Three Kingdoms: How Yuan Shao lost to Cao Cao's "strong and strong, the country is not prosperous" [Analysis] I. Material Background II. Yuan Shang's Great Defeat

【Material】 Zizhi Tongjian Han Ji Xiaoxian Emperor Jian'an 9th year 204 AD

He also set Cui Yan into another driver, and said: "Yesterday's household registration can get 300,000 people, so it is a big state."

Yan said: "Now Kyushu is rifted, the two Yuan brothers are looking for Gange, Ji Fang is steaming, the bones are in the wilderness, they have not heard of Wang Shi's customs, and they have saved him, and the school is a soldier, only this is the first, and the si yi zhou soldiers and daughters look forward to Ming Gongya!" ”

the change and thank you.

Cao Cao also hired Cui Yan as a driver and said to him: "Yesterday I checked the household registration of Jizhou and found that I could recruit 300,000 soldiers, and the first state in the world really lived up to its name." ”

Cui Yan replied: "For example, if today is falling apart, the Yuan family brothers are killing each other, the people of Jizhou are trapped in the water, and the dead bodies are all over the wilderness and no one is buried."

Now that the imperial court army is stationed in Jizhou, it has not heard of the action of comforting the people and saving the people, but first counts the number of armored soldiers, only to put this in the first place, how can this meet the expectations of the people of our prefecture for you! ”

Cao Cao heard the change of color and apologized to Cui Yan.

This material is about the scene after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shang, and in May, Cao Cao cleaned up the surrounding strongholds, cut off the support of the Shangdang and Handan directions, and then dug a trench to encircle and interrogate the city of Yicheng.

In July, Yuan Shang returned from Qingzhou to aid and interrogate the company, sent people into the city to communicate the battle plan, and agreed to raise a fire at the same time on a certain night, and attack Cao Cao at the same time inside and outside the city.

Cao Cao was attacked by the enemy on his back, so he relied on geographical advantages and superiority in strength to resist the enemy on both sides, first defeated the trial, and then defeated Yuan Shang, who was surrounded by Cao Cao in defeat, broke through, and was surrounded again, and his subordinate generals surrendered.

Yuan Shang fled to Zhongshan in defeat and prepared to go to Youzhou to find Yuan Xi, and Cao Cao collected all his weight and showed it to the city with the captured Yuan Shangyin silk and other relics.

The city knew that the reinforcements were cut off, and the great depression, the internal change, the nephew of the trial rong opened the city gate at night to welcome Cao Cao, Cao Cao entered the city, killed the trial match, sacrificed Yuan Shao's tomb, wept bitterly, comforted Yuan Shao's wife Liu Shi, returned the gold and silver treasures of the Yuan family, and gave Aya Luo silk and satin to pay living expenses.

Yes, it was the Liu clan who had established Yuan Shang before, if there was no assist from her, there would be no Yuan family brothers fighting for the position, and Cao Cao really couldn't attack Hebei so quickly without her assist.

Subsequently, Cao Cao returned to his master's promise, offered victory to tianzi, and presented the emperor's edict, with Cao Cao as the pastor of Jizhou, and Cao Cao returned the Yanzhou Muyin silk to show his modesty and non-authority.

In fact, this is just a situation, Cao Cao should not be Yanzhou Pastor, and it does not affect his authority in Yanzhou, as long as all the key positions in Yanzhou are his people.

Cao Cao Meizi went to Yicheng to take up his post, so he took out the Jizhou Fish Scale Book to see, and found that Jizhou could recruit 300,000 troops, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and sighed at the newly appointed Jizhou bei driver Cui Yan, which had the scene in the material.

When I saw this material, not only Cao Cao sighed, I was also very emotional, Cao Cao sighed that Jizhou could even recruit 300,000 troops, and He was worried that he could not calm the world;

What I sighed was that Jizhou could even recruit 300,000 troops, Yuan Benchu's father and son, miserable and miserable relatives, what a tragic word. Tragic, too tragic, I actually have some sympathy for Yuan Benchu's father and son, like Chongzhen.

