Since Dong Zhuo forced Liu Xie to move the capital to Chang'an, he was now on his own territory, so he became even more unscrupulous.
However, Dong Zhuo also knew that he had done too many evil things and had been assassinated many times. The most dangerous one was by Wu Fu, the captain of the Yue Cavalry School.
In the second year of Chuping (191), Wu Fu hid a sword in his clothes and went to see Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was unprepared and suddenly drew his sword to attack. Unfortunately, Dong Zhuo was wearing soft gold armor under his clothes and the sword did not penetrate.
Dong Zhuo was a martial artist and had some skills, so he knocked Wu Fu down.
From this time onwards, Dong Zhuo was inseparable and took many loyal guards with him wherever he went.
Later, he stopped going to court at all, and only allowed civil and military officials to come to his mansion or the villa built outside the city to report on their work. It was as if the court had been moved back to his home.
But this time Dong Zhuo dressed in court uniform and drove to Weiyang Palace in high spirits.
For no other reason, he had already received news from Wang Yun that Han Xian Emperor Liu Xie had just recovered from a serious illness and had no intention of becoming emperor again, so he wanted to hold a court meeting in Weiyang Palace.
During this period, we must tell the world that we will abdicate the throne to Dong Zhuo!
However, Dong Zhuo prides himself on being a man of status, so naturally he cannot attend on time. He has to wait until all civil and military officials have arrived, and let Liu Xie and others wait for his arrival!
He counted the time and got into the car, escorted by Lu Bu, Li Su and a group of infantry and a group of cavalry, he went to Weiyang Palace.
When he arrived at the palace gate, Dong Zhuo moved his fat body out of the car and saw that the palace gate was wide open. Civil and military officials were already lined up on both sides. On the steps, the young emperor Liu Xie was sitting on the dragon chair, waiting for his arrival.
Dong Zhuo was so proud that he deliberately adjusted his clothes, and then he entered the palace gate with his stomach full, surrounded by Lu Bu, Li Su and two other close guards.
Along the way, civil and military officials on both sides bowed their heads to greet Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo agreed repeatedly, and all his attention was focused on the edict held by Wang Yun standing next to Liu Xie!
Since he was recruited into Luoyang by General He Jin in the sixth year of Zhongping (189), in just three years, he has transformed from the governor of Bingzhou, the governor of Hedong, general Zhonglang, and general Polu to a young emperor who can control people!
Now he is only one step away from the throne he longs for!
Just before the last step, Wang Yun suddenly picked up the edict and read aloud:
"Listen to the order! The national thief Dong Zhuo has desecrated the imperial court and brought trouble to the world! Recruit loyal and brave men to kill Dong Zhuo!"
Before he finished speaking, a group of Jinwu holding sharp swords rushed out from both sides of the hall, shouting and killing.
Dong Zhuo was startled. He suddenly heard a strong wind behind him. Dong Zhuo reacted quickly and lunged forward, narrowly avoiding Li Su's stab from behind.
The other two guards did not expect such a sudden change, and without thinking too much, they drew their swords and pounced on Li Su.
Dong Zhuo was so frightened that he shouted: "My son Fengxian! Come and save me!"
Lu Bu was so angry!
He originally wanted to show off in front of all the civil and military officials, denounce Dong Zhuo's guilt, and then stab Dong Zhuo to death with a halberd.
Who would have thought that Li Su, a bitch like him, would be the first to take the credit!
This adoptive father must be stabbed by himself!
Because he didn't care about the fight between Li Su and the two guards, he shouted "Kill the thief according to the order, Dong Zhuo will die", and stabbed Dong Zhuo's thigh with Fang Tian's painted halberd.
Dong Zhuo screamed in fright and dodged the blow by turning over with a dexterity that was completely inconsistent with his fat body.
Then he knelt down on the ground and crawled forward using his hands and feet, shouting: "What a dog! How dare you do this...ah!"
It turned out that before he could finish shouting, Lu Bu sent Fang Tian's painted halberd in his hand and stabbed it into Dong Zhuo's valley with a thud.
However, Fang Tian's painted halberd had a small branch, so he only thrust the tip of the halberd in and stopped moving.
Lu Bu shouted loudly and used his arms to raise the Fang Tian Painted Halberd in his hand!
The curved halberd shaft fully proves Dong Zhuo's weight.
Dong Zhuo was so painful that he clawed his hands and kicked his feet and screamed, like a huge toad stuck on a branch.
Everyone was shocked!
Everyone has heard that Lu Bu is born with supernatural powers, and it turned out to be really powerful when he saw it today!
Moreover, this super thousand-year-old killing move is too eye-catching and cruel!
There is no blood groove on the tip of Fang Tian's painted halberd, so although Dong Zhuo Gudao was stabbed through, there was no bleeding scene. There was only a wisp of blood flowing down and wetting the red tassel on the halberd head.
