Yuan Wei said abruptly: "What Brother Ziyin said is extremely true, if the people's hearts are not aligned, they will inevitably be defeated. ”

Throughout the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, there are countless examples of defeat due to unaligned hearts.

Even in the troubled era of the late Han Dynasty, there were two classic battle examples, that is, the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi.

In the battle of Guandu, although Yuan Shao had an overwhelming advantage, the military generals under his command held two completely different opinions on whether to fight or not, until the final outbreak of the Guandu War, the indecisive Yuan Shao was unable to unify his opinion, and the result was that Yuan Shao's army of 700,000 was defeated by Cao Cao's 70,000 people.

In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao coerced 830,000 people to the south, and the Jiangdong Sun group also held two completely different opinions on the battle and surrender, but Sun Quan was more clever than Yuan Shao in that before the outbreak of the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan successfully unified the opinions of Jiangdong's civil and military forces, made them work together, and finally defeated Cao Cao.

It can be seen that the impact of whether people are united or not on the result is as heavy as Mount Tai!

The hearts of the people are united, Mount Tai moves! This old proverb is by no means false.

Yan Xiang said again: "Son, Huainan is already dead, and he can't break off his nostalgia, but if he doesn't rectify the civil and military orders in advance, he will rush to Hebei, just afraid that there will be more evil and less auspicious." ”

Indeed, if Yuan Wei crossed Yanzhou or Xuzhou with the remnants of the army's discouragement, it would be strange that the troops did not fall apart.

"What Brother Ziyin said can be described as hitting the nail on the head." Yuan Fu muttered, "Then, what should be done so that the whole order can be rectified?" ”

Yan Xiang looked at Yuan No, and said with a smile: "The three orders and five Shen Gongzi should have read it, right?" ”

Yuan Wei hurriedly said: "This allusion has been read, it is said that Sun Wu was exiled to Wu State, and Wu Wang Lu wanted to try Sun Wu's ability to command the army, so he handed over 180 young palace maids to Sun Wu to practice, Sun Wu simply explained the password and then began to beat the drum to give the order, but the palace maids laughed and did not listen to his orders at all. ”

Sun Wu then summoned the palace maids and said that it was the fault of the chief general that he could not explain clearly, so he gave the password again, and then beat the drum again to give the order, but the palace maids still did not listen to the order.

"So Sun Wu said that the main general had given a clear password, and the soldiers still did not obey, that was the captain's fault, so he beheaded the two Wu Wang's favored concubines who served as the captain, and the palace maids saw that Sun Wu even killed Wu Wang's favorite concubine, and they were all silent, and then the order was prohibited."

"It's good that Childe has read it." Yan Xiang took over the conversation, and said, "The so-called three armies can't be without a commander for a day, but there can be no two commanders, an army is like a person, only need to have a head, a will is enough, and Gongzi, you are the head of the Yuan family, and your will is the collective will of all the officers and soldiers of the Yuan army." ”

Yuan said with a smile: "What Brother Ziyin said is very true, however, governing officials and governing the army are different after all, but I don't know, what should be done to make the group of officials prohibited?" ”

If it is to govern the army, then Yuan Wei only needs to follow Sun Wu's method.

This is also the reason why Yuan Wei deliberately opened the calf and asked Xu Sheng to lead Yu Linwei alone.

Yuan Fu's purpose in doing this was to control Yu Linwei through Xu Sheng, as long as Yu Linwei was controlled, Yuan Fu would already be invincible within the Yuan Group.

The problem is that in addition to the four thousand remnants of the Yuan group, there are also seventy or eighty officials!

Although these officials were not allowed to go to the battlefield, and most of them were unable to give advice at critical moments, their influence within the Yuan Group was not trivial, and their influence on Shilin was even greater.

For example, Jin Shang has his henchmen and protégés in the court.

These officials not only represent the scholar class in Huainan, from a broad geographical point of view, these officials also represent all the scholars in the entire Han world, if Yuan Nuo is evil to these officials, then a spread of ten to a hundred, Yuan Nuo's reputation for treating scholars slowly will soon spread throughout Shilin, and which scholar is willing to vote for him in the future?

Without the help of scholars, why will Yuan fight for the world in the future?

Fighting the world needs the scholars, and in the future, we will have to rely on the scholars to govern the world.

Therefore, for these officials, Yuan Wei can't kill them, they can't beat them, and they can't easily drive them away.

Yan Xiang waved his hand, smiled and said: "Rulers, it is difficult to say, but it is easy to say, just listen to his words, watch his deeds, and then divide them and turn them into words." ”

Divide and dissolve? Yuan Wei's heart suddenly moved when he heard this.

The so-called division and integration is actually the way of checks and balances.

As a history lover, Yuan Wei has read many historical novels, and he is no stranger to the way of checks and balances, and the reason why he asked Jin Shang to go to Lujiang first was to transfer Jin Shang, the head of a hundred officials, and then divide and disintegrate the official group of the "Zhong Dynasty".

