As usual, Yuan Shao, who gave He Jin and his opinion, was also in vain, and only had the share of gritted teeth and remorse left. When He Jin was bringing troops into Beijing, he had sent Bao Xin, who was from Taishan County, to his hometown to recruit troops, and when Bao Xin had just returned to Beijing, he advised Yuan Shao to take the lead, saying: "Dong Zhuo has a strong army and a bad heart, if he does not think of ways to deal with it early, he will be controlled by him in the future." He should take advantage of his new arrival in the capital, the tiredness of his men and horses, and send troops to attack, but they can be captured in one fell swoop. ”
Yuan Shao hesitated again and again, but still did not dare to send troops, and Bao Xin had to return to Taishan.
"Zhuo Zhong came to the east, the golden armor shone with sunlight, the People of Pingtu were vulnerable, and the soldiers who came were all Hu Qiang." The female poet Cai Wenji of the same period wrote poems and vividly depicted Dong Zhuojun's entry into the city. In fact, this is also the appearance of Dong Zhuochengxin, when he first entered the capital, all his infantry and cavalry, Han soldiers and Hu Qiang soldiers added a piece, as long as three thousand horses, the strength of the troops is not much.
In order to deter the near and far, Dong Zhuo, just like when he first built a dam and barraged the river, secretly sent nearly a battalion of fighters outside the city at night about three or five days, and then drove back with a big wave the next morning. It gives people the impression that The Liangzhou soldiers are pouring in an endless stream, coming to the capital from time to time.
The general He Jin was dead, and his younger brother He Miao, the che general, usually disagreed with his brother, and He Jin's subordinates suspected that He Miao was conspiring with the eunuchs and killed him. Erhe's soldiers had nothing to do with it, and seeing that Dong Zhuo was powerful, they all surrendered to Dong Zhuo.
After Ding Yuan obtained He Jin's summons, he also wanted to intervene in the center of the imperial court, but he was one step too late, allowing Dong Zhuo to take the lead. Judging from the situation at that time, he was not willing to cooperate with Dong Zhuo, and he was even more unwilling to submit to him, and it was absolutely impossible for him to obediently surrender his military power like Emperor Fusong, or to return to the prefecture on his own.
If Dong Zhuo wanted to monopolize power, he was bound to deal with Ding Yuan first, but the Erhe soldiers could not be fully trusted in terms of loyalty or campaign strength, and the Liangzhou army that came to Beijing with him was limited in number, and it was difficult to win against the Hezhou army, which was also a strong brigade.
At that time, hezhou was completely the same as Liangzhou in terms of natural conditions and folk customs, and there were originally many Xiongnu people who migrated from within its territory, and later a large number of them poured into Qianghu, which was another area where the so-called "Qiang plague" spread. For many years, the Hezhou Army was composed of Han soldiers and Qianghu soldiers, and for many years not only to deal with the "Qiang Plague", but also to resist the Xiongnu and Xianbei in northern Xinjiang, and the troops were as brave and good at war as the Liangzhou Army, so the two armies were collectively called "And Liangjin Soldiers".
If the two tigers are entangled together, even if they are drawn, it is a lose-lose scene, which will only cheapen the other central armed forces waiting for the opportunity, which is not what Dong Zhuo wants to see. In order to stabilize Ding Yuan, he decided to first grant him the post of Kingo in the name of the imperial court.
Zhi Jingo was the chief of the governor of the jingshi region, and this position was of an honorary nature, lower than that of the three dukes, but with the same rank as the ninth secretary. Ding Yuan was really confused by Dong Zhuo's appearance and temporarily lost his defensive heart, and Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to move his hands and feet inside the Hezhou Army.
Ding Yuan was similar to Dong Zhuo in terms of combat bravery and riding and shooting skills, except that he was born in a poor family, nor was he a native of Hezhou, far from having deep roots in Liangzhou like Dong Zhuo. He was able to command and expand the merged state army, relying mainly on lü Bu and other local generals in the state
