Lu Su gave a banquet to take care of Chang Shi.

In order to find out this problem, let's take a look at how The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is written. Chapter 66 of The Romance says: In 2 15 A.D., after laying Yizhou, Liu Bei reneged and refused to return to Jingzhou as agreed. Sun Quan was very angry and sent Zhuge Liang's younger brother Zhu Gejin to get it back. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei still refused under various excuses, so Sun Quan called Lu Su, who lent Jingzhou as a guarantor, and severely reprimanded him. Lu Su was ordered to station troops in Lukou, trying to trick Guan Yunchang, who was guarding Jingzhou, into being besieged and killed by Jiangdong, and then retake Jingzhou by force. Lu Su gave a banquet in Linjiang Pavilion outside Lukou Village, and personally wrote a book to invite Guan Yunchang to cross the river for dinner. On the other hand, heavy troops were laid on the shore, and it was agreed to shoot as the number. Once Guan Yunchang crossed the river, he would panic in it; At the same time, 50 swordsmen were buried behind the pavilion, ready to kill them during the banquet when the panic attack failed.

After receiving the invitation, Guan Yunchang tacitly crossed the river for dinner. During the dinner, when Lu Su mentioned the topic of returning Jingzhou, Guan Yunchang was speechless, so he pretended to be drunk and said, "This is all my brother's business, which is inappropriate." As he spoke, he walked to the river with a sword in his hand and Lu Su in his left hand. Lu Su was confused and had to be dragged to the river by Guan Yunchang unconsciously. Ambush in both sides of the knife and axe hand wanted to go out, but see Guan Yunchang holding a sword close to Lu Su, afraid of hurting the commander in chief, rashly dare not start work. Guan Yunchang held Lu Su in his arms until he got on the boat, and then stood at the bow to say goodbye to Lu Su. Lu Su was stupefied, watching Guan Yunchang fall into the trap and leave with the wind. ...

From the story, we can see that Guan Yunchang goes through fire and water and has a heroic temperament of death; Lu Su, on the other hand, is a short-sighted, timid dwarf, an image carefully designed by novelists to deify Guan Yunchang and suppress Lu Su. This arrangement is completely contrary to official records.

According to historical records, after Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan. At that time, Sun Quan's ministers unanimously opposed it, but Lu Su, proceeding from the overall situation, persuaded Sun Quan to agree to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei in order to consolidate the alliance between Sun and Liu and jointly fight against Cao. He said: "Cao Cao is powerful. We just occupied Jingzhou, and the people of Jingzhou don't trust us. It is really the best policy to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei to appease the people, because it will make Cao Cao an enemy, but we have another friend. Why not? " So Sun Quan agreed with Lu Su's idea. Liu Bei also readily promised to return Jingzhou immediately after Yizhou laid down. At that time, when Cao Cao learned that Sun Quan had lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, he was writing a letter, but he was "shocked to put pen to paper", showing how serious the problem of Jingzhou being occupied by Liu Bei was.

But after Liu Bei laid Yizhou, he refused to return Jingzhou. After Sun Quan sent Zhu Gejin to make a request, he sent Lv Meng to capture Changsha and other three counties by force and tried to retake Jingzhou by force. When Liu Bei learned of this, he personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses back to Gongan County from Chengdu, and sent Guan Yunchang to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to compete for three counties in Changsha. Later, Sun Quan also moved from Moling to Lukou, and sent Lu Su to lead 10,000 military troops to defend Yiyang against Guan Yunchang. A large-scale fierce battle between the two armies is imminent.

At that time, Lu Su's army confronted Guan Yunchang's army in neighboring counties, and the territory was uneven. The two sides are at swords' points, and sometimes there is friction, and the war is in a stalemate. And Cao Cao's army is eyeing up in the north, and wants to go south at any time, in order to take advantage of the "fisherman's benefit" and retaliate against Battle of Red Cliffs's resentment.

Lu Su sized up the situation, in order to take care of the overall situation, he always appeased both sides in a friendly way at the front line, in order to maintain the valuable alliance between Sun and Liu, and did not give Cao Cao any chance. Therefore, Lu Su decided to invite Guan Yunchang to meet each other across the river to ease the war situation. He suggested that the two sides arrange the military and horses a hundred paces away, and only allow the generals to bring their own knives to the meeting.

At that time, when Lu Su put forward this proposal, his generals were afraid of an accident and advised him not to make a move. However, Lu Su remained fearless and persisted in his own way. He said: "Today, we should make it clear to each other that Liu Bei failed the country, and the right and wrong have not yet been decided. What can Guan Yu do? " I decided to go to the meeting alone.

Now historians have come to the conclusion that Lu Su attended the meeting alone in the Guan Yunchang Defense Zone on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and all his more than 10,000 military forces were listed on the north bank of the Yangtze River. The teams accompanying the two sides also stood 65,438+000 feet away, and only the generals of the two sides met with swords.

Lu Su angered Guan Yunchang before the war: "My Lord pitied Liu Bei for having nowhere to defend himself, and spared no effort to waste people and money. He lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, gave you a place to stay, and helped you solve your difficulties. But Liu Bei's insincerity, ingratitude and lack of credibility have damaged our friendly relations. Now that Yizhou has gained strength, it will annex Jingzhou land. Even ordinary people can't bear to do such a thing, let alone lead a national leader? "

Guan Yu was speechless when he heard this.

