Who do you think is the biggest waste in the Three Kingdoms?

The biggest waste in the Three Kingdoms is Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was the only prince who proclaimed himself emperor from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early period of the Three Kingdoms. After proclaiming the emperor, in just two years, everyone rebelled and abandoned their relatives. His power went from the peak of his power to dominate Yuzhou and Yangzhou to a desperate man who was alone and became the largest power at that time. joke.

Yuan Shu had a good background. He was the fourth son of three princes and his second son. However, relying solely on his family background, he dominated Huainan in less than six years and became the largest warlord force in Huainan at that time. When Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were still struggling to support themselves due to internal strife and external melee, Yuan Shu already owned the land of seven counties in Jiangdong. The land of Jiangdong was not invaded by foreign enemies at that time, unlike Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, who were both the land of the Four Wars. , Yuan Shu became one of the most powerful princes in the late Han Dynasty in 196 AD. Yuan Shu, who was born directly, always looked down on Yuan Shao, who was born concubine. Although Yuan Shao was more talented than Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu relied on his background to raise his arms in Huainan. Heroes from all over the world came to join him, including Sun Jian, who was extremely capable of fighting at the time. He also joined Yuan Shu's disciples. After Sun Jian's death, His son Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, continued to follow Yuan Shu, which shows that Yuan Shu is indeed powerful.

But Yuan Shu was extremely useless politically. At that time, Yuan Shao's political purpose was to establish another emperor, Cao Cao's political purpose was to support the emperor, and Yuan Shu's political purpose was to establish himself as emperor. Not everyone can be an emperor. Being an emperor does not mean you can become an emperor if you have some power or ability. Being an emperor requires legitimacy, that is, you need to explain why you should be the emperor? To be an emperor, you need to win the hearts and minds of the majority of the people. However, in 197 AD, in an era when people's hearts were still thinking about the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor and only occupied Yuzhou and Yangzhou. His power among the heroes of the world at that time was not Yuan Shu was so powerful that even Cao Cao did not dare to unify the entire north, but Yuan Shu did it. After that, Yuan Shu became the leader. In just two years, everyone rebelled and separated, and all forces joined forces to attack Yuan Shu. In less than two years, Yuan Shu became a loner and even had to seek refuge with his former bandit subordinates as a fake emperor. , but no one dared to take Yuan Shu in, so Yuan Shu had no choice but to go north to seek refuge with his half-brother Yuan Shao, whom he once despised. He was intercepted by Liu Bei on the way, and died of vomiting blood before he arrived, ending his life of a waste.

If he had not proclaimed himself emperor, the powerful Yuan Shu would not have been defeated so quickly. Just because of an ignorant political act, Yuan Shu died. Yuan Shu was not only the biggest joke in the late Han Dynasty, but also the leader of the Three Kingdoms period. The biggest waste.
