Qixia and Greed: On Yuan Shu and his so-called "Qixia" Yuan Shu started the so-called "greedy" summary with "Qixia"

What you gain by luck will also lose by strength.

Yuan Shu was a tyrant at the end of the Han Dynasty, who plotted against Jingzhou, fought for Yuzhou, went north to Yanzhou, and then divided Yangzhou, once becoming the most powerful warlord in the southeast.

Although Yuan Shujia had a great career and claimed the title of emperor (197), his historical evaluation was not high. Chen Shou called him "extravagant and wanton", Fan Ye called him "deceitful and arrogant", and Pei Songzhi even scolded him for "people and ghosts with the same disease", and his hatred was overflowing with words.

The reason why Yuan Shu's historical evaluation is so bad is closely related to his personal characteristics.

Judging from the historical records, Yuan Shu's personality traits are twofold: one is qixia, and the other is greed.

Yuan Shu started as a "qi man" and died because of "greed", which can be described as a rational number.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > the so-called "gas man"</h1>

"Qixia" is one of the typical characteristics of Yuan Shu.

Both the Book of Wei and the Book of the Later Han Dynasty call Yuan Shu "chivalrous".

Yuan Shuzi Highway, Sikong Fengzi, Shao Zhi Congdi also. Smell chivalrous. --The Book of Wei, The Biography of Yuan Shu

Yuan Shuzi Highway, Runan, Ruyang people, Sikong Feng's son also. Less chivalrous. --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Yuan Shu

The Biography of He Jin also mentions "Yuan Shu Shangqixia".

Tiger Ben Zhonglang (袁) Shu (袁) Shu,also Shang Qixia. --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of He Jin

The "hero" in "Qixia" mainly refers to the Ranger.

The "hero" is the warrior who "sees danger and gives orders to save the times".

Ranger Ben, born in Wuyi. Do not hold back for a long time, do not forget the words of ordinary life, see the danger and give orders, in order to save the times and difficulties, and help the same kind. --Han Dynasty, Vol. 10

In the context of the turmoil at the end of the Han Dynasty, many Hao celebrities also advocated the spirit of rangers. For example, Yuan Shao "summoned the dead", Zhang Mi "Zhen Poor rescue", Xu You "went to difficulties without being afraid of his feet", all of which were like this.

(Yuan Shao) Good Ranger... Zhao Zhong, the Zhongchang attendant, said of Zhu Huangmen: "Yuan Benchu sat down as a voice price, and should not be called to raise a dead soldier, I don't know what this child wants to do?" "Heroes"

(Zhang Miao) is less chivalrous, zhen poor and emergency, loveless, and returned to him. --Wei Shu Lü Bu Biography - Supplementary Biography

Although Xu Ziyuan (許佑字子遠) is not pure, he is not afraid to go to difficulties. --"The Chronicles of famous men at the end of the Han Dynasty"

Qixia and Greed: On Yuan Shu and his so-called "Qixia" Yuan Shu started the so-called "greedy" summary with "Qixia"

Yuan Shao sat as a voice, and should not be called to raise a dead soldier

Therefore, one of the meanings of Yuan Shu's "qi man" is to make friends with the three religions and nine streams, and to seek false names, that is, the so-called "sitting as a sound price".

The "qi" in qixia has another meaning.

Qi itself has many interpretations, and is generally interpreted as "courage". This is the allusion of "one drum, then decay, three exhaustion". But Yuan Shu's qi man has another metaphor.

Yuan Shu was born into a gong clan, relied on the power of the family, and was a eunuch with a smooth path, and an official to the rank of lieutenant of Changshui. Lieutenant Changshui was one of the five colonels of the Northern Army, in charge of the Forbidden Army of the Beijing Division, and held a dignified position.

During his tenure as a lieutenant in Changshui, Yuan Shu was "a good luxury, a carriage and a horse, and a man of high spirits", so he was called "a fierce ghost in the road".

(Yuan) Shu is a lieutenant of Changshui, a good luxury, a carriage and a horse, and a high person with qi. The rumor said: "Yuan Changshui, a fierce ghost in the road." "--Beitang Shuqian" cites "Wei Zhi"

Combined with the context of the context, it can be seen that Yuan Shu's "exaltation of people with qi" is actually "bullying people". Among them, "qi" refers to power.

