People think that Xun has talents since he was a child. After entering Beijing, Dong Zhuo resigned and returned to his hometown to lead the people to Jizhou. Xun thought Yuan Shao could not succeed, so he went to Cao Cao. Cao Cao appreciated him very much, compared him to Sean and named him Sima. Xun _ 29 years old. Cao Cao attacked, Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou, and Xun withdrew tens of thousands of troops from the secretariat of Duke Guo and saved the three cities. Shortly after Lu Bu's failure, Xun persuaded Cao Cao to meet Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, so he was promoted to a middle school as a secretary. Because he recommended actors, Guo Jia and other outstanding talents to Cao Cao many times, Cao Cao respected Xun more and discussed with him every major event.
Yuan Shao was so powerful that Cao Cao hesitated to go to war with him. The theory of "four wins and four losses" inspired Cao Cao to make up his mind to fight Yuan. We can imagine that if Xun _ did not support Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shao and strengthen his confidence, perhaps Cao Cao would never have those great achievements in the future, but would only succumb to Yuan Shao forever, and perhaps there would be no "three pillars" in the future; If there is, it is also a struggle between Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and Cao Cao's share is gone. The victory in Guandu laid the foundation for a series of victories after Cao Cao, and it was also an important turning point in Cao Cao's life, which was largely attributed to Xun.
However, a seemingly ordinary thing changed Xun's life.
In the seventeenth year of Jian 'an, Dong Zhao and others advised Cao Cao to be an official, but Xun _ privately opposed it. Therefore, Cao Cao hated it and took him out when he conquered Sun Quan. Cao Cao sent troops, Xun _ stayed behind, Xun _ was anxious and afraid, and finally died in Shouchun. Give thanks to Qiu after death.
Although he won so much glory after his death, what does it mean for a dead man? Besides, compared with his achievements in life, he deserves it. The most important thing is why Cao Cao was killed by such an extraordinary person.
Is it because he is so powerful that Cao Cao is jealous of him and wants to kill him? No, Cao Cao is a man who is good at reusing talents. It is because of his strength that Cao Cao took a fancy to him, trusted him and valued him. So Cao Cao won't kill him, because he is very capable. The key point is that his suggestion hurt Cao Cao's interests, which is very important to Cao Cao. Otherwise, he wouldn't have killed Xun _, who was loyal to him and brought him many benefits.
In fact, in the final analysis, Xun _' s death was caused by his personality: first of all, he was too straightforward; Secondly, he is too loyal.
Let's start with his honesty. His views on Cao Cao are too straightforward. If he gives advice to Cao Cao, his words can be euphemistic and his attitude can be kind. He may still be alive, or he may not be able to continue to be an official, but at least he left a precious life. As the saying goes, "if you stay in the green hills, you are not afraid of burning without firewood." Life is the most precious and should be cherished.
Besides, his loyalty. He was loyal to the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao. He hoped that the hopeless Han Dynasty would be restored, and that with his or Cao Cao's efforts, the Han Dynasty would be continued and restored. In fact, it's all because he is too stubborn, or because he didn't read too many books and didn't understand the changes of the dynasty. This is a natural phenomenon and a manifestation of social progress. Besides, no one can stop the progress of society. The demise of the Han dynasty is inevitable, and it cannot be changed by your own cleverness and hard work. He was too loyal to his Han Dynasty. If he can give up his loyalty to the Han Dynasty, then no matter what Cao Cao does, his life will be rewritten, and it may be a smooth and enviable life.
He was too loyal to Cao Cao, and expressed his affection for Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Can would change his established strategy. However, Xun _ does not think that people will change. Cao Cao's contribution is getting bigger and bigger and his power is getting bigger and bigger. As his power grows, so does his ambition. For Xun _' s suggestion, Cao Cao not only failed to adopt it, but killed Xun _, who couldn't help it. Alas, poor Xun _!
Personality determines life, it's true!
Xunzi, Yingchuan were the greatest counselors at that time. Later generations often call it "Xun" because its officials worship calligraphy order. In 200 AD, Xun was poisoned by Cao Cao. Was Xun _ really killed by Cao Cao in history? In fact, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms is only to highlight Cao Cao's cruelty and jealousy. Here's the thing. According to legend, in the 13th year of Jian 'an, Cao Cao led hundreds of thousands of troops to conquer Sun Quan, and Xun _ joined the army as a counselor. Unfortunately, Xun _ fell ill because he could not adapt to the climate in Huainan, and was left in Shouchun. Cao Cao continued to March on Ruzhou. During the war, Sun Quan gave Cao Cao two boxes of sweet cakes. Cao Cao took a bite and thought it was delicious, so he wrote "a crispy bite" on the box. Tell people and let us share. After Sun Quan's attack, Cao Cao withdrew. At this time, everyone came to the tent, but only saw the food box on the table. No one understands what this means. Master Yang Xiu opened the box, took a long drink and told everyone the secret. So everyone scrambled to eat all the sweet cakes in the box. When they found another box, they ate the sweet cake in the second box, covered the box and put it back. When Cao Cao returned to the tent, he saw an empty box and asked who guessed what it meant. Cao Cao was very happy to tell him that this was Yang Xiu. Suddenly, Cao Cao remembered Xun _ and ordered another box. At this time, Xun _ was ill in Shouchun, and it was very cold in winter. He caught a cold. I am very happy to receive the food box presented by Cao Cao. But when he opened the food box, he found it was empty. He thought to himself: Cao Hong is a fragile person, and there is absolutely no reason to give me an empty box. Let me kill myself? Xun Yu thought: Has this matter reached Tsao Gong's ears? He was not satisfied with me, so he gave me an empty box, implying that I should make my own decision? Come to think of it, Zuo Zongtang is tolerant and open-minded; Talking and laughing, there is nothing to hide. Plus the past, it is very close to me; If you have any dissatisfaction with me, it will be exposed. How can you die if you don't show? Thought of here, I feel even colder. He ordered the waiter to close the doors and windows and add charcoal to keep warm. I fell asleep soon, but I never woke up. When the waiter came into the room, he found that he had had a cold for a long time. When people don't know the truth, they think Xun committed suicide by taking poison. According to today's guess, it is really a charcoal fire. To put it bluntly, it is gas poisoning. When Cao Cao heard that Xun was dead, he shouted, "Xun! Virtue made Zhou Bei famous. For a hundred years, no one can catch up with talents! You and I have been together for more than 20 years, and you have entered the most exciting project. I can't live without Xunzi here! I lost Xun, a mentor and friend, and hurt my thigh! " So he personally carried the coffin back to Xudu. I just met someone from other places, still crying. Pursue the honor after death. The news came that Sun Quan wrote to Liu Bei, but Tsao Gong wanted to kill Fu for no reason. Xun _ didn't keep up, so he committed suicide. Liu Bei wrote and sighed: "The old thief will never die, and there will be endless troubles! Later, Pei Songzhi commented: "This statement not only falsely called the prince, but also corrupted Gong Xun. "Although mediocre, but it is still far from here. Why are you tired of Tessa? Wow! The ancients have passed away, and it is difficult to argue today. Why bother!
