Chapter 57: The Grievances of Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao
Dong Shouye was relieved to see his father agree, and after a while, he said: "Father, the child has always wanted to ask his father about something, I wonder if the father can solve the child's doubts?" ”
Dong Zhuo said with a smile: "You and I are father and son, but anyone who knows for the father can sue you, and there can be any secrets between father and son."
Seeing this, Dong Shouye said: "The child has always wanted to know why his father wanted to enter Beijing in the first place, and why he was able to control the government. ”
Dong Zhuo's face changed when he heard this, and Dong Shouye also secretly felt bad when he saw this, and he might have hit the muzzle of the gun. After a while, Dong Zhuo finally sighed and said, "Okay, anyway, my father will tell you about this matter sooner or later, since you mentioned it today, my father will come to you one by one." ”
So he began to tell the thrilling past.
It turned out that after the death of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, the general He Jin was in power and competed for power with the Ten Standing Servants, He Jin had an advantage compared with the Ten Standing Servants, and he could get rid of the Ten Standing Servants in one fell swoop, but there was a change in the middle that He Jin's sister Queen He.
The reason why Empress He was made the queen is that the ten permanent servants have made great contributions. It can be said that there would be no Queen He without the Ten Standing Attendants. This also responds to He Jin's brother He Miao's sentence: "Share wealth with the ten permanent servants." ”
Queen He was very annoyed by He Jin's behavior of wanting to kill the Ten Standing Servants, so she did everything possible to stop it, and He Miao also opposed He Jin's killing of the Ten Standing Servants. At this time, He Jin began to waver, and it was difficult to make up his mind.
At this time, Yuan Shao, the leading figure in the Qingliu, saw that He Jin was vacillating, so he urged He Jin to recruit local warlords into Beijing to help He Jin.
He Jin really listened to Yuan Shao's strategy.
Dong Zhuo was among those who were drafted, and it was not only He Jin who contacted Dong Zhuo, but also Yuan Shao and the Ten Standing Attendants who also contacted Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Dong Zhuo wanted to survive as a speculator. He did not have a clear reply to Yuan Shao's overtures to the ten permanent servants, but corresponded to He Jin's call, because He Jin represented the imperial court.
Dong Zhuo led his troops to the vicinity of Luoyang.
Before Dong Zhuo could enter Luoyang, He Jin died unexpectedly, and after Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, all the ten permanent servants died.
Dong Zhuo faced two choices, one was to do it himself, protect the Son of Heaven, and then take charge of the imperial court; The other is to support the Yuan family as wings and help the Yuan family to take charge of the power of the imperial court.
Things have developed to this point, the supreme power is in front of us, and everyone wants to fight.
Dong Zhuo chose the former, saw the opportunity, and quickly made a move, rushed to Beibi Mountain, and controlled the little emperor in his hands.
At this time, Yuan Shao thought that He Jin and the Ten Standing Servants were all dead, and there was no one in Luoyang City who could be used as an opponent, so he began to kill unscrupulously and wantonly kill all the eunuchs in Luoyang City, washing away the shame of the party for many years.
Just when Yuan Shao was complacent there, Dong Zhuo had already accused the little emperor of entering Luoyang.
The imperial power is supreme, and Dong Zhuo is ordered by the Son of Heaven to quartet.
Yuan Shao was dumbfounded, originally thought that Dong Zhuo would throw himself into himself and help him take charge of the government, because Yuan Shao really couldn't figure out how a rude warrior should govern, and the country had to be governed by the family. Dong Zhuo doesn't have any foundation in Luoyang City!
Dong Zhuo's actions can be said to be lightning fast, and before Yuan Shao could react, Dong Zhuo had already succeeded.
Yuan Shao thought that even after Dong Zhuo succeeded, he would contact him to take charge of the government and share power.
Dong Zhuo still did not do this, but stepped up his troops and horses into Luoyang City, trying to control Luoyang by force. At this time, even if Yuan Shao wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo, it was too late, and the best opportunity had been missed.