By analogy, Xiahou Yuan's son Xiahou Yuan said that he held his father's prominent position and loved to make a splash in the circle of nobles. Whenever he feasted, he "sat down in the air", which was actually a bully.

(Xiahou claimed) and Emperor Wen (Cao Pi) were friends with cloth, and every banquet, the Qi Ling sat down, and the debaters could not bend. --"Wei Jin Shiyu"

Therefore, the precise explanation of "Shangqixia" is that Yuan Shu relied on the power of the family and made friends with the rivers and lakes.

Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with the situation that "Hao Jie was attached to Yuan Shao", saying that "the group does not follow me, but from my family slaves".

Hao Jie was attached to (Yuan) Shao, and (Yuan) Shu was furious: "The group does not follow me, but slaves from my family!" --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Yuan Shu

The so-called "Qunzhu" refers to the disciples of the Three Sects and Nine Streams; the "family slave" refers to Yuan Shao, the son of yuan. From these remarks, it can be seen that Yuan Shu is "high on the one hand" and "good ranger" on the other hand.

Qixia and Greed: On Yuan Shu and his so-called "Qixia" Yuan Shu started the so-called "greedy" summary with "Qixia"

Hao Jie was attached to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu was furious

Yuan Shu was born noble, and his identity was naturally different from that of the jianghu grass. His "Good Shang Ranger" can be regarded as "Ye Gong Good Dragon"; but the Han Men warriors who lacked social status at that time did need yuan shu and other noble relatives as a backstage, so there was a basis for cooperation between the two sides.

From the records of Wei Luo, it can be seen that the ranger forces under Yuan Shu had already formed a scale in the last year of Zhongping (189), and were called "ministry parties", that is, cliques.

At the end of Xingping (as "Zhongping"), Yuan Shubu and Taizu (referring to Cao Cao) attacked and robbed, and Taizu was out and pursued by Kou. - "Wei Luo"

Note: For the time survey of "Xingping" and "Zhongping", see Fang Shiming's "Yuan Shu and Sun Jian". Wenduo does not load.

Judging from the historical development, the personality characteristics of Yuan Shu's "Shangqi Hero" have brought him rich rewards for his future career.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="201" > Yuan Shu was born as a "qi man"</h1>

Yuan Shu's behavior of "good Shang Ranger" made him gain a wide reputation in the jianghu, and many martial heroes who lacked status cooperated with Yuan Shu.

The typical case is Sun Jian.

Sun Jian came from a low background, and Chen Shou called him "a lonely trace". From the "Book of Song", "Youminglu", "Taiping Royal Records" and other historical materials, it can be seen that the Fuchun Sun clan "planted melons for the industry".

Sun Jian's ancestral name (Sun) Zhong, whose family is in Fuchun, Wu County, lives alone with his mother, has a filial piety, suffers from years of famine, and grows melons as his profession. --Book of Song, Fu Ruizhishang

Sun Jianyong is sincere and resolute, and he has a faint trace. --"Wu Shu, The Biography of Sun Shao"

Although Sun Jian had already reached the post of Taishou of Changsha when he cooperated with Yuan Shu (190), he was repeatedly despised by his superiors and colleagues because of his humble origins.

Jingzhou assassin Shi Wang Rui "verbally invaded", and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi "refused to send a tone", and the contempt overflowed into words.

(Wang) Ruixian and (Sun) Jian jointly attacked Zero and Gui Thief, and took Jian as a military attaché, which was quite light. --Wu Lu

(Sun) Jian went to Nanyang and moved Taishou to ask for military food. (Zhang) consulted gang ji (referring to the county gong cao), gang ji said: "(Sun) Jian Lin County two thousand stones, should not be transferred." "(Zhang) Consulted and did not cooperate. --"Emperor Spring and Autumn"

At that time (190), Yuan Shu happened to be living in Nanyang because he avoided the disaster of Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuozhi deposed the emperor and took (Yuan) Shu as his rear general; Shu was also afraid of Zhuo's calamity and went out to Nanyang. --The Book of Wei, The Biography of Yuan Shu

After Sun Jian killed Taishou Zhangzhi, the two quickly cooperated. Yuan Shu was the main force, supplemented by Sun Jian, and marched north to plot Against Yuzhou.

Although Sun Ce secretly referred to this matter as "alliance and alliance", in fact, looking at Sun Jian's acceptance of Yuan Shu's official position (Yuzhou Assassin History), it can be seen that Sun Jian was a subject, Yuan Shu was a king, and there was a clear distinction between honor and inferiority.

