The dictatorship of foreign relatives has always been a political drawback of the Han Dynasty. The demise of the Western Han Dynasty was the "credit" of his foreign relative Wang Mang!
By the Time of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "foreign relatives usurped power" continued, and since the Han and Emperor Liu Zhao, "eunuch chaos" appeared frequently in the imperial court.
After the death of Emperor Ling of Han, the crown prince Liu Jie succeeded to the throne. Zhang Rang and other eunuchs formed a party to plan the government. In order to eliminate the power of eunuchs in the dprk, the great general He Jin went so far as to summon local princes to Beijing in spite of the opposition of the people.
(He Jin)
Shi Dongzhuo, the Assassin of Xiliang, was summoned to lead an army into Beijing. He Jin was killed by the eunuch during a fight with the eunuch. Yuan Shao and the others also brought troops into the palace and killed all the eunuchs.
After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he took All of He Jin's original men and horses under his command, and then bribed Lü Bu with red rabbit horses and heavy gold, and for a while his power soared, no one could control him, and his power fell to the opposition.
(Dong Zhuo)
Dong Zhuo deposed the young emperor and established the Han Emperor Liu Xie; he declared himself a state of state, praised and worshiped without a name, did not tend to enter the dynasty, and went to the temple with his sword, and Then he fell to the death of the empress dowager, hanged Tang Concubine, and killed the Young Emperor; from then on, he entered the palace every night, raped the palace women, and stayed in the dragon bed overnight; and even indiscriminately killed civilians, robbed women, and plundered people's belongings. For a while, the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not happy, and the smoke above the hall was miasma!
(Lü Bu)
Cao Cao gathered volunteer soldiers at Chen Liu and issued edicts calling on the princes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo.
First, the Eighteenth Route Princes crusaded against Dong Zhuo
For a time, the princes of all walks of life raised their armies accordingly. A total of eighteen princes led troops to Luoyang.
Yuan Shao, the Taishou of Bohai, was elected as the lord of the alliance because of his "fourth and third dukes, the former officials of Menduo, and the descendants of famous ministers of the Han Dynasty".
The Allied forces took an oath of alliance with Taiwan, and Yuan Zhao dressed up with a sword, took the stage in anger, and burned incense to take the oath. His words were generous, and after the crowd listened, they were moved to tears and surged with passion! It seems that the ally has chosen the right one.
Yuan Shao appointed his brother Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu to supervise grain and grass, and should be put into the army, and there was no shortage. Changsha Taishou Sun Jian volunteered and was willing to be a pioneer. At this point, the Allies looked well-functioning and victory was in sight!
Bao Xin, the minister of Jibei, thought that Dong Zhuo would be vulnerable, and in order to seize the head, he secretly sent his brother Bao Zhong, leading three thousand troops, to fight under the Fenshui Pass.
Hua Xiong led Xi LiangTie to ride down the pass to meet the battle, and beheaded Bao Xin as soon as he joined. The pioneer Sun Jian was defeated by Huaxiong. Then, the princes confronted Huaxiong, and Huaxiong slashed several generals, and everyone was shocked, and no one responded.
The horse archer Guan Yu stepped forward, and Wen Jiu beheaded Hua Xiong and threatened the princes.
Lü Bu personally came to battle, killing several generals in a row, and the princes were invincible. Infantry archer Zhang Fei raised his spear and prancing horse, fought Lü Bu for fifty rounds, Guan Yu stepped forward to help, lü Bu did not fall in the double battle, and Pingyuan County ordered Liu Bei to also come to help, and the three of them defeated Lü Bu. Three British battle Lü Bu, battle a thousand years of classics!
Dong Zhuo saw that the warring princes did not retreat, so he moved the capital to Chang'an and set fire to Luoyang. Cao Cao suggested pursuing Dong Zhuo, who was going west, and Yuan Shao did not move.
Cao Cao, who pursued Dong Zhuo alone, was defeated and returned, and Cao Cao saw that everyone had different intentions, and it was expected that it would not be possible, so he led his army to Yangzhou.
Gongsun Zhan and others also returned to their original places. The Eighteenth Road Princes cut Dong Zhuo and ended in failure!
Second, the princes' respective intentions
1. A person who is full of enthusiasm and does his best
If you ask the Eighteenth Way Princes, who has done their best? Gongsun Zhan should not give in
ⅰ
After Gongsun Zhan of Beiping received Cao Cao's edict, he led 15,000 elite troops to attack Dong Zhuo.
When passing through Pingyuan County, he also brought his disciple Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei with him.
Before the Tiger Prison Pass, Lü Bu killed Fang Yue, Mu Shun and other generals in succession, and when there was no one to fight, Gongsun Zhan personally fought Lü Bu with a hammer, and he was defeated after a few battles. If Zhang Fei hadn't come out of the horse in time, Gongsun Zhan would have died under Lü Bu's painting!
Another prince who did his best to fight against Dong Zhuo was Confucius's descendant Beihai Taishou Kongrong.
This great Confucian with a full belly always acts according to his ideals of benevolence and righteousness. When confronted with a rebellion, how can you not do your best?
