Chun Yuqiong is a famous general with reputation, ability and qualifications. In the last years of Emperor Ling's reign, he ordered eight captains to take charge of the imperial army, led by Jian Shuo, one of the ten permanent servants. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were both one of the eight captains. Cao Cao was the captain of the Dian Army, Yuan Shao was the captain of the Central Military Academy, and Chunyu Qiong was also one of the eight captains. Among Yuan Shao's troops, he was the leading general, and there was no such thing as being greedy for trouble. On the eve of Guandu , Yuan Shao ordered him and Guo Tu Yan Liang to attack Baima. Yan Liang was greedy for power and rushed forward, and he was careless and underestimated the enemy. He was stabbed to death by Zhang Liao Guan Yu in the army. Thanks to Chunyu Qiong, Yuan's army was prevented from being defeated, and Yuan Shao was able to maintain his overwhelming momentum against Cao's army, pursuing all the way to Yanjin . The failure of Wuchao was not because of his drinking, but because of his carelessness.
At that time, Chunyu Qiong had 10,000 men. Although Cao Cao led 5,000 troops, in order to avoid Yuan's army's interrogation along the way, they all dispersed into small groups and disguised themselves as Yuan's army. They arrived at the Wuchao frontier before refitting and attacking. At first glance, Chunyu Qiong thought that Cao Cao didn't have many troops, so he went out to fight. Unexpectedly, the number of Cao Cao's troops increased, so he realized that something was wrong. He returned to the stronghold to protect himself and asked Yuan Shao for help. On the one hand, Yuan Shao was headstrong, and on the other hand, out of his trust in Chunyu Qiong, he only sent a few people to rescue Wuchao, and instead ordered Zhang He Gao Lan to attack Cao Ying. As a result, Wuchao finally fell, Cao Cao's camp was not captured, and Zhang He and Gao Lan even surrendered to Cao Cao.
According to the records of "Three Kingdoms·Yuan Shao Biography", Chunyu Qiong was not dead, and he and Yuan Tan escaped across the river alone; and according to the records of "Three Kingdoms·Wei Zhi·Wudi Ji", Chunyu Qiong was in this battle. Death in battle. This is the weakness of biographical history books. They split a historical fact into several pieces and often contradict themselves. It's a pity, it's a shame. Therefore, although Chunyu Qiong did not guard Wuchao, he was not a drunkard. After all, his opponent Cao Cao was the number one man in the Three Kingdoms, so there was nothing to say about losing to him.
