Chapter 53 2. Finally killed Dong Zhuo

Seeing Dong Zhuo evading assassination time and time again, there is one person who is very anxious, and he is Wang Yun. Wang Yun was fifty-five years old at this time. As a politician, he was a mature age. As the planner and implementer of the assassination, he might be a little bit powerless.Especially He, who was cited as his comrade, was killed, imprisoned, and escaped. Wang Yun felt that it was almost impossible to challenge Dong Zhuo again. Is it possible to let this villain continue to live freely and continue to endanger the country?Wang Yun's heart was full of hatred, and his mood was hard to calm down.Looking around, the only ones who can help are Yang Biao, Xun Shuang, Huang Wan and others, but they are generally older. Although Huang Wan and Yang Biao are a few years younger than themselves, they are also over fifty years old. I am still old.It's okay to engage in politics, but I have no experience in assassination.The only person who can barely help him is the scholar Sun Duan who works at Shangshutai.

In fact, there was another person in the ranks of scholars who had won Dong Zhuo's trust at this time, and could often go to the Grand Master's Mansion to meet Dong Zhuo, and this person was Cai Yong.But as soon as he was mentioned, Wang Yun became furious.This Cai Yong was once a well-known university student and a member of the scholarly community. Since he came to Dong Zhuo's side, he immediately changed into a different person, and he tried his best to please and flatter him.It was Cai Yong who initiated Dong Zhuo's appointment as Grand Master. Wang Yun's prejudice against Cai Yong can be traced back to when the two worked together in Hu Guang's mansion many years ago.Wang Yun used to be Hu Guang's chief aide, and Cai Yong was Hu Guang's proud disciple. The two worked together and knew each other well, but their relationship was very ordinary, which was related to their personalities.Wang Yun is so excited, Cai Yong is so calm; Wang Yunlu roars when he sees the injustice, Cai Yong only promises to be wise and protect himself.Wang Yun couldn't understand Cai Yong a little bit.

Now, although both Wang Yun and Cai Yong are deeply trusted by Dong Zhuo, in Wang Yun's view, there is an essential difference.I am trying my best to wait for the opportunity to eliminate Dong Zhuo, while Cai Yong is a solid scholar scum and has been completely reduced to Dong Zhuo's lackey.Therefore, not only can't discuss with Cai Yong about plotting Dong Zhuo, but also beware of him. Just when Wang Yunming was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, a person came into his sight, his fellow countryman Li Su. Li Su is also from Bingzhou.Now, there are still many Bingzhou people like them in Chang'an. Back then, Ding Yuan had a large number of people, and under the leadership of Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, they all surrendered to Dong Zhuo and came to Chang'an together.

But after they came, they felt very disappointed. Compared with the Liangzhou Army, the Bingzhou Army was not taken seriously.Taking Li Su as an example, he not only made great contributions to the defection of the Bingzhou Army, but also assisted the Liangzhou Army in fighting against the Kwantung Allied Forces, and made great achievements in the battle against Sun Jian.However, his promotion was very slow, and he managed to become a major commander (Ciduwei). Compared with others, it is far behind. Li Su is like this, and Lu Bu, the leader of the Bingzhou Army, is not much better. He has made more contributions to Dong Zhuo, and his position is only half a rank higher than Li Su. He is a Brigadier General (Zhonglang General).One can imagine the situation of other people in the Bingzhou Army.

Because of the fellowship, Li Su and Wang Yun had a certain relationship, and their dissatisfaction and complaints often appeared in their conversations.An idea flashed in Wang Yun's mind: Could this be an opportunity? Wang Yun stepped up contact with Li Su without showing any signs of expression, and through Li Su, he contacted Lu Bu again. We are all fellow villagers, and we should have a meeting with fellow villagers, eat together, go on outings, and it will not be too much to arouse everyone's attention. Notice.After going back and forth, the more they talk, the more speculative they are, and the more they talk, the more they can talk.

The central topic of their discussion was: Dong Zhuo is too mean, I am so sorry to the brothers in Bingzhou, everyone risked their lives and left their homes to follow Dong Zhuo to Chang'an, with the reputation of being ungrateful and traitorous, and risking their lives for Dong Zhuo's career , Working hard, but in the end what you get is so unfair. To be honest, Wang Yun didn't think much of Lu Bu's behavior. Just because he was a traitor and begged for glory, Wang Yun could despise him for the rest of his life.But now, in order to oppose Dong Daye, Wang Yun also got close to Lu Bu, echoing, embellishing, and sometimes making up gossip that was not conducive to the unity of Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, making Lu Bu hate him more and more. A wrong move.

But at this time, two incidents happened between Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu, which accelerated the pace of Lu Bu's rebellion against Dong. The records of Chen Shou and Fan Ye are the same for these two incidents. One is: Dong Zhuo is impatient and reckless when he becomes impulsive.Once, because of a trivial matter, he was dissatisfied with Lu Bu, so he pulled out his halberd (a short weapon for self-defense) and threw it at Lu Bu. Fortunately, Lu Bu was good at avoiding it, otherwise he would have died.Afterwards, Lv Bu took the initiative to admit his mistake, and Dong Zhuo's anger dissipated. For Dong Zhuo, this matter may be over. As for Lv Bu, he added a lot of new dissatisfaction (because he complained against Zhuo) with lingering fear.

