Chapter 274 Confucian General Lu Su
The most visionary and outstanding diplomat in the Three Kingdoms era, besides Zhuge Liang, was Lu Su.

Lu Su is a famous general in Soochow. He is wise and brave, comparable to Zhou Yu.

In terms of foresight and foresight, he is probably slightly better than Zhou Yu.

In the novel "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Su appears as an honest man.

Like a benevolent elder, he is more than loyal and lacks in intelligence.

He was often teased by Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang for their wits and scheming, and showed a foolish look.

However, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and the drama stage are both artistic creations, not historical records.

From an artistic point of view, it can be called a wonderful work of art.

From a historical perspective, it is a reversal and distortion of history.

Lu Su, who had been active in the vicissitudes of history for a while, had no scheming that would be passed down to future generations.

In history, Lu Su's intelligence and vision were no worse than those of other top counselors.

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he was recommended by Zhou Yu to plan strategies for Sun Quan and was highly regarded.

During the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su advocated resistance to Cao Cao, sent envoys to join Liu Bei, and assisted Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu in persuading Sun Quan.

Lu Su was a loyal and honest man and could not bear Zhou Yu's frame-up of Zhuge Liang, so he helped Zhuge Liang escape from danger many times.

After the Battle of Chibi, Lu Su became the guarantor under Zhuge Liang's design and lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei.

After that, I tried to ask for help many times but failed, leaving me in a dilemma.

But in the end, relying on Lu Su's mediation, the imminent battle was defused.

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs had exclusive power and imposed arbitrary levies and expropriations."

"The wealthy landowners are annexing land like crazy, and farmers are fleeing in large numbers and becoming refugees."

"When the people were in dire straits, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, and the Eastern Han Dynasty suffered a devastating blow."

"While the Eastern Han Dynasty suppressed the peasant uprising, the feudal separatist forces in various places continued to expand, heroes rose up everywhere, and the world was in chaos."

"At this time, Lu Su not only did not manage his own family affairs, but instead gave away a lot of money to the poor people and made friends with talented scholars."

"Lu Su's righteous deed was deeply supported by the people."

"At that time, Zhou Yu was the chief of Juchao. Hearing about Lu Su's name, he brought hundreds of people to visit and asked him to donate some food."

"At that time, Lu Su's family had two large round granaries, each containing three thousand dendrobium rice."

"As soon as Zhou Yu said he wanted to borrow grain, Lu Su did not hesitate and immediately pointed to one of the warehouses and gave it to Zhou Yu."

"After this incident, Zhou Yu was convinced that Lu Su was a unique person, so he took the initiative to make friends with him, and the two established an unbreakable good relationship."

"The east city where Lu Su lived at that time was under the jurisdiction of Yuan Shu."

"After Yuan Shu heard about Lu Su's reputation, he asked Lu Su to be the mayor of the east city."

"But Lu Su found that Yuan Shu's subordinates were too weak to accomplish great things, so he led more than a hundred people to move south to Juchao to join Zhou Yu."

"When moving south, Lu Su let the old and weak go in front, and he led the agile and strong young people in the rear."

"Yuan Shu learned that Lu Su had moved and rushed to stop him."

"Lu Su ordered the strong young men to line up, drew their bows and nocked arrows, and spoke righteously to the pursuers."

"All men, you should understand the general trend."

"Now that the world is in chaos, with no reward for meritorious service, and no punishment for incompetence, why are you persecuting me?"

"Lu Su said, and ordered his men to place their shields on the ground, and then fired their bows from a distance. The arrows penetrated the shields."

"On the one hand, the pursuers felt that Lu Su's words were reasonable, but on the other hand, they estimated that they could not do anything to defeat him with their own strength, so they had no choice but to retreat."

"So, Lu Su successfully arrived at Juchao and defected to Zhou Yu."

"In the third year of Jian'an, Zhou Yu crossed the Yangtze River eastward and defected to Sun Ce."

"Lu Su went with Zhou Yu and left his family in Qu'a."

"After meeting Sun Ce, Sun Ce admired Lu Su very much."

"Later, Lu Su's grandmother passed away, and Lu Su returned to Dongcheng to attend to the funeral."

