Chinese Culture-Historical Allusions] Yuan Shao once had the opportunity to blackmail the Son of Heaven to make the princes miss the opportunity due to hesitation.

Tian Feng said (Yuan) Shao said: "The plan related to the capital, neither restraint, should be approved as soon as possible, meet the Son of Heaven, move the edict, and order the sea, this is counted." No, in the end, it will be fowled, although it is useless to regret renting. "I don't obey.

Zizhi Tongjian, vol. 62.

In 196 AD, Cao Cao took the trump card of Emperor Han Xian and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. This trick is really smart, occupying the nominal high ground and making a lot of money.

For example, Yuan Shao, who always received the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty at that time, although he understood that this edict was Cao Cao's meaning, but nominally it was the emperor's, and he had to respect it, so he felt very inconvenient. "Zizhi Tongjian" records: "Every time Yuan Shao gets an edict, he suffers from the inconvenience of laughing at himself."

What if it's inconvenient? Yuan Shao also had an idea, planning to place the emperor not far from him, "wanting to move the Son of Heaven to himself".

At that time, the relationship between Yuan Shao and Cao Cao was not bad, so in 198 AD, Yuan Shao sent someone to Cao Cao and said: Xuchang has a low geographical location, a humid climate, and Luoyang is too badly damaged. Cao Cao is a shrewd person, as soon as he heard it, he knew that Yuan Shao wanted to rob him of the Son of Heaven, and he resolutely refused to agree, how could you get this trump card?

Cao Cao did not agree, and the strategist Tian Feng persuaded Yuan Shao that since the surname Cao was disobedient and did not move the capital, then we would attack Xuchang, take the Son of Heaven over, and hold the Son of Heaven hostage to command the world, which is the best policy. Otherwise, we will eventually be killed by Cao Cao.

Tian Feng's strategy is actually to transplant Cao Cao's role to Yuan Shao and win the trump card of the Son of Heaven. This was originally a good plan, but Yuan Shao was worried again: This Tianzi Honghan has taken it back, and I, Yuan Shao, am not the boss, will I listen to the emperor or listen to me Yuan Shao?

Yuan Shao, who couldn't sort out the relationship between his superiors and subordinates, finally rejected Tian Feng's suggestion and missed the opportunity.

While Yuan Shao was still hesitating, one of his soldiers had defected to Cao Cao, saying that Tian Feng had suggested seizing the emperor. Cao Cao was fighting Zhang Xiu on the front line, and he was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, and immediately withdrew his troops to defend Xuchang and prevent Yuan Shao from robbing people. For Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao regarded him as a treasure, and Yuan Shao regarded him as a chicken rib, and the difference between the strategies of the two was manifested in this attitude.

In the competitive landscape, there is only one trump card, some people rush to ask for it, and some people love it, so success may also ignore the latter.
