"The History of the Three Kingdoms" records that "the Han dynasty was unfortunate, and the imperial system was out of control. The thief minister Dong Zhuo took advantage of the chaos to harm the supreme, abuse the people, fear the loss of the country, and cover the world. Yanzhou Cishi Dai, Yuzhou Cishi Fu, Taishouying, Taishoufu, Guangling Taishouchao, etc. , Kuang just soldiers, went to the national disaster. Where our alliance, make concerted efforts, make the day of envoys, lose Yuan first, there will be no second thoughts.
With this alliance, you are dead, and you have nothing left. After the death of the emperor, the ancestors were wise and learned! "This article was cited as a campaign against Dong Zhuo by various themes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the History of the Three Kingdoms, and it was written by this person. At that time, Shandong governors formed an alliance in Zizyphus jujuba and took an oath at the altar. They didn't dare to speak first, so the governors unanimously recommended Juck Zhang's Gongsun Cao. After Cang Hong came to power, he said this campaign for Dong Zhuo, which has been circulated for thousands of years. At that time, all the soldiers at the altar wanted to talk about it.
Cang Hong resigned from the county magistrate in his early years and returned to his hometown in Guangling. Zhang, the local satrap, appreciated it and went to make friends with him. After communication, Juck Zhang found that he was a super-dry and super-talented person, so he was chosen as the hero Cao. Later, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, he advised Juck Zhang to advocate militia. Juck Zhang and his younger brother, Zhang Miao, the satrap, and Cao Cao, who had just fled back, jointly issued a crusade statement, and the ministers were in an uproar.
After the failure of Dong Zhuo's crusade against Dong, he moved to Chang 'an, and Zhang Qian sent him to consult the Han clan, who was famous in the northern part of Youzhou at that time. When he arrived in Jizhou, Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shao, the secretariat of Jizhou, was an old friend of Cang Hong. After some conversation, Yuan Shao thought he couldn't lose such talents, so he appointed Cang Hong to govern Qingzhou. Cang Hong performed well in Qingzhou, and Yuan Shaosheng appointed him as the prefect of Yanzhou East County. At that time, the capital of Yanzhou East County was Cao Cao's territory in Puyang, and Cang Hong built its capital in Dongwuyang to fight against Cao Cao. This is a nail arranged by Yuan Shao behind Cao Cao. Cang Hong's performance in Dongwuyang can be said to be very good, and there are no more thieves. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the state treasury is abundant. Cang Hong also has a high reputation in people's hearts. This has also become the capital that Cang Hong can stick to for many years under the attack of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.
Zhang was besieged and asked Yuan Shao to send troops to help. Yuan Shao refused, and Cang Hong broke with him.
Things should start with Lu Bu leaving Yuan Shao. After Lu Bu left Yuan Shao, he came to Liu Chen to see Zhang Miao. Chen Gong and others advised Zhang Miao to meet Lu Bu and drive Cao Cao away. At that time, Cao Cao led an army to invade Xuzhou to avenge his father, and Yanzhou was empty. Zhang Miao also had the idea of self-reliance, so he agreed to Chen Gong's plan, and the cleaning of Cao Cao's forces began. Cheng Yu tried his best to preserve it, leaving only three counties and Cao Jun, and fled to Xuzhou, attached to Liu Bei, and Zhang stayed.
Cao Cao led an army surrounded, and Juck Zhang felt hopeless. The only hope is Cang Hong. At that time, everyone thought that Cang Hong would not send troops, that Yuan Shao would not offend Cao for Juck Zhang, and that Cang Hong would not give up his present fame because of Juck Zhang. "The History of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Wei Zang Hongchuan" records that Zhu Kezhang's original painting "Ziyuan, a righteous man in the world, will never recite himself for fear of being banned." "(Zi Yuan is Cang Hong's word) Zhang Chaotai know Cang Hong, can be said to be a sincere intersection.
Got the news that Juck Zhang was attacked. He shouted barefoot and immediately led a great army to rescue Juck Zhang. At the same time, Yuan Shao was asked to send troops. Yuan Chao refused to Cang Hong, and Zang Hongbing could not enter. In the end, it was breached by Cao Cao, and Juck Zhang's family was slaughtered by Cao Cao. Cao Cao trusts the Zhang brothers very much. When Dong Zhuo was attacked, Yuan Shao became more and more arrogant as an ally. Zhang Miao often scolded him, and Yuan Shao was very angry. Cao Cao not only refused to listen to Yuan Shao, but also blamed Zhang Miao on him. Cao Cao marched to Xuzhou and told his family that if I died, you would be attached to the Zhang brothers. Cao Cao hated their brother's betrayal in his heart. It is of course very serious and reasonable to take revenge when they are caught.
