At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Before Lu Bu and Wang Yun conspired to assassinate Dong Zhuo, He Yong, Xunyou and others were the masterminds. Wu Fu personally assassinated Dong Zhuo once, but failed.

The conspiracy between Wang Yun and Lu Bu was actually the second assassination of Dong.

After experiencing the coalition's requisition for the board of directors and seeing the inevitable chaos in the world, the "sighted people" in the Chang'an court finally realized what stupid things they had done. They finally determined that the only real feasible way was to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

He Yong, Xunyou and Wu Fu came first, and Wang Yun and Lu Bu followed. Dong Zhuo was actually doomed, although it was a bit dramatic.

Wu Fu's courageous striving to be the first inspired Wang Yun, who strengthened his confidence in getting rid of Dong Zhuo.

Wang Yun was close to Dong Zhuo and Lv Bu, knowing that Dong Zhuo trusted Lv Bu, so he paid attention to Lv Bu.

Lu Bu and Wang Yun are both from Bingzhou, and they usually have a good relationship.

Lv Bu often told Wang Yun things that others didn't know, so Wang Yun knew Lv Bu's dissatisfaction with Dong Zhuo.

For example, Dong Zhuo once threw Lv Bu with his halberd because of a little incident. If Lv Bu hadn't dodged quickly, there would probably be no such thing as Lv Bu now.

Although the two reconciled later, this incident stuck in Lu Bu's heart like a thorn, which made him very unhappy.

Not to mention that Lu Bu is a lustful man, he can't control his lower body very much. Although he has a lot of wives and concubines, he still can't control himself. just.

While guarding Dong Zhuo, Lv Bu fell in love with a maid who served Dong Zhuo, so he tried every means to use the convenience of protecting Dong Zhuo to get close to the maid.

Afterwards, Lv Bu was very worried about what would happen to him if Dong Zhuo found out about this matter.

When he didn't succeed, his mind was full of wanting to succeed. After he really succeeded, he entered the state of a sage, and finally remembered Dong Zhuo's cruelty.

Lu Bu was depressed and asked Wang Yun to drink, and when he drank too much, he told Wang Yun about it.

Wang Yun was worried that there was no way to get Lu Bu to join the gang to assassinate Dong Zhuo, so Lu Bu gave the opportunity to Wang Yun himself.

"The general is right to be worried. If Dong Zhuo finds out about this matter, how will Dong Zhuo treat the general? The general is already in a life-threatening situation, so why don't you know it? Why don't you join forces with us?" ?”

Wang Yun's words turned Lu Bu's face pale.

"But Dong Zhuo is my adoptive father, if I kill him, wouldn't it be disloyal and filial?"

Do you still have loyalty and filial piety?

When Wang Yun secretly satirized Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan in his heart, he was straightforward, but he said: "The general is confused, the general's surname is Lu, and Dong Zhuo's surname is Dong. They are not a family in the first place. How can there be friendship between father and son?"

Lu Bu did not study much, while Wang Yun studied a lot, and he was full of calculations, so he coaxed, lied and threatened, and finally let Lu Bu know that if he didn't kill Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo would kill him.

So Lu Bu made up his mind to join the ranks of assassins.

Wang Yun told Liu Xie about this in private.

"For Your Majesty to get rid of Dong Zhuo's restraint, the veteran will definitely spare no effort."

Wang Yun just swore an oath.

Liu Xie is not Liu Bian. At such a young age, he does have some ideas and courage.

He felt that Wang Yun's previous plan was inconvenient to carry out, so he offered an idea.

"I can announce my illness to the outside world, and I will announce my recovery in a few days, and then call a group of ministers to the palace for a banquet. Wang Qing can take this opportunity to gather people who are willing to kill Dong Zhuo, and kill Dong Zhuo in the palace. , leaving him nowhere to escape."

Wang Yun felt that this plan was very clever, and he was overjoyed. He praised Liu Xie for his cleverness, and then began to operate.

Liu Xie first announced that he was ill and did not meet with ministers for a few days. Many famous doctors came, and there was a lot of commotion.

After waiting for a few days, Liu Xie announced that he had recovered from his illness, called a banquet for the ministers to celebrate, and justifiably invited Dong Zhuo to the banquet.

Dong Zhuo happily went.

Wang Yun, who had already controlled Lu Bu and the imperial guards, could finally let go of his hands and feet.

So Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo with his own hands.

Afterwards, Wang Yun immediately asked the messenger to deliver the pardon edict to various government departments.

When the news of Dong Zhuo's death came out, the soldiers shouted long live, the people sang and danced on the road, and many people celebrated by exchanging jewels for wine and meat.

At this time, as the person who has always been in charge of the government, Wang Yun was able to fully control the government, and immediately sent an envoy Zhang Zhong to the Kanto to appease Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and other anti-Dong figures.

Wang Yun wants to tell them that Dong Zhuo is dead, and the world is not allowed to be in chaos anymore. Come and pay tribute to the emperor to establish order.

