Dong Zhuo, whether it is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or the Rendition, there must be him in the highest negative ranking, even in various games, he is almost always a cruel and unkind demon king image.
But do you know that before entering Beijing, Dong Zhuo was a heroic ranger!
One, Valiant Ranger? Dong Zhuo, Zi Zhongying, a native of Liangzhou. When he was young, he had divine skills, could open bows left and right on horseback, and was friendly with the Qiang and local heroes, which showed Dong Zhuo's reputation and influence. Now let's look at military capabilities:
Dong Zhuo initially served as a military commander under Zhang Zhang, and when he recruited the Hu people, he killed more than 10,000 Qiang people, and the Qiang people did not dare to invade at all.
In 185, he accompanied Zhang Wen in his crusade against the Yellow Turban soldiers, and was besieged by the Qiang people when he pursued and killed thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers, but Dong Zhuo not only had martial courage but also strategy, using the dam as a cover, marching safely under the water to retreat, and stopping the pursuing troops with the dam breaking the embankment. Dong Zhuo was also the only one in Zhang Wen's army who had to have the whole army and still had the troops!
In 188, with Emperor Fusong, Han Sui and Bian Zhang, if Dong Zhuo had not entered the capital, but had been crowned king in Liangzhou Tunbing, it would have been three points of Western Liang, and Dong Zhuo's influence would not be under Ma Teng and Han Sui.
In 189, his foreign relative He Jin fought with the eunuchs for power, He Jin asked Dong Zhuo for help, and when Dong Zhuo entered the capital, He Jin had already been killed by the eunuchs, Yuan Shao killed the eunuchs, and Yuan Shu set fire to the palace. At this time, Dong Zhuo quickly stepped up his horse and whip to rescue the Young Emperor and Emperor Xian, at this time, Dong Zhuo only had three thousand soldiers and horses!
Second, the Chaos Demon King
After Dong Zhuo quickly annexed the two nearby armies, he began the road of the demon king, and he made various tyranny: deposing the young emperor, killing Empress He, carrying a sword to the court, indiscriminately killing the ministers of the DPRK, indulging soldiers to rape people's women, opening the emperor's mausoleum to take funerary goods, and raping princesses. Although there were still some good things to help the soldiers Chen Fan, Dou Wu, and Li Bing, who had been wronged by the disaster of the party before, they still could not cover up the crime of the most heinous crime.
Enraged, the various princes sent troops to conquest, and yuan shao gathered at Fenshui Pass in front of Luoyang to declare war on Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo moved the capital to Chang'an under pressure from the coalition forces, and burned Luoyang clean with a torch, which also added to Dong Zhuo's guilt.
Finally, because of Wang Yun's counter-plan, Lü Bu was driven to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and a generation of tyrants died, which also unveiled the prelude to the chaotic world, and it is believed that after Dong Zhuo's demonstration, all the princes began to be eager to try.
Dong Zhuo's death is also very interesting, someone put a lamp in the navel of Dong Zhuo's body and lit it, it is said that it burned for three days and three nights, so Dong Zhuo's image is mainly obsessed with fat.
In fact, the author thinks that Dong Zhuo is a pity, if he stings Xiliang, Tun Bing seeks merit, and then raises troops and recruits Ma Teng and Han Sui after the Great Chaos in the Central Plains, and has the opportunity to dominate Xiliang and dominate the side. Unfortunately, it was too early to come out, and the soldiers around them also went to Dong Zhuo's account for the sake of profit, of course, they could also kill Dong Zhuo for the sake of profit.
