Three Kingdoms Little People Chronicle 0051: The real murderer who destroyed the Han Dynasty - Li Daoguo Feng
The author of this article is the depths of dusk, and the editor-in-chief is Sasha, if reprinted, please be sure to indicate
Speaking of the founders of the chaotic world at the end of the Han Dynasty, everyone may have different answers in their minds.
Some people say that it was He Jin, because it was he who interfered in politics as a foreign relative, which led to the fall of the eastern Han Imperial Power, so that the emperor also became a puppet, and since then there has been no prestige.
Some people also say that it was the eunuch Zhang Rang and others, and it was precisely because their eunuchs interfered in politics, and did not abide by political rules, and secretly calculated He Jin, that the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty fell into unprecedented chaos.
Some people will also say that it is Dong Zhuo, because he relied on force to control the government and forcibly deposed the new emperor, which made the Eastern Han Dynasty once again turbulent and swept away the prestige of the imperial family.
Some people also say that it is Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, because as the head of the princes and the lord of the world's allies, they do not think of making progress and have no heart for the king. On the contrary, he only knows that he is grabbing the turf and ignoring the royal family...
However, the author feels that it is not these people who really destroyed the Eastern Han Court the most and caused a devastating blow to the prestige of the Han Dynasty royal family. It is the two protagonists we are going to discuss today, Li Dai and Guo Feng.
Friends who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms or novels should not be unfamiliar with the two characters of Li Daiguo. They were all generals of the Western Liang Army, and they all belonged to Dong Zhuo's camp. Moreover, whether in the historical records or in the novels, when the two of them are mentioned, they are basically mentioned at the same time.
In the famous board game Three Kingdoms Kill, the two appear as the same warrior card. In the first generation of the famous arcade game "Three Kingdoms Devouring Heaven and Earth" produced by CAPCOM in 1989, the two of them also appeared at the same time as bosses in the fifth level (both small bosses, followed by Lü Bu, the big boss)...
This shows that Li Dai and Guo Feng are really inseparable, and their deeds and experiences in history can also be regarded as highly overlapping.
Not only that, but after Dong Zhuo's death, they led the remnants of the Western Liang Army to counterattack and wreak havoc on the world for several years, which was also recorded in the history books as "Li Daoguo's Rebellion".
According to the historical records, let's analyze Li Dai and Guo Feng, two evil people who were notorious in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Let's first discuss the origins of Li Guo and their respective positions under Dong Zhuo and the roles they have played.
When it comes to the Dong Zhuo camp, everyone's first impression generally comes from the influence of the novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms": Wen has Li Ru, Wu has Lü Buhuaxiong, can be described as a fierce general like a cloud, talented, and the lineup is very strong...
However, despite the renderings in the novel, the real Li Ru in history is just an ordinary court civil official, in charge of the "doctor" of the clerical aspects. His only well-known deed in history was that after Dong Zhuo dominated the capital, he was appointed as the "Hongnong Wang Lang Zhongling". And under Dong Zhuo's orders, he prepared poison and killed Emperor Shao of Han.
And Lü Bu, who is famous in the novel, although he has a relationship with Dong Zhuo as a "righteous father and righteous son", his status in Dong Zhuo's army is not high (just a middle general). Moreover, because of his "betrayal of the Lord" (killing Ding Yuan and defecting to Dong Zhuo), he was not too popular among Dong Zhuo's army, and his relationship with the main generals of the Western Liang Army was not good.
As for HuaXiong, it is completely a dragon set rendered by the novel, and his real identity is only a low-level military governor, and he has only one chance to leave his name in the history books ("Romance of the Three Kingdoms - WuShu - Sun Jian Biography" records: fighting together in the Yang people, the great breaking of Zhuo Jun, the governor of Huaxiong, etc.) ..................
Yes, in real history, the personnel structure under Dong Zhuo is completely different from that described in the novel.
