Dong Zhuo should be regarded as a little famous in history, and just one "Dong Zhuo entering Beijing" can occupy a place in the long river of history. But unfortunately, Dong Zhuo's small fame is not a good reputation, he is generally called a bloodthirsty devil and a cruel reckless man.
However, everyone has thought about the question, how did a person as unbearable as Dong Zhuo ascend to the highest political stage in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and show a short and ugly show? You know, it was the highest political stage at that time, and people who did not have some strength and two brushes, even if you squeezed your head, you might not be able to get on stage?
Taking the opportunity to introduce how Dong Zhuo entered the historical stage at a pace that the six relatives did not recognize, I would like to discuss a universal truth with you: everything has a process from quantitative change to qualitative change, and angels and demons are not cultivated in a day.
If we establish this awareness, in the process of reading and understanding history, we will slowly look at problems with the perspective of dynamic development, and many problems will be more objective, comprehensive, clear and profound.
The process of Dong Zhuo's rise
Dong Zhuo's rise began with the acquaintance with Duan Ying in the "Liangzhou Sanming", that is, Li Yunlong of the Eastern Han Dynasty who dared to forge the divine will in order to win the battle.
After Duan Ying became the captain of the Guardian Qiang again, he did a good job in the Pingqiang cause, but then he was suddenly denounced by the leader and recalled to Luoyang to study and reform for a while. Fortunately, Duan Ying was born to be an officer and a person, so he was promoted to the rank of Hezhou Assassin Soon after.
After Duan Ying arrived in Hezhou, he met a spirit guy, and this guy was Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo once worked under Liangzhou Assassin Shi, and I heard that there was quite a set of robbers and bandits. Duan Ying said that he liked this kind of fierce and bloody young man.
Therefore, Duan Ying recommended Dong Zhuo to Situ Mansion among the three dukes as a subordinate, similar to giving a personal secretary to Dang Chaozai, and the Situ at that time was none other than Yuan Shao's uncle Yuan Kui.
Duan Ying recommended Duke Zhuo's mansion, and Situ Yuan Kui became a mansion
Don't underestimate such a sentence, the amount of information behind it is still very large: the two ways for the Eastern Han Dynasty to enter the officialdom are "lifting Maocai" and "raising filial piety", to put it bluntly, it is a recommendation system, so if you want to become an official, it is impossible to have no connections, Duan Ying's recommendation is actually to give Dong Zhuo a ticket to the Shitu. Also, why did Duan Ying recommend Dong Zhuo to Situ Mansion as a servant? Because the three dukes are all officialdom bosses, the prospects of the people around them are much better than those of ordinary people. It's still a circle culture.
After that, Dong Zhuo studied and served the leaders in the capital, and it was not until 184 AD that he appeared again.
What year is 184 AD? The year when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out and the world was in chaos. At that time, not only the Central Plains was disturbed by the Yellow Turban Army, but even the northwestern frontier, which had been quiet for 15 years, also became a riot.
According to the historical record, "Beidi first zero Qiang, Zaohan and Heguan group of bandits rebelled, jointly established Huang Zhongyi from Hubei Gong Boyu and Li Wenhou as generals, and killed the Qiang colonel Wei Ling Zheng"
It seems that the Qiang people such as "First Zero Qiang" have made trouble, but let's take a closer look, why did "Huangzhong Yi Cong Hu" also blend in, and also killed the Qiang Guardian Captain Ling Zheng?
First of all, to explain, "Huangzhong Yicong" is the name of an army, which is the same as Gongsun Zhan's "White Horse Yicong". This army is generally a mercenary army of ethnic minorities with Han Chinese as officers and military officials (managers), directly under the captain of the Qiang Guard.
The position of Captain of the Guardian Qiang is equivalent to a special post and is directly appointed by the central government. Other officers can be selected and promoted from among the local Han Hao families.
In this way, is it much clearer? Did the Qiang and the officers from the local noble families collude to kill the centrally appointed captain of the Qiang Guard. It shows that the Liangzhou Hao clan has begun to collude with outsiders and openly rebel. His own people are against his own people.
This hybrid rebel force soon besieged Geumseong-gun by surprise, and seduced and coerced two large families in Jincheng County, one named Bian Yoon and the other named Han Yoo. Aren't these two people very familiar? Then tell everyone that after these two people participated in the counterrevolution, they were wanted by the Eastern Han government, so one of them changed their name to Bian Zhang, and the other to Han Sui. Familiar, don't you?
