183 Yuan Shao's Ten Deadly Sins
Soon after sending Kong Rong away, Liu Bei received a message from Gongsun Zhan. Everyone will use this method of sending a message, just like before the war later, the big guy will first have a telegram war.
Since Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, brothers turned against each other and looked for an alliance, the situation between the Kwantung princes began to evolve violently.
At the beginning, Yuan Shao still wanted to fight for Yuan Shu. At the beginning, Yuan Shao and Jizhou Mu Hanfu decided to support Youzhou Liu Yu as the emperor, and once wrote a letter to Yuan Shu to ask Yuan Shu's opinion. Yuan Shu was originally unhappy to see that Yuan Shao's concubine was actually more famous than himself, but this time he got the opportunity to take the opportunity to reply to the letter, and mocked Yuan Shao in a bright way. The two didn't deal with each other very much, but this time it was even worse, and the relationship between the brothers completely fell to the bottom.
Yuan Shao sent people to support Liu Yu as the emperor, and all kinds of means were used. At this time, the Son of Heaven was young, and it was Dong Zhuo again. And Liu Yu, as an elder of the clan, has a high reputation and is admired at home, Yuan Shao engaged in this hand, which made the Chang'an court very passive, fortunately, Liu Yu did not have the heart to be the emperor, and even said fiercely, if you force me to be the emperor again, I will go to the Huns to be a savage, and then stop.
In order to show his loyalty, Liu Yu wanted to find an envoy to go to Chang'an to "show his minister's day". I asked your men if you know who could do this. His subordinates told him that although Tian Chou was young, he was a man who could be entrusted with heavy responsibilities.
So, Liu Yu summoned Tian Chou, after Tian Chou received the order, he specially circled a large circle from the Hu people's land, first went north and then south, traveled thousands of miles, and finally arrived in Chang'an, explaining to the imperial court, showing that Liu Yu had no intention of being the emperor.
Liu Yu's son Liu He served as a waiter beside Emperor Xian, and Emperor Xian wanted to return east in Chang'an, so he sent Liu He to escape from Chang'an and return to Youzhou to contact Liu Yu and ask him to send soldiers and horses to meet him. Sending Liu Yu's son is to show that the emperor trusts Liu Yu, so he will not keep your son as a hostage.
Liu He did not go back to Youzhou directly, but went to Nanyang Yuan Shu, this is not Liu Helu idiot, I don't know how to go back to Youzhou, I took a detour. It's because among the princes in the world now, only Yuan Shu and Sun Jian are still insisting on crusading against Dong Zhuo, and Sun Jian is still Yuan Shu's ally and half of his subordinates.
As a result, as soon as Liu He arrived in Nanyang, Yuan Shu detained Liu He on the spot, saying that he would go together to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and asked Liu He to write a letter to Liu Yu, asking Liu Yu to send soldiers and horses to Nanyang, and then go to Chang'an together to meet the Son of Heaven.
After Liu Yu received his son's letter, he consulted with Gongsun Zhan and proposed sending several thousand cavalry to help Yuan Shu. Gongsun Zhan thought that Yuan Shu had different intentions, and persuaded Liu Yu not to send troops, not to lose soldiers in vain.
It can't be said that what Gongsun Chan said is unreasonable, the problem is that Liu Yu's son is in the hands of Yuan Shu, and in the end, Liu Yu still sent thousands of people to Yuan Shu. Seeing this, Gongsun Zan was afraid of offending Yuan Shu, so he thought about it and came up with an idea, so he simply sent troops to help Yuan Shu first, and by the way, persuaded Yuan Shu to simply absorb the soldiers and horses sent by Liu Yu, so that Liu Yu would not listen to me.
So, Gongsun Zhan took the initiative to send his cousin Gongsun Yue to lead more than 1,000 cavalry to help Yuan Shu. As soon as Gongsun Yue arrived in Nanyang County, he secretly persuaded Yuan Shu to detain Liu He and annex the thousands of men and horses sent by Liu Yu. Gongsun Chan did something unkind, and after these things happened, the contradiction between Liu Yu and Gongsun Chan became public.
Gongsun Yue was sent by Yuan Shu again to follow Sun Jian to attack Yuan Shao and grab territory, but during the battle between Sun Jian and Zhou Ang, he died in the middle of the arrow.
Gongsun Chan was very sad to learn that his cousin Gongsun Yue had died in battle. Although there are many people involved in his cousin's death, Liu Yu, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, Zhou Ang, including Gongsun Zan himself are all responsible. But Gongsun Zhan, this account was still calculated on Yuan Shao's head, and said to others, "Brother Yu's death is due to Shao." ”
At the beginning, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan said that they would divide Jizhou equally, but Gongsun Chan was still spinning around outside Jizhou, and Yuan Shao had already taken over Jizhou from Han Fu. Although Gongsun Chan can't say that he didn't catch anything, he only controls some areas in the northern part of Jizhou, and it really can't be called an equal division of Jizhou.
However, Yuan Shao is not Han Fu, Yuan Shao is famous, and he has many soldiers and horses, Han Fu has given Jizhou Mu to him, Gongsun Zhan is unknown, and he has taken a certain advantage, and in the end, he didn't dare to turn his face.
This time, Gongsun Yue died in battle, Gongsun Zhan was furious, and finally broke out, and wanted to settle the account with Yuan Shao, so he issued a crusade against Yuan Shao to all parts of Jizhou, and sent troops to seize Jizhou to take revenge.
