"Zang Hong's deeds, do you know?" Zhang Xiu suddenly came out with such a sentence.

All the civil and military officers sitting around the fire suddenly turned solemn.

Zang Hong, a name admired by the world.

The original Zang Hong was a subordinate of Zhang Chao, the former Guangling Taishou. Zang Hong's first appearance was because he persuaded the two brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao to fight against Dong Zhuo!

In terms of time, Zang Hong was the earliest initiator of the Sour Jujube Alliance, the so-called Eighteen Princes Alliance of the Dong Hui League, even earlier than Cao Cao raised the flag.

After that, Zang Hong presided over the oath of setting up an altar for the Sour Jujube Alliance, and his reputation reached that of the princes. In addition, this person is quite capable and is respected by the Thorn History County Guards in Yuzhou, Yanzhou and other places.

I remember that as Yanzhou Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao asked his younger brother Zhang Chao: I heard that you don't care about anything in Guangling, and the administrative, educational, reward, and punishment are all handed over to your subordinate Zang Hong to manage, what kind of person is this Zang Hong?

Zhang Chao's answer was very direct and frank: Zang Hong, a strange man in the sea, is more than a step better than me in terms of talent and wisdom!

Zhang Chao's evaluation of Zang Hong is not a little blown. In fact, after the disbandment of the Kwantung Coalition Army, Zang Hong was sent by Zhang Chao to Youzhou to connect with Liu Yu. It's just that because of the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan in Hebei, the roads are different. Zang Hong had no choice but to accept the leadership of Yuan Shao, who was friendly with Zhang Chao and Zhang Miao, and governed Qingzhou for Yuan Shao.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, although the main force and leaders of the Yellow Turban Army represented by Zhang Jiao, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao disappeared into history, the Yellow Turban Army still insisted on fighting in many areas, among which Qingzhou was the most severe!

There are too many deeds about the Yellow Turban in Qingzhou in history, such as Guan Hai's siege of Beihai, and Tai Shici's use of Liu Guan to relieve the siege of Kongrong in Beihai; Cao Cao broke the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and incorporated Jingzhuang as the Qingzhou soldiers; Gongsun Zhan defeated the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and his army rose sharply, and he forcibly suppressed Yuan Shao in Hebei!

And Zang Hong is to govern Qingzhou, which has been trampled by the Yellow Turban Army, and is really full of wolves. After Zang Hong's governance, Qingzhou has a new atmosphere and new appearance, so "a group of thieves run"!

However, at the critical moment when Qingzhou was in ruins, Yuan Shao transferred Zang Hong, who was not a descendant, out of Qingzhou and let Zang Hong serve as the Taishou of Yanzhou East County.

You must know that Zang Hong previously held the position of Qingzhou Thorn History, and he managed the entire Qingzhou. But when Yuan Shao made a great contribution to Zang Hong for him to stabilize Qingzhou, he demoted Zang Hong to a county guard!

And it is actually Dongjun Taishou, you must know that Dongjun is in the boundary of Yanzhou, Yanzhou is in Cao Cao's sphere of influence, just because Zhang Miao and Lu Bu rebelled, Cao Cao lost most of Yanzhou. Yuan Shao was not polite at that time, and forced a small part of Yanzhou to surrender to him in the counties north of the Yellow River. And part of the county under the jurisdiction of Dongjun is in Hebei, Yuan Shao directly established a new county in Dongjun on the spot, and then let Zang Hong be the Taishou of this county that is actually only in charge of two or three counties. The contrast is so great that everyone in the world is shocked!

This is actually related to Yuan Shao's diplomatic strategy in the early stage, at that time in the Central Plains Yuan Shao was most familiar with and closely related to Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, who felt that his ability was stronger than Cao Cao, was naturally willing to pull this buddy to make a small hand, after all, there were "Luoyang where we wandered together in those years" years, didn't he? Therefore, after the dissolution of the Kwantung Coalition Army, the ties between Yuan Cao and Yuan Cao were quite close for a period of time.

Especially when Cao Cao's power declined because of the defeat of pursuing Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao firmly believed that Cao Cao's ability was limited, so Yuan Shao, who did not take Cao Cao as a potential opponent, was still supporting Cao Cao when Cao Cao was at his weakest.

As a result, Cao Cao became famous in the battle against the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, and although Yuan Shao realized that Cao Cao was a threat to his plans, he still regarded Cao Cao as an upstart. In the end, only one general was sent with three battalions of soldiers and horses to test Cao Cao.

Here it is necessary to mention Zhu Lingluzhao, who only appeared in the previous chapters. Lu Zhao is a typical general of the Cao army who joined the army because of Cao Cao's recruitment, but Zhu Ling was not born in an ordinary general with a foreign surname, nor was he from the Qingzhou Army or the Xiahou clan of the Cao family, but the general of Yuan Shao!