After these two joined the counterrevolution, Jincheng Taishou Chen Yi was killed, leaving bad things. Bian Yun and Han Yoo turned into "full-time military and political" bigwigs in this chaotic army, and the war in the northwest became more and more intense and chaotic.
How much trickiness is behind this, everyone can experience it for themselves. For example, why did Bian Yun and Han Yoo not stand up to seduction, took advantage of the situation to participate in the counter-revolution, and just surrendered to the past to be able to "full-time military and political"? The Qiang rebellion is a pretense, and the local Hao clan in Liangzhou wants to take advantage of the opportunity to divide the territory.
This kind of rebellion in which the Hao family participated was what really made the Eastern Han court very high. Why? Peasant uprisings are often due to the limitations of the peasants themselves, and in the end, like children, they can't make a fuss if they have enough. But the Hao family is different, people should understand the routines, the routes to be taken are familiar, once the momentum is established, it is difficult to eradicate.
It can also be seen from here that the previous dozens of Qiang chaos were caused by human disasters, otherwise, why did your Kanto officials come to Liangzhou to preside over the work and make Liangzhou jump, and the people and Qiang people would turn against you? But the Liangzhou officials and Haoqiang can get along with the Qiang people, and can they live and die together to do revolution?
Emperor Han Ling and his officials would only call these anti-thieves ungrateful bastards, but they would never reflect on their own reasons. Why did the Liangzhou Hao family rebel? It's not because you snub people too much. You enjoy the good food and drink yourself, the dirty work is all handed over to others, you still need money and no money, you want to be famous, and you have to be ranked in your ass first and eat ash for a long, long time after being promoted and getting rich...
It is impossible for someone who has no thoughts about you to work for you with all his heart. Just like at the moment, I work in your company, there is no hope of being promoted and getting rich, why are you still pointing fingers in front of me, it's a big deal to change places. This is actually a truth.
Han Sui was very famous in Liangzhou, and was once received by the general He Jin, who took the lead in resigning from the Eastern Han Company and leaving, and the model effect came out, and by the spring of 185 AD, this rebel army had rolled to tens of thousands of people and began to march towards Chang'an.
At this time, Situ Cuili said to Emperor Han Ling, who was fully engaged in real estate development, Liangzhou is chaotic, since ancient times poor mountains and evil water out of the people, let's not rare the place where the bird does not, don't want it? Now the country has to spend money everywhere, why spend that unjust money for Liangzhou.
Seeing the loyal ministers in danger, Fu Xie (a native of Lingzhou in Beidi) was furious, and bluntly said that Situ Cui Lie could die like this. This is a relief, but after all, it is an offense to the boss, you have to explain it. Emperor Hanling ordered Fu Xie to explain and explain well, if the explanation is clear, it will be fine, and if the explanation does not make sense, you will die first.
This problem is actually very easy to explain, because the Longyou Plateau is subducting against the Guanzhong Plain, and it really cannot be lost. Therefore, Fu Xie easily passed the exam from Emperor Hanling.
Moreover, according to the principle of "you do what you do", Emperor Hanling also appointed Fu Xie as the Taishou of Hanyang (Zhisho today's Water City), go to the front line and calm me down, if I can't do it, I will still kill you.
In addition, Emperor Ling of Han also sent Huangfu Song (Huangfu Gui's nephew), who had performed very well in quelling the Yellow Turban Rebellion, to defend Chang'an. As a result, after only four months of defense, he was slandered by the eunuch as a passive sabotage,
Emperor Ling then sent Huangfu Song, who had fought the yellow turban last year, to defend Chang'an, and after Huangfu Song arrived in Chang'an, he saw the scale of the Liangzhou rebellion and prepared to defend and counterattack, but after four months of defense, before he had time to fight back, he let the eunuchs slander, saying that he was passively sabotaging and humiliating the Han state, and was directly dismissed.
Why is this? Because Huangfu Song, like his uncle, looked down on the eunuchs' gang of eggless, and never gave gifts and hugged their thighs.
In this way, Sikong Zhang Wen was appointed as a general of the Che Riding in August of that year, replacing Huangfu Song to preside over the work of pacifying the chaos in Chang'an. Dong Zhuo appeared in Zhang Wen's counterinsurgency team, who was then a general of the Broken Empire.
