Why did Yang Xiu, who was extremely smart, repeatedly challenge Cao Cao s bottom line and was killed

Yang Xiu in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be the most typical "smart person who is smart but is mistaken by cleverness". obviously has a high talent and IQ, but it was only because of the lack of emotional intelligence that he ended up in a different place. Even Cao Cao, who loved talent very much, couldn't tolerate him in the end.

As the main bookkeeper, Yang Xiu has such an ending because of the following reasons:

1. Misjudgment of Cao Cao's personality may be in Yang Xiu's view, Cao Cao is a very talented person, so much so that he will not easily kill everyone who is useful to him.

In fact, Cao Cao did this, and many times for those who offended him, as long as they surrendered sincerely, he would be treated as guests.

may have been able to see such a scene that fueled his psychology and made him challenge Cao Cao's bottom line again and again.

all say: "If you don't see through it, you are still good friends", and Yang Xiu is a person who has seen through and has to explain it thoroughly. Under such circumstances, how could Cao Cao tolerate him; Keeping such a person who knows his own mind well is not half of the benefit of being around.

Second, Yang Xiu wanted to use this way to impress Cao Cao Yang Xiu thought that he was very talented, and he was unwilling to be just such a small official as the chief bookkeeper, and wanted to show his talent in front of Cao Cao. In order for Cao Cao to identify with himself, he must get Cao Cao's attention.

That's why there are three things: "one person and one bite of cake", "killing people in a dream", and packing up and preparing to retreat. Among these three things, although Yang Xiu's performance was commendable, he was the only one among the people who saw these things thoroughly.

But because of this, Yang Xiu became the person Cao Cao hated the most, for a leader, it is important to like smart people; But I definitely don't like those subordinates who dismantle their own desk all the time.

Therefore, based on the above situation, it seems that the reason why Yang Xiu has repeatedly challenged Cao Cao's bottom line; It's all because of his misjudgment of Cao Cao's psychology and some of his own clever practices.

wants to get Cao Cao's attention, Cao Cao's camp has many capable people, although Yang Xiu is smart but not taken seriously, in order to get Cao Cao's attention, he can only repeatedly challenge Cao Cao's bottom line.

In fact, Yang Xiu did this to improve his status, Cao Cao had many advisers, Yang Xiu was able to attract Cao Cao's attention by doing so, but he didn't expect that this would cause Cao Cao's disgust.

Because being smart is being mistaken by being smart. His intelligence is only reflected in IQ, while his EQ is low.

Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu for the following reasons:

1, Yang Xiu is proud of his talents, he loves to show off in front of Cao Cao, and he wanted to be appreciated by Cao Cao and reused, but it backfired, and Cao Cao was very dissatisfied with Yang Xiu's behavior.

2. Yang Xiu participated in the major event of Cao Cao's establishment of the prince, which undoubtedly touched Cao Cao's bottom line, but Yang Xiu still did not know how to restrain himself, and finally guessed Cao Cao's thoughts in the name of chicken ribs in the Battle of Hanzhong, and was executed by Cao Cao.

Anecdotal allusions about Yang Xiu:

Cao Cao, the king of Wei Wu, once passed under the Cao E monument, and Yang Xiu followed him. I saw the back of the stele written "Yellow silk young woman, grandson mortar" eight words. Cao Cao asked Yang Xiu:

Do you know what that means? Yang Xiu said, "I know."

Cao Cao said: "Don't say it yet, let me think about it." After walking thirty miles, Cao Cao said:

I've figured it out. ”

He asked Yang Xiu to write down his understanding separately. Yang Xiu wrote: "Yellow silk is colored silk, and the colored silk is synthesized into a 'absolute' character;Young woman, is the meaning of the girl, the girl synthesized a 'wonderful' word;The grandson is the son of the daughter, and the woman synthesizes the word 'good';Mortar is a matter of hardship.

Painstakingly synthesized into a 'word' (辤): this is the 'wonderful word'. Cao Cao also wrote down his understanding, and the result was the same as Yang Xiu's, so he sighed and said: "My talent can't catch up with you, so I thought about it for thirty miles more." ”

It's because Yang Xiu likes to be smart too much, he always likes to tell Cao Cao's thoughts, as a high-ranking person, Cao Cao definitely doesn't like his thoughts to be seen through. Yang Xiu also took Cao Zhi into trouble, and Cao Cao killed him in order to warn Cao Zhi.

