Xu Gong

Xu Gong

Xu Gong was an official at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He served successively as the captain and the prefect of Wujun county. He wanted to send a secret letter to Cao Cao. He wanted Cao Cao to pay attention to sun CE, but Sun CE found him and killed him. It is recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, eight annals of Shu, biography of Xu Jing, one annals of Wu, biography of sun CE and six annals of Wu, biography of Sun Shao.

Life of the characters

Xu Gong was a good friend of Xu Jing, a famous scholar in the late Han Dynasty (190-193). Xu Jing fled to Jiangdong to avoid Dong Zhuo's rebellion. Xu Gong and others took him in. Xu Gong's superior was Sheng Xian, a Kuaiji official.

During this period, Yuan Shu entered Yangzhou. The Zhou brothers of Kuaiji who once ruled Jiangdong were defeated by Yuan Shu. Zhou zhe was killed by Xu Gong on the way back to his hometown. Chen Yu, the former governor of Yangzhou, abandoned his post and fled to xiapi. After Yuan Shu occupied Shouchun, he called himself governor of Yangzhou. After that, the imperial court appointed Liu you as the governor. However, because Shouchun, the governor of Yangzhou, had been occupied by Yuan Shu, Liu Yao had to move the governor to qu'a in Wu County.

About the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Sheng Xian left his post because of illness, and Xu Gong became the governor of Wu County. At that time, Zhu Zhi, a member of Sun Jian's old department and a native of Danyang, was the commander of Wu County.

After Xu Gong took office, he tried to persecute the old governor Sheng Xian. Gao Dai, a famous scholar of Wu County, helped Sheng Xian hide in Xu Zhao's home. Xu Gong catches Gao Dai's mother and leads to Gao Dai's plan to do harm. Gao Dai escaped tactfully with the help of his friends.

In the second year of Xingping (195 A.D.), sun CE took the opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu and manage Jiangdong by himself on the pretext of helping Yuan Shu fight against Liu Yao, who occupied Jiangdong, Yangzhou. After being defeated by Youquan (now in Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province), Xu Gong defected to Yan Baihu, the leader of the mountain bandits in Wucheng, Wujun county (now in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province). Soon after Yan Baihu was defeated by sun CE, they had to go to Xu Zhao in Yuhang. Sun CE said, "Xu Zhao is righteous to the old king (Sheng Xian) and sincere to his old friend (Yan Baihu). This is the ambition of his husband." So they didn't go on killing them all.

Cheng Pu asks to attack Xu Zhao. Sun CE believes that Xu Zhao and Gao Dai once protected the old officer who will be killed by Xu Gong, and Xu Zhao is sincere to his old friend Yan Baihu, so Xu Zhao did not continue to take in the bandit Yan Baihu.

After losing power, Xu Gong still actively looked for opportunities to recapture Wujun. He told the court that sun CE was the most valiant in the world. He pointed out that letting sun CE's power grow would be a great disaster for the central government and Cao Cao. He proposed that sun CE should be called to Beijing by the emperor's order. (the original text is: Sun CE Xiaoxiong, similar to Xiang Ji, should be given more favor and called back to Beijing. If you have to pay it back, if you leave it outside, it will be a disaster If Xu Gong was successful, he would give Cao Cao reason to call sun CE to Beijing, but Sun CE would not be called. For sun CE, it was tantamount to an open break with the Han court. On the other hand, there will be warlord generals in Jiangdong who will resist sun CE at the emperor's command. Jiangdong, which has been unified by sun CE, will fall back into a split situation at that time, and Xu Gong can benefit from it. This watch was intercepted by sun CE. Sun CE confronted Xu Gong. Xu Gong said he didn't use it, so sun CE ordered the warriors to hang Xu Gong.

(Note: in the summer of the second year of Jian'an (A.D. 197), the imperial court had appointed Chen Zhen as the new governor of Wu County, so Xu Gong's death would not be later than the second year of Jian'an.)

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 A.D.), in order to avenge Xu Gong, the three disciples of Xu Gong seriously injured sun CE.

Historical records

As an official, Xu Gong colluded with the mountain thief Yan Baihu.

Biography of Zhu ran in the annals of the Three Kingdoms: Yan Baihu, a mountain thief in gongnan.

Wu Lu: when the attack broke, the tiger ran to Yuhang and threw Xu Zhao into the captives. Cheng Pu asked him to attack Zhao. He said, "Xu Zhao is righteous to his old king and sincere to his old friends. This is the husband's ambition." It's a sacrifice. Chen Song's case: Xu Zhao is righteous to the old king, which is called jishengxian. If he is sincere to his old friend, he will be punished by Yan Baihu.

Yan Baihu is defeated and goes to Xu Zhao. Cheng Pu asks sun CE to attack Xu Zhao. Sun CE thinks that Xu Zhao and Gao Dai have protected the old commander Sheng Xian who is going to be killed by Xu Gong, and Xu Zhao is sincere to his old friend Yan Baihu. This is a kind and righteous man's behavior, so he gives up attacking Xu Zhao who takes in Yan Baihu.

