〃I will kill the wretch; I swear it! In no other way can I wash away my shame。〃

〃No; no! Do not say such a thing;〃 said Wang Yun; putting his hand over the others mouth。 〃You will bring trouble on poor me and my family。〃

〃When one is born great; one cannot be patient for long under another persons domination;〃 said Lu Bu。

〃It needs someone greater than the Prime Minister to limit the scope of such talents as yours。〃

Lu Bu said; 〃I would not mind killing the old wretch were it not for the relation in which we stand。 I fear to provoke the hostile criticism of posterity。〃

Wang Yun shook his head; saying; 〃Your name is Lu Bu; his is Dong Zhuo。 Where was the paternal feeling when he threw the halberd at you?〃

〃I had been misled if you had not said that;〃 said Lu Bu hotly。

Wang Yun saw the effect of his words and continued; 〃It would be a loyal deed to restore the House of Han; and history would hand down your name to posterity perpetually fragrant。 If you lend your aid to Dong Zhuo; you will be a traitor and your name will be tainted through all ages。〃

Lu Bu rose from his place and bowed to Wang Yun。

〃I have decided;〃 said he。 〃You need not fear; Sir。〃

〃But yet you may fail and bring upon yourself misfortune;〃 said Wang Yun。

Lu Bu drew his dagger; pricking his arm; and swearing by the blood that flowed。

Wang Yun fell on his knees and thanked him。

〃Then the Han sacrifices will not be cut off; and you will be their savior。 But this must remain a secret; and I will tell you how the plot shall be worked out。〃

Lu Bu took leave with great emotion。

Wang Yun took into his confidence two colleagues; Minister Shisun Rui and Imperial mander Huang Wan。

Shisun Rui said; 〃The moment is favorable。 The Emperor has just recovered from his illness; and we can dispatch an able talker to Meiwo to persuade Dong Zhuo to e here to discuss affairs。 Meanwhile we will obtain a secret decree as authority for Lu Bu to lay an ambush just inside the Palace gates to kill Dong Zhuo as he enters。 This is the best plan to adopt。〃

〃But who would dare to go?〃 said Huang Wan。

〃Li Su; General of the Imperial Tiger Army; would go。 He belongs to the same region as Lu Bu and is very angry with the Prime Minister for not advancing him。 His going would assure us the plan would be pleted。〃

〃Good;〃 said Wang Yun。 〃Let us see what Lu Bu thinks of it。〃

When Lu Bu was consulted; he told them that this Li Sus persuasion had led him to kill Ding Yuan; his former benefactor。

〃If Li Su refuses this mission; I will kill him;〃 said Lu Bu。

So they sent for Li Su。

When Li Su arrived; Lu Bu said; 〃Formerly you talked me into killing Ding Yuan and going over to Dong Zhuo。 Now we find Dong Zhuo means evil for the Emperor and is an oppressor of the people。 His iniquities are many; and he is hated by gods and humans。 You go to Meiwo; say you have a mand from the Emperor to summon the Prime Minister to the Palace。 He will e; and he will be put to death。 You will have the credit of being loyal and restoring the Hans。 Will you undertake this?〃

〃I also wish to slay him;〃 was the reply。 〃But I could not find anyone to assist me。 How can I hesitate? Your intervention is directly from Heaven。〃

And Li Su snapped an arrow in twain as register of his oath。

〃If this succeeds; what glorious rank will be yours!〃 said Wang Yun。

Next day Li Su; with a small escort; set out for Meiwo and announced himself as bearer of a decree。 He was conducted into Dong Zhuos presence。 After he had made his obeisance; Dong Zhuo asked what the decree was。

〃His Majesty has recovered and wishes his ministers to meet him in the Palace to consider the question of his abdication in your favor。 That is what this summons means。〃

〃What does Wang Yun think of the scheme?〃

〃Wang Yun has already begun the construction of the Terrace of Abdication and only awaits my lords arrival。〃

〃Last night I dreamed a dragon coiled round my body;〃 said Dong Zhuo greatly pleased; 〃and now I get this happy tidings! I must not neglect the opportunity。〃

So Dong Zhuo gave instructions to his four trusted generals for the safekeeping of his city。 Li Jue; Guo Si; Fan Chou; and Zhang Ji were to guard Meiwo with three thousand troops of the Flying Bear Army。 Then Dong Zhuo announced his intention of starting on the morrow。
