Lu Su: a visionary generation of celebrities
Lu Su was a very special counselor in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty. He is not only one of the consultants who made great contributions to the early development of Wu Dong Group, but also played a key role in the formation of the three pillars. Later, he succeeded Zhou Yu as the main commander of Wu Dong Group in Jingzhou, and made immortal contributions to the establishment of the Wu Dong Empire. At the same time, he is also the initiator and defender of the Sun-Liu Alliance. It is because of Lu Su's efforts that Liu Bei Group was able to form a strategic alliance with Wu Dong Group in the most difficult time, which not only avoided the end of being completely eliminated by Cao Cao Group, but also developed rapidly with the help of Battle of Red Cliffs's great victory. Liu Bei was able to occupy Yizhou and Hanzhong, which was closely related to Lu Su. For Wu and Shu, Lu Su played an irreplaceable historical role. He is not only an outstanding strategist, but also an outstanding diplomat. & gt& gt I >> Lu Su, Amethyst, born in the first year of Xiping (A.D. 172), was born in Dongcheng, Xuzhou. Shortly after Lu Su was born, his father died, and he lived with his grandmother since childhood. Under the careful care of her grandmother, Lu Su in her youth was already a burly man with outstanding appearance and rich family, and naturally became one of the people in the village. & gt& gt Xuzhou, where Lu Su was located, was one of the few rich areas in the late Han Dynasty. Although the social contradictions caused by the defeat of North Korea have become increasingly acute and peasant uprisings have broken out one after another, under the effective control of previous Xuzhou officials, the political situation in Xuzhou has remained relatively stable, and refugees from all over the country have poured into Xuzhou, which has also promoted the economic development of Xuzhou. Especially after Tao Qian, a native of Danyang, became the secretariat of Xuzhou, the development of Xuzhou showed a thriving scene. & gt& gt But Lu Su, now in his twilight years, did not focus on how to accumulate wealth. Instead of running his family business wholeheartedly, he scattered his family wealth, sold his fields, often helped the poor and made friends with heroes all over the world. Naturally, this righteous act of helping the poor has been widely praised by the elders in their hometown. However, at this time, some unexpected actions of Lu Su also aroused the suspicion of the villagers. He not only taught himself riding, shooting and fencing, but also gathered a group of young people, provided them with clothes and food, and often gathered in Xilushan area, which was called hunting. In fact, he rehearsed his troops in the dark and talked about martial arts, which became a civilian armed force. The villagers were puzzled by Lu Su's behavior, and some even privately said that Lu Su's behavior was bohemian and ruined the Lu family's family business. However, Lu Su ignored all kinds of comments from the villagers and went his own way. Because in his mind, Xuzhou's apparent wealth and stability hide a huge crisis, and he must make plans for his family's future. & gt& gt As Lu Su feared, although Xuzhou was well governed, it was becoming the coveted object of other separatist forces in the complicated and changeable environment at the end of the Han Dynasty. Since Dong Zhuo's autocratic power, the Central Plains has become the battlefield of major separatist forces, and Xuzhou is naturally not immune. & gt& gt First, Tao Qian joined forces with several local governors and warlords to attack Liangzhou forces several times, and then Cao Cao Group began a crazy attack on Xuzhou. In just a few years, Xuzhou changed hands several times. Tao Qian, Liu Bei, Lu Bu and other separatist forces fought and lost in this land, and Xuzhou fell into war. & gt& gt As a witness of this melee, Lu Su was deeply worried about the fate of his family. He has made up his mind to leave Xuzhou, a land of trouble. At this time, a character who influenced Lu Su's life suddenly bumped into Lu Su. His appearance not only made famous historical allusions, but also changed the fate of Lu Su's life. He was later the famous Zhou Yu in Wu Dong. & gt& gt Zhou Yu, born in Xiping for four years (AD 175), was born in Shu County, Lujiang, with a distinguished background. His great-grandfather served as the minister of the two dynasties, his cousin and his son were considerate, Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Yi, served