Cao Cao racked his brains to get the counselor Xu Shu. Why didn't he reuse it and let him sit on the bench instead?

He who gets talent gets the world. In a sense, the History of the Three Kingdoms is actually a history of talent competition, and it is also a drama in which talents display their talents. At that time, the world was divided, and heroes from all walks of life also emerged at this time.

Among all the princes, Liu Bei's life was full of ups and downs. He was originally a Han clan, but due to the decline of his family, he had to "weave mats and sell shoes for a living" with his mother. In the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty, in the fire of the yellow turban insurrectionary, Liu Bei took the opportunity to occupy a place and began his tortuous and exhausting life journey.

Liu Bei, who has just made his debut, has lived under his classmates Gongsun Zan, Xuzhou pastoral Tao Qian, hero Lu Bu, lean Cao Cao and Hebei overlord Yuan Shao. Shortly after the battle of Guandu broke out, Liu Bei came to Jingzhou. When he arrived in Jingzhou, in the face of Cao Cao's constant encirclement and suppression, Liu Bei was slow and steady, keeping a low profile and seeking people of insight in many ways. At this stage, Xu Shu found that Liu Bei was a man who could do great things. He took the initiative to come over and became Liu Bei's good assistant.

With the help of Xu Shu, Liu Bei became stronger and stronger. Seeing Liu Bei's power grow sturdily, Cao Cao rebelled against Xu Shu and Xu Shu defected to Cao Cao.

However, in the battle of Changbanpo, Liu Bei was defeated. At that time, Xu Shu's mother was hijacked by Jun, Cao Cao wrote a letter to Xu Shu in the name of Xu Shu's mother, and Xu Shu was on pins and needles. Finally, he bid farewell to Liu Bei and went north to Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao racked his brains to get Xu Shu, but he didn't reuse it. Instead, he sat on a bench. What the hell is this for?

He didn't serve the two masters, and Xu Shu insisted on not being used by Cao Cao.

"Xu Shu entered Cao Cao's camp without saying a word", although this is a sentence in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, because his mother was kidnapped and deceived by Cao Cao, after Xu Shu entered Cao Cao's camp, he was thinking about his old club Liu Bei and his good friend Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou. During his days under Liu Bei, Xu Shu helped Liu Bei defeat Cao Cao's attack many times and became one of the key figures in Liu Bei's camp.

Cheng Yu, who is proficient in Cao Cao's calligraphy, writes letters by imitating Xu Shu's mother's handwriting. Seeing the letter, Xu Shu felt a cold wind blowing in his heart. He seemed to see his mother's tears and helplessness. As a son, Xu Shu is the most filial. He left Liu Bei and went to Cao Cao.

A loyal person will not easily change his attitude towards life. "Even if Cao Cao forces me, I will never make plans." Xu Shu said goodbye to Liu Beishi and made a floor.

Silence is a way, but also an attitude towards life. Before Cao Cao, Xu Shu could only choose silence. Even when he was in Battle of Red Cliffs, he saw through Pang Tong's plot, but he didn't remind Cao Cao and kept silent.

In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Luo Guanzhong described Xu Shu in this way because he finally wrote Liu Bei's righteousness very purely, and also to beautify Liu Bei and vilify Cao Cao.

Of course, judging from people's emotions, Cao Cao hijacked Xu Shu's mother. How can Xu Shu have the idea to give him advice and make contributions?

Forcing Xu Shu to defect, he can't be used by Liu Bei, and Cao Cao didn't intend to be used by me.
