Zhou Yu , whose name is Gongjin , was born in Lujiang Shu (now Shucheng, Anhui) in 175 AD. He was born in a powerful Jiangnan gentry family. During the rebellion of Dong Zhuo, Zhou's father, who was ordered by the Luoyang , was killed by the rebels. When Sun Jian started an army and attacked Dong Zhuo, Zhou Yu and his mother moved from Luoyang to his hometown Shucheng . Zhou Yu and Sun Jian's son, Sun Ce, were of the same age, had similar intentions and had a close personal relationship. When Sun Ce was pacifying Jiangdong, Zhou Yu was the Central Guardian Army and the prefect of Jiangxia. He led his army to capture the children of Anhui (now Qianshan, Anhui), and captured the children of Qiaogong. One was the big bridge and the other was the small bridge (called Daqiao and Xiaoqiao in the Romance of the Romance of China). Both were stunning beauties and were the most beautiful. Sun Ce married Da Qiao and Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao. After Sun Ce was assassinated by Xu Gongjiake, Zhou Yu fully assisted Ce's younger brother Sun Quan. After years of hard fighting, he successively defeated the separatist forces of Jiang, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui today, and became the famous young commander of the Eastern Wu.
Lusu words Zijing . Born in 172 AD. Linhuai East City (now Dingyuan, Anhui). Lu Su's family belonged to the rich people in the Dongcheng area of Linhuai, with rich wealth. However, since no one from his ancestors became officials, the Lu family did not belong to the gentry class and could only be regarded as a local tyrant with some local forces.
Lu Su lost his father since childhood. Raised by his grandmother, this special life experience cultivated his ability to autonomy. When he was a teenager, Lu Su was open-minded, good at thinking independently, and had a certain political vision. Long before the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Lu Su had already seen clearly that there was a huge crisis within the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and had a premonition that the world was about to be in chaos. In order to make a difference in the upcoming social turmoil, Lu Su diligently practiced martial arts, was good at swordsmanship, and was good at riding and shooting. He no longer manages the family business, sells the land, and uses money to help the villagers and make friends with heroes. Lu Su was first appointed as the chief of Dongcheng by Yuan Shu, which was entrenched in Huainan , and was later introduced by Zhou Yu to serve Sun Ce, who was expanding territory in Jiangnan. After Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan again. Lu Su proposed to Sun Quan the " Dingzu Jiangdong " " bed top ". Lu Su's "The Strategy for the Couch" and Zhuge Liang's " Longzhong vs. " coincide with many views and are surprisingly consistent. It is worth mentioning that Lu Su's bed plan was 7 years earlier than Zhuge Liang's Longzhong qualifier.
In December 210, Zhou Yu, a famous strategist and military strategist in the Eastern Wu, passed away. Before his death, Zhou Yu strongly recommended Lu Su to take over his position as Governor Wu. During the reign of the Grand Governor, Lu Su had a long-term vision and unswervingly adhered to the Sun Liu Alliance, showing the extraordinary ability of an outstanding military strategist, politician and diplomatic activist.
Lu Meng , whose courtesy name is Ziming, was from Fupi, Runan County (now Funan , Anhui). He was born in a poor family and joined the army. He could not recognize a few words. He was ridiculed as " Wuxia Amon " . According to historical records, when Lu Meng was young, he did not learn calligraphy and history and was not easy to write. Every time he entered the court to report important events, he often used oral statements instead of memorials. Although Lu Meng is not educated, he is extremely intelligent, humble and studious, and has the ability to remember everything he sees. Because of his bravery and wisdom in combat, Lu Meng was appreciated and promoted by Sun Quan. He was successively appointed as Sima of other departments, Duwei of Pingbei, Magistrate of Guangde County, Prefect of Hanchang, Prefect of HTML, and Prefect of Nanjun, and was granted the title of Marquis of Chanling. After Lu Su's death, Lu Meng replaced him in Lukou (now Hankou ) and commanded more than 10,000 troops from Lu Su's troops. Lu Meng's most famous and classic record is " crossing the river in white clothes , attacking Jingzhou , and capturing Guan Yu ". At the end of 219 AD, Lu Meng died of illness at the age of 42.
Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Meng are also known as the "Three Heroes of Jiangzuo". Including the younger Lu Xun , it should be the "Four Heroes of the Eastern Wu".So, what are the characteristics of each of the three heroes? Who is the most powerful?
