In the fifth year of Jian 'an (200 years), Yuan Shao's decision to take the initiative to launch a full-scale bloody battle with Cao Cao was basically unified. There are some contradictions in this matter, and local factions represented by Tian Feng and Giants expressed firm opposition, and the contradictions were once made public.
Tian Feng's resolute opposition is resolute. Lombardi put Tian Feng in prison in a rage, and he no longer trusted JuShou as before. Ju Shou was appointed as an army supervisor in the name of Wei Fen, a general under Yuan Shao, with great power. At the suggestion of Guo Tu and others, Yuan Shao divided the power of Jushou Military Supervisor into three parts, which were appointed by Jushou, Guo Tu and veteran Chunyu Qiong. The Biography of Xian Di said that before Yuan Shao's departure, Ju Shou gathered his people together and divided the family's property, saying to them, "If the situation exists, you will be threatened. If the situation does not exist, you will not be able to protect your whole body. Pathetic! "
One of his brothers said, "How can Cao be an opponent? Why are you worried? " Ju Shou said, "With Cao Cao's wise strategy and the emperor as the backbone, Gongsun Zan has just been defeated. The soldiers were exhausted and the coach was arrogant. Success and failure have long been obvious. "
Second, send Yan Liang to attack the white horse.
Yuan Shao relied heavily on Ju Shou before, and basically obeyed, but this time he refused to accept Ju Shou's proposal, which was roughly related to Ju Shou's firm opposition to sending troops and spreading the "failure theory" everywhere, but it turned out that Ju Shou was accurate. In April, Yan Liang led an army across the Yellow River, taking the white horse straight. Cao Cao personally went north to solve the siege of the white horse, and war broke out with each other. Yuan Jun suffered a crushing defeat, and Yan Liang chickened out and was killed by Guan Yunchang.
Third, I am eager to seek revenge from Cao Cao.
Cao Cao decided that Yuan Shao would command the main attack on Baima. He ordered all the white horse soldiers and civilians to retreat with the army and March in the direction of Yanjin. Wen Chou led the army in pursuit and was finally defeated by Cao Cao in Yanjin. Wen Chou "sacrificed for his country" again.
