220, Cao Cao, the most powerful person in Wei , passed away, and his son Cao Pi accepted the throne of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty and ascended the throne. Cao Pi followed Cao Cao on his expeditions east and west since he was a child. In his heart, the throne was his. After becoming emperor, Cao Pi was very ambitious and vowed to do better than the emperors of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Pi decided for himself the candidates for the three princes. Among them, the Taiwei chose Jia Xu as the Taiwei.
Cao Pi thought his decision was satisfactory. Sun Quan found out about it, but couldn't help laughing, saying that Cao Pi actually used Jia Xu. He was so resourceful, not even one-tenth of Cao Cao's, and Cao Wei would surely perish.
"Three Kingdoms·Jia Xu Biography" records: "Jin Situ Que, Emperor Wu asked him about Xu. The answer was: 'Three Dukes are looking forward to where they are, so you can't use anything wrong. This person. 'In the past Emperor Wen of Wei used Jia Xu as the Three Dukes, and Sun Quan laughed at him. "
So how unworthy was Jia Xu to make Sun Quan laugh like this? Why does he think that if Cao Pi uses Jia Xu, Cao Wei will definitely die?
First of all, let’s look at the official position of Sangong in the court. The three official positions have always been the three most important and noble positions in managing government affairs. Each dynasty has different division of labor and different position names, which are inherently different.
When we arrived at Cao Pi's place, Taiwei was the head of the three princes, which shows how high Jia Xu's power and status is.. So Sun Quan laughed at Cao Pi because Jia Xu's talents were not worthy of the position of Taiwei?
Jia Xu is not an ordinary person. He was born as a filial and honest person and is a very talented person.. He initially relied on Dong Zhuo . After Dong Zhuo's death, he changed several lords and offered plans to defeat Cao Cao twice. Fortunately, Cao Cao loved talents and was not a stingy person. When Jia Xu relied on Zhang Xiu, he surrendered to Cao Cao.
Zhang Xiu later rebelled and almost killed Cao Cao, but Jia Xu stayed with Cao Cao and made many contributions to him.
When Cao Cao established his son, Cao Pi was not the first choice. At this time, Jia Xu stood up to support Cao Pi and told Cao Cao not to abolish the elder and establish the young. In this way, the future Cao Pi was born. For this friendship, of course Cao Pi had to make him a Taiwei.
Jia Xu was not without talent, Sun Quan laughed at him because he thought his moral character was not good and his talent and morality did not match .
Jia Xu was a selfish person when he was young. Once, Jia Xu resigned due to illness, and on his way home, he and more than ten people were arrested by the rebels.
It was estimated that the odds were against him, so Jia Xu lied and said that he was the grandson of Taiwei Duan Jiong , and he would get a lot of property if he let him go. When the Di people heard this, they did not dare to hurt him and sent him away. But all the others who were traveling with him were killed.
Taiwei Duan Jun once led the troops to defeat the Qiang rebellion. He was so famous that his grandson was not dared to be provoked by the Di people. Jia Xu's ability to adapt to changes is very strong, but if he was really talented, he should have saved all the innocent people instead of running away. This only shows that he is selfish and cares about matters that have nothing to do with him.
Jia Xu is from Liangzhou . At that time, the world had a bad impression of Liangzhou people . Not only that, people at that time were snobbish and paid great attention to their origin. Not only was Jia Xu a native of Liangzhou, but he also came from a poor family. He was not favored by anyone wherever he went. So at first he was with Dong Zhuo, who was also from Liangzhou.
Wang Yun used tricks to provoke Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo. He hated the people of Liangzhou even more, and even made harsh words to kill all the people of Liangzhou and clear Dong Zhuo's remaining party.
Liangguan Li Jue, Guo Si and others were about to run away. Jia Xu stopped them and suggested a plan: Wang Yun wants to kill all the people in Liangzhou. If you run away alone, you will be caught easily. It is not as good as You lead the troops to the west, strengthen your troops along the way, attack Chang'an , and avenge Dong Gong. Even if you fail, you can escape again.
As expected, these two people fought back to Chang'an, and killed Chang'an with blood flowing into rivers. Troubled times arose again , and finally ended with Cao Cao resisting and killing these two people. Then, Cao Cao started to coerce the emperor to order the princes.
After following Zhang Xiu, Jia Xu offered a plan to defeat Cao Cao. Zhang Xiu admired him . As a result, when Yuan Shao came to recruit him, Zhang Xiu was ready to agree, but Jia Xu refused in person Yuan Shao's people and told Zhang Xiu Should submit to Cao Cao .
Facing the surrender of a powerful enemy, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and Jia Xu also asked Cao Cao's son Cao Jun to marry Zhang Xiu's daughter. As a result, Zhang Xiu rebelled and Jia Xu was still a high official here with Cao Cao.
It was also a conspiracy to persuade Zhang Xiu to surrender to Cao Cao . Zhang Xiu once killed Cao Cao's son, and even Cao Pi pointed his nose at him and scolded him. Jia Xu's move was just that he fell in love with Cao Cao, using others as a springboard .
Cao Pi wanted to conquer Soochow, but Jia Xu tried to dissuade him, but to no avail. Therefore, Sun Quan believed that Cao Pi's use of Jia Xu would not pose any threat to him.
Jia Xu did a lot for Cao Cao, but he knew that he had a grudge against Cao Cao, and that one day Cao Cao would kill all the birds, so he did not want Cao Cao to unify the world. After the Battle of Chibi , Cao Cao said angrily: If Guo Jia was here, he would never let me end up in this situation .
45 years later, the Sima family took over the power of the Cao family, and Sun Quan was indeed right.
