In 189 AD, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty passed away, and the general situation was turbulent. During the lifetime of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, his relatives and eunuchs fought openly and secretly, and the contradiction between He Jin and the eunuchs intensified. He Jin was killed, and the eunuch's vitality was greatly damaged. Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to grasp the power of the imperial court, deposed the young emperor Liu Wei, and established Liu Xie as the emperor. Although Dong Zhuo held the emperor hostage, he was not recognized by the princes of the world. In 190 AD, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and he moved the capital to Chang'an. In 192 AD, Lü Bu and Wang Yun got rid of Dong Zhuo.
But the good times didn't last long, and after Dong Zhuo was killed, the generals came to prominence. Under the guidance of the strategist Jia Xu, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others drove away Lu Bu, killed Wang Yun, and continued to hold Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty hostage. However, Li Dao and Guo Yan fought infighting, giving Emperor Xian a chance to escape. In October 195 AD, Emperor Xian fled to Hedong County, and Li Dao and others were in hot pursuit. Frustrated with the suggestion that Yuan Shao snatch the emperor, but Yuan Shao gave up, laying the groundwork for Cao Cao to gain the advantage of the princes by coercing the Son of Heaven.
Three mysteries] Why Yuan Shao gave up welcoming the emperor, the reason is confusing!
One.
Cao Cao seized the opportunity of Yuan Shao's abandonment and personally transferred Emperor Xian to Xudu a year later. Liu Xie became a pawn controlled by Cao Cao and a weapon for Cao Cao to gather talents. In Yuan Shao's view, the dedication of the emperor is not an asset but a liability, and giving it to others is out of a scheming scheme. Guo Tu and other strategists resolutely opposed the emperor, believing that it was difficult to revive the Han dynasty and might lead to a struggle for hegemony among the princes. Yuan Shao considered the power scheme, and finally chose to obey the strategists and gave up the opportunity to seize the emperor.
Two.
Yuan Shao had the ambition to be the emperor, and his younger brother Yuan Shu was called the emperor, and was attacked by Cao Cao, Lü Bu, Sun Ce and other princes. Yuan Shao gladly accepted Yuan Shu's proposal to abdicate, but it failed to materialize due to Liu Bei's interception. Yuan Shu eventually died of illness, and Yuan Shao's dream of becoming emperor was shattered. Yuan Shao was reluctant to take in Emperor Xian, regarded it as a huge hidden danger, and had long since stopped taking the Han Dynasty to heart. After Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, in the face of the emperor's rebellion, he had to suppress the forces loyal to the Han family.
Three.
Yuan Shao was reluctant to welcome the emperor, and there was another layer of hidden feelings. At that time, Liu Yu was resolutely opposed to becoming the new emperor, and the plans of Yuan Shao and others were therefore abandoned. In the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao was defeated due to a sneak attack on grain and grass. After Yuan Shao's death, his sons fought and were defeated by Cao Cao. Cao Cao used the establishment of Liu Yu as emperor as a lever to attack Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao faced Cao Cao's multiple blows, and finally died of illness in Jian'an seven years ago. Yuan Shao's decision to abandon the Emperor of Dedication eventually became a part of his defeat.
Historical Depth] The mystery of Yuan Shao is revealed, and why Cao Cao's victory came about!
In the second year of Jian'an, Cao Cao sent Kong Rong to envoy Yecheng, worshiped Yuan Shao as a general, and gave him bows and arrows, runes, axes and iron, and a hundred tigers, and was in charge of four states. In the fourth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao was destroyed, and Yuan Shao's momentum gradually weakened. In the seventh year of Jian'an, Yuan Shao died of illness, and his son fought and was finally defeated by Cao Cao. Cao Cao used the support of Liu Yu as an attack handle and successfully divided Yuan Shao's forces. Yuan Shao's reluctance to welcome Emperor Xian eventually became Cao Cao's first opportunity to defeat him. In the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao won due to a sneak attack on grain and grass, and finally laid the foundation for Cao Cao's domination of the north. Yuan Shao's wrong decision created an opportunity for Cao Cao to successfully seize the world.
Yuan Shao played an important role on the stage of history, and his decision to abandon the Han Xian Emperor has become a mystery in history. Through an in-depth analysis of Yuan Shao's psychological and historical background, this article reveals the three hidden reasons why Yuan Shao chose to give up. First of all, Yuan Shao weighed the pros and cons of welcoming Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and considering the recognition of the princes of the world and the stability of his own power, he finally chose to follow the advice of his advisors and gave up this opportunity. The thought process behind this decision shows Yuan Shao's side as a cautious military general.
Secondly, Yuan Shao's ambition to become emperor made his attitude towards Emperor Xian of Han more cautious. Not only did he give up the opportunity for Yuan Shu to give him the title of emperor, but because Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to intercept him, he ultimately failed to join Yuan Shu. Yuan Shao's faith in the Han Dynasty had weakened, and he regarded Emperor Xian as a liability rather than an asset. In the long course of history, this view may be understood as Yuan Shao's short-sightedness and failure to see the value of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty as a key pawn in the unification of the north.
The third secret arose in the process of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo's struggle for power in the imperial court. After Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian planned a counterattack, resulting in Cao Cao having to suppress the forces loyal to the Han family, but he could not directly kill Emperor Xian. This made Yuan Shao have more profound doubts about welcoming Emperor Xian, and he was worried that once he left Emperor Xian, he might face similar problems, which led him to finally choose to give up.
By analyzing the hidden circumstances at these three levels, the article profoundly depicts Yuan Shao's political considerations and psychological conditions at that time. Yuan Shao's decision-making was influenced not only by the advice of the advisers around him, but also by many factors, such as personal ambition, caution about power, and reflection on historical experience. At the same time, the mention of the battle of Guandu in the article shows the serious consequences of Yuan Shao's missteps on his eventual political fate. This gives the reader a deeper understanding of this short but intense period in history.
Overall, this article is both a review of historical events and an in-depth analysis of Yuan Shao's character. Through the analysis of historical details, readers have a clearer understanding of the political situation at that time, and the decisions and choices of historical figures are also more profound. Yuan Shao's decision to give up the service to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty ultimately led to his personal and powerful defeat, and also left a node in history that cannot be ignored.
