Life of the characters

Early experience

Wang Xiu died of his mother when he was seven years old. His mother died on the day of the commune day. The next year, the neighbors offered sacrifices to gods on the commune day. Wang Xiu missed his mother because of his feelings, which was very sad. The neighbors heard his cry, so they stopped offering sacrifices to the gods. At the age of 20, Wang Xiu went to Nanyang to study and stayed with Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng's whole family was ill and no one went to see them. Wang Xiu pitied them and took care of them himself. He didn't leave until they were well.

Help Kong Rong

During the reign of Chu Ping, Kong Rong of Beihai summoned him to serve as the chief bookkeeper and the agent of Gao Mi Ling. Sun Shi Su, a member of Gaomi, has been a knight errant for many times. There were robberies among the people. When the thieves entered the sun clan, the officials were unable to catch them. Wang Xiu led the officials and servants to surround the sun family. The sun family resisted the defense, and the officials and servants were afraid to approach. Wang Xiu ordered them: "anyone who dares not to attack will be punished together with the thief." Sun was afraid, so he handed over the robber. From then on, the local tyrants were afraid to give in. Wang Xiu was elected Xiaolian. He gave it to Bing yuan, but Kong Rong didn't agree. At that time, the whole world was in turmoil, and the matter of recommending filial piety and honesty stopped. Soon there were rebels in the county. When Wang Xiu heard that Kong Rong was in danger, he rushed to Kong Rong overnight. When the bandits just started, Kong Rong said to the people around him, "Wang Xiu is the only one who can help me in danger." As soon as the words were finished, Wang Xiu arrived. Later, Wang Xiu served as a meritorious Cao. At that time, there were many bandits in Jiaodong, and Kong Rong ordered Wang Xiu to be the magistrate of Jiaodong. The gongshalu clan of Jiaodong people was strong, so they set up their own camp trenches and refused to listen to the dispatch of the government. Wang Xiu led several people on horseback to gongshalu's house and killed several brothers of gongshalu. Gongshalu's people were shocked and shocked, and no one dared to act. Wang Xiu appeased the rest of the people, and since then the bandits gradually stopped. Every time Kong Rong was in danger, Wang Xiu would not arrive immediately even if he was resting at home. Kong Rong often relied on Wang Xiu to avoid disaster.

Rescuing Yuan Tan

When Yuan Tan was in Qingzhou, he enlisted Wang Xiu to work in governing China. He did not drive Liu Xian to slander Wang Xiu several times. Later, Liu Xian was sentenced to death. Wang Xiu tried the case and Liu Xian was saved from death. At that time, people praised Wang Xiu more. Yuan Shao recruited Wang Xiu to be the magistrate of Jimo County, and later served as the other driver under Yuan Tan. In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Yuan Shao died of illness. Because of the false order of Yuan Shao, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang gradually became estranged. In the eighth year of Jian'an (203), Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang began to fight each other. They fought at the gate of the outer city of Liyang. Yuan Tan was defeated and led his troops back to Nanpi. Wang Xiu led officials to rescue Yuan Tan. Yuan Tan said happily, "the person who helps my army is Wang Biejia." When Yuan Tan was defeated, Liu Xun set up troops in Luoyin, and all the cities responded. Yuan Tan sighed and said, "now the whole state has betrayed me. Is it because I don't talk about morality?" Wang Xiu said: "although the governor of Donglai is far away from overseas, this man will not rebel. He will definitely come." Ten days later, Guan Tong left his wife and son and came to Yuantan. His wife and son were killed by the traitors. Yuan Tan changed Guantong to the governor of Le'an. Yuan Tan wanted to attack yuan Shang again, and Wang Xiu advised him to say, "brothers attack each other repeatedly. This is the road to failure and extinction." But Tan was not happy to understand him. Later, Yuan Tan asked Wang Xiu, "what strategies can I use?" "Brothers are like one's left and right hands," Wang said. For example, when a person is about to fight with others, he cuts off his right hand and says, "I will win." is that ok? Abandon the brothers, not close to each other, the world who can be close! There are slanders in your subordinates. They have been fighting among your brothers in order to get benefits one day. I'd like to tell you plainly: close your ears and don't listen to them. If we can kill several treacherous and sycophantic subordinates and make our brothers get close to each other again, so as to resist the enemies in all directions, we can rely on this to run rampant in the world. " Yuan Tan did not listen. Yuan Shang personally led his troops to attack Yuan Tan, who was defeated and held fast around the city. Yuan Shang was besieged with his life. Yuan Tan fled to the plain and sent Xinpi to ask Cao Cao for help.

