However, it is said that Liu Biao, born in the first year of Emperor Shun of the Eastern Han Dynasty (142), the word Jingsheng, a native of Gaoping County, Shanyang County (now Weishan, Shandong), after Liu Yu, King Lugong of the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Biao received a good education when he was young. To grow up, more than eight feet long, gentle and majestic, very good friends, participated in the student movement, very famous, and a variety of seven people to make friends, known as Jiangxia "eight handsome", "eight Gu", "eight friends", "eight and" said. Liu Biao was consulted with Zhang Jian and others in the same county during the second party disaster, and was forced to flee. In order to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising, the imperial court lifted the ban on party management, and Liu Biao was made a subordinate by the general He Jin, and recommended to enter the court again and serve as a candidate in the Northern Army.

In the first year of Chuping (190), Wang Rong, the assassin of Jingzhou, was killed by Sun Jian, and Dong Zhuo sent Liu Biao to take over as the assassin of Jingzhou.

At that time, the Jiangnan clan was strong, and Yuan Shutun was in Luyang, and he had all the people of Nanyang; Wu Rensu was the Taishou of Changsha, and Bei Yu was the magistrate of Huarong County, each of them according to the militia and hegemony in the local area, which made Liu Biao unable to take office directly. Liu Biaoweifu went to Jingzhou anonymously and celibately before he was appointed.

After Liu Biao arrived in Jingzhou, he entered Yicheng on a single horse and conspired with Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue, a native of Yanping, and Cai Mao, a native of Xiangyang. Liu Biao asked everyone: "The thieves here are very prosperous, and the masses are not attached, so Yuan Shu is in chaos, and the disaster is now coming!" I want to recruit troops here, but I'm afraid they won't be able to gather, so what do you do? ”

Kuai Liang said: "The reason why everyone does not attach is because of the lack of benevolence; The reason why dependence cannot be established is due to the lack of righteousness. If the way of benevolence and righteousness can be practiced, then the people will return like the downward trend of the water, so why worry about the incoming people and ask for the strategy of raising the army? ”

Liu Biao asked Kuai Yue again. Kuai Yue said: "Those who govern peace take benevolence and righteousness first, and those who govern chaos take power and strategy first." There are not many soldiers, but they can win their people. Yuan Shu is brave and unbreakable, Su Dai and Bei Yu are all brave martial artists, so there is nothing to worry about. The leader of the thieves is greedy and violent, and his subordinates are worried. If some of my men who are usually cultivated are sent to show their benefit, the leader of the sect and thieves will surely come with a crowd. The king will punish those who have no way, and then use them with others. The people of such a state are happy to stay in this state, and when they learn that the king is virtuous, they will definitely help the old and the weak, and then gather the troops to attach, according to Jiangling in the south, and Xiangyang in the north, and the eight counties of Jingzhou can be passed on. Although Yuan Shu and the others came, there was nothing they could do. ”

Liu Biao sighed: "Zirou (Kuai Liangzi) can be said to be the theory of Yongji; The plan of the different degree (Kuai Yue character) can be said to be the strategy of the murderer. Then he asked Kuai Yue to send people to lure fifty-five thieves to the banquet, kill them all, and attack their subordinates together. Only the Jiangxia thieves Zhang Hu and Chen Sheng supported the people to defend Xiangyang, and Liu Biao sent Kuai Yue and Pang Ji to surrender them.

When the county guards and county magistrates of Jingzhou heard that Liu Biaowei was famous, most of them took off their seals and fled. At this point, Liu Biao controlled the seven counties of Jingzhou except Nanyang County, and managed the troops in Xiangyang to observe the changes of time.

The Kwantung Prefecture raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo, although Liu Biao did not join, but he also recommended Yuan Shu to be the Taishou of Nanyang, and temporarily expressed his goodness and waited and saw the development of the situation.

