The videos I watched became popular in ancient times

In the fourth year of Yan Xi, Lü Dai was born in an official family in the eastern border of Hailing County, Guangling Prefecture.

In the fifth year of Jian'an, Sun Ce, the founder of Eastern Wu, passed away. After his brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he recruited talents from all over the world.

Lu Dai went to Sun Quan's court and served under him, and was appointed as the prefect of Wujun.

Lu Dai performed his duties conscientiously as the county magistrate, managed the affairs under his charge in an orderly manner, and soon stood out.

Once, Sun Quan presided over a meeting and personally inspected the management of warehouses in various counties and the handling of prisoners in prisons.
"The county magistrate and the county magistrate all came to pay their respects. The other county magistrates were reprimanded by Sun Quan, but Lu Dai calmly "handled the case and answered questions", which won Sun Quan's appreciation."

"So Sun Quan kept him by his side and appointed him as a recorder in charge of documents. Soon he was promoted to 'Yuyao Chang'. This was the biggest turning point in his life."

"The first thing Lü Dai did after arriving in Yuyao County was to form a troop of more than 1,000 men. These recruited warriors from the south of the Yangtze River later followed Lü Dai to fight in the north and south, and made great military achievements."

"In the 16th year of Jian'an, the bandits Lü He, Qin Lang and others from the five counties of Kuaiji and Dongye rebelled. Sun Quan appointed Lü Dai as the military commander. Lü Dai immediately led his troops to Dongye and went to fight with the western lieutenant Jiang Qin and others. They captured Lü He and Qin Lang alive, and the five counties were pacified. Lü Dai was appointed as the General of the Central Army of Zhaoxin."

"In the 20th year of Jian'an, Lü Dai led ten generals including Sun Mao to follow Sun Quan and cooperate with Lü Meng to conquer the three counties of Changsha. Officials from the four counties of Ancheng, You, Yongxin and Chaling entered Yinshan City together and gathered troops to resist Lü Dai. Lü Dai attacked the fortress and all the people surrendered. The three counties were then pacified."

"Sun Quan left Lü Dai to guard Changsha. Wu Dang, the county magistrate of Ancheng County, and Yuan Long, the general of the imperial court, responded to Guan Yu and started a rebellion again."

"Wu Dang occupied You County, and Yuan Long defended Liling. Sun Quan sent General Lu Su, who was in charge of the Hengjiang River, to attack You County, and Wu Dang broke through and escaped."

"Lü Dai attacked Liling, captured Yuan Long alive and killed him, and was promoted to governor of Luling."

"In the first year of Yankang, Cao Cao died, Cao Pi became emperor, and the Eastern Han Dynasty officially perished."

"Sun Quan transferred Jiaozhou Governor Bu Zhi to the front line, and Lü Dai replaced Bu Zhi as Jiaozhou Governor."

"After taking office, Lü Dai used both kindness and force to accumulate his own strength while constantly suppressing the resistance of local forces in Lingnan, while at the same time trying to find opportunities to eliminate the separatist forces in Lingnan."

"When Lü Dai arrived in Jiaozhou, the Gaoliang bandit leader Qian Bo begged for surrender. Lü Dai followed the old system and appointed Qian Bo as the commander of the western part of Gaoliang."

"Then the soldiers of the Yulin minority invaded and defended the prefectures and counties, and Lü Dai attacked and defeated them."

"At that time, Wang Jin, a bandit from Guiyang and Zhenyang, gathered a group of people in the border of Nanhai and led a rebellion. Sun Quan ordered Lü Dai to fight against them. He captured Wang Jin alive and sent him to the capital. He beheaded and captured more than 10,000 people alive."

"Lü Dai was promoted to General of Annan, given the title of Marquis of Duxiang."

"In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the largest local power in Lingnan was represented by the Shi Xie brothers."

"After the Battle of Red Cliff, Cao Cao's forces retreated to the north. Sun Quan's westward expansion was blocked by Liu Bei's group, and his northward expansion had no chance of success. Lingnan became a place that Sun Quan was determined to conquer."

"In the fifth year of Huangwu, Shi Xie, who had served as governor of Jiaozhi for 40 years, died. Shi Xie's son Shi Hui wanted to rebel against Wu and establish his own regime."

