When they heard Zhang Yu's serious tone, Cao Cao and Cao Ren's expressions changed slightly. Then, they looked like they were asking for advice!
"Oh? Then, Mu Jun, tell me quickly, what is the drawback?”
Zhang Yu did not answer Cao Ren directly. Instead, he said to Cao Ren!
"Uncle Zixiao, you said before that you would support your nephew unconditionally, right?”
Seeing that Zhang Yu didn't ask any questions and instead wanted a promise from him, Cao Ren was a little puzzled. However, he still patted his chest and said!
"Of course, your uncle will definitely keep his word. Every word I say will be like a spittle and a nail. I will definitely not go back on my word!”
Zhang Yu smiled sinisterly when he saw Cao Ren's current appearance!
"That would be great!"
At this point, Zhang Yu also said to Cao Cao!
"Uncle started his career with the generals of the Cao and Xiahou clans as the leaders. Even Yue Jin and Li Dian are not ordinary!”
"However, in terms of status and distance, he is far inferior to all of you uncles. However, has Uncle ever thought that once his territory is expanded in the future, he will cross provinces and even counties!”
"When the clan relatives are no longer satisfied with setting up the entire world, what should we do when the clan relatives, surrendered generals, and other major factions fight?”
As soon as he said this, Cao Cao's expression changed!
Cao Ren, who had promised Zhang Yu, had a slight change in his expression. He was clearly in a dilemma!
What did this kid mean?
First, he used this sentence to block his mouth, and then he wanted to attack the clan relatives?
Would Cao Cao agree to such a thing?
Thus, Cao Ren, who was deep in thought, couldn't help but look at Cao Cao with a pleading expression!
Cao Cao, who understood Zhang Yu's words, had an ugly expression on his face!
After a long time, Cao Cao continued!
"Then how do you think we should change this flaw?”
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Zhang Yu revealed a smile!
Not to mention other things, just the trust Cao Cao had in him, whether it was because Zhang Yu was talented or because he was his nephew!
Because of this trust, Zhang Yu had to use his own strength to repay it!
At the same time, the glory and wealth he could obtain from this was also shocking!
Thus, Zhang Yu told Cao Cao and Cao Ren everything!
"Right now, Uncle has Cao Ren, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun in the Cao clan, and Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan in the Xiahou clan!”
"And I, Zhang Yu, can be called a family of blood brothers!”
When Zhang Yu said this, Cao Ren also showed some agreement!
Although he didn't know what Zhang Yu wanted to do, his words were enough to make the Cao Clan, Xiahou Clan, and even Zhang Yu's Zhang Clan unite!
"Although Gao Shun is the only one in the Surrendering General Faction, as it develops in the future, the number of people will continue to increase, and it might even become one of the largest factions!”
"Currently, there is only one strategist who has the ambition to play, but there are many talents in Yingchuan. In addition, governing the world requires civil officials, so the number of civil officials in the future will not be small!”
"There are also factions formed by generals like Le Jin and Li Dian who volunteered to join us!”
"Uncle, with Le Jin and Li Dian's talents, how do they compare to Zi Lian, Zi He, and Uncle?”
Hearing Zhang Yu's eloquent manner, Cao Cao also had a thoughtful expression. However, for some reason, Zhang Yu suddenly asked this question, causing Cao Cao to feel a little awkward!
To be honest, if Li Dian hadn't died early, his ability wouldn't be inferior to the five good generals!
Therefore, in terms of overall strength, Cao Hong and Cao Chun were inferior to Le Jin and Li Dian!
But if he really said that, what would Cao Ren think?
Hence, Cao Cao could not help but feel a little awkward. He then looked at Zhang Yu with dissatisfaction!
It was as if he was saying,'You brat, you only know how to give me such a difficult problem!'
Seeing that Cao Cao did not speak, Zhang Yu asked Cao Ren!
Looking at Zhang Yu who suddenly charged at him, Cao Ren was extremely conflicted. In the end, he could only say one sentence!
" Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. Zi He and Zi Lian are naturally closer. Le Jin and Li Dian are outsiders after all. This…"
Zhang Yu helplessly shook his head when he heard Cao Ren's words!
"Yes, that's the point. Although Uncle relied on the power of his family to start his career, if he wants to become a powerful dukedom in the future, or even a hegemon like the Warring States Period!”
"In that case, it is absolutely impossible to prioritize clan relatives, but talent. Whether it is surrendering generals, defecting, clan relatives, or civil officials, talent is the most important!”
"As long as you have the strength and can ensure their loyalty, even if you command the army and let the clan members serve under you, it's fine!”
Cao Cao was stunned by Zhang Yu's words!
Zhang Yu's words today could be said to have drawn a huge pie for Cao Cao!
Let's not talk about whether Cao Cao could become a hegemon like the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, but it was true that talent was the only way to be a ruler!
Cao Cao naturally understood, but many times, he would rather let his clan members suffer defeat than hand over military power to a surrendered general!
For example, during the Battle of Bowang Slope, Li Dian and Yu Jin were the deputy generals of Xiahou Dun and led the army to attack Xinye!
But in the end, Xiahou Dun underestimated the enemy and advanced recklessly, and Zhuge Liang burned down the 100,000-strong army!
Yu Jin and Li Dian had both tried to persuade Xiahou Dun, but because Xiahou Dun's position was extremely high, he was suppressed by a higher official rank, which was why he was defeated!
Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He's battle in Hanzhong was the same!
Therefore, a defeat like this could be completely avoided!
Not to mention, in the Cao Corporation, the status of the clan relatives was indeed too high, resulting in such defeats in the later stages!
That was also why Zhang Yu had such words to say!
For Cao Cao's benefit, it was necessary to restrain the clan relatives at certain times!
Of course, this was not to say that they would not give the clan relatives a promotion. Instead, they would give the surrendered generals and clan relatives a fair chance to compete.
After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Cao Cao completely understood Zhang Yu's worries!
However, there was a huge problem. Even if Cao Cao tried his best to give the generals a fair chance!
However, Cao Cao had very few soldiers under his command. It was already good enough for Zhang Yu to lead an army alone!
Where did Cao Cao get the soldiers to give everyone a chance to perform?
Regarding this problem, Zhang Yu expressed that in less than half a year, everyone would have the opportunity to lead an army alone!
Moreover, at that time, it would be the time to truly implement the rule of the capable!
