"Romance of the Three Kingdoms", a classic masterpiece, is deeply loved by people, and this novel is also based on real history. In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the politics of the imperial court were dark, and the land annexation was serious, which led to turmoil in the Han Dynasty, and the people could not live and work in peace and contentment. At this time, Zhang Jiao called on the people to spontaneously form the "Yellow Turban Army" to oppose the rule of the Han Dynasty.
At the same time, all parts of the country began to respond to the uprising, and the masses everywhere rose up, trying to take advantage of the chaos to divide the world. Among them, the most famous heroes were Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Gongsun Zhan, Sun Ce and Liu Bei, and in the early days of chaos, the strength of Gongsun Zhan and others was very strong.
Gongsun Zhan was a military general at the end of the Han Dynasty, and because of his handsome appearance and sleek and intelligent personality, he was favored by the local taishou and married his daughter to him. And Gongsun Zhan also lived up to the expectations of the people, and when he was stationed in the border areas, he made meritorious contributions one after another and successfully quelled the rebellion of the ethnic minorities in the border areas. After that, he was promoted to the rank of knight, and under the command of Emperor Xian of Han, he broke the Yellow Turban Army.
Although Gongsun Zhan at that time belonged to the Han Dynasty, in the end, because Emperor Xian of Han took a fancy to Liu Yu, he promoted Liu Yu one after another. And Liu Yu was proud of his achievements, afraid that Gongsun Zhan would rob him of his credit, so he targeted Gongsun Zhan everywhere, which made Gongsun Zhan always excluded in the army. So Gongsun Zhan couldn't bear it anymore and killed Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was a han dynasty royal family, and after Gongsun Zhan killed Liu Yu, he officially broke off relations with the Han Dynasty. Although Gongsun Zhan's starting point was very high, he ultimately failed because he did not have the kind of heart of Liu Bei. In 198 AD, Yuan Shao's army broke through Gongsun Zhan's defenses and successfully forced Gongsun Zhan to a dead end. In 199 AD, after several months in a predicament, he knew that he had no power to return to heaven, so he set fire to himself.
Although Gongsun Zhan did not end well in the end, his tactical strategy and high martial arts could not be erased. Under Gongsun Zhan's command, there were once three great generals, who had conquered large and small cities and pools, and were also three very famous figures. Two of them submitted to Cao Cao and Liu Bei, while the other died unyieldingly in the war.
Strict outline
Speaking of Yan Gang, many people may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to "white horse from the rebel army", I believe many people will know, because the famous general Zhao Yun of the Shu Han Dynasty is a member of the white horse from the rebel army, and Yan Gang is also a member of this army. Yan Gang had always been valued by Gongsun Zhan, who made Yan Gang the biggest general under him, and Yan Gang was indeed powerful, but in a war, Yan Gang was killed.
In 192, Gongsun Zhan and Yuan Shao went to war in the Hebei region. In this war, Gongsun Zhan originally set up a square formation and was confident, but he was broken by Yuan Shao's generals with bows and arrows, and he was defeated. In this battle, the general Yan Gang at home was also captured by Yuan Shao because of his defeat. Yuan Shao was very attached to Yan Gang and wanted to take him under his command, but Yan Gang preferred to die and was finally executed by Yuan Shao.
Zhao Yun
Although Zhao Yun was under Gongsun Zhan, he was not valued by him, and he once snubbed him. At that time, Liu Bei had nowhere to turn to because of the uprising, so he defected to his fellow brother Gongsun Zhan, and in Gongsun Zhan's army, he saw Zhao Yun, who was not reused, so he married Zhao Yun as a brother, and the two became intimate.
After Gongsun Zhan's death, Liu Bei's military power weakened, and he was defeated by Cao Cao, and he prepared to defect to Yuan Shao. On the way, he met Zhao Yun, so the two talked all night, and Zhao Yun decided to follow Liu Bang. However, Yuan Shao's army was really not a good place to go, so the two agreed and decided to go to Jingzhou to join Liu Biao.
Tian Yu
Tian Yu was a relatively young general under Gongsun Zhan, and he was still young when Liu Bei first defected to Gongsun Zhan. In the early days, Tian Yu took a leave of absence to go home for a few years because of the illness of his mother at home, and finally he was picked up by Gongsun Zhan and appointed as a general. One of Gongsun Zhan's generals rebelled and joined forces with Yuan Shao's army to attack Gongsun Zhan, which was a great crisis, and the generals in the city did not hold out hope, but Tian Yu used his wisdom to resolve them one by one.
After Gongsun Zhan's defeat, Tian Yu analyzed the situation in the world, believing that Cao Cao had the talent to rule the world, and called on his friends and him to rush to Cao Cao, otherwise they would be eliminated by Cao Cao in the future. Cao Cao was a man of great talent, and seeing that Tian Yu was talented, he took him under his command. Since then, Tian Yu has been helping Cao Cao, helping him to fight everywhere, and has also been highly used by Cao Cao.