Yang Jian: Lu Su’s philanthropy in his early years earned him a lot of fame.

Lu Su's journey until he was reused by Sun Quan was not smooth sailing.

Lu Su was born into a noble family in the late Han Dynasty. His family was well off and he was a prominent local family.

When Lu Su was young, his father died early. Lu Su grew up with his grandmother and developed a philanthropic character.

After the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out, Lu Su's hometown became a place of war, with officers and soldiers wreaking havoc and thieves running rampant.

At a young age, Lu Su defied public opinion, sold his fields, bought large quantities of grain, and made friends with heroes.

From this point of view, he admired Lu Su's courage.

From Liu Ye to Zhou Yu, and then to Yuan Shu, Lu Su, who spread money everywhere, gained a reputation and gradually became the target of various princes.

However, although Yuan Shu vigorously courted Lu Su, Lu Su dismissed Yuan Shu's solicitation.

At that time, when Lu Su was serving under Yuan Shu, he took the opportunity to join his tribe and move south to join Zhou Yu because he did not want to join forces with others.

When Yuan Shu sent people to pursue and kill Lu Su, Lu Su uncharacteristically responded with force.

It can be said that in Lu Su's heart, he was unwilling to use force as the only means to solve problems unless it was absolutely necessary.

Although Lu Su's ideals were lofty, he was born into troubled times.

He was not in charge of military affairs, and he was arrogant and reclusive. If he was not satisfied at all, he would put up a seal, seal the gold, and run away far away.

Not long after Lu Sugang defected to Zhou Yu, he followed Zhou Yu across the Yangtze River and defected to Sun Ce.

It's a pity that although Sun Ce admired Lu Su very much, he did not entrust him with important tasks.

For the ambitious Lu Su, he was naturally unwilling to do so.

As the saying goes, good birds choose trees to roost. Since it was not reused, Lu Su also had the idea of ​​​​changing hands.

After his grandmother died of illness, Lu Su left Jiangdong on the pretext of attending a funeral and returned to his hometown in Xuzhou.

If Zhou Yu hadn't intercepted it in time later, Soochow would have lost its general Lu Su.

"Liu Ye is a good friend of Lu Su. He wrote to Lu Su and said in the letter."

"There are many heroes in the world today. With your qualifications and talents, Lu Su, you are particularly suitable for today's social situation."

"You'd better go back and pick up my old mother as soon as possible. Don't stay in Dongcheng."

"Now Zheng Bao has more than 10,000 soldiers in Chaohu, occupying a rich area."

"Many people in Lujiang County have gone to rely on Zheng Bao, let alone us."

"Looking at Zheng Bao's trend, more people will gather. Don't miss this opportunity. You should go there."

"Lu Su agreed with Liu Ye's opinion, buried his grandmother, and returned to Qu'a."

"I immediately packed up my gear and planned to go to Zheng Bao."

"It happened that Zhou Yu had already brought Lu Su's mother to Wu County. Lu Su went to see him and told Zhou Yu Liu Ye's suggestions and his own plans."

"At this time, Zhou Yu was searching for talents, so he opposed Lu Su's plan to travel north."

"In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce was killed, and his younger brother Sun Quan took control of the Soochow regime."

"At this time, in Sun Quan's new regime, Zhou Yu was in charge of the military and state power."

"After Sun Ce's death, the situation in Jiangdong was quite chaotic for a time. It was only with the full support of Zhou Yu and others that the situation was gradually stabilized."

"Zhou Yu, who is recruiting talents for Sun Quan, of course cannot let Lu Su go."

"Zhou Yu quoted the words of a general of the Eastern Han Dynasty and warned Lu Su not to defect to people he didn't understand easily."

"Zhou Yu introduced to Lu Su that Sun Quan was a very accomplished leader who was good at listening to different opinions and paid attention to absorbing talents from all walks of life."

"Follow Sun Quan and you will surely achieve great success in the future."

"Lu Su was unwilling to leave Jiangdong. After hearing Zhou Yu's advice, he gave up the idea of ​​​​going north to join Zheng Bao."

