Chapter 50 The division between the family and the warlord

"Father, the child decided to use more than 10,000 elite troops to attack the counties in Huainan first, and his father personally seized Runan to conquer the masses with Cao Cao in Yanzhou and the uncle of Jizhou."

"After all, although our army did not achieve substantial results in the Battle of Kuangting, it was extremely beneficial to mobilize the main force of Cao's army to the west, which instead led to Taishan County, which was dominated by eastern Yanzhou, suffered a irrelevant military attack from Tao Qian's side."

"According to the information, Cao Ren, the general of the royal family under Cao Cao, has to rely on a small amount of troops to compete with the Xuzhou army, and temporarily protect the city."

At this moment, Yuan Yao also seemed to have returned to his former spirit of guiding the country, laughter and joy filled the military palace, talking about the current situation in the world.

After a while of a break, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice again: "Not only that, according to the war report, Gongsun Zan has also reorganized his troops and divided his troops into two groups to invade Jizhou again to repay the defeat of Jieqiao last year."

"All the way, Tian Kai, the governor of Qingzhou, led his troops to attack Hejian from the plains, and Anping and other counties."

"Other way, he personally commanded the remaining tens of Youyan infantry and cavalry, and his troops were sturdy and he took Ye, the capital of Jizhou."

"What's more, as early as when our army retreated south, the child used his father's power to grant official titles to the Heishan army and the Xiongnu army that responded to our army, and granted wealth. After they returned to the garrison, our army could send their missions to lead their old troops out of the mountains to harass the two sides of the Yellow River to cooperate with the offensives of Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian."

"As for my father, he sent troops to the border of Runan, and made a move that he wanted to make a comeback, which forced Cao Cao and Yuan Shao to be more cautious in order to distract their attention."

"Although Liu Biao, Jingzhou, has occupied all the land of Jingxiang and has strong military strength, our army has now given up Nanyang County. With Lu Bu's bravery, even if Liu Biao tries his best, it will be difficult to seize it."

For a moment, Yuan Yao continued to expound the current situation in the world.

"Therefore, the situation is clear now, and an alliance between our army and Tao Qian, Gongsun Zan and Lu Bu was formed to fight against Da Bo, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao's old thief."

"Then our army can take advantage of its military strength and take advantage of the stalemate in the north to take the opportunity to go south, take the lead in taking Huainan as the foundation, and gradually erode the strategic intentions of the other counties and counties in Yangzhou."

While explaining the overall situation, Yuan Yao also led to his own strategic concept.

Then, he continued to say: "Although Runan is the confidant of my Yuan family, it is still acceptable to stick to the family business. If you want to expand your territory and become a king and domineering business, your geographical location is difficult to develop as a foundation, and it is far inferior to Shouchun, the capital of Yangzhou."

"Shouchun is between Runan and Huainan. It can not only serve as the foundation for controlling the entire Yangzhou, but also use Runan County as a front outpost to see the states of the Central Plains. Since ancient times, Jiang, Ru and Huainan have produced elite soldiers."

"It can gain both the advantage of the territory and expand the elite troops and generals. Why worry about the world being unable to do so?"

Yuan Yao said in a deep voice in this speech.

He not only refuted Su Zhongying's previous response, but also warned his father that his eyes must not be short-sighted.

The general meaning is that although defending Runan County can use the power of the family to gain temporary strength, it will eventually fall into a rootless duckweed, which will lead to a stagnation of strength.

When the other princes grow and grow, it will be difficult to maintain and fight with the current family power alone.

Only by constantly using family forces to conquer cities and expand, can we be invincible at any time!

This is Yuan Yao’s idea.

In fact, Yuan Shu was already trapped in two contradictory choices at this time.

It is a family that sticks to Runan County and continues to maintain its own strong family.

We should still conquer cities and land, find a new foundation, and transform ourselves from a noble family to a real warlord.

There is an essential difference between aristocratic families and warlords.

Moreover, the power of the aristocratic families is strong and they are easily exterminated when they are under pressure from warlords.

This can be seen from the original history that Cao Cao used poor gentry but suppressed many high-ranking families?

In the eyes of warlords, aristocratic families are not necessary, they can be replaced at any time.

Don’t mention any remarks such as losing the hearts of aristocratic families and losing their hearts.

This is pure nonsense!

As long as you make the choice to find a replacement for prominent families, a group of super-large families like the Yuan family can easily be enemies and eliminated by warlords.

Because people's hearts are complex and selfish, and everyone wants to become a top family.

But if the Yuan family is not pulled down, then the rest of the people will always be in a dominant position no matter how they develop.

What if the warlords give poor families or some small and medium-sized families a chance?

Then, without the intention of warlords, these people can attack Yuan's family, with the only purpose of destroying Yuan's family and thus strengthening themselves.

Therefore, as a top aristocratic family, although they can be the subject of the aristocratic family, if they are not careful, they will be counterattacked.

How to maintain the prosperity of a family is very knowledgeable and skillful.

Of course, this requires a talented head of the family.

Why did the Yuan family in the original history decline?

Isn’t it because there is no successor?

Yuan Shu is an incompetent person. Although Yuan Shao has certain abilities, he still has too many shortcomings, which leads to failure.

But in Yuan Yao's view, these are not essential factors.

The key reason is that neither his father nor Yuan Shao completely transformed into real warlords, and they are still acting with powerful family forces.

It is true that the family has helped, but just to summon foreign troops to Beijing for example, the Yuan family attaches too much importance to the appeal of the family. He always thinks that Dong Zhuo is a disciple of the Yuan family, so he will follow the lead of the Yuan family.

If Yuan Shao could follow Bao Xin's advice at that time, he would send elite troops to attack and kill him while Dong Zhuo's military strength had not yet fully reached the capital!

But he was rejected.

Yuan Shao's style was completely to preserve the family and could not become a real warlord style.

What is a warlord?

The supreme way is to override the power of the general above political capital.

This is also a question that Yuan Yao has been thinking about for a long time in recent days.

Now, he began to try to present his own insights to his father.

He also made it clear that he did not want to be the head of the Yuan family.

The foundation is the cause of becoming a king and domineering!

Perhaps feeling Yuan Yao’s deep ambition in his heart, Yuan Yao thought for a while and said seriously: “Okay!”

"Since Yao'er is so confident, then I will allow you to lead your troops south to attack all parties, and I will wait for your victory in Runan."

"The child will live up to his father's expectations."

For a moment, the issue of sending troops was decided.

It is a foregone conclusion that Yuan Yao will take charge of the Jianghuai land.
