In the troubled times, the brave generals were as bright as the stars, among which there was a chief general under Yuan Shao's account, who was proficient in the Qiang people's tactics, and Ma Chao once called him a senior. This eye-catching figure is the famous god of war - Yan Liang. His life, like a flame on the battlefield, has left a rich legend.
Yan Liang became a bright star of that era with his bravery, fearlessness and outstanding achievements. His mastery of the Qiang people's tactics made him like a fish in water on the battlefield, and he repeatedly defeated the enemy army, which is admirable. And the place of the chief general under Yuan Shao's account is the best annotation of his brave achievements. Ma Chao, as the son of the patriarch of the Qiang people, admired Yan Liang even more, calling him a senior, which shows Yan Liang's prestige and prestige in the war.
The thinking triggered by this question is not only a retrospective of Yan Liang's personal heroic deeds, but also a retrospective look back at that war-torn era. Let's follow the footsteps of history, delve into the legendary experience of Yan Liang, the god of war, and appreciate the heroic and heroic era of troubled times.
In the early days of the Three Kingdoms, Gongsun Chan could be said to be a fierce general who was very feared by the Hu people in the north. He is good at using a double-headed iron spear, and he must personally climb first in every battle, and his style is extremely brave and fierce. The "White Horse Righteous Servant" under his command is even more famous and invincible. Baima Yicong was a warrior who rode a white horse and was good at riding and shooting, and with Gongsun Zhan's pro-rate, it could be said that he was a veritable elite and fierce general at that time. Every time Gongsun Zhan goes on an expedition, there are few people in the north who do not avoid it.
However, when Gongsun Chan led Bai Ma Yi from an army of 30,000 to fight against Yuan Shao's Ju Yi, he did not expect to encounter Waterloo at all. This defeat greatly injured Gongsun Zhan's vitality, and he soon fell ill and died. And what directly led to his defeat was the "First Death Soldier" composed of more than 800 people under Ju Yi's command.
Ju Yi was originally a fierce general under Yuan Shao, who was well versed in the tactics of the Hu people and was brave. The first dead soldiers under his command, whether it is riding and archery skills or formation changes, have been trained very well and cooperate tacitly. And Gongsun Zhan originally wanted to rely on the numerical advantage and attack Juyi's camp in one go, but he was stubbornly blocked by the exquisite formation set up by Juyi.
Gongsun Zhan personally led Bai Ma Yi to gallop forward from the side, wanting to directly disrupt the formation of the Ju Yi army. Ju Yi was prepared and ordered all the soldiers to lie down under the shield, which not only helped the whole army avoid the trampling of the White Horse Yicong, but also successfully avoided the first wave of attack. After Bai Ma Yicong passed, Ju Yi immediately ordered the first to raise the crossbow and shoot at the rear.
At this moment, Bai Ma Yicong immediately made a mess, and the people turned on their backs. Gongsun Chan couldn't retreat if he wanted to, so he could only barely support it. Ju Yi took the opportunity to outflank and surround Gongsun Zhan's infantry team. Gongsun Zhan saw that the general trend was gone, so he had to lead the remnants to break through. After this battle, Gongsun Zhan's reputation was gone, and his vitality was difficult to return, and he died of illness soon after.
Judging from this battle, Ju Yi's art of war is really skillful. The first deceased soldier was indeed well-trained and outstanding, and he played an excellent role in this battle, perfectly executing Ju Yi's deployment. It can be said that if it were not for Ju Yi and the dead soldiers under his command, Yuan Shao would not have been able to break the white horse and defeat Gongsun Zhan.
Ju Yi was originally a fierce general under Han Fu, but because he couldn't get used to Han Fu's personality, he led his troops away and switched to Yuan Shao. This made Han Fu furious, so he personally led a large army to chase after him. Unexpectedly, Ju Yi defeated Han Fu's army with only 800 dead soldiers, and directly forced Han Fu to abandon Jizhou. This has to be said to also reflect Ju Yi's ability to lead troops, and Han Fu is simply powerless in front of him.
And Ju Yi let Han Fu appear on the stage, which is really a surprise. Yuan Shao has long coveted Jizhou, and now that the lord of Jizhou has handed it over, isn't it just in his hands? So Yuan Shao was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to take over Han Fu's old ministry and the entire territory of Jizhou.
