Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 12 Dong Zhuo’s Family History

  Dong Zhuo was born in a powerful family in Xiliang.

  Strictly speaking, it should be one of the representatives of the big landlord class in Shanxi.

  Different from the aristocratic families in Shandong, Dong Zhuo, who was born in Xiliang, has been exposed to people and things that have influenced his life since he was a child. It is not poetry and etiquette, but Qiang people and force.

   Belief in the fact that a big fist is the truth is very popular among the Qiang people who have no cultural heritage. There is nothing better than a fight to solve the problem. If there is still a conflict, then use a knife.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo, who is strong, strong, proficient in martial arts, skilled in riding, can shoot left and right, can lead a group of guards at any time, and is good at single-handed and group fights, soon became popular in the local Qiang circle. With fame.

   The halo of fame was still very useful in the Han Dynasty. The well-known Dong Zhuo relied on his family's wealth, and he didn't hesitate at all. He often invited the leader of the Qiang people, Hao Shuai, to visit him. Whenever a Qiang man came to visit his home, he would slaughter cattle and goats to entertain the Qiang man, and established a mutually implicated trade relationship with the Qiang people in the transaction.

A small group of Qiang people can't beat Dong Zhuo. After all, Dong Zhuo is also from a powerful background, and there are many guards under him. Dong Zhuo himself is also strong and strong. Don't lose his life if he can't eat meat; Cattle and sheep are green grass, and now there is Dong Zhuo who can get good things. If he is killed, he will struggle not to talk about who to turn to next time he eats salt?

As luck would have it, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Emperor Han Ling was in power, on the one hand, the Han Dynasty wanted to suppress the local tyrants as much as possible, and on the other hand, it had to use the local tyrants to suppress the peasant uprising and the resistance of the ethnic minorities. Exceptionally, he became the target of the government's use and appeasement.

  At that time, Dong Zhuo served as a state soldier and horseman as a son of a good family, responsible for leading troops to patrol the frontier fortresses and maintaining local law and order. For Dong Zhuo, it was like finally putting on the tiger skin of the imperial court and starting his career as a warlord.

   Soon, the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty was eager to solve the Xiqiang issue, and began to vigorously promote some Xiliang tyrants. This was another extremely important development opportunity for Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo not only maintained his status and influence among the local tyrants, but also relied on his financial and military power to win over and merge other forces to continuously consolidate and expand his own power.

  Subsequently, Dong Zhuo was awarded the title of Habayashi Lang, and he was in charge of the Habayashi Army of Yuanjun (Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, Xihe). Soon, he was promoted to army commander, and followed Zhonglang General Zhang Huan to conquer the rebellious Qiang people in Bingzhou.

   It was also at this time that Dong Zhuo met a person who changed his life, Li Ru.

The first time Dong Zhuo knew that the guerrilla mode of the Qiang people was useless, the first time he knew that 100 trained soldiers could easily defeat 200 untrained soldiers, and the first time he didn’t want to fight for official documents. Worry about logistical trifles and learn for the first time that there are more terrifying and effective things to defeat your enemies than fists.

  Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru had changed his original view of literati. In order to win over, he tied Li Ru to his chariot and married his daughter to Li Ru.

  During the ensuing campaign against the rebel Qiang people, with the help of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo tried his best to express himself, giving full play to his brave and powerful advantages, charged and killed, and established his great reputation in Xiliang area.

  Because of his outstanding achievements, Dong Zhuo was promoted to doctor because of his meritorious service, and later he was promoted again to Guangwu Ling, the governor of the northern part of the county, and the captain of Xuji in the Western Regions.

Later, Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou rebelled in the north, and spread rapidly. They not only killed Jincheng prefect Chen Yi, but also led an army in the name of crusade against eunuchs in the second year of Zhongping, "invading the bandits." Sansuke invaded and forced Yuanling."

  At the critical moment when the Eastern Han regime was overthrown, Emperor Ling of Han hastily mobilized and conscripted almost all the elite soldiers to defend against Bian Zhang and Han Sui's attacks. Therefore, Dong Zhuo was relocated to General Zhonglang, worshiped General Polu, and together with Sikong Zhang Wen, Zhijinwu Yuan Pang, General Dangkou Zhou Shen and others led a total of more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry to station in Meiyang to guard the Yuanling.

  At this time, Dong Zhuo has formally grown from a frontier captain to a general in charge of the army. Later, Dong Zhuo performed outstandingly because of his meritorious service against Bian Zhang and Han Sui. Soon after, Dong Zhuo was granted the title of Marquis of Tai Township, with thousands of households in the city.

  Dong Zhuo has repeatedly made great achievements in the continuous battle with Han Sui and Ma Teng of the Qiang Hu, and was once again awarded by the court and paid homage to the former general. Later, the court felt that Dong Zhuo's power was too great, and wanted to move Dong Zhuo to be the young mansion of the three princes and nine ministers in the central government. Once the minister Fen is ordered, I beg the general of Beizhou to serve Bianchui." He politely refused and refused to take up the post.

At this point, Dong Zhuo's warlord gradually took shape, forming a mixed army with Xiliang soldiers as the main body, mixed with Hu and Qiang people. During the continuous invasion of the Qiang people in the frontier, many veterans with rich experience in war were accumulated and became a powerful team at this time.

   Dong Zhuo's power, which was constantly promoted, expanded rapidly.

Emperor Han Ling finally felt that Dong Zhuo was too big to lose. In order to prevent Dong Zhuo's power from growing and spreading, Emperor Ling summoned Dong Zhuo during his serious illness and worshiped him as Bingzhou Mu. Dong Zhuo power.

