Speaking of Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, Gongsun Chan is a native of western Liaoning. During the Three Kingdoms period, wars and annexations were inevitable.

When Gongsun Chan was young, he once studied under Lu Zhi in Zhuo County. And Gongsun Chan is a classmate who went to school with Liu Bei.

After that, the public prosecution praised the long history of the Liaodong vassal state of Youzhou.

Gongsun Zhan was stationed in the frontier area of eastern Liaodong. And for many years he fought against ethnic minorities.

At that time, the frontier of the northeast was the world of the Wuhuan people.

Qiu Liju, the leader of the Wuhuan people. He once led the Wuhuan army to sweep Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, and four states. Gongsun Chan was weak at that time and was unable to effectively stop it.

At that time, Liu Yu served as the pastor of Youzhou. Liu Yu sent an envoy to the ethnic minorities to explain the stakes, and finally made Qiu Liju obedient.

In 190, Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an, and Yuan Shao and Han Fu wanted to support Liu Yu as emperor. Liu Yu did not agree. Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan held opposing views on the handling of relations with ethnic minorities. The relationship between the two is deteriorating day by day. In 193, Liu Yu led 100,000 troops. Attack Gongsun Zhan. After being defeated by Gongsun Chan. fled to Juyong Pass, was defeated again, and was captured. Gongsun Chan killed his old enemy Liu Yu. In the end, Gongsun Chan owned all of Youzhou. Growing arrogance.

Since then, Gongsun Zhan's atrocities have become more and more serious. Yuan Shao wanted to conquer Gongsun Zan from now on.

Gongsun Zhan really fought with Yuan Shao, and was defeated repeatedly. So, Gongsun Zhan fled to Yijing with his troops, and Yuan Shao began to attack Yijing at this time, which lasted for several years.

In 199, the helpless Gongsun Chan sent his son to ask for help from the Black Mountain thief Zhang Yan.

Yuan Shao intercepted the letter of Gongsun Zhan's son and agreed to use wolf smoke as a signal.

Gongsun Zhan mistakenly thought that reinforcements had arrived, and was deceived into sending troops, but was later defeated by Yuan Shao's ambush.

Later, Yuan Shao dug tunnels to attack Yijing. Gongsun Chan expected that he would lose this battle, so he committed suicide.

Subsequently, Yuan Shao captured Gongsun Zhan's city. gradually became the largest warlord in the north.

Recalling Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, one is a wolf and the other is a tiger. When tigers and wolves fight each other, there will be a victory. And it was in the northeast of China at that time. This time Yuan Shao's tiger won, and Gongsun Zhan's wolf lost.

The battle between tigers and wolves must have no good results, so the other princes can only wait and see what happens. Although Yuan Shao won, the people of the Northeast are still like that.

Although Gongsun Chan lost, he was in the Northeast for many years. And his deeds can still leave a reputation in Chinese history.

Speaking of Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was the son of Yuan Feng, the third company of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shao's cousin. It's just that Yuan Shu is a concubine. So Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are half-cousins.

From here, it can be seen that Yuan Shu is indeed from a proud family.

Yuan Shu's background is very good. Of course, the starting point of the career is higher than that of the average person.

During the period when Dong Zhuo was abolished. Yuan Shu was named a rear general by Dong Zhuo. General Hou is the main general, ranked as the secretary, and Yuan Shu has no military exploits before. This may have something to do with his illustrious family background.

Yuan Shu was relatively smart (in the early stage), and he saw Dong Zhuo acting perversely. I don't want to be with Dong Zhuo.

Instead, he abandoned his official position and fled to Nanyang, the old capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang. began the days of "extravagance and lust, excess".

Yuan Shu is actually also a person with great ambitions and talents. He will only bring disaster to the country and the people. There is little talent in governing the country. And he is quite an emperor.

When Yuan Shu was in Nanyang, he had the intention of becoming the emperor. Later, because of Yuan Shu and his cousin Yuan Shao, there was a conflict. was driven out of Nanyang by force by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Later, Yuan Shu, who lost his soul, fled to Jiujiang. This Jiujiang is not the current Jiujiang area of Jiangxi, but the current Huainan area of Anhui Province.

Soon after Yuan Shu arrived in Jiujiang, Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, fell ill and died. Later, Yuan Shu didn't make much effort. You got the entire Huainan area.

Yuan Shu may really want to be the emperor at this time, and he wants to go crazy.

In the second year of Han Jian'an (197), Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor in Shouyang. It also gave a country name. Because it may be that Yuan Shu became the emperor earlier. At that time, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was taken into the air, and the Eastern Han regime had not yet been denied. Therefore, Yuan Shu became a "live target" for all princes at that time. Yuan Shu's approach is a bit unwise politically.

Later, Yuan Shu did nothing on his own turf. Slowly, his own coffers are gone.

What to do if you don't have money? In the fourth year of Jian'an (199 AD), Yuan Shu took his family to take refuge with his subordinates Chen Jian and others who were entrenched in Qianshan.

But Chen Jian and the others saw that Yuan Shu was dilapidated like this, and they didn't want to take in this kind of person, so Chen Jian and the others rejected Yuan Shu. And Yuan Shu's brothers also dispersed in a hurry.

Yuan Shu really had no choice, so he was ready to go to Hebei to find his cousin Yuan Shao and ask for a bowl of rice to eat. As a result, the news was heard by Cao Cao.

Of course, Cao Cao would not let Yuan Shu go, because Cao Cao had long thought of destroying Yuan Shu's alliance with Lu Bu. Now Lu Bu has been destroyed by Cao Cao. Then Yuan Shu naturally became the next target.

So, Cao Cao, who was dark-hearted, sent Liu Bei to invite Yuan Shu halfway. Yuan Shu has no way out. He was extremely depressed and soon fell ill and died on the way.

Throughout Yuan Shu's life, it was unremarkable. is just a short-lived "supporting role" in the heroes of the Three Kingdoms.

Yuan Shu's "self-reliance" now seems to be also a great political mistake, because at that time. Especially when Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, it was a very dangerous practice at that time. Therefore, Yuan Shu was reduced to a laughing stock by later generations, because of this critical mistake.

Gongsun Zhan, Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shu were all leaders of the group at that time. They all failed in the end. But it is left to future generations to reflect on them. These three people remain in the long sky of history.