Dong Zhuo did not perform very well when he eliminated the Yellow Turban Army before, and he always wanted to take advantage of this Liangzhou turmoil to fight a beautiful turnaround. Previously, when Huangfu Song was a marshal, he became Huangfu Song's deputy as a Zhonglang general. Later, Huangfu Song was beaten, and he did not descend but rose and was promoted to a general of the Broken Capture.
In September, Han Sui and Bian Zhang led their team to kill Longshan, and Zhang Wen ordered to fight, but was beaten by the Western Liang soldiers.
Zhang Wen felt that his face was a little hung up, and Dong Zhuo took the initiative to comfort the leader: The leader is worried, the Qiang people are like this, they come up quite fiercely, you have seen it for two days, we need to wait for the opportunity now, we will definitely be able to calm them.
As a result, one night in October, a meteor shower came. At that time, people knew that this was a romantic scene of making a wish, and felt that this thing was not normal and unknown. As a result, many Xiliang rebels began to retreat: we have to go home quickly, if we die here, the wife and children, the house, the cattle and sheep will all belong to the old king next door.
The next day, Dong Zhuo spied on this information, and immediately ordered his troops to kill the Western Liang rebels, and Bian Zhang and Han Sui were defeated and left Yuzhong (present-day Jincheng County, Lanzhou).
Dong Zhuo, who had won the battle, naturally got a good idea, and "suggested" Zhang Wen (who taught the leaders how to work) to divide his troops to pursue the rebels, and as a result, both pursuers were wrapped in dumplings.
However, Dong Zhuo is still different, after all, only he led his department to successfully break through and come back.
Based on Dong Zhuo's excellent performance this time, he was named the Marquis of Taixiang and Shuyi Qianhu. With that, this record can be knighted? It is said that although Dong Zhuo suffered defeat in the end, he still achieved the strategic goal overall, because he drove the rebels back to Liangzhou, so it should be rewarded.
After that, the Eastern Han Dynasty began to confront Guanzhong and Liangzhou.
In the winter of 186 AD, the Liangzhou rebels completed the internal integration of forces, and Han Sui killed Bian Zhang and other generals, swallowing this army alone, claiming to be 100,000 people.
In 187 AD, Liangzhou Shi Geng was betrayed and killed by his subordinates, and Fu Xie, the imperial defender of Hanyang, was also surrounded, and Fu Xie was unwilling to surrender and was martyred. Later, Sima Teng, a subordinate of Geng Zheng, also led his army to declare a rebellion.
In November 188, the rebels returned and plundered Guanzhong .
The situation was critical, and the famous general Huangfu Song took office again, replacing Zhang Wen and leading Dong Zhuo, who had been promoted to a former general, to relieve the siege.
Huangfu Song is a veteran who plays steadily, and Dong Zhuo likes to rush and fight, so the two have no less contradictions. But in the end, it turned out that Huangfusong's thinking was correct, and people not only dragged down the rebels, but also killed more than 10,000 when the enemy army ran out of food and retreated. It made Dong Zhuo very depressed.
After the defeat, the rebels finally slowly split into three major forces: the Han Sui group of the Jincheng forces, the Ma Teng group of the main body of the Liangzhou county army, and the Song Jian group of the Heguan bandit forces. Many people know the ending of these three major force groups, so I will not introduce them here.
After Huangfu Song stabilized the chaos in Guanzhong , in early 189 AD, the central government ordered Dong Zhuo Jiuqing's major mansion to be transferred to the central government, asking him to return to the central government, in fact, to hand over his military power.
However, since the Qiang Rebellion at the end of 184 AD, to the end of 188 AD, Dong Zhuo has been serving as a real military general for four years, and has already cultivated his own power forces.
Dong Zhuo used the trick of dragging words, and in the face of the central government's order, he deliberately went to see his boss Zhang Wen after a long time. Zhang Wen was a little unhappy, and was rebuffed by Dong Zhuo. Sun Jian, a fierce man who was working under Zhang Wen at that time, was so angry that he directly moved to kill. In the end, it was Zhang Wen who was more stable and pressed this matter.
Because Dong Zhuo was already up at this time, he couldn't kill it. And the macho man Sun Jian looks like another version of Dong Zhuo, killing Dong Zhuo and producing another Dong Zhuo, which is of little significance.