Although the "one knife meeting" did not achieve any results on the spot, Lu Su's statement eased the explosive tension between the two sides and deeply touched Liu Bei's heart. Later, Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, and Liu Bei was afraid of losing Yizhou, so he took the initiative to send someone to make up with Sun Quan. The two sides agreed to share Jingzhou equally, and Sun Quan owned Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang counties. Nanjun County, Wuling County and Lingling County belonged to Liu Bei, which prevented a fierce battle between Sun and Liu. The two sides United against the powerful Cao Cao, which made the alliance between Sun and Liu last for a period of time, in which Lu Su played an important role.

This is the real "one knife meeting" in history!

Lu Su (172-217), a native of Dongcheng (now southeast of Dingyuan County, Anhui Province), was the second among Wu Dong's four British generals. When he was born, his father died and he grew up with his grandmother. The family is extremely rich, but because no one in their ancestors is an official, they can never enter the gentry class. At best, they are local tyrants with some influence. According to the examination, Lu Su was handsome and ambitious when he was young, and he loved fencing, riding and shooting. Later, Zhou Yu led his troops through his house and asked him to borrow food. Lu Su generously gave Zhou Yu one of the two hoards of rice at home, which made Zhou Yu very grateful, and then recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan. Sun Quan also attaches great importance to him and often talks with him about current affairs. Lu Su once advised Sun Quan to "set foot in the east of the Yangtze River and see all the troubles in the world" and put forward the idea of sharing the world with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, which was endorsed by Sun Quan. This is the story of the famous "bed strategy" in history.

In 2008, Cao Cao went south, and Wu Dong was divided into the main battle and the main and the two factions. Lu Su supported the main battle and took the initiative to invite Zhuge Liang to cross the river in Jiangxia, which made Sun Quan determined to unite with Liu Kang Cao. Battle of Red Cliffs and Lu Su, as military commanders, always led the three armed forces and made outstanding achievements, and were named as "Zanjun a captain".

In 2 10, Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su to succeed Sun Quan as commander-in-chief of the water army before his death. After Lu Su took over Jingzhou, Liu Bei succeeded in separatist regime, and fought against Guan Yunchang on the issue of Jingzhou's return. In Lu Su's humble and active struggle, the problem of Jingzhou's ownership was finally solved, and the crumbling alliance between Sun and Liu was maintained, thus effectively restraining Cao Cao's ambition of dominating the world.

In the whole process of Sun-Liu alliance, only Lu Su always adhered to this strategic policy, so Wang Fuzhi once said that Lu Su's adherence to Sun-Liu alliance was "difficult to keep for life", which made China's history have a valuable "Three Kingdoms period". Because Lu Su foresees the maintenance and consolidation of the alliance, which is related to the long-term interests of Jiangdong's life and death. This is his great vision. Historical facts also prove this point. After Lu Su's death, Sun Quan sent Monroe to attack Jingzhou, which led to the complete breakdown of the Sun-Liu alliance. As a result, Shu and Wu were carved up by Cao Wei and eventually perished. This lesson is extremely profound.

In peacetime, Lu Su is always "easy to get", which is completely the demeanor of a Confucian general. Pei Songzhi once commented in Notes on the History of the Three Kingdoms and Wu Shu: "Lu Su is strict, and he plays with too little ornaments ... He is strict in running the army, and the ban is inevitable. Although I am in the army, I can't let go. He is also good at speaking, able to speak, far-sighted and knowledgeable. After Zhou Yu, Su Weiguan. " This comment is quite appropriate and fair.

Lu Su's life, confirmed by his own actions, deserves to be called the most outstanding politician, strategist and diplomat, and only a great strategist. Unfortunately, in order to highlight the images of Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu, the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms described Lu Su as a coward who was timid and lacked strategy, which became another "big head" in Luo Guanzhong's works. Therefore, some scholars have lamented: "Among the many figures in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su is the one with the biggest discrepancy with historical facts."

In the 22nd year of Jian 'an (2 17), Lu Su died in the army at the age of 46. Sun Quan personally held a funeral for him and attended his funeral. Zhuge Liang also expressed his condolences. Sun Quan never forgot Lu Su's great contribution to Wu Dong. On the day when he proclaimed himself emperor and went to the altar to worship heaven, he said to his ministers with deep affection, "It is obvious that Lu Zijing is here!" (See "The History of the Three Kingdoms Wu Shu and Lu Su Biography")

After Lu Su's posthumous son Lu Shu grew up, he served as General Zhaowu, Du Fu, Governor of Wuchang and Governor of Xiakou. And he managed the army in a strict and talented way all his life. He died in 274, and his son, Lu Mu, succeeded to the title and took charge of the military forces.

There are different opinions about Lu Su's cemetery. According to Di Bao, Si Zhou Zhi and Si Hong Zhi of past dynasties, "Lu Su lived in Huai River. The Three Kingdoms' Li died in Linhuai, and his monument still exists in Jiajing, Ming Dynasty.' It is common sense that people are buried in their hometown after death. "Now historians infer from old records that Lu Su's tomb is no longer in Hongze Lake south of lin huai zhen in Sihong County. Now, in the courtyard of Linhuai Grain Management Institute, there is still an ancient well named Zijing Spring. The well is located in the middle of the pond with a corner pavilion on it. It is a miracle that the well water is two feet higher than the pool water outside the well.

Another way of saying it is that Lu Su's tomb is at the southern foot of Guishan Mountain in Hanyang, Wuhan. It was called Dabie Mountain in ancient times, later renamed Lushan Mountain in memory of Lu Su, and changed to Guishan Mountain in Ming Dynasty. 1955, due to the construction of the Yangtze River Bridge, Lu Su's tomb was moved to Dingyuan halfway up Guishan Mountain.
