How did Yuan Shang bury Yuan Shao's hegemony? Why was he killed by Gongsun Kang?

　　At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the masses competed for hegemony, and after several annexations, the strongest prince in the world was Yuan Shao. Although indecisive, he dominated Hebei, sitting on Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Hezhou, and later defeated Gongsun Zhan to occupy Youzhou; There are millions of men with armor, and the fierce generals are like clouds. He was also the most promising person to unify China and complete the hegemony, but all this was shattered, and Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao's army of 100,000 with only more than 20,000 people, after which Yuan Shao had been immersed in the depression of military defeat and soon died of depression.

　　After that, infighting began within the Yuan clique, and these internal disturbances all originated from Yuan Shao's arrangements for the sons during his lifetime. In ancient times, the inheritance system of the princes' families was the inheritance system of the concubines. However, after Yuan Shao's death, he was established by his youngest son Yuan Shang. Yuan Shang recorded in the history books that he was beautiful and multi-powerful, and was quite loved by Yuan Shao. In the fifth year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao once refused a surprise attack from the south in order to take care of him, and annihilated Cao Cao in one fell swoop. The eldest son, Yuan Tan, could not succeed to the throne, so he appointed himself a general and marched into Liyang.

　　In 202, Cao Cao attacked Yuan Tan, and Yuan Tan asked Yuan Shang for help, but Yuan Shang was afraid that Yuan Tan would not return the soldiers after he got them, so he stayed in the trial and stayed behind, and led the soldiers to rescue himself. At this time, Cao Cao followed Guo Jia's plan and withdrew his army first to wait for the two Yuan brothers to kill each other. Later, at the instigation of Guo Tu and Xin Ping, Yuan Tan attacked Yuan Shang, but was defeated and retreated to Nanpi, and Cao Cao began to send a large army to attack Yuan Shang at the suggestion of Xin Bi, and Yuan Shang immediately returned to Yi. Later, Lü Xiang and Lü Kuang rebelled and returned to Cao Cao.

　　In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), Yuan Shang was encouraged to attack his brother Yuan Tan in Qingzhou, but the result was that Yuan Shang did not capture Qingzhou, and the base camp of Jizhou had already been given to Cao Cao. Subsequently, the trial was beheaded, and Yuan Shang ordered Gao Gan to ask for help, but was refused, and the lead surrendered to Cao Cao. Yuan Shang defected to Yuan Xi. In the tenth year of Jian'an (205), due to the rebellion of Jiao Touch and Zhang Nan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang could only flee to Wuhuan. In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), under the persecution of Cao Cao, Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi defected to Gongsun Kang in Liaodong with thousands of soldiers.

　　After fleeing to Liaodong, Yuan Shang wanted to replace Gongsun Kang and occupy Liaodong, but at this time Gongsun Kang already had other plans to capture Yuan Shang to ask for credit, so he arranged strong and brave soldiers in the horse shed in advance, and then came out to invite Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. After the two brothers entered the door, Gongsun Kang had the ambush soldiers capture them, and then cut off the heads of the two and gave them to Cao Cao, and the north was unified.