(Sun) ce went to Shouchun to see Yuan Shu, and wept and said: "The deceased father (Sun Jian) once entered Dong Zhuo from Changsha, and he and the Ming envoy Jun (referring to Yuan Shu) would make an alliance in Nanyang; unfortunately, he was killed, and his career did not end. "--The Biography of Jiang Biao"

(Sun Jian) meets Yuan Shu. (Yuan) Shubiao (Sun) Jianxing broke the general and led the history of Yuzhou's assassination. --"Wu Shu, The Biography of Sun Shao"

Qixia and Greed: On Yuan Shu and his so-called "Qixia" Yuan Shu started the so-called "greedy" summary with "Qixia"

Yuan Shu's cousin Sun Jianxing (袁術) was a general who led the Yu Prefecture Assassins

At that time (190), Yuan Shu, who lived in Nanyang, was just a guest traveler who was "a lonely passenger and a poor car, relying on people's noses", which was no different from the commander of the light pole. How could he command Sun Jian, who was strong and strong?

This is because Yuan Shu is famous and Sun Jian has soldiers. In the social environment of the late Han Dynasty, warlords could not achieve long-term rule by force alone, and they had to cooperate with scholars. The fate of Dong Zhuo Group fully proves this theory.

In fact, in order to control Jingzhou, Sun Jian also took the initiative to cooperate with Cao Yin, The Taishou of Wuling, Liu Xiang of Jiangxia, and others; but unfortunately it ended in failure.

(Cao) Yin was afraid, and the perpetrator of the fraud, Guanglu Dafu Wen Yi, moved (Sun) Jian, said (Wang) Rui was guilty, and ordered the execution to be punished. (Sun) Jian is the chengxi, and the soldiers attack (Wang) Rui. --Wu Lu

(Liu) Xiang, General Ofe-Taishou of Jiangxia and General of Lang Kou. Shi Sun Jian raised an army to beg Dong Zhuo, and Nanyang Taishou Zhang Zhi did not give the army food and killed him. (Liu) Xiang and (Sun Jian) are in the same heart. --The Legend of the Lingling Sages

In this context, Yuan Shu can provide the social status that Sun Jian needs; Sun Jian can provide the military strength that Yuan Shu needs, and there is a driving force for cooperation between the two sides.

If you pay attention to Yuan Shu's personality traits, you will find that the jianghu reputation of "Shangqi Man" must have played an important role in it.

This is like Song Jiang in "Water Margin", although his qualifications are mediocre, he is famous, so he will always be regarded as a guest of honor by various forces, and even respected as an ally.

In addition to Sun Jian, many of the "Ranger Outlaws" were successively subordinated to Yuan Shu.

(1) The Montenegrin Army and Uvros

The Black Mountain Army, the Yellow Turban Branch led by Zhang Yan, was originally a Liukou in Jizhou, and was once recruited by emperor Ling, but after the death of emperor Ling (189), the black mountain army once again threw itself into the Central Plains.

During the Chuping period (190-193), Zhang Yan accepted a recruitment from the Chang'an court (see Zang Hongchuan) against Yuan Shao, and thus joined forces with Yuan Shu.

Foot (referring to Yuan Shao) ridiculed Me for bullying Montenegro for saving, and did not recite the Yellow Turban's union from evil! Jia Feiyan (referring to Zhang Yan) belonged to the king. --The Biography of Zang Hong, Book of Wei

Yufu Luo was a Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu who worked with Yuan Shao and later defected (see Zhang Yang's Biography) and was therefore subordinate to Yuan Shu.

The Montenegrin Army and Yufu Luo assisted Yuan Shu in his crusade against Yanzhou (193-194), but was defeated by the combined forces of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu was forced to move east to Huainan.

(Yuan) led the army into Chen Liu, Tun FengQiu, The Remaining Thieves of montenegro, and YuFuluo. --The Book of Wei, The Biography of Yuan Shu

When Yuan Shu's army defeated Yanzhou, he lost his base area of Nanyang due to the encirclement and suppression of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao. Therefore, which force Yuan Shu relied on to make a comeback had to be analyzed.

(Chuping) In the spring of the fourth year, (Cao Cao) jun Juancheng. Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao cut off (Yuan) Shu Grain Road. --Book of Wei, Chronicle of Emperor Wu

(Yuan Shu) was rejected by Cao Cao's rebellion, and fled and fled, almost to the point of extinction. --Heroes

Yuan Shu was able to capture Huainan by relying on the remnants of Sun Jian.