Pingyuan, Liu Bei learned the news and hurriedly sent someone to invite everyone to come and discuss. This time, Liu Bei made up his mind that if he couldn't make a decision, he would listen to Xun Yu, after all, Xun Yu was a figure who had been proven by history, and he could still be trusted. In short, Liu Bei must not be like Yuan Shao, leaving people with a feeling of "being scheming and indecisive". If the hearts of the people are scattered, it will be difficult to lead the team.
Seeing that everyone had not arrived, Liu Bei opened Gongsun Zhan's inscription and looked at it, which listed Yuan Shao's ten sins in detail. I don't know who wrote it for Gongsun Zhan, if he wrote it himself, then Gongsun Chan really didn't learn from Lu Zhi in vain, at least the article was well written. Liu Bei watched while still commenting there.
As soon as Gongsun Chan came up, he first belittled Yuan Shao's character, and then listed Yuan Shao's ten deadly sins.
The first crime, when Yuan Shao was the lieutenant of Si Li, he tried his best to instigate He Jin to recruit Dong Zhuo, and Yuan Shao was the culprit of the chaos in the world.
The second crime, after Yuan Shao entered Beijing, he knew that Dong Zhuo controlled the emperor, but Yuan Shao not only did not come forward to protect the emperor, but ran away by himself, so Yuan Shao was disloyal.
The third crime, Yuan Shao guarded Bohai too much, and privately prepared soldiers and horses to attack Dong Zhuo, but he didn't tell his father and brother, so that his uncle and brother's whole family were killed by Dong Zhuo, so Yuan Shao was not filial.
The fourth crime, Yuan Shao's crusade against Dong Zhuo, took two years before and after, and if he didn't fight well, he knew that he cultivated power, exploited the rich, and collected blame money, so that the people complained and complained, so Yuan Shao was unkind.
The fifth sin, Yuan Shao persecuted Han Fu, took away his Jizhou pastor, and engraved a gold seal and jade seal, every time he wrote a document, the text said "an edict, Yixiang Hou Yin", his actions were the same as Wang Mang's original intentions, so Yuan Shao had already had the heart of rebellion.
For the sixth sin, Yuan Shao reused an astrologer named Cui Juye, gave him a huge amount of wealth, ate and drink with him, and made a decision before making a decision on major and minor matters, including when and where to rob. This is not the right thing for a minister to do.
The seventh crime, Yuan Shao and the late Huya Lieutenant Liu Xun jointly created an army, Liu Xun made a lot of contributions to Yuan Shao, and subdued Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao killed Liu Xun with small anger.
In the eighth crime, Yuan Shao asked for money from the late Shanggu Taishou Gaoyan and the late Ganling Prime Minister Yao Gong, and the money was not satisfied with Yuan Shao, so Yuan Shao killed the two to demonstrate.
The ninth sin, Yuan Shao was raised by a little maid, this is not a scolding of him, but a fact. According to the meaning of "Spring and Autumn", the son is more precious than the mother. Yuan Shao came from a humble background and insulted the Yuan family of Runan, the court of the fourth and third dukes.
The tenth crime, the last thing Yuan Shao should do is to rob the old Changsha Taishou, the current Yuzhou Assassin Sun Jian's territory, Sun Jian led the Yuzhou Assassin History, drove away Dong Zhuo, swept away the mausoleum, and made great contributions, Yuan Shao ordered Zhou Ang to steal his position, cut off the strong grain, and ordered him not to enter, so that Dong Zhuo would not be punished.
Later general Yuan Shu once wrote to Gongsun Zhan, saying that Yuan Shao was not a member of the Yuan family. And Yuan Shao's crime, although the bamboo of Nanshan cannot be carried.
Seeing this, Liu Bei couldn't help but let out a surprised "huh", the word "hard to write" actually originated from Gongsun Zhan.
In the end, Gongsun Zan said that he would follow the example of Qi Huan and Jin Wen and work with the generals and county soldiers to defeat Yuan Shao.
In all fairness, Gongsun Zhan's exposure of Yuan Shao's ten sins may be rhetorically exaggerated, but they are basically facts.
It's just that some of these things are a bit harsh, such as "an edict, Yixiang Hou Yin", Gongsun Chan thinks that Yuan Shao is trespassing, which is indeed trespassing, but at this time, the whole country, including Gongsun Chan, is doing this, and they are all trespassing. In popular parlance, it is called "performance", "recommendation", and "performance".
Yuan Shao reused stargazers, especially superstitious, in fact, there are not too many superstitious people in this era, and the same is true for Gongsun Zhan, who also trusts fortune tellers, and has changed hands with a fortune teller and become brothers.
What really hit Yuan Shao the hardest was Gongsun Zhan's revelation that Yuan Shao's mother was a slave.
In the eyes of modern people, this is nothing, in ancient times, the difference between the descendants and the concubines was extremely serious, until the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination was flourishing, and the difference between the descendants and the concubines was not very valued.
In ancient times, the little maid raised it was a curse. The children raised by the little maid don't even have the right to do so, so Yuan Shu simply called Yuan Shao a house slave.
At this time, everyone had already come, Liu Bei put down the text, handed it to everyone, and said to everyone: "Let's take a look." ”