At this point, Yuan Shao's sphere of influence has grown by leaps and bounds, occupying the four prefectures of Hebei, He, You, and Qing in one fell swoop, and his strength has increased greatly! This is all Ju Yi to turn the tide, if there is no Ju Yi, Yuan Shao is far from being a lord of the four states.
Therefore, it can be said that the importance of Ju Yi to Yuan Shao is no less than that of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and other fierce generals at that time. Without Ju Yi's first deceased soldiers, uniting the military and stabilizing the territory, how could Yuan Shao gain a foothold in the troubled times? However, it is precisely because of Ju Yi's meritorious work that Yuan Shao's backyard **.
Ju Yi's achievements in many wars and the continuous expansion of Yuan Shao's sphere of influence were a great thing. However, Yuan Shao was suspicious here - if Ju Yi rebelled with the help of military exploits, what should I do? Thinking of this, Yuan Shao was worried, worried that Ju Yi would serve the remnants of the disaster. So he made up his mind to get rid of this great trouble.
So, Yuan Shao set up a banquet to summon Ju Yi. Ju Yi didn't know the lord's intentions, and he still didn't get drunk to show his loyalty. After drinking, Yuan Shao suddenly pulled out his knife and stabbed at Ju Yi's vest! This knife and dagger were extremely fast, and Ju Yi was completely defenseless and killed on the spot. After Yuan Shao succeeded, he immediately ordered the killing of Ju Yi's old department, and as a result, all the power accumulated by Ju Yi during his lifetime was wiped out.
This move is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs. Ju Yi was loyal and made great achievements, but he was misunderstood by Yuan Shao and was suspicious in vain. And after Ju Yi's death, even the dead soldiers under his command were all killed. This undoubtedly dealt a great blow to Yuan Shaojun's heart, and many warriors who were originally loyal to Ju Yi had no will to fight after that, and the situation turned downhill.
Therefore, Yuan Shao's move is really stupid and short-sighted. Ju Yi is loyal and credible, with a brilliant record, and he is a rare good general. His life is beneficial to Yuan Shao, and the death of this person is Yuan Shao's biggest loss. It was only because Yuan Shao was so happy and suspicious that he abandoned his weapons and surrendered, and he ended up embattled.
When Ju Yi was alive, he drove straight into the world with the strength of the first to die, and he was invincible. The dead soldiers under his command are all arrows and have excellent equestrian skills. He is known for his flexibility and mobility, and has won the essence of the Hu people's tactics. Even Ma Chao, a famous general in Xiliang, has to call him a senior. It can be seen that Ju Yi was famous at that time, and his strength was unfathomable.
In comparison, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others had almost no achievements in the Three Kingdoms era, and they were purely here to eat. When they want to talk about qualifications, they are far inferior to Juyi; In terms of military talent, it is also difficult to compare with Ju Yi when the mantis arm is a car. Therefore, Ju Yi is a well-deserved number one warrior, and Yan Liangwen is not even as good as his horses.
Such a fierce general, his prestige was resounding in the sky during his lifetime, but he was killed by Yuan Shao himself. This is undoubtedly a big loss for Ma Chao, who has lost his henchmen. If Ju Yi is still there, Ma Chaodong's expedition will be invincible. **Will you still lose the battle in Tongguan and be captured alive by Cao Cao?
Therefore, Ju Yi's death not only damaged Yuan Shao, but also indirectly weakened the strength of Ma Chao's Eastern Crusade. This is the evil result of the foolish lord killing the hero, harming others and himself, which is painful!
As the leading general under Yuan Shao, Ju Yi has made many achievements and made many miraculous achievements. He successively defeated Han Fu and Gongsun Zhan, two major rivals, which greatly increased Yuan Shao's range of power and his strength was unprecedentedly strong. Even Ma Chao, a famous general in Xiliang, has to sigh to himself.
However, fate made people, and when he was in the limelight, Ju Yi was killed by Yuan Shao because of his suspicion. The elite soldiers under his command were the first to die, and almost all the troops were wiped out. This undoubtedly brought huge losses to Yuan Shao, and how to deal with Wei when he lost his henchmen?
Therefore, Ju Yi's death is really unjust. He has been born and died for Yuan Shao for many years and has made great contributions. should have soared, at least the official should have worshiped the general, but was killed by a misunderstanding. It is a pity that a truly loyal person is always under the suspicion of the lord!
Ju Yi's life could not escape the fate of decline in the end, but his legendary life of being the first to ascend to the dead and accomplishing miraculous feats is still sought after. We were born in troubled times, and we should learn from them!
