When Lu Xun died in February of the eighth year of Chiwu (245), Lu Kang was 20 years old and was worshipped by Sun Quan as a captain of Jianwu, leading the 5,000-member tracing the cause department. When he buried his father in Lu Kang and thanked him, Sun Quan took out the so-called 20 counts of reporting his father before Yang Zhu and verified them with Lu Kang. Lu Kang answered them one by one and defended his father. After listening to Lu Kang, Sun Quan dispelled doubts about Lu Xun.
In the ninth year of Chiwu (246), Lu Kang was promoted to corps commander, and exchanged protection zones with Zhuge Ke to guard Chaisang. When Lu Kang left, his compound was intact, and when Zhuge Ke arrived, it was like a new one. Zhuge Ke's Chaisang Post Station was damaged to a considerable extent, and Zhuge Ke was deeply ashamed.
In the first year of Taiyuan (25 1), when Lu Kang was still being treated, Sun Quan summoned him and said to him in tears, "I used slanderous words before, and I was unfaithful to your father, so that I betrayed you. After asking questions, burn it, and don't let people see it "(The Story of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Shu and Lu Kang).
In the first year of lite (252), Sun Quan died, Sun Liang succeeded to the throne, and Lu Kang was worshipped as General Wei Fen.
In the second year of Taiping (257), Wei surrendered to Zhuge Dan in Shouchun. The military master worshiped Chai Sangdu and went to Shouchun to receive assistance, defeated Wei Yamen and was promoted to the general of the Northern Expedition.
In the second year of Yong 'an (259), he worshipped the general of Zhenjun and guarded Xiling (now northwest of Yichang, Hubei). The next year, a holiday.
In the first year of Yuanxing (264), Sun Hao succeeded to the throne, and Lu Kang was appointed as the general of the town army, leading the Yizhou animal husbandry.
In April of the second year of Jianheng (270), Fu Shiqi died in battle. After resisting the military forces such as Xinling, Xiling, Post Road, Lexiang and Gongan, he was stationed in Lexiang (now southwest of Jiangling, Hubei).
In August of the first year of Phoenix (272), Sun Hao, Emperor Wu, summoned General Zhaowu and Governor Xiling to ask for an explanation. General Bu Daixi Xiling Town called in hastily, thinking that he was negligent and afraid of being flattered. In September, the city captured Jin and sent my nephew Buji to Luoyang as a hostage. Emperor Wu of Jin ordered him to continue to serve as the military and health general of Xiling. In October, Lu Kang heard the news and sent generals Zuo Yi, Yan Wu and Cai Gong to surround Xiling. Emperor Wu of Jin ordered Yang Zhao, the secretariat of Jingzhou, to go to Xiling to meet and explain, and ordered yang hu, the general of chariot riding, to lead 50,000 infantry to attack Jiangling (now Hubei), and Xu Yin, the supervisor of Badong, to lead the water army to attack Jianping (now Hubei) to explain the rescue steps.
In order to avoid being attacked between Scylla and Charybdis, the army ordered to build a high wall from Chixi to the old city (now Yichang, Hubei Province) for besieging the city and defending the gold reinforcements outside the city, but it was in no hurry to attack Xiling City. It is extremely hard for Wu Jun to build a base and attack the city day and night. The generals said, "Today, with the spirit of the three armed forces, it is better to save from the gold than to attack in a hurry. What's wrong with the encirclement, but it's human strength? " Lu Kang said, "The city is impregnable, with abundant grain and grass, and all the tools it has prepared are against the rules. Today's reflexive attack, neither can be defeated, but the help from the north will come and be caught off guard. How can we resist? " (Biography of the reflection of Wu Shu Lu Kang)? But in order to serve the public, he ordered the headquarters to try to attack Xiling, which was really frustrated, so the soldiers worked hard to build fortifications.
When Lu Kang was in Lexiang (now northeast of Songzi, Hubei), he wanted to go to Xiling to bid. The generals of Wu heard that Yang Hucheng led fifty thousand nomads into Jiangling and invited Lu Kang to bid in Jiangling. Lu Kang thought, "There are enough soldiers in Jiangling City, so there is nothing to worry about. If the enemy loses Jiangling, it cannot be defended and the loss is small. If the Xiling Mountain is knotted, the Nanshan Group will be disturbed and difficult to worry about. I would rather abandon Jiangling and go to Xiling, but how strong is Jiangling (The Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Shu and Lu Kang)? So I went to Xiling.
