Xu Shu only took a salary in Cao s camp and didn t contribute, why didn t Cao Cao punish him?

In fact, this is also Cao Cao's guilt, and he feels sorry for Xu Shu. At the beginning, Cao Cao, he forced Xu Shu to leave Liu Bei's side and go to Cao's camp through inglorious means. Cao Cao sent someone to forcibly invite Xu Shu's mother to Cao Ying, Cao Cao used Xu Shu's mother to persecute Xu Shu, and Cao Cao asked Xu Shu to make a choice between his mother and Liu Bei.

There is no doubt that Xu Shu will definitely choose his mother. Xu Shu came to Cao Ying in this way and <>

But after Xu Shu arrived at Cao Ying, he made an appointment with Cao Cao for three chapters, and he said to Cao Cao that although I came under your Cao Cao, I would never give you advice. Cao Cao didn't say anything, Cao Cao wanted to use time to slowly influence Xu Shu, so he agreed. He Cao Cao didn't expect that Xu Shu really didn't give him advice, but Cao Cao was not angry.

After all, according to Cao Cao's thoughts, as long as you don't cause me trouble and don't give me the strength of my opponent, it's fine.

Originally, the reason why Cao Cao observed Xu Shu was because of Xu Shu's brilliant performance when he assisted Liu Bei at that time, which made Liu Bei's strength increase rapidly. This attracted Cao Cao's attention, and then discovered Xu Shu, a talented man. We all know the character of Cao Cao, although Cao Cao is suspicious, but in terms of treating talents, it can be said that he is a must of the three kingdoms.

Of course, this is also related to Cao Cao's background, Cao Cao's background is not very good, so his concept of those poor scholars is not so deep.

In Cao Cao's heart, as long as you are talented, then I dare to use you. So after Cao Cao discovered Xu Shu, a talented man, he couldn't wait to poach him from Liu Bei. In the end, everyone saw that Cao Cao finally achieved his goal.

Although Cao Cao did not let Xu Shu give him advice, compared to Xu Shu staying by Liu Bei's side to give advice to Liu Bei, Cao Cao was already very satisfied. According to Cao Cao's thoughts, as long as you don't enhance the strength of your opponent, then relatively speaking, I won't lose, so Xu Shu was delayed by Cao Cao all his life

First, Cao Cao's guilt towards Xu Shu. Xu Shu's mother died because of this. Second, if you can't get it, you can't get it cheap, Liu Bei. Third, it is conducive to building Cao Cao's reputation. It will also attract talents to invest in Cao Cao's command.

Because although Xu Shu didn't ask anything in Cao's camp, in fact, Xu Shu still did things, for example, Cao Cao once sent him to persuade Liu Bei, and Cao Cao cherished talents very much, so he would not punish Xu Shu.

That's because Xu Shu is a very famous person, and his existence has attracted strategists from all over the world to defect to Cao Cao, and although Xu Shu did not conspire, he also helped govern the people, which is also useful.

Because although Xu Shu did not offer a plan, he did not betray Ming Kai and escaped, so he did not touch Cao Cao's bottom line, if he was punished, it would be easy to cause a bad impact on others.

Because Cao Cao knew Xu Shu's talent, as long as Xu Shu didn't put forward any tricks to Liu Bei, he wouldn't blame him.

Because Xu Shu is also a very talented person, he has played a very important role, and he is also a very good talent.

Because Cao Cao admired Xu Shu's talent very much, as long as Xu Shu did not fall into Liu Bei's hands, Cao Cao would be very satisfied. And it just didn't help Cao Cao attack Liu Bei, and some of the doubts in his daily life Xu Shu can be answered for Cao Cao.

Because Cao Cao hoped that Xu Shu could be used for his own purposes, he did not punish Xu Shu and gave him good treatment. It's a pity that Xu Shu didn't return to obedience.

Because Cao Cao cherishes talents very much, and at the same time, Cao Cao doesn't want to be infamous and make other strategists feel cold.

After Xu Shu came to Cao Ying, he basically didn't do anything, but for such Xu Shu, Cao Cao didn't embarrass him, which really made people feel strange. After all, Xu Shu was able to come to Cao Ying, Cao Cao thought of a lot of ways and means, and also arrested Xu Shu's mother to persecute Xu Shu. It can be said that such a method is very inferior, so it can be seen from Cao Cao's practice at that time that Cao Cao must get the talent of Xu Shu.

But what disappointed Cao Cao was that after Xu Shu came to his side, he didn't offer a usable strategy, and what made people feel even more strange was that Xu Shu had not been punished by Cao Cao.

1. Cao Cao can't destroy his own character.

The reason why Cao Cao did not punish Xu Shu is actually quite complicated. From the perspective of Cao Cao's character, in modern terms, he already has a personality, and everyone knows it, whether it is people at that time or modern people, they all know that Cao Cao's character is Aicai. Cao Cao's kidnapping of his mother in order to get Xu Shu was very disgraceful, and Cao Cao himself naturally knew this, but as long as he achieved his goal, he would not care about the process.

But the problem is that after Xu Shu came to Cao Ying, he basically did nothing in offering advice, but Cao Cao put up with him, and Cao Cao treated Xu Shu well regardless of the cost because he didn't want to destroy his character. If others knew that after Cao Cao got talents, he killed people because he didn't get a good strategy, then how can Cao Cao say that he loves talents and cherishes talents in the future, so in order not to destroy his own personality, Cao Cao has no embarrassment for Xu Shu.

Second, Cao Cao has already won by keeping Xu Shu by his side.

An important reason why Cao Cao wanted to get Xu Shu was that he was Liu Bei's person, at that time, Liu Bei was Cao Cao's enemy, if a talent like Xu Shu continued to stay by Liu Bei's side to give him advice and advice, then Cao Cao would not be able to occupy an advantage, and it would be easy to lose to Liu Bei. So even if Xu Shu didn't do anything after coming to Cao Ying, Cao Cao would not blame him, as long as Xu Shu was not used by Liu Bei, then Cao Cao had actually achieved his goal.

3. Cao Cao respects Xu Shu.

Although Xu Shu is a talent that Cao Cao spent a lot of scheming to get, but for Cao Cao, all this is worth it, even if Xu Shu is unwilling to serve himself, he admires Xu Shu from the bottom of his heart. If Xu Shu came to Cao Ying's camp and immediately contributed to Cao Cao and scolded Cao Cao, Cao Cao would definitely think that Xu Shu would never be able to stay. And Xu Shu has reservations about Cao Wei, which just reflects that Xu Shu is loyal and loves the Lord, so Cao Cao has more admiration for Xu Shu, and naturally he will not punish him.

I think Cao Cao's character, it is impossible to ask for a useless person's socks, but Kong Tang Neng Xu Shu only lost and did not offer Cao Cao a strategy to deal with Liu Bei, and did a very good job in other aspects, so Cao Cao did not punish him.

Because Cao Cao cherished talents because of Li Dan's file disturbance, he felt that Xu Shu was a talented person and was reluctant to kill him. And he just won't offer plans to deal with Liu Bei, and he usually travels to give up his mind on other things.

Because Cao Cao thought that as long as he didn't give Liu Bei advice, he would be a meritorious person, at least weakening the opponent's strength, so he didn't punish him.