Sun Quan: Thanks to Zhou Lang’s ingenious plan to keep Lu Su, otherwise I wouldn’t have my great ambitions.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu quietly took Lu Su's family back to Chaisang in advance, forcing Lu Su to return to Jiangdong.

When Lu Su returned to Soochow again, he fell in love with Lu Su at a banquet.

Lu Su's life also changed rapidly, from being a dispensable aide during his elder brother's time to a counselor who was entrusted with important responsibilities by him.

The change in Lu Su's status is clear at a glance.

Of course, the reason why he reused Lu Su was also impressed by Lu Su's strategy.

The world is in turmoil, heroes rise together, and fighting continues.

Cao Cao got rid of Lu Bu and Yuan Shao and dominated the north.

To the south of the Huai River, it is occupied by multiple separatist forces.

When talking about the situation in the world, Lu Su pointed out the key point.

He still has fresh memories of the heroic words Lu Su said at that time.

In today's world, the Han Dynasty cannot flourish and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated.

We can only base ourselves in Jiangdong, attack Huang Zu and Liu Biao, and occupy Jingzhou.

Relying on the favorable geographical location of the Yangtze River, he competed with Cao Cao.

When the world changes, then send troops northward to unify the world.

For him who had just taken power at that time, Lu Su's words and deeds seemed extremely advanced.

However, there is no doubt that Lu Su's strategic thinking of dividing the world into two parts deeply moved him and gained his approval.

It is no exaggeration to say that throughout his life, he was practicing Lu Su's early strategic policies.

"After Lu Su followed Zhou Yu's advice, Zhou Yu immediately recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan."

"And he strongly praised Lu Su to Sun Quan for his talents and his ability to serve as an auxiliary minister."

"And he also suggested that Sun Quan should search for talents like Lu Su in many ways to achieve great things and not let them disperse to other places."

"Sun Quan immediately made an appointment with Lu Su and talked with him. He was very happy."

"When the guests present stood up and left, Lu Su also left."

"But after a while, Lu Su was quietly called back by Sun Quan, and the two drank and talked."

"Sun Quan spoke first. Today, the Han Dynasty is like a building about to collapse, and there is chaos in all directions."

"I inherit the foundation established by my father and brother, and hope to achieve the same achievements as Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin."

"Since you have patronized me, what good advice can you give me to help me succeed?"

"Lu Su replied that in the past, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Geng Geng Zhongzhong, wanted to respect Emperor Yi, but failed in the end. This was because Xiang Yu harmed Emperor Yi."

"Cao Cao today is like Xiang Yu in the past. How can a general become Duke Huan of Qi or Duke Wen of Jin?"

"In Lu Su's opinion, the Han Dynasty cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated at once."

"For the sake of the general, I can only stand in Jiangdong to watch the changing situation in the world."

"The situation in the world is like this, and occupying one side will naturally not arouse suspicion or hatred."

"Why? Because it's a troubled time in the north."

"You should take advantage of this change to attack Liu Biao and try your best to occupy all the land south of the Yangtze River."

"Then proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a title in order to conquer the world is like the great emperor of the Han Dynasty who established a great cause!"

"Sun Quan said modestly, I am doing my best now just to assist the Han Dynasty. I don't have the ability to do what you said."

"Zhang Zhao believed that Lu Su was not modest enough and criticized and slandered him many times, saying that he was young and ignorant and could not be reused."

"Sun Quan, however, looked at Lu Su in a different light and thought highly of him."

"And Lu Su was given generous gifts, which brought the Lu family's wealth to the old level."

"Lu Su tried his best to assist Sun Quan. Whenever there was a major event, he would be his counselor and planner."

Li Shimin: Except for Zhou Yu and Lu Su, everyone else in Soochow is a rat from Jiangdong.

He liked very few people in Soochow, and Lu Su was one of them.

Below Sun Quan, Lu Su is the only one who understands politics and knows that he must contact Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao in order to maintain the geographical security of Jiangdong and further aspire to dominate the Central Plains.

Lu Su unswervingly adhered to the Sun-Liu alliance because he saw that the maintenance and consolidation of the alliance was related to the long-term interests of Jiangdong's life and death. This was Lu Su's foresight.

Lu Su's life activities proved that he was the most outstanding politician in Jiangdong.

