Dong Shouye pondered for a while on the side of the case, and asked Wei Zhongdao, "I don't know what Brother Zhongdao thinks of Dong Zhuo and Xiliangjun?" ”

In the era in which Dong Shouye is now, most of the scholars need to talk freely about national affairs, or evaluate characters, which is a popular fashion, such as Xu Shao Xu Zijiang (that is, Cao Cao is the "traitor of Qingping, the hero of troubled times" The bull man), Xu Jing (Liu Bei does not like but has to let him be a high-ranking official) and others are famous all over the world for being good at appraising characters; Like Pang Degong and Sima Hui (Mr. Shui Jing) are also very good at commenting on current affairs and evaluating characters. That's why Dong Shouye has this question.

Wei Zhongdao took a sip of wine and replied: "Xiliang Dong Zhuo was born in the end of the world, he is the right of Xiliang Hao, he started with military merits, and was later favored by Zhang Huan, one of the three Mings in Liangzhou, and then soared to the top. When the Yellow Turban Moth Thieves rebelled, the official worshiped General Dongzhonglang and led the elite of the Northern Army to participate in the counterinsurgency. He was dismissed from office because of the unfavorable counterinsurgency. Later, Xiliang Bianzhang, Li Wenhou and others gathered to rebel, and it was reactivated by the imperial court, and the official worshiped the general. When the general He Jin was fighting with the Ten Standing Servants, he was recruited into Luoyang to help. As a result, He Jin died violently and the Beijing division was in chaos, Dong Zhuo led the 3,000 elite of the Xiliang Army to welcome the young emperor and Chen Liuwang in the Beibi Mountain, and then entered Luoyang City in one fell swoop, controlled the Beijing division, and mastered the government. ”

Dong Shouye nodded and said, "After such a pass, it is known to the world!" ”

Wei Zhongdao continued: "Not to mention this person's character, just because this person dares to enter Luoyang with 3,000 elite soldiers, you know that this person is decisive and decisive, and he is worthy of the name of a hero." ”

Dong Shouye nodded and said, "I heard that this is a plan of his son-in-law Li Ru. ”

Wei Zhongdao smiled and said, "This person has Zhang Liang and Chen Ping's clever strategy. It can be said that the wisdom is as deep as the sea, and it is the best in the world. At present, there is no comparable figure among the heroes in the world. It is really a dragon and phoenix for a while, Dong Zhuo can be assisted by this person, how fortunate he is! ”

Dong Shouye then asked: "I don't know what Brother Zhongdao thinks about moving the capital to Chang'an?" ”

Wei Zhongdao replied: "Chang'an City is located in Guanzhong, and Emperor Gaozu took it as the capital of the Han Dynasty and established the imperial industry for more than 200 years. Although Wang Mang usurped power and became emperor, the world was in turmoil. In the troubled times, Chang'an City changed hands repeatedly, attacked and broken the city several times, and was destroyed by the war and some were damaged. But the place of Guanzhong is still occupying the shape of victory. And agriculture is abundant, and the material is rich. Therefore, the Western Qin occupies this place and the East Imperial Six Kingdoms, although there are countless fierce generals, it is difficult to conquer the ministers like rain, and Wu Qi and Le Yi are also heroic for a while, and they have also fallen here! ”

Dong Shouye asked again: "Then in the opinion of Brother Zhongdao, can the Kwantung princes conquer Chang'an when they come?" ”

Wei Zhongdao replied: "The princes of Kwantung, but Er'er, if you want to conquer Hangu Pass and occupy Chang'an City, it is tantamount to a fool's dream. How about Yuan Benchu, Yuan Highway Brothers and the ancient famous generals Wu Qi and Le Yi? ”

Dong Shouye shook his head and replied: "Although the Yuan brothers are in the limelight now, I am afraid that their ability to use troops is only compared to Wu Qi and Le Yi. ”

Wei Zhongdao continued: "In front of Hangu Pass, there were millions of corpses, bleeding and drifting. Second, Yuan's ability to use soldiers is also far from Wu Qi and Le Yi. Moreover, the two Yuan brothers fought with each other, fighting for power and profit, and they could not cooperate sincerely, let alone conquer Hangu Pass. The princes of the Kwantung region are all tired of preserving their strength, and they are unwilling to die. If these people can do their best, although the elite of the Xiliang army can't withstand the number of people of the Kwantung princes! ”

