The Battle of Jingzhou, Lü Meng became famous in a battle, cleverly used a trick to successfully take Jingzhou, and killed Guan Yu, at this time Lü Meng embarked on the peak of his life, the prestige spread all over the world, no longer the "Wuxia Amon", but fate did not take care of him, soon after Lü Meng fell ill, then what was Lü Meng's last words on his deathbed?
Great deeds
Lü Menglian used a strategy to take Jingzhou and made great military achievements for Eastern Wu, and Sun Quan was very happy, so he appointed him as the Taishou of Nan Commandery and made him the Marquis of Xiaoling, giving him a lot of money.
In the face of such a huge reward, Lü Meng repeatedly resigned, refusing to accept money, Lü Meng felt that taking Jingzhou was the result of the joint efforts of all the soldiers, not the merit of him alone, so he delayed accepting the reward, but Sun Quan did not allow it, Sun Quan felt that it was indispensable to attack Jingzhou Lü Meng, so he had to accept the reward, and as a result, the knighthood had not yet been promulgated, and Lü Meng fell ill and could not afford to be sick ever since.
Sick and sick
At that time, Sun Quan was in the public security, and when he heard that Lü Meng's illness had occurred, he was very worried, so he ordered someone to take Lü Meng and place him in the inner temple, and tried every means to diagnose and treat him, and at the same time recruited doctors in the country, and those who could cure Lü Meng's disease were rewarded with thousands of gold. Sun Quan exhausted the method for Lü Meng treatment, invited a lot of domestic famous doctors, whenever he heard that the doctor acupuncture for Lü Meng, Sun Quan was very sad, Sun Quan wanted to check Lü Meng's condition, and was afraid of disturbing Lü Meng, so he ordered people to chisel through the wall to secretly watch Lü Meng, found that Lü Meng ate something, Sun Quan was very happy, and laughed at others, but if he found that Lü Meng was no longer eating, Sun Quan was depressed, sighed long and short, and even often insomnia.
Later, Lü Meng's condition improved under careful treatment, and Sun Quan was very happy when he heard about it, and he also issued a pardon order and asked the courtiers to come to celebrate Lü Meng. But the good times were not long, Lü Meng's condition soon worsened, like a disease, soup medicine, acupuncture did not work, the doctors were helpless, Sun Quan really had no way, he asked the Taoist priests to pray for Lü Meng under the stars, hoping to continue Lü Meng's life and increase Lü Meng's life, but with little effect.
So Sun Quan felt that Lü Meng might not have much time, so he went to Lü Meng's bed and asked, "If you can't get up and serve me anymore, who can replace you to guard Jiangling?" Lü Meng opened his eyes slightly, and said to Sun Quan: "Zhu Ran has courage and knowledge, and there is more than enough to keep his business, I think he can take my place", Sun Quan did not say anything more after listening, and left.
Lü Meng knew that his time was short, so he said to the people around him: "The gold and silver treasures and various rewards I have obtained over the years have been placed in the treasury, and after I die, you will return these things to the imperial court, and my funeral will be frugal, not too luxurious", and soon after, Lü Meng died of illness in Sun Quan's inner temple, only 42 years old, sun Quan learned that Lü Meng died of illness, and he was very sad. After Lü Meng's death, his son Lü Ba inherited his title and gave him three hundred households to guard the family's tomb, exempting him from receiving fifty hectares of land from his land.
So why did Lü Meng die of illness?
First, according to historical records, there was a plague in Jian'an in the twenty-fourth year, and it was very serious, when the plague spread to the territory of Jingzhou, and Sun Quan exempted the people from taxes for this, so some people speculated that Lü Meng died of the plague, because many people died of this plague that year.
Second, Lü Meng fought for many years, so he became ill with overwork, coupled with the busyness of official duties, and finally crushed his body, and the war wounds and diseases occurred at the same time, thus taking his life.
brief summary
Lü Meng is undoubtedly a generation of famous generals, but in the end, he could not escape the arrangement of fate, an illness took his life, which can be described as an untimely death, and He was jealous of talent.
