Chapter 874: Dong Zhuo was rebellious, Zhang Liao was angry
Now Dong Zhuo is eye-to-eye with Yuan Shao, as Dong Zhuo, who was born in a sling and finally reached the pinnacle of life, has a reckless temperament in his personality, for Yuan Shao, who is extremely arrogant and has a very strong self-esteem, he is a little unsightly, and he could bear it before, but now Dong Zhuo can't bear it at all.
The top ten generals who are also divided by His Majesty and Ding Yuan, in Dong Zhuo's opinion, in addition to the five generals who have been divided before, the rest of the generals, he will not care too much, both sides are the same identity, who is weaker than whom, he Dong Zhuo also has military talent, and Dong Zhuo, who is not corrupted now, is very strong.
Although Yuan Shao said that there are many generals who support him, but there are no longer a few of him Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo's real military ability is actually stronger than Yuan Shao, at least Dong Zhuo's family is not as strong as Yuan Shao, although Yuan Shao was born as an illegitimate child, but after all, he is still a son-in-law in the end, and he is countless times stronger than Dong Zhuo's recklessness.
But the achievements between the two sides are too far apart, Dong Zhuo at least became the prime minister, although the reputation is not good, but he really did a great career, in fact, the achievements are extremely high, and they are famous in history, and they can do it to such a point, which can be described as extremely strong!
And Yuan Shao, although he is also very powerful, he is powerful in the four states of Hebei, and when he gets up in the morning, Cao Cao has to call him brother, but in fact, he is still very bad compared to Dong Zhuo's achievements, it can be said that except for the Sima family of Wei State, even Dong Zhuo's achievements are almost the same as Cao Cao.
After all, it was too difficult to be able to do what Dong Zhuo was at the beginning. It is not an exaggeration to evaluate the top three heroes among the three kingdoms.
And Dong Zhuo's subsequent degeneration is actually related to the sling mentality. But when he didn't achieve great things, Dong Zhuo's greatness still didn't need to be said.
And when Yuan Shao heard Dong Zhuo's words, he was also slightly angry, and there was a trace of anger on his handsome face, for a person with strong self-esteem like him. This is a great insult!
"Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying, what do you mean by this!"
Yuan Shao was extremely angry and said slightly angrily.
"Hahahaha. What do you mean by me, Dong Zhuo, what did you Yuan Benchu say! ”
Dong Zhuo said arrogantly, and at this time, Zhang Liao saw that the two of them were actually falling out, and immediately said in a deep voice: "You are here to quarrel." Or for His Majesty. If you come to quarrel, then please go back, I will be ordered to be in danger, and I have the order of His Majesty, so I don't dare to wait! ”
It was the first time for Zhang Liao to be so angry, and his voice was loud, and all the generals were slightly stunned and looked at each other. Now it's the first time they've seen Zhang Liao like this, Zhang Liao was such a gentle personality before. It's unbelievable that this is the way it is now!
But it is precisely because of this that Zhang Liao's anger can be seen, the current Zhang Liao is indeed extremely angry, and now Zhang Liao is angry, even if he is unruly, and then he has strong self-esteem, Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao did not dare to speak out immediately, after all, not only Zhang Liao's prestige is here, but also their lord's affairs, Ding Yuan's affairs, and national affairs are the most important for them.
"Dong Zhongying, you are a heroic man from the Northwest, skilled in bows and horses, and indeed a general, which is known to a certain family, but your majesty is important, or your temper is important, no matter how strong your ability is, if you lose your restraint, then it can only become a disaster, this point, a certain family hopes you can keep in mind!"
Zhang Liao's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said coldly, he immediately saw Dong Zhuo's unruliness, that is a kind of unruliness in his bones, a little deeper than Lu Bu, Lu Bu is that kind of arrogance, and Dong Zhuo is in his bones, there is that kind of restless factor!
At this point, Zhang Liao's ability to see people is not the slightest difference, Dong Zhuo is indeed like this, coupled with his reckless background, in the original history of the Three Kingdoms, he has an amazing appearance, because of his strong ability, and finally reached the point where one person is above ten thousand words, but it is because of his ultimate arrogance and recklessness that he quickly became corrupted, and finally lost the opportunity to truly win the world!
Dong Zhuo's ability is not as simple as described in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which is recorded in history, and Dong Zhuo's ability to lead the troops at the beginning is indeed there, and his military ability can be said to be extraordinary, and only he is the one who deterred the chaotic army in the northwest.
In the winter of the first year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty (184 AD), the thieves of Xianlingqiang of Beidi County and Caohan County rebelled, supported Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou of the Qiang nationality as generals, and killed Leng Zheng, the captain of the Qiang Guard. Later, Boyu and Li Wenhou abducted the Han people Bian Zhang and Han Sui in Jincheng (northwest of present-day Lanzhou City, Gansu).
In the continuous annexation wars, the power of Bian Zhang and Han Sui increased rapidly, not only killing Chen Yi, the Taishou of Jincheng, but also leading a large army in the name of crusading against eunuchs in the second year of Zhongping.
At the critical juncture when the Eastern Han regime was facing overthrow, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty hurriedly mobilized and requisitioned almost all the strong generals to resist the attack of Bian Zhang and Han Sui. As a result, Dong Zhuo was relocated to the Zhonglang general, Bai Poyu general, and Sikong Zhang Wen, Zhijin Wu Yuan Peng, Dangkou general Zhou Shen and others led more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry to garrison Meiyang (now north of Wugong County, Yongzhou) to guard the garden mausoleum.