During the four years that Dong Zhuo was defending the enemy in Guanzhong and gathered the main military teams under him, such as Li Wei, Guo Qiang, Xu Rong, Yang Ding, Zhang Ji, Hu Yi, Duan Yan and others were all in place at this time. Except for Xu Rong, who is from Liaodong, he is a native of Liangzhou. Of course, he also completed the recruitment of his armed forces.
This is the strength behind his dare to refuse to take up his post at the central level. He said that his subordinates did not want him to go, and if he left, he was afraid that his subordinates would make trouble. This is actually a threat in disguise.
Was the Eastern Han court angry? You must be angry, but you have nothing to do, because your Empire State Building is on fire everywhere, and you not only dare not do anything to Dong Zhuo, who openly disobeyed, but also coaxed him not to rebel. You can't handle one Han Sui, and if you have another similar Dong Zhuo, you won't have more headaches.
In the summer of 189 AD, Emperor Ling of Han was gone. When Emperor Ling of Han was seriously ill, he personally wrote a seal to summon Dong Zhuo to see him, worship him as the pastor of Hezhou, and let him hand over the army to Huangfu Song to take office.
However, the faceless Dong Zhuo only accepted the official position of Hezhou Mu (a prince level), but still did not pay attention to the matter of entering the Jingmian Saint.
Such an introduction basically introduces the process of Dong Zhuo's rise clearly, because immediately after that, it will be the story of "Dong Zhuo entering Beijing", and everyone knows better.
In general, Dong Zhuo's rise is because there are noble people recommending, there are also leaders to give opportunities, and he can sit in a good position and meet good opportunities... The point is that the corrupt Eastern Han court could not control him at all.
Introduce Dong Zhuo's background
Dong Zhuo was originally a powerful man in Longxi, and their hometown belonged to the place where the Han and Qiang mixed lives were sufficient.
Since Dong Zhuo's family is powerful, it is naturally not short of money, which also supports Dong Zhuo's bold character. People, sometimes, have to objectively talk about the basics and conditions. For example, Liu Bei when selling straw shoes, if he also wants to be bold, can he be bold? Selling a hundred pairs of straw shoes is not enough to invite someone to drink, what do you take and people are bold? Refreshing when drinking someone else's wine? Or is it bold when talking to people?
Dong Zhuo has had a bold personality since he was a child, but his heart is still quite flexible, and he is comfortable dealing with all kinds of people.
In addition, Dong Zhuo also likes "the world is so big, I want to see everywhere", anyway, there is no shortage of money, and I will wander around if I have nothing to do.
Not short of money, bold personality, flexible mind, and knowledgeable factors, these factors were linked, and the result was: Dong Zhuo gradually became familiar with many local Qiang leaders. Dong Zhuo often kills cattle to entertain the leaders of the Qiang tribe, and our northwestern men are very bold, and everyone opens their hearts to drink and make friends.
Later, Dong Zhuo traveled to the territory of the Qiang people, not only for free, but also the leaders of the Qiang people would send him cattle and sheep.
When Dong Zhuo grew up to the prime of life, he was strong and powerful, and he was very good at horseback archery, that is, he was often said to be skilled in bow horses.
People who have money and can fight are often people who are loved and feared. For example, Dong Zhuo later treated the Qiang people like this. The Qiang people loved him because he was rich, generous, and followed Brother Dong to have meat to eat; I am afraid of him because this kind of macho type of person generally has a bad temper, and the key is that he can still fight, for fear that he will beat himself fat if he does not agree.
Slowly, with the Qiang people loving him and fearing him, Dong Zhuo actually became the boss of the local Qiang people, and many Qiang tribes who had a hard time also rushed to annex him. In addition, he also accepted a batch of ruffians as little brothers. Do you understand? The attributes of the earth snake have been exposed.
After taking the underworld to lay the foundation, Dong Zhuo wanted to put on the coat of the white road and obtained the post of a state soldier, responsible for leading troops to patrol the border and maintain local security. Not to mention that the auxiliary police are not policemen, the "Eastern Han auxiliary police" obtained by Dong Zhuo through informal channels is quite good, and there is not a low level.
Dong Zhuo, who was originally the big brother of the underworld, turned into the head of the local police station, a family of police and bandits, what is there that Director Dong can't handle? The case he wanted to solve was solved in minutes. The case he doesn't want to solve, others can't solve either.
Boosted by his dual identity, Director Dong's work performance is quite outstanding, and his reputation has naturally risen, and he has gradually become a black-and-white figure in Longxi.
