However, in Chen Shou's pen, there are two people who are the most special. The two of them are not emperors, because they are very important in their respective camps, and no one can rank with their contributions. Therefore, the sheets are passed independently. These two people are Zhuge Liang from Xishu and Lu Xun from Dongwu. Needless to say, Zhuge Liang has been touted to heaven by future generations for thousands of years. Today I will share with you Dongwu Lu Xun. If you read Lu Xun carefully, you will know why Chen Shou biographed him alone.
1. Swept across the Shu and Wei, two battles stunning Dongwu
After Sun Quan inherited his father and brother’s business, the man he relied on most in the military was Zhou Yu; after Zhou Yu died, Sun Quan relied on Lu Su; after Lu Su died, Sun Quan faction Lv Meng was entrusted by Lu Kou, and Lv Meng fulfilled his entrustment and defeated Guan Yu, but then died of serious illness.
In 221 AD, under the pretext of avenging Guan Yu, Liu Bei dispatched 50,000 troops to attack Soochow, regardless of the dissuasion of Zhuge Liang and Zhao Yun. Although Sun Quan had long been mentally prepared, Lv Meng had passed away from illness, and there was no commander-in-chief on the Soochow front. Sun Quan remembered that Lu Meng had recommended Lu Xun to Sun Quan before his death, so Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun to be the chief governor and let him lead 50,000 troops to resist Liu Bei's pawn.
In Jiangdong, there is no shortage of people who can conquer battles, and Lu Xun is relatively junior, and his military talents are not outstanding. Therefore, when Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as the commander, no matter whether it was Jiangdong old general or clan nobles, they were not convinced. Therefore, Lu Xun was cautious in the army and never dared to easily tell his true thoughts. Next, Liu Bei besieged Sun Huan on the barbarian road, and Lu Xun did not send troops to rescue; Liu Bei invited several times to fight, but Lu Xun stood firm and refused to send troops. Everyone thought that Lu Xun was timid and despised him even more. Who knows, Lu Xun deliberately did this to make Liu Bei underestimate the enemy. In the end, the fire burned the company camp for seven hundred miles, and Liu Bei was beaten to the point that he lost his helmet and unloaded his armor.
Since then, Liu Bei has been devastated. Two years later, Liu Bei died of illness in Baidi City. It can be said that Lu Xun directly caused Liu Bei's death.
The battle of Yiling won a big victory, and it did not make all the old Soochow generals shut their mouths. Although some people sighed in their hearts, they still did not forget to say that Lu Xun was lucky. Six years later, Lu Xun once again used a hearty victory, leaving everyone speechless.
In 228 AD, the Wu general Zhou Bui surrendered to Cao Xiu. Cao Xiu suffered a big loss and became angry. He led a hundred thousand soldiers to attack Soochow. Sun Quan hurriedly ordered Lu Xun as the chief governor, leading his army to fight. Lu Xun defeated Cao Xiu in one fell swoop at Shiting.
Cao Xiu is the great Sima of Cao Wei. He has defeated Soochow many times and is one of the pillars of Cao Wei's military. The first time he fought with Lu Xun, he was beaten by Lu Xun, showing the horror of Lu Xun's strength. After the Battle of Shiting, Cao Xiu ran away and died, but eventually died of shame. The culprit of Cao Xiu's death was Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was a fledgling newcomer, and the burning company defeated Liu Bei. From then on, Xishu no longer used force against Dongwu easily.
Lu Xun played again and taught Cao Xiu to be a man in Shiting. From then on, Cao Wei stopped going south in 20 years. Among the three kingdoms of
, only Lu Xun was the general who was able to sweep through the Wei Dynasty and achieve victory. Lu Xun's amazing performance also allowed him to surpass his predecessors such as Zhou Yu, Lu Su, and Lu Meng. Therefore, when Lu Xun returned from Shiting, Sun Quan invited the officials and danced with Lu Xun, creating a story of "Undressing and Dancing".
Second, the generals enter the phase. After the first person of the Soochow group,
, swept across the Shu and Wei Dynasty, his position in Jiangdong increased sharply. In 229 AD, in order to praise Lu Xun for his contribution to Soochow, Sun Quan named Lu Xun the "General of the Supreme". From then on, Lu Xun became the only "General of Shanghai" in the history of Soochow. Because before Lu Xun, there was no such position. In order to reward Lu Xun, Sun Quan specially set up the post of "Shangda General", which was higher than San Gong. The establishment of a post for one person shows that Lu Xun's status is detached.
In the same year, Sun Quan made a tour of the east, and the prince Sun Deng stayed behind. Sun Quan was worried about Sun Deng's lack of seniority, so he transferred Lu Xun from Jingzhou back to Jiankang to assist Sun Deng in handling military and political affairs. Not only that, Sun Quan also asked all the princes to follow Lu Xun's teachings. Sun Quan Leaving BeijingLater, when Jianchang Hou Sunlu caused trouble with duck fighting, Lu Xun severely taught Sun Lu and ordered Sun Lu to demolish the duck stall. You know, Sun Lu is Sun Quan's second son, and Lu Xun's ability to teach Sun Lu so easily is enough to prove his status.
