Biography of Cao Cao 王义祥 2160Words 2018-03-16
Ever since Yuan Shao defeated Gongsun Zan and secured the territory of Jizhou, he suddenly remembered that he was the leader of the conquest of Dong Zhuo.So, he sent his confidants secretly to Situ Wangyun to find out what happened.But Wang Yun did not take any action against Dong Zhuo, on the contrary he became a popular person under Dong Zhuo's subordinates. Dong Zhuo has served as the Grand Master since the second year of Chuping, that is, in 191 AD, and his status is above all the princes and kings.Since then, Dong Zhuo's clothes have gradually appeared the emperor's special golden purple, and he often used the emperor's etiquette when riding in a car.Moreover, Dong Zhuo had no intention of going to the court every day. If the ministers had something to do, they went directly to the Grand Master's Mansion to ask him for instructions.In this way, the Grand Master's Mansion is like an imperial court.

When Dong Zhuo came out, all the ministers and ministers visited him beside his chariot and horses, but he just nodded arrogantly and did not return the courtesy. Dong Zhuo saw these prefects and governors in the Kanto region robbing each other of their territory, and thought it was nothing special, so he devoted himself to building Chang'an.He said: "If the event is successful, the world will be mine; if the event is not successful, I will retire here, and no one will come in." He regretted that he had listened to the words of Shang Shu Zhou Yu and Chengmen Xiaowei Wu Qiong before, and instead of using his own people, he used the so-called famous people in the world. As a result, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Han Fu, Liu Dai and others became the prefects and governors. .In the end, instead, he repays kindness with revenge, and wants to attack me, Dong Zhuo.He vowed not to suffer such a loss again, and to vigorously promote his own people.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo appointed his brother Dong Si as General Zuo, and his nephew Dong Huang as Lieutenant of the Chinese Army.These two men, his son-in-law Niu Fu, his godson Lu Bu, and Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, etc. were all leaders of the army and were especially valued. In addition, those in the Dong clan who could be named marquises were all named marquises, even the doll held by his aunt and wife was also named a marquis, and the little niece with pigtails was also named Weiyang Lord. Dong Zhuo regarded those who opposed him in various states and counties as incompetent.He once said: "Only Sun Jian is very stupid, you should not underestimate him." Now that Sun Jian was shot to death by random arrows, there is no need to worry about the other side of the boy, and Dong Zhuo can sleep soundly. .

Meiwu was twenty-five miles away from Chang'an, Dong Zhuo often went there, and every time he left Chang'an, he entrusted the affairs of the court to Situ Wangyun.It shows that he has great trust in Wang Yun. Every time Dong Zhuo went out or came back, the ministers had to go outside the city to see him off.Dong Zhuo often set up temporary tents outside the city according to the custom of Hu people and Qiang people, and entertained everyone with banquets.It takes half a day to blow, blow, beat, eat and drink. Once, when they were having a banquet in a tent, it happened that some captives were released from the Northland. Dong Zhuo immediately ordered them to bring them up and serve wine to the ministers.How to serve wine? Dong Zhuo ordered the prisoners to be brought up one by one, or cut off a hand, or a foot, or cut off the nose, or gouged out the eyes, or cut off the ears, or cut off the tongue, or used a cauldron It was boiled... There were screams, blood dripping, all civil and military officials trembled, or dropped their chopsticks, or dropped their spoons, but Dong Zhuo frequently raised his glass to persuade him to drink.

Another time, Dong Zhuo held another banquet and invited ministers and ministers to drink.Situ Wang Yun, Shangshu Yang Zan, Weiwei Zhang Wen, Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan, Shangshu Pu Archer Sun Rui, Shangshulang Cai Yong, Qidu Xiaowei Li Su and other important officials were present.Dong Zhuo was very dissatisfied with Weiwei Zhang Wen at this time, and regarded him as a thorn in his side.While everyone was drinking and wishing Grand Master Dong Zhuo good health, Lu Bu hurried in, came to Dong Zhuo's ear, and said such a sentence.The ministers suddenly became worried, fearing that some disaster would happen again.

