The Han Dynasty, as a splendid era of the Han nation, once occupied 60% of the land in Asia, its east and west of Korea, Pamir, south to Vietnam, Mongolia, its trade routes even extended to Europe, in more than 400 years, the formation of the symbol of China - Han nationality.
The last years of the Han Dynasty were a seemingly disorderly but orderly change. Although they have different results, they both have a profound impact on their social lives.
The strength of the Western Han Dynasty, the decline and fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the widespread spread of Han surnames constitute a major chapter in the history of the development of the Chinese nation. And in the intervening period of this time, the seeds of reform have quietly sprouted, waiting for the next epoch.
Wang Mang of Han Qi abolished his son at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty, which has the meaning of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, his talents were limited after all, and the new dynasty lasted only fifteen years before being overthrown.
At the end of the new dynasty, Liu Xuan, as a descendant of the Western Han royal family, led his army to occupy Chang'an and founded the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, only two years later, the Eastern Han Dynasty was destroyed by the Red Eyebrow Army.
Liu Xiu, who rebelled at the same time as Liu Xuan, established his own power in Hebei Province and had great ambitions to revive Liu Han. The Eastern Han Dynasty founded by him was greatly developed and made great achievements at that time. Liu Xiu founded the Guangwu Dynasty, and worked together with Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Ming Dynasty and Emperor Liu Wei of the Han Dynasty to create an unprecedented prosperous era.
In the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the autocratic power of the harem, the internal struggle of the imperial family was fierce, and the young emperor needed to rely on the power of the eunuchs to maintain his dominance, and with the development of the times, their power became stronger and stronger, and finally evolved into a conflict with the imperial family.
Since then, the Eastern Han Dynasty regime has changed from prosperity to decline, the government is corrupt, the people are not happy, and finally in 184 A.D., there is a rumor among the people that "the sky is dead, and the yellow sky will rise".
In order to quell the "Yellow Turban Rebellion", the imperial court ordered all localities to organize their own armies and improve the combat effectiveness of the army to fight against the rebel army.
Although the Yellow Turban Rebellion had been put down, the large army that had gathered a large number of troops in various places was also a new test. From then on, the princes were divided, the princes were divided, and the historical disputes before the Three Kingdoms began.
In the dispute between Liu Xuan and Liu Xiu, the princes of various places were divided, and a force with the Han family as the banner also emerged. The Yuan clan of Runan took over the reform of the imperial government, and the military strength of various places increased greatly, while the center of the Eastern Han Dynasty has become an empty shell, and an undercurrent is brewing in all aspects, and all forces want to enter here, but no one wants to be this bird, they are all secretly competing, waiting for the right opportunity.
With Dong Zhuo in power, Emperor Liu Xie was reduced to a puppet, and the other vassal states also got a golden opportunity to send troops to attack the imperial court in the name of Dong Zhuo.
Among the eighteen princes, the first to carry the banner of Chinese characters were two nobles of the Yuan clan in Runan, one was Yuan Shu of Henan and the other was two Yuan Shao of Shaanxi. The Runan Yuan clan was a wealthy family in the Eastern Han Dynasty, holding important positions in the imperial court for generations, and they tried to hold high the "orthodox flag", but they never realized the new Han Dynasty initiated by Liu Xiu.
Yuan Shao, the first person in Kanto, the most powerful, and the main force against Dong Zhuo, had a good future, but in the battle of Guandu, his future was gloomy, his future was gloomy, and he finally died in Jizhou.
Compared with Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu was a little overshadowed. Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao are half-brothers, originally a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and after Dong Zhuo ascended the throne, he was appointed as a "later general".
However, Yuan Shu knew that the situation was forced and was worried that defecting to Dong Zhuo would bring ruin to the rebels, so he fled to Nanyang and became a county guard. Compared with the glory of his cousin Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu had no choice but to retreat in Nanyang, claiming to eliminate Dong Zhuo on the one hand, and opposing Yuan Shao on the other.
