Controlling the World Starts from Retreating Behind the Scenes

In August of the sixth year of Hanzhong's reign, Luoyang. Dong Zhuo helped the emperor drive his chariot and led the troops into the city. The officials and the people bowed and worshiped along the way. Behind Dong Zhuo, there were three thousand cavalry and a stream of red sweat-blooded horses, wearing heavy armor, with their horses high and majestic. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were horrified by such a neat military appearance. At this time, some people whispered: "I heard that Dong Zhuo has 30,000 cavalry. These are just the vanguard." "No way. Thirty thousand cavalry, all wearing heavy armor, I'm afraid the princes of Shandong combined can't compare." For ten consecutive days, three thousand Xiliang cavalry entered Luoyang every day, and the princes' troops who occupied the capital retreated without a fight.
