In March of the first year of Chuping (190 AD), Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and coerced Emperor Xian of Han to move the capital to Chang'an.
With the "Jiangdong Tiger" Sun Jian winning successive battles on the Henan battlefield, Dong Zhuo's sphere of influence was forced to retract back to the Guanzhong and Hedong lines.
Dong Zhuo was not willing to fail at first, but then he wanted to open:
The princes of the Kanto region ceded their lands one after another and claimed to be kings and hegemons.
Since I can't beat you head-on, then I will pinch the emperor, stick to the basic plate of Guanzhong + and Liang Erzhou, and watch you dog eat dog.
So he did 3 things:
1. Arrange two lines of defense.
The first way: assign absolute cronies (son-in-law Niu Fu, Dong Yue, Duan Yue and others) to lead heavy troops to garrison Huayin, Anyi and other places to prevent Sun Jian and others from attacking;
The second way: in Chenxian County, 250 li west of Chang'an City, build an armed fortress like a copper wall and an iron wall, and the grain and grass armament alone will be enough for the army for 30 years, in case the first line of defense is broken by the Kwantung princes.
2. Appoint yourself as a taishi in the name of the emperor and step up the centralization of power. At the same time, all his younger brothers and nephews were inserted into the Praetorian Guard system to strengthen their control over the inside and outside of Chang'an City.
3. Murder and power.
This trick was made for the ministers who mixed food in Chang'an City, so that they would not eat what was in the bowl and look at the pot.
After wielding these three axes, Dong Zhuo began to enjoy and indulge in lust.
Unexpectedly, a pair of eyes were staring at him in the secret, ready to unload him at any time.
The Book of the Later Han Dong Zhuoli contains:
"Count and hundreds of officials to wine banquets, lustful pleasures. It was fortified in the east of Chang'an City to consider itself. He also built a dock in Chen, tall and thick, known as "Long Live Dock". Thirty years of reserves. Ziyun: "Success is achieved by the world; If you can't do it, it's enough to keep it. ”
After tasting the Xingwu, Gongqing had already gone down to the ancestral road outside the Hengmen. Zhuo Shi set up a tent to drink, lured hundreds of opponents from the Northland, and killed them while sitting. First cut off his tongue, then cut off his hands and feet, then chisel his eyes, and boil it with a wok. Before he could die, he turned the cup between the cases. The congregators trembled and lost their daggers, while Zhuo ate freely. When words fall, they will die. He also slightly cursed the old clan and fell into rebellion. ”
02
This person is Wang Yun.
Wang Yun, a character master, was born in the Taiyuan Wang clan
In the sixth year of Zhongping (189 AD), after Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he urgently needed to win over various famous men at home and abroad to endorse his grass team.
Most of the family families ran out of Chang'an City and set up their own portals outside.
Wang Yun, however, moved closer to Dong Zhuo with a clear banner.
Dong Zhuo naturally had no reason not to accept it.
In this way, Wang Yun was like riding on a light-speed spaceship: he became Situ among the three princes, and the nominal second-in-command of the foreign dynasty.
As the old saying goes, when things go wrong, there will be demons.
Wang Yun "called Dong Zhuo a brother and a brother" on the surface, and secretly joined forces with Shangshu Zhengtai, Yang Zhan, the servant Sun Rui, the commander of the division, Huang Wan, and others, and conspired to organize a group to remove Dong.
But these people alone couldn't get close to Dong Zhuo's body at all.
Because there are not too many people who want to kill Dong Zhuo.
Before Wang Yun, Dong Zhuo had already experienced several assassinations.
The most thrilling is the Yue Cavalry Captain Wu Fu.
Wu Fu also pretended to flatter Dong Zhuo and gained his trust.
Once the two were talking and laughing, Wu Fu suddenly drew his dagger...
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo wore soft armor as underwear every day, so he did not hurt the point.
Since then, wherever Dong Zhuo went, he asked his godson Lü Bu to follow him with a large group of bodyguards.
Don't dare to get too close to others anymore.
What to do?
Just when Wang Yun was meditating hard day and night, and his beard was almost white, the "breakthrough" himself sent to the door.
