Hi! Hello everyone! I'm a bug in the world, follow me and continue to update more reviews about literary stories!
Although Dong Zhuo's behavior was despised by everyone in the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", if there was no He Jin's stupid strategy, it is estimated that there would be nothing to do with Dong Zhuo.
It's just that He Jin originally wanted Dong Zhuo to help him, why was He Jin already killed by the eunuchs when Dong Zhuo came to the capital?
In fact, at the beginning, Dong Zhuo wanted to follow He Jin's intention and march to the capital to help He Jin, but He Jin's move made Dong Zhuo have another idea.
According to the book, after Dong Zhuo received He Jin's edict to let foreign soldiers enter Beijing, he rushed to the capital with his large army full of joy. However, when Dong Zhuo arrived at Michi, he happened to meet He Jin who sent someone to greet him.
And so the story takes a dramatic turn here.
If Dong Zhuo at this time wanted to really help He Jin, then under the guidance of the people sent by He Jin, he should go straight to the capital Luoyang and kill the eunuch He Jin to remove the obstacles.
However, Dong Zhuo did not do this, but after meeting the people sent by He Jin, he chose not to move.
Here's what the book says:
The envoy greeted Dong Zhuo in the pond, and Zhuo did not move.
As the saying goes, the soldiers are fast, although the matter of Dong Zhuo bringing people to eradicate the eunuchs has been leaked, but if Dong Zhuo continues to march rapidly, I believe that the eunuchs will be caught off guard.
However, Dong Zhuo chose not to move.
Dong Zhuo's immobility brought unlimited benefits to himself, and also caused the Eastern Han regime to fall apart.
First of all, He Jin was killed by the eunuchs, so the fetters that hindered Dong Zhuo from climbing up did not exist.
Secondly, the eunuch was killed by others, so in the harem, Dong Zhuo had nothing to worry about.
In the end, when the minister and the eunuch were inseparable, he stood up directly and enjoyed the fruits of victory alone.
That is to say, when Dong Zhuo did not move, the entire regime in the late Eastern Han Dynasty had fallen apart in the struggle between the court ministers and eunuchs, and it was already a situation of "the king is not the king, and the minister is not the minister".
In the end, Dong Zhuo relied on his immobility to directly transform from a remote Western Liang Thorn history to a prime minister who held the power of the Eastern Han Dynasty. And since Dong Zhuo became prime minister, the Eastern Han regime has fallen apart and crumbling.
So, on the other hand, if Dong Zhuo at that time did not stand still, but directly attacked the whole army and pointed directly at Luoyang, what would have been the outcome?
Insect World personally estimates that if Dong Zhuo's whole army attacks, there will be roughly two results:
First, he successfully helped He Jin eradicate the eunuchs and consolidated He Jin's position in the imperial court.
Judging from the character traits presented by He Jin in the book, when Dong Zhuo helps He Jin stabilize his position, he will definitely reuse Dong Zhuo at the beginning. But after a long time, he will feel that Dong Zhuo is a person who is in the way, and he will either find a reason to alienate him, or directly find a reason to convict him of the death penalty.
Second, if Dong Zhuo attacks with the whole army, he will lose his ability to escort him.
You can take a look at the fact that when He Jin was killed, many ministers, including Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, beheaded the eunuchs in the harem, but the emperor had been taken away by the eunuchs, which directly caused the situation of the Han Dynasty without a leader.
If Dong Zhuo directly attacked the whole army, it would only make the situation even more uncontrollable, and maybe even the eunuch would kill the emperor in a fit of anger.
And now, Dong Zhuo is standing still, and after getting the result he wants, he just needs to complete the escort task logically.
I have to say, at least in this matter, Dong Zhuo is really smart!
