Why did Dong Zhuo fail while Cao Cao succeeded in coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

Because Dong Zhuo doesn't have a lot of respect for the Son of Heaven. And his strength is not strong. And Cao Cao was very strategic. So it can be successful.

I think the main reason is Cao Cao's political toughness, and the result of his excellent leadership skills, while Dong Zhuo is the opposite.

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.

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.

Because Dong Zhuo did not have Cao Cao's strategy.

Didn't hold it hostage to the Son of Heaven. It is also related to personal ability.

Dong Zhuo does not have this strategic mind, his direct purpose is to be the emperor himself, while Cao Cao knows how to use roundabout tactics and does not want the name of the emperor, but he has the reality of the emperor.

Cao Cao is both civil and military, and his strategy is outstanding. And Dong Zhuo is just a martial artist, how could he think of it.

I don't have that idea, or I don't want to do it, or I can't do it.

Because Dong Zhuo is completely a fool, Cao Cao is a military strategist, politician, writer, and a generation of heroes, Dong Zhuo can only be regarded as a reckless man at most.

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.

Because Dong Zhuo is more violent, and he is more greedy for glory and wealth, on the contrary, Cao Cao is bent on the great cause of unification, I think this is because of the personalities of the two people.

Because Dong Zhuo was extremely brutal, he attacked dissidents and was unpopular, while Cao Cao was able to know people and be good at his duties, and he was a corporal of etiquette and virtue, and he was supported by everyone.

Cao Cao didn't claim the title of emperor right away, but Dong Zhuo set himself up as emperor, which didn't work.

Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao both controlled the government by absolute force and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. But the biggest difference is that Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao face an essential difference in the political situation. This is the primary problem, when Dong Zhuo made his fortune, the state system of the Eastern Han Dynasty was still there, that is, the Han Dynasty had not yet declined.

There is also when Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao controlled Emperor Xian, Emperor Xian's status was not the same at that time, and during Dong Zhuo's period, Emperor Xian still had certain political forces and interest groups to rely on, such as Wang Yun, Lu Bu, Yuan Shao and so on. Without the support of the scholars, the dependence of interest groups was also the main reason for Dong Zhuo's failure, Dong Zhuo wanted to win over the support of the scholar class for him, and for this reason he lifted the ban on the party and promoted the scholars who had been deposed in the disaster of the party.