At the beginning, Jiangling was flat and wide, with smooth roads. Lu Kang ordered Jiangling satrap Zhang Xian to be a big weir, to block water and drive the enemy. Yang hu, on the other hand, took the opportunity to transport the grain and grass to Jiangling, and threatened to destroy the weir and build a dam to save his life. Lu didn't listen to the orders of Jiangling prefect, destroyed the weir and dam, and cut off the grain transportation route of 8 Jin Army, but the generals were puzzled and didn't even listen. Yang's dam was damaged, so he had to transport food by truck, which was laborious and time-consuming, and the main force could not enter quickly.
In November, Zhao led reinforcements to Xiling, and Badong supervised the diversion army to Jianping. So he ordered him to stick to Jiangling and the satrap Sun to observe the south bank of the Yangtze River, so as to prevent Yang's troops from crossing south. Zhu Wan, commander-in-chief of the water army and general of Zhenxi, intercepted Jin's water army downstream; The self-led army besieged Yang Zhao for fighter planes for a long time. At that time, Wu defected to He Yuzan. Lu Kang said: "Those who praise old military officials and know my true and false situation are often worried that foreign soldiers are not concise. If the enemy attacks the encirclement, they must come here first "(The Biography of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Shu and Lu Kang). So the deployment was adjusted overnight, and all the local defense forces were replaced by elite soldiers. The next day, Yang Zhaoguo concentrated on attacking the weakness of the former Wu Bing sector, and Lu Kang ordered Wu Jun to fight back. Under the rain, 8 jin j was defeated.
In December, Yang Zhaoqiong fled at night. Lu Kang wants to lead the crowd in pursuit. Because I was worried about going out of the city to attack, I beat gongs and drums and pretended to chase. Yang Zhao was shocked and fled. Lu Kang sent light soldiers after him, and the Jin army was defeated. Yang hu's troops also withdrew their troops. Lu Kang transferred soldiers to conquer Xiling, captured and killed dozens of people of Bu Yan and his subordinates, killed all three families, and pardoned tens of thousands of others.
In this battle, if Lu Kang's command is determined, we must first break the converging attack of 8 Jin Army, contain the main force of 8 Jin Army with secondary forces, and besieged the city to Dayuan with the main force, and finally defeat 8 Jin Army and conquer Xiling. After Lu Kang entered the city, he repaired the city wall, and then returned to Lexiang in the east. Although Lu Kang has made great contributions, he is "as always unpretentious and modest, so he is deeply loved by the soldiers" (Biography of the Three Kingdoms Wu Shu Lu Kang). Thanks for work and worship.
At that time, although Wu had declined, it still had certain strength, especially in Jingzhou, where Lu Kang and other outstanding generals presided over the military. So he adopted a policy of appeasement to Wu Jun. Every time the two armies fought, yang hu agreed on the time of engagement in advance and never made a surprise attack. Yang hu got them drunk and forbade them to talk about it. Yang Hucheng's army entered the territory of the State of Wu and harvested rice in the fields as rations, but each time it had to be repaid with silk according to the amount harvested. Yang hu often gathered troops to hunt in Jiangyan area, but the scope was often confined to the territory of the Western Jin Dynasty. If any animal was injured by the Wu people first and then got by the nomads from the army, yang hu ordered it to be returned. So for a while, Wu and Jin lived in harmony and lived in peace.
Once, Lu Kang fell ill and asked yang hu for medicine. Yang immediately sent someone to bring the medicine and said, "This medicine was prepared by me personally recently. I haven't taken it yet. I heard that you were ill, so I gave it to you first. " General Wu, afraid of fraud, advised him not to submit, and did not doubt it. He also said, "yang hu is not arrogant" (Biography of Jin Shu and yang hu)! Sit down and accept it.
Lu Kang is well aware of yang hu's behavior, so he often warns his soldiers: "He specializes in virtue, I specialize in violence, and I surrender without a fight. It is only a dividing line between insurance companies, so there is no need to take advantage of it (Biography of the Book of Jin and Yang Hucheng). Sun Hao, the monarch of the State of Wu, did not understand what Lu Kang had done at the border. He sent someone to reprimand him. Lu Kang replied, "One city and one township can't break its promise. This is a big country! I don't, it's showing its virtue, which is harmless (Biography of the Book of Jin and Yang Hucheng). Sun Hao was speechless.
After Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu, proclaimed himself emperor, he was dissolute and cruel and ran amok. Although Lu Kang was far away in Xiling, when he heard that the government was in chaos, he was deeply worried and wrote many letters.
In the second year of Jianheng (270), he lived in Lexiang (now southwest of Jiangling, Hubei). He wrote: "If I am virtuous, and the people are fighting for widows, if I am strong and the people are at peace with the six countries, I will merge with Chu, so I will stay in the north." Today, the enemy crosses the system of nine clothes, not the right place. The separatist regime in Kyushu is just to the west of gap. Outside the country, there is no help from neighboring countries, but within the country, it is not as powerful as the western Chu. The government is late and the people are not worried. However, it is the last thing for negotiators to defend the country by relying on the mountains of Changchuan, not the first thing for wise men. Every time I leave, I am just a symbol of the survival of the Warring States. I look closely at Liu's trouble of capsizing, the song of the exam, the action of the exam, the pillow in the middle of the night, and the food in the meal. Xiongnu was still alive yesterday, so he went to the hospital and resigned. China people are impure, Jia Sheng wails, Kuang Chen comes from the royal family, is loved by the world, is famous for Thailand, shares the same fate with the country, has no regrets in life and death, regrets every night, and feels miserable. Don't cheat your husband and commit a crime of righteousness, and people and ministers will be martyred. I want to remind you that Article 17 is left "(The Biography of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Shu and Lu Kang, Article 17 is missing).
At that time, eunuchs decided to take power and intervene in state affairs. Lu Kang wrote: "When I heard that the founding of the People's Republic inherited the family business, I didn't take it as a villain, but dared to return. Books in the Tang Dynasty forbade me because of my elegance, so Zhong Ni sighed. The Spring and Autumn Period has arrived, and the Qin and Han Dynasties have been overturned. Little people don't understand the Tao, and what they see is shallow. Although he has exhausted his feelings, it is still not enough. What's more, his treacherous heart is pure, and his hatred for love is easy to change? Be swayed by considerations of gain and loss, you will do anything. Today, I am entrusted with wisdom, pretending to be authoritarian, and Ji Yongxi's voice is indispensable. Seeing an official today, though few, is crowned with filial piety. Still self-reliant, capital can be used. Since they can be appointed at will, they can restrain small groups, and then they can be vulgar and clean, and their politics are not dirty (Biography of the Three Kingdoms of Wu Shu and Lu Kang). But it was not adopted by Sun Hao, the Lord of Wu.
Sun Hao, the master of Wu, used the general's tactics to make Wu Jun invade the border of Jin many times, which made the people exhausted. Lu Kang thought there were disadvantages and advantages, so he wrote in the first year of Phoenix (272): "I heard that the Book of Changes is expensive at any time, and it is troublesome to spread beauty. So I committed many crimes in the summer, so I became a teacher, and I insulted and won the lottery. If there is no time, Yutai is worried about sadness, and Jin Meng has an army against it. Today, instead of serving Qiang Bing as a rich country, we should concentrate on developing agriculture, livestock and valleys. Only in this way can we effectively use talents with both civil and military skills, and there are no vacancies in Pakistan. Ming wants to be diligent and generous, and the punishment is rewarded to discourage, and the teacher training is moral. Let's be kind to the people, and then take advantage of the weather to sweep through space. Listen to the general's eccentricity and arrogance, spend thousands of dollars, and the soldiers will not fall. I am seriously ill! Today, it is not a good policy to fight for the imperial capital for the country, but also for the benefit of one hundred. Yesterday, in the Third World War between Qilu and Shandong, the Lu people died again. What is this? The size and potential are different. What's more, what did the teacher get, but he didn't make up for what he lost? And stop the soldiers without the crowd, learn from the past and use small rules, take a break and forge ahead, and look at the gap with the strength of the livestock people, with no regrets "(Biography of the Three Kingdoms Wu Shu Lu Kang). But Sun Hao still refused to adopt.
I heard that Xue, the left commander of Wuchang, was arrested and imprisoned. Last time, Lu Kang wrote: "A good husband and a handsome man are the wealth of the country and the precious wealth of the country. Mediocrity is the principle of LUN Xu, and four doors are the principle of Mu Qing. Therefore, from Lou Xuan, a senior agricultural official, to Wang Fan, a courtier, to Xu Li, a grass-roots official, all show their talents in the contemporary era. They were loved and ascended the throne calmly, but they were all condemned, sacrificed by foreigners or abandoned by wild people. Gai "Zhou Li" has the meaning of forgiving sages, while Chunqiu has the meaning of forgiving kindness.
