    "A certain family doesn't dare!" Dong Zhuo said with cupped hands. He was also a little scared. He didn't know what Zhang Liao said. There was always chaos within the army. This was always a taboo. If he and Yuan Shao really fell out, there would be no benefit at all.  , his temper really needed to be suppressed. His instinct was immediately suppressed by his loyalty to Ding Yuan, and he did not dare to say anything more.  This is also because his temper is too unruly. Of course, his ambitions will not be lost at this time. With the existence of the Three Kingdoms Space, there is absolutely no possibility of betrayal for a die-hard general. Before his loyalty reaches the level of die-hard loyalty,  Perhaps because of loyalty, he would not work hard and completely fall out with Yuan Shao, but Dong Zhuo, who was already die-hardly loyal, would naturally not be able to do this.  Zhang Liao looked at Dong Zhuo's submission, nodded slightly, and then said to Yuan Shao: "Yuan Benchu, do you know me?"  Zhang Liao's words were extremely indifferent at this time and did not give Yuan Shao any face. This was why Zhang Liao was angry. Although Dong Zhuo was wrong in being unruly, Yuan Shao made a bigger mistake.  This is the second time. The first time, he made wrong judgments because of his own pride, and he also had a tendency to boss around and have an unstable tendency. But this time, it was his pride that broke out first and changed what Dong Zhuo said.  , interrupted directly and sarcastically. It is no wonder that Dong Zhuo directly refuted.  If it were another general, he might be a little better, with a soft temper, and would argue with him and convince him, but Dong Zhuo would not.  How can such a heroic figure be easily persuaded.  Although his ambition is gone, his instinct is still there, and he is still unwilling to succumb to others.  These others were not as capable as him, such as the five subsequent generals who were equal to him.  "If Zhang Liao had told him, he would still be convinced, but he looked down upon Yuan Shao, so how could he get Dong Zhuo to give him face?"  You must know that Dong Zhuo in history has achieved the limit of what a minister can do, such as this method.  In fact, Xiao Ke's fate can be said to be worse than that of Yuan Shaoqi.  "The general will finally realize his mistake!" Yuan Shao also knew that his reaction was a bit extreme, and he did not dare to refute.  He clasped his fists and bent down and said, "Zhang Liao now does not just represent himself, he is a person personally appointed by Ding Yuan to give priority to the right to command the battlefield."  It also represents Ding Yuan's will.  Now that His Majesty Ding Yuan is mentioned, Yuan Shao's self-esteem is naturally suppressed by diehard loyalists. No matter how strong his self-esteem is and how sensitive he is, he does not dare to be so arrogant.  "Well, this matter is indeed as Dong Zhuo said. Since the enemy has taken action, it is difficult to deal with, but the battlefield itself is full of variables. If the enemy's scouts move, then our army will send more manpower again.  Why be pessimistic? War requires caution, but caution does not mean cowardice. It does not require perfect calculations. It requires constant changes to spy on the military situation. The most important thing is to clearly distinguish the priorities! " Zhang Liao's expression softened now!  , said slowly, in fact, although he scolded Dong Zhuo and later Yuan Shao, there was a basis for it, because later he himself agreed with what Dong Zhuo said, to seize the initiative on the battlefield and serve as the real main force in the decisive battle.  , this in itself is the perfect situation in Zhang Liao's plan, and their most important task is naturally to lure the snake out of its hole and completely eliminate the Fifteen-Nation Allied Forces.  Now that the enemy's scouting tactics have changed and it is possible to spy on their military situation, there will naturally be changes. We cannot give up other things for the so-called battlefield merit. Meritorious service can be done at any time, but the most important thing in war is  It is the purpose. If the purpose cannot be achieved, then how can one establish merit.  This is where Dong Zhuo becomes stronger. Dong Zhuo, who has not been corrupted, is indeed a hero among men, and he really has the talents of a general. This is why Dong Zhuo does not have many subordinates on the surface, but after comprehensive consideration, Ding Zhuo  The original reason why he became a general was because his supporters and his talents made him a general!  