Why did Cao Cao s first strategist die in the end?

Cao Cao's first advisor was Guo Jia. After Guo Jia's death, Cao Cao's mastermind was Xun You. It's not Xun Yu at all.

He can't give what Cao Cao wants, what Cao Cao wants the other party to do, he can't do it, and there is still a Han family in his heart.

He committed suicide by taking poison, although he was Cao Cao's adviser, but he did a lot of things to displease Cao Cao, Cao Cao was no longer reusing him, and finally had to drink medicine to commit suicide.

Cao Cao's most powerful strategist should be Guo Jia, he made a lot of contributions to Cao Cao, but his health was not very good, and he died of illness in the battle of Guandu.

Xun Yu, the first strategist under Cao Cao's account, he is a person loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he joined Cao Cao's camp at the same time as Cao Cao at the beginning, and he wanted to save the Han Dynasty full of loopholes, but later Cao Cao's idea changed, and he had the idea of replacing him in the face of the Han Dynasty that was unable to return to the sky, but Xun Yu always adhered to the original idea, which led to a final break with Cao Cao, and committed suicide by poisoning under Cao Cao's hint.

1 Guo Jia Many people think that his merits should be ranked below Xun Yu, and I personally think that the Battle of Guandu can be described as a decisive battle for Cao Cao to establish his hegemony, and its success or failure will directly affect Cao Cao's future fate. And in this decisive war, Guo Jia's theory of "ten victories and ten defeats" was that Cao Cao no longer hesitated and began to actively attack Yuan Shao, which laid the foundation for Cao Cao to defeat Yuan Shao.

In the subsequent campaign to pacify the four states, Guo Jia proposed to attack Wuhuan, which made Cao Cao completely defeat the Yuan clan. Although Xun Yu encouraged Cao Cao when he was about to run out of food, it was in the category of "tactics" after all. He also once commented on Yuan Shao's subordinates, "Tian Feng is just guilty of committing crimes, Xu Yu is greedy but not cured, he is specialized in trial and matching, and he uses it for himself."

Yan Liangwen is ugly, but he can fight a fight. But he never made it to Guandu in person, so in this super-large battle that determined the course of Chinese history, Guo Jia played a far better role than Xun Yu. Although Guo Jia died young at the age of 38, his exploits should be recorded in history.

It can even be said that without Guo Jia, there would be no Cao Cao's three-point world. To sum up, so I put it in the first place. 2 Xun Yu Wenruo's achievements are mostly in the big strategy, recommending talents, and governing internal affairs.

Although he assisted Cao Cao in many ways, his performance in the two crucial large-scale battles that determined Cao Cao's future status could only be regarded as "conscientious". For example, in the Battle of Chibi, Xun Yu's military and political suggestions on Cao Cao are rarely mentioned in the book "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms". It would be appropriate to place him second.

3 Jia Xu Speaking of Jia Xu, he joined Cao Cao relatively late. But even this did not diminish his brilliance in the slightest. During the Battle of Chibi, among Cao Cao's several important strategists, only Jia Xu stopped Cao Cao, and in the subsequent Battle of Weishui, for Han Sui and Ma Chao, he put forward the strategic policy of "leaving away", thus helping Cao Cao pacify Xiliang.

There is also the issue of establishing an heir, which made a great contribution to Cao Cao's determination to establish Cao Pi. If a person who has been sentimental since childhood is allowed to inherit the throne, I am afraid that the foundation of the Cao family will decline faster. In view of the fact that he moved in later than the previous two, he was assigned to the third place.

4 Xun You He was really an excellent strategist, and he was the only one who understood Cao Cao's strategy to lure the enemy in the Battle of the White Horse, and he was more active later, perhaps because of the sparse historical records, and he did not seem to have made a decisive recommendation to Cao Cao. But judging from Cao Cao's "Xun Junshi's "Xun Junshi's Evil, Don't Go More" and "The Twelve Strategies Drawn Before and After", he must have played a big role in Wei Cao Cao's peace in the world. So the grievances were reached and ranked 4th.

5 Cheng Yu His brilliance is concentrated in the defense of the three cities of Dong'e, Juancheng, and Fanxian, and his contribution to Cao Cao's successor as a guard captain. In view of the fact that he was appreciated by Cao Cao and urged Cao Cao to be "independent", he was ranked fifth.
