Chapter 583, Zhou Yu is out

Guo Jia saw Yuan Shu's character very accurately, and when everyone in the world was sharpening their knives and Huo Huo wanted to slaughter Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu suddenly took the lead in sending troops unexpectedly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In April of the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu, the emperor of the Zhong family, who had not yet "ascended the throne" for less than a month, announced a crusade against Sun Jian on the grounds of Sun Jian's betrayal and injustice, with Liu Xun as the pastor of Yuzhou and Chen Lan as the Taishou of Yingchuan, and led a large army to crusade against Sun Jian.

Depending on the position, the perception of some things is different, and it is no wonder that others do not think of it. After the news came out, everyone was surprised, even Sun Jian. Although he had been reminded by Guo Jia in advance that he had made preparations, he still had great doubts in his heart, and always thought that at this time, the most important thing for Yuan Shu to do was to consolidate his own power, rather than rush to raise troops because of some previous interests. When things came to an end, I realized that I was still too naïve, even if Yuan Shu became the emperor, he couldn't change his character.

After the surprise, there is a faint excitement, maybe the opportunity has come.

While the other princes were making frequent moves, Liu Feng had also gathered an army of five million in Qu'a, ready to cross the river and go north at any time.

Why Yuan Shu failed, in Liu Feng's view, is nothing more than two aspects, one is personality reasons, and the other is a strategic mistake.

Frankly speaking, Yuan Shu is definitely not a stupid person, and he is quite smart, otherwise, even if he has a huge family, he will not be able to occupy important positions such as Henan Yin and Huben Zhonglang in the period of 2,000 stones during Liu Hong's period. Or, even if Yuan Shu was originally very mediocre, but under the cultivation of the family who spared no effort, he could become a qualified politician, because he mixed in the court and broadened his horizons when he became an adult. He Jin, who was born as a butcher, can become a general in one leap, and Yuan Shu, who was born in the world, is not bad!

Therefore, when Dong Zhuo was defeated and retreated to Chang'an, Yuan Shu soon became the first prince of the Kwantung region, occupying the most fertile land in the Han Dynasty, with many soldiers and generals, and sufficient grain, as if he was the first person most likely to end the chaos in the Kwantung region.

But it's a pity that Yuan Shu failed in the end, and in just ten years, he fell to death, handing over the good situation to others.

Yuan Shu's character determines his strategic choices, and the failure of his strategy leads to his more extreme personality, so he eventually dies.

Let's talk about personality first, as I said before, Yuan Shuguan was born in the second generation, the fourth generation and the third duke, and the superiority of his character is inevitable, not to mention that after looking down on Cao Cao, the eunuch, even his own brother can't look down on him, and there is a kind of "Lao Tzu is the first in the world" thinking, thinking that everyone has to revolve around him, and if he is a little unsatisfactory, he is easy to get angry. When Yuan Shao first got Jizhou, Yuan Shu immediately sent a letter asking for a thousand horses, and after Yuan Shao refused, Yuan Shu was furious, feeling that Yuan Shao underestimated him, and the suspicion between the brothers increased; borrowed grain from Liu Biao but couldn't, so he instigated Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao, and directly killed Sun Jian, and the result of the resentment between the two sides was the alliance of Sun Zhan, the Duke of Beijie, to deal with Yuan Shao and Liu Biao. Or there are princes on both sides, Yuan Shao's side is Cao Cao, who has been following him, and Yuan Shu's side is Tao Qian, who has been bullied by Cao Cao.

It can be said that Yuan Shu's character objectively led to his failure. Because of his character, it is one of the important reasons that affect him to make wrong strategic choices.

The empty occupation of the richest area of the Central Plains, but in the end achieved nothing, Yuan Shu's wrong strategic choice was an important reason.