At this time, Dong Zhuo laughed after hearing Lu Bu's words, "So that's what happened!" Immediately, his face sank, and he ordered Weiwei Zhang Wen to be pushed out.All civil and military officials were frightened, wondering which river burst again? After a while, the subordinates brought up another dish, which turned out to be a big red food plate with Zhang Wen's head on it. Dong Zhuo filled his glass of wine and said with a smile: "Don't be alarmed, gentlemen. Zhang Wen colluded with Yuan Shu, and some letters fell into Feng Xian's hands, so he cut them off. The rest are irrelevant. Please drink to your heart's content!"

The ministers and ministers had no choice but to oblige, but their hearts were extremely panicked. After the banquet was over, the ministers returned home in fear. Situ Wangyun returned home, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he saw the food plate with Zhang Wen's head on it.He thought, he should quickly find a solution, otherwise, all the court ministers would be killed! Situ Wangyun, Sili school captain Huang Wan, servant shooter Sun Rui, and Shangshu Yang Zan conspired to kill Dong Zhuo.In this conspiracy, the most troublesome thing for them was not Dong Zhuo himself, but Dong Zhuo's personal bodyguard, the general Lv Bu.

Lu Bu is a native of Wuyuan, Liangzhou. He is good at riding and archery, with superb martial arts and extraordinary courage.Coupled with his good looks and talent, he is quite attractive to sergeants.When Dong Zhuo and Zhijinwu Dingyuan faced each other in Luoyang back then, the key to deciding the outcome was Lv Bu, who belonged to Dingyuan's army, and turned his back. Dong Zhuo successfully killed Dingyuan, merged Dingyuan's troops, and gained control of the capital. right.Lu Bu's rebellious behavior at the critical moment must have exchanged quite good terms with Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo trusted Lu Bu even more.

After moving the capital to Chang'an, Dong Zhuo became increasingly brutal.But Dong Zhuo also had some self-knowledge, knowing that the officials of the Han Dynasty who were murdered by him would definitely find opportunities to take revenge.In order to prevent someone from being assassinated, Dong Zhuo asked Lv Bu to accompany him.The two have a close relationship and love each other like a father and son. At this time, Dong Zhuo never imagined that the mastermind to attack him would be his most important court judge, Situ Wang Yun. Wang Yun's administrative ability is extremely strong. Before and after the palace coup, he served as Situ, but was dismissed later.When Dong Zhuo was preparing to move the capital to Chang'an, due to the difficulty of the project, he appointed Wang Yunzai, who was quite familiar with the Luoyang government, as Situ to preside over the plan of moving the capital.Wang Yun also subtly flattered Dong Zhuo, and he did everything he did. His performance was very outstanding, so he won Dong Zhuo's trust.

Dong Zhuo's temperament became increasingly anxious, tense and violent, and his early bold and straightforward personality completely disappeared.He is often irritable and unable to control his emotions.Once, Dong Zhuo had a quarrel with Lv Bu over a trivial matter. Because Lv Bu was also very tough, Dong Zhuo actually picked up his halberd and threw it at Lv Bu.Fortunately, Lu Bu was quick and dodged in time.Afterwards, although Dong Zhuo appeased Lv Bu with a bounty, and Lv Bu publicly apologized, the gap between the two had already formed. Jia Lu Bu guarded the mansion day and night, and gradually had an affair with a beautiful maid of Dong Zhuo.The maid is in love with him, and he is also attached to the maid, and they often meet each other before the flowers and under the moon.However, both the maid and Lu Bu were deeply afraid that Dong Zhuo would find out. If the unpredictable Dong Zhuo knew about this, what would happen? Therefore, Lu Bu was on guard at all times, and a kind of hostility towards Dong Zhuo gradually arose and became stronger and stronger. .Lü Bu was so worried that he once had a conflict with Dong Zhuo in his dream. At that time, he and his maid were like mandarin ducks, but Dong Zhuo found out, and Dong Zhuo stabbed him with the halberd. In order to protect the maid, he He actually fought Dong Zhuo to the death... Although he woke up during the fight and knew it was just a dream, but the fierce appearance of Dong Zhuo when he fought with him was deeply imprinted in his heart, and a kind of disgust and hatred suddenly arose...
