<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Gongsun Yuan likes to change the court, and swings left and right, once towards Wu Twilight Wei</h1>
Gongsun Yuan was a warlord of the Three Kingdoms period, a native of Xiangping County, Liaodong County, and in 228 AD, Cao Cao's grandson, Emperor Ming of Wei, made Gongsun Yuan the Taishou of Liaodong.
However, Gongsun Yuan was a restless lord, and he liked to change the court: first secretly formed an alliance with Sun Quan, and Sun Quan also believed in Gongsun Yuan's loyalty, so he sent Zhang Mi and Xu Yan to comfort Gongsun Yuan with a large number of gold and jade treasures, and appointed Gongsun Yuan as the King of Yan.
However, before Sun Quan's emissaries arrived, Gongsun Yuan began to retreat, thinking: Liaodong is too far away from The capital of Eastern Wu, Jianye (present-day Nanjing), and once Sima Yi of Cao Wei comes to fight, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu will be unable to quench his thirst and will definitely not be able to save Liaodong;
However, The condolences of Eastern Wu were really tempting, and Gongsun Yuan decided to get the condolences first!
In 233, Sun Quan made Gongsun Yuan the King of Yan and sent 10,000 people to Liaodong with treasures. After Gongsun Yuan received the benefits, he beheaded the Eastern Wu emissaries and captured more than 10,000 Eastern Wu generals, and Gongsun Yuan's actions made Emperor Wei Ming very pleased, worshipping him as the Grand Sima and sealing him the Duke of Lelang.
However, Gongsun Yuan flattered left and right, and Wu Wei ate it, and such a character was doomed not to be loyal to Wei for a long time.
In 237, Gongsun Yuan established himself as the King of Yan and openly rebelled against the State of Wei, and the following year, Emperor Ming of Wei sent sima Yi to lead an army of 40,000 to Liaodong and attack Gongsun Yuan.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="28" > Gongsun Yuan rebelled, and Emperor Wei Ming killed chickens with a cattle knife and moved out Sima Yi to quell the rebellion</h1>
Sima Yi (司馬懿), courtesy name Zhongda, was an outstanding statesman and military figure of the State of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, who served as the governor of Cao Wei, the Tai Wei (太尉), and the Taifu (太傅), and was the assistant minister of the Three Dynasties of the State of Wei, and later became a powerful minister with full control over Cao Wei. The most remarkable feat of his life was the successful confrontation with Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition on many occasions.
In 238, Gongsun Yuan colluded with the northern Yan nobles and rebelled against the State of Wei. Emperor Wei Ming and Sima Yi said, "It is reasonable to say that this matter is not worth your conquest, but I want to go out and win, so I am bothering you to go on the expedition!" ”
Emperor Wei Ming killed chickens with a cattle knife, indicating that he knew that Gongsun Yuan was not a good eastern.
The following year, Sima Yi led a large army of 40,000 infantry and cavalry, including Jinniu and Hu Zun, to the north, targeting Sun Yuan's location at Xiangping (襄平, in present-day Liaoyang, Liaoning Province), implementing a strategy of encircling but not fighting.
Sima Yi said to the general: "Do not attack the enemy, but only besiege, as if we are short of troops." ”
Gongsun Yuan
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="29" > why Sima Yi surrounded and did not fight, he was afraid of not being able to attack, he was afraid of him escaping! </h1>
Several months passed, and Sima Yi's general Chen Si felt puzzled: Meng Da, who had previously attacked Shangyong (in present-day southwest of Zhushan County, Hubei), sima Yi's Eight-Way Army had set out at the same time, day and night; this time, when they came from afar, they were so leisurely and relaxed that they were not in a hurry to attack at all.
Sima Yi did not come to recruit rebels, but rather came to vacation, so Chen Si asked Sima Yi for advice.
Sima Yi explained: "At this time and another time, at that time, Meng Da had few soldiers, but grain and grass could support a year; although our soldiers and horses were 4 times more than Meng Da, the grain and grass could not even support a month, and we could only fight a quick battle!
Today, the enemy is outnumbered, the enemy's grain is almost exhausted, our encirclement has not yet formed, if we rush to attack, is it not to drive them away? We are not afraid that we will not be able to conquer, we are afraid that they will escape! The reason why I show weakness is to let them stay at ease, and the more they hold on, the more unfavorable the situation is for them! ”
After some days, Gongsun Yuan was "wrapped in dumplings" by Sima Yi: Gongsun Yuan's grain and grass were gradually exhausted and he fell into trouble, and a few days later, Xiangping was attacked by Sima Yi.
At the end of the war, Gongsun Yuan sent Xiang Guo and the imperial envoy to Sima Yi to ask for peace, but Sima Yi sternly refused, saying, After Zheng Guo was defeated by the Chu State, Zheng Bo led the sheep to greet Chu Jun, I am a heavy minister of the imperial court, and I am a knight, is this a gesture of peace?
In the end, Gongsun Yuan was beaten by Sima Yi, and Gongsun He was killed by the Liangshui River.
Sima Yi issued an order: "In the past, only the leaders were killed, and generally those who worked for Gongsun He loved to be lenient. ”
Since then, all the area around Liaodong has been pacified.
