In the first year of the first peace, in the first month of 190 A.D., heroes from all over the country rose up and played the banner of fighting Dong.

These include: Bohai Taishou Yuan Shao, Later General Yuan Shu, Jizhou Mu Hanfu, Yuzhou Thorn Shi Kong Ling, Yanzhou Thorn Shi Liu Dai, Hanoi Taishou Wang Kuang, Chen Liutai Shou Zhang Miao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Dongjun Taishou Qiao Mao, Shanyang Taishou Yuan Yi, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin.

At that time, Yuan Shao and Wang Kuangtun soldiers in Hanoi, and Zhang Yang also led thousands of people to take refuge.

Zhang Miao, Liu Dai, Qiao Mao, Yuan Yi and Bao Xintun soldiers were sour dates, and Cao Cao belonged to Zhang Miao's army.

Yuan Shu stationed troops in Luyang, and Sun Jian rushed from Changsha to join Yuan Shu; Kong Lingtun Bing Yingchuan; Han Fu stayed in Yecheng and gave the coalition army rations.

All the heroes elected Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and then Yuan Shao called himself the general of the chariot cavalry, and everyone else was falsely given the official title.

Facing the power of the Kwantung Army, Dong Zhuo was shocked.

In order to cut off the princes and re-establish the intention of the abolished emperor Liu Wei to succeed to the throne, Dong Zhuo asked Li Ru to kill the abolished emperor Liu Wei on the day of the Emperor.

Then he discussed with his ministers that he wanted to send a large army against the Kwantung Army, but was dissuaded by Zheng Tai.

Later, Li Ru proposed to move the capital to Chang'an, Guanzhong, but Yang Biao and Huang Wan repeatedly dissuaded them, and Dong Zhuo dismissed Huang Wan and Yang Biao from their posts on February Yihai on the basis of disasters.

Wu Qiong and Zhou Bi still thought that they could not move the capital, so Dong Zhuo killed Zhou Bi and Wu Qiong, who had recommended Yuan Shao and Liu Dai for promotion, for the crime of communicating with the enemy.

But the move of the capital did not stop, and at the beginning of Dinghai Day, Dong Zhuo drove the emperor to the west.

Zhuo also used infantry and cavalry to force millions of people from Luoyang to Chang'an. Roads were filled with people trampled to death, trampled to death by horses, starved to death, looted and killed.

Dong Zhuo stayed in Luoyang Biguiyuan and ordered the arrest of the rich men, killing them on charges and confiscating their property, and countless people died. He also sent Lu Bu to dig up the tomb of the first emperor and the tomb below the minister, and confiscate the treasures inside.

In the end, Dong Zhuo ordered to set fire to the Luoyang palace temple, the official mansion, and the home, within 200 miles of Luoyang, the buildings were all destroyed, and the chickens and dogs were not left, so Dong Zhuo stayed near Luoyangyuan.

On the second day of March, Emperor Xian arrived in Chang'an, and because Dong Zhuo did not arrive, he was assisted by Wang Yun. On the day of Wu Wu, Dong Zhuo killed his uncle Yuan Kui, Yuan Ji and his family because Yuan Shao raised an army, involving more than 50 people, including babies and women.

In fact, at the beginning, Dong Zhuo tried to win over the scholars and get their support. But the princes begged Dong, but Dong Zhuo's dream was shattered.

Aside from Zhang Yang, who defected to Cao Cao, and Sun Jian, who later defected to Yuan Shu. The princes of the Eleventh Road, among which Yuan Shao, Han Fu, Liu Dai, Kong Ling, Zhang Miao, Cao Cao and others were all made officials by Dong Zhuo and co-opted.

But these people who were co-opted by him finally raised troops to fight against him, how could Dong Zhuo not be angry?

Therefore, Dong Zhuo, who was furious, would risk the disapproval of the world and kill all the Yuan family of the fourth and third dukes.

It can be said that Dong Zhuo's behavior has completely pushed himself to the opposite side of the family, and there is no room for relaxation.

Although Dong Zhuo moved the capital and fled, the coalition forces were still afraid of Dong Zhuo's strong army, so they were reluctant to send troops.

Only Cao Cao thought that since he had raised an army against Dong, he should take action. Therefore, he led his troops to the west and prepared to enter Chenggao, and Zhang Miao also sent Wei Zi to lead the troops with the army.

When Cao Cao's army arrived at Xingyang Bianshui, he met Dong Zhuo's general Xu Rong. The two sides fought, and Cao's army was disadvantaged by the lack of soldiers, and Cao Cao was shot by arrows and his mount was also wounded.