Lu Su not only had the courage of a politician, but also excellent military and diplomatic talents.

Moreover, he also has the valuable quality of not being selfish and loyal to the great cause of the country.

Therefore, among the many heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su of Soochow can be said to be an all-powerful figure.

In that era of elite gathering, Lu Su made immortal contributions to Soochow.

But such an outstanding politician was arbitrarily arranged by Luo Guanzhong of the Ming Dynasty.

In "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that I have read before, Lu Su was written as a loyal but slightly mediocre elder, and became the foil for the battle of wits between Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.

What he wants to say is that this is inconsistent with historical authenticity and an extremely irresponsible arrangement.

"In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to attack Jiangxia westward and prepare to capture Jingzhou."

"Cao Cao had no time to look south, but now that he sees Sun Quan attacking Jiangxia, he is afraid that he will attack Jingzhou."

"So Cao Cao began his southern expedition in July and gathered his army in Nanyang."

"In August of the same year, Liu Biao died of illness."

"Lu Su proposed to go to Jingzhou to mourn on behalf of Sun Quan, and at the same time secretly learned about the situation."

"Sun Quan also had this intention, so he approved Lu Su's request."

"Lu Su just arrived in Xiakou and heard that Cao Cao has marched towards Jingzhou."

"Lu Su traveled day and night until he arrived at Nanjun."

"Liu Biao's son Liu Cong has surrendered Jingzhou to Cao Cao, and Liu Bei is preparing to retreat south across the river."

"When Lu Su saw this situation, he made a quick decision and went to find Liu Bei."

"In Dangyang Changban, Lu Su and Liu Bei met."

"Lu Su explained the mission Sun Quan sent him, then discussed the world situation with Liu Bei, and asked Liu Bei where he planned to go."

"When he learned that Liu Bei wanted to join Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, Lu Su said that Wu Ju was a mediocre man who had done nothing and advised Liu Bei not to rely on him."

"Then, he described Sun Quan's situation and Jiangdong's strength in detail, and advised Liu Bei to unite with Sun Quan to reject Cao Cao."

"Liu Bei listened to Lu Su's analysis and decided to fight against Cao." "At this time, Zhuge Liang was following Liu Bei. Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang that I am your brother's friend, and the two immediately formed a friendship."

"Liu Bei led his troops to Xiakou and sent Zhuge Liang to follow Lu Su to Chaisang to meet with Sun Quan."

"Sun Quan learned that Cao Cao was planning to cross the Yangtze River and invade eastward, so he summoned all the generals to discuss it."

"The generals all urged Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao, but Lu Su did not say a word."

"Sun Quan got up to go to the toilet, and Lu Su followed him under the eaves."

"Sun Quan knew that Lu Su wanted to express his opinions alone, so he took his hand and asked."

"After listening to Lu Su's advice, Sun Quan was convinced."

"I am deeply disappointed by these people's claims."

"Now that you have stated your long-term plan, it is consistent with my thoughts. This is God giving you to me!"

"At this time, Zhou Yu was out of town, and Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan to recall him."

"After Zhou Yu returned, he strengthened Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao."

"Sun Quan authorized Zhou Yu to take charge of the war, and appointed Lu Su as the captain of the Zan Army to help Zhou Yu make plans."

"In the end, Sun and Liu worked together to defeat Cao's army in Chibi."

Lu Su: The reason why I went to Jingzhou to mourn Liu Biao was because I had an important mission secretly.

If he doesn't rush to Jingzhou quickly, he may let Cao Cao rush ahead, which will be extremely detrimental to the situation in Soochow.

The land of Jingchu is adjacent to their river east, and they can go north along the river.

Connected to the Han River on the outside and separated by mountains and mausoleums on the inside, it is like a solid city. It has fertile fields for thousands of miles and the people are rich.

If you occupy this territory, you will have laid the foundation for establishing an emperor's business.

In addition, Liu Biao had just passed away, and the two sons had always been at odds, and the generals in the army were divided into two factions.

In addition, Liu Bei is a powerful man in the world and has conflicts with Cao Cao.

Liu Bei took refuge with Liu Biao, but Liu Biao was jealous of his talent and did not dare to reuse him.

