xu defected to Cao Cao, some of the royal suggestions were not adopted, and the strategy in this area is not as effective as a moment, but not as obvious as sophistry.

The reason why Jia Xu mainly relied on sophistic opinions before taking refuge in Cao Cao is also directly related to the fact that his forces are relatively weak, after all, Li Dao, Zhang Xiu and others have no royal way, and they can only use some tricky methods to support the turnaround. When Jia Xu took refuge in Cao Cao, Cao Wei had already become bigger, for Cao Cao and Cao Pi, they used the general power to suppress people against the enemy, and it was better to use upright yang strategy, but unfortunately Cao Cao's father and son were impatient.