"Sun Quan, out of precaution, wanted to dismiss Shi Hui from his post as governor of Jiaozhi and appoint him as General Anyuan, governor of Jiuzhen, and replace Shi Xie with Lieutenant Chen Shi as governor of Jiaozhi, in order to further weaken Shi Hui's power."

"Shi Hui was even more dissatisfied with this, and his intention to rebel against Wu became more obvious."

"For this reason, Lü Dai submitted a memorial to Sun Quan suggesting that the three Nanhai counties be split up to set up Jiaozhou, with General Dai Liang as the governor of Jiaozhou, and that Guangzhou be set aside in the four Haidong counties, with Lü Dai himself appointed as the governor of Guangzhou."

"Sun Quan adopted Lü Dai's suggestion and sent Dai Liang and Chen Shinan to take up their posts. Shi Hui disobeyed the order and openly sent troops to defend Haikou to resist Dai Liang and others."

"Lü Dai knew that if Shi Hui was not removed at this time, there would be endless troubles. On the one hand, he wrote to Sun Quan to request that Shi Hui be punished for disobeying orders, and on the other hand, he wrote to Shi Hui to "tell him about the consequences" and launch a political offensive."

Li Bai: Lü Dai led 3,000 soldiers to march across the sea day and night.

Someone said to Lü Dai: "Shi Hui has been favored by several generations and is supported by all the people in the state. Don't look down on him."

Lü Dai said: "Although Shi Hui is plotting a rebellion, he did not expect me to attack him suddenly. If my army marches lightly and quietly, and attacks him when he is least prepared, we will surely defeat him. If my army lingers and does not advance quickly, he will become suspicious and defend the city. Then the barbarians from the seven counties will gather to respond. Even if there are wise men, who can plot against them?"

So he marched forward, and when he passed Hepu, he joined forces with Dai Liang and marched together.

When Shi Hui heard that Lü Dai was coming, he was greatly frightened and didn't know what to do. He immediately led his six brothers to kneel shirtless to welcome Lü Dai.

Lu Dai beheaded them all and sent their heads to the capital.

Shi Hui's generals Gan Li, Huan Zhi and others led officials and civilians to attack Lü Dai. Lü Dai fought hard and defeated them, and was promoted to the title of Marquis of Panyu.

So Guangzhou was abolished and Jiaozhou was restored as before.

Lü Dai then took advantage of the victory to march forward to attack Jiuzhen. Wherever his army went, it was invincible. From then on, Lingnan was truly brought under the direct control of the Eastern Wu regime.

Because of his merits, Lu Dai was granted the title of Marquis of Panyu and promoted to General Zhennan.

Later, Sun Quan merged the seven Lingnan counties into Jiaozhou and still appointed him as the governor of Jiaozhou.

While serving as the governor of Jiaozhou, Lü Dai once again demonstrated his extraordinary talents.

He sent officials to "spread the country's culture to the south" many times and sent envoys to "the southwestern ocean continent" and many countries in present-day Southeast Asia.

The kings of foreign countries such as Funan, Linyi, and Tangming sent envoys to Wu to pay tribute.

This move of Lu Dai is comparable in Chinese history to Ban Chao's sending envoys to visit West Asian countries during the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The restoration of the actual rule of the Eastern Wu regime over Lingnan was a victory of the central government over the local separatist forces. Lü Dai played an indispensable role in this, and his contribution was no less than that of Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

In the third year of Huanglong, considering the peace and stability in the south, Lü Dai was recalled and led his troops to station in Fukou, Changsha County.

At that time, the ethnic minorities in Wuling area were in turmoil, and Lü Dai and Taichang Pan Jun jointly led troops to suppress and quell the unrest. In the third year of Jiahe, Sun Quan ordered Lü Dai to lead Pan Zhang's troops to station in Lukou, and later moved to Puqi.

In the fourth year of Jiahe, the bandits Li Huan and Lu He in Luling, Sui Chun in Kuaiji and Dongye, and Luo Li in Nanhai all rebelled at the same time. Sun Quan ordered Lü Dai to lead Liu Zhan, Tang Zi and others to divide their troops to suppress the rebellion. Sui Chun surrendered first, and Lü Dai appointed him as a general and let him continue to lead his old subordinates.

