After Zhuo's death, Lü Bu sent Li Su to Shaanxi, intending to be assisted by an edict. Auxiliary rebellion and purge war, purge defeat and take Hongnong, Cloth SuSu - "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
As we all know, on the battlefield, victory and defeat are common to soldiers, and there is no general who always wins. Especially from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Three Kingdoms period, those who were as strong as Cao Cao also suffered from the unbearable experience of being forced by Ma Chao to cut off their beards and abandon their robes; and the famous emperor Liu Bei was once defeated in battle, and could only send people to the fence to survive. Of course, there are also military masters such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi, who are also unable to maintain their golden bodies.
However, Li Su was sentenced to death by Lü Bu simply because he had lost a battle and was defeated by the invincible Liangzhou Iron Horse at that time. Lü Bu's behavior is obviously not in line with normal logic, what kind of hidden feelings are behind this?
To understand this problem, we must first confirm whether Lü Bu, who is known as a "flying general", has a hobby of killing his subordinates because of his poor performance.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="36" > Does Lü Bu have a penchant for killing his subordinates? </h1>
Lü Bu is famous for his bravery and martial arts, known as "Lü Bu among people, red rabbit among horses". In addition to yongwu, Lü Bu has another world-famous feature, that is, the boss nemesis. Lü Bu's superiors all had a common ending: unnatural death.
Lü Bu initially served as the chief bookkeeper under Shi Dingyuan in Hezhou, and later, in order to defect to Dong Zhuo, who was in the sky, he killed Ding Yuan as a letter of surrender, and joined Dong Zhuo's camp as a zhonglang general (a senior military general). In 192 (the third year of Chuping), Lü Bu abandoned the secret and surrendered to the Ming, killed the declining superior Dong Zhuo, and surrendered to Situ Wang Yun as a letter of surrender, thus being able to serve as the general of Fenwu, False Festival, Yibi Sansi, and entering the Title of Marquis of Wen. Lü Bu achieved a jump in the position by changing his boss.
However, although Lü Bu is the nemesis of his boss, he is a good boss who "treats the generals thickly". In fact, Li Su was the only general lü Bu had beheaded for reasons of his achievements. When Hao Meng (who was killed by Gao Shun when he was countering the rebellion) launched a rebellion at the instigation of Yuan Shu, Hao Meng's subordinates accused Chen Gong of being complicit, and Chen Gong was frightened and scattered, but Lü Bu downplayed this and did not hold Chen Gong responsible.
To sum up, Lü Bu's masters Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun, and other masters were well aware of the importance of having their own concubines, so he always treated his generals kindly, and even Chen Gong's participation in the rebellion was not pursued, the purpose was to make the generals fight for their lives. This is also in line with the style of Lü Bu's swordsman. Therefore, "(Li) defeated Hongnong," was not the real reason why Lü Bu killed Li Su.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="37" > Li Su: Not Lü Bu's family, why did you participate in the assassination of Dong (Zhuo)? </h1>
At that time, the Son of Heaven had a new cure for the disease, and the assembly was not in the temple. Li Su, a lieutenant of the same county, sent more than ten of his own soldiers to guard the gate under the guise of guarding the gate- "The Biography of Lü Bu of the Three Kingdoms Chronicles".
Situ Wang Yun and Lü Bu were fellow villagers of Xiangzhou, and the two had known each other for a long time, and Wang Yun had treated Lü Bu with courtesy because Lü Bu was "strong and strong in the state". Later, when the relationship between Lü Bu and Dong Zhuo cracked, he often told Wang Yun, and Wang Yun took the opportunity to persuade Lü Bu to abandon the dark and surrender to the light, and assassinated Dong Zhuo for Tianxingdao, and Lü Bu finally succeeded in assassinating Dong Zhuo.
However, Wang Yun conspired with Lü Bu to assassinate Dong Zhuo, and Li Su was a knight lieutenant under Dong Zhuo at the time, and did not belong to Lü Bu's concubine. Why did Lü Bu risk telling him about the plan to assassinate Dong Zhuo and let him directly participate in the assassination?
If we carefully study and compare the historical materials, we will find that it was not Lü Bu's own decision to let Li Su participate in the assassination of Dong Zhuo.
Wang Yunnai and Shisun Rui secretly expressed their affairs, and made Rui Zishu edict to grant cloth, so that the knight Li Su and Bu Tongxin warriors more than ten people, pretending to be guards, were served in the Beiye Gate to wait for Zhuo - "Later Han Shu Dong Zhuo Lie Biography".
From the above historical data, it can be seen that the person who made Li Su participate in the assassination of Dong Zhuo was Situ Wang Yun. In fact, Li Su was also a native of Wuyuan Prefecture, that is to say, Situ Wang Yun was not only a fellow of Lü Bu, but also a fellow of Li Su, a knight. At that time, Li Su's position under Dong Zhuo was very awkward, because in Dong Zhuo's army organization, the senior generals were Zhonglang generals (such as Niu Fu, Dong Yue, and others), and under Zhonglang generals were lieutenants (such as Li Dai, Guo Feng, and others), and the lieutenants directly led the soldiers, but obeyed the orders of Zhonglang generals. Li Su was nominally a knight lieutenant, but he was excluded from the power core of Dong Zhuo's clique and was actually an idle post.
