The year 193 was a year of many disasters. Natural disasters continue. When there was a natural disaster, the court changed the three dukes, and several in a year.

Spring, the first month, Jiayinshuo, the sun has an eclipse.

Ding Mao, forgive the world.

In June, it rained heavily and hail.

Huashan cracked.

Taiwei Zhou Zhongfu, with the servant Zhu Jun as the captain, recorded Shangshu.

Heavy rain, day and night, drifted away from the dwellings.

Winter, October, Xinchou, Jingshi earthquake.

There are stars in the heavenly market. Sikong Yang Biao is exempt. Bingwu, with Taichang Zhao Wen as the commonplace, recorded the book.

December, Xinchou, earthquake.

Sikong Zhao Wen is exempt. Yi Si, with Wei Wei Zhang Xi as the commonplace.

The year 193 (the fourth year of the first peace) was also an era of war, and the Central Plains was in constant war. The Kwantung princes all began the process of annexation.

On the whole, the joint camp of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao won a great victory.

The first is Yuan Shu:

In January, Yuan Shu attacked Cao Cao in the north and was defeated by Cao Cao. Lost the base area of Nanyang County (now Nanyang, Henan) and retreated to the Huaishui Basin. Flee to Jiujiang.

In April, Yuan Shu gathered scattered troops to attack Shouchun (now Shou County, Anhui), expelled Chen Yu, the assassin of Yangzhou, who claimed to be the assassin of Yangzhou, and also led the Xuzhou pastor, and then took Huainan (the county governs Shouchun, and governs the area south of present-day Huaishui).

In the third year of the first peace, Chen Wen, the assassin of Yangzhou, died of illness, and Yuan Shu made Chen Yu lead Yangzhou pastor. Later, Cao Cao was defeated by Fengqiu, and he went south to Shouchun, and Yu refused to accept the technique. The technique goes to the Yin Tomb, and it is good to say the following Yu, Yu does not know the right, and he is cowardly, not to attack the technique. Shu gathered troops in Huaibei to Shouchun. Yu was afraid, so his younger brother Yan asked for peace with Yushu. Perseverance and progress, Yu went back to Xiapi (Chen Yu's hometown).

followed by Yuan Shao:

In May, Yuan Shao annexed the state and appointed his nephew Gao Gan as the assassin of the state.

In the same month, tens of thousands of troops from the Black Mountain Army captured Yecheng and killed the Taishou of Wei County.

In June, Yuan Shao marched into Chaoge (present-day Qi County, Henan) and attacked the Black Mountain Army near Lugut Mountain and the Poison Department. The siege lasted for five days, beheaded by poison, and killed more than 10,000 Montenegrin troops.

Yuan Shao immediately marched along the mountain, defeated the Black Mountain Army in the Mustache Zhangba, Liu Shi, Qingniujiao, Zuo Xiao, Guo Daxian, Li Damu, Yu Digen and other departments, and beheaded tens of thousands of people.

And with the Montenegrin army Zhang Yan fought in Changshan (now northwest of Quyang, Hebei), Zhang Yan's army was very strong, there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers, thousands of horses, the two armies fought fiercely for more than ten days, both sides were killed and wounded, and the soldiers were exhausted. So the battle was struck, and each led his troops and retreated.

Cao Cao again:

Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu, but the cheapness was taken by Liu Biao of Jingzhou. Liu Biao occupied Nanyang.

Cao Cao defeated Tao Qian, and only recaptured Hua and Fei counties in Taishan County, Yanzhou.

In short, Cao Cao fought everywhere, and all of them won, and he was famous. However, the territory has not expanded, and Yanzhou's economy has also been crushed, and the grain and grass are not ready. So his eyes were set on the wealthy Xuzhou again, wondering when to do it again.

Finally, Gongsun Zhan:

In the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Liu Yu led 100,000 troops to attack Gongsun Zhan, who was in Youzhou with him.

What Liu Yu didn't expect was that he was killed instead of doing it, and finally died, allowing Gongsun Zan to unify Youzhou.

Here's how it happened:

Gongsun Zhan had long been preparing to fall out with Liu Yu, he secretly built a castle in private, consolidated his defenses, prepared sufficient grain and grass, and prepared for a battle with Liu Yu.

And Liu Yu also asked Gongsun Chan to go to Jicheng for meetings many times, hoping to take the opportunity to get rid of Gongsun Chan, but Gongsun Chan also saw that the wind was not in the right direction and did not go to the banquet at all.

Liu Yu was worried that Gongsun Chan would eventually make trouble, so he decided to take the lead and clean up Gongsun Chan.

In the autumn of the fourth year of Chuping (193), Liu Yu used his influence in Youzhou to gather 100,000 people to attack Gongsun Zhan.