Liu Biao read Yuan Shao's letter of "intercepting and killing Sun Jian and recapturing the jade seal", and knew that Dong Zhuo moved westward, thinking that Yuan Shao's success was in sight, so he wanted to make peace with him, so he ordered Kuai Yue and Cai Mao to lead 10,000 troops to intercept and kill Sun Jian and recapture the jade seal of the country.

The two armies confronted each other, Cai Mao danced his sword to fight, and Huang Gai greeted him with a whip. After a few moments, Huang Gai hit Cai Mao's heart guard with a whip, Cai Mao fell off his horse and left, and Sun Jian took advantage of the situation to cover up.

Suddenly, Liu Biao personally led the army to block the way. Speaking of the jade seal of the country, Sun Jian said that there is no such thing. Liu Biao wanted to search the luggage of the army. Sun Jian was furious and wanted to surrender his troops, so Liu Biao led the army to retreat.

Sun Jian chased after him, and the ambush behind the two mountains protruded, and Kuai Yue and Cai Mao rushed behind him to besiege Sun Jian and kill him in the core, but Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Dang led the army to kill and desperately rescued Sun Jian. Sun Jian stood out from the encirclement, saw that more than half of the troops were defeated, had no intention of fighting again, and returned to Jiangdong with the generals, and since then he has formed a grudge with Liu Biao.

It is said that Yuan Shao and Han Fu plotted to establish Youzhou Mu Liu Yu as the emperor, and Cao Cao's opinion was refused, but he was still unwilling, thinking that Liu Yu was a relative of the Han family, with high power in the dynasty and high prestige in the Kwantung region, if he was established as the emperor, it was enough to compete with Dong Zhuo. conspired with Han Fu and wrote a chapter for Liu Yu.

Liu Yu once assassinated the history of Youzhou, led the army to recruit Zhang Chun's rebellion, and the imperial court adopted the suggestion of Taichang Liu Yan to "change the history of the assassination to the state pastor" and appointed Liu Yu as the pastor of Youzhou.

Liu Yan believes that the reason why the Quartet raised troops was because "the power of the assassin is light" and "the use of non-people" should be "selected to clear the name of the important minister to occupy his position". Liu Yan and Liu Yu were both well-known ministers at that time, and they were appointed as Yizhou Mu and Youzhou Mu respectively.

During Liu Yu's tenure as the pastor of Youzhou, he streamlined his troops, widely distributed favors, and threatened the outside world. In that year, Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty sent an envoy to promote Liu Yu to the rank of lieutenant and seal the Marquis of Rongqiu. Liu Yu first pushed and recommended Weiwei Zhao Mo, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, Yuzhou Mu Huang Wan, and Nanyang Taishouyang to continue to serve in this position, but Liu Hong finally worshiped Liu Yu as a Tai Lieutenant.

At that time, the officials worshiped the three princes, and they had to pay a huge amount of gift money to the West Garden. Liu Hong deliberately exempted Liu Yu from gift money because Liu Yu had always had a reputation for honesty and honesty, and because he had made a contribution to quelling Zhang Chun's rebellion.

Youzhou was originally a poor state, and it needed Qingdao and Hebei prefectures to subsidize official expenses, but at that time, due to the war and traffic cutoff, it was impossible to dispatch money. Liu Yu pursued leniency in Youzhou, persuaded the people to farm, and obtained income from opening the Shanggu market to trade with foreigners and mining salt and iron ore in Yuyang, so that more than 100,000 people from Qingzhou and Xuzhou went into exile here and lived and worked in peace and contentment.

Although Liu Yu is a high-ranking official at the third public level, his nature is thrifty, he wears shabby clothes, and does not eat more than one meat dish at a meal. The wealthy families who originally had a luxurious style near and far were all influenced by him to change their atmosphere.

Later, Dong Zhuo was autocratic and sent an envoy to grant Liu Yu the Great Sima and enter the title of Marquis of Xiangben.

In the first year of Chuping (190), Dong Zhuo worshipped Liu Yu as his master and summoned him to serve in the court. However, due to the blockage of the road, the appointment could not be reached.

