People familiar with the Three Kingdoms should know that Cao Cao was able to defeat Yuan Shao because he won the Battle of Guandu. The turning point of the Battle of Guandu was Cao Cao's "burning of the Wuchao". The Wuchao defender is the Eastern Han General Chun Yuqiong that the small editor of interesting history wants to explain to you. In the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Chun Yuqiong's character image is already synonymous with the stupid and incompetent wine bag rice bag, and it is precisely because he drank all day that Yuan Shao was defeated at the Battle of Guandu.
So is Chun Yu Qiong really as bad as it is said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Chun Yu Qiong (?-200), courtesy name Zhongjian, was a native of Yingchuan (颍川, in modern Yuzhou, Henan). In the fifth year (188) of the Han Ling Emperor Zhongping, he began to set up the eight lieutenants of Xiyuan, Chun Yuqiong appointed as the right lieutenant, all under the unified command of Jian Shuo, Hu Ben Zhonglang made Yuan Shao a lieutenant of the middle military school, and Yilang Cao Cao served as a lieutenant of the canonical military academy. Can be with Cao Cao, Yuan Shao colleagues, sitting on an equal footing, how can this position be a wine bag rice bag can sit firmly?
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao had strong family backgrounds and formed their own forces, and Chun Yuqiong was also recruited by Yuan Shao, the largest force at the time, because of his outstanding ability, and entrusted with heavy responsibilities. In the second year of Xingping (195), Emperor Xian of Han went into exile in Hedong and other places, and was frustrated that Yuan Shao advise Yuan Shao to welcome Emperor Xian, move the capital to Yicheng, and blackmail Tianzi to order the princes, but Chun Yuqiong and others thought that it would be too difficult to revive the Han Dynasty, and that welcoming Emperor Han would weaken his power, and emperor Xiandi's ascension was basically not in line with Yuan Shao's wishes, so Yuan Shao did not adopt. The following year, however, Cao Cao, with the support of Xun Yu, welcomed the emperor to move the capital xu county, and successfully blackmailed tianzi to order the princes.
In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army held a strategic battle at Guandu (present-day northeast of Zhongmu, Henan), where they fought a strategic decisive battle. In October of the same year, Yuan Shao sent Chun Yu Qiong to lead more than 10,000 troops, escorted grain trucks, and camped in Wuchao, forty miles north. At this time, Xu You, an important strategist of Yuan Shao, defected to Cao Cao and told Cao Cao some secrets within Yuan's army. After Cao Cao heard this, he decided to personally lead 5,000 infantry and cavalry to attack, and at this time, Chun Yu Qiong saw that Cao had few soldiers and organized a battle. However, due to the fact that Cao Cao's army was under cao Cao's personal command, the attack was fierce, and Chun Yuqiong was defeated.
After hearing the news that Cao Cao had attacked Chun Yu Qiong, Yuan Shao sent light troops to rescue Chun Yu Qiong, and sent heavy troops to attack Cao Jun's camp. The soldiers of the Cao army all fought desperately, so they broke the Yuan army, not only that, Cao Cao also cut off Chun Yuqiong's nose, killed more than a thousand soldiers, cut off all their noses, and sent them to the Yuan army along with the tongues of cattle and horses.
Afterwards, Chun Yu Qiong was captured by Cao's general Lejin and brought to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked him how he had become so fielded, and Chun Yu Qiong was also very ambitious, answering that victory or defeat was controlled by Heaven. Cao Cao, who wanted to keep Chun Yu Qiong's life, agreed to kill Chun Yu Qiong at the advice of Xu You, and was subsequently beheaded by Le Jin.
