In the film and television drama, in order to dominate the beauty Sable Cicada, Lü Bu had the idea of getting rid of Dong Zhuo, and finally put it into action. The reason he got rid of Dong Zhuo was because of the mink cicada, so was this really the case? Experts admit that in fact, there is no mink cicada in history, she is just one of many fictional beauties. That is to say, Lü Bu would not kill Dong Zhuo for a non-existent person at all. So why did he move his hand? After going through many historical materials, several reasons were finally summarized, which can effectively explain why Lü Bu killed Dong Zhuo. Let's take a look at it together, and if there are any deficiencies, please correct them.
The first reason is that the relationship between the two is not so close, and Lü Bu is not Dong Zhuo's concubine. It should be known that Lü Bu originally served in the Army of Xiangzhou and served under Ding Yuan. Dong Zhuo made his fortune in Liangzhou, and later entered Luoyang by relying on the "Liangzhou Legion" of soldiers and horses. At that time, Dong Zhuo's troops were still very small, and in order to expand his troops, he lured Lü Bu to kill Ding Yuan, thus swallowing the opponent's men and horses. Therefore, Lü Bu's allegiance to Dong Zhuo is also out of his own interests. Obviously, following out of interest will not last long, and it is not dead-hearted. The second point is that Lü Bu's career path is not smooth, the real he is not good at leading the army, to put it bluntly, he is not a good leader. He's just brave and fit to go it alone. Dong Zhuo was very aware of this, so he only regarded him as his bodyguard and did not entrust him with an important position.
The third is that in the later period, Dong Zhuo increasingly distrusted Lü Bu because he was afraid of being assassinated. Lü Bu became his bodyguard because of his martial skills, and he was also afraid that this bodyguard would attack him. Once Lü Bu made a mistake, Dong Zhuo actually threw the pistol directly, fortunately Lü Bu dodged in time, otherwise he would die here. Then Lü Bu immediately knelt down and confessed his mistake, which escaped the disaster. It was also because of this that Lü Bu's hatred for him deepened, and he also knew that Dong Zhuo did not trust him as much as before. Coupled with Wang Yun's solicitation later, he made up his mind. Wang Yun wanted to get rid of Dong Zhuo in his heart, but he couldn't achieve it with his own efforts, and he had to find a partner, and this person was Lü Bu. Trying to win Lü Bu over was not a difficult task for Wang Yun, and Xu Yi, a high-ranking official, also untied his heart knot. Lü Bu originally couldn't bear to do it, after all, he worshiped Dong Zhuo as a dry father. However, after Wang Yun's some nod, this layer of concern disappeared.
The last reason is a prophecy that we look like a fake, but it worked very well at the time. You know, the prophecies in the streets and alleys of ancient times were far-reaching, and even the rulers reacted accordingly. At that time, Lü Bu had already made up his mind to get rid of Dong Zhuo. Everything was in a tense conspiracy, at which point a prophecy appeared. Someone with a cloth swung around in the street, and the important thing was that there was a word written on the cloth. This signal is likely to force Lü Bu to move faster, giving him a lot of pressure. Dong Zhuo also heard such rumors, but he didn't feel anything. However, Lü Bu's side was too nervous to do it, if he did it later, he would be detected by Dong Zhuo, and he had no choice but to take action.