To insert a sentence here, why do we say "strong dragons are difficult to suppress the ground snake" many times? Look at a ground snake like Dong Zhuo, how can you an alien commander press him? People's tentacles lead to all levels, as well as multiple identities and multiple halos, which really can't be suppressed. This is the reason why the Eastern Han Dynasty relied on the autonomy of the local Hao family.
Later, Dong Zhuo, who became a well-known figure in Longxi, was taken in by the noble Duan Yingxiang, and directly recommended him to the central government, or to the secretary or assistant of the dynasty.
If ordinary people want to complete this step, it is estimated that it may not be useful to work hard for a lifetime, but Dong Zhuo achieved it so easily and casually. I wonder how everyone feels?
However, Dong Zhuo worked in Yuan Kui for four or five years, and there was no movement. The specific reason is unknown, it is estimated that there are too many related households in Yuan Situ, and he can't take care of it, and it is not Dong Zhuo's turn from Liangzhou.
It was not until the last years of Emperor Huan of Han that Dong Zhuo saw the light on the road. He got a place in the "Six Counties Good Family" and successfully entered the Praetorian Guard to become Yubayashiro. The compilation of "good sons of the six counties" was a tradition during the time of Emperor Wudi of Han, and it was the purpose of rewarding and encouraging the heroism and loyalty of the men of the six counties. The six counties are "Longxi, Tianshui, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe"; Liangjiazi is a family of "non-doctors, witches, merchants, and hundreds of workers".
Not long after becoming a Janissary, Dong Zhuo won the opportunity to pacify Eastern Qiang with Zhang Huan in 167. Zhang Xi's leader was very powerful, and he returned home with a big victory. Because of his battle merits, Dong Zhuo was promoted to Langzhong, which can be regarded as an official of the imperial court.
In addition, Dong Zhuo was also rewarded with nine thousand silk horses this time. At this time, Dong Zhuo's little cleverness was reflected, he didn't ask for any of these silk silks, and they were all used to give favors and distribute them to those brothers who were worthy of his friendship.
In the officialdom, people who are willing to give up profits are generally more popular. After that, Dong Zhuo successively served as the commander of Guangwu Ling (Dai County, Shanxi Province), the northern capital of Shu County (present-day Mao County, Sichuan), the captain of the Western Regions, the commander of Hezhou, and the Taishou of Hedong. Proper provincial and ministerial high-ranking officials.
Moreover, if you look closely, Dong Zhuo's official resume is basically related to the military frontline: Guangwu ordered to deal with the Xiongnu; The northern governor of Shu County dealt with Shu and Qiang; Captain Penji of the Western Regions dealt with the Western Regions; He commanded the prefecture and the state army, and fought against the Qiang and Hu.
Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out. Lu Zhi was overshadowed by the eunuch when he was working with Zhang Jiao, and Dong Zhuo was temporarily transferred to fight the fire.
But this time Dong Zhuo did not play very well, and was taught a lesson by the Yellow Turban Army. There were two reasons for this: the group of central troops led by Lu Zhi were a little resistant to him at first, and he was beaten by Zhang Jiao without sorting out his thoughts; When he came back to his senses, Huangfu Song freed his hand again and directly took over his troops, and he didn't even have a chance to come again.
Therefore, later, after the outbreak of the Northwest Qiang Rebellion, Dong Zhuo was very excited and felt that his opportunity to make a name for himself had come, because he was familiar with the Northwest and Qiang people no more. So, Dong Zhuo spent money to walk through the back door of the eunuch and catch this car in Pingqiang.
In fact, it was also participating in this Pingqiang that allowed Dong Zhuo to step by step to the pinnacle of his life and become a prince who could not be defeated.
From the above-mentioned Dong Zhuo's life history, it can be seen that the background of Dong Zhuo is roughly as follows:
1. Rich, generous, bold personality, short temper, wide travel, strong martial arts;
2. Be careful with many eyes, flexible brains, will come to things, willing to spend money, know what is more important than money;
3. Keen sense of smell, quick response, decisive action when they find their own opportunities, and resist things that harm their own interests without the bottom line.
It's hard to say whether this kind of person is good or bad at the beginning, but one thing is certain, if this kind of person has more power, it will definitely produce great destructive power. Don't look at him boldly and generously, but he doesn't know how to restrain himself in essence, and he can't stand any grievances.