It's no one else, it's Lv Bu!
Seeing Lü Bu's sad look, Wang Yun knew that something was wrong with Lü Bu.
Quickly invited him into the back room...
03
Lü Bu was a native of Wuyuan County, and Wang Yun was a native of Taiyuan County.
In terms of large regions, the two are the party of the Union Prefecture and Township.
Lü Bu is Dong Zhuo's security captain; Wang Yun was Dong Zhuo's grand housekeeper.
In addition, Wang Yun usually had a deep affair with Lü Bu, and over time, Lü Bu regarded Wang Yun as his own.
After work, I often drank and drank with Wang Yun or something.
With no one around, Lü Bu voiced his troubles:
"I don't know what angered the Imperial Master a few days ago, he actually took the halberd in his hand and tried to kill me..."
Wang Yun listened and did not interject, he knew that Lu Bu must still have a real big secret.
Sure enough, Lv Bu continued: "There is a maid in his family who looks very good, and that maid is very interesting to me..... We're getting better... Dong Zhuo may know..."
Wang Yun has always been good at figuring out the psychology of others, and immediately encouraged Lv Bu: "If you want not to die in the hands of Dong Zhuo, you must first make a strong move!" ”
"But I'm his son, if I do this, what will others think of me?"
Wang Yunmei smiled: "Your surname is Lu, his surname is Dong, and he is not biological." When he tried to poke you to death with a halberd, did he think that you were his son?! ”
......
"Three Kingdoms Zhi Lü Bu Zhang Qiao Zang Hong Biography" contains:
Cloth bowed horse, strong man, trumpet as a flying general. Slightly moved to Zhonglang General, the marquis of Feng Du Ting. Zhuo thinks that he is rude when encountering others, fears others to seek his own interests, and often acts to spread himself. However, Zhuo Zhuo was rigid and stubborn, did not think about difficulties, tasted small frustrations, and pulled out his halberd and threw cloth. Bu Fist avoided it, for the sake of Zhuo Gu Xie, Zhuo Yi also understood. By is a grudge. Zhuo often made Bu Shou Zhonghe, and Bu fornicated with Zhuo's maidservants, fearing that something would happen, and his heart was uneasy.
First, Situ Wang allowed him to be strong and generous in Buzhou. After Bu Yiyun, Chen Zhuo saw the killing several times. Shi Yun conspired with his servant Sun Rui to accuse Zhuo, and responded with the messenger. Bu Yu: "Nai Ru father and son He!" Yun Yu: "Jun's surname is Lv, and he is not flesh and bones." What is a father and son who are worried and dying today? ”
PS：
In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Luo Guanzhong arranged the role of mink cicada.
But in the main history, Dong Zhuo's maid did not leave a name.
Sable cicada was originally the official name of a female official in a large family.
It's not a person's name.
The first to write about the mink cicada as a character was the Yuan Dynasty novel "Three Kingdoms Zhiping".
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is mostly born out of this storybook.
It's just that the book "Three Kingdoms Zhiping" has been dispersed at present, and there is no way to know how he originally wrote it.

Wang Yun got Lü Bu, and the best internal response and sharpest weapons of the Dong group were in place.
In the blink of an eye, it was the third year of Chuping (192).
Except for Dong Plan's plan, there is only the last rush in front of the door.
In April of that year, Emperor Liu Xie of Han recovered from illness.
As a rule, the hundred officials are to visit.
Wang Yun's opportunity to kill Dong Zhuo came——
Dong Zhuo's guards are still very tight, which can be described as foolproof.
Except for one omission: the stall that was about to enter the palace gate.
This place of the palace gate cave is the intersection of the authority of the fifth school of the Northern Army and the guard lieutenant, and it is usually the place where Dong Zhuo relaxes his guard.
And Wang Yun's chosen ambush point was in the small gate hole of Beiyemen (a side gate north of Weiyang Palace).
Just when Lü Bu, Li Su, the riding lieutenant Li Su, and a dozen of his cronies (dressed in guard costumes) were ambushing and waiting for Zhuo, an accident happened.
When Dong Zhuo arrived at the palace gate, his horse refused to go forward no matter what.