After the defeat of Xu Gong, sun CE did not harm him at first. Later, Xu Gong was named Guifu, but he secretly harmed sun CE

"Jiangbiaozhuan": Xu Gong said to the emperor of Han Dynasty, "sun qixiaoxiong is similar to Xiang Ji. You should add your favorite and call back the capital. If you have to pay it back, if you leave it outside, it will be a disaster for the world. " CE Hou Li was given tribute to show his policy. I'd like to invite you to meet me. Tribute words have no form (Hou Li: an ancient official who was in charge of regulating roads and inspecting traitors and thieves; mostly referring to post officials.)

Xu Gong's Shangzuo says very clearly, "if you have to pay it back after being ordered". After Shangzuo is intercepted by the post officials, sun CE asks Xu Gong to meet him, but Xu Gong refuses to write his own form. If Shangzuo really approves, sun CE's failure to go to Beijing is rebellion. If he is killed sooner or later, Xu Gong can benefit from it. Sun CE doesn't harm Xu Gong, but Xu Gong wants to harm sun CE. Xu Gong is on his way to death.

Pei Songzhi quoted the book of Huiji as saying: in the early days of Cao Gong's uprising, he sent people to fight against the enemy. He collected all the soldiers and got 2000 soldiers. He was a military commander. Later, he fought with Yuzhou and lost many battles. Zhou ang, the elder brother of Huici, was attacked by Yuan Shu and went to help him. When the army was defeated, he returned to his hometown and was injured by Xu Gong.

Xu Gong was about to kill the prefect, so Sheng Xian was saved. Pei Songzhi quoted Wu Lu as saying: "the word gaodai is Confucius, which is also from Wu County. He is wise and generous in nature. His eight friends are all great in the world. The governor [Sheng Xian] thought that he was the best and advocated filial piety. When Xu Gong came to Lingjun, Dai Jiangxian took refuge in Xu Zhao's home and asked for help from Tao Qian. Modesty is not saved, Dai haggard weeps blood, the water slurry does not enter. Modest sense of its loyalty, there are Shen Bao Xu righteousness, Xu for the army, to book and tribute. Dai had to return the book to Qian, but Gong had imprisoned his mother.

Pei Songzhi quoted Jiang Biao as saying: "at the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Xu Gong, the governor of Wu County, said to the emperor," sun qixiaoxiong is similar to Xiang Ji. You should add your favorite and call back the capital. If you have to pay it back, if you leave it outside, it will be a disaster for the world. " CE Hou Li was given tribute to show his policy. I'd like to invite you to meet me. If the tribute is not expressed, the warrior will be hanged immediately. Gongnu guest sneaks among the people and wants to pay tribute.

Pei Songzhi quoted huijidian record as saying: the word of Xian is Xiaozhang, which has a great deal of elegance. He took Xiaolian as an example, supplemented Shulang as a minister, and moved to the prefect of Wujun to remove the official with illness.

Vengeance of the disciples

During his lifetime, Xu Gong recruited some disciples. Three of them did not forget their old master and tried every means to kill their enemies. In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 A.D.), Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, secretly contacted the remaining Party of mountain bandits under sun CE in an attempt to overthrow sun CE's rule in Jiangdong. Sun CE decided to crusade against Chen Deng. When he marched to Dantu, Xu Gong finally found the opportunity. Because sun CE had the habit of riding alone and thinking in the wild, when sun CE went out to hunt, the three disciples shot a cold arrow into sun CE's cheek. Later, in the fight with sun CE, these disciples were killed by the bodyguards who rushed to them. After that, sun Junce died of infection at the age of 26.

Pei Songzhi guessed that if sun CE had not been assassinated at this time, if he succeeded in attacking Xu Yingxian emperor, sun CE might not have moved to Jiangdong: Pei Songzhi said: Huang zushi was defeated by the policy, but Liu Biao had no intention of annexation. Although he was in the upper class, how could he regulate the wuhui? This move should be based on Chen Deng's plan, but it's more than just a plan. At that time, Emperor qiangzong, Xiao Shuai, Zu Lang, and Yan Hu's disciples, had finished killing the birds. What was the matter with the rest of the mountains? However, there is no time to regulate the policy. If you want to succeed in planning, you have the power in your hands, and you can have both Huai and Si. Why should you move the emperor to Yang and Yue outside Bi Zhijiang? In the case of Wei Wu Ji, Emperor Wu had already gone out of tunguan ferry on the fourth day of Jian'an. Before he died, he had been fighting with Yuan Shao for a long time, so it was not wrong in the annals of the state. Xu Gongke is a little man who has not heard of anything. He can feel his kindness, forget his life when facing righteousness, and work hard. He is like an ancient martyr. Poetry: "gentlemen have Hui you, villains and belong." What are the tribute guests.
