A chapter on the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty
Historically, Yuan Shao's subordinates were full of talents, his son Yuan Tan (independently seized Qingzhou, very good, Sun Ce failed to capture Yangzhou completely), Yuan Shang (selfishness was too heavy, Yuan Shao fought for the throne after his death, and Yuan's career was defeated in the hands of this person), and his son-in-law Gao Gan (who governed the state very well) are all talents who are in charge of their own affairs;
The defeat of the battle of Guandu, not Yuan Shao's military ability, but Xu You's betrayal, in the early stage of the battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao beat Cao Cao very embarrassed, it can be said that Yuan Shao's victory is just around the corner, the paradox of history is that everything has an accident, Xu You's sudden betrayal caused Yuan Shao's weakest point to be caught by Cao Cao; the most regrettable thing is that even if the battle of Guandu failed, Yuan Shao's strength still exceeds Cao Cao, Cao Cao and the original dare and ability to go north to destroy Yuan, but unfortunately Yuan Shao's own health is not good, only two years after the battle of Guandu died, and then everyone knows that Yuan Shao divided his son and son-in-law to govern the four states, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang competed for the throne, and fought happilyAfter that, Cao Cao picked up a hot soup cake with his cold hand, Bian Zhuang stabbed the tiger, and won!
Xu You turned out to be Cao Cao's friend, history can't be tested, the ancients wrote history very briefly, we can't know whether this person was in collusion with Cao Cao early on, or whether he failed in the political struggle under Yuan Shao and ran away, or was bought out of greed for money at all.

Yuan Xi is a very humorous and free and easy person, he is the history of Youzhou Thorn, does not participate in the pre-contest, and later took in the defeated Yuan Shang, after the betrayal of the general, he and Yuan Shang defected to Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Kang, Gongsun Kang grabbed this buddy to kill the head, the ground is cold in winter, Yuan Shang is cold, and said to Gongsun Kang, you are going to kill me, before you die, can you make a mat under your buttocks, the ground is too cold. Yuan Xi came to the side with a sentence: "The head travels thousands of miles, what is Xi's doing!" It means that the head is going to be sent thousands of miles away, what else do you need to do with the mat!
Having said that, the battle for the first position in ancient times has always been bloody, and Yuan Shao didn't handle it well
In fact, Cao Cao's son also competed, but Cao Pi's political ability was far stronger than Yuan Tan's, and he was the eldest son, so he himself subdued Cao Zhi and Cao Zhang.
If Yuan Shao is not partial, he will set up Yuan Tan early in the morning, and it is unknown who will kill the deer!
When I was writing the final chapter, I arranged for Zhang Yan to burn the autumn grain. This buddy rebelled to be absorbed by Cao Cao, and he was really tenacious.
The cavalry of the Han Dynasty did not have a high bridge saddle and stirrups, so the combat effectiveness was actually not particularly strong, and they could not walk long distances, and the long-distance march was not as good as the infantry, the horses' hooves were easily damaged, and the riding and archery thing was a difficult action, which only a very small number of elites could do.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the golden age of cavalry, the basic equipment was complete, and the Mongolian people were born on horseback
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and the like are not so ambitious, and it is easy to settle down if they lose Liu Bei's backbone. Any political bloc must have a core of sufficient ambitions, without which the political bloc will not go far.
If Sun Ce doesn't die, Jiangdong itself will collapse, he relies on Huaisi heroes, and Jiangdong Shi clan is more of a hostile relationship, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan quickly merged with the local forces, and the war in the north is endless, giving Sun Quan time to integrate Jiangdong, if Sun Ce does not die, the Northern Expedition, there will inevitably be a rebellion in his rear, but this thing, people die and the lights go out, it is not clear.
The number of troops in the work is greatly exaggerated, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao confronted each other in Guandu with only more than 100,000 horses, and the total of the two sides was no more than 250,000, Yuan Shao did not use the same military force as Sun Ce, in today's words, although Yuan Shao went south, but he did not turn into a wartime mechanism, did not really mobilize the strength of the four states of Hebei, otherwise he really had the ability to organize an army of one million.
Zhang Yan's million-strong army and the later 300,000 were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the real combat troops were overestimated by one-tenth.
In history, Gao Gan was defeated at the hands of Ma Teng, Han Sui and Zhong Xuan.
Han Sui rebelled before the Yellow Turban, this guy is fooling around, very ambitious, rebelling from time to time, typical warlord thinking, whoever believes in him will die quickly, so as soon as Cao Cao used a counter-strategy, Ma Chao was fooled, because Han Sui's character was too poor, and in the end, Han Sui was like that, with strong political ability, high emotional intelligence, and low IQ to fight in general