Sun Quan’s younger brother Sun Yi has a son named Sun Song. This man relied on being Sun Quan’s nephew. He was undisciplined in the army all day. Once he was hit by Lu Xun. Lu Xun shaved Sun Song in front of everyone. Sun Song’s face was lost because of her hair. But throughout Jiangdong, including the clan princes, no one dared to speak for Sun Song.
Later, when Sun Quan returned to Beijing, the prince Sun Deng personally reported to Sun Quan that Lu Xun was loyal and hardworking. In other words, although Lu Xun treated the princes and princes harshly, everyone, including the prince Sun Deng, believed that Lu Xun was upright and not disloyal. Since ancient times, auxiliary ministers have been difficult to do, and it is very rare for Lu Xun to do so.
In 244 AD, after the death of Gu Yong, Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as prime minister. At this point, Lu Xun has "passed through the generals" and fulfilled the ancient scholar-official dream.
Although Lu Xun was in the prime minister, Lu Xun was really a pure minister in Sun Quan's mind?
3. The Wujun clan, Lu Xun and Sun Quan’s "same bed with different dreams"
is well known. The reason Sun Ce was able to occupy Jiangdong and become Jiangdong's hero was not Jiangdong Group but the so-called "Huaisi Group" that Sun Ce relied on. For example, Zhang Zhao, Zhuge Jin, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others all came from Huaisi "Nandu", while Lu Xun did not come from the Huaisi Group, he himself was from a prominent family in Jiangdong. When the Huaisi Group "crossed from the south" to Jiangdong, the Jiangdong tribe was massacred and suppressed by the Huaisi Group. In other words, from the very beginning, Lu Xun was not a direct line of Sun Quan.
Lu Xun's father died early, and his grandfather Lu Kang (prefect of Lujiang) single-handedly brought Lu Xun up. When Sun Ce besieged Lujiang, Lu Kang resisted Sun Ce for two years. Later, he died of illness. In order to defend Lujiang, Lu Xun's people sacrificed more than half. Sun Ce’s foundation in Jiangdong was laid with blood and bones, and Lu Xun’s clansmen actually had enemies with Sun Ce.
Lu Xun is neither a descendant of Huaisi, but also has an antagonism with the Sun family. Although Sun Quan tried to re-use Lu Xun against all opinions, the combination of Sun Quan and Lu Xun was not necessarily strong.
In addition, Lu Xun’s political views are different from those of Sun Quan. Lu Xun believes in Confucianism, and he advocates being tolerant to the people and putting moral first. Sun Quan, like Cao Cao, advocated legalists' "only talents are used" and put talents before morals. Therefore, Lu Xun has repeatedly criticized Sun Quan for improper employment, and Sun Quan also disagrees with Lu Xun’s political views. Once, Sun Quan once said to Zhuge Jin: "Lu Xun is good at calculating. This is probably his fatal flaw."
On the other hand, Lu Xun is somewhat conservative. Lu Xun believed that with Soochow's strength, he could only stick to Jiangdong. Sun Quan was committed to the world. Sun Quan repeatedly planned to expedition to the north and unify the world, while Lu Xun opposed it. Even after Lu Xun defeated Cao Xiu, he opposed the Northern Expedition, believing that Dongwu did not have the strength to destroy Cao Wei.
To sum up, in terms of talents, Lu Xun was the same in Soochow. But Sun Quan did not absolutely trust Lu Xun, because no emperor could have a relationship with someone whose political views were completely different from his own. Sun Quanzhong's use of Lu Xun, on the surface is intimate, but in fact "the same bed with different dreams."
In the dispute between the fourth and second houses, Lu Xun never wanted to be alone. Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the eldest son has inherited the ancient tradition. Sun Quan’s eldest son was named Sun Deng. After Sun Quan became the throne, Sun Quan became the prince. However, because Sun Quan did not have a queen at the beginning, Sun Deng only accounted for a "long" character, not a "di" character.
9 years after Sun Quan ascended the throne, his love concubine trainer passed away. Sun Quan was very sad, and he was named the queen of step trainer. This is the so-called queen of step. However, Empress Bu has no sons, only two daughters, namely Sun Luban and Sun Luyu.
In other words, in the traditional sense, Sun Quan's son is not divided into concubines.
In 241 AD, Sun Quan’s eldest son and prince Sun Dengying died young at the age of 33. Sun Quan’s second son, Sun Li, died 9 years ago. Sun Quan’s third son, Sun He, became the nominal eldest son. Therefore, in AD 242, Sun He was established as the prince.
Because Sun Quan’s four sons, Sunba, was doted by Sun Quan since he was a child, he was about the same age as the prince. After Sun Quan established Sun He as the prince, he immediately made Sun Ba the King of Lu. Two agesSimilar sons, one is the prince and the other is the prince, which is normal. But strangely, there is no difference in etiquette between Sun He and Sun Ba. The two "are in the same palace and have no separation of ritual ranks." The ministers felt that this would inevitably lead to the abolishment of the emperor's etiquette, so they suggested Sun Quan intervene.
