The first is "Tao wins": Yuan Shao, as a clan warlord, has a variety of etiquette and is bound by its form; Cao Cao's "using nature" conforms to the times and events, and "Tao" is superior.
The second is "righteousness wins": Cao Cao's "submission to the world" conforms to the historical trend and is ethical.
Third, "ruling victory": Guo Jia analyzed history and reality with profound eyes, and thought that the rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty was the "political loss in leniency" of the rulers, and Yuan Shao saved leniency with leniency, so there was no way to subdue it; Cao Cao's management measures of combining leniency with severity are timely.
The fourth is "victory": Yuan Shao is generous in appearance, suspicious in heart and cronyism to his children; Cao Cao, on the other hand, is "there is no doubt about employing people, and he is talented, regardless of distance", and his tolerance and mind are better than Yuan Shao's.
Fifth, "strive to win": Yuan Shao is helpless and indecisive; Cao Cao is alert and courageous, "the strain is endless."
The sixth is "Desheng": Yuan Shao has a good reputation and likes to be touted. "Scholars have more good words than ornaments"; Cao Cao treats scholars with sincerity; "Don't value vanity", pay attention to practicality, reward and punishment, "be generous to those who have made meritorious deeds", and those loyal, forward-looking and pragmatic scholars "are willing to use it".
Seventh is "Benevolence wins": Yuan Shaohuai is kind to women and hungry when he sees people. On the surface, he cares about the situation, but in fact, he "worries about what he doesn't see". This is not a politician's mind. Cao Cao may be careless about the small things in front of him, but he is "thoughtful and wicked" about the big things in the world. His kindness is everywhere.
The eighth is "Ming Sheng": Yuan Shao is confused by slanderers, and Cao Cao knows right from wrong. "It is impossible to control the enemy with Tao."
The ninth is Wensheng: Yuan Shao doesn't distinguish right from wrong, while Cao Cao "advances with courtesy" when he is right, and "obeys the law" when he is wrong.
The tenth is "Vu Thang": Yuan Shao used his troops "for vanity, and he didn't know what the soldiers wanted", while Cao Cao used his troops like gods, and his soldiers relied on them, and the enemy was afraid.
At present, Guo Jia pointed out that these ten aspects, including political measures, policies and decrees, organizational line, ideological accomplishment, tolerance, personality, style of writing and military strategy, are the key to the success of the cause.
Guo Jia's summary of "Ten Wins" for Cao Cao may also be a compliment to Cao Cao, who is new here, or an encouragement and request to Cao Cao. I hope he can hold on to the "ten victories", complete the great cause of unifying the world, and have a bright future for himself. Guo Jia can tell this "ten wins", which shows that he is not only an adviser who makes suggestions on the spur of the moment, but also has a complete set of theories.
