First, in the TV series, everyone thinks that Yuan Shao is very jealous, and there can be no better person under his command. Even many people think that he is a loser, but Yuan Shao in real history is not recorded like this. According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, it can be seen that four generations of Yuan Shao's family have their own official positions in the imperial court, and they are in high positions, so he is a noble family. But for Yuan Shao, he was in contact with sages who were lower than himself, and many people were willing to take refuge in him at that time. Moreover, after Yuan Shao became an official, his official position rose higher and higher, so everyone can know that Yuan Shao was relatively successful at that time, not as unsuccessful as everyone said.

Second, Yuan Shao is very decisive in handling things, which can also be reflected in the History of the Three Kingdoms. After the death of Emperor Ling, Yuan Shao began to discuss with the general how to kill the eunuchs in the imperial court at that time. Because the queen mother didn't agree at that time, he privately borrowed Dong Zhuo's hand to kill these people and forced the queen mother to submit. At that time, he stabilized the state affairs at that time and expanded his position in the imperial court, so we can see from this that Yuan Shao is a resourceful and far-sighted figure.

As we all know, Yuan Shao likes making friends very much and has a family background. These two reasons also became important reasons why he could defeat Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan, and laid an important foundation for him in Hebei. Moreover, during this period, Yuan Shao never lost a piece of his own territory, and all of them were firmly in control, so it also made Yuan Shao the strongest warlord at that time, not the loser as others said. Therefore, if we want to really understand historical figures, we should read more official history and not be confused by some one-sided articles.
