Life of the characters

be a veteran in battle

Dong Zhuo's father, Dong Junya, gave birth to Dong Zhuo and Dong min when he was a county captain of the Lunshi family in Yingchuan County of Yuzhou, so he gave them the characters Zhongying and Shuying respectively.

Dong Zhuo returned to his hometown with his father's resignation. When he was young, Dong Zhuo loved to fight for justice. He once visited Qiang tribes and made friends with many Qiang leaders. Later, Dong Zhuo returned to his hometown to cultivate. Some Qiang leaders came to see him. Dong Zhuo went home with them, killed the cattle and entertained them. The leaders of Qiang people were very moved. After they went back, they collected thousands of livestock and presented them to Dong Zhuo.

As an adult, Dong Zhuo worked as an official in Longxi Prefecture, responsible for local public security. At that time, the Huns often harassed the border and plundered the common people. The Liangzhou governor succeeded in recruiting Dong Zhuowei. Dong Zhuowei led the troops to defeat the Huns and captured thousands of talents. Duan Yu, the governor of Bingzhou, recommended Dong Zhuo to the government.

In the last years of emperor Huan of Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo served as Yu Lin Lang. Dong Zhuo has great martial arts skills. He is good at wearing two pairs of arrow bags and shooting from left to right when riding fast.

In the ninth year of Yanxi (166), Xianbei people entered the fortress and united with the rebellious Qiang people to fight against the Eastern Han government. The imperial court worshipped Zhang Huan as Zhonglang General of Xiongnu, who was responsible for pacifying the rebellion in Youzhou, Bingzhou and Liangzhou. Dong Zhuo was probably Zhang Huan's army chief at this time.

In the winter of the first year of Yongkang (167), the Qiang rebellious people invaded Sanfu. Zhang Huan sent the army commanders Ma DongZhuo and Yin Duan to smash it, beheaded its leader and captured more than 10000 people. The next year, Zhang Huan returned to the imperial court. Dong Zhuo paid homage to the doctor for his meritorious service and awarded 9000 pieces of meat to his subordinates.

Later, Dong Zhuo served as guangwuling, Yanmen County, Bingzhou, northern Duwei, Shu County, Yizhou, and Wuji Xiaowei in western regions. He was removed because of something.

During the Xiping period, Dong Zhuo was recruited as an official by situ Yuankai, and later served as governor of Bingzhou and governor of Hedong county.

In the old days, he advocated that Huan should live in seclusion in Huayin County, Hongnong county. Dong Zhuo, the elder brother of Dong Zhuo school, presented him with a hundred horses. Zhang Huan hated Dong Zhuo and refused.

render outstanding service and be famous

In the first year of Zhongping (184), Huangjin uprising broke out. In June, after beizhonglang general Lu Zhi was removed by the imperial court, he changed to worship Dong Zhuo as dongzhonglang general and took over the affairs of Jizhou war zone. Dong Zhuo gave up the siege of Guangzong County, which was held by Zhang Jiao, and led the main force northward to attack xiaquyang County, which was held by Zhang Bao. On August 3, the imperial court ordered Zuo Zhonglang to send Huangfu song to Jizhou. Dong Zhuo was dismissed until Tingwei was tried and sentenced to "first class commutation of death penalty". On December 29, Dong Zhuo was pardoned.

In the winter of this year, there was a rebellion in Liangzhou. Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou, Han Sui, bianzhang and others attacked Sanfu in the name of "attacking eunuchs".

In March of the second year of Zhongping (185), the imperial court ordered the left cavalry general huangfusong to lead the army, and Dong Zhuo took Zhonglang as his deputy. In July, huangfusong was dismissed because of the unfavorable battle. In August, the imperial court took over the affairs of the third auxiliary military region by worshipping Sikong Zhang Wen as a general of motorcycles and appointed Jinwu yuan Pang as its deputy. Dong Zhuo was the general of the broken prisoners and Zhou Shen was the general of the Dangkou. Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo had a bad start in the confrontation between the government forces and the rebels in meiyang county.

Zhang Wen summons Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo comes late. Zhang Wen blames Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo also offends him. When Zhang Wen joined the army, Sun Jian advised Zhang Wen to take the opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo, so as to establish power. Zhang Wen was not allowed to.

One night in November, there was a meteor across the sky, shining into the rebel barracks, and the horses and donkeys were neighing. The rebels thought it was an ominous sign and were ready to withdraw. Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he learned of the situation. The next day, Dong Zhuo and you Fufeng Bao Hong attacked together, smashing the rebels and beheading them thousands of levels.

The rebels were defeated back to Yuzhong County, Jincheng County, Liangzhou. Zhang Wen sent Zhou Shen to lead 30000 people to pursue Zhou Shen. Dong Zhuo proposed to Zhang Wen to take over Zhou Shen. Zhang Wen refused to let Dong Zhuo lead 30000 people to attack Xianling Qiang. Dong Zhuo sent other Sima Liujing and led 4000 troops to anding County, and then marched. Dong Zhuo's army was surrounded by Qiang people and Huns in the north of Wangyuan County, and the situation was critical. Dong Zhuo asked the soldiers to pretend to block the water and build a dike in the Wei River, claiming to be fishing. In fact, they let the army quickly pass under the dike. When the rebels found out, they couldn't catch up.

At the beginning, Zhang Wen sent out six troops, five of which, including Zhou Shen, ended up in failure. Only Dong Zhuo's whole army was stationed on the right to support the wind. Because of his merits, the imperial court granted Dong Zhuo the title of Marquis of Qixiang and 1000 families of the city.