Liu Yu was so loyal to the Han family, how could he be moved by Yuan Shao and Han Fu and resolutely refuse. Han Fu and others asked Liu Yu to receive the Shangshu in order to seal the officials to everyone according to the system, but Liu Yu refused again.

Yuan Shao saw that Liu Yu refused to be the emperor, that the emperor had no hope of holding power, and that the army under his command lacked food, so he intended to occupy Jizhou, expand his territory, and strengthen his power, so he adopted the advice of the strategist Feng Ji, and secretly sent a letter to Gongsun Zhan, asking him to raise troops to jointly capture Jizhou and divide the land equally: on the one hand, he informed Han Fu to prevent Gongsun Zhan from attacking Jizhou; He also made Chen Liugaogan and Yingchuan Xun Chen go to Jizhou to persuade Han Fu.

Gao Gan is Yuan Shao's nephew, and Xun Chen has a good relationship with Han Fu. The two came to Yecheng, the seat of Jizhou (now in Linzhang County, Hebei), and said to Han Fu: "Gongsun Zhan took advantage of the victory to go south, and the counties looked at the wind and fell; Yuan Shao led his troops to Yanjin and made a detour to the east, with unpredictable intentions. We were all privately worried about the general. ”

Han Fu had been informed by Yuan Shao, and received the news of Gongsun Zhan's army, he was very afraid, and when he heard what the two of them said, he couldn't help but gasp, and asked eagerly: "Since this is the case, what should I do?" ”

Xun Chen didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "According to the general's estimate, how is he better than Yuan Shao in terms of generosity and benevolence to people?" Han Fu said: "It's not as good." Asked again: "In terms of decision-making in times of crisis and wisdom and bravery, how is it better than Yuan Shao?" Han Fu said again: "It's not as good." Then he asked: "Then, how is it better than Yuan Shao in terms of extending kindness throughout the world and benefiting the people of the world?" Han Fu shook his head: "It's still better." ”

After asking a few questions, Xun Chen said: "Gongsun Zhan led the Yan and Dai armies, and they drove to the front. Yuan Benchu is a contemporary hero, wise and brave, with many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and his strength is not under the generals. Jizhou has sufficient food and abundant materials, and if the two heroes join forces to capture it, it will be in danger. Thinking that Yuan Benchu, he was a general's old friend, and he was allied with thieves. For the sake of the general, it is better to ask Yuan Benchu to jointly govern Jizhou, and he will definitely treat the general well. In this way, the general not only has the name of virtue and virtue, but also can make Gongsun Chan look away, and the general can be as safe as Mount Tai! I hope the general will not hesitate. ”

Ji Governor Shi Gengwu, Don't Drive Min Chun, and Li Li Li in Zhizhong dissuaded, but Han Fu did not listen; Zhao Fu and Cheng Huan asked to send troops to resist the enemy, but Han Fu refused, and then abdicated Zhao Zhong's hometown and sent his son to hand over the Jizhou seal ribbon to Liyang to Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's subordinate Zhu Han, who was once coldly treated by Han Fu, has always been angry, and sent troops to surround Han Fu's residence under the pretext of sending troops to surround Han Fu's residence, holding a sharp blade, and breaking in.

Han Fu fled upstairs, and Zhu Han grabbed his son and broke his legs. Han Fu was ashamed of not listening to advice, "leading the wolf into the flock", and was deeply stimulated, so he abandoned his family and left Jizhou alone to go to Chen Liu to join Zhang Miao.

One day, at Zhang Miao's mansion, Han Fu saw that Yuan Shao had sent a messenger to whisper to Zhang Miao. Han Fu was suspicious and had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming, so he committed suicide with a scraping knife under the pretext of going to the toilet.

It is said that Yuan Shao won Jizhou, led the Jizhou pastor, and when he heard that he was frustrated and talented, he was summoned to the government and took charge of state affairs with Tian Feng, Xu You, and Feng Ji.

