In the first half of his life, Yuan Shao, as a standard scholar clan, took the world as his own responsibility, and successively fought wits and courage with the evil eunuch group and Dong Zhuo group, and then turned into a powerful prince after the failure of the independent establishment, and walked towards the road of competing for the world.

The battle of Guandu was the turning point of Yuan Shao's decline from prosperity, which dealt a major blow to the Yuan Shao group, after which Yuan Shao died of illness, and the Yuan group was unable to get up.

【Career of the Scholars】

In Yuan Shao's career as a scholar, he faced two powerful dark groups, the first was the eunuch group that had been troubled by the Han dynasty for decades, when the eunuchs controlled the power of the imperial court, they suppressed the scholars, promoted the party, suppressed relatives, concentrated all power on themselves, and then frantically looted the people's fat and ointment for vanity and wealth, and made the world a mess.

At that time, even Yuan Shao, who was born in the Yuan family of Runan and the third prince of the fourth world, had no way to face such a behemoth, so he could only hide in the capital Luoyang and slowly accumulate his strength.

Then the Yellow Turban Rebellion became the first turning point, the power of the eunuchs was severely suppressed in this storm, the party was lifted, He Jin also became a general, the scholars and relatives re-emerged, Yuan Shao and others also took advantage of this time to devote themselves to the command of the general He Jin, and continued to wait for the opportunity to plan everything.

And the east wind of the fall of the eunuchs has finally come, and the Lingdi who has sheltered the eunuchs for more than 20 years finally died, after that, the contradictions between the eunuch group and the scholar group and the foreign relatives group have intensified in an all-round way, Yuan Shao is also active at this time Why in and out of the strategy, but He Jin is too indecisive, missed the time several times, and finally negligently let the eunuchs take his life.

But the eunuchs were just surviving, and in the angry shouts of the scholars and soldiers, the eunuch group ushered in its own end.

Sadly, the coup d'état in Luoyang gave the external warlord Dong Zhuo a chance, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to control the young emperor of the Son of Heaven Liu Wei and Chen Liuwang Liu Xie, and he took full control of the court with the majesty of the Son of Heaven and became the new dark boss.

And Dong Zhuo is a worse guy than the eunuchs, this man from the border is like a wild bull rushing into the porcelain shop, smashing those exquisite cultural relics, he abolished the king, there are no taboos, and finally angered the people of insight in the world, and was attacked by the princes everywhere.

Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the coalition army, as the leader of the scholar clan, he led everyone to kill the traitors and eliminate the evil, but the Xiliang army led by Dong Zhuo was strong, and the anti-Dong coalition army was full of mountains, and the Jizhou Mu Hanfu, who was responsible for the supply, often dragged Yuan Shao's hind legs, resulting in many unfavorable battles, intensified internal contradictions, and the largest sour jujube coalition army directly disintegrated.

Yuan Shao began to find another way out in a helpless situation, and prepared to set up the prestigious Youzhou Mu and the great Sima Liu Yu as the emperor with Han Fu and others, but unfortunately Liu Yu did not do it, and Yuan Shao's plan to set up another plan finally gave up halfway.

After seeing that there was little hope for the revival of the Han family, Yuan Shao gradually turned to put his own interests first and began to compete for world domination.

【Career of the Princes】

Yuan Shao was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Bohai after leaving Luoyang, and he was also a prince in the anti-Dong coalition army, but Yuan Shao became a prince in the real sense of the word, or after seizing Han Fu's Jizhou, at that time Yuan Shao completely got rid of Han Fu's restrictions on him and had completely autonomous power.

Speaking of Han Fu, it was also quite tragic, he was stared at by Liyi, Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao at the same time, and he couldn't beat the other party, so he had to let Jizhou, which was hard to get his hands on, out.

After Yuan Shao seized Jizhou, he obtained a large number of talents, among which Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Lu Yi, Zhang He and others are the most famous, especially Fu Zhu, he put forward the "Jizhou pair" for Yuan Shao, and planned the long-term strategic policy and goals of Yuan Shao Group.

Then Yuan Shao began to unify the four northern states.

At that time, Yuan Shao's main enemies in the north were Zhang Yan's Black Mountain Army and Youzhou's Gongsun Zhan, among which Gongsun Chan was the most powerful and had extremely strong military power. Yuan Shao tried his best to avoid conflict with Gongsun Chan at the beginning, and even gave up his position as the Taishou of Bohai to Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Gongsun Fan, but Gongsun Chan was not stupid, and he was also very clear about Yuan Shao's threat to himself, so he attacked Yuan Shao first.

The two sides launched a decisive battle in the area of Jieqiao, and Yuan Shao won this decisive battle with the help of Liyi and others, thus reversing the situation and gaining the first opportunity against Gongsun Zhan.

After that, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Chan also had many major wars, including the Battle of the General Assembly in the early peace period, the Battle of Gu'an, the Battle of Jumashui and the Battle of Longcuo, the two sides began to stalemate in Qingzhou, and later due to Liu Yu's threat, coupled with the imperial court sent envoys to mediate, Gongsun Chan sued Yuan Shao for peace in order to concentrate his forces against Liu Yu.

Then Gongsun Chan killed Liu Yu, resulting in chaos in Youzhou, Liu Yu's subordinates have raised troops for revenge, Yuan Shao also took the opportunity to send Lu Yi with Liu Yu's son Liu He to crusade against Gongsun Zhan, the two sides started a big battle in Baoqiu, Gongsun Chan was defeated, and was driven to Yijing by Koi Yi, since then Gongsun Chan can only be trapped in a lonely city in the confrontation with Yuan Shao, and was finally eliminated by Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao defeated the two northern enemies of the Black Mountain Army and Gongsun Zhan, completed the unification of the four northern states, and became the strongest prince in the Central Plains at that time, but at the same time he gradually became proud and stubborn.

Yuan Shao first executed his first general Lu Yi on the grounds of not obeying orders, and then gradually distanced himself from his core strategists Fu Zhu and Tian Feng, in the face of Cao Cao's challenge, Yuan Shao first did not follow the advice of Fu Zhi to welcome the Son of Heaven and gave Cao Cao the opportunity, and then when Cao Cao was out of the army, he could not grasp the timing correctly, but reacted slowly, and missed the opportunity to attack again and again.

On the contrary, he forcibly sent troops after the enemy was ready, did not listen to the advice of Fu Zhi and Tian Feng, but trusted Guo Tu and other greedy villains, and finally suffered a fiasco in Guandu, and then the northern overlord was never able to cheer up, and finally returned to dust, leaving the problem of the heir.

Yuan Shao, as a scholar, he tried his best, the eunuch group was fierce at that time, but the fledgling Yuan Shao was not afraid, he tried his best to help He Jin, and tried his best to hit the eunuch, but unfortunately He Jin couldn't help it, and finally gave Dong Zhuo a chance.

And in the face of Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao did not give up, he pinned his hopes on reforming the court and electing a more powerful king after he was unable to defeat Dong Zhuo, but in the end it was also the moon in the mirror, so Yuan Shao chose to be strong, since they were unwilling to ascend the throne, then why couldn't I Yuan Benchu try it.

And Yuan Shao, as a prince, was successful, but even more failed. It is true that Yuan Shao unified the north and was once the strongest prince, but he was full of pride and did not listen to good advice, and was finally beaten back to the prototype in Guandu, Yuan Shao could have been more successful, but he himself chose to bury all this.
