In the late Qin and early Han dynasties, the country was weak and failed to serve the country, so it was overturned; but the flames of reviving South Korea were ignited in the heart of Zhang Liang, who was still young. For this reason, he planned to assassinate the King of Qin, and tried his best to support Han Cheng as King of Han, and charged forward to regain Han territory. In the end, due to the general trend, he served under Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han.
"Planning in the middle and winning a thousand miles away" can be said to be a true portrayal of Zhang Liang. As a founding hero of the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang assisted Liu Bang in conquering the world of the Western Han Dynasty and opening up the four hundred years of history of the Han Dynasty.
The time is at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he has the evaluation of "the talent of the king and the assistant" when he is young. Xun Yu also wants to use what he has learned to serve the country, but because of the villain, he decided to leave. Xun Yu led his family to take refuge and was treated with courtesy from Yuan Shao, but it was not what Xun Yu wanted. He decisively left two years later and defected to Cao Cao, whom he recognized, and officially started his life as a counselor.
When Cao Cao first met Xun Yu, he shouted, "My son's house" and then appointed him as Sima. In the next five years, he followed General Zhendong to fight, pointed out the problem many times, preserved the rear of the army, and allowed Cao Cao to defeat Lu Bu many times and expand the territory in the north.
After Tao Qian's death, Cao Cao, who was determined to win in Xuzhou, immediately attacked Xuzhou. Tao Qian once attempted to occupy Taishan County in Yanzhou, and Cao Cao's father died here later. Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou twice, but although he failed to defeat all of them, he had already occupied the majority. Later, the battle was temporarily extinguished due to Lu Bu's attack.
At this time, Cao Cao could no longer hold back the idea of attacking Xuzhou, but Lu Bu was eyeing him covetously, and Xuzhou was taken over by Liu Bei. Xun Yu knew very well that it was not appropriate to attack Xuzhou at this time. Taking Emperor Gaozu of Han as an example, he persuaded Cao Cao to accumulate energy and stabilize the hearts of the people.
The most important thing at this time is to ensure stability in the rear and eliminate Cao Cao's intention to continue attacking Xuzhou. In timely autumn harvest, reserve grain and grass, later defeated Lu Bu in one fell swoop and recovered all parts of Yanzhou.
Under Xun Yu's persuasion, Cao Cao first "deeply rooted in solidarity" and laid a solid foundation for the later unification of the north, that is, "controlling the world".
In 196, Emperor Xian of Han returned to Luoyang. At this time, the Cao army had to argue endlessly whether to welcome the emperor. Most people believed that in the current situation, they could not fully control it and this matter could not be done. Xun Yu tried his best to disagree and successfully persuaded Cao Cao to welcome the emperor and build the capital of Xu County. Since then, Cao Cao's actions have been based on the power of the emperor, and his strategic leadership is famous and superior.
Cao Cao was fighting outside, and Xun Yu was defending the rear for Cao Cao. The so-called "centered and focused" was the craftsman of Cao's strategic policy and military blueprint. Xun Yu also recommended talents to Cao Cao many times and made many achievements.

197, Cao Cao was defeated by Zhang Xiu, and was ridiculed by Yuan Shao's letters. Xun Yu first appeased Cao Cao in four aspects: measurement, decision, strategy and talent, and re-established Cao Cao's confidence in fighting for the world; he also clarified his strategic thinking for Cao Cao, "appeased Guanzhong, recommended Zhong Yao to manage Guanxi, and then took Lu Bu to pacify Xuzhou." The following year, Cao Cao avenged his previous shame and took Xuzhou.
In 200, Yuan Shao, who had been dissatisfied with Cao Cao's "handling the emperor", tried to go south to capture Xudu. Cao Cao confronted Yuan's army for half a year when there was no less than the many. Due to insufficient food and grass, he began to retreat. Xun Yu promptly persuaded Cao Cao to stick to it and wait for a good opportunity. Soon, Cao Cao won the Battle of Guandu. Since then, Yuan Shao has been in a defeated position.
In 203, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu to be the magistrate of Wansui Pavilion; in 207, he added Xun Yu's household and granted the position of three public officials.
Although Xun Yu gave advice to Cao Cao's unification of the north and made outstanding contributions in many aspects, Xun Yu wanted to be loyal to the Han Dynasty royal family, which can also be confirmed in many aspects.
When Xun Yu persuaded Cao Cao to welcome the emperor, he said this: "Save the country beyond the court, but his heart is always tied to the royal family." This is enough to confirm what Xun Yu is thinking. I hope Cao Cao will keep the etiquette as a minister and truly be loyal to the Han Dynasty, rather than just treating the Han royal family as a tool to "order the princes".
Although, after Xun Yu's death, Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Wei, but he failed to "hold the sincerity of loyalty and concession" as Xun Yu thought, but the replacement matter was only true when Cao Cao's son became a reality, and I don't know if there is any comfort.
Everyone sighed that Xun Yu taught Cao Cao how to pacify the world. The world has been pacified, but Xun Lingjun's heart is known to everyone.
