During the Three Kingdoms period, after Lü Meng killed Guan Yu, he fell ill and died. Why did Lu Meng, who was in the prime of life at the time, suddenly fall seriously ill?
After learning of Lü Meng's death, Sun Quan said excitedly: "He is arbitrary, damn it!"
According to Sun Quan, could it be that he killed Lu Meng with his own hands?
Radong Wu entered the game
As the saying goes: "When you give birth to a son, you should be like Sun Zhongmou, and if you marry a wife, you should be Wu Guotai." This sentence is a perfect evaluation of Sun Quan's brilliant mind at the time, and it also praises his mother's credit.
Sun Quan was indeed smart when he was a child, but as he got older, he gradually learned to be smart.
Some people say that although Cao Cao is an old treacherous and cunning, he is at least a generation of heroes, and Cao Cao almost never kills his loyal subordinates.
Some people say that Liu Bei is benevolent and generous on the surface, but in fact he is an ambitious person.
No matter how we evaluate these two people, it turns out that they are much stronger than Sun Quan.
Take the killing of Guan Yu as an example, Sun Quan's personality is really bad.
Guan Yu was not satisfied with the several counties of Jingzhou at that time, and he wanted to continue to conquer the territory in the north under the banner of the "Northern Expedition". Especially the very important Xiangyang, which is a major gateway to Jingzhou, Guan Yu is also bound to win.
Under Guan Yu's organization, the Battle of Xiangfan soon began, and the commander of the Cao army stationed here would be Cao Ren. Cao Ren served as Cao Wei's general, and although he had two brushes in the war, he was still a little stretched when facing Guan Yu.
So Cao Ren hurriedly asked his eldest brother Cao Cao for help, and Cao Cao sent Yu Ban and others to support him.
At that time, there was a heavy rainstorm in Xiangfan and other places, and the nearby Han River was surging. Seeing that the water was turbulent and fierce, Guan Yu had the idea of having a water fight.
So Guan Yu began to dig ditches and build ditches, and finally came to flood the Seventh Army with a trick, and successfully defeated the Cao army that came to support, and the main general was captured alive.
After this battle, Guan Yu's reputation spread all over the streets and alleys, and Cao Cao got goosebumps when he heard it.
At that time, Cao Cao was frightened when he learned that Yu Ban was defeated, so he said to his subordinates: "Either let's move the capital, or Guan Yu will soon hit the doorstep." ”
After listening to it, everyone didn't have any good opinions, so they had to acquiesce.
But at this moment, Sima Yi suddenly said: "King Wei doesn't have to be like this, there is a clever plan to defeat Guan Yu below." After hearing this, Cao Cao motioned for him to hurry up.
Sima Yi's meaning is simply to let Sun Quan help, and just give them a little more land after the matter is completed.
The reason why Guan Yu dared to rest assured about the Northern Expedition was because they and Soochow were temporarily in a state of peaceful and friendly development.
However, they only have a good relationship on the surface, but behind the scenes they are intrigued, and neither side is pleasing to the eye.
At the beginning, in order to have a good relationship with Guan Yu, Sun Quan wanted his son to marry Guan Yu's daughter, but Guan Yu not only did not agree, but also personally attacked Sun Quan's son.
After this incident, Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with Guan Yu, so he kept waiting for an opportunity to get rid of Guan Yu. At this moment, Cao Cao's letter of invitation to cooperate arrived.
Cao Cao's meaning was very simple, that is, to let Eastern Wu send troops to attack Guan Yu's rear. The land they laid down was naturally theirs, and Cao Cao would give them a little more.
Lü Meng is arbitrary
Sun Quan and the others had long coveted the Jingzhou counties that Guan Yu was sitting on, so he immediately agreed to Cao Cao's cooperation.
In this way, Lü Meng and the others set off with the army of Eastern Wu, and things went very smoothly. Lü Meng and the others took Nanjun without much effort, because the people who were guarding Nanjun surrendered.
After learning that there was a fire in the backyard, Guan Yu also had no intention of fighting again, so he immediately led the army to retreat.
At this time, Guan Yu's subordinates basically had no intention of fighting, because their families were in the hands of Lu Meng. Lü Meng also said that as long as they laid down their arms and surrendered, they would not embarrass their families, so many soldiers were moved.
In this way, Guan Yu's army was invisibly disintegrated, and Guan Yu had no choice but to surrender with him. However, Guan Yu is not sincere, and Sun Quan and the others also know this, so Lu Meng has always been secretly supervising Guan Yu.
Later, Guan Yu really wanted to escape, and Lu Meng directly sent someone to take him down.
In fact, Lu Meng still likes Guan Yu more, after all, this is the top general at that time, so Lu Meng thought about persuading Guan Yu to see if the other party would defect to Soochow.
Even his own daughter was reluctant to let him go to Soochow, let alone Guan Yu himself, so he directly and ruthlessly refused.
Guan Yu's loyalty to Liu Bei will never waver, because he was separated from Liu Bei, Guan Yu had followed Cao Cao for a while.
During that time, Cao Cao paid a lot in order to keep this general, and he basically gave everything he could, but in the end he still failed to keep Guan Yu's heart, maybe only when Liu Bei is gone, Guan Yu will really work for Cao Cao.
