Who is Xu Zhao and Cao Cao in Romance of the Three Kingdoms ?

Wu County Taishou (the county placed by Ji County of the Later Han Branch, the place of governance is now Wu County, Jiangsu) called Xu Gong, the secret Han Emperor, saying that Sun Ce was brave and similar to Xiang Ji, and he should be recalled earlier, and he should not be allowed to stay outside the river, which will cause trouble. Sun Ce was determined to divide one side, and when he heard the news, he was very unhappy, so he killed Xu Gong. Xu Gong's doormen, there are a few people lurking in the people, wanting to avenge Xu Gong.

Sun Ce likes hunting the most, and the horses he rides are so good that no one can follow him. This time he went out hunting, and when he met Xu Gong's doormen, he wounded them, and died soon after he returned.

Judging from the records of the "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", Xu Gong not only had a bad character, but also had harmful intentions towards Sun Ce. Xu Gong had earlier served as a lieutenant under Wu County Taishou Shengxian, and later, when he got a position for himself, he actually wanted to attack his original boss Sheng Xian. Fortunately, the above-mentioned Gao Dai hid Sheng Xian in the house of Xu Zhao, the Yuhang clan, and Sheng Xian was able to save his life.

Zhou Ang was defeated by Wu Jing and Sun Ben and fled to Wu County, but Xu Gong killed him for no apparent reason. Not only that, Xu Gong, as a taishou, has always had an unclear relationship with Yan Baihu, the leader of the bandits in the territory.

Sun Ce invaded Wu County and first sent his subordinate Zhu Zhi to defeat Xu Gong, who had to defect to Yan Baihu. Later, Yan Baihu was also defeated by Sun Ce, and Xu Gong and Yan Baihu defected to Yuhang Xu Zhao together. Cheng Pu asked Sun Ce to send troops to attack Xu Zhao, but Sun Ce said:

Xu Zhao is righteous to the old king, sincere to the old friend, and the ambition of this husband. (Pei Songzhi explained here: Xu Zhao is righteous to the old monarch, and he is called Ji Shengxian, see the following note.)

If you are sincere to your old friends, you will be subject to strict white tigers. "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Shu, Sun Ce's Biography").

Sun Ce gave up the use of troops and switched to the method of surrender, and soon Xu Zhao, together with Xu Gong, Sheng Xian, and Yan Baihu, had to surrender. Xu Gong's name was annexed, but he plotted to overthrow Sun Ce, and he quietly played the emperor (in fact, it was Cao Cao) and said, "Sun Ce is a hero, similar to Xiangji, it is advisable to add noble favors and recall Jingyi." If it is edicted, it has to be returned, and if it is put outside, it will be a disaster for the world.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Shu, Biography of Sun Ce) accidentally fell into the hands of Sun Ce, so Sun Ce had to have Xu Gong hanged.

Xu Gong's plan was very insidious, nominally to let Sun Ce enter Beijing as an official, but in fact, Cao Cao had already regarded Sun Ce as a thorn in his side, but he just had no time to look east for a while. If this performance is really approved by Cao Cao, Sun Ce will be rebellious if he does not go to Beijing, and if he goes to Beijing, he will be harmed by Cao Cao sooner or later. Sun Ce killed Xu Gong at this time, and it was purely Xu Gong's knife that was already on his neck.

Cao Cao's employment policy 1: name to reality is more important The first relationship is "name and reality". We know that there are celebrities in the world, there are also capable people, celebrities and capable people are not the same concept, famous people do not necessarily have ability, there are many people who have ability, he may not necessarily have fame, he may be unknown.

Then you have an option when it comes to recruiting talent,..

Cao Cao is handsome and violent, Liwan is grass-resistant, not bad, not bad.

When Cao Cao was a micro, he often spoke humbly and courteously, asking for his own eyes. He despised his people and refused to be right, and he was forced to coerce him, and he had no choice but to say: "Jun Qingping's traitor, the hero of troubled times." ”

Xu Shao commented on Cao Cao"A hero in troubled times, a traitor who rules the world"