According to the analysis of historical data, Dong Zhuo did not have such a role as "Super Military Master Li Ru" around him. In terms of strategy, he is almost always making up his own mind. The characters under Dong Zhuo's command were basically the same generals of the Western Liang Army, and the main characters were Niu Fu, Hu Yi, Xu Rong, Duan Sheng, Dong Yue, etc., including of course Li Dai and Guo Feng.
Of course, the historical records do not specifically record the specific positions of Li Guo and Li Guo under Dong Zhuo (only recorded as "Dong Zhuo's general"). It was only from the series of events that happened later that they were able to respond to Dong Zhuo's assassination and lead the remnants of the Western Liang army to capture Chang'an. From this, it can be inferred that the prestige of the two of them in the Western Liang Army is still not low.
What needs to be explained here is that Li Dai's position under Dong Zhuo is likely to be higher than That of Guo Feng. Because the history books record his character "childish", this at least shows that his origin is not too bad (in ancient times, those who could have a table character generally could not be a low-level person).
Not only that, in the Battle of the Princes against Dong, Sun Jianbu, who was in the combined army of the Kwantung Princes, won many battles and continuously broke the Western Liang Army. Dong Zhuo was jealous of sun Jianjun's combat effectiveness and did not dare to confront it, so he played a political trick. He intended to bribe Sun Jian in the name of "marriage". The person who was sent to negotiate with Sun Jian was None other than Li Dai. (The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Book of Wu - Biography of Sun Jian records that Zhuo Jian was strong and strong, and sent the general Li Dai and others to ask for peace.) ）
It can be seen from this that Li Dai is indeed a rather trustworthy figure around Dong Zhuo, and can be regarded as a confidant. Otherwise, Dong Zhuo would not have been able to send him as an emissary on such an important matter.
And Guo Feng? The history books not only do not record his words, but also record that he was originally a "horse thief" of the Western Liang generation... From this, it can be judged that Guo Feng's family origin is definitely not high, and his original identity is a bandit who has fallen into the grass. Later, it is likely that he was attacked by Dong Zhuo, and was recruited, and was taken under Dong Zhuo's command, becoming a general of the Western Liang Army...
Next, let's discuss Li Daiguo's performance on the battlefield as a general of the Western Liang Army.
It should be said that the military capabilities of Li Guo and Li Guo are still worthy of affirmation.
According to historical records, after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, both Li Dai and Guo Feng served under Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu. They were sent to the Zhongmu area to fight against the troops of Zhu Juan and others, and as a result, they not only defeated Zhu Juan on the battlefield, but also advanced the front line to Chen Liu and Yingchuan Generation...
It should be known that Zhu Juan was also a famous general of the imperial court, known as one of the "Three Masters of the Late Han Dynasty", and was on a par with Lu Zhi and Huang Fusong. Before breaking Liang Long in Jiaozhou, Guang He defeated Zhang Yan in Hanoi in the seventh year (184 AD) to level the Yellow Turban... It can be said that the battle achievements are outstanding, and the prestige is full of fame.
And Li Daoguo was able to fight with him on the battlefield and defeat him. Although there are advantages such as the natural bravery and good fighting of the Western Liang Army, it is enough to prove the military command ability of the two.
Later, after Li Guo and li Guo occupied Chang'an and controlled the government, Ma Tenghan Sui and other Western Liang warlords, together with some scholars and masters in Guanzhong (such as Liu Yan and others who occupied Shuzhong), jointly sent troops to march into Chang'an. As a result, he was defeated by Guo Feng, Fan Chou, and Li Dai's nephew Li Li and others under the view of Changping... In the end, after losing tens of thousands of people, Ash slipped back to Liangzhou...
It can be seen that both Li Dai and Guo Feng on the battlefield can be called fierce generals, and their military command level cannot be underestimated. Even Liu Ai, who was then a servant in the middle of the court, also evaluated the two men's ability to use troops to fight, and even Sun Jian and other fierce tigers in Jiangdong could not compare. (The Later Han Dynasty records that Ai Yue: "The use of soldiers is not as good as Li Dai and Guo Feng.") Jianqian fought with Qiang in Meiyang, died, and could not do anything! ）
However, while performing well on the battlefield, the military discipline of the troops under Li Guo's command was also extremely poor. Basically, when they go to a place, they plunder to a place, and where the army passes, they are raped and burned, and the lives of the people are like grass and mustard...
