Who was the famous counselor who saved Cao Pi and gained insight into Cao Cao's mind in the Three Kingdoms?

There were many talented people in the Three Kingdoms, and all three countries had powerful advisers, such as Shu, Zhou of Wu and Sima Yi of Wei. When it comes to being able to read the master's mind, we often think of Yang Xiu. Yes, Yang Xiu did have some skills, but he was too indulgent, so he lost his life. Sima Yi was not with Cao Cao at that time. If so, he certainly knows what Cao Cao's chicken ribs mean, but he will never say it.

Yang Xiu felt very powerful, so he had to show off in front of Cao Cao. As a result, he put his own life in. In Wei Dynasty, there was an adviser who could not only read Cao Cao's mind, but also saved Cao Pi's life, but his fate was much worse than that of Yang Xiuxiu. Who is this man? His name is Cheng Yu, and he defected to Cao Cao in his early years. Unlike Yu Xun Guo Jia, Cheng Yu was invited by Cao Cao to work for him directly. He's not Chen Han.

When we watch The Romance of The Three Kingdoms, whether it is a TV series or a novel, Cheng Yu is a person who looks very kind and has a feeling of being at peace with the world, but in real history, Cheng Yu is not. According to the records in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Cheng Yu is very grumpy and strong-willed, so he can't get sand in his eyes, so many people and Cheng Yu are not very good, but Cao Cao appreciates Cheng Yu very much for only one reason, and that is because Cheng clearly knows Cao Cao's mind.

We know from one thing that there were rebels in Hejian County, Hebei Province at that time, but Cao Cao didn't have time to take care of these people at that time, so Cao Pi stepped forward to counter the rebels, and some rebels surrendered for their lives, so Cao Pi discussed with the ministers how to deal with these defeated troops. Many people think they should be killed, but Cheng Yu doesn't think so. He said that the master had killed traitors before because the situation in the world was not stable enough, and now is not the time for unrest. The forces in the world have already split up and should not kill traitors.

Later, Cheng Yu said that if you want to kill, you must get the instructions from the master. But others insisted on killing, so Cheng Yu stopped talking. Later, there was no result in this matter. Xelloss summoned Cheng Yu privately. Cheng Yu said that the rebels were already turtles in a jar. If the son is good at claiming compensation, he may make his master dissatisfied. Xelloss suddenly realized and asked Cao Cao how to deal with the rebels. Sure enough, Cao Cao said not to kill the rebels. Imagine if Cao Pi listened to other ministers, would he die? At least there will be something xelloss doesn't want to see. So after Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor, Cheng Yu was placed in the third place, and Cheng Yu died at the age of 80.
