Chun Yuqiong was one of Yuan Shao’s officers from
the beginning of the latter’s career. He was known as a heavy drinker
and was often seen indulging himself in wine with his officers.
During the decisive battle of Guan Du, Zhongjian was commanded
to guard the food depot at Wuchao. Cao Cao’s food supply was running
low, so instead of a drawn out campaign, Cao Cao followed Xu You’s advice
and scored victory by burning down Wuchao (1).
Chun Yuqiong was too drunk to defend the depot and Cao Cao scored a mayor
victory.
Chun Yuqiong was captured by Cao Cao and was deprived of
ears, nose and hands. The mutilated man was bound on a horse and sent back
to Yuan Shao, who promptly had him executed.
(1) The complete story of Guan Du can be found
in SGYY Chapter 30. <return>