Under these circumstances, Li Su was bound to be dissatisfied, which gave Situ Wang Yun the opportunity to plot against him. As the boss of Dong Zhuo's clique and the prefecture, Lü Bu already had Gao Shun, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue and other fierce generals under his command, and there was no need to pull Li Su to participate in the assassination of Dong Zhuo. Moreover, this is extremely risky, once the machine does not leak the news secretly, it will face the consequences of being accused of the three tribes by Dong Zhuo.
In summary, Li Su, like Lü Bu, was depressed because he could not be reused under Dong Zhuo, so he was successfully rebelled by Situ Wang Yun and joined the assassination of Dong Zhuo.
However, what does this have to do with Lü Bu's murder of Li Su?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="42" > the real reason why Lü Bu killed Li Su: Li Su deliberately leaked secrets</h1>
There are rumors from time to time: "Thousand Mile Grass, He Qingqing, Ten Days Bu, Still Not Born." "Also made Dong (Zhuo) escape song." There is also a Taoist shubu as the word "Lü" to show Zhuo, Zhuo did not know that it was Lü Buye - "Three Kingdoms Chronicles of Dong Zhuo" notes "Hero's Record"
The assassination of Dong Zhuo is highly confidential, and once it is leaked out in advance, the consequences are unimaginable: Dong Zhuo will set off a bloody storm. Because of this, only a few people in the imperial court, including Situ Wang Yun, ShiSun Rui, Yang Zhan, Lü Bu, and Li Su, knew of the existence of the assassination of Dong Zhuo.
However, the assassination operation has not yet begun, there are already folk songs about the assassination of Dong Zhuo, fortunately Dong Zhuo is too conceited, which affects his judgment, failed to understand the deep meaning of the song, Lü Bu escaped the disaster. However, this also made Lü Bu feel uneasy, who leaked the news of the assassination of Dong Zhuo?
Situ Wang Yun, Shi SunRui, Yang Zhan, and others had a feud with Dong Zhuo, and naturally it was impossible to leak secrets. And Lü Bu was even less likely to cocoon himself and take the initiative to tell the news of his participation in the assassination of Dong Zhuo, which was a crime of extermination! Therefore, the only person who could leak secrets was Li Su.
So, why didn't Li Su go directly to Dong Zhuo to inform, but instead use the form of a song to implicitly release the news?
There are two reasons why Li Su did not directly inform Dong Zhuo. The first reason is that there is no ready-made evidence; the second reason is that Dong Zhuo "loves Lü Bu very much and swears to be a father and son." At that time, if Lü Bu takes a bite back, then Li Su will be self-defeating and lose his life if he does not do well. It was with this in mind that Li Su deliberately released the news of Dong Zhuo's assassination in the form of a song, in order to test Dong Zhuo's reaction first, so as to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in muddy waters.
However, Lü Bu was not stupid, he knew that It was Li Su who was behind the scenes and wanted to put him to death. Therefore, after successfully assassinating Dong Zhuo, he sent Li Su to attack niu fu's team, the main force of the Liangzhou army, in order to find an excuse to kill Li Su. As expected, Li Su was defeated by Niu Fu, and Lü Bu used this as an excuse to behead Li Su.
To sum up, in order to achieve his personal goals, Li Su deliberately leaked out the news of the assassination of Dong Zhuo, almost causing Lü Bu to suffer the disaster of extermination. This was the real reason why Lü Bu killed Li Su.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="44" > conclusion</h1>
In order to improve the success rate of assassinating Dong Zhuo, Situ Wang Yun, in addition to plotting against his compatriot Lü Bu as an internal response, also ventured to win another fellow villager, Li Su, to join the assassination of Dong. His purpose in doing so was to let Lü Bu and Li Su form a double insurance to ensure that the assassination of Dong dong was foolproof.
However, Li Su had no idea whether the assassination of Dong could succeed, but he was hindered by Lü Bu's special relationship with Dong Zhuo and did not dare to directly report Lü Bu and Situ Wang Yun to Dong Zhuo. Therefore, he took the sword to the side and deliberately spread the news of Lü Bu's assassination of Dong Zhuo to the people in the form of a song. Li Su's move could not be described as cruel, but it was a pity that Dong Zhuo failed to understand the information in the song, so that Lü Bu, Situ Wang Yun and others escaped the disaster.
Li Su thought that his plan (little clever) was seamless, but he didn't know that in dealing with his boss, he was simply a little witch compared to Lü Bu. Lü Bu saw through Li Su's tricks at a glance, so after successfully assassinating Dong Zhuo, he immediately found an excuse to get rid of Li Su.