as the Luoyang envoy, and his uncle later served as the governor of Danyang. Zhou Yu became famous as a teenager and had a high influence in the Jianghuai area. At the same time, he was the childhood friend of Sun Ce, the late ruler of Jiangdong. After Sun Ce's conquest of the Battle of Jiangdong began, Zhou Yu made suggestions and went to the battlefield to direct operations, which made great contributions to Sun Ce's victory in the Battle of Jiangdong. During this period, Zhou Yu was once intimidated by Yuan Shu, a warlord in Huainan, and had to leave his good friend Sun Ce for Shouchun, Yuan Shao's lair, and was forced to stay in Shouchun for several years. In order to win over Zhou Yu and his family, Yuan Shu intends to appoint Zhou Yu as general. But at this time, Zhou Yu has seen that Yuan Shu can't be a big deal, so he put off the appointment of Yuan Shu for an excuse and recommended himself as the magistrate of Juchao County, in order to leave Shouchun as soon as possible and return to Sun Ce. Yuan Shu didn't see Zhou Yu's real intention, and readily agreed to Zhou Yu's request. & gt& gt Zhou Yu once came to Dongcheng, where Lu Su lived, to raise food and grass during his tenure as the magistrate of Juchao County. When Zhou Yu learned that Lu Su was generous and that Lu Jia was a famous local family, he went down to visit Lu Jia with his hands, hoping to get funding from Lu Su. At that time, Lu Su's family had two rice warehouses, each with 3,000 tons of rice. Without saying anything, Lu Su immediately gave Zhou Yu one of the rice, which made Zhou Yu deeply moved and planned to make friends with Lu Su, a generous man, and soon they became close friends. This is the origin of the allusion "Xiang Jie". The story spread quickly and attracted Yuan Shu's attention. Soon, Yuan Shu appointed Lu Su as Dongcheng County Magistrate. However, Yuan Shu's appreciation not only made Lu Su feel grateful, but also made Lu Su have the idea of leaving his hometown. Soon, Lu Su gathered his family and expressed his long-cherished wish. Lu Su said: If the imperial court has lost its ability to govern the country, thieves will be everywhere, and the Huaisi area where we have lived for generations will no longer be a place to live. It is said that the land in Jiangdong area is fertile and the political situation is relatively stable. We can go there for a while to avoid disaster. Would you like to go to Jiangdong with me and wait and see the changes of the current situation before making your next plan? With the unanimous support of everyone, the Lu Su family, including more than 300 people, gathered in front of Lunan Mountain and embarked on a journey to Jiangdong. & gt& gt Just in case, Lu Su deliberately let women, children, old and young walk in front of the team, and the young ones followed at the end of the team, while himself was behind the house, in case Yuan Shu's pursuers caught up. Sure enough, not long after Lu Su and his party set out, Yuan Shu learned that Lu Su had not accepted his good pleasure and fled with his family. He was furious and sent a small cavalry after him. Seeing the pursuer approaching, Lu Su was very calm. He ordered his soldiers to prepare for the enemy, while he waited for the pursuers with shields and bows and arrows. Facing the galloping pursuers, Lu Su said calmly: "As a gentleman, you should know the overall situation at present. Now the world is in chaos, even if you beat me, you won't get any reward, and you won't be punished if you let me go. Why do you have to force me to work hard? " & gt& gt Lu Su finished, put the shield in his hand upright on the ground and shot at it with a bow and arrow. When an arrow falls, it actually goes through the shield. The pursuers used to admire Lu Su very much, but now they dare not see that Lu Su has such divine power. Everyone felt that they didn't subdue Lu Su and others, so they no longer embarrassed Lu Su and whipped away. Lu Su and others came to their lair safely, found their good friend Zhou Yu, and soon came to Jiangdong area under the rule of Sun Ce with Zhou Yu. Sun Ce also admired Lu Su's deeds. However, because Sun Ce was busy dealing with the complicated situation inside Jiangdong at this time, he did not go deep into it with Lu Su, nor did he arrange for Lu Su to keep his mouth shut, which made Lu Su feel very unhappy. So, Lu Su stayed in Qu temporarily, thinking about his next plan. This is also the lowest period of Lu Su's life. It was not until the fifth year of Jian 'an (AD 200) that Lu Su's situation changed fundamentally.
