The atrocities of Dong Zhuo were mentioned above, so let's talk about the anti-Dong forces now.
In fact, strictly speaking, the purpose of Dong Zhuo's most feared troops was not to oppose Dong, but to overthrow the Eastern Han court.
For the convenience of the narrative, I put it at the end, if you are more curious, you can skip to see, but don't forget to come back oh, otherwise the traffic is used up, not back thanks to ah.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > the sadness of famous generals</h1>
Let's start with the courtiers, in addition to the Yuan Shao and Ding Yuan mentioned earlier, there is also a famous general who seems to be the most threatening, but indirectly became Dong Zhuo's accomplice- Huang Fusong.
Emperor Fusong originally had the ability to quell the rebellion in Liangzhou, but in the blink of an eye, Emperor Ling died, He Jin was killed, eunuchs were destroyed, Dong Zhuo was chaotic, and everything came too suddenly.
Previously, when Emperor Ling of Han was seriously ill, he ordered Emperor Fusong to take over Dong Zhuo's military power. In the face of Dong Zhuo's disrespect for his resistance, Emperor Fusong's nephew Emperor Fuli advised his uncle to fight against him, but the good old man only made a painless and painless performance to express his anger and condemnation of Dong Zhuo...
When Dong Zhuo was stationed in Luoyang, Emperor Fusong commanded 30,000 troops, stationed in Fufeng, Gai Xun advised him to cut Dong, he did not listen, it just so happened that Dong Zhuo summoned Gai Xun as a huilang and Huang Fusong as a city gate lieutenant, before leaving, Chang Shi Liang Yan again persuaded Emperor Fusong and drew a beautiful blueprint for him, but he still did not listen.
Here is a short paragraph, in the process of Liang Yan persuading Emperor Fusong, there is a very important sentence - "Greet the supreme with the generals, and be ordered to rebel."
Are you familiar? Later frustrated, Guo Jia, Mao Jiu, these well-known strategists of the Three Kingdoms era, all said similar things, so I once thought that this long history of Liang Yan was very powerful, but unfortunately, there are too few historical materials about him.
Emperor Fusong, as the first general at the end of the Han Dynasty, insisted on sending him to death, how sad it was, if he could listen to advice, perhaps his status was not only one of the sixty-four generals of the Martial Temple, but also a hero who was incomparably worshipped by future generations.
Unfortunately, history will have ifs, only the sighs of posterity.
Okay, sigh first, and then talk about Kyoto's Taxi Group.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="122" > second, the integrity of the scholar</h1>
Dong Zhuo used the high-ranking official Houlu to win over the scholars, and then used his tough wrists to intimidate them, which did play a very good effect, and the taiwei Huang Huan and Situ Yang Biao all bowed to Dong Zhuo's "pomegranate waist", at least the "Zizhi Tongjian" thought so.
However, the scholar group is not all soft eggs, they may not be able to kill the enemy, but behind the calculation of you, yin you, that can be.
Of course, Lu Zhi is an exception, this Humble and Huang Fusong, are "political scum", it seems that the Three Kingdoms era did not have "perfect people", the force of the explosion is usually brainless, the brain usually does not play politics, can play politics and usually can not do the killing of people...
In short, Dong Zhuo would not understand the integrity of the scholars, and when he controlled the government of the dynasty and the group of scholars was almost silent, he naively thought that they were afraid, that they were on their side, and that they would not rebel again.
That's because they are looking for opportunities, as long as Dong Zhuo shows flaws, he will shoot mercilessly! For example, Lieutenant Yue Knight - Wu Fu.
As for whether the knife used is called the "Seven Star Knife", I can only say that there is a possibility, but the possibility is almost zero.
At first, Wu Fu did not show any objection, until Dong Zhuo summoned him, knowing that he had a one-on-one chance to get close, he hid a sabre under the imperial clothes, and between words, he looked at ease, and when Dong Zhuo sent him to the middle of the door, he pulled out the sabre and stabbed Dong Zhuo. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo's strength was too great, and he was a flexible fat man, and Wu Fu did not hit a blow, but was caught.
