The Lieutenant Dong mentioned by Li Ru was Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's father, Dong Junya, gave birth to Dong Zhuo and Dong Min when he was serving as the Lieutenant of Lunshi County, Yingchuan County, Yuzhou, so the two brothers were named Zhongying and Shuying respectively.

.

Dong Zhuo Dong Zhongying, a native of Lintao, Longxi Province, grew up in Liangzhou. He was fond of chivalry and righteousness since he was a child, and made friends with Qiang leaders. According to legend, when Dong Zhuo was farming in his hometown, some Qiang leaders came to visit him, and Dong Zhuo was able to kill the family's cattle.

The Qiang leaders were so moved that after returning, they gathered thousands of various livestock and presented them to Dong Zhuo. From this rumor, we can see how good the relationship between Dong Zhuo and the Qiang people was.

In the last years of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo was awarded the title of Yu Linlang, and he followed Zhang Huan, the middle man who protected the Huns, to attack the Qiang people of Hanyang. Dong Zhuo was ruthless, resourceful, and unparalleled in strength. He was good at wearing two quivers and shooting left and right while riding a horse.

His law was accurate. Therefore, he repeatedly made military exploits and was promoted to the rank of doctor. He successively served as the magistrate of Guangwu County, the captain of the northern part of Shu County, and the queen of Wuji School in the Western Regions. He was dismissed by the court for brutal murders, corruption and perversion of the law.

During the Xiping period, Dong Zhuo was recruited as a sergeant by Situ Yuan Kui, and became an official promoted by the Yuan family, the "Fourth Generation and Three Dukes". As a result, he was quickly reused and later served as the governor of Bingzhou and the governor of Hedong County. Naturally, they were all appointed by the Yuan family.

He worked hard behind the scenes.

The old advocate Huan lived in seclusion in Huayin County, Hongnong County. Dong Zhuo sent his brother Dong Zhuo to give him a hundred horses. Zhang Huan hated Dong Zhuo and refused. Although Dong Zhuo was resentful, because Zhang Huan was deeply loved by the local people, his disciples

There were thousands of people, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, he had no choice but to give up and not dare to harm him. Zhang Huan died a good death at the age of seventy-eight. The people of Wuwei County built a shrine for him and worshiped him endlessly.

Later, Dong Zhuo participated in suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but due to the unfavorable outcome of the war, he was imprisoned by the court and almost sentenced to death. Naturally, he was dissatisfied with the Emperor of Han Dynasty. He was later pardoned due to the universal amnesty.

Later, he followed Sikong Zhang Wen and put down the rebellion in Liangzhou. During this period, Dong Zhuo was promoted to the general of Polu, and attacked with Bao Hong of You Fufeng, defeating the rebels and beheading thousands of people. Zhang Wen sent six groups of troops.

, five of them, including Zhou Shen, all ended in failure. Only Dong Zhuo's army was fully mobilized and stationed in Youfufeng.

As a result, Dong Zhuo received a commendation from the court and was named the Marquis of Zhuxiang, with a fief of 1,000 households. Since then, Dong Zhuo has become the most famous person in the Dong family, and naturally people from all walks of life will come to join him. Dong Zhuo now has selfish motives.

, naturally he accepted all comers, and his personal followers numbered in the thousands.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, the Liangzhou rebels re-entered Youfufeng and besieged Chencang County. In November, the imperial court appointed Huangfu Song as the general of the left, and the former general Dong Zhuo led 20,000 troops each to rescue Chencang. Dong Zhuo was eager to make a contribution.

He suggested to Huangfu Song that he should march quickly so that he could succeed in the battle.

Huangfu Song believed that the defense of Chencang County was strong and the Liangzhou rebels would definitely be unable to capture it. Our army could achieve complete victory as long as we stayed put and waited for work. So he did not adopt Dong Zhuo's suggestion and reported the matter to the court.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an edict to levy Dong Zhuo as the Young Mansion, which was actually a plan to ascend and surrender secretly in order to seize his military power. Dong Zhuo refused to accept the order and wrote a letter to refuse: "My subordinate Yi Cong from Huangzhong was stopped by the Huns."

My chariots and horses beg me not to abandon them. I cannot stop them. I can only stay and comfort them. I cannot leave. I also ask for your forgiveness. If the situation changes, I will report to the court."

