Xu You and Tian Feng are both counselors, who is worse?

On strategy alone, I think Tian Feng is better than Xu You.

First of all, although Xu You knows everything, there are only a few real strategies in essence.

Xu You is a knowledgeable person who has been familiar with classics since childhood. Xu You did a stupid thing when he was in Emperor Han Ling. He and Wang Fen, the secretariat of Jizhou, wanted to abolish Emperor Han Ling and assassinate him. The result was exposed. Wang Fen committed suicide and Xu You escaped. Although Emperor Han Ling was incompetent at that time, he was still orthodox, and the rebellion of the Han clan did not end well. Liu Ying is a lesson from the past. Xu You cannot accomplish the great cause by Wang Fen alone, which is short-sighted.

The two most important things in Xu You's history are that he persuaded Yuan Shao to attack Xu Capital directly and took the son of heaven from Yuan Shao to see the emperor. But Yuan Shao wouldn't listen. Yuan Shao wants to destroy Cao Cao first, and then meet Feng to prove his strength. Second, in the battle of Guandu, Xu You's family made a mistake in Yecheng and was imprisoned by Shen Pei. Xu You was very angry and took refuge in Cao Cao. Later, he offered a plan to burn his nest and helped Cao Cao win the battle of Guandu.

Xu You put forward a plan to burn the nest. In my personal opinion, this does not explain too much about this person's strategy. Xu You was the first counselor who followed Yuan Shao, and he mastered a lot of military information of Yuan Shao. The Wu Dynasty was the gathering place of Yuan Shao's grain and grass. This is also one of the news. I can only say that Xu You made suggestions based on intelligence. After that, Xu You didn't make any contribution, and finally he was executed by Cao Cao, because he often mentioned the contribution of this matter.

Second, Tian Feng is very talented, but Yuan Shao is not necessarily.

Tian Feng was originally Han Fu's subordinate, but later he took refuge in Yuan Shao. Lombardi can win Gongsun Zan, because of the counsel of Tian Feng. On the eve of the battle of Guandu, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou. At that time, Tian Feng advised Yuan Shao to attack Xuchang directly, but Yuan Shao refused on the grounds that his youngest son was ill and had no intention of fighting. If Yuan Shao takes Tian Feng's advice, then Yuan Shao may win.

In fact, Tian Feng was opposed to Yuan Shao's launching the battle of Guandu, and Tian Feng advocated a protracted war against Cao Cao. Sending troops to harass Cao Cao kept him busy. Within three years, Cao Cao will fail. The cost of protracted war is small and the profit is high, but it's a pity that Yuan Shao won't listen. Tian Feng was jailed, and Tian Feng was finally defeated and killed. Personally, I think Xu You's strategy is not as good as Tian Feng's.