Dong Zhuo angrily asked Wu Fu if he wanted to rebel, and Wu Fu said loudly: "Ru is not my jun, I am not Ru Chen, why is there the opposite?" Ru chaotic country usurped the lord, the sin is great, this is the day of my death, so I have come to accuse the ear of the thief, and hate not to split the ru in the city to thank the world. ”
As soon as these words came out, he knew that the ending was not as dramatic as Meng De's sacrifice of the sword, and Wu Fu was killed, which also fulfilled the name of a loyal subject.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="123" >3. Complex rebels</h1>
Finally, to say "anti-Dong alliance", because on top of the original official position, it was temporarily granted a title by the alliance leader Yuan Shao, so they can only be counted as half a courtier, such as Yuan Shao himself, whose original identity was Bohai Taishou, and later called himself a cheqi general.
Interestingly, under the banner of "anti-Dong to save the country", the first thing he did was to exceed his authority and do the work of the Son of Heaven! In particular, the alliance lord Yuan Shao, soon after he raised an army, Dong Zhuo killed his uncle Yuan Kui and the Yuan clan that remained in Kyoto, what a great vendetta, and as a result, Yuan Shao did not think of entering the army, but thought of establishing another emperor...
It is conceivable that although these people are rebels, there are few who are sincerely anti-Dong, and many of them, who may not even have seen Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, have started infighting, and eventually they have either dispersed or perished, which has become an out-and-out joke.
Regarding the anti-Dong alliance, there are too many things to talk about, such as "in the end there are no eighteen road princes", "what is the situation of the few roads that did not come", etc., but these talks will be relatively long, and a single "initiator of the activity" will have to go around the bend, do not believe that I will give you a cover:
You see, this is just a simple statement, friends who don't know much about history, I'm afraid it will look dizzy. So here, let's just briefly talk about how this alliance is going, and other issues will be left for later.
So what's going on with this alliance?
Since many of the heroes in the alliance rose up east of Hangu Pass, they were called the Kwantung Army, and in order to distinguish a certain notorious force, posterity usually called them the "Kwantung Rebel Army", and as for their "righteousness", just like "courtiers", it is half of them.
In short, this alliance army was thunderous and the rain was small, and dong Zhuo was afraid not of them, but of joining forces with another unit, although this was impossible.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="180" > four, terrible opponents</h1>
Who is Dong Zhuo most afraid of?
This unit, the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army headed by Guo Tai, had their own title, the White Wave Army, because they had started in the White Wave Valley in Hedong County.
You can understand this, peasant army, how can it be united with the princes of the Kanto region, they can't urinate in a pot at all, unless one of them is not firm in his position and turns sexual.
Wait, peasant army? He had been beaten to pieces by the government army, not to mention that Dong Zhuo was now holding a more ferocious Northwest Army, what was he afraid of? There are two main aspects:
First, they are afraid that the White Polish Army will go south and cut off the retreat route.
Hedong County is located north of Hongnong, if Guo Tai leads the army south, it will cut off Dong Zhuo's way to Chang'an, it is very fatal, the White Polish Army is a large force with more than 100,000 people, Dong Zhuo wants to take the courtiers and the people of Luoyang to break through, it is basically impossible.
Second, the White Polish Army defeated the Zhonglang general Niu Fu.
Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu was very prestigious in the military, and Li Dai and Guo Feng, including Jia Xu, were all former subordinates of Niu Fu. As for the record, there are not many previous records, let's talk about the two backs: You say that Lü Buli is not strong? He once sent troops to surround and suppress Niu Fu, and as a result, he was defeated and returned; and Zhu Juan, before we did not talk about his story, but in the face of Niu Fu, he was too frightened to enter the army...
It is just a pity that such a unit has no staying power, in the face of Dong Zhuo's crazy attack, Guo Tai was killed, the White Polish army collapsed, Yang Feng and other generals surrendered, and Han Xian and other generals fought for themselves, until Cao Cao welcomed the emperor to return to the east, and gradually disappeared from people's vision.
These are the four forces that are recorded in the historical record and are the most threatening to Dong Zhuo.
Among them, the Shiren clique seemed to be the weakest, but it finally wanted Dong Zhuo's life, and the Kwantung rebels, who seemed to be the most powerful, were shocked to death by Dong Zhuo's sweat. Next article, let's talk about this complex alliance army.