Dong Zhuo was shocked and planned to return the same way.
But how could Lü Bu let him go back?
After saying two things, he put Dong Zhuoyu into the ghost gate.
Dong Zhuo was blocked in the door by the dead man.
Lü Bu took out the edict prepared in advance: "Fengzhao, kill the national thief Dong Zhuo!" ”
Lü Bu kills Dong Zhuo
A spear stabbed Dong Zhuo to death.
The Book of the Later Han Dong Zhuoli contains:
Wang Yunnai and Shisun Rui secretly expressed their affairs, so that Rui Zishu issued an edict to Bu, and ordered Li Su, the commander of the riding capital, and more than ten warriors with Bu to wait for Zhuo in the Beiye Gate under the guise of guards.
Zhuo is coming, the horse is shocked, and the strange fear is returned. Lü Bu persuaded him to enter, and then entered.
Su stabbed with a halberd, Zhuo Zhijia could not enter, injured his arm, and Gu shouted: "Where is Lü Bu?" "There are edicts against thieves." Zhuo Da cursed: "Quackine dogs dare to be evil!" "Bu Yingsheng stabbed Zhuo with a spear, and the funny soldiers slashed him.
Due to Dong Zhuo's previous deployment, his elite soldiers and strong generals were basically in the field.
Therefore, Lü Bu only held an edict that "only condemns evil, and the rest do not ask", and the five schools of the Northern Army and the generals of the forbidden army all laid down their weapons and swore allegiance.
When the people of Chang'an heard that Dong Zhuo had died, they took to the streets to celebrate all night.
Most of these people moved west from Luoyang.
Originally, Dong Zhuo set fire to their home, and now they set Dong Zhuo on fire.
The entire Dong clan was annihilated, and after the body was cremated, the bones were directly crushed.
05
Killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun was undoubtedly the greatest hero, "recording Shang Shu affairs" and taking charge of the imperial government.
But after killing Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun's double business seems to have dropped very much:
Although Dong Zhuo is dead, the hundreds of thousands of Liangzhou people under him are still there!
According to Lü Bu's meaning, he wanted to take advantage of the defenselessness of the Western Liang army to arrest all the leaders and cut them clean.
However, Wang Yun believes that Dong Zhuo is dead, and these people have not yet had the intention of rebelling, so they cannot arrest them all, otherwise they will cause a big mess.
Originally, this idea was also good, so Lü Bu suggested that all the gold and silver treasures in Dong Zhuo's mansion be taken out to reward the general of the Western Liang Army, and give them an edict, once again stating that Dong Zhuo's evil deeds had nothing to do with the Western Liang Army.
In this way, the Western Liang Army can also be pacified by the bloodless blade of the soldiers.
Who knew that Wang Yun disagreed: "The people of Liangzhou are not guilty, you prefer to let the imperial court issue an edict of exoneration, this is not taking off your pants and farting carefully - is this a move?" ”
In fact, Wang Yun did not know that since Dong Zhuo's death, everyone in the Western Liang army was in danger.
Li Wei, Guo Xiao and others fidgeted all day, worried that the butcher's knife of the imperial court would fall on their heads at any time.
Sure enough, an explosive rumor spread among the soldiers of Liangzhou: "The imperial court has always refused to give us an opinion on how to deal with us, so it can be seen that they still want to kill all of us." ”
Li Wei and Guo Xiao heard the news and analyzed it with their simple thinking: The largest army leader in Chang'an City is now Lü Bu, and Lü Bu is leading the Union State soldiers, and there has long been a contradiction with us Liangzhou people (the last time I fought with Sun Jian, it was this kid who secretly made it bad, which made Hu Yi almost wipe out the whole army) He is now developed, can he have our good fruit to eat?
The more they thought about it, the more afraid they became, so they planned to pack up and escape overnight.
Unexpectedly, at this time, a small strategist under the account stood up.
06
This person is a native of Wuwei, Liangzhou, and his name is Jia Xu.
Jia Xu
Modern people have given Jia Xu a title, called "the first poisoner of the Three Kingdoms".
Where exactly is he "poisoned"?
It was his words that made the Eastern Han court completely doomed and could no longer get up...