It can be said that when the people at that time mentioned the three words "Western Liang Army", they all talked about the change of color of the tiger. The places that were swept away by the Western Liang Army were often also ten rooms and nine empty. Men were dragged into hard labor, women were taken into the camp and became targets of venting, and the remaining young and old could not escape the fate of being killed at will...
It can also be seen from this that Li Daoguo and Guo Feng are also cruel personalities and bloodthirsty and murderous people. If such a person is only for the harm party, it is fine, and its destructive power and influence are still limited. But if they gain power, it will be a disaster for the whole world. I am afraid that the entire land of Shenzhou will have no more days of peace because of this...
As a result, under a series of yin and yang mistakes and coincidences, Li Daoguo and Guo Feng really gained power and became the actual rulers of the Eastern Han Court.
In the third year of Chuping (193 AD), Dong Zhuo, who had kidnapped Emperor Xian of Han and moved the capital to Chang'an, was co-opted by Wang Yun to lure Lü Bu, Li Su and others, and assassinated at the side gate of the palace. The imperial court, which was originally under the control of the Western Liang Army, once again had a power vacuum... Previously, in order to resist the attack of the combined forces of the Kwantung princes and the Montenegrin army of the peasant revolt, Dong Zhuo stationed the main force of the Western Liang Army in the Hangu Guan generation, and sent out all the important generals under his command, such as Niu Fu, Fan Chou, Li Daoguo and so on.
(The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of Dong Zhuo records that in the beginning, Zhuo Nu Zhonglang sent Niu Fudian to Beitun Shaan, and dispatched lieutenants Li Dai, Guo Feng, Zhang Jiluo, Chen Liu, and Yingchuan Counties)
In this way, the Western Liang Army was equivalent to a group of dragons without a leader, and suddenly fell into the dilemma of no command and command. In addition, Niu Fu, an important figure in the Western Liang Army, was also beheaded by his subordinates because he could not escape, and the first rank was sent to Chang'an to repay the merits. This made the entire Western Liang Army group even worse, with no internal lack of grain and no support outside, and it was almost on the verge of disintegration...
(The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of Dong Zhuo records that than dai and so on, the auxiliary has been defeated, the crowd has nothing to rely on, and wants to scatter and return.) ）
According to historical records, the generals of the western Liang army at that time had almost reached the point of exhaustion, some confessed their mistakes to the imperial court and begged, and some were ready to disband the troops and fled with their belongings without permission... However, at this time, the appearance of two characters made the Western Liang Army, which was originally about to be torn apart, re-condensed into a whole, and also directly affected the fate of Li Daoguo and Guo Feng, pushing them to the peak of power...
The first was Situ Wang Yun, who, after successfully assassinating Dong Zhuo and monopolizing the power of the imperial court, adopted an iron-blooded policy of "never appeasement and extermination" toward the Remnant Party of the Western Liang Army. He also intended to summon Yuan Shao and other Kwantung princes to help suppress the Western Liang Army group together.
The second is Jia Xu, who is known as a "ghost talent" in the mouths of later generations, who was serving in Li Dai's army at that time, and advised Li Dai and Guo Feng to say: "If you abandon the army now, it will be equivalent to giving up the most important chip in your hands - military power." When the time comes, you will be alone and weak, and a small pavilion chief, with a few people, will be able to arrest you..."
"Instead of being so passive at that time, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the army's morale is not dispersed now, and summon up Yu Wei to attack Chang'an." When the time comes, if the battle is won, then you will be able to seize power and blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes. Even if you lose the fight, it is not too late to consider the matter of escaping..."
(The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of Dong Zhuo records that there is no pardon, and Wen Chang'an wants to do everything in Liangzhou, and he is afraid and does not know what to do.) With Jia Xuce, he will send his crowd to the west)
In this way, driven by Wang Yun's erroneous policies and under the clever advice of Jia Xu, Li Dai and Guo Feng took the opportunity to release the rumor that "the imperial court will kill all the people of Liangzhou". And thus inspired the resistance of the various units of the Western Liang Army, and once again condensed into a strong brigade, marching towards Chang'an.
