所以这一仗应该说是曹操和张绣打了个平手，但是曹操这回没有骄傲，他又向他的军事祭酒荀攸做检讨，说不听先生之言以至于此。而袁绍呢，袁绍没有接受田丰的建议，他没有去偷袭许都，所以对于曹操来说这是一场虚惊。尽管如此，曹操还是总结经验，奖励那些给自己提意见的人，感谢那些劝阻他不要打这一仗的人。这就是曹操后来能够成功的一个重要的原因：就是每打一仗，打败了检讨自己，打胜了感谢别人。后来曹操去征乌桓的时候，也是打胜了仗的，但是是险胜，当时他从乌桓撤军的时候天寒地冻，军中没有一粒粮食、一滴水，所以胜得非常艰险，打胜了仗回到朝中曹操下了个命令，给我查一查当时谁反对我打乌桓？全部要查出来。命令一下以后人人自危，因为这一仗是打胜了的；谁知道曹操一个一个地重奖，谢谢你们提醒，这一仗侥幸胜利，而诸位反对我打这一仗的(是)长远之计，我曹操不该存侥幸之心，你们的意见是对的，虽然我打胜了。后来曹操又发布褒奖令，说我曹操南征北战，取得了这么多胜利，难道都是我的功劳吗？是诸位的功劳。有了成绩归功于别人，有了错误责备自己，尽管检讨得不到位，这在那个时代就是了不起的肚量。而且正因为曹操的这种大度和这种胸襟，他才吸引了那么多的人才，他才取得那么多的胜利，而且以至于在建安四年十一月那个投降了他、又背叛了他、又和他打了三仗的张绣主动来投降了，真的投降了，张绣这一次投降又是贾诩的主意。
Therefore, this battle should be said to be a tie between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu, but Cao Cao was not proud this time. He also made a review of his military offering, Xun You, and said that he did not listen to your words, leading to this. As for Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao did not accept Tian Feng’s suggestion and did not sneak in on Xu Du, so it was a false alarm for Cao Cao. Despite this, Cao Cao summarized his experience, rewarded those who gave him advice, and thanked those who discouraged him from fighting this battle. This is an important reason why Cao Cao was able to succeed later: he defeated and reviewed himself every time he fought, and thanked others for winning. Later, when Cao Cao went to conquer Wuhuan, he also won the battle, but it was a narrow victory. When he withdrew from Wuhuan, the weather was cold and the ground was freezing, and there was not a grain of grain or a drop of water in the army. Therefore, the victory was very difficult and dangerous. After winning the battle, Cao Cao returned to the central court and issued an order to check with me who was opposed to my fight against Wuhuan at that time? Find out everything. After an order, everyone is in danger, because this battle was won; “Who knows that Cao Cao is rewarded one by one? Thank you for reminding me that this battle was won by chance, and you are opposed to my long-term plan to fight this battle. I, Cao Cao, should not have taken chances. Your opinion is correct, although I won.”. Later, Cao Cao issued a commendation order, saying that I, Cao Cao, had won so many victories in the wars, was it all my credit? Thanks to all of you. Giving credit to others for achievements, blaming oneself for mistakes, even if the review is not in place, was a great capacity in that era. And it was precisely because of Cao Cao’s generosity and broad-mindedness that he attracted so many talents and achieved so many victories. Moreover, in November of the fourth year of Jian’an, Zhang Xiu, who surrendered to him, betrayed him, and fought three wars with him, voluntarily surrendered, and truly surrendered. Zhang Xiu’s surrender was Jia Xu’s idea again.
＊在前面的讲述中我们知道，张绣有过投降曹操后又背叛的经历，还在乱军中杀死了曹操的儿子曹昂、侄子草安民，还有曹操的爱将典韦。按照常理推测，曹操这个时候应该对张绣恨之入骨，贾诩为什么还敢出主意让张绣投降曹操，张绣为什么真的听从了贾诩的建议，事情的经过究竟是怎样的呢？
In the previous story, we know that Zhang Xiu had the experience of surrendering to Cao Cao and then betraying him. She also killed Cao Cao’s son, Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and Cao Cao Cao’s beloved general, Dian Wei, in the chaos of the army. According to common sense, Cao Cao should have a deep hatred for Zhang Xiu at this time. Why did Jia Xu dare to come up with an idea to let Zhang Xiu surrender to Cao Cao? Why did Zhang Xiu really listen to Jia Xu’s suggestion, and what exactly happened?