It can be said that in terms of military talents, among Ding Yuan's ten generals, Zhang Liao and Cao Cao are both masters of tactics and strategy, and their comprehensive abilities are equivalent, while Lu Bu is a pure master of tactics and invincible in tactics. It is difficult for these three to defeat him.  The one who ranks high and low should be ranked fourth, and Dong Zhuo should be counted.  What a miracle it is to be able to complete a complete counterattack with only a few generals!  The power of Dong Zhuo, who was constantly promoted, expanded rapidly.  In order to curb the continued growth and spread of Dong Zhuo's power, the Eastern Han Dynasty court conscripted Dong Zhuo as a young man who did not hold real power in the sixth year of Zhongping.  Dong Zhuo understood the court's intention, so he politely refused and refused to take office.  Emperor Ling was seriously ill and hurriedly summoned Dong Zhuo and worshiped him as Bingzhou Shepherd. His troops were subordinate to Huangfu Song.  The ambitious Dong Zhuo was naturally dissatisfied with the arrangements and appointments made by the court., then replied to Emperor Ling, saying: "The soldiers have been in love with each other for a long time. They love the kindness of the ministers and livestock, and they will fight for the ministers once they are ordered to beg the generals in Beizhou. Their service is low." He refused to hand over his military power and immediately led his own troops.  Stationed in Hedong to observe the changes of the times.  Since Dong Zhuo led the troops to conquer the Qiang and Hu and suppressed the Yellow Turban Army, he has been reused by the court many times due to his outstanding military exploits and has been promoted continuously. Especially after defeating the attacks of Han Sui and others, his power has grown day by day, forming an army based in Liangzhou.  A mixed army composed of mainly human beings and mixed with Hu and Han people.  Although the imperial court restrained Dong Zhuo, the increasingly full-fledged Dong Zhuo relied on his military exploits and prestige, and became increasingly ambitious and arrogant.  Specializing in government affairs After stationing troops in Hedong, the entire Longxi region became Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence. Not only did he control a powerful armed force and was a powerful local warlord, he was also a court official and an important border minister.  With his strong strength and extremely inflated ambition, Dong Zhuo began to design specific steps to conquer the central power.  In April of the sixth year of Zhongping (AD 189), Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong died in Jiade Palace, and the young emperor Liu Bian succeeded to the throne.  Because Liu Bian was young and ignorant, Empress Dowager He was temporarily in charge of the court, and the imperial power declined further.  The struggle between eunuchs and relatives became increasingly fierce to obtain special powers to control the imperial power.  The two sides did not hesitate to use all means to exclude each other and fight to the death.  Dong Zhuo, who was well aware of the factional disputes in the imperial court, was secretly delighted when he learned of the death of Emperor Ling. He paid close attention to the movements of the various factions in the imperial court, and was always ready to take corresponding measures and act according to the opportunity.  Soon after Dong Zhuo dominated the capital, Dong Zhuo, who was waiting for an opportunity in Hedong, received a secret order from General He Jin.  He Jin is the young emperor's uncle and represents the influence of his relatives.  After the death of Emperor Ling, he and Yuan Shao, the captain of Sili School, conspired to kill Zhang Rang, but were opposed by Empress Dowager He.  Therefore, He Jin lured Dong Zhuo with benefits and summoned him to Beijing immediately to attack Zhang Rang in the name of imperial edict, and used this to coerce Queen Mother He.  After receiving the imperial edict, Dong Zhuo was overjoyed. He immediately gathered his troops and led the army to Beijing for several days. According to He Jin's wishes, he wrote a letter to the young emperor, asking to "drive out the evil on the side of the emperor" and "acquire the army to clean up the treachery and filth".  However, Dong Zhuo never expected that before he could reach Luoyang, He Jin would be killed by Zhang Rang and others in the fight.  