And the court side? Originally, Wang Yun did not have much army to use, and the newly acquired lü bu, Li Su, Hu Yun, and other troops were unstable (they were also from dong zhuo's department of the Western Liang army). Although famous generals such as Xu Rong fought desperately and died, they could not stop the Western Liang Army driven by the "Heart of Survival".
Soon, with the defection of Hu Yun, Yang Ding and others to the enemy, and the defeat of Lü Bu and others, Chang'an City once again fell into the hands of the Western Liang Army after Dong Zhuo was killed for more than a month... And Situ Wang Yun, who had adopted the policy of "never being soft" against the various departments of the Western Liang Army, was also beheaded by the whole family and died under the butcher's knife of Li Daiguo...
In this regard, Li Dai and Guo Feng suddenly became the most prestigious people in the Western Liang Army. Because they were the first to raise the "banner of resistance", in the eyes of the Western Liang Army Group, they were like saviors who turned the tide and saved the fate of the entire group.
However, for the entire Eastern Han court, and the young Emperor Xian of Han, this was really a disaster. It had only been a few dozen days since he had just been freed from Dong Zhuo's obscenity, and he had to face Li Daoguo again, the two evil gods of the Western Liang Army, who were even more fierce than Dong Zhuo. It is unimaginable how dark and bleak the fate will be after that.
Next, let's look at what Li Daiguo and Guo Feng did after they controlled the politics of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
First of all, the two men regarded themselves as "heroes", worshipped Dong Zhuo as a "loyal minister of sheji", slandered Wang Yunlubu and others as a chaotic party, and then built their violent behavior into a righteous act of "rectifying the chaos" (or do you want to face it?). ）。 In this regard, he asked Emperor Xian of Han for an official title in person...
As a result, Li Dai was made the general of Yangwu, and later promoted to the rank of Cheqi general and Marquis of Fengchiyang, and Guo Feng was made the general of Yang Lie, and then promoted to the rank of Hou general and Marquis of Meiyang. As for the rest of the Western Liang Army, they also received a considerable degree of reward, such as Fan Chou, Zhang Ji and others, all ranked as "Zhonglang Generals".
Not only that, Li Guo and li guo also held the same "false festival", which was equivalent to obtaining the qualification to act as the emperor's power, and could control the government with impunity... However, their instantaneous ascension to the throne and their climb to the peak of power in the Eastern Han Dynasty not only could not reassure the world, but on the contrary, they made everyone inside and outside the government and the opposition feel panicked and uneasy...
Why? Let's take a look at what Li Dai Guo Feng did!
According to historical records, when Li Daiguo entered Chang'an, military discipline was very bad. The arsonists plundered and plundered, but also regarded the lives of the people in the city as grass and mustard, and killed people like pigs and dogs without blinking an eye. Not only that, but even the officials of the DPRK could not escape their clutches, and they were slaughtered in the chaos... Of course, this was only the first wave of killing by Li Guo and his men. After that there are deeper and darker killing nightmares, waiting for them...
(The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of Dong Zhuo records that he besieged Chang'an City with Zhuo's former qu Fan Chou, Li Meng, and Wang Fang.) The city fell on the tenth day, and in the city of bu, bu was defeated. Dai and others let the troops go a little bit, old and young, killed all the people, and the dead were in disrepair. ）
After that, Li Dai and Guo Feng hunted down those who had participated in the "murder of Dong Zhuo" and beheaded them one by one. As for the mastermind Wang Yun, not only was the whole family beheaded, but he was also killed by Chen Corpse on the street as a warning... (The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms - Biography of Dong Zhuo records that the corpse king allowed the king to kill Zhuo in the city.) ）
Later, Li Guo and Fan Chou, on the one hand, fought back the attack of Ma Tenghan Sui and Liu Yan and others with the strength of their military strength. On the other hand, they arbitrarily controlled the government and appointed and dismissed officials according to their own preferences, which made the operation of the Eastern Han Dynasty almost stagnant.
