Chapter 58: Dong Zhuo dies
But it was said that Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Chang'an, was in a good mood since the Kwantung coalition army broke up, and he single-handedly planned the turmoil in Yizhou, and now the tiger Sun Jian went away to Jiangdong, 108,000 miles away from himself, and the evil wolf Chen Lin fell into the chaos and competition in Shuzhong, and there was no time to look north, Dong Zhuo sat back and relaxed. At the beginning of the fourth year of the First Ping Dynasty, Zhang Wen, a veteran of the Han Dynasty, was killed by Dong Zhuo, and the death of Zhang Wen greatly stimulated a cadre in the court, including Huangfu Song, who was idle at home, to decide that Dong Zhuo became more and more arbitrary, almost to the point where he had to be removed. But everyone in the court dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, afraid of Dong Zhuo, especially evil ghosts, at this time there was a person in Chang'an, it was the famous Situ Wang Yun, who couldn't stand Dong Zhuo's domineering and wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
Speaking of Dong Zhuo, I have to say one person, that is Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. Since Dong Zhuo began to move the capital to Chang'an, Lu Bu has reused the warlords of the old Xiliang Department from the new, and he has been a little cold to Zhang Liao and Lu Bu and others who are not Xiliang soldiers. Zhang Liao and Lu Bu and Lu Bu's friend Li Su in the same county, one is a Zhonglang general, one is Wen Hou, and the other is a cavalry captain, and the names of the three people are under Dong Zhuo's account, but the treatment is not as good as day by day. Zhang Liao said that this person is not good at complaining and complaining, but Li Su and Lu Bu are different, the two often get together to drink, drink until the sky is dark, and then there is a dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo. Somehow, these actually let Wang Yun know, and Wang Yun began to contact the three of them.
Wang Yun first found Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao now has a very high rank, but there are no soldiers, no generals, no real power, only one old ministry cronies, the number is not much, far less than the Xiliang generals' subordinates have a real life. Wang Yun looked for Zhang Liao, and Zhang Liao was also surprised, Zhang Liao knew what kind of reputation his gang of people had outside, Zhang Liao hated himself, blamed himself for not seeing Dong Zhuo's personality clearly when he was in Luoyang, millions of people in Luoyang, more than sixty percent of them were tossed to death by Dong Zhuo. Zhang Liao only poured wine vigorously, and did not speak, but Zhang Liao's actions made Wang Yun's heart very excited, Zhang Liao's expression showed that Zhang Liao was indeed unwilling now. As long as Zhang Liao is not Dong Zhuo's diehard, then Wang Yun will have a chance, and he will dare to say his plan to get rid of Dong, otherwise Dong Zhuo will not die, and he Wang Yun will go to hell first. Wang Yun wanted to play a psychological tactic with Zhang Liao, so Wang Yun didn't speak from beginning to end, he was waiting for Zhang Liao to speak impatiently, and at this time, it was usually easy to fall into passivity if he spoke first. But Zhang Liao's patience was beyond Wang Yun's imagination, Zhang Liao kept drinking and eating meat, Wang Yun didn't speak, and Zhang Liao didn't speak. In the entire silent hall, there was only the sound of Zhang Liao snapping and gnawing meat, which lasted for an hour. Seeing that Zhang Liao put down his bones, he didn't go to get the wine bottle again, but picked up the silk cloth next to him to wipe his hands. Wang Yun smiled in his heart, after all, you can't stand me, you have to speak. But Zhang Liao didn't make a sound as Wang Yun imagined, but stood up directly and silently arched his hand to Wang Yun, and then walked towards the gate. Wang Yun was stunned and stunned, only to see Zhang Liao walking five or six zhang, and suddenly stopped and turned back to Wang Yun and said something that made Wang Yun tremble: "Wang Situ, Liao is loyal to the Han Dynasty, not to anyone." Then he opened the door himself and left. Wang Yun was shocked, Zhang Liao knew what he was going to do, he really knew, otherwise he wouldn't have said that, was Zhang Liao's words true, would he tell Dong Zhuo, did he make a mistake, and he was seen through so easily. Countless questions and doubts were entangled in Wang Yun's mind, this night, Wang Yun was both confused and frightened, afraid that Dong Zhuo would come to arrest him in the middle of the night, Zhang Wen's bloody head Wang Yun still did not dare to forget.