At that time (193), Sun Jian was dead, and Yuan Shu sent Sun Ben (Sun Jian's brother) to lead the old huaisi army to attack Yinling County, Jiujiang County, and use Yinling County as a bridgehead to capture huainan.

(Yuan) Shu congunciation (Yuan) Shao used Hui Ji Zhou Ang as Jiujiang Taishou, Shao and Shu did not cooperate, Shu (Sun) Ben attacked (Zhou) Ang In Yin Ling. --The Book of Wu, The Biography of Sun Ben

(Yuan) shu was defeated by Fengqiu and moved south to Shouchun. (Chen) Yu refused to accept it. (Yuan) shu retreated to Baoyin Ling, and joined forces (when sun benjun) attacked (Chen) Yu, Yu was afraid, and returned to Xia Pi. --Heroes

Sun Ben is famous for Xiao Yong, and is naturally very similar to Yuan Shu of the "Shang Qi Xia". He accepted Yuan Shu's history of the Yuzhou Assassination and replaced Sun Jian in his conquest. Sun Jian's descendants, Sun Xiang, also "drove for Yuan Shu".

(Yuan) Shu Table (Sun) Ben led the Yuzhou Assassin History, transferred to Danyang Du Wei, marched to the general of the Conquest, and asked for Ping Shanyue. --The Book of Wu, The Biography of Sun Ben

(Sun) Xiang from (Sun) Jian conquest meritorious, Bai Lang Zhong. Later, yuan shu drove chi, jia zhengnan general, died in Shouchun. --Wei Yao, Book of Wu

Qixia and Greed: On Yuan Shu and his so-called "Qixia" Yuan Shu started the so-called "greedy" summary with "Qixia"

Yuan Shu used Sun Jian's remnants to capture Huainan

(2) Han Xian and Yang Feng

During the reign of Huainan (193-199), Yuan Shu recruited Han Xian and Yang Feng successively.

Han and Yang were displaced men from the Baibo Valley in Xihe County, he was known as the "White Wave Thief". The Bai Bo army was extremely strong in combat, and repeatedly blocked Dong Zhuo's crusades, and Cao Cao also lamented that "Yang Feng's soldiers were elite".

There are more than 100,000 white wave thieves. (Dong) Zhuo dispatched Zhonglang to attack the cattle and could not do so. --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Dong Zhuo

Taizu said, "This lonely Shiya." Yang Feng was close to Liang Er, smelling his soldiers, and he was lonely and tired? "--The Biography of Dong Zhao"

(3) Chen Lan and Lei Bo

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor, and he was greatly disappointed. Under the joint encirclement and suppression of Cao Cao, Sun Ce, Lü Bu, Chen Yu and other warlords (see "Jiang Biao Biography"), Yuan Shu "ran out of funds and could not stand on his own", and eventually ushered in the end.

At the end of the road, Yuan Shu once wanted to go to chen lan and Lei Bo. At that time, the two had already fallen into the grass of Tianzhu Mountain.

(Yuan) was broken by Lü Bu before the operation, and later defeated by Taizu, who ran his subordinates Lei Bo and Chen Lan to Haoshan. --The Book of Wei, The Biography of Yuan Shu

There is Tianzhu Mountain in the middle of the river, which is more than twenty miles high, the road is narrow, the steps are cut, and (Chen) Lan and other walls are on it. --The Biography of Wei Shu and Zhang Liao

Lei Bo yi as Lei Xu (see Liu Fu Biography), a long-term tyrannical locality, after the Battle of Chibi (208) attached to Liu Bei. According to this inference, perhaps the original identity of Chen and Lei was the local grass kou.

Lujiang Meiqian, Lei Xu, Chen Lan and others gathered tens of thousands of people in jiang and Huai, and the counties were broken. --The Book of Wei, The Biography of Liu Fu

(Liu Bei) Southern Expedition to the Four Counties... Lujiang Lei Xu led tens of thousands of mouths. --The Book of Shu

It is not difficult to see that Yuan Shu's friendship with heroes and noble strength, in the initial stage, did bring himself rich political rewards.

