Evaluated by Cao Cao as a brave champion.

Cheng Yu

The cannibalism incident

"Shiyu of Wei and Jin Dynasties" records a passage: "In the beginning, Cao Cao was short of food. Yu took over his county and provided three days of food, which was mixed with human breasts. Therefore, he lost hope in the court, so The cause of the incident was that Cao Cao was at war with Lu Bu, but he did not expect to encounter a locust plague. At that time, the locust plague had eaten up all the food and grass. (Maybe most of my friends have not had such an experience. You can check the information. Once the locust plague occurs, it will cover a large black area and eat all the grass roots wherever it passes. Some friends will ask , why not eat locusts ? Good question, the answer is that locusts are poisonous. In addition to being poisonous, the people of that period believed that the locust plague was a punishment from heaven and had been deified, so they did not dare to eat it.) Cao Cao fell into a state of foodlessness. situation. As the saying goes, soldiers and horses must go before food and grass are used. If there is no food, not only will the morale of the army be unstable, but the soldiers will not have enough to eat and will not have the strength to fight. Therefore, if we do not raise food quickly, the war with Lu Bu will inevitably fail. Cao Mengde was very troubled by this matter, but at this time Yuan Shao sent an envoy over and promised to borrow food, but there was a condition that Cao Cao would take his family to Yuan Shao's base camp.

Cheng Yu

But in this way, Cao Cao will be controlled by Yuan Shao. Isn't being controlled by others the same as the minions of hawks and dogs? At this life-and-death moment, Cheng Yu stood up to stop Cao Cao from borrowing grain from Yuan Shao, and recommended himself to ask for orders to raise grain. Cheng Yu returned to Dong'a City where he was stationed, and looted grain and grass in the city. However, it was a time of war and there was a locust plague. The food available was really limited, and the people didn't have enough to eat. In order not to delay the military situation, Cheng Yu thought of a way to kill the people in the city and make cured meat. The dried meat was used as the meat of other livestock and mixed into the foraged grain and grass.

Cheng Yu

There is no detailed record of how much grain and grass Cheng Yu collected and how much dried meat he made. However, we can analyze the "three-day food supply" battle between the two armies. The number of people must not be too small. Tens of thousands of people will always have to fight. Yes, the food for tens of thousands of troops for three days must not be too little. Thinking about it, it is so scary that it can't help but send chills down one's spine.

Missing the Three Gongs

The Three Gongs are generally the collective name for Taishi, Taifu and Taibao, or Sima , Situ , Sikong are the three lords" (the one with the most talent lives there); or " Prime Minister Democracy, Taiwei Lord of the Army" (those with both ability and political integrity occupy this position). Each dynasty has a different positioning and title for the Three Dukes. The only thing that is the same is that they have a transcendent status, which is extremely noble and prominent. It requires those who have good qualifications, reputation and talents. To be one of the Three Dukes, how many ministers have spent their entire lives hoping to be ranked below the Three Dukes and above ten thousand people.

When Cao Pi became emperor, the three Dukes were Sikong Wang Lang, Taiwei Zhong Yao . Situ Huaxin, Cheng Yu was also among the candidates when the Three Lords were elected because of his seniority and many achievements. However, someone suggested that he was not good at being a "human flesh and army food" at that time, so he was not qualified for the position of Three Lords