Cao Cao's cousin Cao Hong gave the horse to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not accept it, so Cao Hong said: "There can be no Hong in the world, and there can be no king!" ”

Cao Hong asked Cao Cao to get on his horse, chased after him on foot, and fled at night.

And Xu Rong saw that he had fought for a day, and it was not easy to attack the sour dates, so he led his soldiers and horses back.

After Cao Cao returned to Sujuo, he saw that although there were more than 100,000 people in the coalition army, they only held banquets and gatherings every day, and did not try to make progress, Cao Cao was very dissatisfied.

So Cao Cao made a plan to them: as long as Yuan Shao led the Hanoi soldiers to Mengjin, the general of Suozao was stationed in Chenggao, occupied Aocang, and established camps in Yuyuan and Taigu to control the danger.

Yuan Shu went from Nanyang to Dan and Analysis, and entered Wuguan to attack Guanzhong, and the situation could be determined at that time.

He also believes that if he only does not try to make progress here, he will only lose his reputation in the world and invite shame.

But Zhang Miao and others did not listen to Cao Cao's words, and Cao Cao was angry, so he took Xiahoudun and others to Yangzhou, raised more than 4,000 Danyang elite soldiers, and prepared to attack Dong Zhuo again.

But he didn't want to, when Cao Cao led his troops to Longkang, the soldiers left their hometowns and were unwilling to fight Dong Zhuo, so a rebellion broke out.

This rebellion made Cao Cao almost die in the barracks. Fortunately, Xiahoudun was brave and good, desperately protecting Cao Cao from the camp.

Cao Cao had no choice but to go to Yuan Shao.

On the other hand, Sun Jian went north from Changsha, and after killing Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Zhang Zhi, the Taishou of Nanyang, he finally joined Yuan Shu, and was listed as the general of the Broken Captives, the leader of the Yuzhou Assassin History, and his subordinates Yuan Shu, preparing to attack the north.

In winter, Sun Jian sent Changshi Gong Qiu to return to the state to supervise the military rations, set up tents outside the east of the city gate, and invited officials and subordinates to set up a banquet for Qiu Cheng to see him off.

It just so happened that Dong Zhuojun's tens of thousands of steps and horses suddenly appeared, but Sun Jian was still carrying out the drinking order, talking and laughing freely, rectifying the trilogy, and ordering them not to act rashly.

Later, when the cavalry of the Dong army gradually arrived, Sun Jian got up, slowly led the army into the city, and said to them: "Why I did not get up immediately and take avoidance, I was afraid that the soldiers would compete with each other for the first place, so that everyone could not enter the city." ”

Dong Zhuojun saw that Sun Jun was neat, and he did not dare to attack and returned.

Later, Sun Jian changed to Liangdong, and Dong Zhuo sent Xu Rong and Li Meng to plunder, and had an encounter with Sun Jian in Liang County, Sun's army was defeated, and Sun Jian and dozens of cavalry broke through and left.

Because Sun Jian liked to use a red turban, he was recognized by Dong Jun, so he took it off and put it on the close general Zu Mao, leading away the cavalry of Xu Rongjun, while Sun Jian escaped from the path.

Pursued by the enemy, Zumao dismounted and placed his turban on a burnt pillar while hiding himself in the grass.

When the cavalry saw the turban, they thought it was Sun Jian, so they surrounded the turban, and when they looked closely, they realized that it was a pillar, and left.

Most of the soldiers of Sun's army were captured and killed by cruel means, such as Li Min, the Taishou of Yingchuan, who was cooked to death, and the other soldiers were wrapped in cloth, hung upside down to the ground, and killed with hot oil.

In addition, Wang Kuang, who was stationed in Hanoi, also sent Taishan soldiers to Tunhe Yangjin to prepare for an attack.

Dong Zhuo sent suspicious soldiers and posed as if he was going to cross the river from Pingyin. Secretly, he sent elite soldiers to cross the river north of Xiaoping, bypassed Wang Kuang's army, attacked in the rear, and broke Wang's army in northern Jinbei, with many dead.

Han Fu was afraid that Yuan Shao would endanger him, so he gradually reduced the food delivery to the Hanoi and Suozao coalition forces, and after the army ran out of food, the coalition forces returned to their respective defensive positions, but the armies still maintained an alliance relationship.

At the same time, Liu Dai and Qiao Mao have always been at odds, so Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao and led the East County Taishou with Wang Qiu.

When Dong Zhuo saw the retreat of the allied forces, he sent Han Rong, Yin Xiu, Hu Muban, Wu Xun, and Wang Gui to negotiate peace with Yuan Shao and others.

