[Comprehensive] Number of Merry

Ice and charcoal cannot be in the same vessel.

Whether the monarch and his ministers can get along with each other really depends on fate.

At this moment, looking at Cao Cao leaning over the empty seat and showing concentration on his face, the feelings of "scholar" that have always existed in all the scholars, and also in Xun Yu's heart, are completely awakened, burning like a prairie fire.

What is a scholar?You treat me as a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you as a scholar of the country.Xun Yu, who was hailed as the "Wang Zuo's talent" by He Yong, a famous Nanyang scholar since childhood, did his part and took the world as his own responsibility, only waiting to assist a wise master to realize his ambition of helping the world.

After many investigations and repeated thinking, Xun Yu chose Cao Cao, who was also highly praised by He Yong as "the Han Dynasty will perish, and the one who will bring peace to the world must be this person!" He believed that the world is in chaos, and all heroes can quell the world. Only Cao Cao.Seeing that the hero he had chosen in his mind valued him so much, Xun Yu could only feel a kind of unprecedented pride surging in his chest, which turned into a logical and contagious insightful speech when he spoke:

"If you want to know the loss, you must know the gain. I would like to try to talk about Pingxi's gain and loss for the Lord."

"There are three things in Pingxi, the first is to be superior to the world, the second is to be open-minded and accept advice, and the third is to know people and do well."

"There are many kinds of talents, which can be roughly divided into two categories: 'jing' and 'quan'. Jing refers to economics, that is, the ability to manage and govern a state. Quan refers to power, that is, to use undisclosed plans to obtain power. Two The two complement each other and are indispensable.

Pingxi must have power, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be favored by her parents all the year round, and also serve as the prefect as a woman, setting a precedent in the world.What is even more commendable is her strategic talent.

Judging from the current information, Jingzhou does not have a talent like Zhang Liang who is capable of coordinating and planning the overall situation. As early as when Liu Jingsheng first arrived in Xiangyang to meet Sun Polu, Ping Xi began to take this responsibility.Looking at his administration in Nanyang, he persuaded farming and mulberry farming, cultivated farmland, trained elite soldiers, rewarded military merits, suppressed officials, enforced laws and regulations, and taught education. Just a little test of skill.Pingxi has been in power in Nanyang for three years, and the folk proverb has changed from "the near one is always afraid, and the far away is often thought about" to "thunder, rain and dew are all spring breeze", which is the so-called "talent surpasses the world". "

Ordinary people should be depressed when they hear this, but Cao Cao is very excited.He is a person with great ambitions to clarify the world. Even if the good governance he hears belongs to his opponent, he can't help applauding the opponent in his heart. While motivating himself to work hard, he thinks about how he should govern instead.

Xun Yu was not completely immersed in his speech. The purpose of his speech was to strengthen Cao Cao's confidence, so he kept paying attention to Cao Cao's expression. Seeing his bright eyes and high fighting spirit, he couldn't help being encouraged, and continued to analyze:

"Pingxi is a talented genius. In his early years, he had the intention of looking down on scholars in the world. Have you ever heard of the first acquaintance between Pingxi and Zhao Boran, my lord?"

Wang Lang was thirsty for talent, and the reputation of being a corporal was known all over the world. At this time, when Xun Yu said that she looked down on the gentry in the early years, Cao Cao was surprised on the one hand, and felt that this was reasonable on the other hand.

"Zhao Boran and Pingxi met in commoner clothes. Pingxi knew his talent, but he thought he was good enough to help others. He treated him like a cloud and a wild crane, and had no intention of soliciting him. When he was admonished by others, he suddenly woke up. Scholars. Zhao Boran heard about it, and brought his family to Nanyang to conspire with him, and was immediately promoted to the county magistrate without any grievances. Therefore, he said that he accepted advice with an open mind, and changed it after hearing it."

