The Kwantung Coalition was disbanded, the Huimeng failed, and Luoyang was no longer threatened.

Recently, the imperial court has been stable, and no one has come out to oppose Dong Zhuo; The situation in several prefectures under the jurisdiction of Champion Hou and Jingzhou and Sili regions is stable; Wei Xu went to Yingchuan County to take office, which reduced the number of Lü Bu's officers and soldiers in Luoyang by half.

Dong Zhuo was in a good mood and felt that everything was under his absolute control.

At this time, something happened that Dong Zhuo did not expect, which made him very annoyed and his temperament changed greatly.

Wu Fu, the word Deyu. Runan Wufang (now Suiping, Henan) people, rarely have a big festival, for the county under the book, after the general He Jin opened for the East Cao subordinate, and then moved to serve in the middle, Henan Yin, Yue cavalry captain.

On May 17, due to Dong Zhuo's dictatorship and brutalization of Zhongliang, Wu Fu decided to assassinate him with his own hands; For this day, he planned for a long time, first of all, he moved his family to Jizhou for resettlement, and secondly, he has been holding back his burden, and he has been falsely welcoming Dong Zhuo and others, and has won Dong Zhuo's trust.

So, he wore a court robe and went to see Dong Zhuo, and the two talked warmly.

Wu Fu finished the matter and said goodbye to Dong Zhuo; Dong Zhuo got up and sent him to the door of the pavilion, and affectionately stroked his back with his hand to show his favor.

Wu Fu took the opportunity to draw a sharp blade and stab at Dong Zhuo, but did not hit; Wu Fu grabbed Dong Zhuo's clothes with one hand, and stabbed Dong Zhuo in the abdomen again with a dagger in the other.

Dong Zhuo grabbed Wu Fu's wrist tightly with both hands, and the two sides argued. Dong Zhuo struggled and resisted, and shouted for help: "There are assassins, come quickly!" ”

When the nearby guards heard Dong Zhuo's call for help, they were shocked and immediately swarmed over, surrounded Wu Fu, subdued him, and took the dagger from his hand.

Dong Zhuo was rescued intact, which scared him but not lightly, and scolded: "Wu Fu, whose ancestors do not eat blood, you want to rebel!" ”

Wu Fu scolded loudly: "You are not my king, I am not your minister, why is it the other way around? Thou hast usurped the lord of the country, the sin is great, and now is the day of my death, so I have come to punish the traitor's ear, and I hate to split you in the city to thank the world. ”

Dong Zhuo was furious and ordered someone to hack Wu Fu to death; Before he died, Wu Fu was still insulting.

Ding Guan hit Zhuo and died, Wu Fu killed the thief and died, and the two were called husbands, and their loyal souls still haunted the Han Court.

When the news of Dong Zhuo's assassination came out, the ministers of Luoyang were shocked, and they were afraid that Dong Zhuo would go crazy again and create unprovoked killings, so Yang Biao, Ma Riyan, Wang Yun, Huang Wan, Shisun Rui, Yang Zan and others all came to visit.

Everyone's overtures to Dong Zhuo made Dong Zhuo feel good, and he did not carefully investigate Wu Fu's assassination, through this incident, the scholars in Luoyang bowed to him, Dong Zhuo felt that he had no loss, at least he saw the attitude of these scholars towards him.

However, after that, he hid in the Great General's Mansion of He Jin, strengthened his guards and precautions, and generally did not go out again.

From Dong Zhuo's perverse actions, Wang Yun had already keenly realized that he would become the biggest hidden danger to the Eastern Han regime, and necessary measures must be taken to contain and get rid of Dong Zhuo. However, Dong Zhuo has a strong military force in his hands, many henchmen, and Dong Zhuo himself is fierce and vicious, if he takes the initiative to attack, he can only hit the stone with an egg. So, Wang Yun blindly resigned himself on the surface, and even obeyed Dong Zhuo to let him relax his guard, but in fact, he was planning carefully and arranging carefully.

Wang Yun remained quiet, followed the trend, and tried his best to cater to him, and sometimes, Wang Yun did not hesitate to be hypocritical and deviate from his principles in exchange for Dong Zhuo's trust.

Dong Zhuo saw that Wang Yun not only had talent, but also was loyal to himself and had no second thoughts, so he regarded Wang Yun as his confidant and cronies, and did not have the slightest suspicion of Wang Yun, and promoted Wang Yun to Situ, and at the same time served as Shang Shuling; made Wang Yun's position high and powerful, no matter how big or small the government was, it was entrusted to Wang Yun to deal with.

