In the spring of 195, Dong Zhuo finally died.

After two years of delay, Dong Zhuo still died at the hands of Wang Yun and Lu Bu.

Dong Zhuo knew that he had made too many enemies, and he was afraid of being plotted by the enemy. Therefore, no matter where he goes, let Lu Bu be his entourage guard, which is equivalent to a personal guard. Dong Zhuo initially trusted Lu Bu and recognized him as his adopted son. After that, Dong Zhuo also asked Lu Bu to guard his inner bed.

Although there is no Diao Chan, Dong Zhuo still has many beautiful wives and concubines. And Lu Bu's lustful heart is still the same, and he is a naturally handsome guy, this time guarding Dong Zhuo's inner bed, he took the opportunity to hook up with one of Dong Zhuo's beautiful concubines.

The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms said: Zhuo often makes Bu Shou Zhonghe, and Bu has an affair with Zhuo's maid, fearing that things will be discovered, and he will not feel at ease.

Lu Bu and Dong Zhuo's concubine have been in contact for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will show their feet. When he cheated again, he happened to be seen by Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo was furious, pulled out his halberd and threw it at Lu Bu. Lu Bu was agile, and hurriedly fled and ran to Wang Yun's house to take refuge.

Wang Yun said: "You are Dong Zhuo's righteous son, and he actually wants to kill you for an insignificant woman." If you kill Dong Zhuo now, you can not only save your life, but also eliminate harm for the people of the world, and become the object of support of the people of the world, why don't you do it? ”

Lu Bu was originally a capricious villain, and Wang Yun naturally hit it off as soon as he was agitated.

Wang Yun gave him an idea and asked him to lead people to ambush behind the palace gate. When Dong Zhuo went to court the next day, more than 10 people including Lu Bu and Li Su rushed up and hacked Dong Zhuo to death with a knife.

After Dong Zhuo's death, the backhand arranged by Gongsun Kang two years ago worked.

Xu Rong has a great kindness to the Gongsun family, and he can't help it.

Two years ago, Gongsun Kang arranged for people to be his pro-army, and planned that after Dong Zhuo's death, he would help Xu Rong bring the soldiers and horses back to Liaodong.

First of all, Xu Rong's three most trusted personal soldiers, three Liaodong villagers who are brave and good at fighting and are not afraid of life and death, have revealed their identities and said that they were sent by Gongsun Kang to protect him.

The second was to show him a letter. A year ago, Gongsun Du wrote a handwritten letter to him.

A year ago, the Gongsun family foresaw Dong Zhuo's death and also predicted the union of Wang Yun and Lu Bu. It was even predicted that Wang Yun would send him to attack Li Dao and Guo Yan. persuaded him to take the opportunity to take away the soldiers and horses, and not to attack, otherwise the army would inevitably be defeated and killed.

The letter was already yellowed, apparently written a long time ago.

Xu Rong read the letter and asked his soldiers: "If I don't leave Chang'an, what will you do?" ”

The pro-soldier replied: "We will kidnap the general and bring him back to Liaodong." But in this way, thousands of comrades who share life and death with us will have to be thrown away in Chang'an. ”

Xu Rong asked suspiciously: "If we go to fight against Li Dao and Guo Yan, will we really fail?" ”

Soldier B replied: "The combined army of Li Dao and Guo Yan has 100,000 Liangzhou iron cavalry, does the general think that a few thousand of us can defeat them?" What's more, the champion Hou foresaw that Lu Bu and Wang Yun would jointly kill Dong Zhuo a year ago, since this prophecy has been fulfilled, will the prophecy about the general be inaccurate? ”

Xu Rong asked again: "Why did you confess this to me?" Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? ”

Qin Bing replied: "Our life is given by the champion Hou, and from the day we are born, the meaning of our life is to dedicate everything to the champion Hou, including life." ”

Xu Rong thought about it for a long time, and finally followed Gongsun Du's advice. He said: "If Wang Yun really orders me to go out of the city to attack Li Dao and Guo Yan, I will believe the prophecy of my eldest nephew Gongsun Kang." ”

Dong Zhuo's army before his death was mainly divided into two parts, one was the Chang'an troops in the capital led by Lu Bu and Li Su, and the other was the Liangzhou descendant troops led by Li Dao, Guo Yan, Zhang Ji, and Fan Chou.

After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, he was worried that the Liangzhou soldiers would come to take revenge, so he advised Wang Yun to disband the Liangzhou army quickly.

However, Wang Yun not only did not disband, but also let it go: "If there is an amnesty today, only the four of Li Guo and Zhang Fan will not be amnestied."

And Wang Yun is undoubtedly forcing Li Dao, Guo Yan and others to rebel. After they want to fight with Lu Bu, Wang Yun can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After the news of the imperial court's non-pardon reached Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, the strategist Jia Xu suggested that the Xiliang army gather men and horses to ask Chang'an Lu Bu for an explanation.

As a result, Li Dao, Guo Yan and others began to spread rumors, saying that the imperial court was going to kill the Liangzhou soldiers, and that the imperial court was going to kill all the people in Liangzhou, which made the Liangzhou soldiers panic and everyone was in danger, so as to incite the emotions of the soldiers under their command.

In this way, tens of thousands of Liangzhou soldiers and horses were gathered, and under the leadership of Li Dao, Guo Yan and others, under the banner of avenging Dong Zhuo, they killed Chang'an.

Within a few days, the news reached Chang'an, and Wang Yun ordered Xu Rong to go out of Chang'an to attack Li Dao and Guo Yan. Xu Rong pretended to agree, and after taking thousands of people out of the city, he went directly to the east and went to Qingzhou.

The pro-soldiers released the flying pigeon letter in advance, so Gongsun Kang sent 5,000 Liaodong iron horsemen to meet him.

Xu Rong did not bring grain and grass, and he was also very ruthless, plundering the grain, grass, horses, gold, silver and jewelry of the rich and powerful along the way. Later, they were all armed into cavalry, and they traveled all the way east, as fast as the wind.

When he saw Gongsun Kang in Qingzhou, he could also bring out two boxes of jewelry. He said, "I heard that I have two nephews, and these little things are for them to play with. ”

It can be seen that Xu Rong had a very happy journey to Qingzhou and did not endure hardships.

Gongsun Kang held a feast to Xu Rong, and at the same time set up a banquet to entertain the thousands of Chang'an soldiers brought by Xu Rong.

The next day, Gongsun Kang gave his uncle Xu Rong two pieces of advice:

1. When Xu Rong returned to Liaodong, he would give him the position of the governor of Liaodong soldiers and horses, and he would be in charge of the soldiers and horses of Liaodong.

Second, Xu Rong left the Central Plains, so the position of the governor of Xuzhou soldiers and horses could be given to him, and he would be in charge of Xuzhou soldiers and horses.

Xu Rong chose Xuzhou, he is still more greedy for the prosperity of the Central Plains, and in his impression, his hometown is still that cold and barren land.

Therefore, Gongsun Kang ordered Xu Rong to be the governor of Xuzhou, and at the same time ordered Zhang Liao to be the governor of Qingzhou, Zhao Yun to be the governor of Liaodong, and Gongsun Gong to be the governor of Xuansu County.

Tai Shici has long been the governor of the navy, so he will not be reappointed.

Zhao Yu is already married to Gongsun Gong, so Zhao Yun is a relative. Otherwise, Liu Yi is more qualified to take over as the governor of Liaodong.

Of course, Xu Rong still has to go back to Liaodong to meet his old friend Gongsun Du and meet his hometown father. Therefore, the soldiers and horses in Xuzhou are still managed by Gongsun Kangxian for the time being.