In just a few days, the shape of Luoyang City has changed dramatically, which makes people unprepared.
Even so, Dong Zhuo was unable to achieve effective control over the government, because his prestige was not enough, and his political power was not enough. In Yuan Shao's view, Dong Zhuo still needs the Yuan family at this time, and he still has to share power with the Yuan family.
However, Dong Zhuo did not share power with Yuan Shao.
Dong Zhuo chose to depose the Son of Heaven Liu Wei and let Liu Xie, the king of Chenliu, be the emperor. The candidate for specific cooperation did not choose the incomparable Yuan Shao, but chose Yuan Kui, another old guy of the Yuan family.
Yuan Kui is an old man who has experienced countless court situations, and can be said to be a real old fritter, this kind of person will not fall lightly, but can be left and right. But this kind of person has an obvious flaw, that is, they are not willing to take risks. Take Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing as an example, if he can choose to take the risk and directly support Yuan Shao to lead his troops to kill Dong Zhuo, maybe this world would have been his Yuan family a long time ago.
Yuan Kui chose to cooperate with Dong Zhuo to pull the young emperor Liu Wei off the emperor's throne and help Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, to the dragon chair. In return, Dong Zhuo worshipped him as the prince of the dynasty, and his position was higher than Dong Zhuo.
When Yuan Kui chose to compromise with Dong Zhuo, it represented the submission of the strongest political force in Luoyang City to Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shao can feel that the general trend has gone, in Jingshi, he can no longer be Dong Zhuo's opponent, it can be said that Dong Zhuo's power in Luoyang has taken root, and Yuan Shao can no longer shake it.
Yuan Shao's strength is extremely strong, and his personal reputation is unmatched, but because of Yuan Kui and Yuan Shu's existence, he cannot represent the Yuan family. Therefore, if you want to regain the supreme power that you have lost, you can only find another way.
Yuan Shao chose to stay away from Luoyang, a place of right and wrong, to develop his strength locally, just like when Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu left the first emperor Liu Xuan. Yuan Shao chose the same path as Liu Xiu and also went to Hebei.
Yuan Shao has always been a resourceful person, and he can't leave Luoyang without a little backhand. Shangshu Zhou Bi and Chengmen Captain Wu Qiong are both the younger brothers of Yuan Shao, after Yuan Shao left Luoyang, these two took the initiative to move closer to Dong Zhuo and gained Dong Zhuo's trust, and then recommended Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Zhi, and Zhang Miao to serve as pastoral guards in the local area. Dong Zhuo didn't feel anything wrong, and readily agreed.
In fact, this was all Yuan Shao's previous strategy. These people are either friends with the Yuan family, or Yuan Shao's sworn friends, or they are protégés of the Yuan family. Han Fu is the protégé of the Yuan family, Liu Dai and Yuan Shao are close friends, Yuan Shao once let his wife and children take care of him during the war against Gongsun Zhan; Kong Ling, Zhang Zhi and the Yuan family are better, Zhang Miao is Yuan Shao's sworn friend, known as a friend of Run.
Liu Dai and Zhang Miao are in the east of Luoyang City in Yanzhou, Zhang Shi is in the south of Luoyang City in Nanyang, Kong Ling is in the southwest of Luoyang City in Yuzhou, and Han Fu is in the north of Luoyang City in Jizhou.
Such an arrangement secretly surrounded Luoyang City from three directions. Once Yuan Shao gathered troops to make an incident, these people would immediately send troops to respond, tightly surround Luoyang City, and when the time came, it would be easy to break through Luoyang and recapture the one that originally belonged to Yuan Shao.
Whoever chats is not as good as others, this ploy did not succeed. Zhang Zhi was killed by Sun Jian and died; Han Fu repented and guarded against Yuan Shao; Kong Ling fell ill and also died. This encirclement directly became fragmented, and it was no longer possible to form an effective force, and Yuan Shao's good strategy failed again.
After listening to Dong Zhuo's narration, Dong Shouye realized that this Yuan Shao was so powerful.
I really don't accept it, I used to underestimate him!
