Li Le was very honest this time, confronting Xu Huang five or six miles away every day, and retreating all the way when the scouts met. However, Wei Xuan took another risk, letting Bai Shu lead a thousand people into Jiangyi, and Jiangyi's defenders

Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, and then hearing that Wei Xuan had recaptured Xiangfen and Xiangling, and was now stationing troops in Xiangfen, his morale was greatly shaken, and he desperately resisted the rebels for a day. Wenxi's reinforcements also arrived, although there were only 500 people, plus

There are now more than 4,000 people from Baishu's 1,000 people and 3,000 young people who were hastily formed in Jiangyi City.

Reinforcements were stationed in Jiangyi city one after another, and Guo Tai and others also got the news. Originally, if there was no need to deal with Xu Huang and the three groups of thieves attacked the city together, the defenders would have suffered heavy casualties even if they could barely hold on. But now Li Le was defeated by Xu Huang first.

The lure was lost for a while, not to mention the loss of troops in Osaka, and the morale plummeted. Guo Tai and others began to be unclear about Wei Xuan's strength in Xiangfen, so a deadlock was formed!

The stalemate is naturally good news for the officers and soldiers. Wei Xuan has the opportunity to train troops in Xiangfen, and Anyi and Jiangyi can continue to recruit new soldiers.

Mrs. Guo then quickly sent someone to invite Yang Feng, hoping that he could join forces to capture Jiangyi and then go north to capture Xiangfen and Xiangling.

However, Mrs. Guo did not wait for Yang Feng, but instead waited for reinforcements from the court. Dong Zhuo of Xiliang led troops into the Hedong territory, and the forward Niu Fu had already arrived in Anyi! Hearing this, Mrs. Guo and others were shocked. Calculating the time, it was actually the same as that of Yang Feng before.

The estimate is about the same. It's just that Guo Tai and others spent one day from the Baibo Valley uprising to attack Xiangfen, two days on the way to Anyi, three or four days outside Anyi City, and another five or six days in Dongyi before getting the news.

It took two days to attack Yize, and it took four days to turn around and attack Jiangyi.

Twenty days are about to pass, and the Xiliang cavalry crossed the Yellow River and rushed to Anyi at a normal speed.

Now that the imperial reinforcements have arrived, Guo Tai and others regret that it is already too late. As infantrymen, they naturally cannot stay outside Jiangyi City to fight with the Xiliang cavalry. Therefore, there is no need to worry about Guo Tai and Li Le returning to Yize, while Hu Cai returns to Dongyi to gather the troops.

The four men prepared the troops and horses to fight against the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers.

Wei Xuan was a little surprised that Niu Fu came so quickly, but no matter who came, as long as he came on behalf of the imperial court, it would be a deterrent to the rebels.

Wei Xuan then quickly sent a messenger back to Anyi, telling the Wei family to treat the pioneer Niu Fu well. In fact, there is no need for Wei Xuan to explain it specifically. Dong Zhuo was once the governor of Hedong and very effectively suppressed the Yufuluo tribe of the Xiongnu. The Wei family also benefited.

Now they are rushing thousands of miles for reinforcements. The governor of Hedong and the big families in Anyi City are very polite to the reinforcements.

Wei Xuan felt very complicated when he thought about meeting the big devil in the history books of later generations. Since time travel, as he gradually understood the situation in the imperial court, he also knew which books were written and were not necessarily true, because the books were written by scholars.

, and Dong Zhuo was a warrior, so I don’t know how much he was painted in a bad light.

Whether in his previous life or after time travel, Wei Xuan's view of Dong Zhuo is different from ordinary people's. Not to mention that he fought all year round and violently subdued the Qiang people. From the time he was ordered to lead troops to the capital to monopolizing power and burning down Luoyang, he finally killed Wang Yun and Lu Buzhi.

What he has done in the past few years can be described as a hero.