Not only that, but they still did not change their previous nature of "plundering the people", and often plundered the troops, causing the surrounding people to lose and be displaced. In the end, even in the always prosperous Chang'an City, the people were ten rooms and nine empty.
In particular, in the first year of Xingping (194 AD), there was a great famine in the world, and there was famine everywhere, and Li Guo and his two men not only usurped the money that Emperor Xian of Han originally wanted to use for disaster relief, but also intensified their plunder of the people, causing an even more serious famine... Originally, the Guanzhong region, which had a population of millions, either starved to death or fled the wilderness, and moved south to the territory of Liu Biao, Liu Yan, Zhang Lu and others...
It can be seen that if Dong Zhuo was just a cruel and ruthless villain before, then li Dai and Guo Feng are now simply two beasts with red eyes and sharp teeth. Dong Zhuo also has considerable political ability, does things somewhat measured, and still has some concept of "the world" in his heart. Li Dai and Guo Feng, on the other hand, basically only knew about plunder and destruction, and did not understand the security and construction at all.
It can be imagined that the Eastern Han Dynasty Hall, which was originally lost in prestige and crumbling in the wind and rain. Under the toss of these two crazy people, what will be destroyed?
In fact, in the second year of Xingping (195 AD), Li Guo and Li Guo also gradually developed contradictions due to the uneven division of power. They first designed to booby-trap their colleagues, Fan Chou Li Meng and others who were also generals of the Western Liang Army, and took their military power into their own hands, thus opening up mutual suspicion and infighting within the Western Liang Army group.
Then, due to the provocation of Guo Feng's wife and concubines and others, Guo Feng also became suspicious of Li Dai, fearing that the latter would take away his own head like killing Fan Chou Li Meng and others. And Li Dai was also suspicious of Guo Feng's unwarranted suspicions, and he was furious. Therefore, the two men each led their troops to fight each other, and regarded the place at the feet of the Heavenly Son in Chang'an City as their own battlefield...
According to historical records, Li Daiguo's fight lasted for several months, and tens of thousands of casualties were inflicted on both sides. Not to mention how many of the poor people in Chang'an City, as well as the innocent officials at all levels in the DPRK, would be killed and killed by mistake because of Li Guo's and His men's successive military troubles?
Not only that, Emperor Xian of Han also became the prey that Li Guo and Li Guo fought for. In March of the same year, the Anxi general Yang Ding conspired with Guo Feng to abduct Emperor Xian of Han into his camp and use it as political capital. However, Li Dai took the lead and sent his nephew Li Xian to kidnap Emperor Xian of Han in advance and take him into his camp. In retaliation, Guo Feng also subsequently kidnapped the officials of the secretary of state who came to persuade him...
In short, the continuous fighting between Li Dai and Guo Feng made the war in Chang'an City continue to be raging, the smoke was miasma, and the walls and walls were broken everywhere, which was unbearable to see. At the same time, it also greatly depleted its own strength, causing Yang Feng, Zhang Ji, and others to deviate from Germany and lead their troops away from Li Guo's men...
In the end, Emperor Xiandi decided to return to the east, and with the few remaining officials at all levels of the dynasty, he prepared to return to the old capital Luoyang. And Li Dai and Guo Feng also agreed to Emperor Xian's request... Perhaps in their view, an emperor who has lost his power and is discouraged has no great use value. Under the toss of the Eastern Han Dynasty in recent years, the Eastern Han Dynasty hall is on the verge of collapse, and there is no benefit and political capital to be gained.
As a result, Li Guo and the two temporarily reached a reconciliation. Li Dai led his troops out of Tunchiyang, which was equivalent to actually controlling the territory of Chang'an Guanzhong. Guo Feng joined the team that escorted Emperor Xian of Han to drive back to the east, and together with Dong Cheng, Yang Feng and others, escorted the emperor back to Luoyang.