Frustrated, a native of Guangping, Jizhou, "few ambitions, more power and strategy", raised Maocai, and served as a county commander twice, and later when Han Fu was not driving, and was listed by Han Fu as a cavalry captain.

Han Fu wanted Jizhou to give Yuan Shao, but he was dissuaded: "Although Jizhou is small and Han Fu, there are still more than one million people who can wear armor and go into battle, and the grain can support it for ten years." Yuan Shao is an outsider, and when the army is in poverty, he snorts at me, like a baby in the palm of an adult, and if he does not feed, he can starve to death immediately. Why did you give Jizhou to its people? ”

Han Fu did not listen to dissuasion. Frustrated, he went out and sighed: "Jizhou has changed hands!" "Leave Han Fu.

In the first year of the first peace, Yuan Shao was elected as the leader of the alliance to fight the thief, and his own word was the beginning, thinking that the word and the year name were compatible, and he would definitely be able to overcome the chaos and lead the world. The Yuan family has been favored for generations and is determined to do everything in their power to restore the Han dynasty. However, Duke Qi Huan could not become an overlord without Guan Zhong, and Gou Jian could not keep the Yue Kingdom without Fan Li. I want to work together with Qing to work together to ensure social security, I don't know what the best plan is? ”

He flattered Yuan Shao in person, and then planned a strategic plan for Yuan Shao to conquer the rest and lead the Hebei region: "The general entered the court at a young age, and became famous at home." When it is abolished, it can carry forward loyalty; rode out alone, which frightened Dong Zhuo; If you cross the river to the north, you will obey the Bohai Sea; With the pawn of a county, and gather the people of Jizhou, the prestige crosses the river, and the reputation is more important than the world! Now, if the general can first raise the army to fight in the east, he can set the Qingzhou Yellow Turban; Also begging for Montenegro, Zhang Yan can be eliminated. then returned to the north to march north, Pinggong Sun Zhan; Shock Rong Di and surrender the Huns. Jun can have the land of the four states north of the Yellow River, so he can collect the talents of heroes, gather millions of troops, welcome the emperor in Xijing, and restore the temple in Luoyang. With this command, who can resist the world's punishment and unobeyed? ”

Yuan Shao heard this and said very happily: "This is exactly what I want!" He was then crowned as a general of Fenwei and made him a guardian of the generals.

Yuan Shao followed the strategy of frustration, relying on the advantages of Jizhou's abundant products, his strength increased, his power grew, and many heroes were attached.

When Dong Zhuo heard that Yuan Shao was becoming more and more powerful in the Kanto region, he remembered the matter of killing Yuan Shao's uncle, the Taifu Yuan Kui clan, and plundering property, so he sent Wu Xu, the master craftsman, to hold the edict to Yuan Shao and explain it.

Hu Muban, Taishan people, the word Jipi, when he was a teenager and Shanyang people Du Xuan, Dongping people Zhang Miao and other eight people, light money to righteousness, relief people, known as "eight kitchens", the late Han Dynasty celebrities.

Hu Muban went to Hanoi and was arrested and imprisoned by Taishou Wang Kuang. Wang Kuang followed Yuan Shao's instructions and wanted to kill Hu Muban to curry favor with Yuan Shao.

Hu Muban was Wang Kuang's brother-in-law, so he wrote a book to Wang Kuang: "Since ancient times, there has been no one below who raised troops to attack Beijing. "Liu Xiangchuan" said that 'the rat is taboo', and the device is still taboo, not to mention that Dong Zhuo is now in the palace and uses the Son of Heaven as a shield. The young master is still in the palace, how can he raise troops to fight? We have all come by decree, how can we be imprisoned without permission? The Kanto counties are too guarded, although they really hate Dong Zhuo, but because the official title is sealed by the imperial court, they dare not be humiliated. And the foot imprisoned me in solitary confinement, provoking and killing, which is even more brutal than that injustice. I have no relatives and no reason with Dong Zhuo, where can I do evil with him? Now I opened the mouth of the tiger and wolf, spit out the venom juice of the long snake, and made the hatred of Dong Zhuo angry with me, how cruel and ruthless! Death is inevitable. But he was very ashamed to be killed by a madman. If there is a spirit after death, I will tell the emperor. I didn't expect that my marriage with Ru Mei would bring about today's disaster. In the past, one family is now a blood feud. I, the dying man, had two children, my nephew. After I die, I hope that my uncle will never ask your nephew to come to the remains of my bones! ”

