First, resign from the Julu separatist regime. Dou Rong in Hexi is not so lonely and ambitious. Wang was asked when he was photographed. Sima, the general of crossbow in Qiang Ren, took part in the battle against Zhai Yi and Ping's arms, and was named swordsman for his outstanding exploits. In the last years of follwed, Qing Xu's Ice Cream, a captain of follwed, Wang Kuang asked Dou Rong to send troops to the East as an auxiliary army. Han soldiers arise, Dou Rong was defeated by Wang Yijun in Kunyang and retreated to Chang 'an. Han soldiers marched into the customs. On the recommendation of Wang Yi, Dou Rong was appointed General Shui Bo to lead his troops to Xinfeng. Follwed failed, Dou Rong surrendered to Zhao Meng with a great army, and the great Sima turned over a new leaf and became a captain. Zhao Meng attaches great importance to him and recommends him as the giant deer satrap.
Dou Rong saw that the new emperor had been established, while the East was still in chaos. In addition, the Dou family lived in Hexi for generations and knew the local customs, so they didn't want to go through the customs. Dou Rong went to see Zhao Meng and said that he didn't want to stay in Julu County, but he wanted to keep Hexi. Zhao Meng became the Emperor of Ming Dynasty for him, so the court appointed Dou Rong as the vassal of Zhang Ye. Dou Rong was overjoyed and immediately led his family to the west. After he took office, he appeased the people, made friends with Hao Jun, and was kind to the Qiang people. So the government and the people embraced it and Hexi returned to the heart.
After the renewed political failure, Dou Rong was elected as a general by the county governors in Hexi, presiding over the overall situation in Hexi. Since then, Dou Rong has been divided. The folk customs in Hexi area are simple, while Dou Rong and others are more relaxed politically, so they go up and down on blind dates and get rich. At ordinary times, soldiers and civilians practice riding, shooting and vigilance together. When foreign troops invaded, Dou Rong led his troops and soldiers from various counties to rescue and appease. Later, the Huns and Qiang people were shocked and attached to each other. More and more people fled here from Anding, the northern monk army to escape from famine and fire.
Second, sincerely return to the Korean brothers. Later, Dou Rong heard that Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu acceded to the throne and wanted to join the East, but the journey in Hexi was too dangerous to be self-sufficient. As it happens, Xiao Wei first joined the Han Dynasty, while Dou Rong followed Xiao Wei, the founder of the Han Dynasty.
On the surface, Xiao Wei obeyed the wishes of officers and men and joined the Han Dynasty, but he had different aspirations. He sent debater Zhang Xuan to Hexi to lobby and persuade Dou Rong not to return to the Han Dynasty for independence. Dou Rong called the hero and the local governor to discuss the matter. Wise people say that Liu Xiu's fate is unparalleled. After careful consideration, Dou Rong decided to crusade for Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, and in the summer of Jianwu five years, he sent Liu Jun with a long history to offer horses to Liu Xiutong. It happened that Liu Xiu also sent messengers to deliver letters to Dou Rong. The messengers met Liu Jun on the road, so they returned to Luoyang together. Liu Xiu took Liu Jun, gave him a warm reception, and then ordered him to return to Hexi with his letter from Xiyin. In the letter, he frankly analyzed the situation, advised Dou Rong to make up his mind and make a decision early, and appointed him as a priest in Liangzhou. Dou Rong also sent Liu Jun to write to Emperor Guangwu, indicating that he was determined to attach himself to the Han Dynasty, and did not hesitate to wait and see.
At this time, Xiao Wei, a separatist regime in Gansu, rebelled, and Dou Rong wrote to Xiao Wei, blaming him for rebelling and persuading him to change the situation and go astray. Xiao Wei didn't listen to Dou Rong. Dou Rong and the prefect of the Five Counties, with a complete horse, went to Liu Xiu, asked for the date, and prepared to send troops to attack Xiao Wei and serve the Han Dynasty. Dou Rong's loyalty left a deep impression on Liu Xiu.
In the summer of the eighth year of Jianwu, Liu Xiu personally went west. Dou Rong, hearing the news, led tens of thousands of people to ride more than 5,000, and joined forces in Gaoping First City. Before meeting with Emperor Guangwu, Dou Rong sent his men to discuss the meeting etiquette. At that time, despite my hectic appearance, I was in a state of war, with criss-crossing generals and simple manners. Liu Xiu was very happy to learn that Dou Rong asked about etiquette first, so he announced the Liao Bai, held a banquet, and received Dou Rong and others with special courtesy. Dou Rong's younger brother Dou You was appointed as the commander of CRRC, and his cousin Dou Shi was appointed as the doctor of Taizhong. Then, Emperor Guangwu marched with Dou Rong, Xiao Wei was defeated, and all the cities surrendered to the Han Dynasty.
