Why did Dong Zhuo, who held the Son of Heaven hostage and leaned towards the government and the oppo

Dong Zhuo didn't have such strong financial resources to feed so many people at that time, so he could only give the policy and let his subordinates go to rob, and how much he grabbed depended on his own ability. But historical experience has proved that most of the rulers who plundered their own territory did not end well.

Of course, Dong Zhuo has brains, but his weakness is that he is too lustful, so he will be stabbed to death by Lu Bu for the sake of Diao Chan.

The reason why Dong Zhuo failed was not because he was not IQ enough or had problems with emotional intelligence, but because he failed to win the hearts of the people, and I think this is the main reason for his failure.

It's definitely not right, Dong Zhuo definitely can't be without brains, there must be something that can mix so well for a while in troubled times.

Of course, Dong Zhuo is not brainless. Dong Zhuo's perverse behavior soon provoked a chain reaction, which is the truth that the extreme of things must be reversed.

In fact, I personally think that this is not the case, he can achieve such a high position, there must be his superiority, in fact, his opponent is too strong, plus he is negligent for a while.

Tell us that the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! The times create heroes, and the humble little people will also usher in their own glorious moments, we must firmly believe that I am born to be useful, and wait for the time to come.

Main content: In April of the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty died in Jiade Palace, and was succeeded by the Young Emperor Liu Wei. Because Liu Wei was young and did not know anything, the Empress Dowager He temporarily listened to the government, and the general He Jin presided over the government, and the imperial power was even more weak.

The struggle between eunuchs and relatives for the special power to control the imperial power became increasingly fierce. The two sides did not hesitate to use all means to squeeze each other out and fight to the death.

Dong Zhuo, who was well aware of the factional disputes in the imperial court, was overjoyed when he learned the news of Emperor Ling's death, and he closely watched the movements of various factions in the imperial court, ready to take corresponding measures at any time, and acted at the opportunity. Abolish the young emperor, set up the emperor, and control the government.

Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, fled to Chenliu, and issued an edict to unite the princes to discuss Dong Zhuo. Guan and Zhang Jiaren joined forces, Guan Yu Wenjiu beheaded Huaxiong, and the three of them worked together to defeat Dong Zhuoxiao's general Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo forced the emperor to move the capital to Chang'an, burned Luoyang, Cao Cao led his troops to pursue, the ambush was defeated, the princes had different intentions, and the coalition forces dispersed and attacked each other.

Dong Zhuo became more and more arrogant and tyrannical in Chang'an, and Situ Wang Yun skillfully set up a series of schemes, first marrying the singer Diao Chan in the house to Lu Bu, and then offering it to Dong Zhuo, separating the two. Lu Bu and Wang Yunhe killed Dong Zhuo, but were defeated by Dong Zhuo's remnants Li Dao and Guo Yan; Wang Yun was killed, and Li and Guo took power.

The gap is relatively large, Cao Cao has personal strength, Cao Cao can control the whole situation very well, and is very rational, and will not particularly rely on the emperor.

The difference between them is that their perception of themselves is different, and the status they want is different, which leads to their supporters being different.

Of course, the gap between the two is very large, the time chosen by the two is different, and secondly, because the status of the emperor is different.

Dong Zhuo was too blatant, did not listen to the emperor, developed his own strength, and did not respect the emperor, so Dong Zhuo would fail.

The gap is in strategy. Dong Zhuo is a brave and resourceful person, and Cao Cao is a brave and resourceful person, so there will be such a gap and result.

It is because of the personalities of Cao Cao and Dong Zhuo that there are many differences, Cao Cao is very smart, and it was also because of the time and location at that time that he was successful.

Because Cao Cao had a lot of power at that time, his support for the Han family was more recognized by everyone, so he would succeed.

First of all, Cao Cao was a thoughtful person, and he was more ruthless than Dong Zhuo in many cases, and his political ideas were very advanced.

Because Cao Cao's territory was all fought down by Cao Cao, Cao Cao had the final say, Emperor Han Xian was equivalent to a guest, and his influence was minimal, while Dong Zhuo's Han experienced hundreds of years of deep-rooted business, and Dong Zhuo was a guest.

