Zang Hong Ziyuan is a native of Guangling Sheyang. His father's name is Zang. He used to be the Xiongnu corps commander and the magistrate of Zhongshan and Taiyuan, and he had a good reputation as an official. Cang Hong, a burly man, was recommended as a Langguan by Xiaolian. At the right time, the third Langguan was elected as the county magistrate, the later official Zhao became the county magistrate of Juxian, Liu You from Donglai became the county magistrate of yi county, and Wang Lang from Donghai became the county magistrate of Qiuxian, and then became the county magistrate of Qiuxian.

In the last years of Emperor Ling (184 ~ 189), he abandoned his official position and returned home. Juck Zhang, the satrap, took him as the hero. Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor and wanted to seize the world. He said to Juck Zhang, "The Ming government has been indebted to the royal family for generations, and several brothers are governors of big counties. Now the royal family is in danger, and the thief and minister are not public. This is a good opportunity for the righteous in the world to serve the royal family! Now your county has not suffered from war, and the officials and people are very rich. If you beat gongs and drums, many people will respond immediately. It is a manifestation of a righteous man to use this army to eliminate rape and harm for the world. " After listening to Zhang, he went to discuss with Zhang about starting an army. Zhang Miao had this idea, so the two armies met in Zizyphus jujuba. Zhang Miao said to Juck Zhang: "I learned that my younger brother made a county order to educate the people to be benevolent, not because I am the master, but because I used it again. Who is Cang Hong? " Juck Zhang said, "It's a miracle at home. His intelligence is extraordinary and I value him very much. " Zhang Miao met with Cang Hong and had a talk with him. He was deeply surprised. He also introduced Yanzhou Liu and Yuzhou Kong and became friends with them. So he set up an altar to make everyone swear to be together forever. The governors of each state give way to each other, and no one will be the first to go to the altar. They unanimously elected Cang Hong. So Cang Hong boarded the altar, picked up the tray and swore with blood: "It's a pity that there was chaos in the Han Dynasty. The thief minister Dong Zhuo took advantage of the war to endanger the country, the emperor and the people. He was ambitious and wanted to embezzle the state power and let the world belong to him. Liu Dai, the secretariat of Yanzhou, Kong Qi, the secretariat of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao, Qiao Huan, and Juck Zhang, the prefect of Guangling, formed volunteers and went to the national disaster. Those who take the oath together today should work together with Qi Xin and contribute to the efforts of the Minister. Even if they shed blood, they won't be half-hearted. If anyone violates the Covenant, not only his own life will be threatened, but also the clan of his descendants will be hurt. For God's sake, ancestors have spirits, please watch carefully! " Cang Hong was emotional when he took the oath, and his eyes filled with tears. Those who listened to his oath, even the lowest-ranking soldiers and servants, were excited, and everyone was willing to do their part.

But it didn't take long for everyone to decide who would play first, but they all broke up because of food. Juck Zhang sent Fu to discuss countermeasures with him. At this time, Gongsun Zan has killed Liu Yu, arrived in Hejian, and met two states at war, which failed to complete the mission. When Yuan Shao met Zang Hong, he made friends with him and valued him very much. Whether we are together or not, we are good friends. Just as Qingzhou secretariat Jiao He passed away, Yuan Shao put Cang Hong in charge of Qingzhou to comfort the people there. Cang Hong worked in Qingzhou for two years, and the robbers in the state left one after another. Yuan Shao appreciated his talent and appointed him as the prefect of Dong Jun to govern Dongwuyang. Mao is besieging Juck Zhang. Juck Zhang said, "I can only rely on. He should come to save me. " Everyone thought that the relationship between Yuan Shao and Mao had eased, and it was obviously reused by Yuan Shao. He won't ruin his future and come all the way to the rescue. Zhang Chu said: "Zi Yuan is a world-famous righteous man. He would never betray his original master. I'm afraid he was banned by Yuan Shao and couldn't catch up with the rescue! " Hearing the news that Juck Zhang was besieged, he ran barefoot and cried, and called his troops. He asked Yuan Shao to allocate some military forces to save Juck Zhang, but Yuan Shao refused. Juck Zhang was finally destroyed by Jiuzu. Cang Hong resented Yuan Shao and cut off all contact with him. Yuan Shaoju laid siege to the army, but it was fruitless for several years. So Yuan Shao ordered his countryman Chen Lin to write to him, telling him that he had personal interests and blessings, and blaming him for his kindness. Cang Hong replied, "My thoughts after leaving, whether in my dreams or when I am awake, will always come to my mind. I am glad that we are not far apart. However, we failed to meet each other because of different standards of choice, which is sad and sad. " The first few days, don't forget, even give me two beautiful letters, Chen analyzed the pros and cons, both public and private, very thorough. The reason why I didn't reply immediately is because I am shallow in knowledge and slow in nature, which is not enough to answer your question; It's also because you are enjoying concubinage with Yuan Shao, but your family is still in the city, and I am Yuan Shao's enemy. In this situation, you are still working for others. Although you are loyal and desperate, you are still a alienated sinner. Although you listen to you, you will be blamed. How can you care about others if you don't save yourself? At the same time, with your profound knowledge, it is impossible to be stupid on the avenue and not understand my ambition! However, you still said it, so I know that your words are insincere and you want to alleviate your own disaster. If we must care about the length and debate right and wrong, then everyone in this world has their own views on the standard of right and wrong. I really can't say it clearly, but there is nothing to lose by not saying it. Besides, it's immoral to break up with you if I say it. This is something I can't stand. So I put pen and paper aside and didn't say a word. I hope you can understand my feelings and know that my mind will never change again.

