The eighteenth princes who crusaded against Dong Zhuo, but the Han clan relatives were silent and absent, revealing the power and contradictions of the clan surnamed Liu.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo's atrocities triggered a joint crusade by the princes of the Eighteen Routes, however, it is puzzling that only Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was from the imperial family among the Han clansmen, while the other Liu clansmen chose to remain silent. This article will briefly dissect this historical mystery.
Crusade against Dong Zhuo: "Eighteen Road Princes".
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the imperial power declined, and Dong Zhuo's atrocities led to a joint uprising of the princes of the Eighteenth Road. However, among the Han clan relatives, only Liu Yan and Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, held military power. Liu Yan's descendants were in Luoyang City, and Liu Yu's son Liu He was the servant of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. However, why did the other Liu clansmen choose to remain silent and absent?
Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Biao, known as the "seven counties and 117 counties of Jingzhou", but in 190 AD, he rode into Jingzhou alone. Dong Zhuo checked Liu Biao and detained his eldest son Liu Qi, so that the Jingzhou clan had to reluctantly obey. At this time, Liu Biao had to maintain the stability of Jingzhou, and it was extremely difficult to resist Dong Zhuo.
The dispute between the clan surnamed Liu and the princes.
There were many contradictions between the clan surnamed Liu and the other princes. Liu Yan had a deep grudge with the Yuan family, and Liu Yu's descendants had political conflicts with other princes. This internal strife became one of the reasons why the Han clan chose to remain silent.
Gongsun Chan's contradictions.
In the coalition army, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, was forced to join, while his subordinate Chen Liutaishou Zhang Miao became the one who persecuted him. Zhang Miao colluded with Cao Cao and even wanted to kill Liu Dai, which made Liu Dai, as the only Han clan member to join the alliance of princes, need to be on guard against possible betrayal of his allies at all times.
Liu Biao's dilemma.
When Liu Biao was in control of Jingzhou's strong forces, he faced a double threat from Dong Zhuo and Sun Jian. Sun Jian's army relied on Liu Biao's support, while Dong Zhuo hoped to stabilize Jingzhou by controlling Liu Biao. This put Liu Biao in a predicament and couldn't get out easily.
Summary: The silence of the Han clansmen.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, the power of the clan was weak, and the princes were intrigued. In order to avoid angering Dong Zhuo, the Han clan chose to remain silent, unwilling to expose their identities in internal strife and external pressure. The Han clan relatives were well aware of the crisis of the current situation and chose to remain silent in order to respond to all changes, which became their wisest choice at that time.
In this war for the survival of the Han family, the choice of the Han clan may be puzzling, but it is a wise response to survival. They may not have played a prominent role in the coalition, but their silence was a wise strategy to protect the living space of the Han clan.

Commentary: The Strategic Choices and Historical Dilemmas of the Late Han Dynasty.
This article profoundly analyzes the strategic choices of the Han clan in the late Han Dynasty during the Dong Zhuo Rebellion. The author uses sharp strokes to outline the complexity of the political situation at that time, as well as the historical dilemma faced by the Han clan. The following will comment on the article from several aspects.
First of all, the article gives a rather vivid picture of the political situation in the late Han Dynasty. Dong Zhuo's rebellion led to the joint uprising of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, and this historical event was narrated in the article. Through in-depth analysis of key figures such as Emperor Liu Hong, Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zan of the Han Dynasty, the author enables readers to better understand the political intrigues and internal and external disputes at that time. This laid a solid foundation for the selection of the Han clan in the later article.
Secondly, the article makes a reasonable speculation about the reasons for the silence of the Han clan. Through the analysis of the political contradictions of Liu Yan, Liu Yu and other Liu clans, and the situation of Liu Dai, who was forced to join the coalition army, the article points out that the complex disputes within the Han clan became one of the reasons why they chose to remain silent. This state of internal and external distress made it difficult for the Han clan to intervene wisely on the historical stage at that time.
Furthermore, the article provides an in-depth analysis of the intrigues and disputes between the princes. Plots such as Liu Yan's grudge with the Yuan family, Gongsun Zhan's gradual escape from Liu Yu's moderation, and the contradiction between Liu Dai and Zhang Miao reveal the intrigue between the princes at that time. This made the internal contradictions of the coalition forces intensify when they fought against Dong Zhuo, weakening their overall strength, and also providing more reasons for the Han clan to choose to remain silent.
Finally, the article neatly concludes that the silence of the Han clan is a wise choice. At this moment of crisis, the strategy of the Han clan was cautious and wise, they avoided angering Dong Zhuo and protected their own living space. Such comments give readers deep reflection on the choices of historical figures, so that history is no longer just a record of a series of events, but also a deduction of human nature, power and wisdom.
On the whole, this review provides an in-depth analysis of the article, highlighting the silence and strategy of the late Han clan in the political situation, and providing readers with a richer historical understanding.