However, halfway through, Guo Feng suddenly repented and wanted to take Emperor Xian hostage to Guo County and continue to become his puppet. As a result, he was defeated by Yang Feng, Yang Ding, Dong Cheng, and others, and was unable to succeed in Guo Feng's plot, and Emperor Xian of Han continued to travel east.
Later, when the Donggui men and horses arrived in Huayin County, Hongnong County, Guo Feng once again led his troops to kill them. This time, he not only reconciled with Li Dai, who had been fighting endlessly before, but also Li Dai also led his troops to rush back to Chang'an...
The two sides fought a big battle in Dongjian, Hongnong County, and as a result, Dong Cheng, Yang Feng, and other escorts suffered a crushing defeat, although emperor Xiandi of Han was able to survive the siege, but the number of hundreds of officials and soldiers who died was innumerable, and the various artifacts and classics of the female dependents and the royal family were all discarded...
(Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Book 72 Records: The car drove into Huayin.) The Ning Ji general Duan Sheng (段煨) was a subordinate of the Imperial Household and the Secretary of State, and asked the Emperor to be fortunate in his camp. At the beginning, Yang Ding had a gap with Simmer, so he slandered and simmered against him, but attacked his camp, and for more than ten days. And the essence is given to the royal meal, and the hundred officials are supported, and there is no second thought in the end. Li Dai and Guo Feng, both repenting of Tianzidong, came to save Duan Simmer and went west because they wanted to rob the emperor. Yang Ding was covered by Feng and died in Jingzhou. Zhang Ji, on the other hand, was not even with Yang Feng and Dong Cheng, but opposed dai and feng, and pursued the public opinion together, and fought a great war in Hongnong Dongjian. The cheng and feng armies were defeated, and the hundred officials and soldiers died innumerable, all of them abandoned their women and weights, and the imperial relics and rituals were left behind. ）
Yang Feng and Dong Cheng pretended to ask Li Dai and others for peace, but secretly sent emissaries to Hedong County to recruit the White Polish generals Li Le, Han Xian and Hu Cai, and at the same time, they also found the Right King of the Southern Xiongnu to go to Beibei, borrowed thousands of cavalry, and finally turned defeat into victory, broke Li Dai and others, and sacrificed the emperor's car to continue to advance east.
However, soon after, Li Dai guo once again led troops to pursue, the two sides once again fought a big war, Dong Cheng and others were once again defeated, and the hundred officials of the DPRK and China were once again slaughtered... In the end, Yang Feng and Dong Cheng escorted Emperor Xiandi across the Yellow River overnight, entered Hedong, and were protected by Zhang Yang, the Taishou of Hanoi County, before they could barely get rid of the pursuing soldiers...
(The Book of the Later Han Dynasty - Book 9 - The Ninth Chronicle of the Emperor Xiaoxian records that in december Gengchen, the car was driven into the future.) Li Dai and others came back to pursue the battle, Wang Shi was defeated, killing and plundering the palace people, and Tian Fen of Shaofu and Zhang Yi of Dasi Nong were all killed. Enter the fortunate Shaanxi and spend the night on the river. Yi Hai, Xing An Yi. ）
In this way, when Emperor Xian of Han returned to Luoyang with difficulty, he was almost already a commander of the light pole. The remaining people around them, etc., add up to very little, and they simply can't make up a complete imperial court structure... It is conceivable that Li Daiguo's massacres of people and officials in the DPRK and China on several occasions have reached such a tragic point...
Previously, the Eastern Han Dynasty had a sound organization, many officials, all kinds of attendants and palace women, as well as idle people, etc., and they were also readily available. Whether it was Zhang Rang, who had previously been a eunuch who interfered in politics, he Jin, who had a monopoly on foreign relatives, or Dong Zhuo, who was a tyrannical hegemon, at least maintained the operation of this system. Even if the emperor loses power, the "imperial court" is still there, with a certain degree of mediation ability and influence.
But now, after this uproar by Li Dai and Guo Feng, they have repeatedly destroyed the court and massacred officials. It can be said that it fundamentally shattered the personnel structure of the imperial court and destroyed the foundation on which the operation of the imperial court depended... Its destructive power is really not comparable to that of the eunuchs, foreign relatives, and Dong Zhuo and others before...