If Liu Bei and Liu Biao's sons work together as one, they should appease Soochow and form an alliance with them.

If Liu Bei and Liu Biao's sons are at odds with each other, they should make other plans to achieve their own great things.

It was precisely because of this that he requested to be ordered to go to Jingzhou to express condolences to Liu Biao's sons.

He also comforted the generals in their army and persuaded Liu Bei to appease Liu Biao's subordinates.

If we work together to deal with Cao Cao, Liu Bei will definitely be happy to obey.

If this matter is handled well, the world will be peaceful.

When all the generals advised Sun Quan to surrender to Cao Cao, he was the only one who advocated uniting with Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao.

At that time, in order to persuade Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao, he really spent a lot of words and words, and then he convinced Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao.

Lu Su could surrender to greet Cao Cao, but only Sun Quan could not.

The reason why he said this was because he understood one thing very well.

If he surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao should send him back to his hometown.

According to his reputation and status, he can still be a minor official.

Riding an ox cart, having an entourage, making friends with scholar-bureaucrats, and slowly getting promoted, eventually becoming a governor of a state or county.

But if Sun Quan surrenders to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will only treat Sun Quan like he put Emperor Xian of Han under house arrest.

It was his remarks that strengthened Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao.

"After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan relied more and more on Lu Su and called him his confidant."

"Later Liu Bei sent someone to see Sun Quan and asked to borrow Jingzhou."

"Lu Fan and other generals advised Sun Quan to detain Liu Bei. Zhou Yu, who was in other places, also expressed the same intention in the book."

"Only Lu Su considered the overall situation and persuaded Sun Quan to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei and unite with Sun and Liu to fight against Cao."

"After listening to Lu Su's analysis, Sun Quan agreed with Lu Su's proposition."

"When Cao Cao heard the news that Sun Quan had borrowed Jingzhou to send to Liu Bei, he was writing a letter. He was shocked and dropped the pen in his hand."

"When Zhou Yu was critically ill, he wrote to Sun Quan and recommended Lu Su to replace him."

"Sun Quan adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion and immediately appointed Lu Su as Fenwu Colonel to replace Zhou Yu in commanding the troops."

"Zhou Yu's personal troops of more than 4,000 people, as well as the original four counties of Fengyi, were all transferred to Lu Su."

"Lu Su initially stationed himself at Jiangling, and then moved his troops down to Lukou."

"With his prestige and kindness, he became popular among the people. His subordinates increased by more than 10,000, and he was appointed as the prefect of Hanchang."

"In the 19th year of Jian'an, Lu Su followed Sun Quan to attack Wancheng and was appointed General Hengjiang."

"Prior to this, Yizhou Shepherd Liu Zhang's laws and regulations were decadent and lax. Zhou Yu and others had advised Sun Quan to take the opportunity to capture Shu."

"Sun Quan consulted Liu Bei for his opinion on this matter. Liu Bei had his own plan in mind and pretended to tell Sun Quan."

"Liu Zhang and I claim to be descendants of the royal family and hope to use the heroic spirits of our ancestors to save the Han Dynasty."

"Now that Liu Zhang has offended everyone, I am frightened and uneasy in my heart. I dare not hear the words of conquering Shu. I hope you will forgive him."

"If this request is not answered, I will let my hair down and go into seclusion in the mountains."

"Sun Quan agreed to Liu Bei's request and did not take the opportunity to attack Shu."

"However, later Liu Bei marched westward and attempted to annex Liu Zhang, leaving Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou."

"After Sun Quan understood Liu Bei's intention to annex Shu, he became furious and cursed Liu Bei as a cunning and treacherous villain."

Zhao Zhen: Although Zhou Yu and Lu Su had conflicts, judging from Zhou Yu's strong recommendation of Lu Su before his death, Zhou Yu was still very sensible.

There was an obvious conflict between Zhou Yu and Lu Su regarding Liu Bei's borrowing of Jingzhou.

Lu Su believed that although Sun Quan was powerful, Cao Cao was too powerful.

According to Lu Su, Soochow Wu had just occupied Jingzhou and had not yet had time to practice kindness and faith among the people.

