Biography[]

Wei You is a bit of a footnote. He was a long-time associate of Liu Yu, serving as both an advisor to him and a politician under him. He helped him throughout the Yellow Turban Rebellion, where he also met Gongsun Zan. However, when Zan broke away and later attacked Liu Yu, Wei You sided with his long-time master.

Wei You subscribed to the same school of thought as Liu Yu. Both men wanted to preserve lives and fight as few battles as possible, trying to capture Gongsun Zan. In their eyes, Zan could be made to see reason and could re-unify under Liu Yu. As such, Liu Yu adopted a passive policy in the war with Zan.

However, this "brilliant" passive policy proved to be rather ineffective, as Wei You's position was suddenly overrun. You was captures and later executed. Liu Yu's armies, totally unprepared for a high-paced assault by Zan, scattered all over the place or defected to Zan's side. Yu was rapidly defeated and also executed shortly after.