After Wang Kuang saw the book, he hugged the two children in Hu's mother's class and cried. "Sou Shen Ji" has the myths and legends of Hu Muban who died in prison and once saw Taishan Fujun and Hebo, which is poignant and moving.

Besides, Gongsun Zhan, whose name is Bo Jue, a native of Lingzhi (now Qian'an, Hebei) in western Liaoxi, was quite appreciated by Taishou because of his beauty, loud voice and intelligence, and married his daughter to his wife. With the help of his father-in-law, Gongsun Zhan once studied with Liu Bei under Lu Zhi of Zhuo County, and later served as the imperial chariot under Liu Qi, the Taishou Emperor. When Liu Qi was sent to Rinan, he disguised himself as a soldier and escorted him along the way, and Liu Qi was pardoned and returned on the way. After Gongsun Zhan returned, he was promoted to filial piety and honesty because of his virtue, and he was appointed as the governor of Liaodong.

Once, Gongsun Zhan led dozens of cavalry out to patrol the Guansai, and when he saw hundreds of Xianbei cavalry, he retreated to the empty pavilion and said to the accompanying sergeants: "If you don't take the initiative to attack, you will definitely be killed." So he led the team into the Xianbei team with a spear in hand, killing and wounding dozens of people, although he survived death, he lost more than half. The Xianbei people took this as a warning, and they no longer dared to easily cross the pass, and Gongsun Zan was promoted to the county magistrate of Zhuoxian County.

Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled, and the imperial court requisitioned 3,000 elite cavalry from Youzhou to give Gongsun Zan the governor of the capital and let him lead. When Gongsun Zhan led his army to Jizhong, Zhang Chun, a native of Yuyang (now southwest of Miyun), lured Qiu Liju, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, to rebel and captured Youbeiping County (now southeast of Fengrun, Hebei) and the vassal state of Liaoxi County. Gongsun Zhan pursued Zhang Chun and other traitors with 3,000 cavalry, made military exploits, and was promoted to cavalry captain. The leader of the subject country Wuhuan led the people to surrender to Gongsun Zhan, and was promoted to the general of Zhonglang, named the Marquis of Duting, stationed in the subject country, and in the next five or six years, he fought constantly with the northern nomads.

In the fifth year of Zhongping (188), Gongsun Zhan fought with Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju in Shimen, a subordinate state of Liaodong, and Zhang Chun and others were defeated, leaving their wives and children and fleeing into Xianbei.

Gongsun Zhan continued to pursue, but because it was too deep, he was besieged by Qiu Liju in Guanzi City in Liaoxi for more than 200 days, and the soldiers were defeated when the grain was exhausted, and most of the soldiers were killed and wounded. Qiu Liju's army was also exhausted and left Liucheng. The imperial court paid homage to Gongsun Zan as the captain of the captive school, the marquis of the capital pavilion, and the governor of the country.

Gongsun Chan then commanded the soldiers and horses to guard the border. Every time he heard that the enemy was coming, he immediately made a loud noise, and when he fought, he fought as if he were fighting his own enemy, even until late at night. From then on, Wuhuan was afraid of Gongsun Zhan's bravery and did not dare to attack again. Gongsun Chan often rides white horses with dozens of people around him who are good at riding and shooting, and they are the left and right wings of each other, and they call themselves "White Horse Righteous Servants".

