Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 90 The Conspiracy in Chang'an City

After Dong Zhuo was promoted to Xiangguo, it can be said that he was under one person and above ten thousand people.In court, Dong Zhuo took advantage of his privileges to re-promote and appoint a large number of party members, such as Minister Zhou Bi, Minister Wu Qiong, Minister Zheng Gongye, Chang Shi He Yong, Sikong Wu and so on.Not only that, as long as they are members of the party who are related to the above personnel, Dong Zhuo will promote them as Lieqing.

Dong Zhuo sent someone to Youzhou to ask Liu Yu to return to Beijing to serve as the chief minister. The emperor Liu Xie was already 12 years old and had his own ideas. His son, Liu He, who is currently serving as a servant in the court, went, and Dong Zhuo readily agreed.However, Liu He didn't go directly to Youzhou, but went to Nanyang to meet Yuan Shu, so let's not mention it for now.

Wang Yun has become a Situ. Ever since Cao Cao failed to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he has been worried that things will be exposed. Whenever he sees Lu Bu carrying the Seven Star Sword, Wang Yun's heart is tugged.When Yuan Shao and other feudal lords rose up, Wang Yun secretly prepared to respond in Luoyang City. Unexpectedly, the feudal lords took the time to advance and Dong Zhuo suddenly moved his capital to Chang'an.Seeing that there was no hope of eradicating Dong Zhuo by relying on local forces, he put his mind on assassinating Dong Zhuo.

Wang Yun was worried that it would be difficult to do it alone, so he carefully connected with others, and successively discussed with Huang Wan, Shangshu Zheng Gongye, Sun Rui, a Jinwu scholar, and others about the matter of killing Dong Zhuo.When he was in a secret business, Shi Sunrui reminded Wang Yun that if he wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he had to rely on the right time, place and people, with thorough planning, proper selection, and not to act hastily.

Wang Yun agreed with Shi Sun Rui's opinion, but Dong Zhuo is usually heavily guarded, and he himself is very powerful, if careful measures are not taken, it may not be easy to win.After much deliberation, Wang Yun did not think of a suitable candidate.

Wu Fu, captain of the Yueqi school, said: "Why is this so? How can things be done if you always look forward and backward? Now the old thief Dong Zhuo is very wooing to us, and he often shows his closeness, so he can get close to him. It's easy, but there is still a chance when I go to court, so I will use the time to assassinate him." Wang Yun thinks it is inappropriate, it is too risky, and if he fails, he will be implicated.

Wu Fu said: "Brother Zi, don't worry, if it fails, I will bear it alone, and no one will be implicated." Everyone couldn't persuade Wu Fu and had to give up.Someone persuaded Wu Fu to send his family out of Chang'an, but Wu Fu firmly disagreed.

From then on, Wu Fu no longer met with them in private, but was very close to Dong Zhuo, and often talked together during the upper and lower courts. Dong Zhuo thought that he had achieved good results due to the correct handling of the relationship with the ministers of the court and China, so he had no doubts.

One day when he went to court, Wu Fu was wearing a small armor, holding a saber in his court uniform, and mingled with the ministers outside the palace gate, waiting for Dong Zhuo.Dong Zhuo's carriage approached, and Lu Bu sent his halberd to the gate of the palace. Dong Zhuo was about to enter the palace under the protection of several guards, but Wu Fu quickly caught up from behind, "Xiangguo, walk slowly."

Dong Zhuo turned his head and saw that it was Wu Fu, thinking that Wu Fu had something to say to him, he stopped and asked the guards to get out of the way, and when Wu Fu approached, he gently patted Wu Fu's back with his hand, showing an extremely friendly look. "It turned out to be Deyu, what's the matter?" Wu Fu saw the opportunity, blocked the guards with his body, and suddenly drew out his saber to stab Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo took a step back in shock. Although Dong Zhuo was already very fat, who was it? The generals who fought on the battlefield are still alert.Wu Fu was eager to kill, he used too much force, and missed the stab.Dong Zhuo hurriedly pushed Wu Fu away with all his might, and called out to the guards.It was too late for Wu Fu to make a second cut, and all the guards stepped forward and chopped him badly, knocking Wu Fu to the ground.

Dong Zhuo scolded: "You thief has evil intentions, I treat you like this, how dare you murder me."

Wu Fu retorted: "Old thief Dong Zhuo, the late emperor treated you kindly, but he didn't feel grateful. Killing the king is in vain, and the wolf's ambition will harm the country and the people!"

Dong Zhuo said coldly: "You tell me who you are conspiring with, and I will spare you from death, or else your three clans will be destroyed."

Wu Fu laughed loudly: "You are acting against the law, the sky is angry and the people are complaining, and everyone in the world is my accomplice. I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood. Since I came to kill you, I have no intention of living. You don't have to be proud, you will die sooner than me." I'm worse."

Dong Zhuo was furious. He drew out his sword and stabbed Wu Fu to death. Instead of going to court, he went out of the palace angrily, ordered Wu Fu's family to be executed, and hung Wu Fu's body outside the palace gate to warn the ministers that this dirty The job fell on Lu Bu again.Then Li Ru was ordered to investigate thoroughly whether there were any accomplices, so the palace gate guards were purged and replaced with Dong Zhuo's men.

From then on, whenever Dong Zhuo went, Lu Bu would be guarded by his side holding a painting halberd, and he himself would not go to the court easily. Go to Mei Wu for instructions.

The failure of this assassination once again dealt a great blow to Wang Yun. Although Wu Fu took it all by himself and did not implicate others, it made Dong Zhuo raise his vigilance against the ministers of the court, strengthened his guards, and became more tyrannical, which violated him a little. Will kills.But Wang Yun still felt that there was still hope for assassinating Dong Zhuo, because he found a most suitable candidate, that is, Lu Bu was more and more suitable for this job.

Wang Yun felt that Lv Bu was the closest to Dong Zhuo and was almost on the right side, so he had the conditions to assassinate Dong Zhuo.After careful consideration, Wang Yun believed that Lu Bu could not be said to have no motive at all: first of all, Lu Bu must feel uncomfortable when he was squeezed out by Dong Zhuo's subordinates, and there would be cracks in the relationship; In addition, Dong Zhuo seemed to be close to Lv Bu, but in fact it was his old troops who were rewarded, and Lv Bu was not reused, so Lv Bu must have felt unbalanced.Combining various factors, as long as he lures Lu Bu well, it is still possible to win him over.

If Wang Yun could negotiate with Zhou Cang, Zhou Cang would definitely applaud Wang Yun's analysis. He really understands Lu Bu. Zhou Cang always thinks that Lu Bu is different from Dian Wei. Dian Wei has no ambitions. As long as he treats him sincerely, Dian Wei Wei would ask for nothing in return.Dian Wei is also very brave, but Dian Wei doesn't like to lead troops. Dian Wei prefers to fight the opponent one-on-one with a pair of iron halberds.

After some calculations, Wang Yun secretly arranged for his subordinates to do everything possible to collect Lu Bu's information, biography and developments.
