What is this? I was born in an unknown year, died in 204 AD, and was born in Nanyang, Henan. Xu You used to be Yuan Shao's counselor, but later, because the family law was not correct during the battle of Guandu, he abandoned Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao, and designed Cao Cao's plan to sneak attack on the location of Yuan Shao's grain depot, which caused Yuan Shao to be defeated in Guandu. Xu You, let me introduce Xu You next. & gt After the Battle of Guandu, Xu You followed Cao Cao to pacify Jizhou and made great contributions. However, Xu You supported his troops with self-respect and despised Cao Cao many times, calling him Cao Cao's nickname. All the generals were indignant at Xu You's rudeness and arrogance. A few days later, Xu You met Chu Xu at the East Gate. I can't bear to bring up the old story again: can you get in and out of this door like this without me? Chu Xu retorted angrily: We fought bloody battles to win this city. How dare you brag like that! Xu You didn't know how to live or die, and scolded: You are all ordinary people, which is nothing. Chu Xu was furious and drew his sword to kill Xu You. & gt Look at the reaction of Cao Cao and Chu Xu to kill Xu You-Chu Xu killed Xu You and looked up at Cao Cao: Xu You was rude and I killed him. Cao Cao said: Xu You and I are old friends, so we play together. Cao Cao "deeply blamed Chu Xu and reburied Xu You". Chu Xu was only "deeply criticized" by Cao Cao, and no one paid for Xu You's life. Xu You was beheaded by Chu Xu, and her life was equivalent to an ant. From this description, we can easily infer that Chu Xu was actually instructed by Cao Cao-Xu You was arrogant and the Prime Minister was angry. Otherwise, Chu Xu also dare not kill an adjutant beside Cao Cao! Poor Xu You, what a fantasy he has for Cao Cao. Finally, Cao Cao didn't regard him as a "thing" at all. For a real villain like Cao Cao, when it comes to the highest dignity and interests, the so-called "talent" is by no means the first consideration. How to maintain your highest dignity and interests has become the only standard. "Talent" includes talent, talent, cleverness and talent ... As the king of a country in feudal society, without talent, the state machine works as usual, but with talent, it is necessary to display it, and there is a 50% possibility that it will be good or bad. Of course, it is not that Cao Cao does not attach importance to "talents", but it involves his own dignity and interests, and all "talents" can be sacrificed. & gt Judging from the performance of Xu You's defection to Cao Cao, he should be a wise man. However, such a smart person may have a strong "business ability", but in terms of "understanding people", he is basically a * * *. He thought that in Cao Cao's eyes, people like him were so important, but he didn't know that in Cao Cao's eyes, nothing could not be destroyed. Military commanders are loyal and simple-minded, but they can always work hard, while civil servants are corrupt, pedantic, useless and despised from the heart. Even if it is a little credit, it is not worth much. Why not kill it? Xu Youzhi's arrogance is not overestimating himself, but overestimating Cao Cao's attitude towards talents. The so-called talents are not family, friendship or even life in Cao Cao's eyes, but just tools. He can be "meritocratic", but never "people-oriented". Cao Cao's highest values are that self-esteem and self-interest are above everything else. Talents, at the same time, must be obedient and sensible slaves in order to exist in front of a master like Cao Cao. Since ancient times, there have been many corrupt scholars who "don't understand people" like Xu You. They always have unrealistic illusions about the "mind" and "kindness" of the "master" and will never be in the right position. Therefore, their fate is full of ups and downs, and they became the first donkeys to be killed after unloading the mill. & gt