"Nanyang tried a strategy to recruit scholars. Jian selected scholars from other places, and Pingxi personally determined the rankings. Both of them were excellent at the time. Du Jijian was proud of his young literature and was not valued by Liu Jingsheng. Remarkable. Xu Shu's poor family and single family violated the law with light chivalry, and Pingxi was entrusted with the post of military adviser, and he really made meritorious service. Huang Shigong said, "Make the wise, brave, greedy, and make the foolish and wise happy to make meritorious deeds, and the brave are easy to do their will The greedy ones decide on their own interests, and the foolish ones do not love their death. Using them because of their utmost affection, this army has little power.' Viewed in Pingxi from this point of view, all the people under the tent have their own responsibilities and do their best. He is talented, diligent in public affairs, and does not know how to work hard, and everyone says that Pingxi knows me, which means knowing people and doing things well."

"Of all the three, if you get one of them, you can still be a master for a while, and what's more, you can get all three. If you are light, you will be defeated!"

The last paragraph doesn’t need Xun Yu’s words, Cao Cao himself can come to the same conclusion, his forehead is covered with sweat:

"If that's the case, then it can't be restrained?"

"No." Saying these two words in an extremely firm tone, Xun Yu looked calm and analyzed for Cao Cao at the same speed as usual: "Pingxi has three gains and three losses, which are enough to win for the Lord."

Cao Cao left his seat, bowed to Xun Yu to the end, and said sincerely, "Please teach me, Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu couldn't hold him back, so he could only avoid the table in a hurry, and at the same time he was moved: "My lord treats Yu like this, even though Yu exhausted his talents and wisdom, he failed to repay him, I am deeply ashamed now!"

After calming down a little, and returning to his usual calmness, he clearly stated the crystallization of his thinking over the past few days:

"The talent of the lord is not born in the world. It is not the lord's fault that the current affairs are decadent and unprepared. Today, Pingxi is good at classics, and the lord is good at learning. For example, in the army station, Pingxi tried Nanyang, and the lord learned it and applied it to Yanzhou. , take advantage of it. Power tricks mean that the lord wins over the other. Comparing the two, the lord wins slightly, this one."

Cao Cao's military talent is extremely high. The reason why he lost the battles against Xu Rong and Lu Bu was mainly because he abandoned his official position and absconded because of his loyalty and did not seize the territory. However, there are few people and weak soldiers, and the gap in strength between Liangzhou and Bingzhou soldiers who are like wolves and tigers is too great, and it cannot be saved by personal resourcefulness.Against Yu Du, Bai Rao, Sui Gu, Yu Fu Luo, Liu Bei, Shan Jing, Tao Qian, Yuan Shu, the Heishan Army, and the Southern Huns, he has won many battles. Xun Yu believes that his ability to use troops is definitely one of the best in the world.

As for politics, economy, diplomacy, etc., Cao Cao is also very talented, and Xun Yu was amazed by the speed of his progress.Nanyang took the lead in trial military settlements, lacking experience, and Cao Cao skipped the process of accumulating experience with failures, and made slight changes on the basis of Nanyang military settlements, and established the Yanzhou military settlement method, which was in vain. This learning ability is also remarkable. .Therefore, Xun Yu believes that Cao Cao can completely compete with Wang Lang in terms of economic power, and even slightly better.

"People are not afraid of losing only when they have nothing, because they have nothing to lose except one life. And what fun can there be in a life with only one life and even this life? What is there to cherish? Therefore they Fear nothing."

"The people of Jingzhou are rich and prosperous, enjoying the most beautiful peace and happiness in the world. It is impossible for them to be as carefree as the impoverished and helpless Yellow Turban. Jingzhou has a population of several million in Nanyang alone, while Pingxi only supports [-] soldiers. On the one hand, Ruishi, of course, pursues Wu Zi’s policy that the soldiers are expensive and not expensive, but on the other hand, they are also afraid that too many conscriptions will arouse public resentment and get out of control.”

"Yanzhou is different. When the lord only has three cities left, he can still mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers to fight against Lu Bu. Moreover, although the rebellion in Yanzhou was a disaster, it also helped the lord to identify the most solid and reliable forces. The friendship formed through adversity is the most precious and firm. Now the scholars under the lord's command can be trusted, and the soldiers can be relied on, the other two."

Cao Cao nodded again and again, he knew this before, but it was not as clear as what Xun Yu said.