Wait and see the situation

In 188, Liangzhou rebels again attacked youfufeng and besieged Chencang county. In November, the imperial court worshipped huangfusong as the left general, and Dong Zhuo worshipped the former general as the deputy, leading 20000 people each to rescue Chencang.

Dong Zhuo suggested to huangfusong to March quickly. Huangfusong thought: "Chencang county is well guarded, and Liangzhou rebels will not be able to conquer it. Our army can win a complete victory as long as we hold still and wait for work." So he didn't listen to Dong Zhuo's advice.

When the imperial court recruited Dong Zhuo as the young mansion, Dong Zhuo refused to accept the order. He wrote a letter and declined: "my subordinates, huangzhongyicong and Xiongnu soldiers, all came to stop my car and begged me not to abandon them. I can't stop them. I can only stay and comfort them. If things change, I will report to the imperial court." The imperial court was helpless and worried.

In the spring and February of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Liangzhou rebels besieged Chencang County for more than 80 days. Huangfusong ordered the pursuit, but Dong Zhuo dissuaded him. He thought that "the poor should not pursue the enemy, and the people should not force him." huangfusong thought that "the rebel army is a tired division that has lost its fighting spirit, not the people and the poor.".

After that, Huang Fu Song asked Dong Zhuo to be in charge of the rear of the palace. He led his army to pursue him, and won a series of battles and decapitated him by more than 10000 levels. Soon after the rebel leader Kingdom fled, he died. Therefore, Dong Zhuo hated Huangfu song very much.

Emperor Ling was seriously ill. He ordered Dong Zhuo to be the herdsman of Bingzhou, and his subordinate troops were transferred to Huangfu song. Dong Zhuo accepted the appointment, but he refused to hand over the army. He wrote in defense: "I've been in charge of the army for ten years. The soldiers have a good relationship with me. They all have to work for me. I beg to take these soldiers to Bingzhou to serve.".

Huangfu Li persuades his father Huangfu song to take the opportunity to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but Huangfu song refuses to. He just tells the court about Dong Zhuo's refusal to hand over military power. Therefore, Emperor Ling issued an imperial edict to blame Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo resented Huangfu song even more.

Finally, Dong Zhuo took 5000 people to Bingzhou, but stayed in Hedong county. Dong Zhuo wanted to observe the situation in Luoyang.

In April, Emperor Ling died. General He Jin came to power and conspired with Yuan Shao to kill the eunuch. But empress dowager he refused to issue an imperial edict, so he Jin and Yuan Shao recruited Dong Zhuo to lead the troops to Beijing to force empress dowager he. When Dong Zhuo learned of this, he started immediately. At the same time, Dong Zhuo wrote to Zhang rang and others in impeachment.

But soon after, he Jin went back on his words and sent a counsellor, Zhong Shao, to dissuade Dong Zhuo from going to Beijing. Zhongshao meets Dong Zhuo in the Strider pool and asks him to return to Hedong county to fight against Chanyu Fuluo, the exiled Xiongnu. Dong Zhuo doesn't follow him. He continues to plead and enters Yin County of Henan Province.

Under the pressure of Dong Zhuo's March, Empress Dowager he finally agreed to issue an imperial edict to remove the eunuch.

When Dong Zhuo led his troops to Luoyang City, Zhong Shao asked Dong Zhuo to withdraw again when he left the city to work. Dong Zhuo ordered his soldiers to threaten Zhong Shao. Zhong Shao was furious and scolded Dong Zhuo. Knowing that he was wrong, Dong Zhuo led his troops to withdraw to the sunset Pavilion 20 miles away from Luoyang City.

To be in power

On August 25, the sixth year of Zhongping (189), general He Jin and commander yuan shaomou killed the eunuchs, but the Empress Dowager did not follow. Therefore, the imperial court called Dong Zhuo's envoys to the capital, and secretly ordered him to write a book, saying: "Zhang rang, the Minister of the central government, and so on, steal the good fortune to take advantage of the pet, and make the sea chaotic. In the past, Zhao Yang promoted Jinyang's armour to pursue the evil of the emperor. Ministers often sound bells and drums, such as Luoyang. "Prepare to intimidate the Empress Dowager. Before Dong Zhuo arrived, he Jin had been murdered by the eunuch. The angry soldiers attacked and killed the eunuch. He Jin and Wu Kuang joined forces with Dong min (the younger brother of Dong Zhuo, then the commander of Fengche) to attack and kill general he Miao. Duan Yu, the official of Zhongchang, hijacked the emperor and fled.

When Dong Zhuo saw the smoke billowing over Luoyang, he learned that the imperial court had a major accident, so he hastily ordered to March. Before dawn on the 28th, Dong Zhuo arrived at Xianyang garden and inquired about Zhang rang, the Minister of the Chinese Communist Party, who had hijacked the emperor Liu Bian on Beimang mountain, so he rushed to Beimang mountain.

At the foot of Beimang mountain, Liu Bian, who was still in shock, cried when he saw Dong Zhuojun coming at a gallop. Dong Zhuo finally saved the emperor in Beimang, and then returned to the palace.

In Chang'an, Dong Zhuo saw a huge welcoming team. Dong Zhuo pointed at Cui lie and said, "I've run 300 miles day and night. What do you say now? Believe it or not, I'll cut off your head Then, Dong Zhuo asked the ministers, "what are you