Before leaving, he engaged in Cheng Xu's dissuasion and was beheaded by Liu Yu. Liu Yu told the soldiers: "Don't hurt too many people, just kill Gongsun Chan alone." ”

Liu Yu's subordinates were engaged in Gongsun Ji, and they were treated favorably by Gongsun Chan because of the same surname, and ran to Gongsun Chan at night to denounce Liu Yu's plan.

Liu Yu's army marched towards Gongsun Zhan's castle. It was autumn, and Gongsun Chan sent all his troops to steal the grain of the common people, and there were less than 1,000 soldiers and horses left in the castle. Gongsun Chan quickly responded, sent people to break through the siege first, and notified the army outside to rush back quickly, leaving all the men and horses to defend the city tower.

The soldiers under Liu Yu rarely participated in group battles. This large army of 100,000 people, the origin is very complicated, it is led by dozens of generals, plus some people from the Wuheng tribe. Without unified moderation, it is difficult to unify orders, and they are basically based on the past belonging. Three thousand, five thousand people were stationed together, and there was no deliberate unified deployment arrangement at all. All crowded outside the castle.

The most terrible thing is that when Liu Yu gave the order to attack, he actually asked all the soldiers not to burn down people's houses and not to hurt innocent people when shooting arrows.

Liu Yu said: "There are no injuries to the rest of the people, just kill one Bogui." ”

With Liu Yu's order, the soldiers were even more restrictive when attacking. After a day of fighting, the city was not taken.

After dark, Liu Yu ordered to rest. Since it had been seen that Gongsun Zhan's main force was not in the city, Liu Yu should have strengthened the attack and taken the city in one go. However, Liu Yu thought that the soldiers were too hard to march and fight for a day, and anyway, even if it was dawn, Gongsun Zhan's reinforcements might not be able to rush back. Fight to win it tomorrow morning.

Late at night, Gongsun Chan saw that the time had come, so he led his carefully selected two or three hundred cavalry to open the city gate and suddenly rushed into Liu Yu's camp.

Gongsun Zhan's cavalry, each armed with torches, rushed into the enemy camp and threw the torches into the enemy's tent. Most of Liu Yu's troops had not experienced a death battle, and most of them had fallen asleep after a tiring day. At this time, I woke up from my dream and saw fires everywhere, thinking that Gongsun Zhan's main force had arrived, everyone was frightened and had no fighting spirit, only knew how to flee for their lives, and the chaos collapsed.

In this way, Liu Yu's 100,000 people were beaten by Gongsun Zhan and two or three hundred people, looking for teeth all over the ground. Liu Yu was defeated and fled north to Juyong County. Gongsun Zhan took advantage of the victory to pursue, gathered a large army, and broke through Juyong City in three days, capturing Liu Yu and his family alive.

Originally, even if Gongsun Chan was victorious, he would not dare to kill Liu Yu without authorization. After all, Liu Yu has been in politics in Youzhou for many years and has a great reputation.

It just so happened that at this time, the imperial court's envoy came to Youzhou. Qin Cha originally arrived in Youzhou and rewarded Youzhou Mu Liu Yu, but as soon as he entered the territory of Youzhou, he was controlled by Gongsun Zhan.

Then, Gongsun Zhan came with a messenger and took advantage of Yuan Shao's fact that he had established Liu Yu as the emperor, and slandered Liu Yu for wanting to be honored. Jiao Zhao said that Liu Yu rebelled and killed Liu Yu's family by the emperor's order. Then he appointed himself as a former general and officially took over the military and political power of Youzhou.

After that, Gongsun Zhan coerced Duan Xun, the envoy of the Son of Heaven, to behead Liu Yu at the market in Jicheng.

At that time, Gongsun Zhan hung Liu Yu in the bazaar, saying that if Liu Yu was the true son of heaven, it would rain to save him. It's a pity that it didn't rain, and Gongsun killed Liu Yu. - Original text: Zhan was exposed to the city and wished: "If you should be the Son of Heaven, the sky should be saved by rain." It was the height of the summer, but it didn't rain, so he killed.

A long time ago, Gongsun Kang discussed Liu Yu with Gongsun Zhan. Gongsun Kang said to Gongsun Zhan: "If my uncle really has a day when he and Liu Yu turn their faces and become enemies, it is best not to kill Liu Yu, and you can send him back to Chang'an." Because his fame is too great, and he is also very popular in Youzhou, it will not be good for your rule after killing. ”

Who is Gongsun Chan? It's an autocratic tyrant! Where did he remember Gongsun Kang's words, he was ruthless, and only thought about killing Liu Yu and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots.

It should be said that Gongsun Chan does not understand politics. You see how well Gongsun Kang played in Qingzhou, expelled Kong Rong, and gained a good reputation.
