Yuan Shao was born in Ruyang (now runan county). As one of the separatist forces in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jizhou, Youzhou, Bingzhou and Qingzhou were the most prosperous four states in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they became the most powerful governors in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, after the battle of Guandu was defeated by Cao Cao, his strength was greatly damaged and his vitality was greatly damaged. Soon, he was hit hard and hit by the defeat of Cangting, and he died of grief and indignation.

Yuan Shao relied on his huge army and abundant food, and did not listen to Ju's advice. Guo Tu and others said behind his back, "Jushou is in charge of the internal and external forces, which is a great threat to the three armed forces. If his power is gradually strengthened, how can he control it? " ! Shrimp soldiers and crabs will prosper only if they obey their masters, and they will perish if their masters obey them. This is what Huang Shigong warned in the "three views". It is inappropriate for a general to get involved in internal affairs. "So, Yuan Shao divided JuShouJun into three parts, two of which were given to Guo Tu and Chunyu Qiong.

In September, Cao Cao suited himself to guard Guandu and prepared to attack Yuan Jun ... Yuan Shao tried to join forces with Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao to attack Cao Cao. He sent messengers to contact Zhang Xiu in Yacheng, and specially sent a letter to his counselor Jia Xu. Zhang Xiu was about to answer when Jia Xu spoke first. He said, "Please go back and tell Yuan Benchu that brothers are incompatible with water and fire. How can they accommodate the nationals of the world?" The messenger came back discontentedly. Soon, Zhang Xiu led the people to surrender to Cao Cao. Yuan Shao sent someone to ask Liu Biao for help, and Liu Biao hypocritically agreed. In fact, in the war between Yuan and Cao, he just planned to stand by and watch. Zhang and Liu's attitude made Yuan Shao afraid to start work.
