In 189 AD, the twelfth emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, The Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong, died at the age of 33, and was succeeded by the 14-year-old eldest son of the 14-year-old emperor Liu Jie, who was known as the Shao Emperor of Han, and was presided over by Empress He.
At the beginning of Emperor Shao's succession to the throne, the imperial palace was turbulent and had been in a power struggle, and the general He Jin, in order to completely eliminate the Ten Constant Attendants and defend his own power, issued an edict to the northwestern warlord Shi Dongzhuo, led the Liangzhou army, and entered the capital Luoyang to help, but brought a devastating blow to Emperor Shao of Han.
Dong Zhuo and his army were still on the road, He Jin and the eunuchs had already begun to fight, the eunuchs killed He Jin, held Empress He and Emperor Shao of Han hostage, and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, fled, and the palace suddenly caught fire and became a mess.
At this time, Dong Zhuo led his troops to the capital Luoyang, and heard that Emperor Shao of Han had fled to the north of the city a few days ago, so Dong Zhuo led his army to search north, and later found Emperor Shao of Han and his party under The Northern Mangsan.
At that time, Emperor Shao of Han was frightened like a bird of fright, answering Dong Zhuo's greetings, surprisingly incoherent, and Liu Xie, the king of Chen Liu, was calm and calm, helping his brother to answer Dong Zhuo's greetings, and Dong Zhuo saw that King Chen Liu was stronger than Emperor Shao of Han, and he had the idea of abolishing the emperor and establishing another one.
Dong Zhuo received the fallen Emperor Shao of Han and others, returned to Luoyang, and with the merit of escorting him, served as a taishi and Xiangguo, controlled the government, and in order to quickly control the situation in the imperial court and improve his prestige, decided to depose The Shao Emperor of Han and establish Liu Xie, the prince of ChenLiu, as Emperor Xian of Han.
At that time, Emperor Xian of Han was nine years old, the lord was weak and strong, Dong Zhuo held great power in the court, and if the minister slightly disobeyed the rebels, Dong Zhuo showed no mercy and was executed.
Dong Zhuo was fierce and cruel to Zhongliang, which aroused the anger of the ministers of the DPRK, and those who were loyal to the Han Dynasty wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo, of which the chancellor Wang Yun had been looking for an opportunity.
One day, Wang Yun set up a banquet at home to celebrate his birthday, the ministers who were good on weekdays came to wish for the birthday, everyone drank wine for a while at the banquet, Wang Yun suddenly cried, everyone was very confused, today is Wang Yun's birthday, should be happy, how to be sad.
Wang Yun explained that it was not a secret, today is actually not my birthday, because I want to discuss something with everyone, afraid of being suspected by Dong Zhuo, I have to use the birthday as an excuse to summon everyone to come and plan a big thing together.
Wang Yun said that now Dong Zhuo controls the government, bullying the weak monarch, harming the people, and the Han Room is in danger, and whenever he thinks of this, he can't help but cry, and when everyone hears Wang Yun say this, they can't help but cry bitterly and cry.
At this time, suddenly someone clapped their hands and laughed, and everyone looked up, it turned out that this person was Cao Cao, a lieutenant of the Xiao Riding School, and Cao Cao said that the Manchu Dynasty ministers of culture and martial arts were all sitting here crying and crying, could they cry and kill Dong Zhuo?
Wang Yun was furious, saying that Cao Cao's ancestors were also ministers of the Han Dynasty, and now they did not want to serve the country, how could they laugh instead, Cao Cao explained that he did not laugh at anything else, but just laughed that everyone could not think of a way to kill Dong Zhuo, but he had a plan, he could get rid of Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao confidently told everyone that these days, he had been working under Dong Zhuo in order to have a chance to get rid of him, and now dong Zhuo had trusted him very much, and he had many opportunities to get close to Dong Zhuo.
Cao Cao heard that Wang Yun had a Seven-Star Sword and asked Wang Yun to lend it to him temporarily, he took the opportunity to get rid of Dong Zhuo in the name of offering the sword, although he died without regrets, Wang Yun and the ministers saw that Cao Cao was so loyal, they all turned from sorrow to joy, and then Wang Yun immediately handed the sword to Cao Cao.
The next day, Cao Cao wore a sword to see Dong Zhuo, deliberately late, and when Cao Cao came to xiangfu, Dong Zhuo was sitting on the bed, and Lü Bu was standing next to him.
Lü Bu was young and brave, superior in force, and was Dong Zhuo's subordinate, Dong Zhuo trusted Lü Bu very much, and accepted Lü Bu as a righteous son, Dong Zhuo understood that he had too many enemies, and often suspected that someone was plotting against him, so he let Lü Bu be his personal bodyguard.
When Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao, he asked why he was late, and Cao Cao hurriedly explained that his horse was too thin and running too slowly, and dong Zhuo, in order to win Cao Cao over, asked Lü Bu to go to his own herd of horses, pick a good horse, and give it to Cao Cao.
Lü Bu led the order to go out, Dong Zhuo because he was too fat to sit for too long, so he fell on the bed, and it was lying face inward, Cao Cao was overjoyed, thinking that the opportunity had come, Dong Zhuo was destined to die.
Cao Cao hurriedly reached out and pulled out his sword and prepared to stab, but he did not expect that dong Zhuo had a bronze mirror in front of him, Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao drawing his sword from the mirror, sat up at once, and asked Cao Cao what he wanted to do, at this time Lü Bu had already led his horse to the door, and Cao Cao felt that the assassination at this moment would never succeed.
Cao Cao saw that he had lost the opportunity, a thousand jun shot the opportunity, did not retreat, but advanced, hurriedly fell to his knees, said that he had a sword, specially dedicated to the adult, Dong Zhuo saw Cao Cao's face without fear, it was not like he was going to kill himself, he no longer doubted, took a look at the sword, only to see that the knife was a foot long, embedded with seven gems, the blade was extremely sharp, and it was indeed a sword.
Dong Zhuo casually handed the knife to Lü Bu, and then personally took Cao Cao out to see the horse, Cao Cao was afraid of being recognized by Dong Zhuo, and he was eager to leave here immediately, so he told Dong Zhuo that he wanted to go out and try it out, and Dong Zhuo immediately agreed.
Cao Cao flew onto his horse, kicked the horse hard, and immediately ran up, flew out of Dong ZhuoXiang Mansion, galloped out of the east gate of the city wall, and Cao Cao fled for his life.
Cao Cao can judge the situation in an instant, decisively terminate the action, adapt to changes, advance if not retreating, and come up with countermeasures.
Although Dong Zhuo was suspicious, he was not sure, which gave Cao Cao the opportunity to escape, so Cao Cao rode out of the city on the pretext of testing horses.
This time Lü Bu was transferred, only because the time was too short, although the assassination of Dong Zhuo was not successful, it could be seen that Cao Cao was an extraordinary person.
Cao Cao was bold, no wonder he was a famous tyrant during the Three Kingdoms period, who single-handedly unified the northern region and created the Cao Wei regime.
