What was life like after the Xi 'an incident in the Eastern Han Dynasty?

After getting rid of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, who was in the third year of Chuping (A.D. 192), sat on the "top spot" of the rulers of China at that time, and gradually fainted with his fever.

Dong Zhuo is dead, but his army is still there. How to deal with Dong Zhuo's former subordinates? It has become a big issue of policy and strategy, which is related to personal life and court safety. But it was on this fatal issue that Wang Yun made a big mistake.

As far as the situation after Dong Zhuo's death is concerned, it once developed in the direction of benefiting Lu Bu's bing army and the scholar government headed by Wang Yun. The main force of Liangzhou Army stationed in Shan county east of Chang 'an naturally left the camp after learning of Dong Zhuo's death.

The commander-in-chief of Liangzhou Army is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu. The sudden death of his father-in-law caused him great doubts. Where is the future of Xiliang Army? At this time, an intimate "master" pointed him out in time, and Niu Fu took preventive measures according to the master's suggestion and killed his general Dong Yue.

Unexpectedly, the "master" was not allowed this time, but the preventive measures led to riots in his own camp. Niu Fu simply left with a huge amount of gold and silver and several cronies such as Hu Cheer. Who knows the old saying: people die for money, birds die for food, and Niu Fu was cut off by these cronies and robbed of gold and silver.

At this time, the Xiliang army group was leaderless. Under the discussion of a group of junior officers, it is proposed to ask the central government of Chang 'an for an Amnesty order, that is, the safety of Xiliang soldiers must be guaranteed after surrender. This request is not too much, just ask Wang Yun to save his life.

It's a pity that Wang Yun's reply was too hasty, saying that Liangzhou Army was not guilty. Why should he be pardoned? Whether this seemingly generous answer is smart or stupid is a matter of course. However, the Liangzhou army did not get reassurance (the Amnesty was not in hand), but heard the rumors that Wang Yun and Lu Bu wanted to kill all of us Liangzhou people!

The rumors of killing Liangzhou people are not all groundless, but the killing of Ding Yansi and Cai Bozhen. Ding Yansi, the story is unknown. Cai Xiebo is a well-known scholar, Cai Yong, who knows everything by heart, and Ding Yansi, a column of Cai Yong, who must also be celebrities. Cai Yong was killed, during which there were many memorable places.

The cause of Cai Yong's death is recorded in Xie Cheng's Book of the Later Han Dynasty and Ye Fan's Book of the Later Han Dynasty. That is to say, when Cai Yong learned that Dong Zhuo was killed, he could not help sighing, which was considered by Wang Yun as a sign of sympathy for Dong Zhuo. Wang Yun's logic is: We will oppose what the enemy supports, and we will support what the enemy opposes. Dong Zhuo is a traitor, and you don't like mourning in Cai Yong, so you must be Dong Zhuo's accomplice.
