What was Jia Xu like in history? Why did he die a natural death when he was called a drug Lord? What was Jia Xu like in history? Jia Xu, a famous counselor and strategist in the Three Kingdoms period, was a hero of the founding of Cao Wei, ranking first in the Three Kingdoms, and worshipped as the imperial Lord. He was one of the few counselors who died. But later generations will call Jia Xu "the first poison in the West" when evaluating him. Why?

First, the reason why Jia Xu is called "the first poison in the west"

First of all, when it comes to "western cool", scholars, aristocratic families and ordinary people at that time thought that there was nothing good about western cool people, similar to today's regional discrimination. So Jia Xu, who was born in Xiliang, was actually discriminated against.

Secondly, he is called "Poison Man" because he is good at using poisonous devices. He's good at conspiring, killing people by using the knife, alienating each other and buying off fraud.

Jia Xu is said to be the "first poisonous man" because he used poisonous devices several times, but he managed to protect himself wisely.

Jia Xu initially followed Dong Zhuo, but after Dong Zhuo was killed, he incited Li Jue Group to besiege Chang 'an, burning and looting. Later, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Xiu, and Jia Xu designed a fake defection and killed Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang; Later, Jia Xu encouraged him to go to Cao Cao and was killed because of the "Wei stabbing incident", while Jia Xu was safe and sound.

Second, what is Jia Xu's real ability?

Personally, Jia Xu is really a great man.

Jia Xu is particularly good at discerning situations, and his meticulous mind is unparalleled. He can easily handle complicated disputes over political interests. He is so powerful that all the warlords are helpless.

The most famous thing is that after Dong Zhuo was killed, when the remnants of Dong Zhuo were ready to escape, Jia Xu used his golden words to persuade them to counterattack the imperial court.

It is precisely because of Jia Xu's move that the later troubled times of the Three Kingdoms were created.

If Guo Jia has thoroughly studied Cao Cao's opponents, then Jia Xu has thoroughly studied Cao Cao's troops.

Among Cao Cao's advisers, Jia Xu is considered to be the most scheming. He is also an adviser in Cao Cao's camp. He has voted for many masters, but his life is stable. Jia Xu, who was later recognized by Cao Cao, became Cao Pi's teacher. After three dynasties and wealth, he died of old age in bed and died in troubled times.

In Cao Wei camp, Sima Yi came to power after the death of Xun's father and son and Guo Jia. Although Jia Xu is safe and sound, he is also afraid and treading on thin ice. It's not easy for Jia Xu along the way.

3. Why did Jia Xu get a happy ending?

But how many people can get a good death in the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty?

Many people are similar to each other in pure strategy. Jia Xu's greatest strength is his study of human heart.

When Jia Xu considers the problem, he will first look at it from his own point of view, because the most important thing for him is to save his life, the second is to pursue fame and gain, and the last is to think about the group he serves.

Therefore, in Jia Xu's political career, many times, he can handle the relationship between life-saving, fame and group interests in a "trinity" way.

The classic example of Jia Xu's trinity method is the dispute between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi's prince.

At that time, Cao Pi, the eldest son, deeply felt the threat from Cao Zhi, so he sent someone to consult Jia Xu.

Jia Xu knew that he was involved in the battle for the prince, and he would die if he was not careful. But since xelloss came for advice, it's no use talking. But it is too clear that once xelloss fails, you will have something to hold in the hands of Cao Zhi. But if you prevaricate Cao Pi, it will be even worse. Because once xelloss succeeds, he will be in danger, and this must not happen. So, what should we do?

Jia Xu's answer is very meaningful. The general meaning is: "Be good to your father and be a good son. It's as simple as that!" This answer seems to be a few words, but it properly solves the relationship between life-saving, fame and group interests.

Jia Xu touched xelloss with these words. As long as Cao Pi is not stupid, he will certainly understand that under the current circumstances, paying homage to Cao Cao is the best way.

In Jia Xu's view, even if Xia Houdun wins in the future, it's just as well for him to defect. Because Jia Xu didn't design Cao Zhi, he just answered Cao Pi's question, asking Cao Pi to be proud of his father and forget the dispute over the prince. However, if Xelloss succeeds in the future, Jia Xu will certainly play an important role.

In addition, Cao Cao has been hesitant to establish a prince. I don't know whether to set up a gifted scholar Cao Zhi or my eldest son Cao Pi, so I asked Jia Xu. This is definitely a thorny issue, especially in the face of Cao Cao's answer to such a question, we should be extra cautious. Because Cao Cao is very scheming, no one knows what Cao Cao really thinks, and Jia can't guess.

What if you don't answer, and the answer is not as good as Cao Cao's? Jia Xu pretended to be thoughtful, and Cao Cao asked him why. He looked around and said that he was thinking about Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, so he succeeded in getting away with it.

This is Jia Xu, who seems to answer irrelevant questions, but answers satisfactorily. Afterwards, if the other party held him accountable, Jia refused and pretended not to say anything. This example fully illustrates Jia Xu's control over people's hearts, which not only left a way out for his own life, but also gave xelloss a good idea for winning the crown prince. He also made great contributions in the future and won a benefit for xelloss group.

Fourth, summary.

Throughout Jia Xu's life, he was observant and resourceful. Unfortunately, he has no lofty political ambitions and is selfish. He just wants to protect himself, has no principles, and just wants stability, no matter what the flood is.

Jia Xu did provide many useful strategies and resourcefulness for customers, but he lacked ideal ambition and could not serve the world wholeheartedly. He is the most irresponsible person in the Three Kingdoms, and even Jia Xu is an accomplice in the chaos.

Although Jia Xu finally got a happy ending, in history, he was at best an independent counselor, not a wise man who thought of the world. I think, in the era of fighting in the Three Kingdoms, being able to die alone is a character!
