Chapter 452: Yuan Shu's Weakness
"Yuan Highway is now strong and powerful, what is his fatal weakness?" Cao Cao asked.
"Being strong is a fatal heel in itself." Xun Yu smiled and said, "Especially for an indecisive person like Yuan Shu. Pride and indecisiveness will make Yuan Shu make a huge mistake! Moreover, Yuan Shu has many layouts, with a long battle line and many enemies. In addition, the benevolence of his wife is not ruthless enough, and he looks forward and backward in case of trouble, even if he completely occupies the general trend, he will have a chance to turn the tables. ”
"And compared to Yuan Shu, we are not completely at a disadvantage, and we have a lot of advantages."
"What are our strengths?"
Xun Yu bowed and said: "First, the wisdom of the lord is far better than Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is indecisive, and the lord is wise and decisive. The benevolence of the Yuan Shu woman, the benevolence of the lord. Yuan Shu is unknown, and the name of the lord is right. Yuan Shu doesn't know what the soldiers want, and the main public soldiers are like gods. ”
As soon as Xun Yu's words came out, Cao Cao suddenly felt comfortable, as if he had just finished a sauna. was hit too badly before, and was suddenly praised by Xun Yu, Cao Cao was a little fluttering. He does think that Yuan Shu is inferior to himself in many places, except for internal affairs, whether it is Wen Taowu Strategy or the way of the Emperor, he is stronger than Yuan Shu, but he can't stand his good background, so he is ahead step by step and occupies such a big advantage.
Xun Yu didn't care about Cao Cao's thoughts at all, and then said: "Second, Yuan Shu is powerful and upright, and his allies Lu Bu and Gongsun Zhan are not British lords. On the contrary, the lord and Yuan Shao were allies and close to each other, and when the lord unified the Central Plains, Yuan Shao unified Hebei, and fought against the enemy with the strength of both sides, even if Yuan Shu's soldiers were many generals, it was difficult to resist. ”
Third, there are many families and merchants under Yuan Shu. Now that Yuan Shu is powerful, these people will naturally let him wave his arms, but once we stalemate with them and show the strength that is not inferior to the other party, these people will definitely not be willing to obediently submit to it, and then these people will not only not be able to become their arm strength, but will restrain Yuan Shu's energy. ”
"Fourth, Yuan Highway has been too smooth all the way and has not experienced failure. Therefore, his mind is not as tenacious as the lord, and if he experiences a big defeat, he is likely to collapse, just like Xiang Yu back then. ”
"Fifth, Yuan Lulu's heirs are cowardly and have no successors. His age is nearly forty, his sister-in-law Yuan Yao is incompetent, but the righteous Sun Ce is extremely brave, and there are many people who follow him and have the talent of a monarch and the talent of a hidden dragon. If anything happens to Yuan Shu, Jiangdong will inevitably split. ”
"Therefore, as long as we can compete with Yuan Shu for a while, the situation will inevitably be reversed. Many unsettling factors under Yuan Shu's command will become a good opportunity for us to turn the tables at that time. Xun Yu's eyes lit up, obviously his words were not thought up overnight, but planned for many days.
Cao Cao before the Battle of Guandu in history faced Yuan Shao with a huge disparity in strength, and Guo Jia was at that time to sacrifice ten victories and ten defeats, which strengthened Cao Cao's determination. At this time, Xun Yu's Yuan Shu lost five times, and he did not lose to Guo Jia's ten wins and ten defeats.
After Cao Cao heard this, his body and mind were all over the world, like a long drought and a rain, and he stepped forward to hold Xun Yu's hand with excitement: "This is a great good!" Wen Ruo deserves to be a certain son's room! Cao can get your help, fortunately! ”
"Ahem! Lord, did you say something less? Xi Zhicai coughed lightly on the side, looked at Cao Cao with a smile in his eyes and said narrowly.
"Haha! Zhicai, you are a certain Chen Ping, you can get the help of the two of you, how lucky Cao is! Seeing this, Cao Cao took Xi Zhicai's hand and said with a laugh.
