At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the princes were divided. Yuan Shao had Yan Liangwen under the ugly Zhang Gaolan, Liu Bei's subordinates Yu Zhang Fei Zhao Yun Ma Chao Huang Zhong Wei Yan, and Cao Cao under Zhang Liao Xu Chu Dian Wei Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Yuan Xiahou Huan. Even if it is capricious, Lü Bu, who was scolded by Zhang Fei as a family slave with three surnames, also has the general Zhang Liao Gaoshun, and the wenchen has Chen Gong and others. However, although Yuan Shu became emperor, he was always criticized by people, believing that Yuan Shu's civilian and military generals were so vulnerable.
So are Yuan Shu's men really a ragtag bunch?
Not really.
First, the Ji Ling, who cannot be underestimated. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Ji Ling is a native of Shandong and a general under Yuan Shu. Liu Bei was commanded to rebuke Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu was furious. Ji Ling raised an army of 500,000 to attack Xuzhou. When the two armies met in Xuyi, Ji Ling made a three-pointed knife weighing fifty pounds, and he was the first to go into battle and scolded: "Liu Bei village master, An dare to invade my realm!" Liu Bei replied, "I obey the edict of the Son of Heaven in order to please the courtiers, and Ru Jin dares to refuse, and the sin is intolerable!" Ji Ling slapped the horse dance knife and went straight to Xuan De. Guan Gong shouted, "PiFu Hugh got his way!" Facing Ji Ling, the battle was thirty times, regardless of victory or defeat. Of course, this Ji Ling later died at the hands of Zhang Fei.
Second, the four generals, Qiao Rui, Le Zheng, Li Feng, and Liang Gang. Battle between Yuan Shu and Cao Cao. Qiao Rui led Yuan Shu's vanguard army to encounter Xiahou Huan at the mouth of the Shouchun Border. Xiahou Huan went out of his horse and killed QiaoRui, whose army withdrew into the city. Sun Cejun rushed to the west and was about to arrive. The remaining three armies also attacked one side each, Cao Cao attacked the north, Lü Bu attacked the east, and Liu Bei attacked the south. Yuan Shu saw that he was in a desperate situation, and ordered Li Feng, Le Yi, Liang Gang, and Chen Ji to lead an army of 100,000 shou shou chun, pack up the treasury and lead the rest of the troops to flee across Huaihuai. Cao Cao's army needed a large amount of grain every day, and the area around Shouchun suffered several years of famine, and there was no way to help. Therefore, Cao Cao urged the army to fight quickly, but the Shouchun defenders tried to delay the battle as much as possible. The siege lasted for more than a month and made no progress. Cao Cao ran out of grain and wrote to Sun Ce to borrow 100,000 grain and rice. Cao Cao's strategy then ensured that the allies continued to attack the city to end the siege as soon as possible. The coalition forces entered the city and broke the gates, and the besieged defenders were captured. Li Feng, Le Zheng, Liang Gang, and Chen Ji were all captured and executed in public. You see, these four generals are not useless.
Third, the general Zhang Xun Liu Xun and the strategist Liu Ye. Zhang Xun was alone, Liu Xun had served as the Taishou of Lujiang, and was rampant in the Jianghuai area, and after Yuan Shu was destroyed, his single wood was difficult to support and was annexed by Sun Ce, Liu Xun later defected to Cao Cao, and an important adviser under him, Liu Ye, also came to Cao Cao's account. He made great contributions to Cao Cao.
Fourth, the courtier Yan Xiang. The main book, according to the original text of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the main book Yan Xiangjin said: "Since the past Zhou Dynasty, as for King Wen, he accumulated virtue and merit, and there were two of the three worlds, and he served Yin." Although the Ming Dynasty was Yi Shi Kechang, it did not have the prosperity of Zhou, and although the Han Room was small, it was not as violent as Yin Yi. "Shu Is not pleased. This means that Yuan Shu wanted to be emperor and held a meeting, but only the master bookkeeper Yan Xiang stood up against it, using the story that King Wen of Zhou, although he owned two-thirds of the world, also advised Yin Zhichen, yuan Shu did not listen, resulting in being destroyed. It can be seen that Yan Xiang is also non-attainable.
Of course, success is also Xiao He, and defeat is also Xiao He. Yuan Shu thought that with these people, he could cross the world, he did not think that he was not that piece of material, Yuan Shu this person looked down on people with ability, for example, he once gave Sun Jian Sun Ce father and son small shoes, forced away Han Hao, so Yuan Shu called the emperor naturally a rat's tail - can not grow.
