Lu Su was open-minded, decent, and extremely strategic, and treated people and things with sincerity, thus playing a crucial role in the establishment and consolidation of the alliance between Sun Quan and Liu Bei.
There are three things that can be seen about his personality:
First thing: Highly recommend Pang Tong.
Pang Tong, who had been ill-informed in Eastern Wu, came to Liu Bei's command, and Liu Bei appointed him as the Commander of Leiyang County. Pang Tong hated that the official position was too small and the position was too light, so he did not have much responsibility, so he did nothing all day, which made Liu Bei very angry, so he dismissed him.
After hearing that Pang Tong had been dismissed from his post, Lu Su, who was far away on the other side, wrote to Liu Bei strongly recommending Lu Su: "Pang Shiyuan is not a hundred miles away, so that he should show his ears when he is in charge of the middle and other driving. "People who don't know the merits of it still think that Pang Tong is a spy sent by Lu Su."
For the sake of a deceased person, Lu Su can be said to have broken his heart, and also witnessed his open-mindedness.
The second thing: persuade Sun Quan to borrow Jingzhou.
In order to further consolidate Sun Liu's alliance and jointly oppose the powerful Cao Cao in the north, Lu Su made a surprising move and actually persuaded Sun Quan to lend the strategic jingzhou to Liu Bei.
According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su's biography records: "The reserve capital saw the power and asked the capital to oversee Jingzhou, but Su persuaded the right to borrow it and reject cao gong together." Cao Gongwenquan prepared the land property, wrote a book, and wrote it on the ground. ”
This kind of strategic vision is not comparable to ordinary people, even Cao Cao himself is unbelievable, and after that, Cao Cao never had the idea of fighting Jingzhou in his lifetime.
The third thing: tolerance for Guan Yu. After Liu Bei entered Sichuan, Lu Su Tun Bing Lukou, and Guan Yu Tun Bing Public Security, the two sides are adjacent, many defense areas are also intertwined, which led to some misunderstandings or disputes, but Lu Su from the overall situation, has always tolerated, and always good words of persuasion, it is under Lu Su's generosity, and Guan Yu has been getting along well.
From the above three examples, it can be seen that later generations called Lu Su a strategist and diplomat, which can be described as deserved. Without an open-minded mind and a very broad strategic vision, where can these things be done?