Yes, that's right, it was Zhu Ling who was sent by Yuan Shao to test Cao Cao's depth at that time. When Cao Cao decided to send troops to conquer Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Yuan Shao sent Zhu Ling, leading three battalions of military horses, and followed Cao Cao's army in the name of assisting Cao Cao to conquer Tao Qian.

The Eastern Han Dynasty military system was a battalion of 5,000 people, and Zhu Ling brought 15,000 men and horses, but Yuan Shao definitely wouldn't really invest any money on a small temptation. These fifteen thousand troops were all Yuan Shao's expeditions to various places and weak troops.

Of course, there is a saying that there are no weak soldiers under a strong general, and now this sentence can be said in reverse: there is no strong general on the head of a weak soldier.

Zhu Ling was indeed not a capable general, but he had the eyesight and could see that Cao Cao was much stronger than Yuan Shao's foolish and wise man, so when Cao Jun returned to his division because of the Yanzhou Rebellion, he decided to take this opportunity to turn to Cao Cao.

As the saying goes: it's easy to put the icing on the cake, but it's hard to send charcoal in the snow. In addition, at this time, Yuan Shao finally defected to Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao because Lu Bu escaped from his subordinates, and he decided to completely turn against Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao!

So an order was sent to Zhu Ling, and Yuan Shao asked Zhu Ling to be under the command of Cao Cao and counterattack Lü Bu.

Now Zhu Ling can justifiably change jobs.

Don't talk about Zhu Ling's coincidence, but let's talk about Zang Hong's experience.

It didn't take a year for Cao Cao to pacify Lu Bu, and in the end Lu Bu couldn't beat Cao Cao and fled to Xuzhou, but the brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, whose family was in Chenliu and whose roots were also in Chenliu, couldn't run away because of the family's great cause. Zhang's family is also a wealthy family in a state, this generation has produced two large county guards, and they are all known for their heroism, and there are many loyal supporters, so Zhang Miao asked his younger brother Zhang Chao to take all the families and the army loyal to Zhang's family to stick to Yongqiu, and he took a few cronies to find Yuan Shu, who had never dealt with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, to move the rescuers.

As a result, Zhang Chao was surrounded by Cao Cao in Yongqiu, but Zhang Miao was dying, but he did not expect that he would be killed by his cronies on the way a few days later, and his head was dedicated to Cao Cao.

After Zhang Miao's head was shown to the public in Yongqiu, Zhang Chao's subordinates were greatly hit, and they were bound to be defeated if they lost foreign aid, but the favor of more than ten generations of the Dongping Zhang family and the pride of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's brothers made most of the army still dare to serve their lives.

This is why Zhang Miao dared to rebel at the beginning.

At that time, Zhang Chao's subordinates all said that no one would come to save them, and Liu Bei of Xuzhou took over Xuzhou from Tao Qian, Yuan Shu's contact all the way was broken, and Yuan Shao was obviously wearing the same pants as Cao Cao, and as for the other small princes, they didn't have to consider that they dared to fight against Cao who defeated Lu Bu. Therefore, no matter how far or near, Zhang Chao's subordinates all knew that they would die in this battle.

But Zhang Chao firmly said that his original subordinate Zang Hong must come to the rescue, and said to his subordinates: If Zang Ziyuan is not a loyal person, then there will be no loyal person in the world.

A month later, Zang Hong did not come.

Zhang Chao's subordinates then asked Zhang Chao: Zang Hong is now Yuan Shao's subordinate, and Yuan Shao has always been suspicious of Zang Hong because of you, the lord, and dare not reuse it. Now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are on good terms, Zang Hong will definitely not give up his future and come to save us.

Zhang Chao still firmly exonerated Zang Hong: Zang Hong is a true righteous man and will never turn his back on his principles. The reason why he didn't come to the rescue should be because he was restrained by Yuan Shao!

Until the moment when Yongqiu Chengpo, Zhang Chao and his family were all executed, Zang Hong still did not come.

But Zhang Chao still firmly believed in Zang Hong's character until the last moment.

Zhang Chao's subordinates are also very backbone, and they have been holding on to death in a hopeless state for more than three months, and the city was breached because of lack of food.

said Zang Hong, but he never crossed the Yellow River to rescue Zhang Chao. However, it is true that as Zhang Chao expected, Zang Hong has a last resort.

Upon learning that Zhang Chao was surrounded, Zang Hong immediately mobilized his army of only a few thousand men to rescue Zhang Chao. At the same time, he told Yuan Shaochen about the benefits and disadvantages, saying that once Cao Cao completely regained Yanzhou, it would inevitably be a scourge. As a result, Yuan Shao still insisted on his opinion, and took Lu Bu's overnight rebellion and gave Cao Cao an upstart evaluation based on the entire Yanzhou affair, thinking that Cao Cao's reputation was insufficient, and his prestige and status could not be compared with himself, so the result was that he controlled the territory of one and a half states at most, and he couldn't digest and absorb any more. And the Central Plains is just those states, and letting Cao Cao control one and a half states is conducive to the division of the Central Plains and the ultimate plan of his old Yuan family!

