The form of warlords in the late Western Han Dynasty, who can give an answer

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two famous battles of winning more with less were: the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi.

The historical significance of the Battle of Guandu: It laid the foundation for Cao Cao's unification of northern China. It is one of the famous battles in Chinese history to win the weak to guess the strong, the Eastern Han Dynasty dedicated the emperor to Jian'an for five years, Cao Cao's army and Yuan Shao's army held each other in Guandu, and fought a decisive battle in this strategy.

Cao Cao made a surprise attack on Yuan's granary at Wuchao, and then routed Yuan's main force.

The historical significance of the Battle of Chibi: It was a famous military battle in the Three Kingdoms period in which the few won more and the weak conquered the strong, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the Three Kingdoms. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao no longer had any relatives and friends to go south, and his desire to unify the whole country came to naught; Sun Quan stabilized Jiangdong and developed into the Lingnan region; Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou and developed towards Yizhou.

The Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Guandu.

The decline of the imperial court, and the famine that occurred at the time, triggered the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which hastened the demise of the dynasty.

The warlord pattern in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was caused by the Yellow Turban Uprising, which had broken the regime's ability to control the localities.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the internal political corruption and darkness of the imperial court, foreign relatives and eunuchs interfered in politics, and they were unable to govern local forces, which caused a situation of division between the heroes.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the increasingly acute land annexation, the landlords had their own soldiers and horses, coupled with the corruption and darkness of the internal politics of the imperial court, and the eunuchs of foreign relatives interfered in politics, and they were unable to govern local forces, thus causing a situation of division between the heroes.

In the later stage of the development of local Haoqiang, it gradually divided into two camps: the scholar clan and the Hanmen. Among them, the scholar clan has an advantage in land and power, and therefore has the strength to monopolize the top level, forming a special scholar politics in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasty periods.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the blow of the Yellow Turban peasant uprising, the power of centralized power was greatly weakened, and powerful people rose up one after another, forming a situation of warlord melee. Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was established as emperor by Dong Zhuo at the age of nine (189), and was deposed by King Cao in 220, reigning for more than 30 years.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, and the majestic Han Dynasty, which had a history of 400 years, gradually fell apart in the smoke of gunpowder. During this period, there were also countless heroes loyal to the Han who did their best to save the Han Dynasty and gave up their lives, such as Wang Yun, Dong Cheng, Xun Yu, etc. The cycle of heaven is endless, and the collapse of the Han Dynasty is embarrassing, what is the root cause of it?

The author's point of view is as follows:

As a direct cause, the Yellow Turban Army broke the traditional pattern. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty finally suppressed the Yellow Turban Army uprising, it also exhausted the last trace of true yuan. In order to deal with the rebel army, the imperial court had to give the local ** more and more power, military power, administrative power and financial power, and everything that could be put or not was given to the local government!

It's like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, the rebel army is pressed, but the shepherds everywhere are in a big trend. The Yellow Turban Army failed, but peasant uprisings emerged in various places, and the shepherds in various places did the greatest thing in the name of conquest and suppression, and the emperor's power was compressed and compressed, and the emperor-centered structure was broken, and by the time of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, it was basically useless.

The fundamental reason for the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty is the weakness of imperial power! We know that the origin of the chaos at the end of the Han Dynasty was the uprising of the Yellow Turban Army, and the fuse was the abolition of Dong Zhuo's private line in Beijing, and the reason why Dong Zhuo entered Beijing was called by his relative He Jin, and the reason why He Jin summoned was the dictatorship of the eunuchs and the ten permanent servants. Whether it is a relative or a eunuch, alternating dictatorship became the norm in the late Han Dynasty, and the fundamental reason for this was the weakness of imperial power.

In the middle and late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was almost always such a logic: the new emperor was young, his mother was involved in politics, and then his relatives were in power. When the young master grows up and wants to break the situation, the most direct thing he can turn to is the eunuch who is close.

And when eunuchs are powerful, those who can be able to restrain them are often ...... relatives

The cycle repeats, and the cycle repeats. The entire regime in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was like a huge pendulum, oscillating between relatives and eunuchs. The dynasty is weak, and the people are struggling to survive. Finally, in the swing from left to right, the Eastern Han Dynasty sounded the death knell for itself.

In addition, due to the chain reaction of the yellow turban, it is to let the place protect itself. All over the country naturally recruited troops, and when it was over, the imperial court was no longer the original imperial court, and if there was a stable imperial court after the suppression at that time, then there might not be so many forces to fight for power and profit.

The fundamental reason is the competition for the world. Because the Han Dynasty's dominance was declining, all the warlords wanted to unify the Central Plains and establish their own regime.

Because at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court had no rights, and all the princes wanted to destroy each other, so as to expand their territory and let themselves be kings and hegemons, which is why the warlords fought in a melee.

The emperor had too little real power, and the various princes wanted to fight for greater power, so they grabbed territory and fought against each other.

I think the main reason is that there are many talented people, and there is also the result that they are very ambitious and unwilling to be a person who is above ten thousand people under one person.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not only did the relatives in power, but also the eunuchs were in power, which was very chaotic, and when Dong Zhuo entered the Central Plains, it intensified the warlord melee.