Unfortunately, in addition to the Sun Jian family, many of the "Qi Heroes" under Yuan Shu did not bring him the expected returns, so after Sun Ce's defection (195), Yuan Shu's territory gradually collapsed.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="228" > the so-called "greed"</h1>

Yuan Shu is greedy and tyrannical, and everyone knows it. There are many examples of this, and they cannot be exhausted; only some of them are listed for reference.

(1) The quality of the jackal

The Book of Wu and the Biography of Liu Xuan quote Yuan Hong's Han Ji and record Xu Shao's remarks, saying that "Yuan Highway is separated by a road, and his people are jackals."

If the officials were gathered, and the envoys were sent to contribute, they would be known to Cao Yanzhou (i.e., Cao Cao), although there was a Yuan Highway (Yuan Shuzi Highway) separated in between, and their people were jackals and could not last long. --Yuan Hong' Han Ji

Xu Shao, also known as Xu Zijian, is known as the "Zang No Character". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the talent evaluation activity "Yuedan Appraisal" was created by the Xu Shao brothers.

(Xu) Shao and congbrother (Xu) Jing have a high reputation, good co-nuclear theory of township party figures, every month to change their character topics, so Runan custom has "Moon Dan Commentary". --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Xu Shao

"Jackal" is a common calligraphy in historical records, referring to "greed".

The Wei Liu records that Cao Hong was imprisoned by Emperor Wen during the Early Huang Dynasty (220-226), and after pardon, he apologized for his sins, saying that he was "sexually uninspected and contented, but has the quality of a jackal."

(Cao Hong) Self-division will die, vested in the original, happy, on the letter xie yue: "The subject is less than the Tao, living in the humanities, long theft is not ren, so the loan is implied." Sex is not content, but there is the quality of the jackal. --Wei Liu

The "Book of Jin" luo shang biography records that Luo Shang was "sexually greedy and less broken", and the people of Shuzhong called it "greedy like a jackal, without reversal".

(Luo Shang) is greedy and less assertive, and the Shu people say: "What is still loved, what is not evil is yu; what is still hated, what is not loyal is righteous." Rich and mighty, home to the city; greedy as a jackal, there is no more. --The Book of Jin, The Biography of Luo Shang

It can be seen that the jackal, the greedy man, is also.

(2) Kou violent Nanyang

During yuan shu's reign in Nanyang (190-193), he did not cultivate moral government and concentrated on gathering, causing people's resentment to boil over and people and animals to drift.

The Book of later Han records that at the beginning of Yuan Shu's entry into Nanyang, there were still millions of hukou, and as a result, Yuan Shu "exclusively used plunder as a resource, and the people suffered from it."

In the beginning, (Yuan) Shu was in Nanyang, and there were still tens of millions of household registrations, but without practicing the Fa, he used plunder as a capital, and he was extravagant, and the people suffered. --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Yuan Shu

After Yuan Shu left Nanyang (193), the Guanzhong warlord Zhang Ji fled Jingzhou (195) due to famine and plundered Nanyang, but found nothing. Zhang Ji was helpless, forced to attack the city, and died in battle.

Zhang Ji was hungry, went out to Nanyang, attacked Rang, and was killed in battle. --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Dong Zhuo

After the Battle of Chibi (208), Pang Tong had no choice but to say: "Jingzhou has been desolate and is not a place to live for a long time. ”

(Pang) Tong said (Liu) Beiyue: "Jingzhou is desolate, the characters are exhausted, there are Wu Sun in the east, there is the Cao clan in the north, and it is difficult to achieve the ambition." "-"Spring and Autumn in Kyushu"

Qixia and Greed: On Yuan Shu and his so-called "Qixia" Yuan Shu started the so-called "greedy" summary with "Qixia"

Pang Tong: Jingzhou is desolate, and the characters are exhausted

South of the Yangtze River, the impact of the military disasters suffered at that time was relatively small, and it can be seen that Pang Tong's words mainly refer to nanyang in the north of the river. Xinye County, where Liu Bei was previously stationed, was subordinate to Nanyang (later assigned to Yiyang).

(Liu) table from the suburbs to welcome (Liu Bei), the above guests treated him, benefiting his soldiers, so that Tun Xinye. --The Book of Shu

The desolation of Nanyang did not ease until the early Wei and Huang dynasties (220-226).

In the third year of the Huang Dynasty (222), Cao Pi drove a car to the south and stopped at Wanxian (南阳郡郡治), only to find that "the city was not prosperous", so he executed Yang Jun, the Taishou of Nanyang.

