The breakup between Xun Yu and Cao Cao, an alliance of military advisers, is the fifteenth episode. The plot is as follows:

At Sima Yi's request, late at night, I asked your Xun Yu to see Cao Cao. Xun Yu admonished Cao Cao with "one public interest and one selfishness" and asked him to handle the case of Sima Men impartially.

Xun Yu was deeply moved by Cao Cao, a famous public official twenty years ago, and Wang Wei today, and he said that he could go with Cao Cao himself. It's hard to walk hand in hand with Cao Cao.

Looking at Xun Yu, which was deserted, Cao Cao was very depressed. He crouched on a book full of cases and said bitterly, "The whole world misjudged me, Cao Mengde!" Because of their different beliefs, the confidants, who were deeply affectionate and righteous, broke completely and went to opposition.

The reason why Cao Cao and Xun Yu broke up:

After Cao Cao won the battle of Guandu and pacified the north, his mind began to change. As a minister at that time, Xun Yu actually tried to slow down Cao Cao's centralization. However, with the passage of time, the power in Cao Cao's hands was large enough.

Cao Cao didn't have the idea of overstepping at first, so Xun Yu naturally wouldn't fall out with Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao developed so fast that Xun Yu couldn't stop it, which led to Xun Yu's final martyrdom, hoping to stop Cao Cao's promotion. Only then did they break up completely.
