There is a passage in Guo's Wei and Jin Dynasties: "Cao Cao was short of food at the beginning, so he neglected his county to provide three meals, which was quite confusing." Because he lost hope, he is not in public office. "

Cheng Yu seized food in his own county (Dong 'e County) and supplied Cao Jun with food for three days, including many human flesh. From then on, Cheng Yu lost his prestige in the imperial court and could not rank in the three fairs.
