The historical background of Yang Xiu s death, and the specific information of Yang Xiu in history

At that time, Cao Cao was attacking Liu Bei, which was later known as Xishu, and the battlefield at that time was in Hanzhong, which is now Shaanxi.

At that time, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's army confronted each other in the Hanshui area, and Huang Zhong killed Cao Cao's favorite general Xiahou Yuan with a plan in Dingjun Mountain, and Zhuge Liang used a plan to seize Hanzhong, and Cao Cao was very depressed. At this time, Yang Xiu saw through and said the deep meaning of Cao Cao's use of "chicken ribs" as a password, plus Yang Xiu had repeatedly seen through Cao Cao's thoughts before, so Cao Cao used the topic to kill Yang Xiu.

The story of Yang Xiu's death also illustrates the philosophical truth of getting along with the leader, many times don't say the leader's thoughts (even if you see it clearly), just do things according to the leader's intentions.

Cao Cao sent troops to Hanzhong to attack Liu Bei, trapped at the mouth of the sloping valley, wanted to enter the army, but was rejected by Ma Chao, wanted to collect the troops and return to the court, and was afraid of being laughed at by the Shu soldiers, hesitated in his heart, and ran into the cook into chicken soup. Cao saw that there were chicken ribs in the bowl, so he felt it. In the middle of the muttering, Xiahou entered the account and asked for the night slogan.

Cao Cao replied casually: "Chicken ribs!."Chicken ribs!

The edict was issued to all the officials, and they all called it "chicken ribs!".Yang Xiu, the chief secretary of the march, saw the word "chicken ribs", so he taught the accompanying sergeants to pack up and prepare for the return journey. Someone reported that Xiahoudun was informed.

Shocked, he asked Yang Xiu to the tent and asked, "How did the public pack up?"Yang Xiu said

Judging from tonight's order, we can know that the king of Wei will soon withdraw his troops and return to China. Now, the army cannot be victorious, and the retreat is afraid of shame, there is no benefit here, it is better to go back as soon as possible, and tomorrow the King of Wei will inevitably return to the court. So pack your bags first, so as not to panic when you leave.

Xiahoudun said: "You really understand the heart of King Wei!.""Just pack your bags.

So the generals in the army village had nothing to do without going back. After Cao Cao learned of this situation, he summoned Yang Xiu to ask him about the meaning of Yang Xiu's use of chicken ribs. Cao Cao was furious:

How dare you spread rumors and stir up the hearts of the army!Then he ordered the knife and axe man to push Yang Xiu out and behead him, and hung his head outside the gate.

When Cao Cao was at war with Liu Bei, he had too many mouths because of the "chicken ribs" problem! !

Offense: Ma Chao.

Xiahoudun: I saw Yang Xiu threatening to raise troops to return to the city, but he was almost cut down.

Xu Chu: Save Cao Cao.

Pound: Ordered Pound to start a war with Wei Yan and wanted to recruit Wei Yan.

Cao Cao's army was defeated, and he cut his beard and abandoned his robe.

Yang Xiu, whose name is Dezu, is a native of Huayin, Hongnong County, and is now Huayin, Shaanxi, and is a great writer in ancient China.

Yang Xiu was respectful, knowledgeable, extremely intelligent, and was elected as filial piety during the Jian'an period, and soon changed to Langzhong, and later changed the person to the prime minister's mansion Cang Rotten Mountain Cao belonged to the main book. In history, "At that time, the military country was eventful, and the cultivation always knew the outside and the inside, and everything was satisfactory."

Yang Xiu is Yang Zhen's great-great-grandson, Yang Biao's son, and was born in a family of hairpins for generations. Roughly guess the "Book of the Later Han" said that from the shock to Biao, the fourth Taiwei. Eager to learn, handsome, Jian'an was promoted to filial piety, except for Langzhong, and later served as the chief secretary of Prime Minister Cao Cao.