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was helpless and was naturally very worried. In the spring and February of the sixth year of Zhongping, the Liangzhou rebels besieged Chencang County for more than 80 days without success and retreated exhausted. Huangfu Song ordered a pursuit, but Dong Zhuo dissuaded him, believing that "poor bandits should not be defeated"

Pursue and return to the masses without forcing them." Huangfu Song believed: "The rebels are tired troops who have lost their fighting spirit, rather than poor bandits who have returned to the masses. This is actually the best time to pursue and annihilate them."

Later, Huangfu Song ordered Dong Zhuo to take the throne, and he personally led the army to pursue him. During this battle, he won consecutive battles and beheaded more than 10,000 rebel heads. The rebel leader Guo Guo died of illness on the way to escape shortly after his escape. From then on, Huangfu

Song became famous in one battle and was highly appreciated by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, Dong Zhuo hated Huangfu Song very much, thinking that he blocked his promotion path and refused to give him a chance.

At this time, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was already terminally ill and did not have much time left. Therefore, he issued another edict to appoint Dong Zhuo as the pastor of Bingzhou, and transferred his troops to Huangfu Song, so as to take the opportunity to avoid future troubles.

However, Dong Zhuo only accepted the appointment, but refused to hand over military power. He wrote a letter to defend himself: "I have been in charge of the army for ten years, and the soldiers have a very good relationship with me. They all work desperately for me. I beg to take these soldiers with me."

Merge the prefecture so that we can serve the border together and fulfill our determination to defend the border."

Huangfu Li persuaded his uncle Huangfu Song to take the opportunity to get rid of Dong Zhuo, but Huangfu Song refused. He just reported Dong Zhuo's refusal to hand over military power to the court. So Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued another edict to blame Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo naturally blamed Huangfu Song.

Even more resentful.

In the end, Dong Zhuo did not dare to disobey the Holy Order anymore, so he took only 5,000 direct troops and horses with him, and these people set out with him towards Bingzhou. However, Dong Zhuo only led his troops to stay in Hedong County, and he excused himself from illness and stagnated. Because

Dong Zhuo also heard that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was seriously ill, and he wanted to assess the situation here before making a decision.

However, in April, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, and then General He Jin actually took power. However, General He Jin conspired with Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili School, to kill the eunuchs of the dynasty. Because the emperor was young, the man in power

Empress Dowager He refused to issue an edict, so He Jin and Yuan Shao privately recruited Dong Zhuo to lead troops to the capital in order to force Empress Dowager He to submit.

Dong Zhuo was overjoyed when he learned about it, and he immediately set off for Luoyang, the capital. At the same time, Dong Zhuo wrote a letter of impeachment to Zhang Rang and other ten eunuchs, confessing their crimes and hoping that the emperor would be able to make decisions for the people of the world. In fact, Dong Zhuo's letter

, just for myself, I made good excuses before going to Beijing to quell the rebellion.

But not long after, the general He Jin regretted it, and he sent an admonishment to the official Zhong Shao to dissuade Dong Zhuo from going to the capital. Zhong Shao met Dong Zhuo in Lianchi and asked Dong Zhuo to return to Hedong County to attack the exiled Huns.

Shanyu Yufuluo and Dong Zhuo resolutely refused to comply, continued to write a letter to defend themselves, and continued to advance with their troops. At this time, the troops had reached Luoyang.

Under the pressure of Dong Zhuo's advance, Empress Dowager He finally agreed to issue an edict to remove the eunuchs. When Dong Zhuo led his army to the outside of Luoyang City, Zhong Shao once again asked Dong Zhuo to withdraw his troops when he was leaving the city to work with his troops. Dong Zhuo ordered his soldiers to come forward and threaten Zhong Shao. Zhong Shao was furious.

He rebuked Dong Zhuo. Knowing that he was wrong, Dong Zhuo led his army to retreat westward to Xiyang Pavilion, twenty miles outside Luoyang City, to reorganize his troops.

On August 25, the sixth year of Zhongping, General He Jin and Yuan Shao, the commander of the Sili School, plotted to kill the eunuchs, but the Queen Mother He refused. So General He Jin summoned Dong Zhuo to send his troops to the capital, and secretly ordered Dong Zhuo to write a letter saying:

: "Zhang Rang, the constant servant, and others stole the favor and took advantage of it, causing chaos in the sea. In the past, Zhao Yang promoted the army of Jinyang to drive away the evil on the side of the emperor. The ministers often rang bells and drums like Luoyang, asking for concessions."