Some analysis of Dong Zhuo's rise
People like Dong Zhuo are very common in our real life, this kind of person is easy to like, but often easy to get out of control. Everyone must be cautious about interacting with such people.
Don't look at the history of Dong Zhuo who is said to be three or five rough, in fact, he is human and can come to things, that is, we often say "very good at playing clever". Everyone looks at the way he uses to make friends with people at different levels is to know, all use money to open the way, don't think that it is very vulgar to mention money, most people are laymen, money is very effective for most people.
And this kind of network is still very wide and mixed. It's easy to find an opportunity for him to do something bad. The main generals under him, except for Xu Rong, were all powerful or bandits in Liangzhou. The soldiers he collected were either bandits or ruffians, or Hu people or hooligans. Do you dare to easily board the ship of this kind of person?
This is a typical gangster approach, and at a certain point, it is a bunch of outlaws.
Can you expect people with outlaw genes flowing in their bones to reason with you and talk about rules? If he is reasonable and polite with you, there is only one reason, his fire has not yet arrived, and his wings have not been hardened. Look at the things that Dong Zhuo did later, is it getting more and more bottomless?
Huangfu Song and Zhang Wen are his old leaders, does he respect people? Not even the minimum face. Is this like him who nodded and gave gifts to the eunuchs? This kind of person is a typical villain.
As his emperor, did Emperor Han Ling say anything to him so that he could do it? You must know that it is still in a society with strict etiquette, but Dong Zhuo just doesn't care about this, and he doesn't even bother to explain, who dare you scare me, I promise to scare you back, and if you don't convince, let's really do it.
Before his death, Emperor Han Ling gave him a great honor and appointed him as the pastor of Hezhou, which was originally a position that could only be held by the sect office, and asked him to return to Beijing to face the saint, this thing did not even take care of it. If you feel that returning to Beijing is life-threatening, then you can explicitly refuse or explain. But how did Dong Zhuo get it, the power granted to me is still correct, but the obligation required of me should not be mentioned again.
Moreover, after Dong Zhuo accepted the position of pastor of Union Prefecture, he did not lead his troops to Hezhou to take up his post, but stationed in Hedong and waited. What do you think he's waiting for? Wait for Emperor Han Ling to die early. Is this an act of a courtier?
Of course, many people will say that the preservation of one's own interests is the first priority in troubled times, and this is not impossible. Let's accept this selfish explanation of human nature. But in fact, what I want to say is that Dong Zhuo's horror is not because of his selfishness, but in the fact that he is selfish without the slightest sense of awe. How terrifying is a person without a sense of awe, can you imagine? I will definitely change my methods and do whatever I want.
Look at Dong Zhuo's words that refused Emperor Hanling's request for him to return to Beijing: The soldiers and pawns have been fierce for a long time, and they love the grace of their subjects and animals, and they fight for their lives.
Pay attention to Dong Zhuo's wording, what does "the grace of cultivation" mean? Did you treat the troops as your own private army? What does it mean to "fight for the sake of your subjects"? Does it mean that the soldiers below can only work for themselves? This is almost the equivalent of a declaration of independence.
Dong Zhuo is actually a self-centered person, this kind of person may be better if he has been the boss, if anyone is his leader, then sooner or later he will be at odds with you. Why am I generous? I generously wanted to buy you to be my grandson, but as a result, you thought you were my grandfather, and Lao Tzu was going to die.
There is another detail, I don't know if you have thought about it carefully? That is, why didn't Dong Zhuo go to Union State? Because Union Prefecture was still in chaos at that time (Union Prefecture had just been killed by the Xiongnu), Dong Zhuo was unwilling to run over and suffer losses, even if Union Prefecture was already his territory. Another reason was that he knew that Emperor Han Ling would not last long, and he had to wait until Emperor Han Ling died to fish in troubled waters.
As mentioned earlier, Dong Zhuo actually has a very good brain, which is the embodiment, people think clearly about self-interested things. Before Emperor Han Ling died, he was transferred back to Beijing twice, and then Emperor Han Ling died, and the general He Jin sent someone to deliver a letter, why did he immediately start and rush to the capital day and night?
All in all, Dong Zhuo is a person with a bad mind in his bones, and if this kind of person wants to harden his wings, it is absolutely possible to do something to destroy everything. Look at a person to see his nature, to be reasonably empowered according to his nature, and never to cultivate wolves as faithful dogs.
