In general, if a ruler has a cruel personality, then the generals who serve him have more or less similar personalities, such as Dong Zhuo in the Three Kingdoms period, who is cruel by nature, and his subordinates are also some insatiable people, such as Li Dai and Guo Feng, etc. In history, they are known for their greed and indiscriminate plunder, and they have no grass where they go.
However, many people do not know that although Dong Zhuo's Western Liang Army has done no evil, there is still a different general in this army. Although he also served Dong Zhuo, he did not follow their style of burning and looting, and this qingliu-like figure was Duan Sheng.
Duan Sheng was one of the Seven Great Generals of the Western Liang Army and a core general under Dong Zhuo. In March 191, in the face of the encirclement and suppression of the combined forces of Dong and Dong, Dong Zhuo's army was defeated, so he made the decision to abandon Luoyang and move the capital to Chang'an, and in the process of migration, Duan Simmer was ordered to garrison Huayin and block the attack of the combined forces of Dong.
According to the personalities of other Dong Zhuo's subordinates, at this time, they would definitely immediately plunder the surrounding villages, but Duan Sheng did not do so, not only strictly supervising his subordinates, but also began to practice farming diligently, so that the local people's lives became better, and this area also became one of the few places where the people could live and work in peace and contentment at that time.
After Dong Zhuo was crusaded, Duan Sheng did not continue to follow the remnants of the party, but chose to welcome the Han Emperor Liu Xie, who later sent him to attack Li Dai, and was subsequently named a general of Annam by the imperial court, and finally died in 209 AD. In general, this period of Duan Simmer's life can be called a good reward, which also has a lot to do with his behavior as a person.
Now that we are in a peaceful era, it is naturally difficult to appreciate the ancient situation, but we can feel the unpredictable and complex situation of the ancient battlefield through the game. However, in many Three Kingdoms games, the game only briefly brings these historical events through, for example, Dong Zhuo's forces often only describe Dong Zhuo, and rarely mention his subordinates.
However, recently I found a different Three Kingdoms theme mobile game, that is, NetEase's "Coast of the Land" as a sandbox strategy mobile game set in the Three Kingdoms era, players can freely conquer in the game's 2.25 million square meters of Borderlands and write their own history.
In the game's recently launched version of Dong Zhuo's Crusade, players can detect the famous Eighteen-Way Princes in history to fight Dong Zhuo, in addition to being able to confront the powerful Dong Zhuo in the game, generals such as Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu and the aforementioned Duan Zhuo in history will also appear in the game as a member of Dong Zhuo's forces, and players can choose to be a member of the Kwantung Alliance to fight against Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's men in the game will also have their own will and mode of action like the real history
In this mode, Dong Zhuo's legion will be the enemy of all players, that is to say, in addition to playing games with other players, players also need to face a third-party force with Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's side will not only recruit troops to strengthen the strength of its own legion, but also continue to expand its territory, and even invade the player's territory to achieve its ambition to unify the world.
As mentioned earlier, the personality characteristics of Dong Zhuo's forces in the game "The Coast of the Land" are also restored according to the real historical description, such as the above-mentioned Duan Simmer, who is also very cautious in the game, and adhering to his style of "repairing agriculture and not plundering", responsible for the logistics of Dong Zhuo's legions and the cultivation of land, although the offensive is not strong, but the camp will use the repair strategy to repair the durability value after being attacked, which is very difficult.
Like Dong Zhuo's other subordinates, such as Li Dai, he is also greedy in the game as in history, not only will frequently plunder the surrounding resources, but also very aggressive, players need to always be vigilant to prevent harassment by Li Dai's troops.
However, it should be noted that the crusade against Dong Zhuo is not the ultimate goal of the game, as mentioned earlier, ancient wars are complex and changeable, and the only constant is the pursuit of power, so in addition to Dong Zhuo, there are many players who have their own ambitions, so every judgment of the player will have an impact on the outcome of the game.
Faced with this situation, what kind of choice will you make? Is it to persuade other players with a three-inch tongue to divide the rewards fairly after cooperating in the conquest of Luoyang, or to play the all-occupying ambitionist and dominate the four sides? All the results of the game are written by you.