The imperial court sent Zongzheng Liu Yu to serve as the pastor of Youzhou. After Liu Yu arrived, he sent envoys to the nomads to learn about the benefits and ordered them to sacrifice Zhang Chun's head. When Qiu Liju and others heard that Liu Yu had arrived, they sent envoys to communicate about the annexation.

Gongsun Zhan was worried about Liu Yu's meritorious service, so he secretly sent people to assassinate these envoys on the way. When the nomads understood this, they made a detour to Liu Yu. Liu Yu reported to the imperial court to withdraw the garrison army, leaving only Gongsun Zhan with more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry stationed in Youbeiping.

In March of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Zhang Chun was killed by his disciple Wang Zheng and gave his head to Liu Yu. Liu Yu was awarded the post of Taiwei for his meritorious service in pacifying the nomads, and was named the Marquis of Xiangben. Soon, Liu Yu was moved to the Great Sima, and Gongsun Zhan was the general of Fenwu and was named the Marquis of Ji.

Gongsun Zan was called by Cao Cao to form an alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo, the alliance was disbanded, and he returned with his troops, and saw Yuan Shao's secret book of "capturing Jizhou and dividing the land equally", and was about to raise troops, but suddenly heard that Yuan Shao had occupied Jizhou, so he sent his younger brother Gongsun Yue to see Yuan Shao and wanted to divide his land.

Yuan Shao asked Gongsun Chan to go to discuss in person. On the way back, Gongsun Yue was shot to death by an army that claimed to be "Prime Minister Dong Cheng's general". Gongsun Zhan was furious, and he used all his troops and horses to kill Jizhou.

When Yuan Shao heard the news, he led the army out and came to the east of the Panhe Bridge, and saw that Gongsun Zan had already moved west of the bridge. Words do not speculate, the two armies clash. The battle of Panhe was uncertain, ups and downs, ever-changing, and unpredictable.

First of all, Gongsun Chan and Wen Chou clashed, Gongsun Chan was defeated and left, and the four generals of his subordinates came out together, and one was assassinated by Wen Chou, and the rest retreated, and Wen Chou chased after him.

Gongsun Zhan's bow and arrows fell, his helmet fell to the ground, and when he crossed a hill with his hair, the horse lost its front hooves and turned over and fell off the horse. Wen Chou hurriedly twisted the gun and stabbed it directly.

At the last moment, I suddenly saw a young general eight feet long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a broad face and a heavy face, and a majestic young general, Pegasus, rushed over with a gun. The two fought for more than 50 years, and the salvation army arrived, and they all covered up and killed together, and Wen Chou was defeated.

Gongsun Chan walked down the hillside and asked the boy for his name. The young man rolled the saddle and dismounted, clasped his fists with both hands, and bowed down to answer: "A certain is Changshan Zhendingren's name, surnamed Zhao Mingyun, and the word Zilong, unexpectedly met here." ”

Gongsun Chan was overjoyed, so he led him back to the village and rectified the armor soldiers.

The next day, the battle was repeated, but in the ambush, the pioneer Yan Gang was beheaded, the flag bearer was beheaded, the embroidered flag was cut to the ground, and Gongsun Zan was defeated and walked under the bridge. Zhao Yun arrived, jumped on the horse with a gun, stabbed the enemy general with one shot, and broke into the enemy army alone, rushing left and right to kill, as if entering a no-man's land. Gongsun Zhan led the army back again, and the enemy army was defeated.

Yuan Shao desperately called for the battle, and Wen Chou and Yan Liang led the army over to besiege and fight. Zhao Yun protected Gongsun Zan to fight his way out of the siege and led his troops to retreat.

At this time, Liu Xuande, Guan Yunchang, and Zhang Yide led a group of military horses to help in the battle. Three horses and three weapons galloped forward and took Yuan Shao directly. Yuan Shao was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, his hands trembled, the knife fell off his horse, and he hurriedly turned his horse and fled. The generals came, and they were saved from the dead, and they returned defeated. Exactly: the Panhe clash is a righteous battle, and victory and defeat are repeated in an instant. If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