Sun Quan on the Three Heroes: The Emperor of Wu Sun Quan once talked to Lu Xun about Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lu Meng:
"Gongjin is virtuous, brave and courageous, so he defeated Mengde and opened Jingzhou. It is difficult to continue. You are here now."...
Sun Quan's general meaning is: Zhou Yu is virtuous and brave, and he is extremely brave. Finally (in Chibi) defeated Cao Cao and opened (aggregated) Jingzhou. It is difficult to unify such a distant place, but now you (Lu Xun) have unified it...
... "Gongjin once asked Zijing to come to the east, and to achieve the orphans and talk to the poor, and to spread the cause of the emperor. This is a quick thing. Later, Meng De was the momentum of obtaining Liu Cong , Zhang Yanfang led hundreds of thousands of people to step down. Gu asked all the generals to consult the place, but there was no time to respond. When he arrived at Zibu and Wenbiao ( Zhang Zhao , Qin Song ), they all said that they should send an envoy to welcome him. Zijing refuted that he could not say anything and persuaded Gu to call Gongjin urgently, and gave him the crowd and attacked him against him. These two quick things were. Moreover, his decision and strategy meant that Zhang and Su ( Warring States Strategy Zhang Yi , Su Qin ) was far away "; although I later advised me to lend my place to Xuande (instruct me to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei ), it was one of its shortcomings and was not enough to damage the second strength."...
Sun Quan's words affirmed the main battle opinions of Lu Su's couch and before the outbreak of the Red Cliff Battle, but reversed the case of his strong advocate of borrowing Jingzhou to Liu Bei. Objectively speaking, Sun Quan's accusations were unfair. The reason why Lu Su firmly insisted on the Sun-Liu alliance was because he saw the defense of the alliance Maintenance and consolidation are related to the life and death of the Eastern Wu and the long-term interests. This is his extraordinary ability to look far and wide and not care about temporary gains and losses. Later, Sun and Liu got into evil, and although they fought for Jingzhou, it was not all Lu Su's fault.
Sun Quan also discussed Lu Meng:
"When Zi Ming was young, he said that he would not be able to quit and dare to be brave; when he grew up, his knowledge was promising, and his plan was relatively strange, which could be second to Gongjin, but he could not speak out about Ying. The picture of Guan Yu is better than Zijing. Zijing replied to the lonely book: "Emperors are driven away, and feathers are not enough to be taboo." This is a child who respects the inside and cannot distinguish it from the outside, and he is also sorry for it and does not blame him. However, when he was in the army, he stationed his camp without losing his orders, and he was prohibited. There was no abolition of the troops and no relic, and his methods were also beautiful."
When Lu Meng was young, I thought he was just unwilling to do so, not to avoid difficulties, and was brave and courageous. When he became an adult, his knowledge had great progress and his planning and strategy had a surprising victory, which could be said to be second only to Zhou Yu, but he was slightly inferior to (Gongjin) in his speech and spirit. He planned to seize Jingzhou and attack Guan Yu, and Lu Meng was better than Lu Su. In his reply to me, Lu Su said: "The rise of an emperor will be full of twists and turns, and there will be advances and retreats, so Guan Yu is not worth worrying." This is because Lu Su's lack of understanding of Guan Yu's character, so he just spoke big words in his mouth. I also forgive him and did not easily criticize him. However, Lu Meng governed his army , (club) camping has laws, orders must be executed, orders must be executed, orders are prohibited, there are no redundant personnel in the army (useless and useless people), and no relics are collected on the road. His method of governing the army is very efficient and very good.
From this we can see that in Sun Quan's mind, Zhou Yu is the most comprehensive among the "Three Heroes of the Eastern Wu", and ranks first in terms of literature and martial arts; Lu Meng is second, although he is slightly inferior to Zhou Yu, he is also outstanding in commanding troops and conquering cities and placing cities, and ranks second in comprehensively ; And Lu Su, known as the "Great Man of Jiangdong", is at the end in Sun Quan's eyes, which is a bit unfair. I think that in terms of comprehensive abilities and achievements, the rankings of Zhou Yu, Er Lu Su, San Lu Xun and Si Lu Meng are the most objective and fair (for limited space, I won't discuss them here).
