Chapter 20 Dong Zhuo: I like blood

Dong Zhuo, courtesy name Zhongying, was born in Lintao, Longxi County. When Dong Zhuo was a child, his family was very poor, and he often lived in cold water for several days.I had no choice but to help the rich man Wang Dafa to herd cattle and make a living.Every day, Dong Zhuo drove ten cows to graze on the grassy slope, while he lay on a high place to bask in the sun.Dong Zhuo squinted his eyes and looked at the leisurely look of a dozen or so cattle, and he began to think wildly: If each cow is 10,000 sergeants, there are ten cattle in total, that is 100,000 sergeants, and I, Dong Zhuo, will command 100,000 soldiers in the future. sergeant.Dong Zhuo then thought, if every cow is ten women, and ten cows are one hundred women, I, Dong Zhuo, will have one hundred women in the future.Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo felt his blood boil and his emotions were high. Not only was the cow not lonely, but he was very fulfilled.

On this day, cattle are herded again.Suddenly several Qiang people came, all riding horses and carrying knives. This group of people rode over and surrounded Dong Zhuo, whistling.Dong Zhuo was terrified in his heart, but on the surface he showed no signs of fear.After confronting each other for a long time, the leader of the Qiang tribe suddenly jumped off his horse, came over and patted Dong Zhuo on the shoulder, raised his thumb, and praised Dong Zhuo for his strong physique, courage and courage, and the air of a general.Dong Zhuo also eased his expression, and started chatting with them.After talking for a long time, the Qiang people got up and got on their horses to leave.Dong Zhuo stopped them and said, it's getting late, let me treat you today!The Qiang people all got off their horses and asked, how do you treat guests?Dong Zhuo said, I will kill a cow and invite everyone to eat roast beef.The Qiang people all laughed and said, good, good, we happened to be carrying wine.That afternoon, Dong Zhuo mingled with the Qiang people, drinking wine and eating roast beef, very happy.It was getting late, and the Qiang people who were full of food and drink got up to leave.The leader gave Dong Zhuo a waist knife and said, keep it as a souvenir, and bring this knife to me in the future.After all the Qiang people disappeared on their horses, Dong Zhuo drove the cattle to the village unsteadily.At the entrance of the village, Dong Zhuo came to his senses. He lost a cow, so how would he explain to Wang Dafa when he went back.When Wang Dafa found out the truth, he had to beat me to death.

After much deliberation.Just don't do anything, just run.Dong Zhuo left the remaining nine oxen, took the knife, and fled his hometown, traveling around.On this day, he came to the area where the Qiang people lived. Unexpectedly, he met the leader of the Qiang people again. The leader was very happy and treated Dong Zhuo as a guest of honor, calling him "Adi" affectionately. During the day, he took Dong Zhuo to hunt and taught Dong Zhuo how to ride a horse and shoot arrows.It was at that time that Dong Zhuo's ability to draw a bow from both sides while riding a horse was developed at that time.They also taught Dong Zhuo to fight wild beasts with bare hands.

Later, Dong Zhuo went to Beijing to control the government and caused chaos in the capital.There was a minister named Wu Fu who was so angry that he planned to assassinate Dong Zhuo in front of the palace with a sword in his arms.Dong Zhuo found out, he kicked Shandao flying, grabbed Wu Fu's arm, and yelled, you boy can't rebel if you want to!Wu Fu said, you are not a ruler, and I am not a minister, so where did the rebellion come from.Dong Zhuo was furious, swung Wu Fu with one arm, and threw Wu Fu down the steps.Looking at Wu Fu who was thrown half to death, Dong Zhuo sneered, the old man once fell to death a wolf, with your small body, you still come to assassinate, live in the barren hills for two years and then come again.This is something to do later, not to show.

Just say that Dong Zhuo is in the Qiang camp.In the evening, the Qiang people and Dong Zhuo got together, eating and drinking wildly.Qiang people are very wild, and they brought an animal when they were drinking. Someone stood up in a drunken state, holding a sharp boning knife, stepped forward, and grabbed the horn or ear of the animal with his left hand. The sharp knife in his right hand had pierced the animal's neck, and blood gushed out like a spring.Immediately, someone came over with a big jar, filled it up, and poured them one by one into the wine bowls on the table.The bloody smell permeated the entire tent, choking people's noses.Dong Zhuo felt nauseous at first, but later he got used to it, and could not drink wine or eat meat without smelling the bloody smell.

At night, the leaders also found some women from their own clan to accompany Dong Zhuo.These women are very tasteful, embellishing Dong Zhuo's nightlife colorfully. After several months, Dong Zhuo became homesick, and he left the Qiang living area.Before leaving, Dong Zhuo cupped his hands and said, I will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future! The Qiang people also said that we will meet again in the future. Many years later, Dong Zhuo made a fortune and became the governor of Xiliang.At that time, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out.Dong Zhuo led his army to suppress and suffered consecutive defeats.Bian Zhang and Han Sui made trouble in Liangzhou again, and Dong Zhuo was even more overwhelmed.The court hurriedly sent general Zhang Wen to supervise the battle.Zhang Wen ordered Dong Zhuo to fight against the enemy, but he was still defeated.Zhang Wen ordered Dong Zhuo to go to the commander-in-chief's mansion for questioning.Dong Zhuo is here.

However, he didn't come on time, but was an hour late.He didn't admit his mistake even when he was late, and his attitude was very arrogant, and he even made rude remarks.Zhang Wen was not very angry, but the soldier joining the army next to him saw it and was angry. Who is joining the army?Sun Jian.Sun Jian said to Zhang Wen, General, Dong Zhuo cannot be kept, and he will become a serious problem in the future, so it is better to get rid of him now.Zhang Wen shook his head, no, the war in Xiliang depends on him.We are not familiar with the place of life, it is even more difficult to win.Sun Jian said, the general's words are wrong. We led the king's division to suppress the rebels, and we are powerful in the world. How can we rely on Dong Zhuo? Besides, the famous generals in ancient times ruled the army with prestige.Dong Zhuo was the general of the defeated army. We killed him, and we will reverberate the entire army. If we let him go, the army's prestige will be damaged instead. The decree is unclear.

