Before the Battle of Jieqiao, Gongsun Zhan wrote a list of Yuan Shao's ten major sins, counted Yuan Shao's stains, and criticized Yuan Shao as useless, and Yuan Shao's stains in history are indeed more, here are the seven biggest stains in Yuan Shao's life.

[1. Send Zhou Ang to replace Sun Jian as the assassin of Yuzhou]

In the later stage of Dong Zhuo's crusade, Sun Jian, the general under Yuan Shu, won one victory after another, defeated Dong Zhuo and recovered Luoyang, sweeping away the decline of the previous anti-Dong coalition army, and even had a tendency to directly enter the pass to destroy Dong Zhuo, but at this time, Yuan Shao sent Zhou Ang to seize Sun Jian's rear for the Yuzhou assassination, which caused Sun Jian to be unable to continue to march, which directly brought the anti-Dong cause to a standstill.

Although Yuan Shao did this for his own benefit, there is no doubt that this incident is the biggest stain on Yuan Shao's life. This matter, even if others can do it, Yuan Shao can't do it.

First of all, Yuan Shao is the leader of the anti-Dong coalition army, the goal is to fight against Dong Zhuo, when Sun Jian is victorious, Yuan Shao did not give support but dragged him back, which is unjustifiable no matter what, not to mention that Sun Jian is a subordinate of Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu. Moreover, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao have a family feud and a hatred of the country, as a loyal supporter of Liu Wei, Yuan Shao is inseparable from Dong Zhuo in righteousness, plus the blood of the Yuan family, how can Yuan Shao do things that are happy for relatives and enemies.

After he did this, what kind of face would he have to meet his uncle Yuan Kui and eldest brother Yuan Ji under Huangquan.

[2. Heir Issue]

Yuan Shao is also very fucked up on the issue of heirs, and Yuan Shao has not only not solved this problem from beginning to end, but has been adding chaos all the time.

During the Xingping period (194-195), the question of the heirs of the northern Yuan group began to officially surface, when Yuan Shao, on the advice of one of his main advisers, succeeded his eldest son Yuan Tan to his dead brother, with great intention of correcting Yuan Shang, and finally sent Yuan Tan to Qingzhou, where the environment was harsh at that time.

Yuan Shao's actions had already caused Fu Shao's worries at that time, and Fu Zhu asked Yuan Shao to make a decision as soon as possible, but Yuan Shao not only did not listen, but instead let the princes and towns develop their own forces, which laid the groundwork for the civil strife behind the Yuan family.

But he didn't expect that after Yuan Tan went to Qingzhou, he was brilliant and brilliant, which made Yuan Shao, who was already leaning towards Yuan Shang in Liu's ears, begin to change his mind, and Yuan Shao was a scheming person, so he had been hesitating between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang. This made Yuan Shao's subordinates also divided into two factions, one faction supported the eldest son Yuan Tan, and the other faction supported the third son Yuan Shang, and the fight was endless.

And Yuan Shao's most pitiful thing on this issue is that he didn't decide who was his heir before he died, and directly left this mess.

[Three, do not welcome the Son of Heaven]

If Yuan Shao welcomed the Son of Heaven to Yecheng under the advice of Frustration, then there may be nothing to Cao Cao in the later history, but if Yuan Shao welcomed the Son of Heaven, then he would not be Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao did not lead the Son of Heaven, first of all, he gave up the righteousness of the Son of Heaven, gave up the opportunity to point fingers at other princes, and at the same time gave this opportunity to others, which made Yuan Shao himself face the risk of being suppressed by the righteousness. And in history, the consequence was that Cao Cao picked up a big bargain, turned over and suppressed Yuan Shao in the name of the Son of Heaven, and finally completed the transcendence of Yuan Shao.

But who is to blame? After all, it was Yuan Shao's own decision.

[Fourth, no need to be frustrated]

As the number two person in Yuan Shao's group, is his ability to teach much worse than Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu and others? No. In the history of the Three Kingdoms, he was the first person to put forward the macro strategy "Jizhou Pair" in detail, and he was the first to put forward the idea of coercing the Son of Heaven to make the princes think, and he put forward so many opinions for Yuan Shao, whether it was the question of welcoming the Son of Heaven or the heir, which was later proved to be completely correct.

Frustration is really very, very, very awesome. But how did Yuan Shao use frustration, Yuan Shao didn't care about him, didn't use him, and used Guo Tu.

In those capable second masters, Frustration is the worst, whether it is Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or Sun Quan, they all treat Zhuge Liang, Xun Yu, and Zhou Yu as thighs, only Yuan Shao kicked Frustration to the side, and "It means that I don't listen to you, what are you doing." ”

So Yuan Shao didn't have it.

[Five: Factor Strike]

In history, Tian Feng had twice persuaded Yuan Shao to take advantage of Cao Cao's outings to go south, but Yuan Shao did not accept it, the first time because of the threat of Gongsun Zan in the rear, Yuan Shao's decision cannot be said to be unreasonable.

But the second time, Yuan Shao was really funny.

At that time, Cao Cao went out to crusade against Liu Bei, Yuan Shao's ally, and Yuan Shao himself decided to go south, at this time Cao Cao's absence was a good time, even if he couldn't make a meritorious contribution at one time, he could force Cao Cao back and relieve Liu Bei's pressure. The result? Yuan Shao refused to send troops because his youngest son was ill, and sat back and watched Liu Bei be expelled by Cao Cao, missing a rare opportunity. And after Cao Cao drove Liu Bei out of Xuzhou, he was able to do his best to fight against Yuan Shao.

From a father's point of view, Yuan Shao may be forgivable, but Yuan Shao is not just a father.

[6. Capture the Jizhou of the ally Han Fu]

This matter is 100% wrong from a moral point of view, and there is nothing to argue with this. But Yuan Shao did this, which is very correct from the perspective of his development. At that time, Yuan Shao, as the leader of the anti-Dong coalition army, was already in a deep predicament, and he could not defeat Dong Zhuo if he advanced, and his allies had withdrawn.

So at that time, it was normal for Yuan Shao to want to go one step further and seek Jizhou, and although Han Fu was a disciple of the Yuan family, for his own selfishness, he had a lot of restrictions on Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao was also short of supplies when he fought against Dong Zhuo, and he did not do his best, and Yuan Shao's lack of military action was inseparable from Han Fu.

More importantly, Han Fu himself is not a capable person, and Yuan Shao has the ability to seize Jizhou from him. But in any case, seizing the territory of allies did have an impact on Yuan Shao's reputation.

[7. Abandon the official and flee]

Although the matter of leading Dong Zhuo into Luoyang in history was strongly advocated by Yuan Shao, in fact, this suggestion itself was not very problematic, it was a successful deterrent to Empress Dowager He at that time, and later it was mainly He Jin who had an accident, so that Dong Zhuo seized the opportunity, otherwise where could Dong Zhuo enter Beijing and monopolize power.

But then again, Dong Zhuo's monopoly of power is still related to Yuan Shao's inaction.

Yuan Shao's position at that time was the lieutenant of Si Li, which was equivalent to the assassin history of the central government, and his power was very great, Yuan Shao had the responsibility and obligation to fight against Dong Zhuo at that time, especially in the early days of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, Yuan Shao also had a chance, Bao Xin persuaded Yuan Shao to do it, but Yuan Shao did not dare to do it.

Then Yuan Shao refused to cooperate with Dong Zhuo in the abolition of the establishment and left, although he showed his loyalty to the Han, but he did not fulfill his duties.
