Dong Zhuo
Dong Zhuo's rebellion
Cao Cao character Meng De, a native of Peiguo County, was a descendant of Cao Gan of Xiangguo. Since he was a child, he has met with the mind of the machine, behaved inappropriately, and is good at fighting and hugging. None of his relatives and friends looked favorably on him, only Liang Guoren Qiao Xuan thought he was not ordinary.
When Cao Cao was 20 years old, he was appointed "Lang" by "Ju XiaoLian", and was later drafted into the dynasty as "Yi Lang".
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, the Yellow Turban Rebellion swept the country, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was crumbling.
After the death of Emperor HanLing, the Han Dynasty split into two major political groups, foreign relatives and eunuchs, who did not actively extinguish the uprising and stabilize the political situation, but instead fought each other for power, weakening the central government's rule over the localities and accelerating the demise of the Han Dynasty.
In 189 AD, the foreign relatives took power headed by the general He Jin, and the eunuch clique was headed by Jian Shuo.
Jian Shuo wanted to kill He Jin to regain real power, but he did not succeed, but was instead arrested and killed by He Jin.
However, among the local separatist forces, Yuan Shao's strength is relatively large, but he has not yet started an incident and is still waiting to see.
Yuan Shao advised He Jin to wipe out the eunuchs' power and eliminate them completely.
He Jin was worried that his strength was not enough, and he did not trust Yuan Shao, so he wrote a letter to Dong Zhuo, who was almost strong and seemed to be able to control, hoping that he would bring troops into Beijing to control the situation.
Originally, it was planned to use Dong Zhuo's hand to attack the eunuch clique, and then send Dong Zhuo away after the matter was completed.
However, not knowing how to leak the wind, the eunuch group received the news and decided to act first, so they falsely passed on the empress dowager's holy will, xuanhe entered the palace, and took the opportunity to kill him.
Yuan Shao received the news that He Jin had been killed, and took the opportunity to send his younger brother Yuan Shu to attack the palace.
Yuan Shu was a complete fool, he simply set fire to the palace, and a large number of soldiers took advantage of the chaos to kill the palace, killing people when they saw them, grabbing things when they saw them, and suddenly making a mess.
After this firefight, both the foreign relatives and the eunuch clique were defeated. At this time, Dong Zhuo led his troops into Luoyang, and suddenly the fisherman gained profit and seized real power.
However, Dong Zhuo was not satisfied, and in order to further consolidate his rule, Dong Zhuo decided to depose Emperor Shao of Han and establish Liu Xie as Emperor Xian of Han, and Dong Zhuo became the Xiangguo, taking over power above ten thousand people under one person.
Cao Cao
Chen Liu raised his troops
After Dong Zhuo took power, in order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he used the high-ranking official Houlu to bribe a number of officials.
He saw that Cao Cao was not an idle man, so he promoted Cao Cao to the rank of lieutenant colonel and wanted to bribe him in the same way.
Cao Cao saw at a glance that Dong Zhuo was not a thing, could not become a climate, and sooner or later he would have to finish playing, and ventured to Chen Liu (present-day Chen Liu County, Henan) to find his father.
Cao Cao's father still had some family background in Chen Liu, and he was also an enlightened man.
Hearing that Cao Cao wanted to attack Dong Zhuo, he immediately gave his full support.
So Cao Cao let go of his hands and feet, recruited troops and horses, and soon gathered about 5,000 soldiers and horses.
Cao Cao trained soldiers and horses on the one hand, and on the other hand, he contacted various princes to jointly attack Dong Zhuo.
On the other hand, the local separatist forces in various places, seeing that the general trend of the Eastern Han Dynasty has gone, the ambitions of each one have been exposed, are suffering from no excuses, and when they see the time coming, they just use the name of the crusade against Dong Zhuo to raise troops one after another, and the most powerful of course is Yuan Shao.
In 190 AD, Cao Cao and various crusading armies gathered at the sour jujube near Chen Liu to form a crusading alliance, pushing Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and a group of more than 100,000 people set out for Luoyang.
Dong Zhuo received the news in Luoyang, anxious to turn around like ants on a hot pot, his cowardly nature was exposed, and he was immediately frightened, and he decided to move Emperor Xian of Han to Chang'an with millions of people despite the opposition of his ministers.
When Emperor Xian of Han left Luoyang, Dong Zhuo burned down the palace, the official palace, and the private houses, and Luoyang fell into a raging fire and became a mess.
The people were forced to move, and along the way they burned, starved, trampled to death, killed, and killed countless people.
On the other side, the crusading coalition forces did not move, and they were all watching.
Cao Cao really couldn't bear to look at it, and led his own team to fight Dong Zhuo, but he was a hairy boy with more than 5,000 people, and there was Dong Zhuo's opponent. Only the soldiers were defeated and unfortunately defeated.
Looking at his allies again, not only did they not lend a helping hand, but they also drank and had fun one by one, and had no intention of sending troops to fight Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao saw that these people could not achieve great things at all, so he set out for Yangzhou, continued to recruit troops and horses, and prepared to regroup and make a comeback.