As soon as the next day dawned, Wang Yun impatiently ran to the like-minded Sili Lieutenant Huang Wan's mansion, and he wanted to discuss it with Huang Wan. Huang Wan dispelled Wang Yun's worries with a word, Huang Wan said that if Zhang Liao would tell the truth, would you Wang Yun be able to live until dawn? Then Huang Wan went to find Zhang Liao in person, and came back to tell Wang Yunyi, Wang Yuncai completely believed Zhang Liao. At this time, Zhang Liao joined, and with the old general Huangfu Song who was idle at home, Wang Yun suddenly felt that things seemed to be getting more and more hopeful. At this time, Zhang Liao recommended a person to Wang Yun, Lu Bu. Zhang Liao didn't like Lu Bu, because Zhang Liao always decided that it was wrong for Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan, and later Zhang Liao inadvertently got the truth, but his preconceived notions made him still not interested in Lu Bu. Wang Yun felt very reasonable, others may not know, but Wang Yun knew that Ding Jianyang's case was indeed that many people misunderstood Lu Bu, thinking that Lu Bu was forgetting his righteousness for the sake of profit, and killed Ding Yuan for a horse and a bunch of treasures. In fact, Lu Bu is acting in accordance with the edict, just imagine that the holy will of the Han Dynasty is in hand, will Lu Bu not kill Ding Yuan, but Ding Yuan did not die in the hands of Lu Bu, but died on a fake edict from Li Ru. In this way, as long as Lu Bu believes that it was the Han Emperor who asked him to kill Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu will definitely not refuse, especially under Lu Bu's current situation. Uncle Dong Cheng took charge of this matter, although the Han Emperor is not married yet, but the family matter has long been decided.
Dong Cheng's blood edict must be effective, coupled with Wang Yun's pervasive allocation, what Wenhou, look at how you are doing now, it is not as good as a small military commander, last time I heard that Dong Zhuo also smashed you with a weapon, do you think you can get what you want if you go to the informant now and let Dong Zhuo kill us, why don't you get rid of Dong Zhuo in the future and let His Majesty make you a lieutenant of Sili and directly take charge of the forbidden army, etc., Lu Bu gritted his teeth at Dong Zhuo, and he couldn't wait to poke Dong Zhuo into a few big holes now, Lu Bu agreed to Wang Yun. If you want to say where Lu Bu's role is, every time Dong Zhuo returns to Chang'an from the Crane Dock for two or three days, he still asks Lu Bu to be a guard, of course, Lu Bu is not qualified to go to the Crane Dock, so every time Lu Bu is only useful when Dong Zhuo returns to Chang'an.
The more people, the greater the strength, but the greater the risk, Wang Yun has to go through countless observations and tests every time he chooses a person, in addition to eating a deflated person on Zhang Liao, whether it is Lu Bu or Li Su, even characters like Huangfu Song are all Wang Yun dared to say after thousands of temptations, this is a matter of life and wealth.
Every time Dong Zhuo entered Chang'an, he would take his five thousand most elite cavalry and line up outside the palace, which was why Wang Yun needed Zhang Liao, and now with Lu Bu, although Lu Bu did not have many soldiers and horses in name, but the thousands of Bingzhou iron cavalry did not listen to him back then, but poor Dong Zhuo thought that after such a long time, these Bingzhou soldiers would no longer obey Lu Bu. Zhang Liao's old department, plus Lu Bu's iron cavalry, as well as Lu Bu and Zhang Liao's martial arts, and several famous people, such as Huang Wan, such as Huangfu Song, Wang Yun decided that the time was slowly ripe.
Wang Yun has designed it, Dong Zhuo entered the palace, just behind the palace gate, let Lu Bu quickly kill Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo died, and the state army and Zhang Liao came out to solve Dong Zhuo's five thousand flying bear army, the rest is not to be afraid, take Dong Zhuo's head, it is more effective than 100,000 troops, Chang'an can fall into control in half a day, and then take the opportunity to take the cavalry to take the Crane Dock, there are too many national resources, don't come back. Next is the matter of Dong Zhuo's old department, Wang Yun decided that as long as Dong Zhuo died, he would prevent the five thousand flying bear army outside the palace from causing trouble in Chang'an, and the rest were all trivial matters, what Xiliang army, hearing that Dong Zhuo was dead was a plate of loose sand.
