Chapter 85: Lintao Dong Zhongying
However, it is said that there is a person named Dong Zhuo and Dong Zhongying in Lintao, Liangzhou, whose father was a county lieutenant in the Lun clan in Yingchuan, and he rarely tasted Youqiang.
Lintao is located in the south of Lanzhou, Gansu Province in the later generations, and is a place where the Qiang, Hu and Han people live together.
Dong Zhuo made friends with some Qiang leaders here, and at the same time practiced a skillful skill of soldiers and horses, with extraordinary strength, two belts and two swords, and galloped left and right.
For this reason, he was favored by the state leaders and appointed him as the soldier and horse Peng who was responsible for catching thieves, and most of the people Dong Zhuo captured were the Qianghu people he was very familiar with.
Therefore, Dong Zhuo has repeatedly succeeded in succeeding, often breaking it, and winning thousands of tricks, so that the local Qianghu people are afraid of him.
Dong Zhuo was born in a wealthy local wealthy family. At that time, Min County was a remote area, adjacent to the Qiang people in the northwest. Zhuo has been pampered since he was a child, and he has formed an indulgent, willful, rough and fierce character when he was a teenager.
He is a young man, he tastes Youqiang, and he is rough and strategic.
In order to protect himself, the leader of the Qiang tribe, Hao Shuai, tried his best to cater to Dong Zhuo and became friendly with him, so as to be safe for the time being.
Local tycoons often came to visit with a large number of livestock and belongings, and called Dong Zhuo brothers.
He was very familiar with the situation there, and when he saw that the Qiang people were so reverent of him, he thought about how to use and control them, cultivate and recruit cronies among the Qiang people, and lay the foundation for his long-term development in the future.
So, under the trend of ambition, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to spend his family property, whenever the Qiang people came to the house as a guest, he would kill cattle and slaughter sheep to entertain the Qiang people, in order to obtain their support and support for him.
On the one hand, the Qiang people were afraid of Dong Zhuo's fierceness, and on the other hand, they were grateful to Dong Zhuo's boldness, so they all attached themselves to him and were willing to listen to his dispatch.
Once, a Qiang man saw that Dong Zhuo's cattle and sheep were slaughtered, so he rushed thousands of cattle from far away and gave them to Dong Zhuo.
In addition to making friends with the Qiang people. Dong Zhuo also paid attention to maintaining his position and influence among the local powers, and relied on his extraordinary ability to win over and merge other forces, and constantly consolidate and expand his own power.
He often played the role of a ranger and enjoyed a reputation as a warrior in the local area.
At the same time, Dong Zhuo also collected a large number of frustrated and down-and-out scoundrels, who were moved by Dong Zhuo's righteousness, and later followed him with all their hearts.
At that time, Dong Zhuo took up the post of state soldier Ma Peng, responsible for leading troops to patrol the border fortress and maintain local law and order.
So. Dong Zhuo laid a solid foundation for the future development of his power by controlling more Qiang people.
Suddenly, Dong Zhuo became a well-known figure in Longxi, whether it was in the government or in the people, Dong Zhuo had a pivotal position.
With the continuous expansion of his power and the successive rise of his status, he seems to be no longer satisfied with the status of a remote and powerful person, and believes that he needs a broader political space.
So, he began to gather strength even further. Waiting for opportunities to develop.
Soon, the Eastern Han court was anxious to solve the Xiqiang problem.
This is an extremely important development opportunity for Dong Zhuo.
The Western Qiang issue has always been the most difficult ethnic issue for the Eastern Han government: since the second year of the Yongchu Dynasty, the Qiang people have been constantly rebelling. The scope is quite broad and lasts for a long time.
During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiqiang issue not only did not subside in the slightest, but became even more powerful.
The Qiang people could not bear the cruel exploitation and oppression of the local officials of the Han Dynasty. Constantly killing Han officials and occupying prefectures and counties.
In the face of the Qiang people's resistance, the Eastern Han government, which was worried about internal and external troubles, was helpless at all. had to ask for help from the local Haoqiang, wanting to use their strength to alleviate the Xiqiang crisis.
