Lu Xun, real name Lu Yi, word Boyan. In the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, the Book of Wei and the Book of Shu are mostly recorded as Lu Xun, and only a few chapters such as the "Biography of Man Yu" and the "Biography of Wang Ji" are Lu Xun, but the Book of Wu has always recorded Lu Xun. In addition, the history books written by the Eastern Wu people, such as Wu Lu and Jiang Biaochuan, are all Lu Xun. However, as to when and why Lu Yi changed its name to "Sun", all the historical materials do not mention anything.
Lu Xun was the most prestigious commander of Eastern Wu, so like Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty, he was passed on as a single person in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the two had a common characteristic, that is, they were cautious in the use of soldiers. When Lu Xun fought, he always did not worry about victory, first worried about defeat, far-sighted thinking, never took risks, so he never lost a battle.
For example, after the defeat of Liu Bei at the Battle of Yiling, the Wu generals Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, and Song Qian all advocated taking the opportunity to attack Shu Han. Lu Xun thought that "Cao Pi daheshi congregation." Entrusting the outside to help the country to prepare, there is really a treacherous intention inside", only the troops were sent to chase Li Yi and Liu A's troops to the south bank of Zigui, and the main force of the Wu army was ready to defend Wei. Soon, the Wei army did send troops to attack Wu, but there was no opportunity to take advantage of it.
Lu Xun
For example, if Sun Quan wanted to occupy Yizhou and Zhuya, Lu Xun objected: "Thousands of miles of attack, unpredictable winds and waves, the people are easy to water and soil, it will cause disease and epidemic, now drive the public, through the lack of hair, want to gain more damage, want to benefit and harm." And the pearl cliff is extremely dangerous, and the people are like animals and beasts, and their people are not enough to help, and their soldiers are not enough to lose the people. "The result is indeed that Sun Quan's idea is too advanced, and the expedition is not worth the loss."
Because of his foresight, Lu Xun is also good at psychological warfare. When Lü Meng became worried because he could not deal with Guan Yu, Lu Xun did not find a way out, believing that "Yu Is angry, and he is angry with people." There was a great achievement, and the intention was proud and ambitious, but the northward advance was not against me, and if there was a disease, it would be beneficial and unprepared. Now it is unexpected, and it can be made of poultry."
Lü Meng praised this and recommended Lu Xun to replace him. Lu Xun took the opportunity to use the tactics of the arrogant soldiers to write a letter to praise Guan Yu, making him more and more paralyzed, "Yu Lanxun's book has the meaning of humility and self-congratulation, meaning great peace, and there is no suspicion of repetition." "The result was a careless loss of Jingzhou.
Zhuge Jin
Later, Sun Quan's northern expedition failed, and Lu Xun, who was in charge of Xiangyang's road, did not take Zhuge Jin's suggestion of rapid retreat, but did the opposite, "OrderIng Jin to supervise the boats and ships, Sun Xun learned of the soldiers and horses to xiangyang city." The enemy was so embarrassed that he went back to the city. Jin then led the ship out, And Xu Xu and the whole army, Zhang Tuo's momentum, the pace of the ship, the enemy did not dare to do it." Lu Xun bluffed, frightened the enemy in front of him, and successfully completed the retreat.
Of course, caution sometimes means being conservative. During the Battle of Shiting, the general Zhu Huan said: "Hugh Ben is a relative, and the non-wise and brave general is also." This battle will be defeated, defeat will go, go by the stones, trailers, these two roads are dangerous, if the road of ten thousand soldiers, then the other can be exhausted, and Hugh can be captured, please cut off all the troops. If The Heavenly Power is able to rest and serve himself, he can take advantage of the victory and drive forward, forge ahead in Shouchun, cut Huainan, and approve and promise, Luo, this time of the world, can not be lost. ”
Lu Xun thought the plan was too risky. At that time, the strength of the two sides was similar, the Wei army was 100,000, the Wu army was about 90,000, lu Xun felt that in this case, 10,000 people were drawn to ambush the enemy rear, trying to surround and annihilate the enemy army, which might lead to the defeat of the frontal battlefield, so he rejected this plan.
Zhu Huan
Between present-day Shucheng and Tongcheng County in Anhui Province, The Stone Pavilion was sandwiched by the three breads of Dabie Mountain, the Yangtze River, and Chaohu Lake, and to reach the Stone Pavilion, it was necessary to pass through the Jiaoshi Pass and The Trailer Ridge between Shucheng and Tongcheng, both of which were dangerous and narrow, and indeed as Zhu Huan said, it was a good place to set up an ambush.
As a result, Lu Xun's cautious result was that he did defeat the Wei army, annihilating more than 10,000 enemy troops, and capturing a large number of heavy weights, but it became a rout battle, and the Wei general Jia Kui took control of the jiashi in time, helping the main force of the Wei army to stabilize the position: "Kui is based on the stone, give Hugh the food, and the rest of the army is Zhen." We can't say that Lu Xun's approach was wrong, but after that, Eastern Wu really never had such an opportunity to annihilate the main force of the Eastern Front of the Wei State.