Sui Chun then became one of the generals. Li Huan, Luo Li and others were captured and beheaded. Their heads were sent to the capital. Sun Quan ordered Lü Dai to say, "Luo Li took advantage of the dangerous place to rebel and brought about his own death. Li Huan was vicious, cunning and fickle. He rebelled again after surrendering. We have attacked him many times but failed to capture him over the years. If it were not for your planning and strategy, who could have beheaded him? Your loyalty and military integrity are even more evident in this matter. The culprit has been eliminated, the big and small bandits have been deterred, and the remaining small gangs of bandits have been wiped out. From now on, the country will never have to worry about the south, the three counties will be stable, there will be no fear of anxiety, and the evil people will provide taxes and labor service, which is worthy of deep admiration. The reward will not exceed one month. This is the country's routine and the system allows. Please consider and decide."

"In the second year of Chiwu, Pan Jun died, and Lü Dai took over his duties in handling official documents in Jingzhou. He and Lu Xun were both in Wuchang, so they supervised Puqi."

"Soon after, Liao Shi rebelled, attacked and besieged towns, and Lingling, Cangwu, and Yulin counties were harassed. Lu Dai submitted a petition to volunteer to send troops, and traveled day and night."

"Sun Quan sent an envoy to posthumously confer Lü Dai the title of governor of Jiaozhou, and sent generals such as Tang Zi to reinforce him. After a year of attack, Liao Shi was defeated and Liao Shi and his appointed fake officials, such as Linhe prefect Fei Yang, were beheaded. Their troops were incorporated. After all the counties were pacified, Lü Dai returned to Wuchang."

"He was already eighty years old at the time, but he was still in good health and still handled government affairs personally."

"While in Jingzhou, Lü Dai was also in charge of the official documents of Jingzhou. He was extremely busy with military and political affairs. Although he was over 80 years old, he still maintained the style of "personally handling the affairs of the prince" and handled official documents personally."

"He is a man of extraordinary energy who never tires of riding a horse and always leaps forward."

"Lü Dai is so old and still strong that his colleagues say he is better than the ancient general Lian Po."

"General Zhang Cheng wrote to Lü Dai, saying, 'In the past, Duke Zhou and Duke Shao assisted the emperor of Zhou. People wrote the Zhounan and Zhaonan to praise them. Now you and Lu Xun are like them. You are loyal and diligent in front of others. You work hard and humbly. Your achievements are achieved by judging the situation. Your morality is promoted through education. Gentlemen admire your noble character and the people love your beautiful nature. In addition, there are many official documents and guests all day long. You are tired but don't give up your official duties. You are tired but don't complain about your tiredness. I also learned that you can jump on the horse by yourself without stepping on the stirrups. In this way, you are better than Lian Po. How pleasant it is for you to do everything! The Book of Changes says that etiquette emphasizes respect and morality emphasizes promotion. How come you have all these good qualities! '"

"In the eighth year of Chiwu, Lu Xun died and Zhuge Ke took over his position. Sun Quan then divided Wuchang into two divisions. Lü Dai led the right division from Wuchang to Puqi and was promoted to the rank of general. His son Lü Kai was also granted the rank of deputy military lieutenant and supervised the army in Puqi."

"In the first year of Jianxing, after Sun Liang ascended the throne, he appointed Lü Dai as Grand Marshal."

"Lü Dai was upright and honest, and he was praised by people wherever he went."

"When I was in Jiaozhou, I didn't give money to my family for many years, and my wife and children were hungry and exhausted."

"When Sun Quan heard this, he sighed and blamed his ministers, saying, 'Lü Dai went to war, thousands of miles away, working hard for the country, and his family was in such a difficult situation, but I didn't know about it earlier. As your loyal ministers, where is your responsibility? '

"So he doubled the amount of money, rice, cloth and silk given to the Lu family, and there was a fixed amount every year."

"In the first year of Taiping, Lü Dai passed away in Wuchang at the age of ninety-six."

"His son Lu Kai inherited the title. When Lu Dai was dying, he told his family: "During the funeral, the coffin should not be painted, and the cloth should be thin. The funeral ceremony must be simple and frugal."

