The era of the first and second Yuan fighting for the front

The early days of the Three Kingdoms were actually a pattern of two heroes standing together. Let’s talk about it more clearly, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu , the battle between the half-brothers of the same father and mother.

Yuan Shu is the legitimate son of the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third generation, and he completely suppresses the illegitimate son's Yuan Shao . However, Yuan Shao's fate was good and he was later adopted by his uncle's house. Therefore, Yuan Shao thus had the status of a legitimate son. But unfortunately, Yuan Shu still looked down on Yuan Shao in all kinds of ways.

This is actually very similar to the view of Russia in Europe. It is always believed that Russia has been ruled by the Golden Horde for more than two hundred years and is no longer a family member. Even if the Grand Duke of Moscow Ivan III , he would not marry Sofia, the last princess of Eastern Rome.

Therefore, in the early days of the Three Kingdoms, two alliances were formed around the "Two Yuans". Cao Cao is undoubtedly Yuan Shao's younger brother. Since Liu Bei is a classmate of Gongsun Zan , he stands on Gongsun Zan's side without hesitation, while Gongsun Zan is an alliance with Yuan Shu.

It must be mentioned that Tao Qian , and he is also from Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan. This is why Cao Cao had to destroy Tao Qian by taking advantage of the revenge of killing his father. It was also a factor that Tao Qian finally chose Liu Bei as the governor of Xuzhou.

During this period, Yuan Shao disliked the world's general ruler at that time, and believed that he was supported by Dong Zhuo's , which made the Han Dynasty distort. So I always wanted to kick down Emperor Xian of Han and support Youzhou Governor Liu Yu . For this reason, , Xu You, , had planned to directly assassinate the Emperor Xian of Han during his northern tour.

Naturally, Yuan Shu would oppose whatever he supported, even if he didn't like Emperor Xian of Han. At this moment, I have to mention Cao Cao. He was so smart that he could see the value of Emperor Xian of Han at a glance. Therefore, he opposed Xu You's assassination and believed that Emperor Xian of Han must support him. As for the role of support, everyone later learned that it was: using the emperor to command the princes.

As for the strength of "Two Yuans". Yuan Shu obviously had an overwhelming advantage. Yuan Shao was once thrust into a grief, and even Gongsun Zan around him dared to squeeze his face.

In 191 AD, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao had a dispute over Yuzhou . So Gongsun Zan sent his cousin Gongsun Yue to support Yuan Shu with a thousand cavalry, but Gongsun Yue was shot and killed by a trampled arrow. This time, Gongsun Zan found an excuse and took his anger on Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had to give benefits, and finally ceded Bohai County and gave it to Gongsun Zan. It was this incident that opened the curtain for Yuan Shao to destroy Gongsun Zan.

After all, Yuan Shu can't afford to offend Yuan Shao, and the forces of both sides have not yet reached the border. But you, Gongsun Zan, are by my side of Yuan Shao.

This is the general appearance of the early Three Kingdoms. If placed in the world today, does it feel familiar but also sceptical? In fact, history always gives people this feeling - let’s continue talking about Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.

2. The battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan

owns Gongsun Zan of Bohai County, although he suddenly has a channel to enter the Central Plains. But the problem is that at that time, various forces were converging, especially the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army, which were very powerful in the boundaries of Qingzhou .

Therefore, Gongsun Zan had to continue to fight with the Yellow Turban Army. At the same time, what's even more tragic is that he has to continue to squeeze Yuan Shao. As a result, the battle between the two sides broke out! Gongsun Zan was defeated by Yuan Shao, and the famous White Horse Yi Cong was almost wiped out! As a result, Gongsun Zan lost the opportunity to continue to squeeze Yuan Shao.

At the same time, Yuan Shao, who had recovered from his breath, took advantage of the situation to launch an attack on Qingzhou, directly targeting Tian Kai and Liu Bei. " Book of Later Han " records: Shao sent tens of thousands of troops to fight with Kai for two years, and the food was exhausted, the soldiers were exhausted, and the people were plundered, and there was no green grass in the wild...

This incident also indirectly caused the two brothers to rescue Xuzhou, and finally Liu Bei took Xuzhou away.During this period, Yuan Shao's forces also arranged Tian Kai in the north and attacked Kong Rong in the east. In the end, Yaobing Haiyan finally controlled Qingzhou.

