Yang Xiu, whose name is Dezu, is knowledgeable and intelligent, and is a great writer in ancient China. He was an official and filial piety, and later served as Langzhong and the chief bookkeeper.
Regarding Yang Xiu, first of all, I want to say that his death is self-inflicted, and to put it more seriously, it is not only him, but also the great Confucian Kong Rong who was one of the most important in the world at that time, this kind of typical so-called celebrity who is a little clever, Wen can not be in peace, and Wu cannot set the country, except for showing off and belittling others to elevate himself.
Character determines fate! Yang Xiu saw it through, but he also said it thoroughly! Cao Cao is not only a politician, but also a military strategist! Yang Xiu is a literati and can become a politician at most! Sima Yi saw through it and finally succeeded in counterattacking. Yang changed his personality and may become a powerful minister and become Sima Yi, but he can't reach Cao Cao's step by step to the peak of life!
Does Yang Xiu know Cao Cao? Judging from history, scripts, romances and other materials, Yang Xiu has a certain degree of understanding of Cao Cao, but if it comes to the degree, I am afraid it is still not deep, otherwise he will not be killed.
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were more strategists who were stronger than Yang Xiu, not to mention Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others, Xun Yu was an insurmountable mountain, and Sima Yi was even more frontal, these people were not Cao Cao's opponents, let alone a Yang Xiu? Yang Xiu's death, many people say that it is a "chicken rib" thing, but in fact, I am afraid that this is not the case.
In ancient times, the wise people did not participate in the battle for succession, this is the way for the Qi family to protect themselves, with Yang Xiu's intelligence, he should know this, but he did the opposite, and he also planted a disaster for the future. In addition, compared with Sima Yi, Yang Xiu's strength is also a weakness. The fact that the Sima family finally reigned in the world also shows that the power of the scholar clan is far from being able to compete with individuals.
