"Yuan Jiujiao now has strong troops and powerful forces. What is his fatal weakness?" Cao Cao asked.

"Strength itself is a fatal weakness." Xun Yu said with a smile: "Especially for an indecisive person like Yuan Shu. Pride and lack of decisiveness will make Yuan Shu make huge mistakes! Moreover, Yuan Shu has many

The layout is everywhere, the battle front is long, and there are many enemies. In addition, the people are kind-hearted and not ruthless enough. They look forward and backward when encountering difficulties. Even if we completely dominate the situation, we still have a chance to make a comeback."

"And compared to Yuan Shu, we are not completely at a disadvantage. We also have many advantages."

“What are our advantages?”

Xun Yu bowed and said: "First, my lord is far more wise than Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is indecisive, but my lord is wise and decisive. Yuan Shu is a woman, and my lord is benevolent and righteous. Yuan Shu has no name for his army, but my lord has a reputation. Yuan Shu does not know the key points of the army, but my lord uses his troops like a righteous man."

god."

As soon as Xun Yu said these words, Cao Cao suddenly felt comfortable, as if he had just finished a sauna. He had been hit so hard before, and when he was suddenly praised by Xun Yu, Cao Cao felt a little elated. He really thought that Yuan Shu was not as good as him in many places.

Except for domestic affairs, he was stronger than Yuan Shu in terms of literary, military, and imperial methods. However, he could not resist Yuan Shu's good background, so he took the lead step by step and gained such a huge advantage.

Xun Yu completely ignored Cao Cao's thoughts and continued: "Secondly, Yuan Shu was powerful and upright, and his allies, Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan, were not British lords. On the contrary, the lord and Yuan Shao were allies of each other and had a close relationship. By then, the lord unified the Central Plains.

Yuan Shao unified Hebei and used the strength of both sides to fight against the enemy. Even if Yuan Shu had many soldiers and generals, it would be difficult to resist them."

"Thirdly, Yuan Shu has many aristocratic families and businessmen under his command. Now that Yuan Shu is powerful, these people will naturally be at his mercy. But once we have a stalemate with him and show that we are not inferior to the opponent's strength, these people will definitely not want to succumb obediently.

Furthermore, when the time comes, not only will these people not be able to serve as his arm, but they will actually restrict Yuan Shu's energy."

"Fourth, Yuan Jiujiu's journey has been too smooth and he has never experienced failure. Therefore, his will is not as tenacious as the master. If he experiences a big defeat, he will probably be unable to recover, just like Xiang Yu back then."

"Fifth, Yuan Gongdao's descendants are cowardly and have no successors. He is nearly forty years old. His legitimate son Yuan Yao is incompetent, but his righteous son Sun Ce is extremely brave. He has many people following him and has the talent of a monarch. If so,

If anything happens to Yuan Shu, Jiangdong will inevitably be divided."

"Therefore, as long as we can contend with Yuan Shu for a period of time, the situation will definitely reverse. The many uneasy factors under Yuan Shu's command will become a good opportunity for us to make a comeback."

What came out was that it took many days of planning.

Historically, before the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao faced Yuan Shao with a disparity in strength. It was at that time that Guo Jia offered his theory of ten victories and ten defeats, which strengthened Cao Cao's determination. At this time, Xun Yu's five defeats of Yuan Shu were no longer the same.

Lost to Guo Jia's ten wins and ten losses.

After hearing the words, Cao Cao felt at peace both physically and mentally, as if there was a rain after a long drought. He stepped forward and held Xun Yu's hand with excitement on his face: "This is a great thing to say! Wen Ruo deserves to be someone's son! Cao can get your help.

Very lucky!"

"Ahem! My lord, did you say something less?" Xi Zhicai coughed lightly at the side, looking at Cao Cao with a smile in his eyes and said hurriedly.

"Haha! Zhicai, you are someone's Chen Ping. Cao is so lucky to have you two helping him!" Seeing this, Cao Cao took Xi Zhicai's hand and said with a smile.

The three principals and ministers held hands and laughed together, looking like kings, saints and ministers. If Yuan Shu saw this scene, he would definitely stay far away and feel cold. What a habit of cutting sleeves! A group of men are so close to each other.

Holding hands is disgusting. Yuan Shu still can't stand the intimate movements between monarchs and ministers in this era. He and Guo Jiatianfeng and others are forced to sleep together, holding hands and crying. As a modern Virgo pure otaku, Yuan Shu would rather choose death.

.

"My lord, the top priority is that we must first unify the Central Plains before we can stand on the same footing as Yuan Shu and compete with him."

"I'm not afraid of Lu Bu. He's just a tiger. No matter how powerful he is, he can't be more brave than an ordinary man. He has countless fierce generals under his command, so I'm not afraid of him at all. I'm afraid that Lu Bu will listen to Chen Gong. With Chen Gong's wisdom, he won't be able to look down on him.

Given our current predicament, as long as Chen Gong advises Lu Bu to adopt delaying tactics, it will be difficult for us to capture Qingzhou." Cao Cao sighed lightly.

He really regretted Chen Gong's defection to Lu Bu. He had known that he should not have let Chen Gong leave in the first place and killed him directly. Otherwise, how could he have fallen into such a situation? Lu Bu without Chen Gong was not enough evidence at all. It was like losing Chen Gong.

Fan Zeng's Xiang Yu is just average. But now that things have happened, it's too late for Cao Cao to regret.

Xun Yu smiled softly when he heard this: "My lord is right, Lu Bu is easy to deal with, but Chen Gong has far-reaching wisdom. Even if we seize the opportunity, we can't easily take Qingzhou as it occupies the right time and place. But my lord doesn't want it."

Forget, Chen Gong is Chen Gong, and Lu Bu is Lu Bu. If Xiang Yu doesn't listen to what Fan Zeng says, what's the point of being as resourceful as Fan Zeng is?"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Wen Ruo, what do you mean? A divorce plan?"

"My lord, please don't forget how Lü Bu turned against Dong Zhuo. This man was greedy for money and lustful, and he was especially fond of love. As long as we start from this aspect, let alone make Lü Bu and Chen Gong separate, it will make Chen Gong angry and leave Lu Bu.

It’s not difficult.”

"Wen Ruo, have you made plans?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu nodded lightly: "Yes, my lord. A certain person has already begun to make plans. The maid next to Lu Bu's favorite concubine Wang has been bribed by a certain person. At the right time, this person can be of great use to us."

"Would Lu Bu really value a mere concubine so much?" Cao Cao questioned.

"My lord, I know that this Wang is not an extraordinary girl, but the daughter of the original Wang Situ. She is also the person Lu Bu cherishes the most, and is even more favored than his first wife. She has a daughter for Lu Bu, who is deeply loved by Lu Bu."

Cao Cao saw clearly: "Yes, Lu Bu was able to assassinate his adoptive father Dong Zhuo for this girl, now it is not difficult to make him disobey Chen Gong."

"Speaking of Wen Ruo, Yuan Shu is as lustful and passionate as Lu Bu. Can we make an issue out of this?" Cao Cao suddenly thought.

Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "Lord, I'm afraid this is impossible?"

"Why is this?"

"My lord, have you ever remembered that someone said that Yuan Shu's house is completely like an iron barrel, and spies of a certain class cannot enter at all, and even bribery personnel will be discovered by Yuan Shu immediately. It is really difficult to attack the people around Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao sighed softly and said: "You are overthinking it. The Yuan family has a profound background, and Yuan Shu's intelligence system is also extremely powerful. It is indeed a bit fanciful to want to use the people around him to attack."
