Dong Zhuo was born in a powerful family in Xiliang. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Strictly speaking, it should be one of the representatives of the big landlord class in Shanxi.

Unlike the family here in Shandong, Dong Zhuo, who was born in Xiliang, began to come into contact with people and things that affected his life since he was a child, not poetry and etiquette, but Qiang people and force.

The belief that fists are big is the truth, and it is very popular among the Qiang people who have no cultural heritage. There is nothing more problematic than a fight, and if there is, then use the knife.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo, who is physically strong, has extraordinary strength, is proficient in martial arts, skilled in riding, can also shoot bows left and right, can take a group of guards at any time, and is good at fighting alone and groups, soon became famous in the local Qiang circle.

The aura of fame was still very useful in the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo, who is a little famous, has a lot of money in his family, and he does not hesitate at all, and often invites the leader of the Qiang people, Hao Shuai, to be a guest. Whenever the Qiang people came to his house as a guest, he would kill cattle and sheep to entertain the Qiang people, and established a mutually implicated trade interest relationship with the Qiang people in the transaction.

The small group of Qiang people can't beat Dong Zhuo, after all, Dong Zhuo is also from a strong background, and there are a lot of guards under him, Dong Zhuo himself is also thick and strong, don't lose your life if you can't eat meat; A large number of Qiang people are reluctant to fight Dong Zhuo, except for cattle and sheep on the grassland, there is green grass, and now there is a Dong Zhuo who can do good things, and he is killed, not to mention who to find next time he eats salt?

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in power, the Han Dynasty wanted to try its best to suppress the local tyrants on the one hand, and on the other hand, it had to use the local tyrants to suppress the peasant uprisings and the rebellion of ethnic minorities.

At that time, Dong Zhuo served as the state soldier and horse Peng as a good son, responsible for leading troops to patrol the border and maintain local security. For Dong Zhuo, it was like finally putting on the tiger skin of the imperial court and starting his road as a warlord.

Soon, the Eastern Han Dynasty court was eager to solve the Xiqiang problem and began to vigorously promote some Xiliang heroes, which was an extremely important development opportunity for Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo not only maintained his position and influence among the local powers, but also relied on his financial and military strength to win over and merge other forces, and constantly consolidate and expand his power.

Subsequently, Dong Zhuo was awarded Yulin Lang to take charge of the Yulin Army in Yuan County (Hanyang, Longxi, Anding, Beidi, Shangjun, and Xihe). Soon, he was promoted to military commander and followed Zhang Huan, the general of Zhonglang, to conquer the rebellious Qiang people in the state.

It was also at this time that Dong Zhuo met a person who changed his life, Li Ru.

For the first time, Dong Zhuo knew that the guerrilla mode of the Qiang people was also useless, the first time he knew that 100 trained armorers could easily defeat 200 untrained armorers, the first time he no longer bothered about the trivial matters of official documents, and the first time he understood that there were more terrible and effective things besides fists that could defeat the enemy.

Dong Zhuo felt that Li Ru had changed his original view of literati, and in order to win over, he tied Li Ru to his chariot, and he married his daughter to Li Ru.

In the subsequent campaign against the rebel Qiang, with the help of Li Ru, Dong Zhuo tried his best to express himself, gave full play to his brave and strong advantages, rushed and killed, and established his prestige in the Xiliang region.

Due to his outstanding achievements, Dong Zhuo was promoted to Langzhong because of his merits, and later he was promoted again to Guangwu Ling, the northern lieutenant of the county guard, and the captain of the Western Regions.

Later, Bian Zhang and Han Sui rebelled in Beidi with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, and it spread 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, and Dangkou general Zhou Shen led more than 100,000 infantry and cavalry to guard the garden mausoleum.

At this time, Dong Zhuo officially grew from a frontier lieutenant to a general with heavy troops. Later, Dong Zhuo was outstanding because of his meritorious service in resisting Bian Zhang and Han Sui, and Dong Zhuo was soon named the Marquis of Taixiang and had thousands of households.

Dong Zhuo made many meritorious contributions in the continuous battles with Han Sui and Ma Teng of Qianghu, and was rewarded by the imperial court again, and the official worshiped the former general. Later, the imperial court felt that Dong Zhuo's power was too large, and wanted to move Dong Zhuo to the Shaofu of the three princes and nine secretaries of the central government, but Li Ru woke up Dong Zhuo and understood the intentions of the imperial court, so he played and said: "The size of the soldiers has been similar for a long time, and they love the grace of the ministers. He politely refused and refused to take office.

At this point, Dong Zhuo's warlord gradually took shape, forming a mixed army with the Xiliang soldiers as the main body, mixed with the Hu people and the Qiang people, especially in the cavalry, absorbing a large number of nomadic combat methods plus the sophisticated ordnance of the Han Dynasty, and accumulated many veterans with rich war experience in the process of constantly invading the Qiang people on the frontier, becoming a powerful team at this time.

Dong Zhuo's rising power swelled rapidly.

In order to curb the continued growth and spread of Dong Zhuo's power, Emperor Ling summoned Dong Zhuo during his serious illness and worshipped him as the pastor of the state, hoping to subordinated Dong Zhuo's troops to Huangfu Song in exchange for disintegrating Dong Zhuo's forces.

But at this time, Dong Zhuo was willing, so he naturally refused to hand over the military power, and then led his troops into Hedong, officially becoming a powerful local warlord force that listened to the tune and did not listen to the propaganda.

