Chapter 89 88 Wang Yunji Excludes Dong Zhuo

Dong Zhuo saw that the governors and prefects who opposed him had their own plans, and there was nothing to be afraid of, so he called himself a grand master in Chang'an, and asked Emperor Xian of Han to call him "Father Shang".He also made his younger brother and nephew generals and lieutenants, and even his newborn baby was named marquis. In order to have fun, he built a castle called Meiwu more than two hundred miles away from Chang'an.He built the city wall high and thick, and stored there the gold, silver, treasures and food he looted from the people. The food alone was enough to feed him for thirty years.

After the construction of Meiwu, Dong Zhuo proudly said to others: "The big thing is done, and the world is mine; even if it doesn't work, I will spend my old age here in peace and stability, and no one can get in." When Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang, he killed a group of officials; after arriving in Chang'an, he became even more domineering.If civil and military officials accidentally spoke and offended him, they lost their heads.Some ministers were afraid that they would lose their lives, so they secretly wanted to get rid of the villain. Dong Zhuo has a confidant named Lu Bu, who is a famous warrior.Lu Bu's strength is particularly great, and his martial arts in archery and horseback riding are very strong.He was originally a subordinate of Ding Yuan, governor of Bingzhou.When Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, Ding Yuan was leading troops to garrison Luoyang.Dong Zhuo sent people to use a large amount of property to win over Lv Bu and asked Lv Bu to kill Ding Yuan.Lu Bu was bought by Dong Zhuo, betrayed Ding Yuan, and joined Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo adopted Lv Bu as his godson and asked Lv Bu to protect him with him.Wherever he went, Lu Bu followed him.People were afraid of Lu Bu's bravery, so it was difficult to attack Dong Zhuo. Situ Wangyun was determined to get rid of Dong Zhuo.He knew that in order to get rid of Dong Zhuo, he had to win over Lu Bu who was beside him first.He often invites Lu Bu to his home to drink and chat together.After a long time, Lu Bu felt that Wang Yun treated him well, so he talked about his relationship with Dong Zhuo. It turned out that although Lv Bu and Dong Zhuo were father and son, Dong Zhuo had a violent personality and would get angry at Lv Bu if he didn't like him.Once, when Lu Bu contradicted him, Dong Zhuo actually threw the halberd beside him.Fortunately, Lu Bu had quick eyes and quick hands, turned his body to one side, and avoided the flying halberd without being stabbed.

Later, Lu Bu apologized to Dong Zhuo, and Dong Zhuo also expressed his forgiveness.However, Lu Bu was very unhappy.He told Wang Yun about it.Wang Yun was very happy to hear that, so he told Lv Bu about his plan to kill Dong Zhuo, and said, "Dong Zhuo is a national traitor. We want to eliminate harm for the people. Can you help us and be an internal response?" When Lu Bu heard that Dong Zhuo was really going to be killed, he hesitated a little and said, "I am his godson, how can a son kill his father?" Wang Yun shook his head and said: "Oh, the general is so confused. Your surname is Lu, and his surname is Dong. They are not close relatives. Besides, when he threw the halberd at you, did he still have any father-son feelings?"

After hearing this, Lu Bu felt that what Wang Yun said made sense, so he agreed to work with Wang Yun. In 192 AD, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty had just recovered from an illness and met with ministers in Weiyang Palace.Dong Zhuo went from Meiwu to Chang'an.In order to guard against other people's conspiracy, he put on iron armor under his court clothes.On both sides of the main road to enter the palace by car, guards were sent densely lined up to form a narrow lane.He also asked Lu Bu to defend behind him with a spear.After this arrangement, he thought it was safe. How did he know that Wang Yun and Lu Bu had already discussed it.Lu Bu invited a few confidant warriors to pretend to be guards to mix in the team, specially guarding at the gate of the palace.As soon as Dong Zhuo's car entered the palace gate, someone picked up a halberd and stabbed Dong Zhuo in the chest.But the halberd pierced the iron armor on Dong Zhuo's chest and couldn't penetrate it.

Dong Zhuo blocked it with his arm, but was stabbed in the arm by the halberd.Enduring the pain, he jumped out of the car and yelled, "Where is Lu Bu?" Lu Bu got out from the back of the car and announced loudly, "I follow the emperor's decree to attack the traitorous official Dong Zhuo!" Seeing that his godson had betrayed him, Dong Zhuo scolded him, "You son of a bitch, how dare you..." Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu raised his spear and pierced Dong Zhuo's throat.The soldiers rushed up and chopped off Dong Zhuo's head.Lu Bu took out the edict from his arms and announced to everyone: "The emperor has ordered that only Dong Zhuo be killed, and no one else will be held accountable."

When Dong Zhuo's soldiers heard this, they all happily shouted long live. The people in Chang'an suffered Dong Zhuo's cruel oppression, and when they heard the traitors, they ran to the street in groups singing and dancing. Many people also sold their clothes and jewelry at home, and exchanged wine and meat to take home a big meal and celebrate. Dong Zhuo, who was full of evil, was wiped out, but the disaster of the people was not over.Not long after, Dong Zhuo's subordinates Li Que (sound jue) and Guo Si entered Chang'an, killed Wang Yun, and drove Lv Bu away. The people of Chang'an were burned, killed and looted again.
