Who are Cao Cao's five advisers?

Cao Cao's five advisers were Yu Xun, Xun You, Jia Xu, Cheng Yu and Guo Jia.

Yu Xun 1

For Cao Cao, Yu Xun is a rare talent. Because Yu Xun pacified Yuan Shao, who was stronger than Cao Cao, and was later honored as "my ovary" by Cao Cao, it was enough to show that Cao Cao attached importance to Xun.

2. Xun You

Xun You is Yu Xun's nephew. Xun You is cautious and low-key. He can come up with various strategies and flexible battlefield strategies. He is a brave and extraordinary man, deeply appreciated by Cao Cao.

3. Jia Xu

Jia Xu's important position in the history of the Three Kingdoms and Jia Xu's stratagem were good at grasping people's hearts and attacking the enemy by the most poisonous means, so he was a "poisonous person" around Cao Cao at that time.

4. Cheng Yu

Cheng Yu was a famous soldier in the Warring States Period. He is famous for his courage, not for his tricks. Although he is not a complete counselor, but a general, he is also appreciated by Cao Cao.

5. Guo Jia

The man was favored by Cao Cao as soon as he entered the military camp. The most famous story is that he put forward the tactical thought of "Three Ones" to Cao Cao. Cao Cao is very satisfied.

Cao Cao's literary image;

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Cao Cao showed various personality characteristics in Historical Records. Shi Shuo Xin Yu written by Liu Yiqing in the Southern Dynasties not only affirmed Cao Cao's intelligent and witty character, but also increased his cruel and jealous character weakness.

Since the Tang Dynasty, Cao Cao has become a villain in the art of rap, novel and opera with the history of the Three Kingdoms as the theme. In these folk art works, there is a very distinct tendency of "supporting Liu and opposing Cao", which highlights Cao Cao's treacherous, cruel and untrustworthy side. By the time of Luo Guanzhong's novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms in the Ming Dynasty, he not only consulted historical records, but also collected folk stories, and wrote on the basis of many popular commentaries and dramas.

Cao Cao in Romance of the Three Kingdoms became the artistic model of "the first adulterer in history".
