According to the description of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lu Meng crossed the river in white and attacked Jingzhou . After Guan Yu was defeated and was captured by Maicheng, he refused Sun Quan and surrendered, and Sun Quan ordered the killing of Guan Gong . Sun Quan collected all the lands in Jingxiang, held a banquet for the generals, and rewarded the three armies. When Sun Quan gave Lu Meng wine, Lu Meng was suddenly possessed by Guan Gong, threw the cup to the ground, grabbed Sun Quan and cursed, and then fell to the ground and died of bleeding from his seven orifices.
What's going on? I wonder if the teachers and friends felt a little terrifying when they saw this? What is the situation of "Blooding and dying from seven orifices"? Could it be that Guan Gong really appeared and the ghost killed Lu Meng? But in theory, if Guan Gong showed up, he should have killed Sun Quan. Putting aside the theory of gods and ghosts, judging from the situation where Lu Meng died, he could only die of poisoning. How did Lu Meng get poisoned? Obviously, he wouldn't be poisoned when eating and drinking with everyone, but Sun Quan was extremely poisoned when he gave him wine. Yes, the problem lies in the glass of wine where Lu Meng "throws the cup to the ground". If this is the case, it is Sun Quan gave Lu Meng a poisonous wine, and it was a "quick-effect" poisonous wine . Lu Meng responded after the wine was drunk. It is not difficult to explain the series of actions of Lu Meng "throwing the cup to the ground, grabbing Sun Quan and cursing, falling to the ground and bleeding and dying with blood." But did Sun Quan have a motive to kill Lu Meng? Lu Meng had just taken back Jingzhou and made extraordinary contributions to Eastern Wu! Why did Sun Quan kill Lu Meng? And he was impatient to kill Lu Meng in public at the celebration banquet?
First of all, we can rule out the possibility of Lu Meng's rebellion. If so, Sun Quan could completely kill Lu Meng with justification, and there was no need to poison Lu Meng at the celebration banquet to make him die inexplicably, and he could not explain to the ministers. He could only make Guan Gong appear and humiliate Sun Quan's play.
Is that because Lu Meng made this great contribution, his great achievements shocked the master, and Sun Quan wanted to abandon him? This one is probably not true. Lu Meng was the third governor after Zhou Yu and Lu Su . During the Zhou Yu period, Sun Quan might still have the potential to be unstable. By the Lu Meng period, Sun Quan's status had been consolidated, and the Eastern Wu was completely under Sun Quan's control. Lu Meng could not threaten Sun Quan, not to mention that rising stars such as Lu Xun can already stand alone, so this must not be the reason why Sun Quan wanted to kill Lu Meng.
Then we can only bring back our perspective and return to the incident of taking Jingzhou and killing Guan Yu. Let’s talk about the capture of Jingzhou first. Whether it is the strategy of occupying Jiangdong, Jingxiang, Yizhou and Cao Wei proposed by Zhou Yu and Gan Ning to Sun Quan, or the strategy of occupying Jiangdong and Jingxiang when Lu Su first met Sun Quan, forming a confrontation between the north and the south, waiting for an opportunity to seize the world, they all attach great importance to Jingzhou. Occupy Jingzhou can be said to be something Sun Quan longed for in his heart. From the comments made by Sun Quan and Lu Xun when he discussed with Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Meng, "Although I was advised to borrow the land of Xuande , it is one of its shortcomings." It can be seen from Sun Quan's dissatisfaction with Liu Bei occupying Jingzhou, and his inner desire for Jingzhou. Therefore, it is really a great achievement for Sun Quan to regain Jingzhou. There is only a heavy reward and no possibility of poison killing.
has analyzed this step, and it can be seen that the problem of Lu Meng's death can only lie in the "killing Guan Yu". According to the description of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sun Quan persuaded him to surrender, and Guan Yu refused to surrender and scolded Sun Quan. Sun Quan still wanted to treat Guan Yu with courtesy. Under the persuasion of Lord Bo Zuo Xian, Sun Quan pondered for a while before ordering Guan Yu to behead him. Teachers and friends will say that it seems that the matter of "killing Guan Yu" has nothing to do with Lu Meng. It was under Zuo Xian's persuasion that Sun Quan ordered the beheading. This is true. If we accept the theory of ghosts and gods, it can only be Guan Gong’s soul-catching Lu Meng. But if we do not follow the theory of ghosts and gods, we can only analyze it from "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".
Wei, Shu and Wu are strong and two weak. The condition for a three-legged stalemate is that the two weak alliances fight one strong. Of course, there is also a struggle between the two weak alliances, but before that, both sides fought but failed. As recorded in the 20th year of Jian'an, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei for Jingzhou because Liu Bei had already obtained Yizhou. Liu Bei proposed to return to Jingzhou after he obtained Liangzhou.So Sun Quan sent Lu Meng to capture the three counties including Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, etc., while Liu Bei led 50,000 troops to the public security, and Guan Yu entered Yiyang . The war between the two sides seemed to be about to break out. After Liu Bei heard the news that Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong , he immediately made peace with Sun Quan, and the two sides redivided the sphere of influence in Jingzhou.
From the 20th year of Jian'an, we can see that Sun Quan's strategy is to seize Jingzhou, and Sun Liu Alliance could not be completely destroyed. At that time, Sun Quan had the strongest sense of existence crisis, otherwise he would not have been sanctioned to Cao Wei from time to time. Maybe his plan was to regain Jingzhou and capture Guan Yu, but as long as Guan Yu did not die, there would be a talk between Sun and Liu, and the Sun and Liu alliance could still maintain a situation of fighting without breaking. But Lu Meng did not understand Sun Quan's strategy and took his own initiative to kill Guan Yu, which completely destroyed the Sun-Liu alliance. And the Eastern Wu is in danger again.
We can imagine: At that time, Sun Quan wanted to tell Liu Bei loudly: "I didn't kill Guan Yu, it was Lu Meng who did this by not listening to the hello. I will kill Lu Meng to avenge Guan Yu now." But as a prince of a party, Sun Quan could not do this. If he did this openly, where would Wu Jun have the face? Who in the Eastern Wu will still work hard for him? So there was the scene at the beginning of this article, and a glass of poisoned wine was given to Lu Meng, leaving at least a glimmer of opportunity to negotiate peace with Liu Bei. Lu Meng was no longer Wu Xia A Meng. After drinking the poisonous wine, he immediately understood what was going on. He used Guan Gong to possess him and scolded Sun Quan, but he also covered up for Sun Quan to achieve a good result for his descendants.
