Why did Lu Xun, a famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms, defeat Cao, while Sun Quan defeated Guan Yu?

Yang Jiong's poem "Better be a centurion than a scholar", one of the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty", expresses that the poet would rather be a junior officer on the battlefield than a scholar studying. War seems to have nothing to do with literati, but history has proved time and time again that literati can also become a generation of superstars. Editor Du Zeng introduced Yu, a famous minister in the Southern Song Dynasty, and broke 300,000 nomads. This paper introduces Lu Xun, another famous scholar in the Three Kingdoms period.

Lu Xun, whose real name is Ming, was born in Wuxian in 183. Lu is one of the four gentry in Jiangdong. Lu Xun lost his father in his early years and lived alone with his grandfather and Lu Kang, the satrap of Lujiang. Later, Yuan Shu was at odds with Lu Kang and asked Sun Ce to attack Lujiang. Knowing that there was no hope of winning, Lu Kang sent Lu Xun and his relatives back to Jiangdong. Although Lu Xun's qualifications are very shallow, he is several years older than Lu Kang's son Lu Ji, so he took on the responsibility of supporting the portal.

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan inherited his father's inheritance. He "recruited talents and appointed celebrities", and Lu Xun, 2 1 year-old, was recruited as Sun Quan's aide. At that time, there were also many refugees in Wujun and Huiji District. Lu Xun recruited some of their elites and used the rest to farm. For those thieves who don't accept zhaofu, Lu Xun invaded and put them down. At this time, there were more than 2,000 people under Lu Xun.

In 26 years, Lu Xun led the heroic armed general He Qi to pacify the thief and handsome him in Poyang, beheading thousands. After the war, Lu Xun was named General Ding Wei for his achievements. At the same time, Sun Quan married his niece to 34-year-old Lu Xun in order to win over the gentry in Jiangdong. Although the age of Sun Quan's niece is not recorded in the history books, Lu Xun is only one year younger than Sun Quan and one year older than Sun Ce small 8. This is an obvious political marriage.

From then on, Sun Quan paid more attention to this nephew's son-in-law, and Lu Xun did his best to serve him. He successively put down mountain thieves, crusaded against mountain thieves, moved mountains to plains, registered household registration, paid farming taxes, and selected strong men from them to join the army, winning more than 10 thousand soldiers, thus strengthening and consolidating Wu Dong's rule. Although Lu Xun was brilliant, he was not famous at that time.

In 29 years, Guan Yu launched the battle of Xiangfan, captured Pound and took the opportunity to besiege Fancheng. Sun Quan decided to sneak attack Jingzhou. In order to hide her eyes and ears, Monroe returned to Jianye after telling her illness. During this period, Lu Xun talked with him about Jingzhou, and Monroe praised him greatly. When Sun Quan asked who could conduct in Lukou, Monroe strongly recommended Lu Xun, saying, "Lu Xun has profound meaning, so he can bear the burden. By observing his rules and regulations, he can take on great responsibilities. There is no distant name that is not taboo by feathers, and it is repeated too much. If you use it, you can hide it from the outside, observe it from the inside, and then you can control it. " Sun Quan immediately worshipped 36-year-old Lu Xun as a partial general and a right general, instead of Monroe.

As soon as Lu Xun arrived at Lukou, he wrote a letter to Guan Yu and praised him. "The general's honor is enough to last forever. Although he is a teacher of Chengpu, Huaiyin takes Zhao's strategy and despises his talents. " After reading the letter, Guan Yu despised the scholar Lu Xun and completely lost his vigilance against Soochow. The troops used to guard Wu Dong were transferred to the front to deal with Cao Cao.

When Lu Xun saw that Jingzhou was ripe, he immediately reported to Sun Quan, who ordered Monroe and Lu Xun to split up and seize Jingzhou at the same time. In November, Lu Xun led the army to Jingzhou Public Security and Nanjun, and was appointed as the prefect by Sun Quan. Worship General Fubian and make him Hua Houting. Then Lu Xun and Lv Meng quickly pacified Jingzhou and blocked Guan Yu's way back to Sichuan. After Guan Yu was killed, Lu Xun recruited tens of thousands of Shu troops before and after his capture. Sun Quan immediately appointed him as the right back.

In the battle of Yiling, the Shu army was defeated. If Fu Tong, the general who defended Shu at that time, had not fought to the death, Liu Bei would have died. According to historical records, the Shu army "took the boat equipment, stepped on the water, waited for a moment, and the remnants of the army went down the river." Liu Bei was defeated by Lu Bu and Cao Cao all his life, but today he was defeated by a white-faced scholar. He said angrily and bitterly, "It was my son who was humiliated, not an accident from heaven!" " "

In 28 years, Zhou Fu, the prefect of Poyang, wrote to Cao Xiu, the general of Cao Wei, falsely claiming that he would abandon Wu and surrender Wei, and asked Cao Wei to send troops to meet the enemy. Cao Xiu thought it was a good opportunity to attack Wudong, so he set off with 65,438+10,000 cavalry. Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief and attacked Cao Xiu with 60,000 troops. Wu in the array, and power in the array, Wei Jun was defeated. Wei Jun lost, followed by Lu Xun and other governors, who captured more than 10,000 people in Wei Jun with countless weapons. Thanks to Jia Kui's help, Cao Xiu survived and soon died of anger.

When Lu Xun transferred his troops through Wuchang, Sun Quan "ordered the imperial cover to cover the sun and go in and out of the temple gate. Everything I give you is precious, you can't compare with it. " In 29 years, Sun and Lu Xun were honored as generals and right generals. Sun Quan listened to Lu Xun and trusted him very much. In 24 years, Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as Prime Minister to take charge of the National Government.

But soon, Lu Xun was involved in the dispute between Sun Quan's two sons, Prince Sun and Sun Ba, and Lu Xun supported the Prince. But Sun Quan listened to the slanderers and decided to abolish the Prince. Sun Quan flew into a rage when Lu Xun wrote against the abolition of officials. First, it restricted Lu Xun's freedom of entry and exit, and then it accused Lu Xun's nephew Gu Tan, Gu Cheng and other immigrants of being attached to the prince. Not long after, a teacher wrote several letters to Lu Xun, but he was put in prison and executed.

Since then, Sun Quan sent eunuchs to severely punish Lu Xun. Lu Xun knew he was going to die and finally died in February 245 at the age of 63. After Lu Xun's death, Sun Quan also sent someone to question Lu Xun's second son, Lu Kang. Lu Kang, then 20, thought Sun Quan was relieved. But it was not until Sun Xiu succeeded to the throne that Lu Xun was sought after.

Although Lu Xun died, his son grew up and became a celebrity of the State of Wu. Since then, their father and son have been brought into the Wu Temple together, becoming a rare noble father and son in the Wu Temple. Gao Shi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "Being surprised is glorious. Lian Zhen is a righteous man and Lu Xun is a scholar. "