Dong Shouye asked again: "I wonder what Brother Zhongdao thinks about the death of the young emperor?" ”

Wei Zhongdao pondered for a while, and then replied: "In the opinion of the younger brother, there are two sinners in the death of the young emperor?" ”

Dong Shouye said strangely: "How do you say this? ”

Wei Zhongdao replied: "Everyone in the world thinks that Dong Zhuo killed the Young Emperor, so Dong Zhuo must attach most of the guilt to the death of the Young Emperor." But in my opinion, if the Kwantung princes do not rebel against the imperial court, then the young emperor can also be a carefree prince and enjoy wealth and prosperity. ”

Dong Shouye asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Wei Zhongdao replied: "The Kwantung princes raised troops on the grounds that Dong Zhuo had deposed the emperor without authorization, and plotted to capture Luoyang and help the young emperor to regain the throne. Acting like this, the reason why Dong Zhuo killed the young emperor was to destroy the hope of the princes of the world. But all those who plot great things are in the name of righteousness, and the princes of Kwantung regard the restoration of the young emperor as the righteousness of the world. Now that the righteousness is gone, there is no reason for the Kwantung princes to continue to raise troops. ”

Dong Shouye said: "In this way, wouldn't it be of great benefit to the Xiliang Army to kill the young emperor. ”

Wei Zhongdao said: "Definitely! Definitely! Dong Zhuo was so bold that he killed the king. I'm afraid that I will lose the hope of the world from now on. The little hope that had been brought about by the rehabilitation of the party members and the promotion of the sluggish people was also lost. From now on, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people of the world to have hope for Dong Zhuo anymore! ”

Everyone in the world thinks that the young emperor is dead, who would have thought that Dong Shouye could unite with Li Ru to hide from his father and stage a play of hiding from the world?

Dong Shouye asked again: "In this way, isn't there no hope for the Xiliang Army?" ”

Wei Zhongdao replied: "This is not true, Brother Tai has heard that the imperial court has recently canonized a new general. ”

Dong Shouye could only choose to pretend to be confused at this time, and replied: "Brother Zhongdao, I can't hide it, the younger brother has just arrived in Chang'an, and he hasn't heard of it yet. ”

Seeing this, Wei Zhongdao didn't care, and continued: "This broken general's name is Dong Bai, and he is the son of Dong Zhuo. ”

Dong Shouye replied: "Isn't this move nepotism? ”

Wei Zhongdao said: "Definitely! This Dong Bai entered Luoyang with his father in the sixth year of Zhongping. At that time, the white wave thieves were ravaging Hedong, and Hedong Taishou Niu Fu lost the battle, so this son was ordered by his father to lead the troops to support Niu Fu and fight in Hedong. As a result, he shined in the battle of Hedong, assisting Niu to assist less than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and defeated nearly 100,000 white wave thieves. After that, it rose like a comet and shone brightly. In the battle of Tiger Prison Pass, his two sworn brothers grew up to be in the limelight, fought with Guan Yunchang, Zhang Fei and other fierce generals, and became famous all over the world. When the imperial capital moved westward, no one dared to pursue the heroes of the eastern part of the country, only Cao Cao was not afraid of hardships and dangers, and seemed to be pursuing, but he was ambushed by Xu Rong, the general of the Western Liang Army, and suffered heavy losses. Dong Bai assisted Xu Rong in defeating Cao Cao twice. The soldiers and horses commanded by Cao Cao and Zhang Miao were all wiped out. ”

Dong Shouye said: "I have also heard of the Battle of Hedong and the Battle of Bianshui, these two Dong Bai are just auxiliaries, the main generals are Niu Fu and Xu Rong respectively, Dong Bai's credit is probably added by his father, it is not his record!" ”

Wei Zhongdao smiled, and then said: "This statement is also quite reasonable, Dong Zhuoquan is all over the world, Niu Fu and Xu Rong are his direct generals, and he wants to make some military exploits for his son and establish prestige for his son. However, the latest battle should be Dong Bai's personal command, this battle Dong Bai defeated Sun Jian's army of more than 90,000 with 50,000 horses, and then crossed the river in Pingyin to attack Wang Kuang, and defeated Zhu Jun outside the Tiger Prison Pass, showing the demeanor of a generation of famous generals! ”
