Cang Hong is the first righteous man in the Three Kingdoms! When it comes to uprisings, many people first think of Guan Yu. In Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Yu is the most loyal, but not in the official history. It is true that Guan Yu abandoned Cao to Liu, attaching importance to loyalty, but more often, he made the most appropriate decision after weighing his political future repeatedly. By Cao Cao's side, Guan is always an outsider, and under Liu Bei's account, Guan Yu is indeed an absolute core figure. As the saying goes, it is better to be a chicken mouth than a queen. In the official history, Cang Hong is the first of the three countries, which has been highly praised by historians! Zang Hong was originally a subordinate of Zhang Qian, and later left Zhang Qian, where he served as the prefect of East County under Yuan Shao. When Zhang was besieged by Cao Cao, he was ready to lead an army to rescue his dead master, but Yuan Shao refused. So he led the army to make independence, in order to repay Juck Zhang for his kindness in meeting him!
Yuan Shao sent Cang Hong's old friend Chen Lin to write to persuade Cang Hong. Chen Lin said, don't be ungrateful. Yuan Shao is good to you. Now put down your weapon and stay. Lord Lombardi will let bygones be bygones. If you don't follow, once the army attacks Cang Hong, you and the sergeant in the city will only die. Cang Hong rejected Chen Lin's so-called kindness. Cang Hong said, "I fought against my master, Yuan Shao, because Yuan Shao was unfair. When Han Fu, the secretariat of Jizhou, kindly invited Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao took him away from Jizhou and was eventually killed. Later, Lu Bu came to help Yuan Shao sweep the yellow towel, but after success, Yuan Shao sent someone to assassinate Lu Bu. So treacherous and ungrateful, I am not worthy to be my own master. What's more, when Yuan Shao owned counties, not only did he not consider how to serve the country and be loyal to the emperor, but he was bent on separatist territory and killed Zhongliang for his own benefit, which was even more reckless.
However, Yuan Shaobing is well-fed and well-fed, while Dong Jun is helpless. Knowing that it was only a matter of time before the city was breached, Cang Hong summoned all the soldiers and told them: Yuan Shao had no choice but to plan evil and didn't save Cang Hong. I advocated surpassing it. I, Cang Hong, must die for it, because of my sense of honor. However, you don't have to suffer such a disaster. I hope you can lead your wife and children out of the city before the city breaks down, so you can save your lives! However, Cang Hong has been in Dong Jun for many years, and his prestige is extremely high. Everyone said with tears: My Lord and Yuan Shao were not worried at first, but Yuan Shao forced them for the sake of his late master. How can we have the heart to run away without your Excellency? Later, all the food in the city was eaten up, and then there were no mice and roots to eat, but no one surrendered yet. Look at the people of Dong Jun and compare them with the officials of the League. The contrast is really sharp! Finally, the master book told Cang Hong that there were only three measures of rice left in the prefect's house. Without further ado, Cang Hong told people to cook gruel for the soldiers to share. There is really nothing to eat. Cang Hong killed his beloved concubine and gave it to everyone. Everyone is in tears, and no one can look up at Cang Hong. In the end, seven or eight thousand men and women in East County died, and no one surrendered.
After the city was breached, Cang Hong was captured alive by Yuan Shao. Cang Hong was scarred, sitting on the ground, staring at Lombardi. Yuan Shao originally wanted to humiliate Cang Hong, but he was scolded by Cang Hong: You Yuan Shao have been greatly indebted by the imperial court for generations, but now you don't want to serve the country at all. All day long, you just try your best to kill Zhongliang to establish your prestige. At the beginning, I saw with my own eyes that you called the satrap Zhang Miao your brother, but I watched the Zhang family in Juck Zhang being slaughtered without coming to the rescue! It's a pity that my Cang Hong ability is not enough, and I can't personally avenge everyone. I can't give in to you Lombardi has some affection for Cang Hong. Seeing that Cang Hong exposed his background, he became angry from embarrassment, so he ordered to kill Cang Hong.
At that time, a scholar named Chen Rong stood up and accused Yuan Shao, who had never seen Cang Hong. General, you are going to do a great thing to get rid of traitors for the world. Why did you kill loyal people? Cang Hong sent troops only to rescue his late master. What's the matter? General, you want to kill him! Yuan Shao was ashamed and ordered someone to take him down. Chen Rong said as he walked, people around him advised him: You are not Cang Hong, so don't be stupid. Chen Rong has a good personality and is very annoying. He said: In life, justice comes first. Shunyi is a gentleman, and abandoning righteousness is a villain. Today, I would rather be killed with Cang Hong than live with Yuan Shao! Hearing the sound of fire, Yuan Shao flew into a rage. Since you want to die so badly, Chen Rong will help you! You didn't say anything, but you still feel sorry for Cang Hong and Chen Rong.