First of all, Yuan Shu's eyes have always been on the land of Hebei in the Central Plains, and he is disdainful of Jiangnan. Yuan Shu's position can be said to make him face enemies on all sides, and if he wants to achieve something, he must first sweep one side and have a stable rear. From this point of view, it is a good choice for Liu Biao to go south, after all, Liu Biao has just entered Jingzhou, and his position has not yet been stable. It's a pity that Yuan Shu instigated Sun Jian to attack Liu Biao, but he didn't contribute at all, which eventually led to Sun Jian's death, and he never crossed Xiangshui again, but chose to go north.

However, Cao Cao's ability is much stronger than Liu Biao, Yuan Shu hit his head and broke the bloodstream, and the back road was cut off by Liu Biao, so he could only hurriedly lead his troops south to Jiujiang, and since then he has lost the big county of Nanyang. Wait to gain a firm foothold in Jiujiang, capture Jiujiang, Lujiang, Chen Guo, Peiguo, and occupy the land of Huainan, Yuan Shu is still the strongest force in Kanto, at that time Jiangdong region is independent, if Yuan Shu can send generals to seize Jiangdong, there will be a stable rear, but unfortunately Yuan Shu is arrogant, and he can't look down on the "barren" land in Jiangdong. So the imperial court sent Yangzhou Mu Liu Xuan, but in the end it was occupied by Sun Ce Jiangdong.

If Yuan Shu can learn a lesson, it is still not too late, when Cao Cao's army betrayed Lu Bu in the Waichen Palace to welcome Lu Bu into Yanzhou, if Yuan Shu can take the opportunity to go north, or can directly destroy Cao Cao's forces, because at that time, Cao Cao had plans to go to Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shu did not, but coveted Xuzhou, called himself Xuzhou Bo, and successively had disputes with Liu Bei and Lu Bu, which eventually led to Cao Cao's relief and ushered in the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, although Yuan Shu is strong, because of the mistake of strategic choice, the advantage is dissipated little by little, and because of personality reasons, once things do not go well, it is easy to go to extremes, especially if he does not listen to the advice of his subordinates and brazenly proclaims the emperor, and finally buries him. Liu Feng even guessed that Yuan Shu himself could foresee the outcome of the future, but he still insisted on being the emperor, just to get over the addiction of being an emperor, and with Yuan Shu's character, it was not impossible.

Therefore, under the joint siege of Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Sun Ce and others, the power is shrinking day by day. But even so, Yuan Shu persisted for two years before dying, which shows the depth of its heritage.

Seeking the near and far, Yuan Shu made this kind of strategic mistake again in the game, preventing Cao Cao, who was close at hand, not to fight, but to attack Sun Jian in Yingchuan. Liu Feng believed that no matter what reason Yuan Shu made such a decision, it must have something to do with his character. Sun Jian's previous series of behaviors were definitely a naked slap in the face for Yuan Shu, and it was very good that he could persist until now before he did it.

When Liu Xun's head was hit in Yingchuan, Yuan Shu finally realized that these years of indulgence had become a legacy of tiger breeding, and Sun Jian was no longer the little person he was at his disposal at the beginning, but a great prince with several counties and millions of soldiers.

However, Yuan Shu is already difficult to ride a tiger, this is his first battle after becoming the emperor, and he wants to establish his authority, of course, he can't just admit defeat so hastily, even if he grits his teeth, he must persevere.

Cao Cao, Liu Biao, and Liu Feng are all restrained, the battle of Yingchuan is a temptation, if Yuan Shu can destroy Sun Jian in one battle, or they will be a little scrupulous, but with the stalemate of the battle of Yingchuan, someone has already begun to act.

Half a month after the start of the Yingchuan War, Cao Cao brazenly launched an attack on the state of Lu under the banner of crusading against rebellion, wanting to complete the unfinished results. And Liu Biao, as a relative of the Han family, reprimanded Yuan Shu's rebellious behavior, and cooperated with Zhang Ji to send troops to Runan again.

Liu Feng was also ready to fight against Yuan Shu. But before he could cross the river, he had to crush Yuan Shu's army.

But before he could set off, news came from Jiangbei that Zhou Yu had come out. Not only him, but even his uncle Zhou Shang also came out under Yuan Shu, and his official position is not small, the prime minister of a country.
