Lu Meng is the chief governor of Wu after Zhou Yu and Lu Su. During his lifetime, he left someone with this sentence: Three days before the scholars, they should treat each other with admiration. Lu Meng's greatest characteristic is "diligence can make up for one's weakness." But as a military commander, why did he die shortly after killing Guan Yu? Is this Sun Quan's idea?
Lv Meng began to follow Sun Ce to conquer the South and the North. With his personal talent, he changed from a soldier to a general. After Sun Quan became the ruler of Wu, he continued to be reused and became the main leader of Wu. In 219 AD, Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought a battle to capture Hanzhong. After Cao Jun was defeated, he assembled an army to attack Jingzhou, which was guarded by Guan Yu alone. At first, Guan Yu beat Cao Jun to the ground, but Wu Guo beat Guan Yu from behind and occupied Jingzhou.
Lu Meng became the commander-in-chief of the sneak attack on Guan Yu, and he personally led the army to stabb Guan Yu in the back. With the fall of the city, Guan Yu had to defeat Maicheng, and eventually died at the hands of Wu Jun. Lu Meng died a few months after Guan Yu died. Is this Sun Quan's idea? Sun Quan did not want to see the result of Guan Yu's disposal. After all, Liu Bei and Guan Yu are very close to each other, and the consequences of doing so will form a relationship with Liu Bei.
Lu Meng’s approach actually violated Sun Quan’s original intention. After Lu Meng seized Jingzhou, his reputation in the country was quite high. He was in charge of the military alone, which made Sun Quan need to be jealous. Was Lu Meng's death Sun Quan's idea? "Three Kingdoms" records: Lu Meng died of a sudden illness, his perennial involvement in state affairs led to overwork and illness, and died at the age of 42. Although Sun Quan said he was dissatisfied with Lu Meng's actions, there is no record of Sun Quan directly killing him.