Wang Yun tried to restore the order of the Han Dynasty, and established his own new order with himself as the ruler.

At the same time, Wang Yun appointed Lu Bu as General Fenwei, granted the title of Marquis Wen, and granted him a false festival.

Then he sent Huangfu Song to lead an army to attack Dong Zhuo's base camp, Mei County, to wipe out Dong Zhuo's remnants and all Dong clan members.

Dong Zhuo's 90-year-old mother asked to be saved from death, but Huangfusong refused and beheaded her.

Huangfusong's political literacy and character were fully exposed in this matter.

He didn't dare to attack Dong Zhuo, and let go of [-] soldiers for nothing. When Dong Zhuo came to Chang'an, he knelt on the side of the road to meet Dong Zhuo and assassinated Dong Zhuo. He didn't participate. Once Dong Zhuo died, he rose up.

The entire Dong clan was wiped out.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, if a very old person commits a crime or is implicated, he can be exempted as appropriate. A person in his 90s like Dong Zhuo's mother, even if he is implicated in this matter, according to the law, he does not have to be executed.

Huangfusong's attack was straightforward.

He has no guts to deal with powerful national thieves, but he is straightforward and quick to bully the old, weak, sick and disabled, not even Zhu Jun.

Although Zhu Jun was repeatedly defeated by the Liangzhou army, at least he dared to fight and attack Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo's entire family was wiped out. From an old woman in her 90s to a child in her infancy, no one survived.

Those quail-like scholars who were intimidated by Dong Zhuo all stood up.

The former officials of Yuan's disciples even ran to Mei County, scrambling to perform political performances, burning the bodies of Dong's clan members to ashes, and scattering them on the side of the road.

They had such a drama in order to avenge Dong Zhuo's killing of the Yuan clan.

The body of Dong Zhuo himself was dumped on Chang'an Avenue because he was fat, had oil in his stomach, and someone had stuck a wick in his navel and it burned for days without extinguishing it.

It was a very dramatic thing for Dong Zhuo to become the ruler of this empire, and it was also a very dramatic thing to be killed. His whole life was very dramatic.

When he was alive, everyone wanted him to die, but after he died, many people wanted him not to die.

There is no other reason, the ass determines the head.

Certainly Guo did not want Dong Zhuo to die like this, and hoped that he could live on for a few more years, but Dong Zhuo still had to die because his mission had been completed and he was no longer useful.

Chapter 272

After Dong Zhuo's death, the court of Chang'an entered a short period of Bingzhou people's rule.

In terms of government affairs, Wang Yun is headed, and in military affairs, Lu Bu is headed. Both of them are from Bingzhou.

Wang Yun also appointed other Bingzhou people to hold important positions. This short period was naturally the period of the Bingzhou Gang.

Although he is from Bingzhou, Wang Yun has a great reputation and is also a famous scholar. Through his unremitting struggle with the eunuchs, he was accepted by the Kanto scholars, so there is no opposition to his ruling.

Everyone regards Wang Yun as the hero who eliminated Dong Zhuo, praises him, and obeys him.

As a result, Wang Yun's power gradually increased, and he did not confiding his heart as before when talking with others, but gradually gained a tone and demeanor, sitting upright without changing his face, looking very dignified.

Many celebrities felt sorry for this and gradually alienated Wang Yun.

Wang Yun himself didn't realize this, he just felt that the heights were overwhelming, and he was still promoting the process of calming the troubled times according to his own ideals.

Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he must be killed and eliminated, and how to deal with the entire Dong Zhuo's old department is a crucial matter.

At that time, the news of Dong Zhuo's death came out, and Dong Zhuo's troops were still intact, and they were still guarding against the Kwantung Army west of Hangu Pass.

At that time, Dong Zhuo had five important generals under his command.

Xu Rong, Duan Yao, Hu Zhen, Niu Fu, Dong Yue.

Xu Rong, Duan Yan and Hu Zhen acted quickly and immediately announced their surrender to the court, which was allowed by Wang Yun and saved their lives, but Dong Yue and Niu Fu were unwilling to surrender.

In fact, there is no need to surrender.

Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and Dong Yue is of the same clan. They have been killed and his whole family, how can they surrender?

So Dong Yue hurried to find Niu Fu to discuss the strategy, but Niu Fu instead killed Dong Yue and annexed his troops, became the new leader of the Liangzhou Army, led everyone to counterattack the army sent by Wang Yun to crusade against them, and won the battle , defeated Lu Bu and Li Su.

It's a pity that Niu Fu was able to fight, but he couldn't drill camp like Dong Zhuo. In the end, he made a foolish move, abandoned the army and wanted to flee back to his hometown to survive, but was killed by his subordinates on the way.

Once Niu Fu and Dong Yue died, their army was put under the control of several school lieutenants.

Li Jue, Guo Si, Jia Xu, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, Wang Fang, these captains became their own bosses without their immediate bosses.