"According to Lü Dai's last words, Lü Kai buried him in Gaoyangdang, Hailing."

Su Shi: Lü Dai was from Hailing County, Guangling County, Xuzhou, which is on the north bank of the Yangtze River estuary.

He was originally an official in a county, but when Guangling became chaotic, he crossed the river and came to Jiangdong.

In 200 AD, Sun Quan took power. Lü Dai, who was already years old, took the initiative to go to him for surrender and was appointed as the magistrate of Wu County.

Once, Sun Quan personally inspected the warehouses and prisons in various counties. He handled the matter well and responded appropriately, so Sun Quan kept him by his side to be in charge of clerical work. Later, he was appointed as the county magistrate of Yuyao in Kuaiji County.

Lu Dai, who was nearly fifty years old, recruited a thousand elite soldiers here and started his glorious life.

He started with these 215 brave soldiers and participated in a series of wars to quell rebellions. Finally, in , at the age of , he became the Prefect of Luling and General of the Central Army of Zhaoxin.

In 220, the sixty-year-old Lü Dai was transferred to Jiaozhou by Sun Quan and succeeded Bu Zhi as the governor of Jiaozhou.

Although Shi Xie, the "local emperor" of Jiaozhou, had surrendered to Sun Quan, he was still relatively independent. After Lü Dai took over, although he was nominally the chief executive of a state, his sphere of influence was limited to the two counties of Nanhai and Cangwu.

Shi Xie was already 84 years old at this time, with limited energy and a lifelong love of peace. Lü Dai, who was getting stronger with age, took this opportunity to expand his influence in Jiaozhou by suppressing the rebellion, which he was good at.

In the eastern part of Hepu County, Qian Bo, a remnant of the Wu Ju army, occupied the area for eight years. The Wu army waged a long-term campaign against him, and in 218 AD, Sun Quan established Gaoliang County here.
Lu Dai was very interested in Qian Bo's placement after his surrender. "In accordance with usual practice," he appointed him as the Western Commander in charge of the west side of Gaoliang County.

In other words, if Shi Xie's people in the west wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to enter Gaoliang County and take over power, they had to get past Qian Bo first to see if he agreed.

This is Gaoliang County, which was separated from Hepu County and controlled by Lu Dai and was eaten away.

Later, an opportunity arose in Yulin County. The local indigenous people rebelled and even developed to the point of besieging the county.

As the governor, Lu Dai took on the responsibility and rushed to quell the rebellion, expanding his influence to Yulin County.

After Sun Quan was named King of Wu by Cao Pi in 222, Wang Jin, a native of Fuyang County at the southern end of Guiyang County in Jingzhou, gathered a group of people and caused chaos in the border area between Guiyang County and Nanha County.

Nanhai County was the county where Panyu, the capital of Jiaozhou under Lü Dai, was located. Because of its convenient transportation to Suiyang, Sun Quan ordered Lü Dai to go there to attack.

Lu Dai captured Wang Jin alive and escorted him to Jiankang, achieving a great victory in which he killed more than 10,000 people.

Lü Dai expanded his influence in Jiaozhou and performed outstandingly, which won him the recognition of Wu Emperor Sun Quan, who promoted him to General of Annan, granted him temporary authority, and conferred him the title of Marquis of Duxiang.

The influence in Jiaozhou is increasing and decreasing. Hepu County was originally one of the bases of Shi Xie brothers. Now Gaoliang County, which was separated to the east, has been basically lost, and the influence on Yulin County in the north is also decreasing.

In the first few years after Lü Dai arrived in Jiaozhou, he spent all his salary on official business, so that his wife and children often went hungry. When Sun Quan learned about this, he was very moved and increased his reward of money, rice, cloth, silk and other daily necessities, which later became a regular practice.

Jiaozhi Prefect Shi Xie's governance of the area under his influence brought benefits to the people, so he was deeply loved by the people in Jiaozhou.

When he traveled, there was a chorus of ritual music, music and drums, and his entourage was dressed in majestic and solemn attire. The streets were filled with carriages and horses, and there were often dozens of native people following behind, huddled together and burning incense. (End of this chapter)