The people of Jing can be rich and honored with Liu Pingxi, how can they know whether they can share the adversity with Liu Pingxi?In the early days of the Warring States period, the people of the six kingdoms of Shandong were far richer and more advanced than the people of Qin, and the people of Qin survived with stubbornness. Great out of the world."Before Liu Bang met Zhang Liang, everything was not going well, but he insisted on relying on his own ability to keep the hearts of the people. When Zhang Liang joined, the situation immediately turned around, Xianyu turned around, and finally defeated Xiang Yu and won the world.

How to maintain everyone's fighting spirit and unite people's hearts in suffering is also a very important quality.In this regard, he considered himself far superior to any princes of his time.

"Foreigners invade my big man every year, because his life is difficult, but he knows that my big man is rich, even though the border counties are far better than that. If the Han is not disturbed, he will not take the initiative to attack foreigners. Everyone knows that the frontier is bitter and cold. It's useless to take it away."

"Today the world is in chaos, and Jingzhou is alone in peace. Nanyang's officials are well treated, and the world knows that Jingzhou's scholars and people are wealthy. If you take another county, you must first use Jingzhou to make up for it, and wait for it to recover a little before self-government. Therefore, there is nothing comparable to Jingzhou in three to five years. Everyone has a heart of leisure and hates work. They leave the prosperous and prosperous Jingzhou and go to the desolate and ruined ruins. Honorable, but unacceptable."

"The lord has nothing to feed the people, and the people have returned to the lord. Then the lord can proceed step by step, the prosperity of other places inspires people's hearts, encourages the soldiers and the people to fight abroad, and obtains food, fodder and wealth. This is the third victory of the lord."

After finishing the three gains and three losses in an orderly manner, Xun Yu didn't stop, but took a sip of the old wine that had been re-scalded twice by the servant, moistened his throat slightly, and said the big plan he was really thinking about these days:

"When Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty guarded Kanto and Emperor Guangwu occupied Hanoi, they first consolidated the base to control the world. In this way, advance can win and retreat can hold firm. Therefore, although there are difficulties and twists and turns, the great cause can be completed in the end. The most urgent task of the lord is to defeat Lu Bu and retake the land. Yanzhou."

Seeing Cao Cao nodding his head and showing approval, Xun Yu continued:

"Pingxi did not go south to capture Yuzhang, but went east to occupy Yingchuan and Runan in the Central Plains. Her intention to unify the world is already obvious. She didn't continue to deploy troops because she wanted to control the front within a controllable range. And adjust the force, go north to capture Sili. At this time, Yuan Benchu ​​should have completely pacified Gongsun Zan, stabilized the two states of Ji and You, and became the most powerful prince in the world."

"The way to use troops is nothing more than making mistakes from many sides and relying on the enemy's mistakes to win. Therefore, when the two sides are evenly matched, they often either injure the enemy ten thousand and themselves eight thousand, or avoid large-scale wars and wait for and induce the other side to make mistakes. .

I see Liu Pingxi's character, he likes to use ingenious methods to win, and he hates evenly matched battles, especially siege battles with great losses.Therefore, we will try our best to avoid fighting with Yuan Benchu ​​after Yuan Benchu's strength is stable.Even if her side has just won Guanzhong, it will take some time to digest and consolidate, but she believes in her own strength, and would rather send troops to seize the city when both sides are not stable, than start a war when both sides are stable.This is your chance lord. "

"There is a Yuzhou between Jingzhou and Yanzhou. Liu Pingxi has no ability to continue to conquer Yanzhou after swallowing Yuzhou. For Yuan Benchu, Qingzhou in the west is more important than the lord's Yanzhou. What's more, the lord and Yuan Benchu ​​are still allies. As long as you make a clever excuse , will definitely be able to get out of the situation.”

"Afterwards, no matter who wins or loses between Liu Pingxi and Yuan Benchu, the lord will have a rare opportunity to develop. He can expand his own power as much as possible during the war between the two, gain the qualification to compete with the victor in the Central Plains, and decide who is the real overlord. !"

Cao Cao couldn't hold back when he heard this, he jumped over his seat and held Xun Yu's hand, excitedly said:

"Wen Ruo, you are the ovary of my Cao Mengde! With you here, why worry about nothing happening!"
