In the history of Eastern Wu, Lü Meng was a controversial general. Despite his contribution to the defeat of Guan Yu, he was criticized for his use of illness to deceive his opponents and for his undeclared approach to war in an alliance state. But, anyway,
Lü Meng's talent and tactical decisions are worth pondering. Throughout history, many great leaders have resorted to unconventional tactics to achieve victory. For example, the tactics of the Red Army's Long March, the "city capture plan" during the Taiping Rebellion, and so on.
These historical events tell us that for leaders, it is not enough to have excellent military talents, but more important is their wisdom and courage. Although Lü Meng had controversy, his military exploits were beyond doubt
And this is also a place worth learning from Xi and **. Battle of Xiangfan: Guan Yu's defeat and Lü Meng's disgraceful victory In history, Guan Yu, who "passed five passes and killed six generals", was hailed as a hero, but he failed in the Battle of Xiangfan. Lü Meng's inglorious victory,
made many people question him. Before the Battle of Xiangfan, Lü Meng had infiltrated Guan Yu's camp and boasted about Guan Yu, making him ignore his defense against Sun Wu. In the end, Lü Meng successfully entered the city of Jingzhou and put Guan Yu in a desperate situation. In the process of fleeing,
Guan Yu was unfortunately captured alive by Sun Wu's soldiers and horses, and was finally beheaded by Sun Wu. The fruits of the victory in the Battle of Xiangfan fell into the hands of Sun Wu, but Sun Quan was not really happy in his heart. After killing Guan Yu, Lu Meng's fate was also about to come.
His actions violated the rules of the "war between gentlemen", so although he defeated Guan Yu, he was never welcomed.
