Cao Mengde is good at listening to Gou's opinions; Gou Jian analyzed the shape of the world, the advantages of our army and the disadvantages of Yuan Shao to Cao Cao, and our army dared to quote them boldly and publicize the meritorious military service. We have a clear distinction between reward and punishment for those who have made meritorious deeds and those who have been punished. However, Yuan Jun's internal affairs are dominated by relatives and lineages. How many literati are not reused, and they have the heart of injustice and enemies. Military commanders who have made meritorious deeds are not promoted, and people's hearts are unstable.
However, the battle of Guandu was opposed by everyone, and Yuan Shao tried his best to dissuade the audience. Yuan Shao's efforts are unpopular, and Yuan Shao doesn't listen to people's opinions. Nothing in the world is invincible. Listen to Gou Jian, Yuan Shao doesn't listen to Tian Feng and the giant; Listening to Liu Bei's idea of framing for self-protection and ignoring the loyalty of Xu You and others led to the loss of popular support. When the soldiers opened their mouths, Gao Lan saw that Yuan Shao was no good and there was nothing he could do, so he went to Cao Cao.
Cao Dayi informally adopted everyone's opinions. Seeing that the food and the garrison were empty, the attackers took them away. Yuan Jun is heartless, hungry and cold, and he can't bear to fight Cao Yuan. But Cao knew that everyone and Yuan Shao were forced by the former form, so he burned the letter and stopped chasing it. Everyone thought they were willing to devote themselves to Cao Cao.
