Yuan Shao was born in the old Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes, and he was born with a starting point higher than others, but this is not the inevitable guarantee of success, hard work, diligence and long-term clear strategic goals are the fundamental reasons for Yuan Shao's success.

Of course, Yuan Shao's performance in the later stage was completely a dou who couldn't be helped, and he couldn't listen to the advice of others at all, and failure was inevitable.

[Clear Strategy]

Yuan Shao's success in history is inseparable from his background.

But on the other hand, although Yuan Shao was born noble, but the other princes were not badly born, Cao Cao's family was not long, but his father was also the third duke, and Yuan Shu was born in the old Yuan family like Yuan Shao, not to mention that there was also the Hongnong Yang family who was also the fourth and third princes in Runan at that time, not to mention those imperial relatives, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Liu Xuan, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang's life experience is comparable to Yuan Shao.

Therefore, Yuan Shao's ability to push the prestige of the old Yuan family to the apex of history is a great skill in itself.

Of course, Yuan Shao's success is also inseparable from his clear strategic goals, and among the many princes of the Three Kingdoms era, Yuan Shao is one of the few princes with clear strategic goals. I think that when Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had a dialogue, Yuan Shao once said that if big things could not be done, he would be ready to take the north as the foundation first, and then seize the world in the south.

Later, he presented the "Jizhou pair" to Yuan Shao, which further improved Yuan Shao's strategic planning.

But in the end, Yuan Shao only completed the initial goal of "Jizhou Pair" in the process of dominating the world, unified the four northern states, failed to further control the Son of Heaven, and had great righteousness, but even so, Yuan Shao once became the strongest prince.

【Difficult to become a hegemon】

Yuan Shao was not a king who could achieve great things in that era, not only Xun Yu and Guo Jia commented on him, but also the level of Yuan Shao's performance.

At that time, Xun Yu and Guo Jia had taken refuge in Yuan Shao and met with Yuan Shao, but both of them abandoned Yuan Shao, and Guo Jia said to Yuan Shao at that time: "A wise man can measure his master prudently and thoughtfully, so all measures are very thoughtful, so that he can make meritorious contributions." Yuan Gong only wanted to emulate Zhou Gong's Corporal Lixian, but he didn't know the truth of using talents. Thinking a lot and lacking the essentials, like to plan but not decisive, it is really difficult to save the country from danger with him and build the great cause of being the king and hegemonic! ”

And later, Yuan Shao used frustration and Tian Feng like this?

When Emperor Xian fled, he persuaded Yuan Shao to seize the opportunity to welcome the Son of Heaven, Yuan Shao took a look at the other strategists, and then thought about life; Later, Yuan Shao was ready to abolish Chang Liyu, and persuaded Yuan Shao to establish an heir as soon as possible, Yuan Shao looked at the sky and sent his sons out; Then Tian Feng saw that Cao Cao held Emperor Xian firmly in the palm of his hand, so he persuaded Yuan Shao to take away the Son of Heaven when Cao Cao was crusading against Zhang Xiu, and Yuan Shao looked north and south, and finally sent troops to attack Gongsun Zhan; The first time it didn't work, then the second time, this time Cao Cao crusaded against Xuzhou, Yuan Shao had no worries, Tian Feng advised again, but Yuan Shao ignored this great opportunity because his son was sick.

In the end, Cao Cao defeated Liu Bei and recovered Xuzhou and returned, Yuan Shao remembered and prepared to send a large army to attack Cao Cao.

What do you say about frustration and Tian Feng!

Frustrated and Tian Feng really had no choice, they could only bite the bullet, they bitterly persuaded Yuan Shao that the time had passed, and he could take his time to fight Cao Cao, rest and recuperate first, and then use the cavalry to weaken Cao Cao little by little, it was a big deal to spend more time.

But it's useless, Yuan Shao said I just don't listen or don't listen, what's wrong with you.

Frustrated and Tian Feng really tried their best, Tian Feng was imprisoned in order to prevent Yuan Shao, and later Frustrated Professor also said to Yuan Shao not to let Yan Liang be in charge, and even said in advance to prevent Cao Cao from attacking the grain transportation team, but the result was that Yuan Shao was deprived of all power, and was finally abandoned by Yuan Shao and captured by Cao Cao.

At the last moment, they wanted to run back to the north, they really had no choice, and Yuan Shao couldn't help him at all.

When comparing Yuan Shao when he was He Jin's strategist, how much he lamented He Jin's dizziness and incompetence, he didn't use Yuan Shao's plan, he didn't listen to Yuan Shao's words, and now? Yuan Shao was inferior to He Jin at that time.

Yuan Shao himself is also a rare counterexample in history, when he was the master of He Jin, he showed the level of a top strategist, and he could grasp the main point every time, but when he was the boss, he became the same as He Jin, and even He Jin was not as good, history is indeed ironic sometimes.

【Yuan Shao's character】

Yuan Shao's most obvious character trait in his career as a prince was stubbornness, or stubbornness. As long as Yuan Shao pays attention to himself, basically no matter what outsiders say, whether it is right or wrong, Yuan Shao will basically not change it.

And there are too many such examples, whether it was to dissuade Yuan Shao from sending troops back then, or Tian Feng asked Yuan Shao to take the opportunity to crusade against Cao Cao, or Zhang He advised Yuan Shao to immediately rescue Wuchao, Yuan Shao did not change his original mind.

Secondly, Yuan Shao likes to listen to Shunfeng, that is, he hopes that his subordinates will follow him and pat his ass, so Frustrated and Tian Feng, who have different opinions from Yuan Shao, are unlucky, and Guo Tu, the sycophant, is soaring.

Of course, Yuan Shao is also very cheating, that is, he is jealous, and he can't see his subordinates powerful, like Lu Yi, Fu Zhu, and Tian Feng are all discouraged because of this, and even lose their lives.

In addition, Yuan Shao is also late, timid, and indecisive, and is not an excellent king from the perspective of personality.
