Yuan Shao, who was born in the Yuan clan of Runan, the third duke of the fourth dynasty, was quite talented when he was young, and he was able to break the corporal, and the future was bright; because after six years of delay in keeping filial piety, he did not fall silent, but secretly made friends with a large number of party members, and after returning to the court, he became a confidant of the great general He Jin; later, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, he fled alone, still making Dong Zhuo jealous; in the chaos of the heavens, he began to fight for hegemony, unified the four states of Hebei, and became the largest prince at that time, even Cao Cao had to rely on his nose.
Although later, Yuan Shao was defeated after the Battle of Guandu and had no power to turn around, his early achievements cannot be denied. Of course, he was able to achieve such an achievement, in addition to his own outstanding ability, but also indispensable to the assistance of his civilian and military generals. Speaking of the military generals under Yuan Shao, many people may only think of Yan Liang, Wen Ugly, as well as Zhang Gao, Gao Lan and others, after all, the four of them are called "Hebei Four Court Pillars" in the rendition. However, if we carefully read the historical data, we will find that because of Yuan Shao's early exit, the performance of these four people under Yuan Shao's command is hardly recorded, and only a few comments from other people prove that they are indeed capable.
In fact, Yuan Shao's really powerful subordinates, in the process of unifying the four states of Hebei, was another general, and if he did not die, Yan Liangwen and others might not be able to stand out at all. Why? Who is this person? Let's take a look.
This warrior's name was "Koji Yi", written in simplified As "Quyi", born in the Western Liang region, and had a part of his own, namely "First Deng Death Soldier". He had originally served Han Fu, but later rebelled, and by his own efforts, he defeated the army that Han Fu had come to fight, and then allied with Yuan Shao, forcing Han Fu to cede Jizhou and become Yuan Shao's subordinate. Just imagine, a person who can defeat the history of a state assassin by his own part alone, how outstanding koji's ability is, I believe everyone can imagine.
Speaking of which, some people may say, why is Koji so powerful? Wasn't he killed in the Battle of the Boundary Bridge when he met Zhao Yun? In fact, this is just a fiction in the interpretation, in real history, Koji not only did not die in the Battle of Jieqiao, but also performed very brilliantly in this battle - he only led his own "first to die" to engage Gongsun Zhan's army, and through his own courage and reasonable tactical arrangements, he not only defeated Gongsun Zhan's large army, but also completely annihilated his "white horse yicong".
You know, although Gongsun Zhan was out earlier than Yuan Shao, he was not an incompetent person, he had often dealt with foreign races since he first debuted, and according to Youzhou, he had become a barrier during the Period, and it could even be said that he was threatening Northern Xinjiang. And his "white horse righteous congregation" is even more elite, and even in that era, it can be called one of the best cavalry units. However, all this is not enough to see in the face of Koji -- all this is not a fabrication, but a clear reference to the historical data.
The "Hero's Record" records: "Shao Ling Yi took eight hundred soldiers as the first to ascend, and the crossbow was thousands of zhang, and Shao Zi formed a formation with tens of thousands of infantry. Yi Jiu is in Liangzhou, Xiao Xi Qiang Dou, and the soldiers are all sharp. Seeing that his soldiers were small, he let him ride and wanted to go to the battlefield. The righteous soldiers all stood still, not to dozens of steps, but at the same time they all rose up, shouted dust, clashed straight ahead, thundered with crossbows, and fell in the middle, and they were about to fall, and they were about to slash the Jizhou Assassin Shi Yan Gangjia who was in charge of the battle. The Army was defeated, and it rode on foot and horseback, and did not return to the camp. The righteous chased to the boundary bridge; the soldiers of the Zhan Temple were still on the bridge, and the righteousness was broken, so they went to the camp and pulled out their teeth, and the rest of the camp dispersed. ”
Then, why was it that in the process of Yuan Shao's struggle for hegemony with other princes, Koji Yi disappeared, but was robbed of the limelight by "rising stars" such as Yan Liang and Wen Ugly? It turned out that after the Battle of Jieqiao, Koji Yi relied on his own ability and merit, began to swell, and even had a disobedient heart towards Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao, who did not want to become the second Han Fu, chose to kill him, so Koji, whose combat effectiveness exploded, was lost in the long river of history.