I can get the letter again, and I wrote six pieces of paper magnificently. Although I originally planned not to tell you, it seems impossible now! "I am a humble person. I work for my master (Yuan Shao), and I live in a big state. My master is with me, so I have the heart to meet him in turn. Every time I go to town to command troops, I look at the master's flag and drum, recall the mediation of my old friend, and touch the string arrow, and I can't help but burst into tears. Why? Thinking about assisting the master, there is no regret; My master is more kind to me than others. When I was first appointed, I vowed to end world affairs and respect the royal family together. I'm not happy, all the counties in Juck Zhang have been captured by Cao Cao, and the counties will be as miserable as the captives. Zhang Qian suffered a crushing defeat and asked me to send troops to rescue and attack Cao Jun. If my plan is carried out late, I will lose the name of loyalty and filial piety. If I walk on crutches, it will undermine the virtue of making friends. In the face of this contradiction, it is really a last resort! Losing the reputation of loyalty and filial piety and the virtue of making friends at a loss are different, so they reluctantly give up what they love and announce their breakup. If the master had a little compassion for his old friend, courtesy to his friends, and magnanimity to friends who left for some reason, I would have learned the upright character of Wu Zun's name long ago, and I wouldn't be against the master today. But Yuan Shao didn't do it. How can I follow Ji Zha's example? At that time (Chao) personally took the oath of blood and lobbied with rhetoric, and finally made Jizhou Muhan House give up his fief, and the owner got Jizhou's territory.

But later, just because he welcomed Lu Bu as a shepherd in Yanzhou, he was not forgiven in a blink of an eye, but was wiped out by the barbarians. Lyu3 bu4 to crusade against Dong Zhuo to beg for soldiers, but he didn't get an answer, so he left. What's wrong with that? Instead, he was besieged and almost died. Wei Liu played for Yuan Shao, whose resignation was not approved because of his advanced age. Because I was afraid of authority and missed my family, I lied to ask for release. This can be called loyalty and filial piety, and it has not damaged Yuan Shao's authority. However, not only did he not get permission, but he was immediately killed by his master. Although I am stupid, I have never been able to finish what I started and guess the master's mind since I was a child, but how can I say that these three people deserve to die and deserve appropriate punishment? In fact, Yuan Shao is also planning to expand his army, crusade against the enemy and unify the east of Mount Tai. He was worried that the soldiers would get suspicious and could not stop and encourage him. Therefore, those who abolish the royal decree, respect the contract system and respect its righteousness are welcome, and those who leave are killed. This is for the benefit of the owner, not the official will. So I took what happened to my predecessors as a warning and stuck to it until I died. Although I am extremely stupid, I have heard what gentlemen say. I didn't want to do it, but my master forced me to do it. Perhaps the reason why I turned my back on my people and ordered me to guard the city was precisely because I violated the gentleman's way and disobeyed the enemy. So I offended my master and was besieged for a long time, but you used this reason to persuade me. Isn't it the same thing but the opposite meaning? This is not a gentleman's attitude towards misfortune. "I heard that loyalty is not against parents and loyalty is not against kings, so I took Juck Zhang as the patriarch of the East and regarded him as my closest relative. In East County, I help Yuan Shao to help the county, and the country will be peaceful, so we can kill two birds with one stone. What's the matter? And you want me to give up my relatives and only regard Yuan Shao as your monarch, which is a betrayal of my relatives.