At that time, Bian Zhang and Han Sui also happened to enter Meiyang. The two armies faced each other, and on the first day of the new year, because the Qiang soldiers were fierce and brave, and their morale was strong, the government army led by Dong Zhuo was attacked, and the situation was unfavorable. Zhang Wen and others were anxious, for fear that the court would blame them; However, Dong Zhuo looked at ease and comforted them, saying: "Although we are in a disadvantageous position now, as long as we wait for the opportunity and stabilize our feelings, we will definitely be able to repel the enemy." If even those of us who are the commanders of the army panic, it will inevitably shake the morale of the army and give the enemy an opportunity to attack us! ”
Sure enough, as Dong Zhuo expected, one night in mid-November, the moon was in the sky and the stars were brilliant. As the warring sides were constantly in a tense state of confrontation with each other, all the soldiers were exhausted by the war, except for the sentries who were in charge of their respective guards. In the middle of the night, a meteor more than ten zhang long suddenly appeared in the quiet night sky, and half of the sky was like a pillar, which startled the war horses in the military camp of Bian Zhang and Han Sui. The sleeping soldier woke up stunned and overwhelmed by this sudden strange phenomenon. They thought that this was an ominous sign of losing the war, and they did not want to stay in Meiyang to fight anymore, and they all wanted to return to the old Jincheng. Suddenly, the entire barracks was in turmoil, and it could not be quiet for a long time.
In the early morning of the next day, the Eastern Han army's Tanma quickly reported this urgent military situation to Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo heard this, he was overjoyed, thinking that he could take advantage of this heavenly opportunity to raid Bian Zhang and Han Sui's troops, kill him by surprise, and completely destroy the enemy. As a result, Dong Zhuo immediately took urgent action and joined forces with Bao Hong and others.
Due to the impact on the morale of the opposing army and the lack of strict organization, most of the soldiers had no ideological and defensive preparations at all, and suffered heavy blows in an instant, with countless casualties. Dong Zhuo won a big victory; Bian Zhang and Han Sui were defeated and left Yuzhong (now the central part of Yuzhong County, Lanzhou City, Gansu Province).
Dong Zhuo saw that the opportunity was rare, so he immediately led an army with Zhou Shen and others to pursue the deserters. Because Jincheng is the strength of the Qiang people, the power is omnipresent, and there are troops stationed everywhere, and Dong Zhuo and others blindly went deep into the Xiqiang, and committed the taboo of "do not chase the poor", and in the process of chasing, they were besieged by tens of thousands of Qiang people. The lone Eastern Han army was completely encircled by the Western Qiang troops. Because the reinforcements from the rear could not arrive in time, within a few days, the food and grass of the various armies were exhausted, and the besiegers not only did not retreat in the slightest, but attacked more fiercely, and the situation was very critical.
At that time, the army led by Zhou Shen and others was completely defeated, and only Dong Zhuo's army was designed to escape. The calm and experienced Dong Zhuo did not panic under such circumstances, and he ordered the soldiers to build a high embankment in the river to cut off the flow of water upstream. The Qiang people were puzzled by this.
At this time, Dong Zhuo's reconnaissance came back and news came that the Eastern Han army was catching fish and shrimp in the dam all day long. The Xiqiang generals thought that Dong Zhuo's army was exhausted and had to rely on catching fish and shrimp to satisfy their hunger, so they relaxed their vigilance and only besieged but did not attack, wanting to trap Dong Zhuo's army. However, there was no movement for a long time, and by the time the Qiang cavalry found out the situation, Dong Zhuo's army had already disappeared without a trace, and he didn't know where to go. It turned out that Dong Zhuo's real purpose in building the dam was to confuse the enemy, use it as a cover, and then wait for an opportunity to retreat quietly. When Hu Bing and Qiang heard that Dong Zhuo's army had fled, they went in pursuit, but the river was too deep to cross.
Because of his meritorious service in fighting against Bian Zhang and Han Sui, Dong Zhuo was soon named the Marquis of Taixiang and a thousand households.
In the third year of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, there was a mutiny within Qianghu, Han Suige killed Bian Zhang, Beigong Boyu, and Li Wenhou, and gathered more than 100,000 troops of the three to besiege Shaanxi. Soon, Han Sui united with the surrounding Ma Teng, Wang Guo and others to attack Sanfu with a huge momentum. In the fifth year of Zhongping, Han Sui and Ma Teng had already attacked Chencang (now Baoji City, Shaanxi Province), endangering Chang'an and Luoyang. Emperor Ling hurriedly worshipped Dong Zhuo as a former general, and together with the left general Huangfu Song, he relieved the siege of Chencang and defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng. Dong Zhuo was rewarded by the imperial court for this.
In this series of wars, Dong Zhuo showed his superhuman military talent, which is to let him grow up step by step, and he can defeat famous figures such as Sui Ma Teng in Northwest Korea with Huangfu Song, a famous general of the Han Dynasty, of course, he also left a future trouble for himself, and did not really take advantage of the situation to pursue Han Sui and Ma Teng, of course, it can also be seen from this point that Dong Zhuo's ambition is to raise soldiers and self-respect, raise bandits for work, and finally continue to grow.
And Zhang Liao obviously discovered Dong Zhuo's ability, of course, now he is also loyal to Ding Yuan and will not have ambitions, but the unruly side cannot be changed, which is also the reason why Zhang Liao is angry! (To be continued......)