After the fall of Yicheng, the defeat of Yuan Shang, and the capture of Hebei by Cao Cao, Jizhou was able to recruit 300,000 armored soldiers. I'll just post the original text:

In autumn and July, shang generals returned to the rescue of more than 10,000 soldiers; cao said: "If you still come from the avenue, you should avoid it; if you follow the western mountain, this will become a bird's ear." ”

On the eve of Yuan Shang's defeat, but only led 10,000 troops to rescue Yicheng, Cao Cao said that if Yuan Shang came from the main road, he would not fight with him, and if he came from the Western Mountain Trail, he would kill him.

Cao Cao What does this mean?

In fact, it is to see how many soldiers Yuan Shang brings, after all, Jizhou's strong strength is unpredictable, and how many people are willing to invest in Yuan Shangcao has no bottom.

If there are many people who support Yuan Shang and many people who Yuan Shang brings, they will inevitably take the big road, so Cao Cao said that he should let him; on the contrary, if Yuan Shang takes the small road, it means that he is weak-minded, because there are few soldiers, so he must fight unceremoniously.

Sure enough, Yuan Shang took a small road to sneak to support Yicheng, and as a result, Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shang was not confident enough, so he faced the enemy on both sides and won on both sides.

This Yuan Shang was really pitiful, like a dog, knowing that there were 300,000 armored soldiers on his territory that could be recruited, but he could not be recruited, and at the moment of life and death, he could only bring more than 10,000 people from Qingzhou to support the trial.

What does this mean?

Yuan Shang has no power, so that he can't move these Jizhou haoqiang, Yuan Shang lacks grassroots control, as if he saw that there was money in the bank card but couldn't take it out, he could only take more than ten thousand capital and hurriedly sat at the same card table with Cao Cao, and as a result, a stud was lost...

Yuan Shao won the hearts and minds of the people with his leniency, what was the result, Cao Cao besieged Yecheng for more than half a year, and since Jizhou had the potential for war with 300,000 soldiers, there was no one to serve the king, no one to save Yicheng, you say, which door of the Yuan family's people's hearts?

So I said that the thing of Haoqiang is to be attacked normally, and once this thing is made bigger, it will eat the lord, such as the Yuan family, that is, it will be miserable by Haoqiang.

Yuan Shang, the new owner of the Yuan family, brought more than 10,000 people to support the embarrassing scene of Yecheng, saying that the good point is called support, saying that the ugly point is the Bo miracle, and to put it bluntly, it is to send it.

If the Yuan family's political power is in the hands of a civilian Jizhou, directly ruled by the government to the individual, why can't it have the strength to make it? Why was Yecheng defeated?

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the forces of a single strong man in Jizhou were a little smaller, a little stronger, a little more fragmented, and a little more of the monarch's right to speak, it would not be obvious that there were 300,000 armored soldiers, but he could only take 10,000 soldiers to rescue Yecheng.

So I said, if you don't strike at Haoqiang, the country can't be strong, don't believe please see Yuan Shang, Mingming Jizhou has 300,000 troops, he just can't bring it up.

This is just the sequelae of Jizhou Haoqiang's excessive interception of the population, the degree of dependence of the population on the clan haoqiang is far greater than that of the government, and the patriarchy is greater than the national law.

This is also the reason why Cao Cao's words have changed color, what is Cui Yan's origin? It was the five surnames Qiwang who were disliked by Emperor Gaozong of Tang in later generations, and when he heard Qinghe Cui Yan speak so hard, Cao Cao's killing heart had already arisen, because he did not want to be the second Yuan Shang.

However, after experiencing the Yanzhou rebellion, Cao Cao also became more and more mature, politics is compromise, and the current situation, it is not feasible to completely cooperate with Haoqiang.

Therefore, he could only pinch his nose and change his face to Xie Zhi, on the one hand, he married Cui Yan and used Cui Yan's influence in Hebei to better control Hebei.

On the other hand, Cao Cao's killing heart for Cui Yan has been buried in his heart, which is the main reason why Cui Yan did not have a good end, and he was killed after using it.