Some people may say that Dong Zhuo is cruel, but they don’t know how he tried to please the scholars before he burned down Luoyang. In order to stabilize his power, he enfeoffed famous people to serve as prefectures and counties. He successively showed favor to the Yang family of Hongnong, the Xun family of Yingchuan, etc., and tolerated the Yuan family. At the end of the Han Dynasty,

How many of these heroic warlords in history could do this?

As a result, how did the scholar group treat him? Just because he was a warrior, those scholars who had been promoted and tolerant by him rose up in rebellion one after another. This was his revenge in anger.

Speaking of revenge, brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu led their private soldiers into the palace to protect themselves after their ally General He Jin was killed, and slaughtered all the eunuchs, including some without beards.

Ordinary people did not let go, so Zhang Rang and others were forced to take the Queen Mother and the Emperor hostage and flee.

In order to avenge the murder of his father, Cao Cao captured Xuzhou and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of people along the way.

Compared with these two people, Dong Zhuo is actually not too much. Before burning Luoyang, all the princes, nobles, relatives and ordinary people moved away. He was worried that the east of the river would be unstable and Luoyang would be difficult to defend, so he retreated to Chang'an. What he burned was the foundation of the scholar group.

.

Before that, his political wisdom should be relatively high among martial artists, much better than He Jin and others.

The Yellow Turban Uprising broke out in the first year of Zhongping. In June, Beizhonglang general Lu Zhi was dismissed by the court after being slandered by the Xiaohuangmenzuo faction. He appointed Dong Zhuo as Dongzhonglang general and took over the affairs of the Jizhou war zone. Dong Zhuo gave up the siege of Guangzong County.

, and led the main force north to attack Xiaquyang, where Zhang Bao was defending. Regardless of the record, a pure warrior could replace the famous and talented Lu Zhi, which shows Dong Zhuo's ability to lead troops.

As for why Dong Zhuo attracted a crusade from the eighteen princes, it was not because he was cruel, nor because he deposed the emperor, but because he was very smart to rob the fruits of victory of the scholar group represented by Yuan Shao at that time.

Some people think that Dong Zhuo's final success in taking control of the government was due to luck. Wei Xuan disagrees. Just when the scholar group united with the relatives and the eunuch group to fight fiercely, as a general, he had long seen that the strength of the Han Dynasty was exhausted, and he had already done so.

Ready.

After he successfully suppressed another Qiang rebellion, the imperial court conscripted Dong Zhuo as the Shaofu. Dong Zhuo refused to accept the order and wrote a letter to refuse: "My subordinates from Huangzhong and the Huns soldiers came to stop my car and begged me not to abandon them.

, I can't stop them, I can only stay and comfort them, and if the situation changes, I will report to the court." The court was very worried but had nothing to do.

In the spring and February of the sixth year of Zhongping, the Liangzhou rebels besieged Chencang County for more than 80 days without success, and retreated exhausted. Huangfu Song ordered the pursuit, but Dong Zhuo dissuaded him, believing that "Don't chase the poor aggressors, and don't force them if they return to the masses." Huangfu Song believed

: "The rebels are tired troops who have lost their fighting spirit, rather than returning to the masses and being poor bandits."

Later, Huangfu Song put Dong Zhuo in charge of the rear, and he led his army in pursuit, winning consecutive battles and beheading more than ten thousand people. The rebel leader died of illness shortly after escaping. Dong Zhuo therefore hated Huangfu Song very much.

Then the imperial court ordered Dong Zhuo to be the governor of Bingzhou. Although the governor was noble, he could not control too much military power. Therefore, Dong Zhuo hesitated when he arrived in Hedong, and did not hand over his troops to Huangfu Song who came to take over. He always firmly controlled his own military power.

His soldiers and horses waited for the situation to change. As Dong Zhuo expected, the Qiang people rebelled one after another, and Dong Zhuo was able to control a Xiliang cavalry. Finally, when He Jin arrived, Yuan Shao fainted and summoned soldiers and horses from other counties to the capital to intimidate the eunuchs.

and Queen Mother He.

Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. If he had chosen to take office alone in Bingzhou, he would not have been as respected as Ding Yuan by He Jin. How could he have the confidence to lead troops to Beijing? But Dong Zhuo thought more clearly than Yuan Shao and others, and understood the barrel of a gun.

Out of power.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were so powerful that two consecutive party restrictions severely hit the scholar group, and they had to join forces with foreign companies to barely fight against the eunuchs. With the help of the Yellow Turban Uprising, the court lifted the party restrictions, and then the scholar group began to rise.

The eunuch group would not sit still and wait for death. Facing the aggressive relatives and the scholar group, the two sides finally broke up. Yuan Shao used the help of his relatives and generals to summon foreign troops to oppress the Queen Mother He and the eunuchs. As a result, the eunuchs took the risk and killed He Jin directly.

Yuan Shao finally made a decisive move and led his private soldiers into the palace. Regardless of whether he was considered a rebel or not, his goal was achieved and all the eunuchs were slaughtered.

However, he never expected that one of the eunuchs would kidnap the emperor out of the palace. While other soldiers, such as Ding Yuan and Qiao Mao, were waiting in place, Dong Zhuo made a decisive decision and led his troops into the capital. Fortunately, he met

The emperor on the run.

So he successfully escorted the emperor back to the palace in the name of King Qin. Before Yuan Shao and others had time to react, they took control of Luoyang's defense.

The problem came, Yuan Shao and others waited until their relatives were killed, the eunuchs were slaughtered, and the scholar group was finally able to take sole control of the government. As a result, Dong Zhuo not only intervened, but also abandoned the young emperor, and quickly took complete control of the court.

Dong Zhuo was even smarter later. He deposed the emperor and became a clansman with the Empress Dowager Dong. Dong Zhuo then became a relative, and first served as Sikong. Then he promoted Taiwei Liu Yu to Grand Sima, and then took over as Taiwei himself. Then he won over

Yang Biao, who was also the fourth generation and third prince, became Sikong and divided the scholar group.

Seeing that the fruits of victory he had planned for many years were swallowed up completely by Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shao could not sit still.

Faced with the scholar group that Dong Zhuo had successfully divided, Dong Zhuo controlled both power and name, and had a hundred thousand soldiers, all Yuan Shao could do was to unite all the forces that could be united to rebel! Among the princes who attacked Dong Zhuo, there were three brothers, Yuan Shao,

There are five or six such as Zhang Miao and Cao Cao who were Yuan Shao's disciples, and others such as Jizhou Mu Han Fu are also disciples of the Yuan family. In short, the so-called princes' attack on Dong Zhuo is just a crazy counterattack by Yuan Shao's group who failed in the struggle for power. In the end, it was because of the alliance leader Yuan Shao

Jizhou didn't get it, so he couldn't bear to lose his soldiers and let it go.

To say that the rule of the Han Dynasty was fundamentally shaken, in addition to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it was the crusade against Dong Zhuo launched by Yuan Shao and others. This legally allowed the prefectures and county chiefs to rationalize rebellion and separatism, and the Han royal family's

The last piece of covering up shame and evil was torn off.

As for Dong Zhuo's final failure, it is inseparable from his belief that scholars can be influenced and differentiated. He was too naive. Don't you scholars pay attention to loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness?

I, Dong Zhuo, listened to your suggestions, enfeoffed Guandong, and roped in the scholar group for my own use. As a result, you all betrayed me, so he became angry, and the consequences were very serious. He moved the capital to Chang'an and burned Luoyang!

Dong Zhuo also thought about ruling the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, but the prejudices of the scholars made Dong Zhuo become more and more isolated.

The then group that wanted to control the power of the imperial court had no soldiers and horses, so they had to leave Guandong. They all chose to separate themselves and develop and strengthen themselves. The Han Dynasty fell apart! The idea of ​​​​the scholar group represented by Yuan Shao was that they would rather break the jade than give it to domestic slaves.
