As we all know, the four great governors of the Eastern Wu refer to the four people: Zhou Yu , Lu Su , Lu Xun , and Lu Meng . During the late Han and the Three Kingdoms period, the four great generals of the Eastern Wu were both civil and military, and were no less than those of the Shu Han Five Tigers and the Cao Wei Five Sons. Among the four great governors of the Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu's battle to become famous was Battle of Red Cliffs , which laid the foundation for the three kingdoms' triumph. Lu Meng's battle to become famous was to attack Guan Yu , seize , Jingzhou , and realize that the Eastern Wu was fully occupied by the Yangtze River. As for Lu Xun, the Battle of Yiling was his famous battle. In this battle, Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei , severely damaged Shu Han, and consolidated the results of seizing Jingzhou. So, the question is, the four commanders of the Eastern Wu, Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and Lu Meng, all had a battle to become famous, so what about Lu Su? In other words, among the four major governors of the Eastern Wu, what achievements did Lu Su have? Why is he as famous as Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and Lu Meng?

First, Lusu (172-217), whose courtesy name is Zijing, was from Dongcheng County, Linhuai County (now Dingyuan, Anhui). After the Battle of Red Cliff, Lu Su was often compared to the founding fathers of the Eastern Han Dynasty - Deng Yu . As for Deng Yu, Deng Yu studied in Chang'an when he was young and had a good time with Liu Xiu . In the first year of Gengshi (23rd year), Liu Xiu visited Hebei, and Deng Yu went to follow him, proposing to "recruit heroes, please the people, establish the cause of Emperor Gaozu, and save the lives of all people." Deng Yu assisted Liu Xiu in establishing the Eastern Han Dynasty and "setting Hebei and pacifying Guanzhong again", which made outstanding contributions. Therefore, it is very obvious that Lu Su prefers strategic planning rather than leading his army to fight. Therefore, Sun Quan gave the positioning of Lu Su similar to Deng Yu. Of course, although it was not director of Lu Su to lead the army to fight, as the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Wu, Lu Su also had his own combat experience. Among them, in my opinion, Lu Su's battle to become famous was undoubtedly a confrontation with Guan Yu, the leader of the Five Tiger General of Shu Han in 215 AD. Through the confrontation with Guan Yu, Lu Su prompted Liu Bei to take the initiative to divide Changsha County, Jingzhou, Guiyang County, and Dongwu.

Specifically, after the Battle of Red Cliff, the three major forces, Cao Cao , Sun Quan and Liu Bei, divided the land of Jingzhou. Among them, in the place where Zhou Yu died of illness and Liu Bei took Yizhou west, Lu Su and Guan Yu were both guarding Jingzhou because the territory of Sun and Liu were intertwined and friction occurred many times. Lu Su takes the overall situation into consideration and always comforts both sides with a friendly attitude. However, facing the strong Guan Yu, Lu Su did not lose the interests of the Eastern Wu. After Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, Sun Quan asked Liu Bei to return Jingzhou, but this was rejected by Liu Bei, leaving behind the allusion of " Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou , borrowed but not returned." Here, Lu Meng led his army to attack Jingzhou. After Liu Bei learned the news, he personally led his army from Yizhou to Jingzhou to support Guan Yu. Correspondingly, Sun Quan also entered Lukou from Moling and sent Lu Su to lead 10,000 people to Yiyang to confront Guan Yu.

As we all know, Guan Yu is the leader of the Five Tiger Generals of Shu Han, he is brave and good at fighting, but in the process of confronting Lu Su, Guan Yu did not get any advantage. Against this background, Lu Su invited Guan Yu to meet for the overall situation. It is different from the single sword meeting in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". In official history such as " Three Kingdoms ", Lu Su was not at all inferior when he met Guan Yu. After that, because Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, Liu Bei was afraid of losing Yizhou and sent someone to make peace with Sun Quan. In the end, Sun and Liu sides formed a plan to " Xiangshui demarcate " on the issue of land ownership in Jingzhou, that is, Sun Quan and Liu Bei divided Jingzhou equally with Xiangshui as the boundary. The three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang, belong to Sun Quan, and the three counties of Nanjun, Wuling, and Lingling belong to Liu Bei. During the demarcation of the Xiang River, Lu Su fought hard and held confrontations and talks with Guan Yu, thus becoming an important hero who could eventually erode Jingzhou. Furthermore, Lu Su played an important role in this war without gunpowder.

Finally, the "Book of Wu" records: "Sui is strict and has no choice but to play with others, frugality inside and outside, and not good at customs. The military is governed and rectified, and the ban is required. Even if it is in the military, the volume will not be put down.He is also good at talking, can be written and written, has a broad mind, and has extraordinary wisdom. After Zhou Yu, Su was the best. "When Zhou Yu died, he told Sun Quan: "Lu Su was wise and had a little bit of responsibility, so he begged to replace Yu. "In this regard, in my opinion, Lu Su was as famous as Zhou Yu, Lu Xun and Lu Meng with his own strategy, especially his overall view and long-term planning ability, and became the Grand Governor of the Eastern Wu after Zhou Yu. Therefore, Lu Ji, a famous writer and calligrapher of the Western Jin Dynasty, said: "Zhou Yu, Lu Gong, Lu Su, and Lu Meng are in their hearts and make their own strengths." In this regard, in my opinion, compared with the other three, Lu Su is undoubtedly more trusted by Sun Quan, and the mutual trust between Sun Quan and Lu Su is almost accompanied by his life, and can be comparable to the relationship between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang . What do you think about this?
