Why did Zhou Yu and Lu Su's attitude towards Liu Bei be friendly and allies, while Lü Meng and Lu Xun changed to an offensive posture?
The reason why Zhou Yu and Lu Su are more respected than Lu Meng and Lu Xun is not because the first two are great benevolent people.
On the contrary, these two are veritable strategic responsibilities.
Everyone can talk about five-minute strategic planning, but being able to speak and being able to listen are two different things, being able to hear and being able to use are two different things, and being able to use and being able to use is not the same thing.
A good strategic plan should be persuasive, reasonable and feasible.
When Liu Biao died, Lu Su immediately suggested to Sun Quan that he send himself to Jingzhou to mourn, take the opportunity to find out the changes in the situation, and the movements of Liu Bei, Liu Jun, and Liu Qi, and draw together and divide according to the changes in the situation, so as to promote the purpose of Jingzhou still being able to resist the north and giving Sun Quan time to capture Jingzhou.
When Master Lu went to Xiakou to see Liu Qi, the news that Cao Cao had taken Jingzhou had already arrived, what should he do?
By Xiakou, Wen Cao Gong had already gone to Jingzhou, morning and night. Than to Nan County, and his cousin Ziqian had already descended to the Duke of Cao, ready to run in panic, wanting to cross the river south. Su Jing greeted him, went to Dangyang Changshan, and prepared a meeting, Xuan Teng Quan, and Chen Jiangdong was strong, and persuasion and power went hand in hand.
Lu Su did not ask Sun Quan at all, but went directly to meet Liu Bei.
His purpose was—to "persuade and power at the same time"—to help Jiangdong resist Cao Cao.
How fast is that?
The news of Jingzhou reached Xiakou, and Lu Su and Liu Qi were both in Xiakou, the former to meet Liu Bei in Dangyang, and the latter to Liu Bei on the Yangtze River. Therefore, historical records record that Lu Su's "Xuanteng power will" was actually a "false statement" that Master Lu made his own claim to appease Liu Beixin, and in fact he did not have time to return to Chaisang to ask for the will and go to Jingzhou again.
In other words, the combined forces of Cao Cao were later saved by Lu Su - Liu Bei was Lu Su's "self-made" to face Jiangdong; Zhou Yu was Lu Su's "assertive wisdom" and recommended Sun Quan to come back and conspire together.
Lu Su's attitude was very clear, Jiangdong could not independently resist Cao Cao, so Liu Bei was needed. When Liu Bei crossed Jing and Yi, and Sun Quan wanted to seize the three counties, do you see that Lu Su objected? Not only did he not object, but he was the commander of the three ways.
Zhou Yu and Liu Bei joined hands to complete the two major battles of Chibi and Nanjun, and had a deep understanding of Liu Bei's group. Although he wanted to annex Liu Bei's group, he would not choose to stab him in battles such as Chibi and Nanjun, but saw the golden opportunity of Liu Bei to enter Wu, so he persuaded Sun Quan to put Liu Bei under house arrest.
Lu Su and Zhou Yu are both very pragmatic strategic leaders, and they are absolutely unambiguous when it comes time to stab Liu Bei.
On one point, however, their attitude towards their allies will change, but their stance against Cao will not.
But Lü Meng and Lu Xun will.
Not only will, but also plot with the tiger and support Sun Quan in surrendering to Cao Cao in exchange for the opportunity to relieve the siege of Xiangfan for Cao Cao, backstab Liu Bei's group, and attack and kill Guan Yu.
What is obtained?
It was Cao Cao who betrayed Guan Yu for the first time by shooting his letter to Guan Yu.
After the siege of Xiangyang was lifted, the north watched the fire from the other side without pressure and left at any time.
After the lack of use value, it can only increase the stake to curry favor with Cao Cao.
After taking Jingzhou, he continued to use the military Yizhou to worry about the north.
Cao Cao died, Liu Bei went on a crusade, and feared that Cao Pi would attack.
In order to obtain the three county territories of his allies, Sun Quan rebelled against Cao Cao and Cao Pi in these years.
He was also beaten by Liu Bei and Cao Pi successively, and although he won in the end, he also understood that he was simply not capable of fighting the two enemies for a long time.
Sun Quan Group was not played to death during this period, and there was a great factor of luck.
Change to Zhou Yu and Lu Su, take the territory of the three counties, do you need to be so humiliating, so troublesome, so thrilling, so wise?
Even if Liu Bei engaged in an ally Liu Zhang, he was not to the point of bending to Cao Cao and begging to attack Yizhou, wasn't it?
Not to mention, Zhou Yu's dividing the world was when Cao Cao was defeated and temporarily unable to go south, and proposed to engage Liu Bei or Liu Zhang. Lu Su's support for the capture of the three counties was also carried out under the premise of internal contradictions in the alliance and maintaining resistance to Cao. This strategic approach maintains a good prospect of advancing into the north.
What did Lu Meng and Lu Xun give?
It was the Hanzhong, Xiangyang, and Hefei defense lines set up in the north, one was burst, the other was crumbling, and when the Central Plains was in turmoil, he went to stab his allies by saving Cao Cao and solving the siege of the north.
When the northern defense line is at its weakest, instead of going to the northern region to cut meat, but helping the north stabilize the situation and stabilize the situation, what is the spirit?
At least, this is at the expense of the strategic prospect of the south capturing the north.
Everyone can say five-minute strategy, but what is said is really divided into three, six, nine, etc.
Give you a strategy to increase your net worth by about one-fifth, take the high risk of bankruptcy, and exchange it for no future income. If you do not implement this strategy, continue the existing policy, there is no risk of bankruptcy, there is no need to sacrifice the future, the investment situation is very good, how many assets to increase depends on the ability, how do you choose?
Cooperation or attitude, it is all temporary, or it depends on what benefits you can bring to the other party and what benefits the other party can give. When the benefits gained from abandoning cooperation and turning their backs on friendship are large enough, there is no need to say more. Zhou Yu and Lu Su are not friendly, but they know when to do something.