It would be a good idea to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei and let Liu Bei appease the people.

Because in this way, Cao Cao has one more enemy, and Sun Quan has one more friend.

You know, Zhou Yu regarded Liu Bei as a thorn in his side and wanted to kill him quickly.

So when Lu Su proposed to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei, Zhou Yu publicly reprimanded Lu Su for raising tigers.

But what impressed him was that when Zhou Yu died of illness, he strongly recommended Lu Su to replace him.

On his deathbed, he was able to promote Lu Su to the position of general in the army regardless of political differences.

It can be said that judging from Zhou Yu's behavior, Lu Su's talent is no less than that of many famous generals in the late Han Dynasty.

"At this time, Lu Su and Guan Yu were united in neighboring areas. Their territories were intertwined and frictions occurred many times."

"Lu Su takes the overall situation into consideration and always appeases both parties with a friendly gesture."

"Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, and Sun Quan asked Liu Bei to return the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in Jingzhou."

"Liu Bei sternly refused, so Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to lead an army to attack."

"The two counties of Changsha and Guiyang surrendered, but only Hao Pu, the prefect of Lingling, refused to surrender."

"Liu Bei learned that he personally led 50,000 troops back from Chengdu to take charge, and sent Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops to fight for the three counties."

"Sun Quan also marched from Moling to Lukou and sent Lu Su to lead 10,000 men to garrison Yiyang to confront Guan Yu."

"Lu Su invited Guan Yu to meet him for the sake of the overall situation."

"Lu Su proposed to arrange his troops and horses a hundred steps away, and only the generals would go to the meeting with their own swords."

"After Lu Su made his decision, his generals were afraid of something unexpected happening and advised Lu Su not to venture into dangerous places easily."

"Lu Su has no fear. He said that today, he should speak clearly."

"Liu Bei has failed the country. Right and wrong have not yet been determined. What can Guan Yu do?"

"After Lu Su said this, he resolutely went to the meeting and accused Guan Yu several times at the meeting."

"We in Jiangdong sincerely lend our land to you because you came from afar in defeat and have no place to stand."

"Now that Yizhou has been obtained, since I have no intention of returning Jingzhou, I only ask you to return the three counties, but you still refuse to obey."

"Before Lu Su finished speaking, a general from Jingzhou retorted."

"When it comes to land, only benevolent people can possess it. There is no reason why one family can never let it go."

"Lu Su immediately shouted and scolded him with stern words."

"Guan Yu also rose up with his sword at this time and signaled the man to leave with his eyes."

"In the end, the one-on-one meeting did not reach a conclusion. The two sides were in a stalemate, and the war was about to break out."

"At that time, Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, and Liu Bei was afraid of losing Yizhou, so he sent people to make peace with Sun Quan."

"The two sides agreed to divide Jingzhou equally using the Xiang River as the boundary."

"The three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang belong to Sun Quan, and the three counties of Nanjun, Wuling and Lingling belong to Liu Bei."

"So Sun Quan and Liu Bei called a truce and the war was called the Xiang River delimitation in history."

"At that time, Lu Su and others believed that Cao Cao was in the north and the war had just begun."

"The Sun and Liu families should rely on each other, help each other, share the same hatred and hatred, and should not affect the overall situation due to competing interests of both parties."

"But Lu Meng secretly advised Sun Quan to eliminate Guan Yu as soon as possible and completely occupy the Yangtze River."

"Although Sun Quan thought Lu Meng's suggestion was reasonable, he still adopted the ideas of Lu Su and others."

"Continue to maintain the Sun-Liu alliance and move north to attack Hefei."

Zhu Di: Soochow and Shu Han were able to form an alliance, and Lu Su took the greatest credit. It's a pity that the alliance collapsed once Lu Su died, giving Cao Cao the opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Sun Quan bypassed Lu Su and sent Lu Meng to attack Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang counties.

Liu Bei, on the other hand, raised 50,000 troops to guard the police.

Guan Yu led 30,000 troops and marched directly into the three counties.

The alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei will collapse in the blink of an eye.

At that time, Lu Su was stationed in Yiyang. When he saw Guan Yu's troops arriving, he immediately invited him to negotiate.

