Who were the four villains in the Three Kingdoms era?
1. Dong Zhuo
When it comes to the villains of the Three Kingdoms era, the first thing we think of is Dong Zhuo. This gentleman was originally a Xiliang warlord, and it was almost impossible for him to get involved in the central government. It's a pity that the general He Jin was a fool at that time. In order to kill the eunuchs, he actually brought in peripheral warlords. In this way, Dong Zhuo was too embarrassed not to appear. Of course, the consequences of "killing a chicken with a bull's knife" are unpredictable. The Xiliang soldiers were originally uncivilized, and Dong Zhuo wanted to establish his authority for the first time, so the Xiliang soldiers raped and robbed women and property in the capital, causing chaos all over the city. People are panicked and their lives are in jeopardy.
What’s even more outrageous is that Dong Zhuo paid attention to the dead emperor and secretly ordered his soldiers to open the tomb of Emperor Ling and sweep away all the rare treasures inside (according to historical records , Dong Zhuo probably also set up a tomb robbing team, with Lu Bu as the captain, who dug up the tombs of emperors of various dynasties and the ancestral tombs of the ministers and below, and confiscated all the treasures. Later, Cao Cao also found inspiration from it). In addition, in order to improve his "record", Dong Zhuo also ordered the army to move in groups of innocent people. The men were beheaded and their heads were hung on the back of the carriage as "trophies." As for the women, they were taken back to the military camp as "symbols." Later, Dong Zhuo felt that he had done too many bad things and felt a little scared. People are generally afraid, and most of them want to do some good deeds to accumulate some virtue, but Dong Zhuo didn't. He felt that the source of the disaster was Luoyang, so he simply burned it and returned millions of people to Chang'an. Along the way, the people trampled on each other and the roads were filled with dead bodies. When he arrived in Chang'an, Dong Zhuo found a geomantic treasure place outside the city, built a clubhouse (also known as Xiwu), and wrapped himself up tightly.
Such a violent man is naturally close to death.
2. Guo Si
As Dong Zhuo's disciple, Guo Si's ability to do bad things is no less than that of his mentor. After Dong Zhuo was assassinated, the central court at the time issued a wanted order for his subordinates. When Guo Si and others were in trouble (Guo Si also had a good partner named Li Jue, who later fell out), they wanted to disband the army and flee back to their hometown, but after hearing the tactics of the army secretary Jia Xu, they decided to give it a try. As a result, an internal guide began to be circulated among the remnant army, which roughly means: "If the court does not pardon us, we should fight to the death. If we capture Chang'an, we can gain the world; if we cannot capture it, we will rob the women and property of the third assistant and return to the west." Hometown, you can still save your life."
It is said that there is no way to retreat, but there is a chance of victory. Guo Si commanded the rebel army and pointed his sword at the central army. Coupled with the bravery of the Xiliang army, they actually turned against the central army and defeated it. Chang'an fell. Firstly to vent his anger, and secondly to reward the soldiers, Guo Bang actually allowed the soldiers to plunder the city. Countless people and officials were killed and injured, and Chang'an suddenly became a dead city (of course, after venting his anger, Guo Bang did not dare to make too many mistakes. , also respect Han Xiandi as supreme).
Later, when there was a great famine in the country, Guo Si actually ordered the army to seize the court's disaster relief funds. Because the army was short of food, he allowed the army to plunder the few remaining grains from the people's homes, causing more than one million people in Guanzhong to starve to death. They fled and moved south one after another. Of course, Guo Si's life ended up being the same as that of his mentor Dong Zhuo, who turned against his subordinates and was executed.
3. Zuo Rong
Zao Rong’s reputation seems to be much lower-key than that of Dong Zhuo and others. But low-key people are often vicious when they do bad things. This Zuo Rong was originally a small local warlord with a few troops (probably tens of thousands of people). But in troubled times, this small number of people probably won't make much noise, so it's better to find a big tree to enjoy the shade. Therefore, Zuo Rong took his subordinates to seek refuge with Zhao Yu, the then governor of Guangling County. This Zhao Yu was an honest man and thought that Zuo Rong was sincerely loyal to him, so he treated him as a distinguished guest and held a grand banquet in his honor. As for Zuo Rong, seeing that Guangling County was rich in goods and people, and abandoning justice for profit, he actually killed Zhao Yu at the banquet and took over Guangling County.
It is not a good thing for the dove to occupy the magpie's nest, but if Guangling County can be managed well, at least it is not too evil. But Zuo Rong was a rough man and did not understand urban management. He actually ordered his soldiers to kill, burn, and plunder Guangling County. After a brutal "singing and laughter", he repeated his old tricks and invaded other places with property. In addition to Zhao Yu, those who suffered from his murderous hands were also Moling Chief Xue Li and Yuzhang Chief Zhu Hao. As for the people under his rule, there were countless others who were harassed by him. What is even more ironic is that Zuo Rong is also an out-and-out fanatical Buddhist.
4. Sun Hao
Compared to Zuo Rong and others, Sun Hao's status is much more noble. He should be regarded as the most ridiculous emperor during the Three Kingdoms period. Not only is it ridiculous, but it is also full of evil. This person has a habit of hating others looking at him, so his subordinates always have to lower their heads when talking to him. Anyone who accidentally glances at him will be convicted.
In addition, Sun Hao also extended his favor and sent eunuchs to various states and counties to "search" for beauties from private households. Anyone with some beauty would be included in the palace (at one time, there were more than a thousand beauties in the harem). However, Sun Hao had no sympathy for the people in the harem. He would immediately kill any concubine he didn't like and throw it into the water.
Of course, there are many other ways for Sun Hao to kill people. For example, skinning people's faces or gouging out people's eyes are considered childish. Historical records record an extreme example. There was an official named Wang Fan. At a certain banquet, he was probably ill, didn't drink much, and was afraid of being blamed, so he played a clever trick and pretended to be drunk. Sun Hao saw this and thought it was disrespectful to him, so he beheaded his highness on the spot. Before the matter was over, Sun Hao actually ordered his servants to dress up as tigers and wolves, throw Wang Fan's head around, and fight to eat it until the bloody head was broken into pieces.
