"After recruiting celebrities into the court, Zhou Yu, Wu Qiong and others suggested that Dong Zhuo 'Beijing officials and foreign officials' to control the Quartet, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed, thinking that the cooperation with the scholars was still fruitful. At that time, Confucianism also believed that by letting these scholars serve as local governors, the imperial power could gradually penetrate the whole country, so that the end of the situation of the disintegration of the Han Dynasty and the reunification were just around the corner! ”

"So under the operation of Zhou Yu and Wu Qiong, Han Fu, a scholar in Beijing, served as the pastor of Jizhou, Liu Dai served as the assassin of Yanzhou, Kong Ling served as the assassin of Yuzhou, Zhang Miao served as Chen Liu's guard, Zhang Zhi served as Nanyang Taishou, and Xu Jing served as Bajun Taishou."

After Ma Chao secretly thought about it, he found that the feasibility of this strategy was quite high. At that time, Dong Zhuo had an army of 100,000 troops, and the troops were monstrous. However, the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and their lives were devastated. If we delegate some talented talents, plan painstakingly, win over the people's hearts, and restore the people's livelihood, perhaps, the Han country will really be reunified. And Dong Zhuo will also become a famous minister like Huo Guang and Yi Yin!

History is written by the victors. Whoever can become the final victor will be able to crush the little girl of history under her and ravage it well. It's a pity that Dong Zhuo didn't realize this wish. He didn't push down the little girl in history, but the little girl suddenly turned into a tigress and bit Dong Zhuo hard.

During this period, Dong Zhuo got too close to the scholars, which also led to the dissatisfaction of his subordinate generals. However, Dong Zhuo knew that his martial artists were not the material to be officials, and he was in consideration of the scholars, so he resisted the pressure of the general's rebellion, and did not give his subordinates a high official position, they were just generals. ”

Ma Chao also knows some about this, and it is also recorded in the "Biography of Dong Zhuo in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty": Zhuo is dear and does not hold a prominent position, but he will be a school. However, knowing does not mean that Ma Chao will believe it. After thinking about it, he interrupted Li Ru and said:

"Before Dong Zhuo entered Beijing and took power. There must be a promise to his subordinates, otherwise the colonel will not use his life. However, it was not fulfilled afterwards. The generals are dissatisfied, and the military power is suspected of rioting, and Dong Zhuo is based on martial arts, how can he be separated from his subordinates? After saying this, Ma Chao also blinked: It's okay if Li Ru doesn't say this, as soon as he says this, he can be regarded as taking the initiative to show his feet.

Really. This sentence did ask Li Ru's sore feet again, and I saw Li Ru's old orange face red again, and he replied in a low voice: "That's true, it's the resentment of the general." The soldiers rioted, and the power of the soldiers was in danger of being overturned. Dong Zhuo naturally didn't dare to underestimate it, but he had no experience in dealing with this matter, so he had to indulge the soldiers to loot and pretend to be a military merit. to make up for the dissatisfaction of the soldiers. ”

Hearing this, Ma Chao smiled with difficulty and held back without speaking. But in my heart, I sighed: At that time, the noble relatives of Luozhong looked at each other. Gold silk property, every family accumulated. Zhuo indulged in the soldiers, broke out of their houses, obscene women, and plundered assets, which is called "searching prisons". People are frightened, and the day is not guaranteed.

It can be said that as an outsider, force is the foundation of Dong Zhuo's power, and the interests of scholars and doctors should naturally be secondary. In Dong Zhuo's view, only by doing so can he ensure the foundation of his force. Because experience determines thought, his mistake was to bring the barbaric plundering method on the grassland to a prosperous and dream-like civilized society, so that Luoyang, which had been prosperous for a hundred years, once and for a while, everyone lived in fear.

Presumably, at that time, those scholars didn't care about Dong Zhuo's atrocities at all. Because judging from the experience of Fufeng, those scholars, no matter how high they talk about it, still have the ability to govern one side. Ma Chao simply put forward an idea for many matters of the Fufeng New Deal, and the poor people under him came up with a detailed and highly feasible plan. And those famous Confucians above the palace, even if they have the possibility of staying away from the people's suffering, if they talk about governing the country, it is definitely more than enough!

However, none of them stood up to remind Dong Zhuo! Even, in the future, he will use this as evidence of Dong Zhuo's tyranny! It was only at this time that Ma Chao could see through the faces of these politicians: as long as he gains power once, even if the flood is monstrous after death! What do I have to do with the death of a mere untouchable?!

And Dong Zhuo's tyranny, although it hurts the heavens and the peace, but for the entire Han Dynasty, it can be regarded as a flaw and merit outweighs the fault. At that time, the warriors were in charge of the army, the scholars were seeking the world, and the prosperity of the Han Dynasty was just around the corner...... But what was the reason that caused the Kwantung heroes to rebel? Ma Chao was completely intoxicated by Li Ru's conception, and when he asked this question, he even felt that his throat was even dry from shock.

Because, he never thought of it, and there has never been a word in history to tell him that during the Dong Zhuo period, the Han Dynasty actually had the hope of unification! In that darkest age that has been depicted, there is actually a dawn like a brocade cloud!