In the third year of the Huang Dynasty, the car drove to Wan, (Cao Pi) was not rich in the city, and he was angry to receive (Yang) Jun. --The Biography of Wei Shu and Yang Jun

Although the root cause of Yang Jun's death was that he was attached to Cao Zhi (see "Yang Jun's Biography"), the problem of the desolation of Nanyang did allow Cao Pi to find an excuse.

Nanyang was once the largest county in the world (see The Later Han Dynasty Chronicle), but under yuan shu's plunder, it became a scorched earth on earth, and it was difficult to recover for decades. It can be seen that Yuan Shu is like a jackal, not a lie.

(3) Plotting to seize the jade seal

When Sun Jian counterattacked Luoyang, he once obtained the Imperial Jade Seal of Qin Han in the abandoned well of the imperial palace.

After Sun Jian's death (191), Yuxi was unsurprisingly stolen by Yuan Shu. In order to seize this treasure, Yuan Shu also kidnapped Sun Jian's wife, Lady Wu.

Yuan Shu took the title of tyrant, Wen (Sun) Jian to pass on the national seal, and detained Lady Sun Jian and seized it. --"The Chronicle of the Duke of Shanyang"

Yuan Shu himself was a "son of the Gong clan", and the Yuan clan of Runan, who had studied "Meng Shi Yi" for generations, was considered a family of scripture scholars. However, in order to claim the title of emperor, Yuan Shu was so distraught that he did not even care about the minimum decency.

(4) Grain is not transported

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Shu wanted to dominate Xuzhou, so he attacked Liu Bei, the so-called "Battle for Alliance Huaiyu" in the WuLu.

In order to win the war, Yuan Shu used 200,000 yuan of military food as bait to ask Lü Bu to send troops.

(Yuan Shuyi) "... The general has been attacking the war for many years, and the army's food is poor, so now he sends 200,000 yuan of rice..." (Lü) Bu Deshu was very happy, so he built Pi. --Heroes

But after Lü Bu succeeded, Yuan Shu refused to fulfill his promise. Lü Bu therefore made peace with Liu Bei and fought against Yuan Shu.

(Lü) Bu also (Yuan) did not return to transport grain, but had a chariot and horse to meet (Liu) bei, thinking that YuZhou was an assassin, and sent Tun Xiaopei. --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty

It can be seen from this that Yuan Shu is not only "the jackal is tireless", but also "the hammer and the baht will be compared", and the result is to move the stone and smash the foot, humiliating himself.

(5) Extravagance and lasciviousness

In the second year of Xingping (195), emperor Xian moved east, and Yuan Shu believed that the Number of Han Dynasty qi had been exhausted, so he planned intensively to claim the emperor's great cause.

In the winter of the second year of Xingping, Tianzi sowed Yue and was defeated by Cao Yang. (Yuan) Under the group of the Shu Assembly, because of the saying: "The sea is boiling in the present day, and the Liu clan is weak." The fourth prince of my family, the people, want to respond to the heavens and the people (referring to the usurpation of the emperor), how can it be with the kings? --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Yuan Shu

At that time, there were hundreds of Yuan Shu harems, all dressed in silk and satin, eating japonica rice and fatty meat; Huainan soldiers could only catch locusts and pick clams to fill their hunger; the people of Yangzhou and even "Yizi cannibalism".

(Yuan Shu) is very absurd, hundreds of harems, all dressed in Qi, the rest of the sorghum meat, and the soldiers are frozen, the Jianghuai space is empty, and the people cannibalize. --The Book of Wei, The Biography of Yuan Shu

Yuan Shu was in Shouchun, more than a million grain stones, and the city of money begged for money, and the city had no rice and abandoned the money. The people were hungry and cold, and they fed with mulberries and locusts. --"Taiping Imperial Records" quoted "Wu Zhi"

Qixia and Greed: On Yuan Shu and his so-called "Qixia" Yuan Shu started the so-called "greedy" summary with "Qixia"

Yuan Shu was absurd and extravagant, and the Jianghuai people ate each other

Yuan Shu completely ignored this and blindly indulged in eroticism; the harem women's relatives even fought hard to "become empresses".

