In April 192, the city of Luoyang was in turmoil. The former general Dong Zhuo has usurped the power of the government, and finally revealed his greedy nature. However, at this critical moment, he was betrayed by Lu Bu, a bodyguard he had cultivated himself.
Everyone thought that Lu Bu would save Dong Zhuo as desperately as before, but they didn't expect Lu Bu to stand in front of Dong Zhuo and take out the edict and announce the slogan of begging the thief. On the spot, he flew up with a spear in his hand, and led his soldiers to surround Dong Zhuo, and finally Dong Zhuo was killed.
Why did Lu Bu betray Dong Zhuo? This question bothers many people. Once, Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu became father and son, and swore together to be with each other. Dong Zhuo knew that he had done too much evil and attracted countless enemies, but Lu Bu was highly skilled, so Dong Zhuo always had trust in him. But now, Lü Bu betrayed him and put him to death. Was it Lu Bu's loyalty to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and his rebellion against Dong Zhuo's rule, or did he become an enemy of Dong Zhuo out of his love for Diao Chan?
However, it can be seen from the records of the official history that the reason why Lü Bu betrayed Dong Zhuo was entirely due to his own personality, not out of loyalty to Emperor Han Xian or Diao Chan.
First of all, Lu Bu had already betrayed others. According to the records of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Lü Bu was the first to betray Ding Yuan. Ding Yuan was the assassin of Hanoi County at that time, and Lü Bu was famous for his reputation for being brave and good at fighting, so Ding Yuan appointed him as the chief secretary, but this official position was obviously too ordinary for Lü Bu. So, Dong Zhuo took the opportunity to lure Lu Bu to kill Ding Yuan and led his men to defect to Dong Zhuo. By Dong Zhuo's side, Lu Bu was promoted and promoted, and became the role of his right-hand man.
However, Lu Bu did not forget Dong Zhuo's evil act of throwing a halberd at him. Although he has a grudge, he remains loyal to Dong Zhuo, because Dong Zhuo does have a lot of benefits for him. Until one day, Lu Bu found that his loyalty to Dong Zhuo was not reciprocated, because Dong Zhuo was a tyrannical person, whether it was to his enemies or to those closest to him, his true nature would eventually be revealed. Once, Lu Bu accidentally angered Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to pull out his halberd and throw it at him. Fortunately, Lu Bu reacted in time and escaped this catastrophe. Although he behaved to please Dong Zhuo afterwards, the resentment towards him in his heart accumulated deeper and deeper, which also laid the groundwork for his later betrayal of Dong Zhuo.
In getting along with Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu also encountered another problem. He fell in love with Dong Zhuo's maidservant Diao Chan, which brought him more troubles and hidden dangers. Lu Bu knew Dong Zhuo's temper, and he was worried that one day this relationship would be discovered by Dong Zhuo, so he was worried about it all day long. He knew that he couldn't continue with Diao Chan, so before going to Wang Yun, he told him his distress and sought Wang Yun's help and protection. Wang Yun saw this opportunity and instigated Lu Bu to betray Dong Zhuo and become the internal response to get rid of Dong Zhuo.
Lu Bu hesitated, he remembered Dong Zhuo's benefits to him, but in the end he was persuaded by Wang Yun. He realized that he and Dong Zhuo were not really father and son, and Dong Zhuo had not considered the father-son relationship between them when he threw the halberd at him. As a result, Lu Bu decided to betray Dong Zhuo and became the key to getting rid of him.
Eventually, Lü Bu launched an assassination operation with the other Assassins on Dong Zhuo's car to the palace. Lu Bu took out the edict, announced that he was begging the thief, flew up with a spear in his hand, and led his soldiers to surround Dong Zhuo, and finally Dong Zhuo was killed.
After Lü Bu successfully betrayed Dong Zhuo, he was given the opportunity to be promoted, became the Marquis of Wen, and assumed the position of General Fenwei, and his power increased greatly.
However, this betrayal is only the beginning of the story. After Wang Yun successfully got rid of Dong Zhuo, Luoyang City fell into new turmoil. Lü Bu's betrayal drew revenge from Dong Zhuo's old army and Wang Yun's enemies, placing Lü in a dangerous situation.
In April 192 AD, Dong Zhuo was attacked by assassins on his way to the palace, and his bodyguard Lu Bu betrayed him, resulting in Dong Zhuo's final death. Lu Bu's betrayal not only revealed his personal character problems, but also exposed Dong Zhuo's shortcomings and dangers. Wang Yun successfully plotted Dong Zhuo's departure, but this was only the beginning of the story, and Lu Bu's betrayal caused more trouble and danger. All this happened during the chaotic period of Luoyang City, which left a deep impression on people.
