Taking stock of the counselor rankings, Guo Jia only ranks at the bottom?

"If I can't get it, I will definitely kill this person!!"

"Otherwise, I, Yuan Benchu, will definitely die without a burial place."

Yuan Shao also summoned his assassins and dead men, hoping that they would recruit and assassinate Xun You.

At the same time, Yuan Shao was also furious and asked his counselor Xu You to be called.

He couldn't figure it out.

This Xu You actually He betrayed himself.

Unfortunately, Xu You had already escaped.

The scene continued.

In the seventh year of Jian'an,

Yuan Shao had died, and his sons, Yuan Tan, Yuan Shang and others inherited the foundation.

Xun You followed Cao Cao to attack Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangyu Liyang.

However, with the two men joining forces, Cao Cao was unable to conquer this place for a while. He had no choice but to retreat.

The next year,

Cao Cao planned to change direction and start going south to conquer Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

But he had just led an army to conquer Liu Biao. ,

Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang had an internal fight, and the two fought for Jizhou.

Yuan Tan lost to Yuan Shang for a while and was severely defeated.

So he sent Xin Pi to ask for surrender and asked Cao Cao for help. Cao Cao temporarily agreed and asked Yu How should the counselors and generals under his command deal with this matter?

The counselors all started to discuss and talk about it.

Most of the counselors believed that Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao was more powerful and should attack him first and conquer Jingzhou. Take them down.

As for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, they are not as talented as Yuan Shao. There is nothing to worry about.

Only Xun You did not speak for the time being.

So Cao Cao asked Xun You,"I wonder how Gongda views this matter? Xun

You bowed and said respectfully:"Today's world is in troubled times, but Liu Biao is firmly guarding the Jingzhou Xiangyang area between the Yangtze River and Hanhui."

So it is obvious that he has no ambition to rule the world.

The Yuan family occupies the territory of four states and has 100,000 soldiers.

Yuan Shao wins the hearts of the people with his generosity.

If his two sons live in harmony and maintain their established achievements, they will become a huge threat to us, and the world will be in disaster. It will not stop.

Now that the Yuan brothers are at odds, the result will not be that both parties will be saved.

If the two Yuans unite, they will be powerful and it will not be easy to gain power.

After taking advantage of their internal strife to eliminate them, the world will be peaceful.

So, lord, we cannot lose this opportunity!

We must take advantage of the internal fighting between the Yuan brothers to destroy them!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he knew what Xun You said made sense.

He said,"Gongda's strategy is very good."

So he agreed to marry Yuan Tan and immediately sent troops to defeat Yuan Shang.

After that, Yuan Tan betrayed Cao Cao again, and Xun You followed Cao Cao in Nanpi to offer advice and kill Yuan Tan.

The two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang were both killed by Cao Cao. After the beheading was over and

Jizhou was completely pacified,

Cao Cao presented a report to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. He asked for a knighthood for Xun You and said:"Xun You, military advisor, has been assisting my subordinates from the beginning. He has never followed me when he sent troops.

He defeated the enemy many times before and after, all because of Xun You's plan.

It can be said that I was able to pacify the north, and Xun You's military advisor made the greatest contribution."

So after that, the imperial court granted Xun Youling the title of Marquis of Shuting.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an,

Cao Cao once again ordered rewards based on merit, saying:

"Gongda is loyal and upright and good at plotting. Wenruo is the one who comforts me both inside and outside.

Gongda's contribution is second only to him."

Xun You increased the number of cities by 400 and became the Central Military Advisor.

Xun You, who served as the Central Military Advisor, no longer often accompanied the army in battles, but stayed in the rear for Cao Cao and was in charge of punishment.

When the Wei State was established, Xun You served as Shangshu Ling. He was thoughtful, wise and able to keep secrets.

Since he went to war with Cao Cao, he often strategized and provided excellent strategies for Cao Cao.

At that time, few people knew what he said.

Cao Cao always praised him and said:"Gongdawai" Foolish on the inside, timid on the outside but brave on the inside, weak on the outside but strong on the inside.

He does not show off his strengths or exaggerate his achievements.

Others can achieve his internal wisdom, but others cannot achieve his external stupidity.

Even Yan Zi and Ning Wu cannot catch up with him."

When Cao Pi was the crown prince in the East Palace, Cao Cao said to him:

"Xun Gongda is an example for people. You should respect him with all the courtesy."

Xun You once fell ill.

As the prince, Cao Pi went to express condolences and even worshiped alone under the bed.

He was particularly respected to such an extent.

This shows that the Cao family and his son valued him.

Xun You and Zhong Yao were close friends and they were close friends. Zhong

Yao once said:"Every time I take action, I think over and over again, thinking that there is nothing to change.

But when I ask Gongda about it, his answer always exceeds my expectations."

Xun You devised a total of twelve strange strategies before and after, and only Zhong Yao knew about it.

Unfortunately, Zhong Yao died before he could put it all together, so future generations are unknown.

Some later generations commented:"Sixteen years after You's death, Zhong Yao died, writing What's the difficulty with your clever strategy?

And when he was eighty years old, it was still not completed. It would be a pity that You's plan of joining the expedition would not be passed down to the world!

In the 19th year of Jian'an (214), in the seventh month of autumn,

Xun You followed Cao Cao to conquer Sun Quan and died on the road.

Cao Cao shed tears every time he talked about him.

This generation of divine conspirators fell.

And soon, it was on the gold list.

The large golden characters also began to appear.

This is a simple summary of Xun You’s life!

【Xun You was the most outstanding tactician in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was known as Cao Cao's"mastermind" and was good at flexible tactics and military strategies to defeat the enemy.

Xun You contributed in Cao Cao's battles against Zhang Xiu and Lu Bu.

In the battle of Guandu, which decided life and death, he was full of ingenuity, which played a decisive role in the victory of the battle.

He won the most critical battle in Cao Cao's life and was worthy of the title of"the mastermind of the Cao family".

Cao Cao commented that he was a fool on the outside and a wise man on the inside.

As a lord, Cao Cao's evaluation of Xun You is objective and accurate.

Cao Cao had many advisers under his command, all of whom were extremely resourceful.

In terms of intelligence alone, Xun You might not be the strongest, but in terms of great wisdom, Xun You was definitely one of the best.

A character like Xun You, no matter what environment he is in, no matter how much setbacks he encounters, he can adjust himself well and strive to adapt to the external environment.

For him, there is no such thing as a talent that is not appreciated, and there is no such thing as being born at the wrong time. There is only a stable strategy that sees through everything.

The only shortcoming may be that Xun You was too low-key throughout his life, which made his reputation not very high.

The Twelve Wonderful Strategies were also lost because of Zhong Yao's mistakes, which lowered his evaluation.

Taking into account Xun You's resourcefulness, internal affairs, reputation, etc., he was ranked 17th on the list of divine conspirators! 】