Knowing that Zhang was exterminated, Cang Hong was heartbroken and cut off all contact with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao flew into a rage and sent an army to surround Dongwuyang. And let Cao Cao send troops, Cao Cao is much smarter than Yuan Shao, and it is too late for Zanghong to retaliate against me. Now you two are killing each other, and Cao Cao just took advantage of the fishermen. So he sent his troops out and turned back. Yuan Shao's army attacked Dongwuyang for more than a year and never came down. Encouraged by Cang Hong's loyalty, the people in the city are willing to die with him. Later, Yuan Shaogu sent troops to attack Dongwuyang, and finally the city broke Cang Hong and was arrested.
The reflection of Shu Wei Zang Hongchuan records that "the city is trapped, and fewer people are born to control water. Shao Su kissed the flood and put on the curtain. When the Congress saw the flood, they said, "Cang Hong, why are you so negative? Did you take it today? " According to "Land Hongming", "Yuan, four generations and five people are all in debt. Nowadays, the royal family is weak and has no intention to raise its wings. It wants to see the international community, I hope not. It wants to kill many loyal ministers and set up traitors. When Hong's relatives regard Zhang Chen as their brother, then Hong Fujun should also be his brother, and work together with * * * to eliminate pesticides for the country. What's the point of holding people hostage and killing people! I'm sorry that I'm not as good as Li Hong, and I can't push Blade to avenge the world. What is obedience? " Yuan Shao was so angry that he killed Cang Hong. At that time, Chen Rong, a native of Cang Hong, pleaded for Cang Hong and was also killed by Yuan Shao. On one occasion, Cang Hong sent two generals to Xuzhou to ask Lu Bu for help. When he came back, he knew that Cang Hong was dead, so he rushed to Yuan Shao's army and died. It can be seen that people around loyal people are also righteous.
When the besieged city of Yuan Jun ran out of food and grass, Cang Hong did something that was despised by later generations. That is, he killed his beloved concubine and gave it to the soldiers. Wang Fuzi, a thinker in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, commented, "I blame Yuan Shaozhi for not saving Juck Zhang, being trapped in an isolated city, killing his beloved concubine and feeding soldiers, trapping him between men and women, and killing seven or eight thousand people. What is this? Zhang Miao's brother Lu Bu took Yanzhou from Cao Cao. At that time, the son of heaven was buried in dust and killed by thieves. He is incompetent to be second only to Yuan and Cao Jun. Hong regards personal kindness as the meaning of a song. He is desperate, and all the teeth of a county have married it. This is almost the so-called harmony! In benevolence and righteousness, the crime of cannibalism cannot be ignored. The initiator of the most inhuman thing in the world is not necessarily unwilling to have a patient heart by virtue. 』
Bian Xiao doesn't think so. Yuan Shao couldn't attack at first, so he asked Chen Lin to write a letter to surrender to Cang Hong. Cang Hong wrote back, "When he was appointed, he claimed that it was really a big event and respected the royal family." . Cang Hong's initial wish was to help the Han Dynasty. Later, warlords scuffled and gradually lost confidence in world affairs, and went north to save him. His heart, like Xu Shu's, is "in Zhang's heart, in Yuan Ying's heart". Besides, Yanzhou is Zhang Miao's younger brother, and Cao Cao is suspected of stealing people. Yuan Shao didn't help Juck Zhang, but he just broke up with him and didn't fight with Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao thinks that Cang Hong betrayed him. However, Juck Zhang is the only master in his heart, and his wish is to help Han. Both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao deviated from the original intention of Ziziphus jujuba.
Zhao Yi, a historian in Qing Dynasty, made the most pertinent comment: "Cang Hong was a righteous man at the end of Han Dynasty. Where he made friends with Juck Zhang and then fought Yuan Shao, there was no sign of Cao Cao. In Wei Ji, there is no need for biographies, but life is secondary to Zhang Miao. Cover it with its integrity, and you can't bear it. 』
