Paxton and the Throne of Secrets Chapter 5

Finally, let’s talk about this guy. Before criticizing him verbally, let’s take a drink of water.

I started to know about Thief Dong because I heard about him and Diao Chan when I was young. Later, I learned that Diao Chan was 16 years old and Dong Thief was 57 years old (it seemed that everyone else was already quite old at that time, Cao Cao was 38 years old, Daxton Lu and Cao Cao were the same age, and Liu Bei was 36 years old), and I thought that Dong Thief was really a beast. So when I learned that Fu Mingxia was getting married last year, I suddenly thought of Dong Thief and Diao Chan.

Later, when I watched Three Kingdoms, I hated him from the beginning. He was driven all over the mountain like a pig by the blind soldiers Paxton, but Liu Guan and Zhang still kept dragging him after he rescued him. Later, he led troops to Beijing, deposed the emperor, and killed the queen mother. Everything he did was unreasonable. 

You could tell at a glance that he was a traitor. Later, he killed ministers indiscriminately, raped palace maids, etc. However, he looked more like a gangster than a politician.

Later, the sky became angry and people complained, and the Ellis came to kill him (note: the official history should be the thirteen princes. I don't know why Lao Luo got crazy and added five more princes, and even fabricated the Three-Ying Daxton Lu incident). Dong thieves dodged, but the defeat was not ugly, and Cao Cao was killed in the end (Battle of Xingyang). So it's still good.

But from that time, I discovered a problem. The people under Dong Thief, except for Li Ru and Jia Xu, are basically idiots, and the four henchmen, Li Guo, Fan Zhang, are all mentally retarded. And the centripetal force is extremely weak.

Then came the Diao Chan incident. There's not much to say about the whole thing, it's a neat plot. But one sentence left a deep impression on me: Li Ru advised the traitor Dong to give Diaochan to Daxton Lu. The reason was: "Diaochan is a woman's ear. Daxton Lu is a fierce general in the world." The traitor Dong asked, "Will your wife be with Lv Bu?"

I almost burst out laughing at that time, let alone Li Ru's embarrassment.

Then he died and was lit with a sky lantern. His fat layer looked very thick.

I looked through the history books and found that Dong was very aloof when he was young, and his archery and riding skills were superb. Especially in archery, he may be better than Daxton Lu, a bit like a flying general. Later, a group of Xiliang children gathered together and gradually became a force, and finally led a very brave cavalry team. 

During the Three Kingdoms period, the cavalry was the best. Why were Ma Chao and Daxton Lu so scary? It was because of the cavalry. This cavalry team laid the foundation for Daxton Lu's future struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains. What happened next was roughly the same as in the novel. He is also a very accomplished comrade.

To be honest, Cao Cao also did it when he deposed the emperor; when he became authoritarian, Cao Cao did it even worse. In troubled times, as a political figure, it is understandable to do some very insidious things. At least he is not as hypocritical as Liu Daer. Well, what ultimately made his evaluation so low was, on the one hand, his own problems - cruelty and cruelty - but if you think about it carefully, Zhang Fei was actually very cruel, but why was he written so so good?

Public opinion always has its direction. Thief Dong may not be as bad as the legend says, but he unfortunately became a traitor and was not as successful as Cao Cao, so he became the ultimate example of a successful prince and a failed thief.