Seeing that Dong Zhuo had suffered such a serious crime, the two guards no longer bothered to entangle with Li Su. They shouted and rushed towards Lu Bu, hoping to save Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu didn't panic. He raised his long leg and whipped the guard in front of him on the side of his head.
The guard fell to the ground and fell into a baby-like sleep without even making a sound.
Then Lu Bu turned around brilliantly, kicked out his hind legs, hit the second man in the lower abdomen, and kicked him more than a foot away.
The guard struggled to get up, but Li Su had already pounced on him and chopped off his head.
Lu Bu didn't look any further, and walked up the steps carrying Dong Zhuo with his big halberd on his shoulder.
"Your Majesty, Lu Bu has honored his mission and has captured old man Dong Zhuo here. Please forgive him!"
The little emperor Liu Xie was so frightened that he sat on the dragon throne for a long time without moving.
At this moment, when he heard Lu Bu ask him, he realized what he was doing. He burst into tears and ran back on his hands and knees.
Anyone with sharp eyes could see clearly that Liu Xie's dragon robe and dragon chair were all wet, obviously he had peed. Wang Yun hurriedly said: "Lu...General Lu! The old traitor Dong Zhuo is dead and deserved. There is no need to send him over for your Majesty's interrogation. Just kill him..."
Lu Bu agreed and threw Dong Zhuo down the steps heavily.
Dong Zhuo groaned when he was thrown, pointed at Lu Bu and cursed: "Lu Bu! You are a cunning and repetitive villain! I have treated you with kindness like a mountain, but you actually... actually repaid kindness with hatred!"
Didn't Lu Bu come as soon as he saw this opportunity?
In front of all the courtiers, he laughed ferociously and said, "Dong Zhuo! Do you really think that I am surrendering to you?
When I offered Governor Ding's head to seek refuge with you, it was just a plan devised by Governor Ding and me, just to kill you, a traitor to the country, today!
Now that great things are about to come true, Governor Ding can rest in peace now that he knows what he is doing! "
Dong Zhuo said again: "My son first! You...you let me go and kill all these people. In the future, I will be the emperor, and you will be the general!"
I will give up the throne to you after I die... No, no, no, please let me go, and I will make you the emperor tomorrow! "
Lu Bu sneered: "Old thief! How dare you say such treasonous words when you are about to die! I, Lu Bu, and you and other treacherous officials and traitors are sworn in! Suffer death!"
Seeing that the scene was over, Lu Bu stepped forward and put his foot on his back. He grabbed Dong Zhuo's hair with his left hand and pulled out the seven-star sword from his waist with his right hand. He killed Dong Zhuo in just a few moves as if he were killing a chicken, amidst Dong Zhuo's wails. A big fat head was cut off, and he held it bloody in his hand.
Wang Yun and others were so frightened that they took two steps back.
Although others hated Dong Zhuo for his cruelty, they couldn't help but feel shocked when they saw such a bloody killing scene.
I don’t know who said it first: "It turns out that everything Lu Fengxian did was to kill the wise thief! We all wrongly blamed him!"
"Exactly! In ancient times, there was a king of Yue who was brave enough to sleep on his firewood. Nowadays, Lu Bu is willing to accept a thief as his father in order to achieve great things. I admire him, I admire him!"
Others also reacted and agreed.
Liu Xie also said in a trembling voice: "Lu Qing is really a wise minister of my great Han Dynasty..."
Lu Bu smashed the blood on the blade and raised it in his hand, saying, "Your Majesty! Lord Situ, the old traitor Dong Zhuo has been killed. I'm going to kill the other accomplices and minions who helped the tyranny!"
After saying that, he pulled out Fang Tian's painted halberd and rubbed it randomly on Dong Zhuo's body. Holding the halberd in one hand and Dong Zhuo's head in the other, he strode down the steps and walked out of the palace gate, got on his horse and went to Dong Zhuo's Taishi Mansion.
Only then did the civil and military ministers react and shouted long live. Some cried bitterly and lamented that the national traitor had finally been killed. Some had the courage to kick Dong Zhuo's corpse a few times.
Wang Yun had Dong Zhuo's body hung on the street for public display.
The people of Chang'an had been suffering from Dong Zhuo for a long time. Now that they saw Dong Zhuo's death, they all attacked him with fists and kicks. In a short time, Dong Zhuo's body was mutilated beyond recognition.
"Fellow folks! Do you know how Dong Zhuo died?" A soldier looking at the corpse suddenly asked loudly.
This topic immediately aroused the interest of the people.
A middle-aged man said: "I heard that it was Lu Bu and Lu Feng who killed Dong Zhuo first?"
Before he finished speaking, someone sneered: "How is that possible? Don't you know that Lu Bu is Dong Zhuo's loyal dog? He has done many bad things for Dong Zhuo?"
The soldier scolded: "Don't talk nonsense! This time the head of the old thief Dong Zhuo was killed by General Lu!"
In order to assassinate Dong Zhuo, General Lu was willing to live under his disciples for three years and endure humiliation before he got this opportunity to kill the old thief..."