Because although Yang Xiu was smart, he didn't know how to behave, so he offended Cao Cao, and in the end Cao Cao chose to kill him.

It was because he was too smart that Cao Cao was worried that his descendants were not his opponents, so he wanted to get rid of him.

Cao Cao killed another smart person, this person is called Zhou Budo, Zhou Budo and the elephant Cao Chong are prodigies, but unfortunately Cao Chong died of illness at the age of thirteen, Cao Cao felt that Zhou Budo was too smart, so he planned to kill Zhou Budo, after Cao Pi heard about it, he ran to Cao Cao to persuade him not to kill Zhou Budo.

Cao Pi has a heart for talent, he wants to accept Zhou Budo for his use, Cao Cao saw through Cao Pi's thoughts, he said to Cao Pi: If Cao Chong is still there, he can control Zhou Budo, this prodigy, if it's you, then forget it, Zhou Budo is not something you can control, Cao Cao finally killed Zhou Budo.

Then let's come back and take a look at Yang Xiu, if according to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is because Yang Xiu is too smart and has asked Cao Cao to come down to the table many times, and the more famous one is a box of crisps, broad word puzzles, Cao E Monument, these stories about word puzzles, and finally because of the chicken ribs, he was killed by Cao Cao.

But in fact, there was a chicken rib thing, but it was not immediately killed by Cao Cao, but a few months later, Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, and coincidentally, Cao Cao also died of illness a few months later, and then Cao Pi succeeded to the throne.

It can be said that Yang Xiu's cleverness and chicken ribs are not the cause of his death, but there are other more complex reasons, the most basic reason is that Yang Xiu supports Cao Zhi, Sima Yi supports Cao Pi, and in the end Cao Pi wins.

Let's first take a look at Yang Xiu's family background, ability and status, Yang Xiu's family background is extremely prominent, Yuan Shao's Yuan family is the fourth and third princes, and the Yang family is the fourth Taiwei, Taiwei is the head of the three princes, Yuan Shao can be recommended as the leader of the Dong League because of the fourth and third dukes, which shows that the influence of the Yang family should not be underestimated.

Yang Xiu's ability is naturally very strong, he is Cao Cao's prime minister's book, this official position seems to be very inconspicuous, but many of Cao Cao's military affairs are actually handled by Yang Xiu, and they are handled very well, which is deeply affirmed by Cao Cao, and many people went to befriend Yang Xiu at that time, including Cao Pi, the son of the world at that time.

Yang Xiu also has another identity, that is, he is the grandson of Yuan Shu, which means that Yang Xiu has the family background of Yang and Yuan, Cao Cao once wrote to Yang Xiu's father Yang Biao that Yang Xiu often relies on the power of the Yang family and often has different opinions with Cao Cao, Cao Cao has always wanted to correct Yang Xiu, and Yang Xiu has always been very unhappy, so Cao Cao is also dissatisfied with Yang Xiu.

Obviously, Yang Xiu is tied to Cao Zhi, if Cao Zhi wins, then Yang Xiu can be like Sima Yi later, but unfortunately, Cao Pi wins, then Yang Xiu will die, and Sima Yi will naturally be reused, Yang Xiu and Sima Yi can only keep one.

Because Yang Xiu was too smart, he was arrogant and arrogant, his eyes were empty, he wantonly violated military orders, and instigated Cao Zhi to compete for the position of the prince.

Because although Yang Xiu has a high IQ, his EQ is very low, and he often says what Cao Cao thinks in his heart, which makes Cao Cao very unhappy. There is also the fact that he supports Cao Zhi, and Cao Cao is worried that he will make trouble for Cao Pi with Cao Zhi in the future, so he simply kills him.

Although Yang Xiu's IQ is very high, his EQ is very low, he doesn't understand Cao Cao's character, and guesses Cao Cao's psychology at will, Cao Cao is very jealous, so he kills him.

It was because Yang Xiu finally participated in the seizure of the heir, which aroused Cao Cao's suspicion in this incident, so Cao Cao would kill him.

Because Cao Cao believed that his sons were incapable of controlling him and were likely to become his puppets, he wanted to kill him.