Until a thousand years later, when history has faded to the point of only cold comments, there are very few historical materials that overturn the case for Dong Zhuo. The most is that it shows that Dong Zhuo's era was a conflict between martial arts culture and scholar culture. It is said that Dong Zhuo has been scolded countless times in more than 1,800 years, not because of what he did, but mainly because he was a failure.

At that time, the sigh of history was no longer exquisite. Because the materials left behind were all written by those who read the books. In the end, there are some modern masters who have jumped out of this strange circle, pointing out that they are also abolished emperors, but Yin and Huo are admired. The number of cities destroyed by the Mongol iron hooves and the number of people killed was definitely more than that destroyed and killed by the Liangzhou army, but few people were heard to scold Temujin.

Assuming that if Dong Zhuo eliminated the Kwantung Army and unified the Central Plains, then it is certain that history will evaluate him decisively differently. At that time, it was natural that there would be a large number of scholars who sang praises for him. It's a pity that Dong Zhuo is just a martial artist. He was much worse than a scholar in political struggles and intrigues, and for a loser like him, all his exploits were wiped out.

The winner is a prince, and the loser is a prince - since ancient times.

"Why? Hmph, for no reason at all! From beginning to end, it was all a conspiracy of the scholars! Li Ru was no longer able to accuse those scholars of their methods and tricks, closed his eyes, and said bitterly: "When the scholars welcomed the princes into Beijing and planned to kill the eunuchs, they actually chose the vulgar warriors in their eyes as scapegoats. Later, the Kwantung heroes sent troops, but they just wanted to kill Dong Zhuo, who had been splashed with dirty water, and take power in a good name. ”

After these words, Ma Chao's heart also fell to the bottom in an instant: connecting all the things together, he suddenly found that the Shiren Group actually spent a few years laying out a big game of chess?

first attached himself to his cousin He Jin, and began to rely on the strength of his relatives to fight against the eunuchs; then led Dong Zhuo into Beijing to remove the foundation of imperial power; then showed weakness to the enemy, pretending to unite with Dong Zhuo to realize the Zhongxing of the Shiren Group; In the end, there will be another trick to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and kill Dong Zhuo, in this way, there are powerful soldiers on the outside, and civil ministers on the inside, this Han world, isn't it the world of scholars?

Recalling that at the beginning, when Yuan Shao suggested that He Jin lead foreign officials to kill the eunuchs, Cao Cao still despised these scholars, saying that killing a few eunuchs was still fanfare and luring wolves into the house......

There's a scheming fart!

Now it seems that Cao Cao was just a poor rookie in the political arena at that time: how to depose the emperor if Dong Zhuo was not introduced into Beijing; Without disintegrating all the forces of imperial power, how can the scholars take power? Hum...... Sure enough, he became the king and lost the king, and when he became the king of Wei in the future, he became even stupid and naïve at the beginning, and he became bold and scheming. History, if true, should not be credulous.

After that, I won't talk much about it. When Dong Zhuo found out that he had been deceived, he began to shift from cooperation to a reign of terror to bring the Korean sergeants and doctors to their knees, and began a brutal revenge against the scholars. He began to realize that as a martial artist, although he was blessed by heaven to steal power, he could not keep it, so he gradually went to the opposite.

Dong Zhuo's martial dictatorship buried the decaying Eastern Han Dynasty regime and opened the door to the division of the heroes and the change of dynasty, but Dong Zhuo did not become the ultimate victor. Because the dictatorship of the martial arts was unacceptable at that time, that is, at this time, it was time for the scholars to get rid of Dong Zhuo, the scapegoat.

And Li Ru, as the first strategist under Dong Zhuo, went through it and finally saw through the essence. In addition, now Dong Zhuo is arrogant and empty-eyed, and he no longer obeys him; Moreover, the loss of Qin Pass in military strength, the loss of unification in political affairs, and the loss of popular support in personnel are already hopeless......

At this moment, Li Ru's ambition is still being realized, and after Dong Zhuo's death, it can be expected that his end will be even more miserable. The royal family and scholars could not tolerate him, and only by throwing himself into Ma Chao, who was still a martial artist, could he survive. What's more, Ma Chao, a martial artist, is not at all the same as Dong Zhuo.

Thinking about this, Ma Chao's refuge in Li Ru ...... Intellectually, I think it's reasonable. But emotionally, he was still a little difficult to accept. After all, all this is too sudden and too one-sided. Ma Chao still needs to weigh it for a while, but fortunately, the next showdown with Wang Yun is an opportunity to verify Li Ru's words!

"Wenyou, I understand your psychology at this time. And your intelligence and resources are also what the Ma family is looking forward to. However, I still need to think carefully about this matter...... You know what I mean? ”

"The subordinates understand, and they will see the hearts of the people over time. However, at this time, the opportunity for changes in the situation is more satisfying. If the lord is sent, he is willing to do the work of dogs and horses! After bowing deeply, Li Ru waved his hand, did not take away a single cloud, and retreated.

And Ma Chao's heart was already stirring: Come on! Let me Ma Mengqi take a look, this Chang'an, in addition to the best fat man, the demon emperor, and the black-bellied man, what other demons and monsters are there!
