He has his father why this has happened. Cao Cao explains to Zi Huan that Yang Xiu is very important chess piece. He teaches him 3 important concepts.

#1 - during chaotic times, you need to use people based on talent and not morals. Yang Xiu is exceptionally smart and rare.

#2 - Yang Xiu can suppress internal opposition because he is the son of Yang Biao, the leader of Han loyal officials. With Yang Xiu at Cao Cao's side, Han Loyal officials will fear Yang Biao's betrayal and reduce contact with him. Yang Biao will also not be as daring with his son's life at Cao Cao's mercy.

#3 - Yang Xiu is also Yuan Shao's nephew, which makes him the best person to communicate with Yuan Shao.