A group of people panicked, discussed for a while, and decided to surrender to the Chang'an court together, learning from Duan Yan and Xu Rong.

This is where Wang Yun's bad things happened.

He was erratic in dealing with Dong Zhuo's old department, changing orders day and night, and doing whatever he wanted. This is the most important reason for his demise.

Originally, he agreed with Lu Bu to pardon Dong Zhuo's former subordinates in order to win their cooperation and quickly quell the chaos, so he pardoned Xu Rong and others, but when things came to an end, he went back on his word and said he would punish them.

Do not accept the surrender of Li Jue, Guo Si and others.

When Li Jue, Guo Si and others got the news, they were shocked and panicked like headless chickens. They discussed and discussed, decided to abandon the army, fled back to their hometown with their belongings, and lived incognito.

Then a man stepped forward and stopped the process.

Jia Xu, Jia Wenhe.

Because Jia Xu was a man of culture, he read a lot and was resourceful, and Niu Fu usually listened to Jia Xu's opinions, so after Niu Fu's death, Jia Xu's opinions were highly valued by everyone.

"I heard that the Chang'an court is preparing to kill us Liangzhou people, but now I hear that you have decided to abandon the army and flee back to your hometown, I think this is a very wrong choice.

If you give up the army, you will completely lose the ability to protect yourself. A pavilion chief can arrest you. People are swords and I are fish. Is this what you want to see? "

When Jia Xu said this, Li Jue, Guo Si, Fan Chou and others looked at each other in blank dismay, thinking that what Jia Xu said made sense.

"Wenhe, you are a scholar, you have many ways, what do you think we should do?"

A group of generals who couldn't read a whole bunch of characters pointed to Jia Xu eagerly for ideas.

Jia Xu took a deep breath.

"It's better to lead the troops to the west, restrain the soldiers along the way, and then attack Chang'an to avenge Dong Gong. If you are lucky enough to succeed, why don't you worry about your glory and wealth? If you can't succeed, it's not too late to escape. It's better than giving up directly."

Jia Xu deeply understands that in troubled times, the army is very important. With soldiers in hand, there is hope. If you give up the army like Niu Fu, you will surely die.

The generals in Liangzhou sighed greatly after hearing this, and they all thought what Jia Xu said was right, so they all followed what Jia Xu said.

This incident is for civil and military chaos.

As far as Jia Xu himself is concerned, it is just a strategy he came up with in order to survive. He has no thought and never would have thought of the profound changes his proposal would bring to history.

The generals of the Liangzhou army gave up fleeing and turned to desperate efforts to find a way out, spreading the news that Wang Yun was going to massacre the people of Liangzhou, causing panic in the army.

Then incite the army to march towards Chang'an with them, gathering Dong Zhuo's broken army along the way.

All the way forward, all the way growing, by the time the news reached Wang Yun's ears, they had gathered [-] to [-] defeated soldiers.

When Wang Yun heard the news, he was a little surprised, but he didn't panic. He immediately ordered Xu Rong and Hu Zhen, who had surrendered to the court, to lead the army to attack the rebels in Liangzhou.

Xu Rong and Hu Zhen were ordered to go out, but Xu Rong died in battle and Hu Zhen surrendered.

It was only then that Wang Yun became a little confused, but he still didn't panic on the surface, and he was as steady as an old dog. He immediately organized the defense of the city. With the prestige Lu Bu in charge of defending the city, he guarded it himself, pretending to be calm.

He told himself that the game was stable, that Lu Bu was good at fighting, and that the rebel army in Liangzhou outside the city did not have enough food and grass, and they would surely collapse after a long time.

Lu Bu also wanted to show off, so he invited Guo Si to fight alone with him to decide the outcome.

Lu Bu stabbed Guo Si off his horse with a spear, almost killing him, and won the victory, which further fueled Wang Yun's belief in victory.

Steady as an old dog!

Then Chang'an fell.

The defenders in Chang'an City mutinied, betrayed the Chang'an court, opened the city gates to welcome Liangzhou rebels in, and started street fighting with the guard Lv Bu.

Lu Bu himself was brave and good at cavalry fighting, but city defense was not his strong point, so he was quickly defeated and fled with only a hundred cavalry.

When Lu Bu fled, he took Dong Zhuo's head with him, broke out of Wuguan, and absconded in the direction of Yuzhou.

Lu Bu gave up fighting, and Chang'an City fell into the hands of Liangzhou's rebel army. Li Jue and others took the soldiers to plunder.

Taichang Zhongfo, Dahonghe Zhou Huan, Chengmen school captain Cui Lie, Yueqi school captain Wang Qi, etc. were killed by the rebel army.

Li Jue and others supported troops to Yemen of Nangong, threatened Emperor Xian and Situ Wangyun, and named Li Jue General Yangwu, Guo Si General Yanglie, and Fan Chou General Zhonglang.

Then, Huang Wan, Zuo Fengyi, Song Yi, and You Fufeng Wang Hong, the lieutenant of Sili, died one after another.
