The princes of the Eighteenth Route jointly crusaded against Dong Zhuo, and the reason why they returned in vain was because Dong Zhuo occupied the Guanzhong, and there was a natural danger that Tongguan was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the princes of the Eighteenth Route had their own ghosts, which can be said to be a group of rabble.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, the Han Dynasty was weak, Dong Zhuo was called by the general He Jin and Yuan Shao, the captain of the Sili School, and led the army into Beijing to crusade against the Ten Standing Servants. Then the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty fell into chaos, Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty was forced out of the palace, was rescued by Dong Zhuo, and was finally deposed as the king of Hongnong, Dong Zhuo supported Liu Xie as the emperor of Han Xian, and controlled the government
First, Dong Zhuo's army is not weak in combat
Dong Zhuo grew up in Liangzhou, where the people are fierce, and Dong Zhuo is fierce and strategic, and has made many military exploits, so Dong Zhuo himself is born in the army and has good military command skills, and the generals under Dong Zhuo are also veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and they also have a fierce general like Lu Bu, who has strong combat effectiveness.
Second, Dong Zhuo relied on natural danger to defend
Dong Zhuo did not fight hard after the crusade of the princes of the Eighteenth Road, but chose to retreat to Chang'an, Chang'an belongs to the Guanzhong region, which has been easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, as long as people are sent to guard the pass, no matter how many troops can not enter. Therefore, it is difficult for the princes of the Eighteenth Route to enter the customs.
3. The princes of the Eighteen Roads each have a ghost
Although the princes of the Eighteen Roads are all crusading against Dong Zhuo, everyone has their own thoughts, and even after the victory, they can't reach a consensus on who to proclaim as the emperor, which can be seen that it is a group of rabble, and although Yuan Shao is the leader of the alliance, he lacks control over these princes, and in the end the princes of the Eighteen Roads return in vain.