In 190 AD, with the help of Zhou Yu, Sun Ce exchanged the "Seal of the Country" for a general in his family, thus establishing his own power in Jiangdong. However, Yuan Shu was tempted by the seal of the country, but he agreed to change soldiers for the people at the expense of the country.
Yuan Shu obtained the jade seal of the country, and declared that he was the real descendant of the Han family. However, in this case, whether it is the heirloom jade seal or the orthodox, it is worthless, and only those with heavy troops can influence the situation.
After Yuan Shu ascended the throne, no one recognized his status as an emperor, and because of the jade seal of the country, he lost four fierce generals, which became a joke in the whole world. Later, Yuan Shu was in a wasted government, and the people were struggling to make a living, and he was finally defeated by Cao Cao in 199 and died of a mouthful of old blood.
Yuan Shu, the famous "fiery eye" of the Three Kingdoms, throughout history, the two people who have the best relationship with him, if it weren't for his mouse-eyed and mediocre eyes, if it weren't for his rat-eyed eyes, there would be no Shu Han, and there would be no Eastern Wu.
Liu Ye, the genius of Runan, although he is not famous among the military advisors of the Three Kingdoms, his strategies and strategies are famous. However, because Yuan Shu was a royal family, Yuan Shu turned a blind eye and let Liu Ye take refuge in Cao Wei.
In 215 AD, Liu Bei entered Xichuan, and Liu Ye immediately proposed to Cao Cao to enter Xichuan to eliminate Liu Bei, but Cao Cao did not listen.
Xichuan is located at a strategic point, with frequent wars and chaos, and the people are struggling to make a living. After Liu Bei entered Hanzhong, although there were many traitors and appeased people's hearts, the disasters brought about by the war also gave people a great psychological shadow.
Although Liu Beijun complied with the mandate of heaven and revived the Han Dynasty, if he took advantage of the danger of others, even if Liu Bei could defend it, I am afraid it would have a great impact on his future country.
Liu Ye is in the game, but he can see it very clearly, which shows his strength.
Zhou Yu is Sun Ce's right-hand man in the fight for hegemony in Jiangdong, and the two fought side by side, won many battles, and their relationship became increasingly close. However, Yuan Shu was in a daze, turning a blind eye to the merits of the Zhou family, and instead replaced his cousin.
In this regard, Zhou Yu felt very disappointed, because he knew that it was impossible to carry out his grand cause if he stayed in Yuan Shu's hands. Therefore, he had the opportunity to return to Jiangdong and join forces with Sun Ce again to lay down the Dongwu River.
If Zhou Yu had not been an enemy of Cao Wei, perhaps the outcome of the Battle of Chibi would have been completely different, and the situation of the Three Kingdoms for hegemony might not have come. If it weren't for Zhou Yu exerting pressure on Shu Han, Liu Bei might not have fallen into the predicament of "Wu and Wei attacking Shu", but could have gotten more development in Hanzhong.
Therefore, some people jokingly call Yuan Shu's pair"Sharp-eyed", it really made Uncle Liu Huang miserable. As soon as Yuan Shu died, the Runan Yuan clan was wiped out, and the foundation of the Han Dynasty that lasted for more than 400 years came to an end, and the Eastern Han Dynasty founded by Liu Xiu could no longer be repeated in the hands of the Runan Yuan clan, and the Three Kingdoms really came to the end of history.
Yuan Shu's life can be described as twists and turns, neither loyal nor traitorous, and finally missed a good opportunity to compete with the heroes, and his absurd behavior made countless viewers laugh.
However, there must be advantages and disadvantages in everything, and although Yuan Shu's talent is ignored by the world, he has an important role in the establishment and development of the Three Kingdoms in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
A group of outstanding talents such as Liu Ye and Zhou Yu have formed an indissoluble bond with him. If Yuan Shu could be a little smarter, maybe the history of the Three Kingdoms would be completely different.
