Xun Yu's "Four Victories"

Since Taizu welcomed the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shao was unconvinced. Shao is both and Heshuo, and the world is afraid of its strength. Taizu Fang was worried about Lu Bu in the east, and refused to embroider Zhang in the south, and embroidered and defeated Taizu's army in Wan. Shao Yijiao, and Taizu Shu, his words are slow. Taizu was furious, and the movement in and out changed as usual, and everyone said that he lost to Zhang Xiu. Zhong asked Yu, and Yu said: "If the public is smart, he will not blame the past, and he will have other worries." Seeing Taizu asking, Taizu showed Yu with Shaoshu, saying: "Now I will seek injustice, and I am invincible, what is it?" Yu said: "The success or failure of the ancients, sincerity has its talents, although weak must be strong, not others, although strong and weak, the survival of Liu and Xiang is enough to observe." Today, those who compete with the public for the world are only Yuan Shaoer. Shao's appearance is wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, allowing people to doubt their hearts, being public and unrestrained, only talented, and winning this degree. Shao is late and decided, lost in the back of the machine, the public can judge major events, there is no way to respond, and this is also a win. Shao Yujun is lenient, the decree is not established, although the soldiers are outnumbered, in fact, it is difficult to use, the public laws are clear, the rewards and punishments must be carried out, although the soldiers are outnumbered, they all fight to death, and this martial victory is also. Shao with the world's qualifications, calmly ornamental wisdom, in order to receive reputation, the widow of the old man can ask more people, the public to treat people with kindness, the sincerity is not for the beauty of the vain, the line of their own frugality, and the meritorious people have no pity, so the world is loyal to the people who are serving the people of Xianyuan for use, this virtue is also victorious. The husband assists the Son of Heaven with four victories, and supports the righteous expedition, who dares not to obey? Shao Zhiqiang, how can he do it! "Taizu Yue. Yu said: "If you don't take Lu Bu first, Hebei is not easy to map." Taizu said: "Yes." Those I am confused by are afraid that Shao will invade Guanzhong, chaotic Qiang, Hu, and lure Shu Han in the south, and I am the only one who fights against five-sixths of the world. What can I do? Yu said: "General Guan Zhong is handsome with tens, and he can't be one, only Han Sui and Ma Chao are the strongest." When he sees the mountains and the east fighting, he will support the people to protect themselves. Now, if you are kind, send an envoy to make peace, although you can't hold each other for a long time, it is better than the security of Shandong, enough not to move. Chung may belong to the West Affair. Then the public has no worries. ”

Guo Jia's "Ten Wins and Ten Defeats"

Taizu said Jia: "At the beginning, the people of Jizhou were green, and from it, the land was wide and the soldiers were strong, and the number was not inferior." I want to ask for it, but I can't beat it, how? He said: "Liu and Xiang are invincible, and the public knows it." Han Zu is only outwitted; Although Xiang Yu is strong, he will eventually become a bird. Jia steals the material, Shao has ten defeats, the public has ten victories, although the soldiers are strong, there is nothing to do. Shao Fan, etiquette, public body is natural, this way is better than one. Shao to reverse, public obedience to lead the world, this righteousness is better than two. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the government was lost in the wide, and Shao was wide and wide, so it was not taken, and the public correction was fierce and up and down the knowledge system, and this rule won three also. Shao outside the wide internal taboo, the use of people and doubts, the appointment of only relatives and children, easy to simplify outside the public and clear inside, no doubt about the use of people, only the appropriate, not far and near, this degree is better than four. Shao more and less decision, lost in the future, the public policy has to be done, the response is endless, this plan wins five also. Shao because of the wealth of the world, high discussion to collect reputation, the good words of the scholar to decorate the outside of the return of the more, the public to treat people, sincere and act, not for the beauty of the vain, to thrift, and the meritorious people are not stingy, the loyalty of the scholar is far-sighted and the real people are used for the original use, this virtue wins six also. Shao see people hungry and cold, the form of compassion in the color, what it does not see, or do not think about it, the so-called woman's benevolent ear, public in the current small things, sometimes suddenly, as for the big things, and the four seas, the grace of the addition, all over its hope, although not seen, the thoughtful, all of which are good, this benevolence is better than seven. Shao ministers fight for power, slander and confusion, the public is the way, infiltration is not good, this Ming wins eight also. Shao is unknowable, the public office is to enter the courtesy, not the right to the law, this article is better than nine. Shao Hao is a false situation, I don't know what the soldiers want, the public is a small number of people, the soldiers are like gods, the soldiers are afraid of it, the enemy is afraid of it, and this martial arts is better than ten. Taizu smiled and said: "As Qing said, he is lonely and deserving!" Jia also said: "Shaofang attacked Gongsun Hao in the north, and because of his expedition, he took Lu Bu in the east." If you don't take the cloth first, if Shao is a coward, the cloth will help, which is also deeply harmful. Taizu said: "Yes." ”