In fact, when Cao Cao welcomed Emperor Xian to Xuchang, the so-called "Eastern Han Imperial Court" was basically the only one who was alone. At this time, the imperial court had actually changed its surname to "Cao", and the emperor's name was only a pretense. Coupled with the fact that as soon as the Yidaizhao incident came out later, Dong Cheng, Wang Zifu, Zhong Ji and others were ambushed, which made Emperor Xian of Han become a lonely man, and he could only let Cao Cao treat him as a puppet, and even the last bit of hope of overturning was gone...
In this regard, we can also sort out the life of Li Daiguo and Guo Feng, and the process of their gaining power and causing chaos. What kind of evaluation should we give to the two of them?
In fact, there is nothing to evaluate about these two rogue thieves. Because the deeds they left behind in the history books are basically one word - "kill". From the beginning under Dong Zhuo's command, he fought with the princes of Guandong; later after Dong Zhuo's death, he led his troops back to Chang'an and killed Wang Yun and others; then later fought with each other, killing the people and officials of the DPRK and China; it was difficult to let the Han Emperor return to the east, and then he repented and continued to kill...
Yes, to say that they are thief of disorderly politics, maybe both are too light... Because of the two of them, they basically can't see any humanity, but in terms of "animal nature", they are more prominent. Or, they are more like two fierce beasts with sharp teeth and sharp claws in the chaotic world of the late Han Dynasty, fighting with the strength of force, wantonly destroying everything in sight.
Originally, the people were rich and the densely populated Guanzhong region and the Chang'an region had been reduced to hell on earth under years of unscrupulous plunder by Li Guo'er. There are not only a million innocents who die under their iron hooves, plus those who flee the wilderness, those who starve, those who commit suicide in despair... The population of Guanzhong has almost decreased by more than 90%, and only the ashes of war and robbery remain everywhere.
Of course, the massacre of the people is only one aspect. The biggest harm between Li Dai and Guo Feng was the destruction and destruction of the top buildings of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In particular, the several massacres of officials at all levels in the DPRK and China completely destroyed the establishment of the imperial court, trampled on and crushed the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the only remaining prestige and order remained...
As the saying goes, many acts of injustice will kill themselves, and the brutal and evil deeds of Li Guo and Li Guo have also received bad retribution in the end!
In the second year of Jian'an (197 AD), Guo Feng rebelled and was killed by his subordinate Wu Xi (The Book of Later Han records that Zhang Ji was hungry, went out to Nanyang, attacked Rang, and was killed in battle. Guo Feng killed wu Xi for his generals). Li Dai was also defeated by cao Cao's rebel army (led by Pei Mao, Duan Sheng, and others) and retreated to Huangbaicheng.
In April of the third year of Jian'an (198 AD), Liang Xing, Zhang Heng, and others, who were also western Liang, attacked the city under cao Cao's orders and defeated and beheaded Li Dai. Cao Cao ordered the annihilation of his three tribes (why not his nine tribes?). ), and teleport its head to Xuchang. Emperor Xian of Han ordered that his head be hung high in Xu Ducheng and displayed to the world to express his strong hatred for this chaotic thief...
For such an ending, the author only wants to sigh one word: "The !!!!!! ”
PS: The rebellion of Li Dai guo made the Eastern Han court exist in name only, and also officially announced the advent of the chaotic era at the end of the Han Dynasty.
However, we also can't help but ask, when Li Guo and his wife trampled on Guanzhong in order to bring misfortune to the imperial court, what did the other heroes in the world do?
Whether it was Yuan Shao who occupied Jizhou, Yuan Shu who sat in Nanyang, or Cao Cao who occupied Yanzhou, or Zhang Yang, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, etc. who divided the side... In fact, no one came out and shouted with a real arm, and the soldiers were served by the king. Instead, he allowed Li Guo and the two madmen to hold the emperor hostage and cause trouble to the imperial court for four years...
Perhaps, the decline of the Han Dynasty and the collapse of the central government are more beneficial to these local forces...