Yuan Wei has even chosen a breakthrough.

This breakthrough is the long history of Yang Hong.

As for Yan Xiang, it was an unexpected joy.

Yuan Wei asked again: "Dare to ask Brother Ziyin, how to divide it?" ”

Yan Xiang smiled and said: "The world is bustling, and it is all for profit; If the prince wants to divide the official group or the Huainan Shi group, he must first figure out where their interests lie, as long as they figure out where their interests are, and then prescribe the right medicine, then the medicine will definitely be eliminated, and all wishes will come true. ”

Yuan Wei asked again: "So, what are the interests of the Huainan Shi group?" ”

Yan Xiang replied: "If the prince can give them enough fame and fortune to let them know that going to Hebei is more wonderful than staying in Huainan, they will be willing to follow the son." ”

Yuan Wei smiled bitterly: "This, but so-and-so can't give it to them." ”

Originally, when he arrived in Hebei, even he had to send someone under the fence, so how could he give benefits to others?

"That's fine." Yan Xiang smiled slightly, and then said, "If Gongzi can't give them enough fame and fortune, then you just need to give them enough blows to make them know that staying in Huainan or Lujiang will only get worse and worse, and in the end, they can only follow Gongzi." ”

Yuan Wei suddenly became enlightened when he heard this.

The reason why the officers and men of the three armies were reluctant to go to Hebei with him was nothing more than nostalgia for their families and homeland in Huainan.

The reason why the scholar group was reluctant to go to Hebei with him was nothing more than nostalgia for the power and status they now had.

This means that as long as the officers and men of the three armies know that their families in Huainan have died and left, their homeland has long been scorched, and they will have nothing to remember.

This means that as long as the scholar group knows that with the heavy damage to Yuan Shu's power, the power and status they used to have has shrunk significantly, and even become worthless, they will not be nostalgic for everything in Huainan, and they are willing to follow him to Hebei to start from scratch.

At this moment, Yuan Wei really had a feeling of enlightenment.

At that moment, Yuan Wei knelt down and sat up, threw himself to the ground towards Yan Xiangchang, and said sincerely: "Listen to your words, and sincerely make a certain mouth open!" Brother Ziyin and receive a certain worship! ”

At this time, Yuan Wei didn't resist going to Lujiang at all.

Because only when he arrived in Lujiang would Jin Shang find that he couldn't influence Liu Xun's decision at all.

Only when they arrive in Lujiang will the civil and military officials of the Zhongjia Dynasty know that they are nothing!

They thought that they could get the same status in Lujiang as they did in Huainan, but they were too naïve.

Yan Xiang didn't dare to accept Yuan No's worship, so he quickly got up and rushed forward and hugged Yuan No.

(Dividing Line)

After a long conversation with Yan Xiang, Yuan Wei strengthened his determination to go to Lujiang.

This goes to Lujiang, the most ideal result is the magpie's nest dove occupation, Liu Xun's Lujiang County as his own, and then try to provoke Sun Ce to start a war with Liu Biao, and then take the opportunity to attack Jingxiang, as long as the seven counties of Jingxiang are captured, Yuan can use Jingxiang as a basis, and go north to compete with Cao Cao in the Central Plains, which is much stronger than going to Hebei to send people under the fence.

Of course, this is only the most ideal result, and Yuan also knows that the chances are slim.

First of all, if you want to take Lujiang County for yourself, you are afraid that it will not be easy, Liu Xun is just a reckless man, so there is nothing to worry about, but Liu Ye under Liu Xun is a great sage, as long as Liu Ye is there, it will be difficult to seek Lujiang!

Secondly, Sun Ce may not be as he wishes, and Liu Biao war, although Sun Ce and Liu Biao said that there is a grudge against his father, but Sun Ce knows that Jiangdong's foundation is not solid, at this time rashly start a war with Liu Biao, it is undoubtedly a wise man's no, Sun Ce's most likely choice is to attack Huainan and Lujiang, and expand the power of the Sun clan in Jiangdong.

In the end, even if he successfully took Lujiang, even if Sun Cezhen started a war with Liu Biao, it was not easy to seek Jingxiang.

Because Lujiang is a small county, with a small population, less grain-producing land, and not many soldiers, Jingxiang is the land of fish and rice, with abundant products and a large population!

The most important thing is that Liu Biao is in the prime of life at this time, and he is by no means easy to match.

What's more, Jing Xiangwen has Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, and Wu has Cai Mao, Zhang Yun, Liu Pan, Huang Zu, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Gan Ning, Wenpin, etc., which can be described as a gathering of heroes and talents.

Therefore, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

But then again, this is just an ideal, and the ideal thing, just think about it, and it can't be true.

What Yuan Wei really wants, is to take advantage of this trip to Lujiang to rectify the old department, make the whole family work together, and create conditions for the follow-up across the Central Plains to Jizhou, of course, if you can collect a few strategists and generals by the way, it would be better, or, it is also good to take the opportunity to collect two beauties, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao seem to be in Lujiang, right?
