Xu you
Xu you? He was born in Nanyang (now Nanyang City, Henan Province). He used to be a counselor under Yuan Shao's account. During the Guandu war, his family was arrested for breaking the law.

Life of the characters
Plan to abolish the spirit Emperor
Xu you had a long history of friendship with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao when he was young.
In 184 ad (the first year of Zhongping), Xu you, together with Wang Fen, the governor of Jizhou, and Zhou Jing of Pei state, attempted to abolish Hanling emperor and establish Marquis of Hefei as emperor, and tried to persuade Cao Cao to join in. However, Cao Cao refused. Wang Fen wanted to take advantage of Hanling emperor's northern patrol to send troops to prevent Heishan bandits, so as to cause trouble. Finally, Hanling emperor called him to the court. Wang Fen was afraid and committed suicide. Xu you fled Death.
Take refuge in Yuan Shao
In 189 ad (the first year of Yonghan Dynasty), Yuan Shao fled from Dong Zhuo and went to Jizhou. Xu you followed him and became Yuan Shao's counselor, urging him to unite with Cao Cao.
In 199 A.D. (the fourth year of Jian'an), Yuan Shao attacked Gongsun Zan, annexed Youzhou, and occupied the four prefectures with hundreds of thousands of people. He planned to attack Xudu with Tian Feng, Xun Chen, and Xu you as the chief officers, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou as the generals.
Rebel against Cao Cao
In 200 A.D. (the fifth year of Jian'an), Cao Cao and Yuan Shaoshi fought each other. Xu you said, "Cao Cao's troops were few, but he concentrated all his strength to resist our army. Xu Du was guarded by the rest of the people, and the defense must be empty. If a team was sent to advance lightly and attack all night, Xu Du could be captured. After the occupation of Xudu, he would welcome the emperor to attack Cao Cao, and he would be able to catch Cao Cao. If he doesn't break up immediately, he can't balance the head and the tail, and he is tired of running, he will be defeated. " Yuan Shao disagreed and said, "I must catch Cao Cao first." At this time, someone in Xu you's family broke the law. The judge who stayed in Yecheng arrested them. Xu you was furious when he knew about it, so he went to Cao Cao.
When Cao Cao heard that Xu you was coming, he went out to greet him with bare feet and said happily, "Ziyuan is here. Great things can be done!" Please take a seat again. Xu you asked, "how long can your army's military provisions last?" Cao Cao replied, "I can support it for another year." Xu you said, "how can there be so many? Seriously Cao Cao replied, "we can still support it for half a year." Xu you said, "don't you want to defeat Yuan Shao? Why not tell the truth? " Cao Cao said, "I'm just joking with you. In fact, military provisions are only available this month." Xu you offered his advice and said, "today mengde is alone, without reinforcements or food. This is a crisis. Now yuan's army has grain in WuChao. Although there are soldiers, they are not on guard. As long as they send light soldiers to attack WuChao and burn its grain and grass, Yuan's army will be defeated in three days
Burning black nest
Cao Cao was overjoyed after listening to the plan. He chose elite soldiers to disguise himself as Yuan Jun, and Ma Hanmei. The soldiers set out to WuChao with firewood. When other people asked questions, they all answered, "Yuan Shao is afraid of Cao Cao's surprise attack, so he sent us to guard." Yuan Jun did not doubt that there was fraud, so he let it pass. After arriving at WuChao, Cao's army set fire, caused chaos in the camp, destroyed yuan's army, burned all the food and grass, cut off the heads of Sui Yuanjin, Han Juzi, LV Weihuang and Zhao Rui, cut off Chunyu Qiong's nose, killed more than 1000 soldiers, cut off all their noses, and sent them to Yuan's army with the tongues of cattle and horses. Yuan's soldiers were shocked. Chunyuqiong was captured by Cao general lejin and brought to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao asked Chunyu Qiong, "what's the cause of your success today?" Chunyu Qiong replied: "the victory is controlled by heaven. What do you want me to do?" Cao Cao wants to keep Chunyu Qiong alive. Xu you admonishes him: "in the future, he will look in the mirror (see his nose cut) and never forget today's (shame and hatred)" After listening, Cao Cao agreed to kill Chunyu Qiong.
After WuChao was lost, Zhang Ying and Gao Lan, who were attacking Cao's camp, surrendered. Yuan's army collapsed completely. Yuan Shao fled back to Hebei with only 800 cavalry, and Cao Cao won a complete victory.
He was killed on merit
In the seventh year of Jian'an (202), Yuan Shao died of illness. After that, his two sons, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, fought against each other for the position.
In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Cao Cao conquered Yecheng and occupied Jizhou. Xu you made great contributions. However, Xu you, relying on his high achievements, despised Cao Cao many times. Every time he attended, regardless of the occasion, he called Cao Cao's nickname and said, "ah man, you can't get Jizhou without me." On the surface, Cao Cao laughed and said, "you are right." But I have a bad feeling in my heart. Once, Xu you went out of the east gate of Yecheng and said to the left and right, "this family can't enter this gate without me." Someone reported to Cao Cao, so Xu you was detained and killed.
Main achievements
Under the command of Yuan Shao, he urged Yuan Shao to unite with Cao Cao. After Yuan Cao broke up, he betrayed Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu and offered Cao Cao a plan to burn the black nest, which enabled Cao Cao to turn defeat into victory.
Historical evaluation
Yuan Shu: "Xu Ziyuan is a fierce prostitute. His sexual behavior is not pure."
Kong Rong: "Tian Feng and Xu you are wise people."
Xun Yu: "Xu you is greedy but not cured."
Hu Zong: "in the past, Xu Ziyuan gave up yuan to Cao. He planned and cared about Cao. He should accept and accept them. So he broke yuan's army and determined Cao's career. If you don't believe in your son, if you are suspicious and hesitant, and if you don't want to be determined, you are going down to the yuan family today. "
Sima Guang said: "in the past, the Zhou Dynasty was ruled by the Weizi, the Qin Dynasty was ruled by Yu, the Wu Kingdom was ruled by Wu, the Han Dynasty was ruled by Chen Ping, the Wei Dynasty was ruled by Xu you, and Yuan Shao was defeated. The enemy's talents and ministers were used for their own use, and they were the good assets of enterprise."
Luo Guanzhong: "I can laugh at Xu you in Nanyang. I want to be proud of the king with my heart. If I don't think about Cao Cao, I will get Jizhou. "
He Zhuo: "Xu you betrayed his country and asked for credit, especially the villains, who were treated very quickly."
