At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the general He Jin heeded Yuan Shao's advice and summoned the Western Liang warlord Dong Zhuo into Luoyang to quell the rebellion of the "Ten Constant Attendants". In the eyes of He Jin and others, this move is tantamount to a clever move to "drive the tiger and swallow the wolf", but they never expected to set themselves on fire.
He Jin's group and the Ten Constant Attendants were both defeated and injured, and they themselves were killed by the rebel army, but dong Zhuo, who came from afar, took advantage of the fisherman. After he quickly solved the remnants of the eunuch clique, he immediately entered Luoyang and called himself "Shang Father", slaughtered the ministers, kidnapped the Son of Heaven, and poisoned the world, and the people immediately lived in the depths of the water.
People have the impression that the "Master Dong" who is full of brain fat is often cruel and arbitrary, and will only "stay in the dragon bed at night and rape the palace women" on weekdays. But in fact, although Dong Zhuo was tyrannical and absurd, and quite the style of western liang barbarians, he was powerful and powerful, and he had rich experience in leading troops. From Dong Zhuo's series of thunderous means in Beijing, it can also be seen that he has a certain political skill. Not only that, his men are also capable, and the Xiliang Group has two top strategists, three marshals, and more than ten fierce generals at its peak.

Dong Zhuo's first adviser was Li Ru, who was known for his infidelity. His relationship with Dong Zhuo was like Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei and Xun Yu to Cao Cao. Moreover, Li Ru was different from Kong Ming and Xun Wenruo, in his heart there was no Li Min Cangsheng in the world, nor did he have the grand aspiration to be loyal to the Great Han Dynasty, and some were only foolish loyalty to the lord Dong Zhuo.
From the schemes designed by Li Ru, it can be seen that there is no bottom line for this person to take the ancient moral concept as the standard. He led Dong Zhuo into Beijing, killed chickens and monkeys above the court, and cut off Yuan Shao's uncle's house, and later lured Lü Bu and ambushed Cao Cao, with exquisite tricks, it can be said that Li Ru was a top strategist of both politics and military.
Dong Zhuo, who has always attached great importance to talents, also relies heavily on this think tank due to his lack of wisdom. Dong Taishi, who was always accustomed to robbing others, did not hesitate to marry his daughter to Li Ru, who was naturally also flattered. Unfortunately, he followed the wrong master, and Dong Zhuo was also ambushed after he was killed, and he withdrew from the stage of history prematurely.
Another top strategist was Jia Xu, the "poisoner" under Zhang Ji. Judging from his future service under Zhang Xiu and Cao Cao' accounts, Wen He chaotically helped Li Dai guo to capture Chang'an and the battle of Wancheng, which almost killed Cao Cao on the spot, and then alienated Han Sui Ma Chao, who offered a lot of advice, but never missed a decision. It was only during dong Zhuo's time that his masters Zhang Ji and Zhang Xiu were not yet reused, and he was a small staff member.

Whether in the novel or in history, Lü Bu can be called the first leading marshal and fierce general under Dong Zhuo. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he is portrayed as "the first in the world of bravery", and the warrior singles out no one as his opponent.
Lü Bu killed Ding and defected to Dong Zhuo because of the red rabbit horse and the golden pearl jade crown, and then killed the "righteous father" Dong Zhuo because of the mink cicada, and finally established himself. Although Lü Bu and his Western Liang cavalry were brave and good at war, they were also greedy like jackals and forgot righteousness, leaving behind "Lü Bu among the people, and red rabbits in the horses." Fang Tian painted a halberd, specializing in poking the righteous father".
Under Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu was by no means the only one who could serve as the commander of one side. Gao Shun, who later shined under Lü Fengxian, belonged to the same battle sequence of the Western Liang Army as his lord. After Dong Zhuo's death, Gao Shun began to be reused by Lü Bu, and the elite troops he commanded "trapped the camp" became the blade of the enemy on the battlefield.
The history books record that this army "had more than 800 soldiers, numbered a thousand people, the armor was all well-trained, and every attack was unbreakable, so it was called 'trapped camp'", which was like a special force on the ancient battlefield.
Lü Bu was able to confidently hand over his sharp knife troops to Gao Shun's command, which showed his trust in this subordinate and reflected the latter's excellent leadership ability from the side.
Later, Zhang Liao, the third person in Lü Bu's army, also served in the Western Liang Army, and like Gao Shun, he was not used by Dong Zhuo, and even lü Bu did not trust him. But fortunately, he did not kill the White Gate Tower like his old lord Lü Bu and his colleague Gao Shun, but instead shone under Cao Cao's hands.
In the late chaotic period of the late Han Dynasty, Zhang Liao led the great destruction of Wuhuan. In the case of Cao Cao's expedition to Dongchuan, he single-handedly attacked Hefei and destroyed Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army with 800 soldiers. Since then, Jiangnan Xiao'er heard that Zhang Wenyuan's name did not dare to cry, and the Eastern Wu generals could only look at the city and sigh in the north, and from then on they could no longer go further north, so it can be seen that Zhang Liao's leading ability is far above Lü Bu and Gao Shun, and it is no wonder that he is listed as the first of the "Five Sons and Good Generals" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > fierce</h1>
During the Three Kingdoms period, brave generals emerged, the marshal valued the ability of the leader to unite and govern the army, while the fierce general valued his own martial arts and the ability to charge and kill in the army, and the single fight between the military generals in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can most directly reflect this. Such as Xu Chu of "Naked Fighting Horse Chao", Zhao Yun of Changsakapo's seven in and seven out, and so on.
Dong Zhuo was originally a warlord of Western Liang, which was already a barbarian and the people were fierce, so he did not lack Kong Wu's powerful generals.
Lü Bu was invincible in the world, with a heavenly painting in his hand and a red rabbit horse in his crotch. Only Liu Guan's three brothers came out together and carried out a "righteous three strikes and one" to barely defeat him; Gao Shunneng and Cao Cao's kin general Xiahou Huan fought for dozens of rounds without losing the wind, Zhang Liao was even more brave and martial, guan Yu once commented on the third brother Zhang Fei, "This person's martial arts are not below you and me." ”
Although the fourth man, Hua Xiong, was eventually killed by Guan Yu's Qinglong Yanyue sword, before that he beheaded two generals of the Allied army and rubbed the sharp qi of the Eighteenth Road Princes; the fierce general Xu Rongzhi was brave and brave, and ambushed on the roads of ShuishuiGuan and Liyang respectively, defeating the future xiong lords Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Li Dai and Guo Feng, who toyed Han Ting between the metacarpal bones, were also fierce generals.
In addition to the above-mentioned people, Dong Zhuo also had a hidden brave general under him, who was Zhang Xiu, the nephew of Zhang Ji, the Taishou of Hongnong. At this time, Hongnong was occupied by Dong Zhuo as one of the gateways of Chang'an, and his uncle Zhang Ji was appointed too guarded by Dong Taishi, which shows that Zhang Ji was not highly valued by Dong Zhuo. The uncle is still like this, and the treatment of the nephew can be imagined.
People often only know the indescribable stories between Zhang Ji's wife Zou Shi and Cao Cao, but they do not know that in the wild history, Zhang Xiu, like Zhao Yun, taught the "gun god" Tong Yuanmen, a hundred birds and a phoenix gun made the tiger and tiger angry, although not as invincible as the master and disciple Changshan Zhao Zilong, but also brave and fierce, people gave the nickname "Northern Gun King".
Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo, sitting on a large number of talents, did not think of making progress after entering Beijing, but only knew how to plunder, violence, and eventually lost his head. His talents have also scattered like shooting stars, writing their own legends.