Cao Cao gave enough pomp and circumstance to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and on the surface he was respectful to the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo, who is reckless and ambitious, is undoubtedly exposed.

Because the two of them used different skills, and both of them had different strategies, Cao Cao's strategies were relatively successful.

Although both of them are coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but the two have very different approaches, Cao Cao first gained the hearts of the people, and then did not replace the Son of Heaven, but assisted, in the eyes of outsiders, it is Cao Cao who is assisting the Son of Heaven, in fact, Cao Cao has the final say, and Dong Zhuo is the first to burn and kill the plunder, causing the anger of the people and gods, and killing the old master, and the other crowd resisted, so in the end Cao Cao succeeded, and Dong Zhuo failed.

Because Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes just for pleasure, he did not make a long-term plan. And Cao Cao took advantage of the weather to continuously expand his power and coerce the princes of all parties to do things according to his ideas.

Because when Dong Zhuo coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the power of the Han Dynasty still existed, and Dong Zhuo was equivalent to usurping the throne, so he was united to exterminate it, and Cao Cao was sent in the snow when the Han Dynasty was desperate, and the affection was very large, so Cao Cao succeeded.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Han dynasty declined, and the heroes competed for the Central Plains. Among them, Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao successively held the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty hostage to command the world, but Dong Zhuo soon failed, but Cao Cao succeeded. Why did the two use the same strategy but turn out to be very different?

Many people may think that this is because Dong Zhuo is brutal and has an unstable foundation, while Cao Cao is not so brutal and has a stable team support. This is indeed one of the reasons for the difference in the outcome of the two, but it is not the root cause. Fundamentally, the world environment faced by Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao is completely different.

During Dong Zhuo's hijacking of the Son of Heaven, the Han Dynasty basically quelled the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and most of the prefectures and counties were still under the control of the Han Dynasty. In other words, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty at that time could still command the world and had real power. At this time, the Son of Heaven has become the target of many forces.

Yuan Shao and others also raised troops in the name of crusading against Dong Zhuo.

And when Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage, the princes of the world were separated, and the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty only had the meaning of commanding the world in name. The princes who occupied the prefectures and counties became self-reliant and only nominally obeyed the Son of Heaven. For example, Liu Bei later established himself as the king of Hanzhong just to give a table to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he did not wait for the consent of the emperor of the Han Dynasty controlled by Cao Cao, so he claimed the king himself.

It can be said that the period when Dong Zhuo held the Son of Heaven hostage of the Han Dynasty was the last years of the old dynasty, although the ruler of the dynasty lost a strong force to ensure the smooth implementation of his orders, but there was still a very strong appeal, and many places still had the dream of rebuilding the glory of the dynasty. Including Wang Yun, Lu Bu and others, they also had the ambition to compete for the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty to call for the world, and the period when Cao Cao held the Son of Heaven hostage was the germ of a new dynasty. The rulers of the dynasty not only lost their powerful forces, but also lost their nominal appeal. The local ** and the wealthy clan no longer have the idea of rebuilding the glory of the dynasty, just like Lu Su advised Sun Quan,"The Han dynasty cannot be revived"。

The local ** turned to self-proclaimed king or set up another **, and the centripetal force of the old dynasty no longer existed.

The Son of Heaven, as a symbol of the old dynasty, although conducive to exerting residual heat, will also become a stumbling block and an unstable factor for himself to establish a new dynasty. Therefore, at this time, many princes, including Yuan Shao, did not all want to"Hijacking the Emperor of Han"Cao Cao's act of holding the Son of Han hostage would not be coveted by other powerful princes.

Because Cao Cao blackmailed the Son of Heaven to unify the north and treat the local people well, he succeeded. On the contrary, Dong Zhuo did whatever he wanted, and he also messed up the world, so he failed.

Dong Zhuo was more selfish and did not give benefits to other princes, and Cao Cao knew how to win over the princes in order to succeed in the end.

Because no one used Diao Chan to deal with Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo's failure was largely because of Diao Chan.

Dong Zhuoshi is unknown. But Cao Cao is different, he has a legitimate reason, so all the princes must listen to him.

Because although Cao Cao's ultimate goal was to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he did not show his ambitions from the beginning, but first rescued Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and married his daughter to him, gaining the hearts of the people step by step.