  But at this time, Dong Zhuo was not willing to surrender his military power, and he immediately led his own troops to Hedong, officially becoming a powerful local warlord force who listened to the instructions and did not listen to the propaganda.

  Before Han Lingdi continued to attack Dong Zhuo's forces, Han Lingdi couldn't hold on to his own death, and then the harem fought for power and profit. The new emperor took office, and the matter of coming and going was put on hold.

  Until an edict was sent to Dong Zhuo, General He Jin transferred Dong Zhuo to Beijing!

  General He Jin's original idea was perfect.

The Eighth Colonel of the Forbidden Army Xiyuan who originally guarded the palace in Luoyang was under the control of Jian Shuo for many years. Although Jian Shuo was said to have been killed, the grassroots sergeants who had taken refuge in the eunuchs could not be eradicated for a while. General He Jin felt that it was necessary for him to control an army that was not infiltrated by eunuchs.

So He Jin sent a mass message to all the generals in charge of the army, hoping that these people could support some soldiers and horses to participate in the great cause of overthrowing the eunuchs. However, he did not expect that the Liu family who held the real power were either too far away or Not interested, but Dong Zhuo who was closer to Jingluo was the first to respond, and he also played a "chasing the evil of the king's side", which made General He Jin feel as warm as his mother's family.

By the way, there was another warlord leader at that time. After receiving the secret order from General He Jin, he immediately threw away the barren and miserable life of the border guards, packed up his things, left the border defense line, and defected to the Central Army. Unfortunately, his actions were slower than Dong Zhuo's. So a little bit, let Dong Zhuo grab the top spot, otherwise it's really hard to say what it will turn into.

  So Dong Zhuo is actually quite lucky.

  The general He Jin, who felt that someone was backing him, not only publicized Dong Zhuo's performances, but also became more and more hostile towards the eunuchs. The eunuchs who were frightened hurriedly ordered Dong Zhuo not to go to the capital anymore in the name of the emperor, but to stay on the spot.

   So Dong Zhuo set up camp in Mianchi, paying attention to the movements of the capital all the time.

How could a mere hundred li road stop Dong Zhuo's ambition? Dong Zhuo used all the tactics he used in war, and his scouts spread out. Every hour of the twelve hours, scouts reported the situation in Luoyang. Therefore, when Luoyang was on fire, and when many people were still ignorant, Dong Zhuo knew that there was a change in Luoyang for the first time, so he immediately pulled out his camp and led his army towards Luoyang overnight.

  ************

  To be honest, Fei Qian didn't expect that he would actually come across him while searching along the river bank.

   But looking at the two trembling people in front of them, who would have thought that the two top people in the Han Dynasty could be so embarrassed.

One, one, one, two and a half children, all covered in muddy water, their crowns fell off at some point, their hair was disheveled, and they looked terrified. If it wasn't for the texture of the clothes on their bodies and the gait on their feet that helped Fei Qian make a final determination, Maybe it was just passed on as a refugee.

  During the Han Dynasty, clothes should not be too casual. Who wears what clothes, if they wear the wrong clothes, it will be disrespectful at a young age, and even lose their official position and life at an older age!

  During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the unlucky boy Hou Tiantian of Wu'an was abolished from the marquis treatment and court office because of "disrespectful entering the palace while sitting in clothes". Of course, it is not only because of wearing inappropriate clothes, but also because of other factors, but at least it is put on the table and written in the history books aboveboard for this reason.

  So in the Han Dynasty, what kind of clothes to wear was really a big thing.

Fei Qian took a closer look with the light of the torch. Firstly, he was of the right age, and secondly, although it was said to be stained with muddy water, he could still see that he was wearing a dark blue dress and red walking. decorated.

  Although the heart has been determined, how can we recognize each other at this time?

   Immediately pushing the Jinshan and pouring the jade pillars to the ground, what a stupid person would do it.

  The best way right now is if you don’t tell me, I’ll just pretend I don’t know.

  The royal family also needs the face of the royal family!

Fei Qian took a few steps forward, walked up to the two children, and said, "Did you two get lost with your relatives? I am a new official in the imperial court. Not far from here is the village of the former Situ Cui Weikao. At this time, it is late at night. Han, why don't you go to the manor to take a rest first, and make plans after dawn?" No matter what, first find an excuse for the two people, so as to save them from revealing their true feelings immediately.

  The older child was still a little panicked and afraid that he didn't answer, but the younger one seemed much calmer, and replied instead of the older child: "That's very good."

Fei Qian greeted one or two Zhuang Ding to lead the way, first went to the village to prepare **** soup and hot water, walked two steps forward, turned around and stopped, took off his coat, put it on the older child, and said: " Wet clothes are the most anti-cold wind, don't feel the cold, please don't blame Xiaolang if you are rude."

  The older child really felt that the wind was blowing too cold, so he shivered and said thank you, wrapped Feiqian's coat, and finally felt a little warm, and stopped shivering all the time.

   Feiqian squatted down facing the child, and said softly: "There is still a long way to go, and it is difficult to travel at night. If you don't give up, how about I carry you there?"

   After a little hesitation, the little child also said thank you, and then gently put the two cold little wristbands on Fei Qian's shoulders.

  Fei Qian leaned forward slightly, then easily carried the child on his back, and turned his head to signal the older child to follow.

  In the night sky, the bright star river hangs upside down.

Fei Qian carried the child on his back, followed by an older child who wrapped his coat tightly, and walked forward slowly. The torch held by Zhuang Ding beside him flickered in the night wind, reflecting the figures of the three of them. On the ground, it dragged for a long time.

   Thanks Jinhe Qiuban book friend! Let us witness the unparalleled scenery of the Three Kingdoms together!
