The great general Yuan Shao's sphere of influence
Yuan Shao was born in the family of the famous family "Runan," the third duke of the Yuan clan, and Yuan Shao began to serve under the general He Jin, successively serving as a lieutenant of the Chinese military academy and a lieutenant of the division, and participated in the command of the killing of eunuchs. Angrily rebuking Dong Zhuo, he was appointed as the Taishou of Bohai and was enthroned as the Marquis of Kwong Township. In the first year of Chuping (190), he served as the leader of the Kwantung Coalition Army, led an army against Dong Zhuo, and called himself a general on horseback. He successively occupied the areas of Jizhou, Qingzhou, Hezhou, and Youzhou, unified the Hebei region, made good friends with the ethnic minorities in the north, and reached the peak of his power. At the peak of his power, there were also many famous military generals under him, including Tian Feng, Frustrated Zhi, Xu You, Zhen Bei, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, etc., and the military generals included Yan Liang, Wen Ugly, Gao Lan, Zhang Gao, Han Meng, Ju Yi, etc., among which Yan Liang was ugly, and Gao Lan Zhang Jaw was called the Hebei Four Court Pillars by Mr. Zhang Guoliang, which means that these four people supported Yuan Shao's hebei situation, and today I will briefly introduce the four people!
Yan Liang
Yan Liang (燕良), courtesy name Gongji, was a native of Tangyang County, Anping County (present-day Xinhe County, Hebei Province). Yan Liang was a military general under Yuan Shao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, known for his prestige. In fact, Yan Liang was mentioned during Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, and after Yu Shi and Pan Feng were beheaded by Hua Xiong, Yuan Shao said with chagrin: "Yan Liang and Wen Ugly have one person here, why be afraid of Hua Xiong!" Enough to show its bravery!
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Yuan Shao and Cao Cao fought at Guandu. At the beginning of the war, Yuan Shao was advised: "Yan Weiliang is anxious not to appoint himself alone. However, Yuan Shao still attacked the Cao general Liu Yan (劉延), who was alone guarding the white horse, with Yan Liang. Faced with this situation, Cao Cao's adviser Xun You suggested that he first cross the river at Yanjin (延津, in present-day Eastern Ji County, Henan) and make a gesture of attacking the rear of Yuan's army, inducing Yuan Shao to divide his forces into Yanjin. Then, the light troops rushed forward and rushed to attack the white horse, attacking it unprepared. Cao Cao followed his plan, and Yuan Shao did indeed divide his troops to the west and advance into Yanjin. When Cao Cao took the opportunity to lead his troops to the white horse, and when he was more than ten miles away from the white horse, Yan Liang was greatly shocked and hurried to meet the battle. Cao Cao sent the generals Zhang Liao and Guan Yu to lead the vanguard to attack, and guan Yu saw Yan Liangqiai (the general's chariot, set up a building and Zhang Gai) in front of the Prancing Horse Formation, and rushed straight over, stabbed Yan Liang to death among the crowd, and beheaded him. Cao Cao ordered the army to rush to kill, the Yuan army was defeated and scattered, and the siege of The White Horse was lifted.
Yan Liang's ability to defeat Xu Huang in twenty rounds is enough to show that personal martial courage may be above Zhang Liao and Hua Xiong, but his command ability is still relatively lacking, and if necessary, the unified army can be used with a strategist!