Sun Quan finally established respect and inferiority for the two. Since then, Sun He is the crown prince, and Sun Ba's treatment has been worsening. Unconvinced, Sun Ba secretly wins over his confidant courtiers, intending to bring down his brother Sun He. This can be regarded as the so-called "Second House Controversy."
Sun Ba is a sleek man, his party members are all over the court and the opposition, among which the most powerful is the princess Sun Luban. Sun Luban and the prince's mother, Mrs. Wang, have always had a bad relationship, so Sun Luban has long wanted to find a chance to bring down the prince. Once, Sun Quan sent the prince Sun He to the ancestral temple to worship, and Sun He then invited the prince's uncle Zhang Xiu (Zhang Zhao's son) to go with him. After Sun Luban heard this, he immediately filed a complaint with Sun Quan, saying that the prince did not go to sacrifice at all, but went to the old man's house to "see big things".
You must know that the Crown Prince Zhang is the granddaughter of Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin's granddaughter. The power of relatives should not be underestimated. Sun Quan heard that the prince had gone to the prince's natal family, and when he was ill, he immediately became suspicious. If the prince relied on Zhang and Zhuge to rebel against the palace, there would be no way for Sun Quan to survive. Thus, Sun Quan began to neglect the prince and get close to Sun Ba.
Sun He saw that he fell out of favor step by step, and his younger brother got closer and closer to the crown prince, Sun He became nervous.
Sun He wanted to save the defeat, he thought of a big man-Lu Xun.
At this moment, Lu Xun's grand nephew, Lu Yin, was about to be sent to Wuchang. Sun He and Lu Yin met and asked Lu Yin to give Lu Xun a message and beg Lu Xun to protect himself.
Lu Xun is not only a famous general, he is also a wise man in Jiangdong. When the prince Sun Liang was still alive, Lu Xun was ordered to assist Sun Liang. Since Sun Liang passed away, Lu Xun has been away. He never contacted the prince easily, because he was afraid of causing trouble to his upper body. Even during the second house dispute, Lu Xun did not easily express his opinions. But now, he has been involved, and he can no longer be alone.
is the Prince on one side and Wang Lu on the other. How does Lu Xun choose? Lu Xun believes in Confucianism. Of course, he chooses the prince, because the prince is orthodox and he is famous.
So, Lu Xun delivered the memorial to the capital together, with the content saying: Prince
is orthodox, it is better to have a solid stone, and the servants of the king of Lu, when the ranks of the pets are different, they should get in touch with each other and enjoy peace. I would kowtow to bleed to smell.
After Sun Quan received Lu Xun's memorial, his first reaction was shock. Sun Quan thought to himself: Lu Xun knew about the inner palace affairs in Wuchang, Lu Xun stretched his hand long enough?
Five, Cheng Ye Sun Quan, defeat Sun Quan
and Lu Xun saw that Sun Quan did not reply to himself, and played one after another. Sun Quanren couldn't bear it, and said angrily in the court: "Bo Yan (Lu Xun) threatens me?"
Obviously, Lu Xun thought he was loyal to admonish, but Lu Xun was in great power in Dongwu. He directly intervened in the affairs of the prince and asked Sun Quan. Very upset. In Sun Quan's view, Lu Xun was threatening himself.
Not long after, Lu Xun's two nephews, Gu Tan and Gu Cheng, were imprisoned by Sun Quan and eventually exiled to the state. The charge is "pretending to be a leader." The thing about
is very strange:
first, Gu Tan and Gu Cheng have been under Lu Xun's command, saying that they are pretending to lead the military, in fact, it is better to say that Lu Xun is partial to relatives.
Second, Lu Xun is the governor of the Eastern Wu. Sun Quan wants to punish the two generals under Lu Xun, and he is also Lu Xun’s nephew. It stands to reason that he should also say hello to Lu Xun in advance, but Sun Quan did not give Lu Xun any news beforehand. Embarrassed Lu Xun. After
happened, Lu Xun finally learned about Sun Quan's attitude towards him. Sun Quan was suppressing himself. Next, the prince Tai Fu Wucan was sentenced to death by Sun Quan for "disobedience" because of several correspondences with Lu Xun. When Lu Xun received the news, his back was chilled. He knew that Sun Quan had already dealt with himself.
All the birds are gone, good bows are hidden; the cunning rabbits die, the lackeys cook.
Lu Xun worked all his life for Soochow, following Sun Quan for more than forty years, but in the end he was so jealous that Lu Xun was very puzzled.
To deal with Lu Xun, Sun Quan beat Lu Xun again and again, making Lu Xun gloomy all day long. In 245 AD, Lu Xun was frustrated and could not afford to be ill. In the end, he was mad at death because of his stress.
Lu Xun wanted to create a generation of monarchs with Sun QuanHowever, things are counterproductive. The story of dancing with Sun Quan in undressing clothes has long since passed away with the rolling Yangtze River.
Jiangdong Lu Boyan, success is also Sun Quan, and defeat is also Sun Quan!
