Why didn t Xun Yu want Cao Cao to be the emperor, but didn t go to Liu Bei?

I think he thinks that Liu Bei probably doesn't have this qualification, he wants to be loyal to the Eastern Han court, not Liu Bei, at least in the early days, Cao Cao has not yet revealed the idea of wanting to replace the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is to say, he didn't have this idea at the beginning, so Xun Yu's words are estimated not to go to other people, he has this idea, it should be in his old age, this idea is more intense, Liu Bei's words, he didn't have the words of Emperor Han Xian in his hand at the beginning, It is impossible for Xun Yu to return to the Han Xian Emperor.

During the Three Kingdoms period, as Cao Cao's right-hand man, Xun Yu was an idealistic strategist, he was not as loyal to his lord as Cheng Yu, he was loyal to the Han family. In the early days, Cao Cao should have the ideal of supporting the Han family, and Xun Yu can be described as like-minded, of course they came together, but in the end, Cao Cao with the increase in strength, the desire for power swelled sharply, and he began to deviate from his original intention, but Xun Yu did not change, he was still loyal to his Han family, for his own ideals, he and Cao Cao began to disagree, until the king of Wei, they completely turned their faces. Xun Yu had no way to change this environment, so we all knew that he had to commit suicide.

The first reason: Cao Cao had prestige earlier than Liu Bei, and from the beginning, he was indeed loyal to the Han family, Xun Yu's goal was to restore the Han family, and in fact he was also a member of Yuan Shao, but he was not optimistic about Yuan Shao and switched to Cao Cao. In fact, he and Cao Cao are really quite a deed, he is so it is a wise decision to choose Cao Cao to revive the Han family as the goal, Liu Bei for him, as mentioned in other advanced fronts, is actually no different from other warlords (although Liu Bei plays the Han family, but the actual ambition Xun Yu's IQ will not be invisible).

The second reason: In the Han Dynasty, literati and scholars generally did not change hands easily, as if it was related to Confucianism. How can I say this, changing hands is like a woman remarrying, anyway, literati generally don't like to do this, it's a bit out of modesty.

Although the end of the Han Dynasty was very chaotic, and many military generals changed hands, most of the literati from famous families generally did not change hands. Probably it has something to do with education and traditional thinking.

The third reason is that the monarch of the Han Dynasty at that time was the emperor!! Liu Bei is just a distant relative, can't because his surname is Liu, as if he is orthodox and official, right? There are more people surnamed Liu, Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, and even Liu Yu, who Yuan Shao raised troops to set up, so many, do you have to take refuge one by one?

Liu Bei's debut was under the banner of Uncle Liu Huang. It may have appeal among the lower classes, but the powerful men who have stood for a hundred years will sneer at it, and their regime is in a corner of peace and has no strategic depth, so they are not favored by it. Therefore, even if Liu Bei is under the banner of Han orthodoxy, the orthodox emperor is in the hands of Cao Cao, and Xun Yu has to plan for Cao Wei.

Obviously, Xun Yu's eyes only recognized Emperor Xian. Cao Cao is the Son of Heaven, although the Son of Heaven has no real power, but it is much better than the days when he fled and was robbed and robbed. Thinking about it carefully, Xun Yu stayed in the rear many times, stayed in Xuchang, and stayed with the Son of Heaven.

This is also one of the manifestations of his loyalty to the Han Dynasty. Just like Liu Bei's conquest of Jingzhou, although Zhuge Liang felt that it was not okay in his heart, he was the representative of the interests of those people in Jingzhou, so he could not openly oppose it. When their decision is related to the survival of many people, it is impossible to make a choice easily, if Xun Yu supports Cao Cao as king, it is undoubtedly a denial of what he has done for decades, and the price of personality is too great.

Even Cao Cao, I'm afraid he will despise him.
