Chapter 50 Chapter 7 Incorporating Qingzhou Army to Compete for Yanzhou Land (2)

Wang Yun and Lu Bu had a very good personal relationship, and the two of them had reached the point of knowing each other without saying anything, so Lu Bu once expressed the hatred in his heart to Wang Yun.Wang Yun frowned after hearing this, and sighed: "Grand Master Dong's personality has become more and more violent recently, and like summer weather, it is unpredictable. I don't know what will happen again. Now, he should kill what should be killed, except for what should be eliminated. He will definitely not let go of anything that is not pleasing to his eyes. Therefore, your current state is very dangerous!"

Lu Bu asked for advice: "Situ pointed out, what should I do?" Wang Yun pondered for a long time, and finally hesitated: "But don't blame me when I say it..." Lu Bu said: "You and I are as close as brothers, we love brothers and sisters, we have already talked about everything, so why worry about me?" Wang Yun looked around, and then said: "Forgive me, unless you break the relationship with that maid, you will be punished by Dong Zhuo. In fact, even breaking the relationship is not safe, because the maid is alive , how do you know that there will be no clues after a long time? And you will never kill the maid, let alone how to explain to Dong Zhuo after killing the maid, how can Dong Zhuo not check the truth. This is called left and right. It’s also difficult, in fact, it’s all difficult, and the root of it all lies in Dong Zhuo. As long as Dong Zhuo is gone, everything will be easily solved, and you and that maid will eventually become a pair of relatives as lovers!”

Lu Bu said, "You mean to get rid of him?" Wang Yun said: "Of course this is the only way. Besides, is there any better way?" Lu Bu hit the table with his clenched fist, and said angrily, "Dong Zhuo is too aggressive, so don't blame me for being ruthless. I will definitely kill this old thief!" Wang Yun hurriedly stopped him and said: "This matter is of great importance and must be discussed in detail. We must not act presumptuously. Let's discuss a proper solution." At this point, Wang Yuncai and Pan Duan came up with a plan for him to conspire with Sili Xiaowei Huang Wan, servant Sun Rui, Shangshu Yang Zan and others, and asked Lu Bu to participate as an internal response.Of course Lu Bu agreed with all of them, so he agreed on a time and followed the plan.

Besides, Dong Zhuo, who lived in anxiety, stayed in Chang'an for at most ten days and a half months, and more often in Meiwu, under the protection of layers of armor and armor, no one could do anything about him.Wang Yun and others decided to deal with Dong Zhuo by leading the snake out of the hole when they had no chance to take advantage of it.Knowing that Dong Zhuo had long wanted to usurp the throne, Wang Yun secretly negotiated with Emperor Han Xian and asked Emperor Han Xian to pretend to be sick and hide in bed, and then spread the word that Emperor Han Xian was in poor health and had no intention of taking care of the government and intended to retire early , plans to meet all civil and military officials in Weiyang Palace and announce important decrees.In fact, Dong Zhuo's confidants in the harem had already confirmed to Dong Zhuo that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had indeed fallen ill and intended to back down, so Dong Zhuo was convinced of this and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

On Ding Jiri in April of the third year of Chuping, the weather was sunny and hot. Dong Zhuo received an order from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, judging that Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty was about to abdicate to himself, so he drove into the court in a specially dressed car.From Meiwu to the imperial palace, the guards were heavily guarded, just like the emperor's troops, with infantry and cavalry defending left and right. Lü Bu led his troops to patrol the front and back, and the security was almost impeccable. It was impossible for anyone to take advantage of it. In fact, before Dong Zhuo's team set off, Wang Yunzao ordered the servant Sun Rui to write the emperor's edict and hand it over to Lv Bu, and Lv Bu ordered Li Su, the captain of cavalry, to lead the death squads Qin Yi and Chen Wei to put on guard clothes and hide in the palace. Inside the door, prepare for a surprise assassination operation.

Dong Zhuo triumphantly rode into the gate of the palace, psychologically unaware of this.Li Su waited for him to get close, and immediately ran out, stabbing him with a long halberd.Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo had long been in the habit of wearing armor inside his official uniform, so the halberd did not penetrate, only hurting his arm. Dong Zhuo was startled, fell under the cart, and shouted, "Where is Lu Bu?" Lu Bu rushed forward and shouted loudly: "By the emperor's decree, kill the rebels!" Dong Zhuowan didn't expect Lu Bu to be like this, he was very angry, and cursed: "I treat you like a son, yet you actually rebelled, if you are so disobedient, you will be punished..."

However, before he finished speaking, Lv Bu's iron spear pierced Dong Zhuo's throat. The Death Squad rushed forward and beheaded Dong Zhuo. The news of Dong Zhuo's murder spread, and there were cheers inside and outside the palace.In Chang'an City, it was like a festival, with lanterns and festoons in the streets and alleys, and bursts of singing.On the other hand, Lv Bu and others took advantage of the victory to pursue and executed Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Si and Dong's relatives and cronies. Wang Yun even ordered the pursuit of Dong Zhuo's remaining party, and the various legions in the Sili District immediately became very tense.

The defection of Lv Bu's army and the overthrow of Dong Zhuo's regime made the civil and military officials and sergeants in the Sili military region and Chang'an city, even the people who were forced to move from Luoyang, and the original residents of Chang'an cheered and shook.Dong Zhuo's obese body was exposed to the public on the street. The soldiers guarding the corpse even cut Dong Zhuo's belly button open, inserted a cotton wick, and used his belly fat as oil to light the lamp, doing everything possible to insult him. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty went to Dong Zhuo's coercion and suppression, and he was also very proud.He immediately rewarded him for his meritorious service, appointed Wang Yun as Lu Shang Shushi, appointed Lu Bu as General Fenwei, and named him Marquis Wen.The servant Sun Rui said that he had no merit and resigned all the rewards.Wang Yun and Lu Bu jointly managed the government, and assisted Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty with one article and one military.They tracked down Dong Zhuo's party members, some were executed, and some were exiled to the army.

Zuo Zhonglang general Cai Yong had been saved by Dong Zhuo after all, and Dong Zhuo had always been kind to him. Out of such gratitude, he went to the place where Dong Zhuo's dead body was killed to mourn Dong Zhuo.Wang Yun knew this and scolded Cai Yong: "Dong Zhuo is a traitor. If you don't execute him, the Han Dynasty will perish. Putting him to death now is a matter of great joy. As a minister of the court and a famous person in the country, you should deeply appreciate it." Ming Dayi is right. Instead, you go against the public opinion and go to mourn his thieves. Are you really Dong Zhuo's best friend?"

Of course Cai Yong understood the principles of righteousness, and said to Wang Yun: "Although I am not talented, I also know the principles of Dali. Dong Zhuo is domineering and disrupts the government, and he deserves to be punished. If you think I'm guilty because of this, I don't try to shirk, I just ask for a lenient punishment and forgive me once." Wang Yun handed Cai Yong over to Ting Wei.Ma Richan, the Taiwei, knew that Cai Yong's departure would be more or less auspicious, so he interceded with Wang Yun on Cai Yong's behalf. He said: "Cai Yong must not die, he is very learned, and he is writing the history of the Han Dynasty."

Wang Yun shook his head and said: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not kill Sima Qian and let him write a book, but he used the topic to play and slander the court. Now that the emperor is young, if someone with a different mind like Cai Yong is allowed to continue playing with his pen, I am afraid we will all be punished by him." insulted……" Ma Richan could only sigh, and Cai Yong was forced to death in prison.