Master (Yuan Shao) for me, age can be my brother, mutual affection is my good friend, and it is only natural to keep him because of different opinions, in order to let my relatives live in peace. Besides, if you say so, Shen should work for Wu Zixu instead of crying in the court of Qin. Although you just want to alleviate your own disaster, you don't know that your words have gone against your original intention. "Or you see that there is no solution to the besieged city, and the reinforcements have not arrived. You feel the meaning of your in-laws and care about the beauty of life, thinking that it is better to drag out an ignoble existence than to die by sticking to morality. At that time, Yan Ying refused to give up in the face of the Chu people's knives and axes, while Heather, a historian of Qi, would rather die than hide a pen for the king, so he was imaged by the picture and praised by later generations. Besides, I have fortifications like an iron wall, commanding and mobilizing the power of all officials and people, allocating three years' reserves for one year's expenses, and helping the poor and making everyone happy. Why build a house and farm for comfort? Nothing is that the autumn wind blows up dust, Botuo turns south, JASON ZHANG, "Yan Fei" dispatch troops, northern Xinjiang is in an emergency, and Yuan Shao's confidants leave home. Master (Yuan Shao) should know the ambition of these people, turn the flag, withdraw the military forces and return to Yecheng to rectify the army. How can I let his anger torture him for a long time and play down a peg or two under my city? Do you laugh at me for relying on the Black Mountain army as the backing instead of uniting with the Yellow Scarf Army? In addition, all the subordinates of Yan Fei obey the king's orders. In the past, Emperor Gaozu defeated Peng Yue in Juye, and Emperor Guangwu established a foundation in Lvlin, but in the end he was able to revive the Han Dynasty and achieve imperial achievements. If we can help the monarch realize Wang Ye, what is there to be unwilling to do? Besides, I'm here to take the imperial edict against them. "Go, Chen Lin! You pursue fame abroad, but I am ordered by your relatives in Cang Hong; You were entrusted to the master of the League, Cang Hong. My title is in Chang 'an, the capital. You said I existed in name only, and I laughed at your obscurity regardless of life and death. Pathetic! You and I have the same root, branch! Work hard! Work hard! What can I say? When Yuan Shao saw that Cang Hong said this, he knew what he meant, so he added troops to attack the city. Hongchao net

There is no food in the city and no reinforcements outside the city to help. Thinking that he would die, he called his generals and said, "The Yuan family has no way, no plan, and no regard for the county guard. Zang Hong should have died a fair death, but instead of offending Yuan Shao, you suffered in vain. You can run away with your family before the city breaks down. " The soldiers and officials were so grateful that they said with tears, "There is no feud between the Ming government and the Yuan family. It is only because of the generals of this dynasty that we came to this country. Without you, how can we have the heart to run for our lives! " At first, the soldiers and people guarding the city dug rats and roots to feed their hunger, but later there was nothing to eat. The master book took three buckets of rice from the chef and ordered some to make thick porridge for Cang Hong. Cang Hong sighed. "Why should I eat it alone?" Let's make porridge together and share it with everyone. Cang Hong also killed his concubine to share with the soldiers. The soldiers were in tears and did not dare to look up. Seven or eight thousand men and women died, and none of them deserted. The city was breached, and Yuan Shao captured Cang Hong alive. Yuan Shao has always been friendly with Cang Hong. He arranged a grand ceremony for all the generals to meet Cang Hong and said to him, "Cang Hong, why are you so ungrateful?"? Are you not satisfied today? " Straightening up, he opened his eyes wide and said, "Yuan was an official in the Han Dynasty for several generations. Among the four dynasties, five of the three dynasties are in debt. Now that the royal family is weak, instead of helping the royal family, you took the opportunity to give birth to wild desires and killed many loyal people to build up your arrogance.

I saw with my own eyes that you called Zhang Chen Six (Miao) your brother, so my husband Juck Zhang should be your brother, and Qi Xin should work together to kill the country. Why do you watch others kill each other with strong force? Unfortunately, Cang Hong is not strong enough to avenge the world. How can he give in? Yuan Shao originally cherished Cang Hong and hoped that he would return to his side and forgive him. Seeing Cang Hong's fierce words, he knew that he would never be used by himself, so he killed him. Chen Rong is a native of Zang Hong and a scholar when he was young. He admired Cang Hong very much, and together with Cang Hong, he became a junior official in Dong Jun. Before the city was broken, Cang Hong took him out of the city on the pretext of something. When Yuan Shao met Zang Hong, he was there. Seeing that Zang Hong was going to be put to death, he got up and said to Yuan Shao, "The general wants to achieve great things and eliminate violence for the world, but he killed the loyal people first. How can this be in line with God's will? Cang Hong is also a general promoted by you. How can you kill him? " Yuan Shao was so ashamed that he sent someone to take Chen Rong out and said, "You and Cang Hong are different people. What's the use of saying this? " Chen Rong said to Yuan Shao, "Benevolence and righteousness remain unchanged. Follow it as a gentleman, but violate it as a villain. Today I would rather die on the same day as Cang Hong than be born on the same day as the general. " So he was killed, and everyone sitting in Taiyuan sighed and said to each other privately, "How can you kill two strong men in a row?" Before the city was breached, Cang Hong sent two Sima out of the city to ask Lu Bu for help. When he came back, the city had been occupied, and two Sima rushed into the enemy's defense line and fought to the death.

Comments: Lu Bu is foolhardy, capricious and mercenary. Since ancient times, such people have been eliminated. In the past, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty was deceived by Pang Meng, and in modern times, Wei Taizu was deceived by Zhang Miao. People who know people well and do their duty well are talented people, which is difficult for the emperor to do. That's right! Both Chen Deng and Zang Hong have heroism and moral integrity. Unfortunately, Chen Deng died young and his career failed. Cang Hong's ambition was not rewarded because the soldiers were weak and the enemy was strong. What a pity!
