Chapter 14 The son is self-reliant, I am willing to be the pioneer
Lu Xuan looked relaxed and said: "When it comes to factional disputes and conflicts of interest, we must first analyze the composition of the personnel on both sides. Let's talk about the people under Yuan Shao first, because Yuan Shao has the greatest reputation."
"Yuan Shao is a native of Nanyang. He established a family through his reputation as the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes. There are mainly three factions of talents under his command."
"The first is the Nanyang Clan, which is Yuan Shao's old tribe, headed by Xu You and Feng Ji; the second is the Yingchuan Clan, headed by Guo Tu, Xun Chen and Xin Ying; the third is the Jizhou Clan,
The main ones are Tian Feng, Ju Shou and Shen Pei."
"The three factions represent different interests and the positions of their respective interest groups."
"The benefits Yuan Shao controls are as big as the palm of his hand. Giving more to the Nanyang Clan means that the Yingchuan Clan and the Jizhou Clan will get less benefits."
"In order to gain more benefits, you need to grab it. If you can't grab it, you can't let your opponent get it."
Lu Xuan talked eloquently, analyzed it carefully, and continued: "As the saying goes, a Taoist can't help himself when he is in the arena. When you enter the arena and are in the vanity fair, you can't do whatever you want just because you understand the situation."
"Your actions should be determined based on the interests of the group behind you."
"So many times, even though we know that the opponent's strategy is feasible, we must oppose it for the sake of the faction's interests, and we cannot allow the opponent to gain success."
"Faction fighting will weaken the overall strength invisibly. Another key point is that Yuan Shao likes to play power and balance the three factions. Each faction is in power and they are Yuan Shao's confidants."
"Such an arrangement is just a trivial matter. When it comes to the decisive battle, the various factions will blame each other, accuse and abuse each other, and secretly play dirty tricks, which will be fatal."
Lu Xuan analyzed it carefully.
He always believed that factional fighting was the fundamental reason for Yuan Shao's defeat by Cao Cao.
From the beginning to the end of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao had an absolute advantage in strength. Cao Cao was always in a weak position, which was a precarious situation.
However, among Yuan Shao's subordinates, Tian Feng and Feng Ji were not on good terms, Ju Shou was not on good terms with Guo Tu, and Guo Tu was not on good terms with Xu You.
They are constantly breaking things up with each other.
The factional fighting affected the counselors themselves, so Xu You defected to Cao Cao.
In the end, Cao Cao led his troops to raid Wuchao and burned all of Yuan Shao's food and grass, turning the tide in one battle.
Zhang Zhao's eyes brightened after listening to Lu Xuan's analysis.
He is also a wise man. Lu Xuan's words pierced this layer of skin and Zhang Zhao understood.
Zhang Zhao is well aware of the consequences of the struggle for interests, especially on the battlefield. The struggle between each other will not be shelved because of the overall situation, but will only intensify.
The struggle for interests is the problem.
Lu Xuan's analysis is so wonderful.
Zhang Zhao sat upright and looked at Lu Xuan with eyes filled with joy and admiration.
He is almost forty years old and thinks that he has outstanding abilities. But today, listening to Lu Xuan, who is about twenty years old, explaining the struggle of interests, he feels deafening and extremely shocked in his heart.
Lu Xuan has great talent.
Compared with Lu Xuan, Sun Ce is hardly worthy of carrying shoes.
Lu Xuan's eyes were bright, and he continued: "Cao Cao also has factions, but they are simpler. Cao Cao's civil servants are the team led by Xun Yu, including Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Chen Qun, Cheng Yu and others.
"The core generals under Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and others are all Cao Cao's Qiao County lineage, and are Cao Cao's brothers and clansmen."
"This is a group of military commanders."
"Both civil and military parties can agree on the same views and have the same interests, and there will be no internal strife."
"In addition, Cao Cao is also good at making decisions. When something happens, he will discuss it with Xun Yu and then implement it. No matter how difficult it is, there will be no push back."
"But Yuan Shao's people can't do it."
Lu Xuan said: "The struggle of interests is usually inconspicuous. On the battlefield, small problems will be magnified and eventually lead to catastrophe. So I used factional fighting to believe that in the fight between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao will definitely lose and Cao Cao will win.
.”
hiss!
After Zhang Zhao heard this, he took a deep breath. He felt refreshed and enlightened.
sharp!
Lu Xuan's analysis is really brilliant.
Factional strife has existed since ancient times. Once factional strife occurs, internal strife will occur, mutual attacks will occur, and even mutual opposition will occur.
Even if the strength is temporarily strong, it cannot last long. This is the case with Yuan Shao.
Zhang Zhao looked at Lu Xuan again and sighed in his heart. He had previously focused on Sun Ce, thinking that Sun Ce could make things happen.
Today, it seems that the Lu Xuan in front of him is a truly capable person.
This is an expert.
Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, calmed his mind, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "I am convinced by Mr. Lu's words."
Lu Xuan stood up and returned the courtesy, and said humbly: "Mr. Zibu, thank you for your praise. My judgment is just my family's opinion and not worth mentioning. If such words are left outside, many people may even ridicule them.
"
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said firmly: "Everything in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. The cause of everything is for profit. Only by analyzing it from the perspective of profit can we find the root cause."
Qiao Yu saw it in his eyes, and the look on his face became more and more proud.
Qiao Yu was also surprised by Lu Xuan's analysis.
He didn't know much about political matters, and he had no impression of the people under Yuan Shao's command. After listening to Lu Xuan's words and seeing Zhang Zhao's admiration, Qiao Yu felt happy in his heart and felt happy for Lu Xuan.
Qiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's sit down and talk."
Zhang Zhao didn't sit down. He thought about it for a while. Lu Xuan's plan was to divide the world into two parts, or even compete for the world.
Lu Xuan has great ambitions.
The Lu family is a wealthy family in Yangzhou, and Lu Xuan is supported by Lu Kang. In such troubled times, Lu Xuan has a chance to succeed.
Zhang Zhao weighed it up and said directly: "Young Master Lu has a keen eye, and I admire him. If Mr. Lu sets up his own business, Zhang Zhao is willing to be his pioneer and make suggestions for him."
At this moment, Zhang Zhao directly made a decision and expressed his intention to serve Lu Xuan.
This is Zhang Zhao's bet.
If the bet is won, there will be a bright future. At present, the prerequisite is that Lu Xuan establishes his own business. If Lu Xuan stays with Lu Kang, Zhang Zhao will not be able to serve.
Lu Xuan was even more happy.
Zhang Zhao is a capable minister in handling government affairs. With Zhang Zhao here, Lu Xuan will be even more powerful if he wants to fight for hegemony.
Lu Xuan replied: "Mr. Zibu, I will make arrangements within three months at most. At that time, I will personally ask Mr. Zibu to come out and help me."
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "This is my honor, Zhang Zhao."