Before Emperor Han Ling continued to attack Dong Zhuo's forces, Emperor Han Ling himself couldn't hold on to his life, and then the harem fought for power and profit, and the new emperor took office, and the matter was put on hold.

Until an edict was delivered to Dong Zhuo's hands, the general He Jin transferred Dong Zhuo to Beijing!

The original idea of the great general He Jin was perfect.

Luoyang's original guard of the imperial palace of the forbidden army Xiyuan Eighth Lieutenant has been controlled by Jian Shuo for many years, although it is said that the first evil Jian Shuo has been killed, but for a while the grassroots sergeants who originally took refuge in the eunuchs have no way to eradicate it, in order to ensure the He family's right to speak in the government and the opposition, the general He Jin felt that it was necessary for him to control an army without eunuch infiltration.

So He Jin sent a message to all the generals who were in charge of the army, hoping that these people could support some soldiers and horses to participate in the great cause of defeating the eunuchs, but he didn't expect that the Liu royal family who held the real power was either too far away or not interested, but Dong Zhuo, who was closer to Jingluo, was the first to respond, and also put on a "chasing the evil of the king's side", which made the general He Jin suddenly feel as warm as his mother's family.

By the way, there was another warlord leader at that time, after receiving the secret edict from the general He Jin, he immediately threw off the barren and painful life of the border guards, packed up the affairs, threw down the border defense line, and defected to the Central Army, but it was a pity that the action was a little slower than Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo grabbed the first prize, otherwise it is really hard to say what it would become.

So in fact, Dong Zhuo is quite lucky.

Feeling that there was someone to support him, the general He Jin not only publicized Dong Zhuo's recital, but also became more and more bad towards the eunuchs, and the frightened eunuchs hurriedly ordered Dong Zhuo in the name of the emperor not to go to the capital anymore and stationed on the spot.

So Dong Zhuo camped in Mianchi, always paying attention to the movements of the capital.

How can a mere more than 100 miles of roads stop Dong Zhuo's ambitions, Dong Zhuo used all the sets used in the war, and the scouts under his hands were fully spread, and there were scouts to report the situation in Luoyang every hour of the twelve hours, so when Luoyang was full of fires and many people were still ignorant and didn't know why, Dong Zhuo already knew that Luoyang had changed for the first time, and immediately pulled out the camp and drove towards Luoyang with the army overnight.

************

To be honest, Fei Qian didn't expect that the dragnet search along the riverbank would really let him run into it.

But looking at the two people trembling in front of him, who would have thought that the top two people in the Han Dynasty could be so embarrassed.

One big and one small two and a half children, covered in muddy water, the crown of their heads didn't know when it fell off, their hair was scattered, and they looked frightened, if it weren't for the texture of the clothes on their bodies and the steps they wore on their feet to help Fei Qian finally make a decision, maybe it would have been missed as a homeless person.

In the Han Dynasty, you really can't be too casual when you wear clothes. Who wears what clothes, if they wear the wrong clothes, if they are wrong, they will say that they are rude, and if they are big, they will even lose their official position and lose their lives!

During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the unlucky child Wu'an Hou Tian Tian was abolished from his marquis treatment and court office because of "disrespect for entering the palace in clothes". Of course, a marquis was swept to the end like this, not only because he wore inappropriate clothes, but also because of other factors, but at least what was put on the table was written in the history books openly.

So in the Han Dynasty, what kind of clothes to wear was really a big deal.

Fei Qian carefully identified it by the light of the torch, first, the age matched, and the other was that although it was contaminated with muddy water, it could still be seen that he was wearing dark blue clothes and red steps, which was a clothing that only nobles in the Han Dynasty could wear.

Although the heart has been determined, how can we recognize each other at this time?

Immediately push the gold mountain and fall to the ground, that is what a stupid person can do.

The best way to do it right now is if you don't tell me, I'll assume I don't know.

The royal family also needs the face of the royal family!

Fei sneaked up a few steps, walked up to the two children, and said, "Are you two lost with your relatives?" I am a new official in the imperial court, and not far from this is the village of Situ Cui Weikao of the former dynasty. At this time, the night is cold and cold, why don't you go to the village to rest for a while, and then make plans after dawn? "Anyway, let's find an excuse for these two people first, so that they don't have to confide their true feelings right away.

The older child was still a little panicked and scared and did not answer, but the younger one seemed much calmer and replied in place of the older child: "This is very good." ”

Fei Qian beckoned one or two Zhuang Ding to lead the way, and just went to the village to prepare ginger soup and hot water, while just taking two steps forward, he turned around and stopped, took off his coat, and put it on the big child, and said: "Wet clothes are the most taboo of cold wind, don't feel the cold, and please don't blame Xiaolang for faux pas." ”

The eldest child really felt that the wind was blowing too cold, and he shivered and said thank you, wrapped Fei Qian's coat, and finally felt a little warm, and no longer shivered all the time.

Fei Qian squatted down at the child, and said warmly: "There is still a way to go, it is difficult to walk at night, if you don't give up, I will carry you over?" ”

After a slight hesitation, the little child also said thank you, and gently put the two cold little bracelets on Fei Qian's shoulders.

Fei Qian leaned forward slightly, then easily put the child on his back, and turned his head to signal the older child to follow along.

In the night sky, the bright stars drooped.

Fei Qian carried the child on his back, followed by a big child who wrapped his coat tightly, and walked forward slowly, the torch held by Zhuang Ding on his side flickered in the night wind, reflecting the figures of the three on the earth, dragging it for a long time.