While being perfunctory with Dong Zhuo on the surface, Wang Yun secretly actively organized and prepared for the struggle against Dong Zhuo, but things were done more secretly, and the mistakes of Wufu must not be repeated.

Dong Zhuo became more and more satisfied with Wang Yun's performance.

Ma Riyan, the word Uncle Weng, a native of Fufeng Maoling (now northeast of Xingping, Shaanxi), has been suppressed before, at this time, he was very trusted by Dong Zhuo and was appointed as a lieutenant to build momentum for Dong Zhuo.

Now Li Ru is in charge of the army and intelligence, and there is an assassination incident, Dong Zhuo did not pursue it, but he blamed himself very much; Now Dong Zhuo is the sole commander of the Liangzhou army, if he has an accident, the Liangzhou army has no charm to control, and there will be a situation of fragmentation, which is easy to be broken by the Kwantung Army, and the consequences of each will be unimaginable.

As a result, Li Ru made adjustments to the defense of Luoyang City and strengthened the protection of Dong Zhuo and Luoyang; The captains, lieutenants, lieutenants, lieutenants of the divisions, and the generals who led the troops at the city gates were all adjusted, and all of them were replaced by people from Liangzhou or people from the Sanfu area who could be trusted; The defenders of Luoyang were all replaced by Liangzhou soldiers with strong combat effectiveness and loyalty.

The "Flying Bear Army" with strong combat effectiveness is stationed in Luoyang City, patrolling from time to time; Li Wei even lived in the Taishi Mansion to protect the safety of the Taishi Mansion at all times.

Subsequently, a bloody slaughter unfolded in Luoyang, and all families connected with the Kwantung rebels were exterminated and their property confiscated; As long as the identity of the person is suspected, they are all arrested and killed.

In order to ensure the safety of Luoyang City, even Lu Bu's officers and soldiers were transferred out of Luoyang City and returned to Pingxian County in the northwest of Luoyang to station.

Wang Yun and Lu Bu were both from Bingzhou, and in his eyes, Lu Bu became the target of his wooing.

At this time, the information that the champion Hou convened a meeting of the military personnel in charge of the jurisdiction was sent to Li Ru, and Li Ru immediately went to Dong Zhuo to negotiate.

After reading the information, Dong Zhuo asked uneasily, "What does Wen You think about this?" ”

Li Ru thought for a while and said: "Taishi, judging by the phenomenon of discord between the champion Hou and the Shi clan, he promised not to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court at the beginning, so that we could fight hard with the Kwantung Shi clan and consume each other's strength, but now that the Kwantung Coalition Army has been disbanded, the goal of the champion Hou has not been achieved, he is definitely not satisfied, and this meeting of the military advisors must be to discuss how to deal with us." ”

Dong Zhuo had doubts about this, Li Ruyi said, he felt that the problem was serious, if the champion Hou and the Kwantung clan did not recognize the current imperial court, he would be struggling, with his strength, he was unable to compete with the champion Hou, so he asked anxiously: "Then what should I do?" ”

Li Ru looked at Dong Zhuo's nervous face and said: "Don't worry, Taishi, we have so many officers and soldiers, strong soldiers and horses, extremely strong combat effectiveness, and there is still value for the champion Hou, I believe that the champion Hou is a smart person, he will definitely not fight with us immediately, we still have a chance." ”

Dong Zhuo hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"Haha, Taishi, we have so many troops, if we fight with the champion Hou, he won't be able to take advantage of much, even if we are destroyed, we will make him suffer a miserable loss, how can the champion Hou be so stupid? Secondly, the emperor is in our hands, which is our greatest advantage, and the champion Hou will cast a mouse bogey; Third, if we cooperate with the champion Hou, both parties will benefit and be happy. Taishi does not have to worry, Confucianism believes that the envoy of the champion Hou will come to Beijing soon, and when the time comes, we will listen to the opinion of the champion Hou first, and then we will make plans; At present, let's use the assassination of Taishi as an excuse to solve the scholars in Luoyang and the private chat area, which will definitely win the happiness of the champion Hou and ensure the stability of Luoyang and the Sili region. ”

Dong Zhuo was relieved and said with a smile: "Haha, this plan is very good, Wen You has considered it thoroughly, so he will use Wen You's words." ”
