Originally, Lu Deming wanted to take the team to find Zhou Enlai to participate in the Nanchang Uprising . However, when the troops arrived in Fengxin County, they learned that the uprising troops had gone south and had not caught up with the Nanchang Uprising, and because of Zhang Fakui's interception , And unable to contact the troops of the Nanchang Uprising, so the plan was changed and the troops were taken to Xiushui at the junction of the three provinces of Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi to rest on standby.

The original plan of the rebel army was to attack Changsha and other big cities. However, due to the lack of enemies and command errors, impure elements rebelled in , various rebel forces suffered successive setbacks and their attempts to attack Changsha failed.
So at the Wenjia City Front Committee meeting on September 19 of that year, Mao Zedong advocated abandoning the attack on Changsha and transferring the insurgents to the rural mountainous areas where the enemy's strength was weak. Lu Deming firmly supports Mao Zedong's proposition. Z7z believes that if we attack Changsha again, there is a danger of the entire army being wiped out. The important thing is to preserve the revolutionary forces first. After a fierce debate at the meeting, Mao Zedong's proposal was finally passed. In this key decision-making process, Lu Deming's opinion played an important role and became an important supporter of Mao Zedong's early independent entrepreneurship. When
