Dong Zhuo is a force from Xiliang, so what is his relationship with Ma Teng, the governor of Xiliang at that time?

To talk about the relationship between Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng, we have to start when Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong was still on the throne.

The Han Dynasty divided the country into thirteen states, one of which was called Liangzhou, which governed the current Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai and other regions. ?

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the people of Liangzhou were located on the border between Han and Qiang, so fights were commonplace. Coupled with the harsh natural conditions, the people were fierce and unafraid of death, and there were many soldiers.

The Liangzhou cavalry at that time was very powerful and was known in history as "the great horses of Liangzhou, running rampant in the world".

In November of the first year of Emperor Zhongping of the Han Dynasty, a rebellion led by Beigong Boyu broke out in Liangzhou. Ma Teng's good friend Han Sui also joined the rebels.

Several Liangzhou governors were idiots. They were defeated by the rebels and were dismissed one after another.

In the fourth year of Zhongping, Emperor Ling sent Geng Bi to take over as the governor of Liangzhou. After Geng Bi took office, he went around recruiting troops and buying polo to fight against the rebels. It was at this time that Ma Teng defected to the army and became a member of the Xiliang Cavalry.

Because Ma Teng fought bravely and made many military exploits, he was gradually promoted to the position of Sima, which can be regarded as entering the ranks of middle-level leaders of Liangzhou forces.

It can be said that Geng Bi was lucky. At this time, the Liangzhou rebels had internal strife. Han Sui killed Beigong Boyu and became the leader of the rebels, leading more than 100,000 rebels to invade Longxi.

The government army was severely defeated and Geng Bi was killed. At this time, Ma Teng saw that the rebels were strong and surrendered to Han Sui. From then on, they became friends with Han Sui for the rest of their lives.

After Han Sui obtained Ma Teng, he became even more powerful. He successively defeated the left general Huangfu Song and other generals who came to crusade from the imperial court, and his power became stronger and stronger.

Ma Teng also relied on his own strength to gradually grow into one of the rebel leaders. ?

As the power grows and the interests increase, conflicts arise within the rebels.

The rebel leaders Yan Zhong, Han Sui, and Ma Teng distrusted each other, and later developed into cannibalism. Sometimes they colluded together for benefit. In short, it was a state of "love and kill each other".

Dong Zhuo turned out to be the underworld boss in Liangzhou. He was brave and powerful and had a large number of subordinates.

If it were placed today, it would definitely be the evil force that must be eradicated first.

In the words of the time, Dong Zhuo was a "knight-errant". Whether he was a white man or a gangster, Dong Zhuo could do anything.

Having been a black boss for a long time, he also wants to enjoy being an official.

So on the recommendation of local officials, Dong Zhuo changed his identity and became a government civil servant.

Because of his skill in fighting and his great reputation, he easily suppressed the rebellions of ethnic minorities near Liangzhou.

Even when facing Han Sui's rebels, there was victory or defeat for each other. ?