Ugly
Wen Ugly, a brave general under Yuan Shao at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty! And Yan Liang's name is the same, the two people in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms are brothers in life and death! It was also mentioned by Yuan Shao during the period of discussion with Dong, Sun Jian's private jade seal was discovered by Yuan Shao, and Yan Liang and Wen Ugly were opposite to Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang drawing swords and swords. When Yuan Shao plotted to force Han Fu to seize Jizhou, Guan Chun assassinated Yuan Shao and was beheaded by Wen Ugly. In the Battle of Panhe, Wen Ugly raised his horse and shot straight to the bridge, defeated Gongsun Zhan for more than ten times, and when pursued, he was besieged by four members of Gongsun Zhan's jian generals, Wen Ugly stabbed one general and dismounted, the other three will escape, and fought with Zhao Yun for 60 rounds without winning or losing, and then with Yan Liang as the vanguard, attacking Gongsun Zhan and pacifying Hebei. Cao and Yuan Guandu engaged in battle, the pioneer Yan Liang attacked the white horse and was beheaded, Wen Ugly led the army to avenge it, according to Yanjin to challenge Cao Cao, but the enemy's plan and the army was in turmoil, Wen Ugly stood up to fight alone, shot back Zhang Liao, and Xu Huang fought a big battle without winning or losing, chasing Guan Yu in pursuit, the battle was not three, the heart was timid, and Guan Yu caught up and beheaded under the horse!
Wen Ugly is not bad in terms of personal martial courage, but unfortunately, Wen Ugly's military discipline is too poor, and when he encounters Cao Cao's adulterous male who uses soldiers like gods, plus guan Yu, Xiahou Yuan, and Zhang Liao, such generals can only drink and hate!
Zhang Gao
Zhang Gao (張郃), courtesy name 儁乂, was a native of Juan County, Hejian County (present-day Renqiu City, Hebei Province). In his early years, he participated in the suppression of the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the name of Sima Ofhan Fujun. After Han Fu ceded Ji Prefecture, it belonged to Yuan Shao, and after defeating Gongsun Zhan, he had a lot of merit and moved to the general of the NingGuo Zhonglang. When participating in the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao attacked the Granary of Wuchao, and Zhang Gao persuaded Yuan Shao to lead troops to rescue Wuchao, but Yuan Shao listened to Guo Tu, did not listen to Zhang Guo's advice, and sent Zhang Gao and Gao Lan to attack the main camp of the Cao army, but did not capture the main camp of the Cao army that Cao Hong and Xun You were holding, and at the same time, the grain and grass of Wuchao were also robbed and burned by the Cao army. Guo Tu was ashamed of the failure of his plan, so he framed: "Zhang Gao is happy about the defeat of our army, and he is not inferior. Zhang Gao and other generals were afraid of being held accountable, so they burned the siege and surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was pleased with Zhang Gao's surrender, personally greeted and said that "if The micro son goes to Yin, Han Xin returns to Han Ye", and zhang Gao is made a partial general and the Marquis of Duting.
Zhang Gao's martial courage is no less than Yan Liangwen's, and his command ability is relatively outstanding, which is a rare martial general with both wisdom and courage! It was only Yuan Shao, who was a man of great ambition and talent, did not know how to distinguish talents, and his advisers were vying for power and profit, and they also wanted to frame loyal and good generals, so they had no choice but to surrender Zhang Guo to Cao Cao, and they could not blame Zhang Guo for being disloyal and unjust!
High view
Gao Lan,also known as Gao Yan (高奂), was originally a general under Yuan Shao, who was defeated by Cao Cao during the Battle of Guandu, and Gao Lan fought with Xu Chu without winning or losing. When Cao Cao secretly attacked Wuchao, Yuan Shao obeyed Guo Tu's plan and ordered Gao Lan and Zhang Gao to lead troops to attack Cao Cao's main camp, but they did not attack, fearing that Yuan Shao would blame him, so he surrendered to Cao Cao with Zhang Gao and was given the title of General of partiality and Marquis of Eastern Lai!
Gao Lan's strength value and commander's strength are at the upper middle level, although the specifics are not reflected, but its ability to be rated on the list of the Four Court Pillars of Hebei can be seen!
Therefore, the end of the Hebei Four Court Pillars is that two people die and two people surrender, if Yuan Shao is the Ming Lord, the civilian and military generals under him are the best of contemporary ability, and the end of the Three Kingdoms is estimated to become Yuan Shao's seizure of the world, the unification of the dynasty, and history may also be rewritten!
