Yuan Shao: I didn't expect that Wu Kuang actually helped Dong Zhuo and surrendered the general's old troops. All our work was in vain.
Wang Kuang: Dong Zhuo leads a strong army and has evil plans. If you don't plan early, you will inevitably be controlled by others.
Yuan Shao: The soldiers and horses of Xiliang are extremely brave. With our military strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it.
Zhang Miao: We should take advantage of the fact that he has just arrived and the troops and horses are very tired, so we can launch an attack and capture Dong Zhuo alive!
Yuan Shao: Well, let's wait. We have just recruited some of the Xiyuan soldiers and their morale is not yet stable.
At this time, Yuan Shao's troops and horses were indeed not enough to fight against Dong Zhuo. This is a theoretical speculation.
Everything has risks, and risks and returns are directly proportional. If you don't take risks, you are destined to fail.
From the standpoint of the country, he should take the risk, but from the standpoint of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao was indeed not allowed to make any mistakes.
Because he is the head of the Yuan family.

During this period, Yuan Xi was not idle either. He met Zhang Liao in the Bingzhou Army, who was under Ding Yuan's command. After Zhang Liao returned from recruiting troops in Hebei, they met when he went to Xiyuan to pay Yuan Shao a mission. .
However, not everyone gave Yuan Xi face at this time, so Yuan Xi could only introduce Zhang Liao to Yuan Shao, which was regarded as wooing him in advance, but Zhang Liao rejected the Yuan family's kindness.
At this time, the heroes in the world recognized the Yuan family and Yuan Shao, not Yuan Xi, the second son of the Yuan family.
No matter how much potential he has.

Ten days later, Dong Zhuo's 100,000 Xiliang cavalry finally arrived in the suburbs of Luoyang. Dong Zhuo ordered 30,000 flying bear troops to garrison in the city.
The rest of the army was camped outside the city, giving Dong Zhuo an even greater advantage.
He led his cavalry in and out of Luoyang City every day, roaming the streets and markets, declaring his strength to intimidate his opponents and making the people panic. Moreover, the expanded Dong Zhuo also began to enter and leave the palace, even more unscrupulously.
It's a pity. If Dong Zhuo could restrain his ambition, stay humble and cautious, he might become the second Huo Guang.
Unfortunately, there is no if in history.
In 191, something happened that history has ignored.
When Sun Jian went to attack Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao instead sent Zhou Ang as the governor of Yuzhou to lead the troops to attack Yangcheng, which had been the seat of Sun Jian's governor of Yuzhou, because Sun Jian had defected to Yuan Shu.
When Sun Jian heard this news, he was very emotional: "We are raising volunteers together to save the country and the country. Now that the rebels are about to be wiped out, but there is such a fight among the people, who can I work with to work together to save the day?" After saying this, , looking up to the sky and sighing, tears falling like rain.
When things came to this, Sun Jian had no choice but to return to Luyang and attack Zhou Ang and Cao Cao's military advisor Zhou Zhe. Zhou Ang and others were defeated and fled.
Conflict was the cause of this incident, and the Yuxi incident was the fundamental factor in Yuan Shao's death.
And Cao Cao also played a role in it, because Cao Cao was affiliated with Yuan Shao's force, and Sun Jian was affiliated with Yuan Shu's force.
In the second year of Chuping (191), the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, consisting of 300,000 men, arrived at Bohai County, Yuan Shao's hometown, preparing to join up with another peasant army, the Black Mountain Army. Yuan Shao originally thought that Gongsun Zan and Gongsun Du would raid his lair. I didn’t expect that it would be the first time I was fucked by the Yellow Turban Army.
Gongsun Zan seized the opportunity and used the crusade against the Yellow Turbans as an excuse to lead 20,000 troops from their base in Youzhou to attack the Yellow Turbans. The two armies fought fiercely in Dongguang, and Yuan Shao had no reason to stop them.
In this battle, Gongsun Zan defeated the Yellow Turbans and beheaded more than 30,000 people. The Yellow Turban Army was defeated, so they abandoned their baggage and crossed the Yellow River south.
Gongsun Zan set up an ambush by the Yellow River and suddenly attacked when the Yellow Turbans were halfway across the river. Tens of thousands of the Yellow Turbans died and blood flowed into the river. Gongsun Zan captured more than 70,000 Yellow Turbans and countless chariots, armor and property.
This battle really shocked the Yuan Shao Group.
In the imperial court, Dong Zhuo also started a strategy to divide the princes. Under Li Ru's suggestion, he worshiped Gongsun Zan as General Fenwu and granted him the title of Jihou, which basically created a rival for Yuan Shao.
Dong Zhuo wanted to reward Gongsun Zan for both public and private purposes. This was a conspiracy. Yuan Shaoming knew it but could do nothing about it.
