Chapter 10 6. Don't be too shameless

At the age of 52, Dong Zhuo was dismissed from his post in the army because of defeat in battle. This dismissal aroused his dissatisfaction with the imperial court and his resentment at the extreme disproportionateness of his contribution to his income. At the age of 53, the Yellow Turban Army's uprising momentum became more and more fierce, and it triggered an avalanche effect.Han Sui and Ma Teng, the court officials who were guarding the frontier, suddenly showed the banner of "the side of the Qing emperor" and openly marched in the direction of the capital Luoyang.It was an official rebellion by Imperial officials and marked the disintegration of the Empire.

Among the rebellious officials, Ma Teng has a son named Ma Chao, who will be one of the five tiger generals under Liu Bei in the future.But this year, Ma Chao was just 9 years old, so he was not yet a threat to the court. However, the tens of thousands of Han Sui and Ma Teng are enough to make the court nervous.The imperial court was terrified, fearing that the rebellion between Han Sui and Ma Teng would trigger a larger avalanche, and more officials would rise up to attack him, then the imperial court would be over. Dong Zhuo, who had been dismissed, was recruited again. Because his soldiers were from Liangzhou and were familiar with the local conditions, Dong Zhuo had to be the one to suppress the rebellion this time.

So the angry Dong Zhuo put on his horse and led his soldiers to advance towards Liangzhou. The three armies passed Wangyuan Kip, and saw dense black heads in front of them, pouring up from the horizon like a boiling pot. It is an army composed of Qiang warriors. They echoed Han Sui and Ma Teng and came to intercept and kill Dong Zhuo. The Qiang warriors rushed forward and shouted to Dong Zhuo: "So who, that fatty Dong right away, don't say that we bully you too much, wait a little while, you will receive the battle report, and then we will talk." What the hell are these Qiang people doing?Dong Zhuo murmured in his heart, turned his head and looked at the way he had come, only to see that the dust was rising, and a messenger was chasing after him desperately: "Report, it's terrible, the main force of our army is the same as Han Sui and Ma Teng's Qiang Han." The coalition forces have encountered each other and have already been defeated. General Dong and Mo's lonely army should go deep and return to the division quickly..."

The Qiang warriors on the opposite side laughed loudly: "Fatty Dong, are you still able to go? Look back, our warriors have cut off your rear and cut off your grain and grass transportation lines. Are you going to fight now or not? Let's fight, you can only fight hungry, believe it or not, before the war is over, you will all starve to death?" "Are you sure?" Dong Zhuo asked in surprise. "No doubt!" The Qiang warriors were full of confidence. Dong Zhuo laughed loudly: "But don't forget, I, Dong Zhuo, are also considered half of the Qiang people. The sky is the roof of the Qiang people, the ground is the soft couch, and wild animals and birds in the countryside are my food. Order the three armies to immediately Move to the river, build dikes and dams, block the river, catch the fish in the river for food, and when we are full, we will come to settle accounts with you."

The Qiang warrior laughed loudly: "Dong Zhuo, you are really an omnivore, you dare to put anything in your mouth. Don't forget that most of the soldiers under your command are Han. To satisfy our hunger, if you eat too much aquatic fish, you will suffer from indigestion, vomiting, dizziness and nausea... and wait until you, the soldiers of the armed forces, eat one by one until you have loose stomach and diarrhea, and then cut you horizontally and vertically, chop into eight pieces, I'm sorry you don't have the strength to resist." So Dong Zhuo moved to the river, built a dam, cut off the river, and led his soldiers to catch fish.A few days later, Qiang warriors rushed over excitedly, wanting to see if Dong Zhuo's soldiers were suffering from diarrhea.But they never thought that when they arrived, they were shocked to find that the dam was only half built, and the tents by the river were neatly arranged and the banners were flying, but there was no one there.

Hey, where did Dong Zhuo and the others go? They sent scouts to look for it, and they reported back in a short time: "That guy Dong Zhuo set up camp and built a dam to fish is fake, the purpose is just to confuse us. In fact, he has already led the troops and sneaked away..." When the Qiang warriors heard this, their eyes turned black with anger, and they couldn't help yelling: "Who is this Dong Zhuo? He's full of lies. You clearly said you were a dam builder and fisherman, how could you sneak away?" The government army sent six troops to attack Han Sui and Ma Teng. Six of them failed, and only Dong Zhuo retreated without any loss.This incident triggered a deeper conflict between him and the Eastern Han court.

And hate.
