Dong Zhuo: The second generation of the Xiliang Wuren Group

After the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Southern Xiongnu remained loyal for a long time and did not launch a major rebellion. However, during the time of Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty, the frequent rebellions of the Qiang people brought great trouble to the Han Dynasty, and at this time, the Eastern Han court mainly appointed shandong people to fight the rebellion of the Qiang people.

With the emergence of the scourge of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the foreign relatives, eunuchs, and scholars, the Eastern Han Dynasty appeared to be powerless in the face of the Qiang, so it appointed Liang Qin, Yang Ci and other cattle people, and defeated the Qiang people under the thunder.

In order to avoid the emergence of simultaneous battles against the Xianbei and Qiang people, the Dong'an imperial court began to win over the Qiang people, so the second generation of the Western Liangwu clique led by Emperor Fusong, Dong Zhuo, and Zhang Yi, this time the Eastern Han Dynasty achieved a huge victory.

But at the same time, the Xiliang people, led by Dong Zhuo, began to support themselves, and after defeating the Western Liang army of Ma Teng and Han Sui, they were strong and began to disobey the central orders.

Eventually, after the death of Emperor Hanling, Dong Zhuo mutinied and took control of Luoyang, and the Western Liangwu clique changed from a frontier army to a warlord in charge of the central government.