In the face of the strong enemy Lü Bu, Kong Rong sent his general Wu Anguo to make the iron hammer pegasus out of the battle, and fought with Lü Bu for more than ten times, and was cut off by the wrist.
Wu Anguo was the only martial arts general under Kong Rong's command, who could fight with Lü Bu for more than ten times, and his martial arts were also quite extraordinary. Just such a strong player, but against the world's first master, and finally crippled. Later, the Yellow Turban Yu Dang Guan Hai invaded, kong Rong's men were invincible, if Wu Anguo did not keep his hands, why did Guan Yu have to go out?
2, wait and watch the changes, sit back and enjoy its success
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers, after the famous door, the fourth and third dukes. In a prominent position, they became one of the most powerful separatist forces at that time.
Yuan Shaogui was the lord of the allies, and when everyone was defeated by Huaxiong, he actually thought that Guan Yu's status was low and did not want Guan Yu to fight, and he had no vision of the overall situation. His brother Yuan Shu wanted to beat Guan Yu out of the account. When Zhang Fei said that he wanted to kill Shangguan and arrest Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu shouted again: "If the minister of the two is humble and condescending, and measures the pawns of the county, An dares to show off his might here!" All with the exorcism of the tent! "
(Yuan Shu stills)
Yuan Shu feared that Sun Jian would make meritorious contributions, but he even secretly stumbled and slowly sent grain and grass to Sun Jian, so that Sun Jian could not enter the army on time. Is such an Allied army undefeated?
Third, why didn't Cao Cao send his men to fight Huaxiong Lübu?
At this time, Cao Cao had just rebelled in Chenliu, and he summoned the princes of the world to fight against the rebellion. He was the initiator of rebellion.
Xiahou Huan, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Cao Cao's generals were all on the march.
At this time, Cao Cao was not a prince or a local taishou, he was just a small local warlord who had just had an army. With his personal strength, at this time, he was far from Dong Zhuo's opponent. Therefore, Cao Cao judged the situation and launched a correction to use the power of the princes of the world to attack Dong Zhuo.
Although Xiahou Huan, Cao Ren, and others had learned martial arts since childhood and were skilled in bows and horses, they had not been trained on the battlefield, and they still had no idea how high their strength was. The warlords under the princes have all been in the battlefield for a long time and have considerable experience. In the face of such masters as Hua Xiong and Lü Bu, Cao Cao did not let his subordinates participate in the battle, mainly because he did not want to use force against his opponents.
Later, Cao Cao led his troops to pursue Dong Zhuo alone, because Cao Cao keenly saw the appearance of the fighter, and the opportunity could not be lost. Therefore, decisively leading his subordinates to pursue, although the plan failed, but also can see Cao Cao's military talent.
After the alliance of princes dispersed, the princes began to struggle for spheres of influence. Yanzhou Taishou Liu Dai led an army to break into the camp of Qiao Mao in Dong County, killed Qiao Mao, and surrendered as many people as possible. Jizhou Assassin Shi Hanfu was a scheming man. Before passing the water, he sent the general Pan Feng to fight Huaxiong, but was beheaded by Huaxiong.
Yuan Shao wanted to get Jizhou, so he invited Gongsun Zhan to enter Jizhou, Gongsun Zhan planned to send troops, and Han Fu did not accidentally invite Yuan Shao to enter Jizhou to reject Gongsun Zhan.
Han Fu lured the wolf into the room, allowing Yuan Shao to gain the rich Jizhou. Gongsun Zhan was also in a struggle with Yuan Shao, but eventually failed and set himself on fire.
It can be seen that Han Fu, who has no strategy, and Gongsun Zhan, who only knows how to move forward bravely, are really not the opponents of Yuan Shao, who has quite a strategy.
Kong Rong, who lacked military talent, was eventually incorporated into Cao Cao's command.
Yuan Shu, who played with power and had empty eyes, after obtaining the Jade Seal, actually went south to claim the title of emperor and became the target of everyone. In the end, everyone shouted and beat, and they died in disgrace!
Cao Cao, who judged the situation and sized up the situation, defeated Yuan Shao with weakness in the struggle with Yuan Shao, defeated Yuan Shao at Guandu, and gradually eliminated the power of Yuan Shao's clique in the north and unified the north.
At this time, Liu Bei was just a plain county order that was too weak to be despised, although in the Tiger Prison Pass Sanying Battle Lü Bu, the prestige spread far and wide, but there was no land and no soldiers, and it could be annihilated by the flames of war at any time. But in the end, with the assistance of Zhuge Liang, he achieved a career.
After Sun Jian, who had even obtained the jade seal, returned to Jiangdong, he disregarded the opposition of everyone and went to war with Liu Biao, and as a result, he fell in the middle of the Da Nang Mountains, and Sun Jian died in the middle of the arrow! Sun Jian, who is in the front of the charge, is more like a general than a handsome talent!
Yuan Shao, who had no false name and great ambition, was obviously not Cao Cao's opponent. Cao Cao, who was brilliant and rough, became the last of the EighteenTh Route Princes to laugh!