The other thing is: Lv Bu can often go in and out of Dong Zhuo's inner room (middle), and has an affair with a maidservant. Lv Bu is afraid that Dong Zhuo will eventually find out about this matter, and he is always worried. This is the full record of these two events in the official history, and there are no more details.As for merging these two incidents into one and specifying the location of the incident (such as Fengyi Pavilion) and the name of the person involved (such as Diao Chan), it is pure fiction.There are many textual research articles on this aspect, so I won't repeat them here.

Anyway, when several factors were combined, Wang Yun actually instigated Lu Bu to rebel and promised to get rid of Dong Zhuo! After Dong Zhuo withdrew to Chang'an, veteran Zhu Jun was appointed Henan Yin and stayed in Luoyang.Zhu Jun immediately raised the anti-Dong banner, echoing the Kwantung Allied Forces. Tao Qian praised Zhu Jun as a general of chariots and cavalry, and also reinforced Zhu Jun with 3,000 troops. It is understandable for Tao Qian to support Zhu Jun, but he shouldn't be looking for trouble. Knowing that the general of the chariot and cavalry already has a master, that is, Yuan Shao, the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, he still wants to play Zhu Jun. Isn't this embarrassing Yuan Shao?Yuan Shao wrote down this account for him first, and there will be times when he will turn his face in the future.

In order to fight against Zhu Jun, Dong Zhuo sent Niu Fu to station in Shan County, and sent Li, Guo Si and others with tens of thousands of main forces to attack Zhu Jun.Zhu Jun was not strong enough and was defeated. The main force of the Liangzhou army moved east at this time, creating an opportunity for Wang Yun and Lu Bu to eliminate Dong Zhuo. According to Wang Can's "Heroes", the day when Lu Bu assassinated Dong Zhuo was April 23rd in the third year of Chuping (192).On the same day, Emperor Xian Liu Xie, who had been ill for a long time, just recovered from a serious illness. According to the system, this is also a big event. Liu Xie will receive civil and military officials in Weiyang Hall in Chang'an. Dong Zhuo will go there by car wearing court clothes.Dong Zhuo has a lot of privileges, his car can go all the way to the gate of the temple, but he still thinks it is not safe enough, so many guards are arranged along the road, with infantry on one side and cavalry on the other, making it airtight and invincible .

But this time no matter how strict the security measures are, it will be vulnerable, because the person in charge of Dong Zhuo's security is Lv Bu, the general of Zhonglang.Lu Bu had arranged in advance for Li Su to bring the strong men Qin Yi, Chen Wei ("Jiuzhou Chunqiu" said there was another person named Li Hei) and a dozen others to mix among the guards.As soon as Dong Zhuo's car entered the palace gate, Li Su stabbed Dong Zhuo's chest with his halberd! This came too suddenly, no matter how good Dong Zhuo's skill was, he didn't have time to react, and Dong Zhuo was in the car, so it was difficult to move, so the halberd was stabbed.Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo was wearing iron armor in his court clothes, the halberd did not go in, the edge of the halberd slipped down, only stabbing Dong Zhuo's arm.Dong Zhuo fell headfirst from the car. Dong Zhuo shouted: "Lü Bu come quickly!" Lu Bu was actually right behind him, and what he was holding was not a weapon, but an imperial decree from nowhere. Lu Bu announced loudly: "Following the emperor's edict, we will kill the rebels here!" Then he picked up the iron spear and stabbed Dong Zhuo straight. Dong Zhuo was still yelling at the moment before he died: "You dog, how courageous (a mediocre dog, dare to be so evil)?!" Dong Zhuo's entourage, Tian Yi, and others tried to rescue them, but Lü Bu killed three more with his spear.Lu Bu announced: "The imperial edict specifies that only one person, Dong Bandit, will be killed, and it has nothing to do with other people." So no one resisted any more. The generation of traitors who were commented by Fan Ye as sinful, offending heaven, earth and people, and Chen Shou as vicious, cruel and cruel finally died. When the news came out, the entire city of Chang'an was boiling, and the people who had been suppressed for a long time were finally proud. Everyone sang and danced, and held a grand carnival.Someone sold jewelry and fine clothes in exchange for wine and meat to celebrate.The streets and streets of Chang'an City are full of people, full of joy. Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong, nephew Dong Huang, and all members of the Dong family who stayed in Wu were killed. Dong Zhuo's body was dragged to the market in Chang'an City for public display, and Lu Bu chopped off his head and took it away.Dong Zhuo's body was burned after finishing the exhibition.Yuan's disciples and old officials still felt puzzled, they watched the residue burnt to ashes, and then scattered on the side of the road.