After everyone arrived in Hanoi, Wang Kuang informed Yuan Shao that Yuan Shao did not agree and asked Wang Kuang to kill Hu Muban, Wang Gui, Wu Xun and others. Yuan Shu also killed Yin Xiu, only because Han Rong was famous for virtue and was spared.

The following year, Yuan Shao and Han Fu wanted to make Liu Yu emperor emperor on the grounds that Emperor Xian was young, and was controlled by Dong Zhuo, and they were separated from each other, and they didn't know whether Emperor Xian was safe, but Cao Cao refused to participate, and Yuan Shu also objected.

Yuan Shao got another jade seal and raised his elbow to Cao Cao in his seat, suggesting that everything was ready to make Liu Yu emperor, but Cao Cao only laughed, but secretly he was very dissatisfied with Yuan Shao's move.

From then on, the rift between the princes became more pronounced.

However, Yuan Shao still worked with Han Fu and others to elect Liu Yu as emperor in February. and sent Zhang Qi and others to invite Liu Yu to discuss matters.

Liu Yu angrily scolded Zhang Qi: "Now there is a big chaos, and the monarch has lost power. I have been greatly gratefully gracious, but I have not been able to clear the shame of the snow. You should work together to repay the royal family, but you are rebelling and rebelling, which is to bring shame to each other! ”

Liu Yu insisted on refusing to resign, and Han Fu and others wanted to ask Liu Yu to lead the book, but Liu Yu still refused, and even killed the messenger. Yuan Shao and others had no choice but to stop.

At the same time, in February, Sun Jian recovered the stragglers and stationed the Yangren. Dong Zhuo sent Hu Zhen as the chief governor, Lu Bu as the cavalry governor and many other governors, and led 5,000 cavalry to attack Sun Jian.

When he made a plan to attack Sun Jian, he was ruined by Lu Bu and his generals.

made Sun Jian wake up, and Hu Zhen's siege was unfavorable. When he retreated, Sun Jian went out of the city to pursue, defeated Dong Zhuojun, and killed Governor Huaxiong and others.

Yuan Shu saw that Sun Jian defeated Dong Zhuojun, and someone said to Yuan Shu: "If Sun Jian gets Luoyang, he will not be able to check and balance him, this is to get rid of the wolf and attract the tiger." ”

Yuan Shu was suspicious, so he did not transport military rations to Sun Jian. Sun Jian rushed back to Luyang overnight, and severely reprimanded Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was ashamed, and immediately transferred military rations, and Sun Jian also returned to Yangren.

Dong Zhuo heard that Sun Jian was so powerful, so he sent Li Dao to persuade Sun Jian and his relatives. He even said that he could make his children serve as assassins and county guards, but Sun Jian scolded Dong Zhuo, refused, and immediately marched into Dagu.

Dong Zhuo personally led his troops and fought with Sun Jian in the tombs of the first emperors. Dong Zhuo was defeated, moved to Tun Michi, and gathered troops in Shaanxi.

Sun Jun entered the Xuanyang Gate in Luoyang and repelled Lü Bu.

Later, Sun Jian swept away the temple, sacrificed to heaven and earth, divided his troops and sent a letter to Guguan, and went to Xin'an and Mianchi to defend Dong Zhuojun.

Dong Zhuo said to Liu Ai, the long history, that only Sun Jian is worthy of attention in the Kwantung Army, and everyone from all walks of life should pay attention to it.

He left Dong Yuetun to fight in Michi, Duan Xuantun to Huayin, Niu Futun to Anyi, and other generals to stay in the counties to balance Shandong, and set off to Chang'an.

After Sun Jian repaired the tombs, he led the army to return to Luyang.

Due to the serious damage, Luoyang only became a place for Dong Zhuo to confront the Kwantung Army.

Although Sun Jian invaded Luoyang, most of the heroes in the coalition army formed grudges in this battle, and turned from fighting Dong Zhuo together to expanding their own territory.

The crusade against Dong Zhuo ended without getting big results.

Then, Yuan Shao first seized Han Fu's Jizhou with a strategy, and started a war with Gongsun Zan for Youzhou.

And Yuan Shu owned Nanyang and had a bad relationship with the new Jingzhou assassin Liu Biao. His subordinates were in the crusade against Dong Zhuo's famous Sun Jian, and died in an ambush when attacking Liu Biao.

Because Yuan Shu heard that Yuan Shao had won Jizhou, he asked Yuan Shu for horses. After being rejected by Yuan Shao, the two brothers began to break up.

The situation in which the princes seized the Central Plains also began to take shape.
