Romance, at the most critical moment of the Battle of Guandu, Xu You rebelled against Yuan Shao and defected to Cao Cao. He leaked Yuan Shao's grain and grassland and the black nest, which led to Yuan Shao's defeat. After that, Xu You was complacent, arrogant, and looked down upon Cao Ying's generals, even Cao Cao ignored him.
One day, when Xu Chu entered the city from the east gate, he happened to meet Xu You. Xu You said to Xu Chu: "If you didn't have me, how could you have captured Yecheng?" Xu Chu was furious after hearing this: "We fought and fought and captured Yecheng. It has nothing to do with you?" Xu You was probably drunk and cursed. Xu Chu and others are even husbands.
Xu Chu is most afraid of others saying that he is a husband and has no education, so he drew his sword and beheaded him. After killing Xu You, he came to see Cao Cao with Xu You's head. After Cao Cao saw it, he said indifferently that Xu You and himself were old friends, and he just liked to make jokes. Why was he killed? He just blamed Xu Chu for his indiscretion and did not go into it deeply, and he buried Xu You.
So, was Xu You also killed by Xu Chu in official history? No, unlike in the novel, Xu You in the official history was not killed by Xu Chu. Who is the "murderer"?
Xu You, the character is far away, and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were good friends when they were young. He has never been a person who keeps his own self. As early as AD 184, Xu You, Jizhou Governor Wangfen, Peiguo Zhou Jing and others were preparing to abolish the emperor and change Hefei Hou as the emperor. Xu You also tried to pull Cao Cao into the water, persuading Cao Cao to join him, but Cao Cao decisively refused. After the incident was revealed, Jizhou governor Wang Fen committed suicide and Xu You fled.
In 189 AD, Xu You defected to Yuan Shao and became his adviser. He urged Yuan Shao to join Cao Cao. This is not selfish. After another few years, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had conflicts of interest and fought each other. He proposed to Yuan Shao to attack Xuchang lightly, and after he captured Xudu, he greeted the emperor to defeat Cao Cao. But the short-sighted Yuan Shao disagreed. He must defeat Cao Cao openly, first capture Cao Cao, and then attack Xu Du. "At this time, someone in Xu You's family broke the law and was arrested by the trial match, and Yuan Shao didn't turn to him, so he was furious and went to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao barefoot after learning that Xu You had defected. To greet him, he thought that Xu You was here, that he could accomplish something important, and that defeating Yuan Shao was just around the corner. As expected, Xu You revealed to Cao Cao that Wuchao, where Yuan Jun’s food and grass were stocked, was false and real. Cao Cao sent people to pretend to be Yuan Jun to attack Wuchao, take it in one go, and burn the food and grass. Yuan Jun broke through without attacking, and fled with great defeat.
In the 9th year of Jian'an (204 years), Cao Cao broke through Yecheng. At this time, Xu You was self-confident and successful and began to float. Every time at the banquet, Xu You called Cao Cao Xiao. Ming said, "Ah, if you don't have me, you won't have Jizhou, and you might be captured by Yuan Shao. "Although Cao Cao laughed on the surface and agreed with Xu You's words, he was very unhappy in his heart.
But at the east gate of Yecheng, Xu You told the pedestrians on the street if Cao Cao hadn't He could not enter through this door. Cao Cao was tolerable or unbearable, so Xu You was taken into custody and killed. The relevant record in "Wei Lue" is as follows:
you self-reliance on Xun Lao, when he played with Taizu Every time I was present, I didn’t limit myself to Qi, and I called Taizu's small print, saying: "A certain Jia, the Qing can't be me, and I can't Jizhou. Taizu laughed and said: "Yeah is true." "However, I suspected it. Then I left Yedongmen, Gu Wei left and right said: "If this house has me, you can't enter this door." "There are people who are white, so they will be accepted.
It can be seen that the "murderer" who killed Xu You in official history is not Xu Chu, but Cao Cao. Then why did he kill the hero of the Guandu War Xu You, has the reputation of being a murderer in the eyes of the world? Cao Cao had to do this. The main reason was that Xu Youxuan was so proud. What else is there?
First, if Xu You was just scorning himself in private, it would be fine, but Xu You was "nonsense" in the public.
Imagine that Jizhou has just been captured by Cao Cao The common people still have feelings for Yuan Shao, and now they hear Xu You’s disrespectful words towards Cao Cao.. Cao Cao loves face the most, saying, "I would rather I lose the world, not the world." Xu You helped Cao Cao a lot, especially in the battle of Guandu, so Cao Cao has been tolerant of Xu You, and repeatedly gave in. Now, when Xu You is advancing, Cao Cao doesn't talk about friendship anymore. Cao Cao, who wanted to establish authority, had to take Xu You to operate.
Secondly, if Cao Cao didn't kill Xu You in time, Xu You might say something more outrageous.
We know that Xu You and Cao Cao knew each other when they were young, and they worked together. If Cao Cao has anything to hide on the stage, Xu You knows. This time, what Xu You said is trivial, but in the future he will say something more outrageous. Xu You's mouth didn't keep the door open, and he said everything, in case Cao Cao's nasty things are revealed someday, therefore, Cao Cao must kill Xu You to eliminate the trouble.
Conclusion
In the history, Xu You spoke insultingly, and Cao Cao executed him. I don't know why, Luo Guanzhong, who has always respected Liu and demoted Cao, beautifies Cao Cao and excuses him. Xu Chu beheaded Xu You in anger. However, no matter how much Yanyi conceals it, it cannot change the fact that Cao Cao acquiesced in Xu Chu beheading Xu You.
