Zhong You was one of the underestimated historical figures in the Three Kingdoms period. He can be literate and martial, and Cao Cao pacified Lu Bu, Yuan Shu, Liu Bei, Zhang Xiu and other heroes in the Central Plains, including the confrontation with Yuan Shao later. Zhong You was always ordered to guard Guanzhong, and the threat from Guanzhong mainly came from Kansai, which was actually bandits, headed by Marten, Han Sui, Yang Qiu, Song Jian and others. In fact, there should be greater threats to Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu, Liu Zhang is weak, and Zhang Lu is pro-Cao. Zhong You's greatest contribution was to persuade Marten to join ICY during the battle of Guandu. Marten himself came to Chang 'an to be an official, and Ma Chao sent troops to attack Guo Yuan under Gao Qian, which is clearly recorded in the reflection. Later, Ma Chao and Han Sui continued their insurrection in the West, and Marten was killed.
After Cao Cao pacified the north, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Jaw and Du Xi were left to guard Hanzhong, Cao Hong to guard Chang 'an, and Zhong You was transferred back to Beijing to be the three officials. Because the Han Emperor Xuchang and Luoyang were staying at that time, and Cao Cao was generally in Yecheng, so Zhong You was not sure which of the three Beijing. Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty, and Zhong You was called "these three officials are great men of one generation, and it is almost impossible for future generations to continue!" It can be seen that Zhong You's political ability is also quite strong. Cao Pi has been in office for 8 years, and the internal stability is relatively stable, which is not unrelated to the efforts of Zhong You, Wang Lang and Hua Xin.
What made Zhong You famous was his calligraphy and his son ...