General He Jin prepared to use Dong Zhuo's army to coerce the Queen Mother He into agreeing to kill the Ten Changshis headed by Zhang Rang. However, before Dong Zhuo arrived, He Jin had been murdered by the eunuchs. It turned out that Zhang Rang and other eunuchs had already known that the great general was the emperor.

General He Jin wanted to kill all his enemies, so they plotted to find a way to get rid of He Jin so as to leave themselves a chance to survive.

But they don't understand people's hearts too well. The person who really wants to kill them is not General He Jin, who was born as a butcher and lacks strategy, but Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu ​​who have been hiding beside General He Jin. The Yuan family is here

By that time, the Yuan family had already become famous all over the world, and the "Four Generations and Three Dukes" of the Yuan family had already become famous all over the world.

I don’t know if others have ambitions, but why did Yuan Shao, who was a tiger general, become a lieutenant among the eight lieutenants in Xiyuan? It turns out that the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong’s favorite prince was Wang Mei’s second love.

The prince Liu Xie. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty wanted to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one, but because he was seriously ill, he asked the eunuch Xiao Huangmen Jian Shuo to help Liu Xie succeed, so he established the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan. This was used to divide the general He Jin.

Jian Shuo naturally had the ambition to eliminate He Jin and establish Liu Xie as emperor.

Among the eight captains of Xiyuan, Xiaohuangmen Jian Shuo is the upper military captain; Huben Zhonglang Yuan Shao is the middle military captain; Tunqi Commander Bao Hong is the lower military captain; Yilang Cao Cao is the dian military captain; Zhao Rong is the assistant.

The military academy captain; Chunyu Qiong is the assistant military academy captain; Xia Mou, the admonishing doctor, is the left academy captain; Cao Jie's son-in-law Feng Fang is the right academy captain.

Unfortunately, God was not in his favor. While Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was making plans, he died early in April. The eight noble children who had made careful preparations originally wanted to use their family power to succeed their beloved son Liu Xie as the chief minister.

.Based on the eight of them, whether inside or outside the palace, there is enough power to rival the He family. Only in this way can we truly fight without bloodshed, gradually weaken the He family's military power, and avoid the need for war.

However, since the death of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, the eight Xiyuan captains have had different intentions. Without him in charge, how could they all focus on assisting the young master Liu Xie? Not to mention the thoughts in Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong's mind,

I only told Jian Shuo of Xiaohuangmen. Because in the heart of Han Ling Emperor Liu Xie, the most reliable of these people, and only Jian Shuo, a eunuch, was the best choice!

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong knew that only Jian Shuo of Xiaohuangmen would not rebel against the imperial power. Among these eight people, why should Jian Shuo be appointed as a military academy captain? He also specifically informed that all the academy captains belonged to Jian Shuo. He ordered Xiaohuangmen

Jian Shuo was in charge of all the armies and was directly ordered by Emperor Liu Hong. At that time, the Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan were so powerful that even General He Jin had to take orders from them.

It is conceivable that when the eight captains of Xiyuan were set up, Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was prepared to give these eight people such important responsibilities and honors. These eight people are all smart people, so how could they not know what they would do in the future?

Status? It means that the forces of these eight families are all condensed together so that they can be used by Liu Xie and also as a talisman for his mother, Empress Dowager Dong.

Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty Liu Hong's idea was that his mother, Empress Dowager Dong, would be the regent and rule the world on behalf of her son Liu Xie. In a few years, Liu Xie would naturally inherit the throne when he was older, and he would not be like when he succeeded to the throne.

, causing so much killing and bloodshed.

However, after the death of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, the prince Liu Bian, born to the He family, ascended the throne and respected his mother He family as the empress dowager, with He family serving as regent. At that time, the maternal relative He family had the general He Jin who commanded the world's troops, and

My own Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan only has the troops of the Forbidden Army and the Imperial City. How can he compete with the General He Jin?

After He came to serve as regent, the hussar general Dong Chong, the nephew of Queen Mother Dong, and the general He Jin, brother of He, competed for power. The eunuchs relied on Dong Zhong as party support. However, Queen Mother Dong always wanted to interfere with the country.

The He family would always stop political affairs, and the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was completely broken!

How could the Queen Mother Dong endure such grievances? She scolded angrily: "You are so arrogant now because you rely on your brother He Jin! I could order the hussar general Dong Chong to chop off He Jin's head, and it would be just a matter of effort!"
