Is “He killed Dong Zhuo due to Diao Chan's chain of schemes.” true?
based on fact
The Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wei, Biography of Lü Bu records that Lü Bu had an affair with Dong Zhuo's maidservant and, incited by Wang Yun, assassinated Dong Zhuo; but the character Diao Chan is a fictional invention of the novel. (Original text: 「布便弓马,膂力过人,号为飞将。稍迁至中郎将,封都亭侯。卓自以遇人无礼,恐人谋己,行止常以布自卫。然卓性刚而褊,忿不思难,尝小失意,拔手戟掷布。布拳捷避之,〈诗曰:“无拳无勇,职为乱阶。”注:“拳,力也。”〉为卓顾谢,卓意亦解。由是阴怨卓。卓常使布守中阁,布与卓侍婢私通,恐事发觉,心不自安。」——Source: data/raw/sanguozhi/魏书·吕布臧洪传.txt)
Lu Bu
In official history, he is a mercenary and reckless warrior, but in the novel he is hailed as the greatest warrior of the Three Kingdoms.
