Idiom story

Yang Fu was born in Tianshui during the Three Kingdoms period. Wei Duan, the governor of Liangzhou, sent him as an envoy to Xuchang. When Yang Fu came back, everyone asked him who would win the battle between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao. Yang Fu said, "Yuan Gong is broad and continuous, and he is resourceful but seldom decisive. Although it is strong today, it will not be a major event in the end. There is no doubt that Cao's decision-making machine will be able to use the outsider to do great things. " Later, Cao Cao defeated Ma Chao in Weinan, and Ma Chao fled to Longxi. Cao Cao pursues stability. At this time, Su Bo revolts in Hejian, and Cao Cao is ready to lead the army back to the East. Yang Fu said to Cao Cao, "you have the courage of faith and cloth. You are very brave and have the heart of Qiang and Hu. Xizhou is afraid of it. If the army is not strict enough, the prefectures in Longshang are not part of the state. " This was true later. ——From the biography of Yang Fu in the annals of the Three Kingdoms