Incomparable loyalty

After Cao Cao conquered Jizhou, Yuan Tan betrayed Cao Cao again. Cao Cao then led the army to attack Yuan Tan in Nanpi. Wang Xiu was delivering food in Le'an at this time. He heard that Yuan Tan was in danger. He led his soldiers and his subordinates to Yuan Tan to rush there. When he arrived in Gaomi County, hearing the news that Yuan Tan had died, Wang Xiu got off his horse and burst into tears, saying, "where can I go without you?" So he went to Cao Cao and asked him to bury Yuan Tan's body. Cao Cao wanted to observe Wang Xiu's sincerity and kept silent. Wang Xiu also said, "I have received yuan's kindness. If I can collect Yuan Tan's body and then let me die, I will not regret it." Cao Cao praised his loyalty and obeyed him. Cao Cao asked Wang Xiu to serve as governor of the army and return to Le'an. After Yuan Tan was defeated, every city in the prefecture obeyed Cao Cao, but Guan Tong held Le'an, unwilling to obey. Cao Cao ordered Wang Xiu to take the head of Guantong. Because Guantong was a loyal minister to the subjugation, Wang Xiu untied his bondage and let him see Cao Cao. Cao Cao was happy and pardoned him. Yuan's policy was lenient, and most of the powerful people in office accumulated wealth. Cao Cao conquered Yecheng, seized and confiscated tens of thousands of wealth of trial and match people. When Nanpi County was conquered and Wang Xiu's family was inspected, there were only a few hundred volumes of books. Cao Cao sighed: "Wang Xiu as a scholar is really worthy of the name." Therefore, he appointed Wang Xiu as Sikong Yao, acting as the general of Si Jin Zhonglang, and moved to Wei Prefecture.

restrain the powerful and help the weak

Wang Xiu was praised by the common people for his governance of government affairs, restraining the powerful and helping the weak. In the 18th year of Jian'an (213), Wang Xiu was granted the title of the chief physician. When Cao Cao wanted to carry out corporal punishment, Wang Xiu thought that the time was not allowed, and Taizu adopted his suggestion. The king of Diao was cultivated and worshipped. Later Yan just rebelled and attacked the side door of the palace with dozens of his subordinates. When Wang Xiu heard about the mutiny, he led the officials to the palace gate before the chariots and horses arrived. Taizu looked at them from the bronze platform and said, "the man who came must be Wang Shuzhi." The prime minister Zhong Yao said to Wang Xiu, "in the past, when the capital was in trouble, the nine Qing officials lived in their respective places and did not leave." Wang Xiu said: "how can we avoid the crisis of the country if we depend on the salary of the country? Although the residence and guarding government is an old system, it is not in line with the great righteousness of going to danger. " Soon, Wang Xiu died in office. Its tomb is 40 Li south of Anqiu City.

Historical evaluation

Chen Shou: first, the cultivation of knowledge is more flexible than the weak crown. The different kings are based on young children, and they are all far away in the end. ② In order to govern, restraining the strong and supporting the weak, rewards and punishments, people call it. ③ Tian Chou's resistance and Wang Xiuzhong's loyalty are enough to rectify the vulgarity. Kong Rong: if you can take risks, only Wang Xiuer! Cao Cao: you are a man of virtue. You are loyal to the state. You are a man of virtue. You are a man of honor. I know you in my heart. I know you very well. Xue Ji: Jiuqing lived in the mansion, Wang Xiu was willing to go to the disaster; the two countries were surrounded, and there was no loss of words in the road. Mao Zonggang: Xu you, Wang Xiu. At the same time, Xu you helped Cao Mou yuan, while Wang Xiu could not bear to help Cao Mou yuan. Wang Xiuxian was far away from Xu you. It can't be indistinguishable.