As a result, Yuan Shao did not agree to Zang Hong's request to send troops at all, and imposed great restrictions on Zang Hong in terms of ships crossing the river, as well as grain, grass and military supplies. But he didn't make it clear that he wouldn't give rescue, but only said that he was researching and preparing soldiers, horses, food and grass, giving Zang Hong a glimmer of hope, and then achieving his goal of delaying Zang Hong.

The helpless Zang Hong dragged on for three months, and three months later came the news of Zhang Chaocheng's death, and Zang Hong finally saw the hypocrisy of Yuan Shao's so-called "magnanimity" and "abundance", and also clearly realized Yuan Shao's true thoughts, so he announced that he would sever his relationship with Yuan Shao!

In this case, Yuan Shao no longer concealed from Zang Hong that he was lenient and benevolent, and directly led his troops to surround Zang Hong's county rule Dongwuyang City.

Yuan Shao ordered the lord Bo Chen Lin to persuade Zang Hong to surrender with a letter, and Zang Hong also replied to Yuan Shao with a thousand-word essay that was no less than Chen Lin's writing, expressing his determination.

Yuan Shao, who took patience as his advantage, surrounded a county town with tens of thousands of horses and horses for a year, trying to achieve the "army that surrenders without a fight" as stated in the military book. Helplessly, Zang Hong's martial arts were not bad, and the martial arts were able to repel Yuan Shao's siege and sneak attack, and he also educated the soldiers and civilians in the city to distinguish what true loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety were.

After running out of food, Zang Hong thought that his death was not far away, so he called his subordinates to them and said: "Yuan Shao's ambition is very big, and he plots against the Han family, I died for the righteousness, and death is worth it, you don't need to die with me, you can escape with your family before the city is broken." ”

But the people of the city were full of tears, and said, "We will die together!" ”

At first, there were rats and the leather on the weapons to eat, but then everything was eaten, and in the end only three liters of rice remained, and Zang Hong had people cook it into gruel for everyone to drink. In the end, he killed his beloved concubine and gave it to the soldiers to satisfy their hunger. The soldiers all cried bitterly, and they couldn't look up at Zang Hong. At this time, seven or eight thousand men and women in the city died together on each other's laps, but not a single one defected.

In the end, Dongwu Yangcheng was still broken by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao used a lot of curtains to decorate the scene, and the conference summoned Zang Hong in the future, and Yuan Shao asked him: "Zang Hong, why do you want to betray me so much?" Have you taken it now? ”

Zang Hong was so hungry that he couldn't stand up at that time, so he sat on the ground and stared at Yuan Shao and said, "Your Yuan family has been four generations and five dukes, and it can be described as a great grace of the country. Now that the royal family is weakened, you have no intention of auxiliary wings, but are full of your own ambitions, but it's a pity that my Zang Hong is not strong enough, and I can't kill you with my own hands to avenge the world, where can I be convinced? ”

Yuan Shao was annoyed and angry, and ordered Zang Hong to be killed.

……

Zang Hong has a fellow villager named Chen Rong in the same county, who served as the county commander of Dongjun under Zang Hong, and before Dongwuyang was captured, Zang Hong sent Chen Rong out of the city. When Zang Hong was in the court, Yuan Shao ordered Chen Rong to watch from the sidelines, seeing that Yuan Shao was going to kill Zang Hong, he came up to plead, Yuan Shao did not agree, and asked people to pull him out, Chen Rong shouted: "Today Ning and Zang Hong died on the same day, not the same day as the general." ”

Yuan Shao then ordered Chen Rong to be killed. Many people around Yuan Shao expressed regret for the deaths of Zang Hong and Chen Rong, believing that they were "killing two martyrs in one day".

Zang Hong also sent two Sima out of the city to ask Lü Bu for help before the city was broken, and by the time they returned, Dongwuyang had already fallen, and they both went to the enemy and died.

The last ten paragraphs above are from the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms - Wei Zhi - Zang**.

The above is the grievance deeds between Zang Hong, the first righteous man in the world, and Yuan Shao, the first family in the world and the princes.

This incident was an event from the end of 196 to the beginning of the following year in the first year of Jian'an, that is, when Zhang Xiu first came to the Three Kingdoms. Until now, it has only been a full year, and the reason why it is not known to the world is because of the truth of "the winner is the king and the loser is Kou", this matter was very tacitly kept silent by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, anyway, there were no survivors in the two sieges.

But as Lu Bu's people who participated in these incidents, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cao Xing and others knew the ins and outs of the whole thing. Especially Lu Bubajian, most of whom are actually from Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao's subordinates, are even more concerned about this matter.