At that time, the local officials in Longxi, who knew Dong Zhuo's details, strongly recommended Dong Zhuo to the imperial court.
In the tenth year of Yanxi and the first year of Yongkang, Dong Zhuo served as Yulinlang and commanded the Yulin Army of Yuanjun.
Soon, he was promoted to military commander and followed Zhang Huan, the general of Zhonglang, to conquer the rebellious Qiang people in the state.
During the battle, Dong Zhuo tried his best to express himself, giving full play to his advantages of being brave and strong, rushing and killing, and opening bows left and right.
Due to his outstanding achievements, he was promoted to Langzhong because of his merits, and later he was promoted to Guangwu Ling, the northern lieutenant of the county guard, and the captain of the Western Regions.
This time, there was another rebellion in Xiqiang, and the imperial court used Zhang Wen, who was born in Nanyang, which was really a helpless move.
Liangzhou Sanming refers to the three outstanding military generals who also belonged to the ancient Liangzhou people at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty: Huangfu Gui, Zhang Huan and Duan Cheng.
Huangfu Gui is Wei Ming, Zhang Huan is Ranming, and Duan Cheng is Ji Ming.
Because the three of them all have a clear character, and they all made great contributions to the governance of Qiang almost at the same time, so at that time, the Beijing division was called Liangzhou Sanmingyun.
These three people have had outstanding achievements in the Qiang War, and they are also very prestigious among the Qiang people. However, the three men were divided into two camps when it came to suppression.
Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan agreed with Fu, while Duan Cheng agreed with Fu. The Han Dynasty made outstanding achievements in foreign wars, and repeatedly appeased and surrendered foreigners with his kindness, making the north tranquil for a while.
Zhang Huan later entered the court, was used by the eunuchs, and led the army to attack Dou Wu. Afterwards, he blamed himself and refused to accept the title. Worship Shaofu, move to Dasi Nong, and go up to avenge Dou Wu and others.
Soon moved too often, and was framed and dismissed for offending the eunuchs. In the end, he returned to his hometown to teach his disciples and no longer went out.
Huangfu Gui was born in a family of generals, and he is quite knowledgeable and familiar with the art of war.
In his early years, he served as the county Gong Cao, Shang Ji Peng, and Lang Zhong, and was too punctual for Taishan, and successfully quelled the uncle and grandson Wuji uprising.
Later, he successively served as Zhonglang General and Duliao General, and repeatedly defeated and subdued the Qiang people, and alleviated the contradictions between Han and Qiang, and became the captain of the Qiang Guard.
In the third year of Xiping, Huangfu Gui died at the age of seventy-one and was given the gift of Dasi Nong.
Duan Ying, who was once made a captain, was counterattacked by the Shizi group because of his frequent contact with the eunuch group, and committed suicide in prison.
Although all three of them died and retreated, their influence still exists.
Huangfu Gui's son, Huangfu Song, is now the Taishou of the North and is a well-deserved leader in Liangzhou. If the Spirit Emperor was still a little wary, it would be impossible for him to continue to grow.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Wen arrived, he supported Dong Zhuo and confronted Huangfu Gui.
It can be said that Xiqiang's rebellion was due to the decline of Sanming, and the crusade army of the imperial court fell into deep internal friction.
No matter how powerful Dong Zhuo used to be, in the eyes of the upper echelons, he was just a middle-level general.
In order to get rid of this situation, the Youzhou Army, as foreign aid, was allocated to Dong Zhuo's account by Zhang Wen.
I have to say that Liangzhou and Youzhou are both frontier places, and the customs and customs on both sides are almost the same, and they are both relatively bold.
As soon as Xu Rong, who led the army, saw Dong Zhuo, he was deeply impressed by him and called him the lord, and from then on, Dong Zhuo's strength began to expand day by day.
In the past, no matter how influential he had been in the land of Xiqiang, his subordinates were all bold people, and basically no one knew how to train soldiers.
As soon as Xu Rong arrived, he made up for his shortcomings. It can be said that Dong Zhuo's rise has been unstoppable. (To be continued.) )