A rich tycoon like Cao Cao can't keep Guan Yu, let alone Sun Quan and others who have no relationship with him.
Lu Meng knew that Guan Yu could not become a person in his own camp, so he killed Guan Yu. Sun Quan was also very happy when he learned about this, but he seemed to think of something, and immediately lowered his face, because he didn't know how to explain it to Liu Bei.
At this time, Sun Quan's "think tanks" suggested: "We can throw the black cauldron to Cao Cao, after all, he asked us to help." ”
Sun Quan felt very reasonable after hearing this, so he gave Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao, intending to tell Liu Bei: "Your second brother Guan Yu was killed by Cao Cao, but it's none of my business." ”
This black cauldron is too obvious, Liu Bei is not a fool and can naturally see it, and even if he can't see it, Zhuge Liang on the side can definitely see it.
Cao Cao kindly asked Sun Quan to expand his territory, but in the end, he got rid of the black cauldron. It is not difficult to see from this that Sun Quan is definitely the worst character among the three.
In terms of treating their subordinates, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are also much stronger than Sun Quan. Take the generals who have made great achievements, Sun Quan does not know how to cherish them.
After Guan Yu was framed by Eastern Wu, Liu Bei began to crusade against Eastern Wu. They made very good progress at the beginning, and if they continued like this, Soochow would die sooner or later.
At that critical moment, Lu Xun stood up bravely, and he successfully defeated Liu Bei and saved Eastern Wu.
is such a great hero, but later he was suspected by Sun Quan, and finally Lu Xun was angry to death by Sun Quan.
In addition to Lu Xun, Lu Meng's death that year also had a lot to do with Sun Quan, and Sun Quan may be the mastermind behind the scenes.
Sun Quan's suspicions
First of all, let's talk about why Sun Quan framed Lü Meng, the four words "arbitrary" can be said to directly condemn Lü Meng to death, so when did Lü Meng act arbitrarily? Of course, it was time to kill Guan Yu.
As courtiers, Lü Meng did not have the power to cut first and then play, and their task was to take the counties of Jingzhou.
In ancient times, you had to tell your superiors whether you killed prisoners or not, let alone execute a high-level general like Guan Yu.
Lu Meng killed Guan Yu without saying a word, Sun Quan was very happy to get rid of the big trouble on the surface, but in fact, he was a little dissatisfied, after all, someone had made a prestige in front of him.
The act of cutting first and then playing made Sun Quan feel that Lu Meng didn't seem to take himself seriously.
Because he won several counties in Jingzhou, Lu Meng made great contributions. For this reason, Sun Quan made him the Taishou of Nanjun, and also gave him the title of marquis, and at the same time gave him a lot of money.
In the face of Sun Quan's series of rewards, Lu Meng did not shy away from saying: "I don't want money. ”
This is another big taboo, don't want money, one means not to give Sun Quan face, and the other means: "I'm not interested in money, only in power." ”
Lü Meng only refused money, but did not refuse the title and the position of taishou, which is difficult not to doubt his desire for power, and Sun Quan also had to doubt Lü Meng's mind.
So before Sun Quan could knight him, Lu Meng fell ill. At that time, Lu Meng had just passed the age of 40, and it was the time when he was strong and ambitious in life, and it was too strange to fall ill at such a critical moment.
Sun Quan also cared about him very much when he heard it, so Lu Meng was taken to the inner hall by Sun Quan to recuperate.
In order to care about Lu Meng's physical condition, Sun Quan also specially asked people to dig a hole in the wall, so that Sun Quan could observe Lu Meng's physical condition at any time.
Seeing this, Sun Quan also explained: "I did this to care about his physical condition, so that I could see what happened immediately." ”
This is just the surface meaning of Sun Quan, in fact, he just wants to see if Lu Meng is alive or not.
Let's just say, if you want to observe why you made a small hole, is it because you are afraid that Lu Meng will find out? If Sun Quan really cares about Lu Meng, why don't you just live with him directly, so that you can see it anytime and anywhere.
To make such a small hole, sneaking around is like being a thief, and it is destined to be ill-intentioned.
After Lu Meng's condition became worse and worse, Sun Quan asked with concern: "After you leave, who can take your place?"
Is Sun Quan really asking about the next candidate? This is only a superficial meaning, and to put it deeper, Sun Quan is hinting that Lu Meng should not insist, and that he should die as soon as he can.
His own courtier was seriously ill, shouldn't Sun Quan try all kinds of ways to make him recover?
Zhou Yu felt that he was no longer good at that time, so he recommended Lu Su to take over his position. Then Lu Meng is also loyal to Sun Quan, if he really feels that he can't do it, he will also recommend someone else to replace him.
As a result, before Lu Meng could speak, Sun Quan couldn't wait, so he almost arranged the aftermath for Lu Meng.
The reason for Lu Meng's serious illness must not be simple. Although Sun Quan was not an emperor at that time, he was already like an emperor.
Lu Meng had already made a great achievement, if he had accepted the money at the beginning, and on top of that, he asked for a little reward, maybe Sun Quan would not have killed the killer.
So sometimes the companion is not necessarily the companion "tiger", but also the "living Hades" who kills people without blinking!