Yuan Shu was called in Jiujiang, and the subordinates were all called subjects, and the famous door was built, and the clothes and quilts were all made of the Son of Heaven, and the two women were pre-contested as empresses. --"Let the County Self-Disclosure Book"

Feng Shi thought so, and after seeing (Yuan) Shu Shu was weeping, the technique was to have a heart, and it was beneficial to mourn. The women were hanged (Feng's) and hung from the toilet beam. --"Spring and Autumn in Kyushu"

The issue of "establishing an empress" had not yet been resolved, and Yuan Shu sent emissaries to Xuzhou to ask Lü Bu's daughter to be the "crown princess". The Spring and Autumn Dream has reached this point, and it can be regarded as a miracle.

(Yuan) Shu wanted to tie the knot (Lü) Bu as a aid, but for zi suo (Lü) Bu Nu, Bu Xuzhi. --The Book of Wei, The Biography of Yuan Shu

(6) Exclusive duplicate name

After Yuan Shu became emperor in the second year of Jian'an (197), he encountered many encirclements and suppressions, "the death of the general, the rebellion of the people, the drought and famine, and the freezing of soldiers and soldiers".

(Yuan) The soldiers were weak, the generals were dead, the people rebelled, the drought was added, the soldiers and the people froze, and the jiang and Huai couldnibalism were exhausted. --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Yuan Shu

Under desperate circumstances, Yuan Shu took out 100,000 yuan of military food and allocated it to Shu Zhongying, the minister of Peiguo, as military resources. As a result, Shu Zhong was not in good spirits and used military grain for relief to the people.

Yuan Shu was furious when he heard the news and led an army to attack peiguo. Under Shu Zhongying's generous statement, Yuan Shu actually changed his face, took the other party's hand, and said, "It is my wish to help the people, and you don't want to monopolize the good name alone." Hypocrisy is chilling.

(Yuan) shu dismounted from the horse, and led the way: "Zhongying, the sole desire to enjoy the world's heavy name, not to share the evil with me?" --The Book of the Later Han Dynasty, The Biography of Yuan Shu

It can be seen that Yuan Shu is not only greedy for money, but also greedy for fame. However, history is fair, and Many of Yuan Shu's bad deeds were eventually faithfully recorded to warn future generations.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="253" > summary</h1>

Chivalry and greed are the two major traits that run through Yuan Shu's life.

"Shang Qixia" is the reliance of Yuan Shu's origins.

It brought Yuan Shu a huge reputation and laid the theoretical foundation for his cooperation with Sun Jian. As a result, Yuan Shu occupied the rich Nanyang and Huainan successively in the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty, dominating one side.

"The Jackal Is Insatiable" is the root cause of Yuan Shu's demise.

In nanyang and Huainan, Yuan Shu not only did not have the strategy of enriching the people and strengthening the army, but instead "plundered as capital and lavishly", and was eventually abandoned by history.

From the root cause, Yuan Shu's extravagant behavior is inseparable from his origin. The children of noble relatives in ancient times, due to the limitations of class, often attached importance to face and paid attention to pomp.

Just like the Rongning Second House in "Dream of the Red Chamber", although the family road is decaying, it still has to maintain a blossoming flower on the surface. In Wang Xifeng's words, it means that "although there are difficult places to go", on the surface, it must also be "fiercely bombarded".

Although it is fierce and vigorous outside, I don't know that there are great difficulties and places to go, and I may not believe it with people. --"Dream of the Red Chamber The Sixth Time"

Yuan Shu could not escape this law. He was rich in clothes, extravagant, and even served with honey milk, and was extremely extravagant.

Yuan Highway is eighteen years old, often eating milk and eating honey rice. --"Recorded Biography"

(Yuan Shu) asked the kitchen, there are still thirty wheat shavings. When it's hot, I want honey. --Wei Yao, Book of Wu

The excessive pursuit of appetite by rulers has always been regarded as a symbol of "no way". It is no wonder that historians of all generations have great contempt for Yuan Shu.

Inside it is a color famine and an outer bird famine. Sweet wine and voracious sound, Junyu carved wall. There is one here, not yet or not dead. --Shang Shu Song of the Five Sons

Pei Songzhi even said that even if Yuan Shu was "used sparingly and frugally", it would be difficult to escape the fate of death.

Yuan Shu has no heroic merits, the goodness of the delicate mustard, and the rampant in the time, arrogant and self-respecting, gu yifu's stranglehold, the same disease of people and ghosts. Though it is used sparingly and frugally, it will perish without time. --Pei Songzhi

It can be seen that the gifts given by fate have their own price in the dark; assets obtained by luck will eventually be lost by strength.