Zhang Wen didn't listen and let Dong Zhuo go anyway. Although Dong Zhuo was always defeated, he was very lucky. Many years later, he was summoned by He Jin to lead troops into Beijing, became a grand teacher, and took control of the government. In February of this year, the leader of the Qiang tribe who had an old friend with Dong Zhuo heard that Dong Zhuo was doing well, so he brought some followers and came to the capital to look for Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo was very happy and entertained them warmly. During the day, take them out of the city to play and hunt.On this day, when I went to Yangcheng, I encountered a gathering of thousands of villagers.Dong Zhuo ordered the sergeants to surround the venue.All the men were killed, their heads hung on the shaft of the chariot, and all the women and belongings were escorted back to Beijing.Along the way, the sergeants shouted, crusade against the rebels, and returned with a big victory.

In the evening, Dong Zhuo took the Qiang people and all the civil and military officials to drink in the palace.When he was half drunk, Dong Zhuo ordered Lü Bu to pick up an official, behead him in public, take his blood and pour it into a wine urn, and everyone drank together.Everyone turned pale, but Dong Zhuo spoke freely without changing his face. After the banquet, all the officials dispersed.Dong Zhuo stayed overnight in the palace with the Qiang people, and ordered the maids to accompany them. A few days later, the Qiang people left.Dong Zhuo insisted on sending them outside the city.

On the street, I met a man who was Zhang Wen, who had been the leader of Dong Zhuo.Now Zhang Wen ranks among the three princes in the court, and he is Sikong. Dong Zhuo pointed at Zhang Wen with his whip right away, this guy has an affair with foreign bandits, and he wants to cooperate with Brother Yuan Shu and harm me, what do you think should be done? The subordinates said that he should be executed! Dong Zhuo said, left and right, and I will take it down and beat hard. Immediately went to the two military academies and took Zhang Wen down. He had no head and no face, and he was messed up with sticks, only to see blood and flesh flying everywhere.Poor Zhang Wen, he died unexpectedly before he understood what was going on.

If he had listened to Sun Jian's words back then, he would not have suffered the disaster of today. Dong Zhuo turned around and said to the Qiang people, look, how is Dong doing now?In the eyes of Dong, the court official is nothing more than a worthless person, and Dong will kill him if he wants to.When I ate roast beef with you on the grass slope, how could I have thought that it would be as grand as it is today! The Qiang people said in unison, Taishi is really a hero in the world, and no one can match him from ancient times to the present. Hahaha, Dong Zhuo laughed, happy, happy! At this time, something unexpected happened to the Qiang people. The armored soldiers behind Dong Zhuo approached with sharp knives and quickly surrounded them. The Qiang people exclaimed, Dong Gong, what is the meaning of this? Dong Zhuo still laughed and said, no other intention, I like blood, so exciting! The light of the knife flashed, and blood gushed out. Dong Zhuo was a general of the Han Dynasty in his early years. He quelled the rebellion of ethnic minorities in the West. Later, he participated in the war against the Yellow Turban Uprising. Dong Zhuo supported his own self-respect and stationed troops in Hedong. He refused to accept the imperial conscript and gave up his military power. When He Jin was killed in the great chaos in Kyoto, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to enter Beijing and took control of the central government.Later, Dong Zhuo abolished Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty and established Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. The alliance of Kwantung princes attacked Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo abandoned Luoyang and moved his capital to Chang'an.Dong Zhuo was abusive by nature. After he came to power, he levied and extorted violently, which aroused public indignation, and was finally murdered by Wang Yun and Lu Bu.Dong Zhuo was rough and decisive. He was promoted from a local official stationed in the frontier fortress to Habayashiro, and moved to the Western Region Wuji Xiaowei, Bingzhou Governor, and Hedong Prefecture.In the first year of Zhongping (AD 184), after the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, they were ordered to suppress Xianling Qiang in Beidi, Conghu in Huangzhongyi, Bianzhang and Han Sui from Jincheng who responded to the uprising, and were defeated repeatedly.When Emperor Ling was critically ill, he stationed at the east of the Tunhe River, supported his troops and waited for the incident.After the death of Emperor Ling, General He Jin and Sili Captain Yuan Shao conspired to kill the eunuchs, and despite the objections of the courtiers, they privately summoned Dong Zhuo to Beijing.Dong Zhuo led his troops to the capital and became powerful. He deposed the young emperor and appointed King Chenliu as the emperor.Dong Zhuo indulged his soldiers in looting property and looting women wantonly in Luoyang City, calling it "search and prison".Indiscriminate torture and punishment caused people to panic, and the internal and external bureaucrats were in danger. At the same time, he restored the reputation of the party members and appointed scholar-officials in an attempt to win people's hearts.In the first year of Chuping (AD 190), Jizhou Mu Han Fu, Yuan Shao, Sun Jian and others launched an army to denounce Dong Zhuo.The rest of the Yellow Turbans also raised troops in the Kanto region one after another.Dong Zhuo hijacked Emperor Xian to Chang'an, the western capital, and burned Luoyang palaces, government offices and homes, forcing millions of residents to move with him, leaving the 200 miles around Luoyang barren and desolate, without any human habitation.In April of the third year of Chuping (AD 192), Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu when he entered the court.After the news spread, the common people danced and danced on the road, and celebrated each other with wine and meat.Dong Zhuo was buried in the street, and his family was wiped out.