Just do it, quickly and quickly spy on the news of the Crane Dock, when Dong Zhuo got up and went back to Chang'an, time inquired again and again, lest he make a mistake. On this day, everyone in the know was nervously tied, both excited and nervous, and the state army had been transferred to Chang'an by Wang Yun secretly forging Dong Zhuo's order, and few people knew. If there is an accident this time, Dong Zhuo is not dead, or Dong Zhuo does not return to Chang'an halfway, then within three days, Wang Yun's forgery will definitely be leaked, and it will be Wang Yun's group of people who will die at that time, and none of them will be able to escape, so they can only win today and cannot be defeated. If you win, you still have a chance to revive the Han Dynasty, and if you lose, there will be nothing, and everyone will die.
Lu Bu was going to go out of the city twenty miles to greet Dong Zhuo, and the other Wang Yun and others were also going out of the city for ten miles to greet Dong Zhuo along with the unwitting civil and military officials, which was not an explicit rule that had always existed. First of all, Dong Zhuo's absolute supporters stepped forward to pay a visit, and then Dong Zhuo had the opportunity to see the people behind him, Dong Zhuo became more and more obese, Wang Yun sneered in his heart, this time I will use the fat oil on your body to light the lamp. But he had to greet him with a smile: "Xiangguo, but the power is even more than a month ago." Dong Zhuo laughed, sat in the carriage and beckoned to Wang Yun, not even getting off the car, when did Dong Zhuo get off the car. The same procedure, the same arrogance, the five thousand flying bear army stopped in front of the palace gate, the palace gate was not allowed to close, Dong Zhuo was escorted into the palace by Lu Bu, turned the first palace gate, Wang Yun had already secretly run to the front, and at this time he was glaring angrily in front of the high hall steps. Dong Zhuo was shocked, and hurriedly called out to Lu Bu, who was rushing to the car: "Fengxian, why is Situ lifting the sword, stop quickly, the puppet is trying to harm me." ”
Lu Bu sneered, the carriage rushed straight away, and suddenly Lu Bu pulled the reins, looked at Dong Zhuo, who was also in the car, and shouted: "Kill the national thief by edict, and the Dong thief will die." "Dong Zhuo was a well-known warrior in Xiliang when he was young, with great strength, and now he has a huge body, Lu Bu went with a steel knife, but because Dong Zhuo's armor was excellent, he did not hurt Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo rushed towards Lu Bu and pressed heavily on Lu Bu, and the two fell directly from the carriage, with Lu Bu at the bottom and Dong Zhuo at the top. At this time, a group of armor-piercing warriors with knives and spears rushed over, and they didn't think that they must have come for Dong Zhuo, and they heard the huge palace door slamming shut outside, and it was Zhang Liao who began to murder the Flying Bear Army.
Dong Zhuo stood up and scolded angrily: "Why did Lu Fengxian betray me? After scolding, he hurried out to run, Lu Bu didn't answer, and quickly picked up the steel knife to chase and kill, Dong Zhuo still had the bravery of the year, he was caught up by Lu Bu in three steps and five strokes, and he was stabbed in the back, right at the junction of the neck armor, and suddenly the blood did not stop, and Dong Zhuo fell to the ground. Countless warriors rushed around, squeezed Lu Bu away, and chopped Dong Zhuo into a meal of meat puree. Wang Yun shouted to stop, and then ordered someone to pick up the vague corpse of Dong Zhuo, which was useful.
Chang'an City began to fight for his life, Dong Zhuo was dead, where could Dong Zhuo's subordinates resist, plus Huangfu Song and others sent their families to help in the battle, and instantly emptied Dong Zhuo's old department in Chang'an City. Huangfu Song hurriedly raised troops to take the dock, Dong Zhuo died, can the Han really prosper, and Wang Yun really got his wish.