The book says:' It is better to lose experience than to kill someone who is not worth it.' However, if the charges of Fan and others are undecided, they will be greatly improved, serve the country faithfully and be executed. Isn't it painful? And the death of punishment, solid ignorance, to burn bright and drift, abandon the waterfront, I am afraid it is not the code of the former king, or just the warning of Hou. Therefore, the people mourn and the people mourn together. Fan, Xu and I have regretted it forever. I sincerely hope your majesty will forgive me and call Xuan out, but I heard that Xue Ying was dead and caught him. Ying's father fully accepted the words of the first emperor, Emperor Fu Biwen and Ying, and made a name for himself. It is a crime to sit here now. I'm afraid there is a company that doesn't elaborate on its affairs. If you repeatedly commit crimes, you will lose people's hearts, beg for grace, forgive Yingying's crimes, lament ordinary prisons, and expose the punishment network, then the world is very fortunate! "
Despite Lu Kang's repeated statements, he still couldn't catch it. However, none of them were adopted by Sun Hao, and Lu Kang was beyond his ability, so he had to perform his duties and carefully protect the border.
In March of the second year of Feng (273), he worshipped Jingzhou.
In the third year of Fenghuang (272), Emperor Wudi of Jin was reinstated as the secretariat of Yizhou, and ordered him to build a large number of warships in Bashu and train the water army. Wu was seriously threatened. Some ministers are deeply worried.
In July, Lu Kang was seriously ill. When he was sick, he wrote: "Xiling and Jianping are the exotic surfaces of this country. They were attacked by the enemy in a dirty place. If the enemy is boating down the river and the stars are holding the moon, it will not help other departments to save the county. This is an opportunity for national security, and the invasion of the mausoleum is not small. Father Johnson issued a statement in Xiqiao yesterday, arguing that the West Gate of Xiling Kingdom is easy to keep, but it is also easy to lose. If you don't keep it, not only will you lose a county, but Jingzhou will not be Wu You. If it is in danger, it should be contested. When I went to Xiling, I was involved in Xunji, begging for 30 thousand elite soldiers, but those who arrived followed the routine and did not send them. After self-explanation, the benefits are more losses. Today, I am in charge of thousands of miles and I am attacked everywhere. I'm strong externally and savage internally. I see tens of thousands of soldiers and wealth from top to bottom, which is hard to change. I foolishly thought that Wang Youchong, who has not yet unified the state affairs, could establish a good relationship with Fu Xiang, assist Xian Zi, and do not need military forces to hinder important tasks. And the yellow gate set up an official, opened Zhan's house, and the military and civilians complained about the service, hoping to escape into Zhan. Begging for Jane and reading the imperial edict is expected to make up for the frequent enemy situations on the battlefield. The envoy's department is over 80 thousand, and everything is saved, so I believe it will be rewarded and punished. Although Han and Bai were resurrected, they did not show their intelligence. The number of soldiers will not increase, and this system will remain unchanged, but I am deeply worried about reconciling major events. If I die, I will beg the west. May your Majesty think of my words, and I will die immortal "(Biography of the Three Kingdoms Wu Shu Lu Kang). Sun Li still turned a deaf ear to this.
In the autumn of the same year, Lu Kang died, and his son Lu Yansi. Yan Lu, Lu Jing, Xuan Lu, Luigi and Lu Yun were divided into soldiers of Lu Kang. Lu Ji and Lu Yun were both famous writers in the Western Jin Dynasty.
After Lu Kang's death, there was no good general in Wu. In November of the fifth year of Xianning in Jin Dynasty (279 years, Wu Tianji three years), the Jin army attacked Wu, and Wang Jun, the general of Jinlong Xiang, led the amphibious army down the river. His combat strategy is exactly the same as Lu Kang's.
Comments: Since Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, the State of Wu has become famous all over the world for many times, first Zhou Yu and Lu Su, then Lu Xun and Lu Kang, which made Wei and Shu countries look at Jiangdong with new eyes and dare not send troops rashly. Except Lu Xun, all four died young. After the death of five people, Wu quickly perished, which is regrettable! The evaluation of Lu Kang in The History of the Three Kingdoms is: "He is resistant to chastity and dryness, salty and fatherly, beautiful in the world, concrete and implicit, and can be described as a builder!