At that time, Cao Cao's military state was troublesome, and Yang Xiu was responsible for internal and external affairs, which was in line with Cao Cao's wishes;and "The World Says New Words: Jie Wu Chapter" contains four things about Yang Xiu's talent, and Cao Cao once sighed that his talent was inferior.

Yang Xiu, Zide, a native of Huayang, Shaanxi, the son of Yang Biao, was born in 175 A.D. and died in 219 A.D., at the age of 44.

Yang Xiu is very talented, and generally speaking, talented people are arrogant. This hides the contradiction of whether it can be used by the king. In Cao Cao's group, Yang Xiu served as the chief secretary of the army, and it should be said that his talent was relied on by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao is a generation of heroes rather than Qiu Ba, he can control the talents of strategists such as Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Jia Xu, etc., as well as the talents of scribes such as Yang Xiu, Chen Lin, and Wang Ji. But this Yang Xiu likes to flaunt himself and play a little clever, that's all, but this kind of person doesn't know each other yet, and he intervened in Cao Cao's heir dispute, so it is inevitable that a "smart" head will roll to the ground. It happened in the final stages of the battle between Wei and Shu Hanzhong.

The Shu soldiers held on to the danger, Wei could not advance, and Cao Cao, the commander of the Wei army, felt a dilemma. Yang Xiu, the chief secretary of Wei's marching army, was in the army at this juncture with "chicken ribs" as the night password, and deduced that Cao Cao had the intention of retiring from the army, so he taught the accompanying sergeants to pack up and prepare for the return journey without asking for instructionsHe also explained the meaning of the word "chicken ribs" to Xiahou, and Xiahou obeyed Yang Xiu's "prophet" and hurriedly packed up. In an instant, the morale of the army was in turmoil.

According to this, Cao Cao's killing of Yang Xiu on the charge of "making words to disrupt the army" can be described as upright and blameless - this person really deserves it. It's a matter of facts, but that's how simple it is.

1. Kuomen incident: Cao Cao once asked someone to build a garden, he didn't give a comment after reading it, only wrote a "live" word on the door of the garden, Yang Xiu saw it, that is, he knew what he meant, and he didn't ask Cao Cao, and ordered someone to repair the door without authorization. Cao Cao's attitude (although he is good on the surface, he is very taboo about cultivation in his heart).

2, a crisp incident: Cao Cao received a crisp, on the box wrote [a crisp], Yang Xiu saw it, so he asked someone to eat the whole box of crisp, Cao Cao asked him to do this for physical strength, he replied: The box says [one person has a mouthful of crisp], how dare the prime minister's order be violated?

Cao Cao's attitude (although he laughed in his heart, he was very jealous of Xiu).

3, murder in a dream: Cao Cao was afraid that someone would assassinate him, so he pretended to say that he was good at killing people in his dream, and even killed a close attendant and pretended to cry bitterly, so as to make an example of him. Cao Cao was disgusted with Yang Xiu.

4. Wu Zhen incident: Cao Pi secretly invited Wu Zhen to enter the inner mansion to discuss Cao Cao's desire to establish a prince, but he was afraid that someone would know, so he used a big curtain to hide Wu Qian, Yang Xiu learned about it and told Cao Cao. Cao thought that Xiu wanted to frame Cao Pi, and he hated Yang Xiu even more.

5, Cao Cao in order to test the talent of his two sons, he asked them to go out of the city gate, and wanted to tell the doorman not to let people out, Yang Xiu taught Cao Zhi, if anyone dared to block, he would kill him, although Cao Zhi succeeded, but Cao Cao knew that Yang Xiu taught, so he didn't like Cao Zhi.

6. Answering incident: Yang Xiu once made more than a dozen answers for Cao Zhi, when Cao Cao asked Cao Zhi every time he asked Cao Zhi about military affairs, Cao Zhi answered like a stream, so Cao Cao was suspicious, and later knew that Yang Xiu was even more disgusted, and had the idea of killing Yang Xiu.

Smart but does not know how to converge, for the superior taboo.

Yang Xiu is too cheap and deserves to die.