The three ministers held hands and laughed together, looking like a king, a saint and a sage. If this scene was seen by Yuan Shu, it would definitely be far away, and the cold would not stop. Broken sleeves! A group of men holding hands so intimately is not disgusting. In this era, Yuan Shu can't stand the intimate actions between monarchs and ministers, and wants him to sleep with Guo Jiatianfeng and others, holding hands and weeping, as a modern Virgo pure otaku, Yuan Shu would rather choose death.
"My lord, it is imperative that we first unify the Central Plains before we can stand in the same position as Yuan Shu and compete with him."
"Lu Bu, I'm not afraid, but I'm just a tiger, no matter how strong the force is, it's not as brave as a horseman, and there are countless fierce generals under a certain command, and I am not afraid of it at all. I am afraid that Lu Bu will listen to Chen Gong, and with Chen Gong's wisdom, he will not be able to see our current predicament. As long as Chen Gong persuades Lu Bu to adopt delaying tactics, it may be difficult for us to take Qingzhou. Cao Cao sighed lightly and said.
He really regretted Chen Gong's defection to Lu Bu, and he knew that he shouldn't have let Chen Gong leave and killed him directly, otherwise how could he have fallen into such a situation? Lu Bu without Chen Gong is not at all credible, just like Xiang Yu who has lost Fan Zeng. But now that this is the case, it is too late for Cao Cao to regret it.
Xun Yu smiled lightly when he heard this: "What the lord said is good, Lu Bu is easy to deal with, but Chen Gong is far-reaching, even if we seize the opportunity, it is impossible to easily take Qingzhou when it occupies the right time and place." But don't forget, Chen Gong is Chen Palace, and Lu Bu is Lu Bu. If Xiang Yu didn't listen to what Fan Zeng said, what was the use of Fan Zeng's resourcefulness? ”
Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Wen Ruo, what do you mean?" Discrete meter? ”
"Don't forget, my lord, how Lu Bu turned against Dong Zhuo in the first place. This person is greedy for money and lustful, especially affectionate, as long as he starts from this aspect, let alone let Lu Bu and Chen Gong be separated, it is not difficult to make Chen Gong angry and leave Lu Bu. ”
"Wen Ruo, have you already laid it out?" Cao Cao asked.
Xun Yu nodded lightly: "Yes, lord." A certain has already started to lay out, and the maid next to Lu Bu's favorite concubine Wang has been bought by someone, and at the right time, this person can be of great use to us. ”
"Just a concubine, does Lu Bu really attach so much importance to it?" Cao Cao questioned.
"The lord can know that this Wang family is not an extraordinary daughter, but the daughter of Wang Situ at the beginning, and she is also the most cherished person by Lu Bu, and she is even more favored than his wife. He has a daughter for Lu Bu, who is deeply loved by Lu Bu. ”
Cao Cao's eyes were revealed: "Yes, at the beginning, Lu Bu was able to assassinate his father-in-law Dong Zhuo for this daughter, and now it is not difficult for him not to listen to Chen Gong's words." ”
"Speaking of Wen Ruo, Yuan Shu is also as lustful and affectionate as Lu Bu, can we make a fuss about it?" Cao Cao said on a whim.
Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "Lord, I'm afraid this is impossible?" ”
"Why is that?"
"The lord has never remembered that Yuan Shu's mansion is completely like an iron bucket, and some kind of spies can't enter it at all, even the bribes will be discovered by Yuan Shu immediately. It is really difficult to start with the people around Yuan Shu. ”
Cao Cao sighed lightly and said, "It's that I'm thinking too much." The Yuan family has a deep heritage, and Yuan Shu's intelligence system is also extremely powerful, and it is indeed a bit whimsical to want to use the people around him to start. ”
When Xun Yu heard this, a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Lord, I'm afraid this is not just a problem for the Yuan family and the intelligence personnel under Yuan Shu. It's Yuan Shu itself. ”