And Cao Cao in Yuan Shao's camp was at this moment when he got the Qingzhou soldiers, one of his founding capitals.

Seeing this, people probably wonder, what did Gongsun Zan do? Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu, who was supported by Yuan Shao and deeply loved by the Hu Han people in Youzhou, causing a fire to catch a backyard. Failed to the north of Luhe River. At the same time, Yuan Shao's general Qu Yi defeated Gongsun Zan and beheaded 20,000 yuan.

At this moment, Gongsun Zan's territory showed a collapse. Dijun , Guangyang, Shanggu , etc. all turned against each other, killing the officials appointed by Gongsun Zan, and turning to Yuan Shao in full. "Zan's army was defeated several times, so he left and returned to Yijing to defend ". As a result, Gongsun Zan had no choice but to be beaten until he finally died.

In other words, in fact, the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan began in 191 AD to the end of Gongsun Zan's death in 199 AD, which lasted for eight or nine years.

For such a long time, why did the princes of the Three Kingdoms not only gallop to rescue Gongsun Zan, but even if they were ally Yuan Shu, no one would mediate? This requires analysis from three aspects.

3. Why can no one mediate?

One: Yuan Shu needs Gongsun Zan to constantly consume Yuan Shao.

When was Yuan Shu the coolest during the Three Kingdoms period? It was during the years when Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao fought all the trouble. For example, he became emperor in 197 AD.

So, for Yuan Shu, he never wanted Gongsun Zan to kill Yuan Shao, and he did not want Yuan Shao to destroy Gongsun Zan. The best state is that both sides spend a long time, and they take the opportunity to make a profit. For this reason, Yuan Shu never hesitated to turn against Liu Bei and wanted to take Xuzhou away. Is this activity equivalent to Yuan Shu taking Gongsun Zan as a gun envoy, but he is "sucking Gongsun Zan's blood" while "sucking Gongsun Zan's blood"? It must be! But what can Gongsun Zan do? He has been tied up on the pirate ship and can only do nothing!

Therefore, "Yuan Shu" not only does not mediate, but also has to give all kinds of support, but don't think about this matter in person, unless you pick peaches.

Second: In essence, it belongs to the conflict between the two Yuans, and others do not have the strength and confidence to mediate!

It can be clearly seen from the above introduction that the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan was an outbreak of conflict between the two Yuans, but one hid behind and the other had to stand it.

At that time, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were the most powerful and had the most powerful force. Who dared to mediate? If you don’t mediate well, you will be self-destructive. If you don’t believe it, look at Liu Bei!

Liu Bei dared to write a letter to Cao Cao to mediate the conflict between Cao Cao and Tao Qian in Xuzhou because Cao Cao, Tao Qian and Liu Bei were all small characters at that time. Otherwise, everyone thought that Liu Bei was so capable, so why didn’t he write to Yuan Shao and say: Stop playing, isn’t it nice to eat hot pot and sing songs together? This is the reason, you don’t have that strength and are not qualified!

Third: The third party’s sense of crisis is caused.

How did Cao Cao rise in the Three Kingdoms? Just when Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan were in a mess, he used the emperor to order the princes to expand his strength while madly expanding his strength. Cao Cao understood more than anyone else that once the two sides decide the winner, then his Yanzhou is the next battlefield and he is the next goal!

Therefore, when it comes to Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, the more fierce the fight is, the more intense it is, the longer the time is, the more beneficial it is to him. The so-called growing in the cracks! As for the final result, the same is true.

Less than two years after killing Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao immediately started the battle of Guandu (200 AD). Even at this moment, Cao Cao, holding Emperor Xian of Han, and taking advantage of the fact that Yuan Shu was called emperor, and destroyed Yuan Shu when his relatives were betrayal, wouldn’t he win a thrilling victory? Almost most of the time, he was crushed by Yuan Shao.

For third parties, if they do not mediate or trespass the muddy water, they all have the result - the so-called life and death are related, who dares to mediate!没趁机加把柴，都属于难能可贵了！ Therefore, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been going on for so long, why can no one mediate? After understanding Yuan Shao’s destruction of Gongsun Zan, he naturally understood...
