Suddenly　Wang　Yun　shouted；　〃The　rebel　is　here！　Where　are　the　executioners？〃

At　this　call　sprang　from　both　sides　soldiers　armed　with　halberds　and　spears　who　attacked　Dong　Zhuo。　He　had　not　put　on　the　breastplate　he　usually　wore；　and　a　spear　pierced　his　breast。

He　sank　down　in　the　carriage　calling　loudly　for　his　son；　〃Where　is　Lu　Bu？〃

〃Here；　and　with　a　decree　to　deal　with　a　rebel！〃　said　Lu　Bu；　as　he　appeared　in　front　of　his　〃father。〃

Thereupon　he　thrust　his　trident　halberd　through　the　victim's　throat。　Then　Li　Su　hacked　off　the　head　and　held　it　up。

Lu　Bu；　his　left　hand　holding　his　halberd；　thrust　his　right　hand　into　his　bosom　whence　he　drew　the　decree；　crying；　〃The　decree　was　to　slay　the　rebel　Dong　Zhuo………no　other！〃

The　whole　assembly　shouted；　〃Wan　shui！　Live　forever！　O　Emperor！〃

Heaven　never　is　partial；　but　severely　just；

Meiwo　stood　strong；　yet　now　it　lies　in　dust。

The　lust　of　blood　awakened；　Lu　Bu　urged　the　slaughter　of　Li　Ru；　who　had　been　the　confidant　of　the　murdered　Prime　Minister；　and　Li　Su　volunteered　to　go　in　search　of　him。　But　just　then　a　shouting　was　heard　at　the　gates；　and　it　was　told　them　that　a　household　servant　had　brought　Li　Ru　in　bonds。　Wang　Yun　ordered　his　immediate　execution　in　the　market　place。

Dong　Zhuo's　head　was　exposed　in　a　crowded　thoroughfare。　He　was　very　fat；　and　the　guards　made　torches　by　sticking　splints　into　the　body；　spilling　the　corpse's　grease　over　the　ground。　The　passers…by　pelted　the　head　and　spurned　the　body　with　their　feet。

Wang　Yun　ordered　a　force　of　fifty　thousand　under　Lu　Bu；　Huangfu　Song；　and　Li　Su　to　de