In order to ease the tense conflict between the two sides, Lu Su even entered the camp alone and attended the meeting alone.

During the meeting, Lu Su repeatedly criticized Guan Yu for being ungrateful.

Even though Guan Yu was arrogant and arrogant, he lost his temper in front of Lu Su.

Soon after, Liu Bei adopted Lu Su's suggestion.

With the Xiang River as the boundary, Jingzhou was divided equally, and Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang were ceded to Soochow.

The battle that was about to break out was dissolved into nothingness by Lu Su.

Obviously, Lu Su's actions were still to protect the Sun-Liu alliance.

In Lu Su's eyes, Cao Cao is still the biggest enemy of Sun Quan and Liu Bei.

Since Cao Cao started farming, Lu Su has become more and more aware of the crisis.

Whether it is Soochow or Shu Han, relying solely on one force is simply not enough to compete with Cao Wei.

Therefore, after the Xiangshui Alliance, Lu Su dealt with Jingzhou, handled the relationship between the two parties cautiously, and gradually resolved Guan Yu's desire for revenge.

"In the 22nd year of Jian'an, Lu Su passed away at the age of forty-six."

"Sun Quan personally organized the funeral and attended his funeral. Zhuge Liang also mourned for him."

"Sun Quan has never forgotten the important role Lu Su played in the establishment of the Soochow regime."

"In 229 AD, when Sun Quan proclaimed himself emperor and went to the altar to worship heaven, what he never forgot was that Lu Su was the first person to clearly state that he wanted to have an imperial career as his goal."

"When Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye, he held a civil and military conference with the generals and spoke to the ministers."

"I used to compare Lu Su to Deng Yu, the founding hero of the Eastern Han Dynasty. You guys never stopped arguing at that time. What do you think now?"

"The minister is a little confused. I don't understand what it means. I think it's too much to praise Lu Su."

"So Sun Quan explained the reason. In the past, Deng Yu met Emperor Guangwu. At that time, Emperor Guangwu was working under Emperor Gengshi, Fu Hebei, and doing great Sima affairs."

"Emperor Guangwu did not have imperial ambitions at first. It was Deng Yu who persuaded Liu Xiu to restore Han Dynasty."

"Liu Xiu could eventually become an emperor and trace the source. The beginning was Deng Yu's proposal."

"Lu Su is a generous and resourceful man. The first conversation he had with me involved the emperor's foundation."

"Lu Su is similar to Deng Yu in this way, that's why I compare him."

"There is a reason for this. It's not that I have to prefer Lu Su."

"After hearing this, the minister suddenly understood and expressed deep admiration for Lu Su."

"When Lu Su's posthumous son Lu Shu grew up, he successively served as General Zhaowu, Marquis of Duting, and Governor of Wuchang."

"Lu Shu managed the army rigorously and was talented. She died of illness in 274."

"After Lu Shu's death, his son Lu Mu inherited Lu Shu's title and commanded the army."

Yongzheng: It is a pity that Lu Su died too early, which prevented Soochow from having any far-sighted strategic genius.

Lu Su was only forty-six years old when he died. This age was not very old in the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Soochow took Jingzhou, Liu Bei sent troops to Soochow, Lu Meng died of illness, and gave the post of governor to Lu Su.

In the face of internal and external troubles, Lu Su had to train his army and strictly guard against Cao Cao.

Another convenience is to send someone to contact Zhuge Liang to repair the relationship between the two countries.

As a man with far-reaching strategies, Lu Su hoped that he could resolve this huge crisis in his own hands. It can be said that he was heartbroken.

As a result, even the iron-clad body cannot bear such fatigue.

Coupled with the constant war tension, there may only be a little problem with the body.

However, due to the constant criticism of copywriting, etc., I was completely exhausted and physically weak.

In addition, Cao's army sent troops to attack Soochow. Soon after arriving, they encountered a serious epidemic, and countless people died of illness in the army.

Lu Su, who was already weak and sickly, could not escape this disaster and died of a sudden illness.

After Lu Su's death, Soochow maliciously tore up the Xiangshui Alliance, launched a sneak attack on Jingzhou, and killed Guan Yu.

In this way, the balance between Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan was completely broken.
