In fact, people like us who analyze historical events are just complaining about our personal opinions. As for who complains more logically, more nutritious, and more valuable, it depends on whether the audience's eyes are bright.

Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and after he defeated Li Su, he felt very panicked in his heart. It happened that there was a night terror in the barracks for no reason, and Niu Fu wanted to abandon the army and escape, but he was killed by his cronies on the left and right, and his head was sent to Chang'an.

There is some information contained in this narrative. Niu Fuhui felt panicked for two reasons: first, he was worried that the imperial court would send a large army to suppress him, and the Liangzhou army was not unified internally and was unable to resist; The second is that he is afraid that others will betray themselves for self-preservation, and even other troops will surrender to the imperial court, leaving him alone here. At this time, it happened that there was a night terror in the camp, and Niu Fu thought that everyone else had rebelled, so he wanted to abandon the army and flee when he had a ghost in his heart. If he had escaped, it would have been a lucky thing. However, his cronies killed him at this moment in order to protect themselves.

The history books say that his cronies betrayed him because they coveted his wealth, but in fact, the main reason was actually to protect himself, and he couldn't even save his life, who still had the strength to covet that little wealth. Sima Guang probably thought the same way, so he did not incorporate this view into his own writings. After Niu Fu was killed, some of the Liangzhou soldiers under him should have surrendered to the imperial court, that is, the rebels who later opened the city gate and let Li Dao and others enter the city.

Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji and others returned from looting in the Yingchuan area and found that their boss Niu Fu was dead, so they asked the court for pardon for the death penalty. However, Wang Yun rejected their request on the grounds that they could not issue two pardons within a year. Li Dao and others were very frightened that the imperial court would not pardon their capital crimes, so they came up with the idea of disbanding the army and fleeing separately. Then, after some persuasion by Jia Xu, everyone swore an alliance together, led thousands of men and horses to Chang'an, and constantly gathered Liangzhou soldiers and horses from various departments along the way, under the guise of avenging Dong Zhuo, to fight for a turnaround in the situation.

Regarding what Jia Xu said to Li Dao and others, I think many people know it. It can be seen from what he said that he is unwilling at this moment. Previously, after discussion, Wang Yun and others ordered the generals under Dong Zhuo to disband all the troops and then go home. And for those generals, they must be unwilling to give up their military power, so they all responded to the call of Li Dao and others. Originally, after Li Dao's gang disbanded the troops, they would be fine if they each shared their belongings and went home. Who knew that a Jia Xu suddenly poked a stick from it, if it wasn't for his unwillingness, what was the reason? And the reason why Jia Xu's status in history is lower than that of others is not because others don't know that his strategy is superior, but because his actions are a bit of a chaotic tendency.

When Wang Yun learned about this incident, he asked Hu Wencai and Yang Zhenxiu, who were known to be prestigious in Liangzhou, to meet with Li Dao and others to explain the misunderstanding. However, when Wang Yun met with them, he said very unceremoniously, which made the two of them feel dissatisfied, so after that, the two ostensibly went to meet Li Dao and others, but in fact they wanted to summon the army from all walks of life.

What this information describes is actually nonsense. For a group of chaotic people who want to attack the imperial court, it is a matter of saying something unkind, how can a truly prestigious celebrity be so cautious. In my opinion, it was probably Hu Wencai and Yang Zhenxiu who felt that they had not been able to get any benefit from doing things under Wang Yun, so they rebelled after leaving Chang'an. It's such a simple and straightforward thing that it's hard to figure out who the person who wrote this material is trying to fool.

Li Dao and others gathered soldiers and horses along the way, and when they arrived in Chang'an, there were more than 100,000 people. After that, Li Dao and others met with Dong Zhuo's old generals Fan Chou and Li Meng, and surrounded Chang'an together. Due to the high walls of Chang'an, the rebels could not attack. In this way, the siege continued until the eighth day, when some of the soldiers in Lü Bu's army rebelled and led Li Dao's army into the city, and Li Dao and others set up troops to plunder in the city.

The so-called soldiers in the information do not refer to the old soldiers, but to those Liangzhou soldiers who surrendered earlier. From the Han Dynasty to the Six Dynasties, the ethnic minorities in the west and southwest of the Central Plains were collectively referred to as the Suo people, and the regions were probably in the southeastern part of present-day Gansu, the western part of Sichuan, the eastern part of Yunnan, and the western part of Guizhou. Therefore, some people also think that the soldiers refer to the soldiers of Shu County.

According to the "Heroes", when Li Wei and others were not yet put into the city by the rebels, Guo Bi led the army to be stationed in the north of the city, and Lü Bu went out of the city to ask Guo Bi to fight alone, and then defeated Guo Bi. The reason why Lu Bu wanted to go head-to-head with the other party's generals was probably to frustrate the opponent's spirit. However, after Guo Yan was defeated, the other Bacheng was no longer willing to accept the heads-up, otherwise if Lu Bu injured these people one by one, it would be a big blow to the morale of the Liangzhou soldiers, and by the way, it could also boost the morale of the soldiers defending the city. If it weren't for the internal rebellion of the soldiers defending the city later, Li Dao and others would have been attacking the city, and their morale would gradually be exhausted, and once the food was exhausted, Lu Bu would not need to fight anything, and they would all be scattered.

However, after the city was destroyed, it must have been a big blow to the morale of the defenders in the city. The rebels are not only strong in battle, but also relatively large in number, no matter how strong Lu Bu and the others' martial arts are, it is impossible to withstand the attacks of so many people under such a disadvantage. And those battle examples similar to those described in Pinghua and Romance, which can resist an army with the strength of one person, are completely artistic imagination and do not conform to the facts. If it is said that a small number of enemy troops are not sophisticated, it is still possible that one man will be able to defeat ten thousand people, and at the moment it is obvious that the disparity in strength is too great. Many people's minds are more susceptible to exaggerated descriptions, so it is inevitable that they will take history as biased.

Lü Bu and Li Dao and others could not win the battle in the city, so they hung Dong Zhuo's head on the saddle and led hundreds of cavalry to break through and escape. Then Lu Bu stopped outside the Qingzuo Gate and Zhao Wang Yun left together. Wang Yun said that he could not leave the emperor and flee by himself, and said to Lu Bu: "When you arrive in Kanto, you should encourage the generals more and warn them to take the emperor and the overall situation of the country to heart." ”

There is a question that we can't help but think about, did Lu Bu come to Kanto just to escape? I don't think so. Judging from the current situation, although the generals of the Kwantung region are attacking each other for territory, they are still nominally officials of the imperial court, and they themselves have also raised troops under the slogan of punishing thieves and ministers, so morally they should send troops to suppress the rebellion for the emperor. Lu Bu himself said that he came to Kanto to ask for troops to be sent to the west to welcome the Son of Heaven and recover Luoyang, but the generals only cared about attacking each other for their own interests, and did not want to take the overall situation of the country to heart.

From Lu Bu's words, we can actually understand a truth: when the people of this country no longer love her, then she has already existed in name only. That's why we emphasize patriotism.