At this time, Huben Zhonglang general Yuan Shu (? 199 AD) was also commanding troops in Luoyang. After hearing the news that He Jin had been killed, he set fire to the Nangong and hunted down Zhang Rang and others.  Zhang Rang and his deputy Duan Si hurriedly kidnapped the young emperor Liu Bian and Chenliu king Liu Xie and fled in the middle of the night to Xiaopingjin, a ferry on the Yellow River (southwest of today's Gong County, Henan Province).  Dong Zhuo, who was marching, saw a sea of ??fire in the capital from a distance and knew that the situation had changed. He found out that the young emperor was in Beimang, so Dong Zhuo hurriedly led his troops there.  The young emperor was frightened by the swarming army and burst into tears.  Dong Zhuo walked up to see the young emperor in a majestic manner and asked him what happened.  The young emperor stammered and spoke incoherently, but King Chenliu and Liu Xie, who were standing aside, took the initiative to tell Dong Zhuo the whole incident. The narrative was unambiguous and clear.  At that time, Liu Xie was only 9 years old, a full 5 years younger than the young emperor.  Dong Zhuo was very happy, thinking that Liu Xie was much better than Liu Bian, and because he was raised by the Empress Dowager Dong personally, he had the initial idea of ??deposing Liu Bian and supporting Liu Xie.  After Dong Zhuo welcomed the young emperor to the palace, he coerced the emperor to order the princes and began to intervene in the entire central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty.  Dong Zhuo, who has led troops to fight for a long time, deeply realized that if he wants to conquer hundreds of officials and control the court, he must first have a strong military backing.  When he first arrived in Luoyang, the number of Dong Zhuo's troops did not exceed 3,000. In order to create a strong military deterrent effect on Luoyang from the beginning, he ordered his troops to sneak out of Luoyang quietly at night every four or five days, and the next morning  Then they marched into Luoyang in a mighty manner, with war drums beating to the sky and flags fluttering, as if there was a steady stream of thousands of troops and horses.  All people in Luoyang, including court officials, were intimidated by Dong Zhuo's powerful strength and did not dare to do any deviant behavior.  Although illusions can temporarily confuse people, they will eventually be seen through.  Of course, Dong Zhuo's move could only be a temporary measure. After a slight adjustment, he began to take practical actions to expand his troops and gain military power.  After General He Jin was ambushed by Zhang Rang, his subordinate general Wu Kuang was deeply resentful of He Jin's younger brother He Miao (then the cavalry general). He believed that He Miao was unwilling to cooperate with He Jin and was also suspicious of He Jin.  He colluded with Zhang Rang to deal with He Jin.  Wu Kuang thought that He Jin was always kind to him and vowed to kill He Miao and avenge He Jin.  He mobilized his soldiers and told them: "It was the cavalry general He Miao who colluded with Zhang Rang to kill the general. We must avenge the general!" So he joined forces with Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min to attack and kill He Miao.  After He Miao's death, Dong Zhuo took advantage of the situation and recruited He Jin and He Miao's troops without any effort.  It was extremely important to control the central government and the military power of Weiwu's army in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo made detailed arrangements and sent his confidant Lu Bu to kill Zhijinwu and take over all the capital's defense forces.  From then on, Dong Zhuo not only controlled a large number of conventional troops, but also controlled the direct subordinates of Luoyang.?, fully possessing the military foundation to influence government affairs.  This added considerable leverage to further expand his ambitions.  From these struggles, there is an element of luck, but it is impossible without the ability to strategize. This is also the fundamental factor why Ding Yuan considered Dong Zhuo as a general. Seizing the opportunity on the battlefield is what makes a great person.  For example, the glory of the entire Three Kingdoms period in the first half of the period can actually be said to be Dong Zhuo's, and then it is the glory of the Three Kingdoms in a narrow sense. Dong Zhuo ranks fourth, no doubt!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