Dou Rong has made outstanding contributions, and Liu Xiu named him Hou An Feng and Dou You as a relative. Dou Rong's subordinate Zhu Zeng and other five people were also blocked. Because the two brothers were both named Hou, and they were abroad for a long time and had exclusive rights, he was often on the alert and wrote to the court many times to ask for someone to take his place. Guangwudi wrote back: You and I are like right-hand men. Why don't you understand what I mean and make humble concessions many times? Please feel at ease, work hard to govern the local area, protect the environment and people, and don't leave the Ministry without authorization.
3. After the retreat of Gansu and the pacification of Shu, the imperial court issued a decree to lead the prefect of five counties to Luoyang to play Chen's affairs together. Dou Rong and others were ordered to March eastward, accompanied by officials and guests, driving thousands of cars and cattle and sheep everywhere. First to Luoyang at the gates, presented Liangzhou animal husbandry, the duke, An Feng, Hou Yin. Liu Xiu sent an emissary to return the seal of the Marquis, immediately received it, and let him live in the waiting room; A few months later, he was appointed as Jizhou animal husbandry; Ten days later, he was promoted to general. Rich reward, no human feelings, moving the capital.
Dou Rong was treated well as soon as he entered the court because he was not an old minister of Guangwudi. He is above the hero, so he is humble every time he goes to see him. Seeing that he can go in and out, Emperor Guangwu became more and more affectionate to him.
Dou Rong has always been very cautious. Now I have been in a high position for a long time, and my heart is not practical. I have resigned my title many times. He first conveyed it through his attendants, and then he told himself that he was old, his son didn't live up to expectations, and he didn't want to be a vassal any more, and he didn't want to pass on the marquis to his son. Before long, he asked to see the emperor again. Liu Xiu guessed his mind and didn't call him. One day, after the meeting, the ministers retired and Dou Rong wandered around. Knowing that he was going to resign again, Liu Xiu ordered his men to ask him to go out and have a rest. Later, the emperor summoned him to discuss the matter and said to him in advance: Last time I knew you were going to resign and go back to your hometown, I said it was too hot and told you to resign and help yourself. This meeting, only talk about other things, don't talk about resignation.
Since then, Dou Rong dare not resign.
In the 20th year of Jianwu, Dasitu Daishe was put into prison and died because the recommended person broke the law. At that time, Sangong joined in, and Guangwudi had no choice but to remove Dou Rong from the post of general. The following year, Dou Rong made special progress. In the 23rd year of Jianwu, Dou Rong did Wei Wei's work on behalf of Yin Hang, making great progress as before. Dou You was a captain at the city gate, and both brothers were in charge of guarding.
Soon, Dou Rong proposed to retire and return to his hometown. Guangwudi refused, and often sent people to reward gold, silver, silk and jewelry. After Dou You's death, the emperor thought that Dou Rong was old and weak, so he sent people who were always waiting and praising him to his bedroom to persuade him to pay attention to his health.
At the beginning of Ming Di's reign, there were three fairies, two Marquis, three princesses and four officials with a rank of two thousand stones. In the capital, there are clouds between grandparents and grandchildren. At that time, consorts and heroes were unparalleled. In Yongping for two years, my nephew, a captain Qiang, was killed. Ming Di wrote a letter accusing Dou Rong and quoted Dou Ying and Tian Yan of the Western Han Dynasty as a warning. Dou Rong was so scared that he wrote to ask to leave. Ming Di ordered him to go home for illness. In the second year, Dou Rong handed over the national seal of Wei.
Dou Rong has been in Solvay for more than ten years. He is very old. His descendants indulged in fake births and committed many illegal acts. The eldest son, Dou Mu, made friends with frivolous people, entrusted them with counties, and even pretended to be the imperial edict of the Queen Mother, losing the government. Ming Chengzu was furious, relieved of all official positions such as Dou Mu, and ordered his family to return to his hometown, leaving only Dou Rong in the capital. Soon, Dou Rong died at the age of 78. Daidaihou
