During the Three Kingdoms period, there were star-studded gatherings, but there were not many people who could really pass on the career of famous generals to the second generation and still shine, Lu Xun and Lu Kang, who were born in the Lu family of Wu County, were definitely regarded as two generations of famous generals in the sea. As the son of Lu Xun and the (grandfather) grandson of Sun Ce, he has the natural advantage of lying flat, but by defending his father, he changed camps with Zhuge Ke to make people see his extraordinary. Fighting monsters and upgrading along the way, he became a military flag of Eastern Wu in the last days. His highlight moment kicked off in the Xiling Fortress he built that year, through a series of dazzling divine operations, he played with the superior Jin army in the palm of his hand, and finally defeated the enemy and attacked and killed the rebel general. After that, he guarded the flood land carefully, did not give Yanghu any chance to go south, and continued his life for Dongwu for many years, and even said that "if Lu resists and survives, Wu will survive, and if Lu resists and dies, Wu will die". He is the Great Sima of Eastern Wu, Jingzhou Mu, and Jiangling Marquis Lu Kang.
There is such a passage in "The World Says New Language: Founder": Lu Zhi, who was born in the Lu clan of Fanyang, once asked Lu Jidao of the Lu clan of Wujun in person: "What are Lu Xun and Lu Kang?" As soon as he heard this question, Lu Ji was furious at that time, didn't he point at the monk and scold the thief? He immediately replied unceremoniously: "It's like the relationship between you and Lu Yu and Lu Ting." Regarding Lu Ji's answer, his younger brother Lu Yun was worried about angering the other party, so he pulled his brother's sleeve after going out and said, "Why is my brother so excited? Maybe Lu Zhizhen doesn't know. Lu Ji's anger did not subside, and he said to Lu Yun with a straight face: "My father Lu Kang and my ancestor Lu Xun are famous in the sea, and their martial arts are great, who doesn't know?" This Lu Zhi, who was born in a ghost family (legend has it that the distant ancestor of the Lu family once went in and out of the ghost mansion, so it is said that he is so said), is obviously a provocation, and he must not be polite! ”
From this text, it is not difficult for us to see that there was still a huge contradiction between the northern and southern scholars at that time. As a representative of the northern scholar clan, Lu Zhi knew that the Lu family had extraordinary roots, but he still wanted to deliberately stir up trouble, which was really a bit of a draw. But this was the reality at that time, in the power field, there have always been more monks and less porridge, no matter how wonderful the story of your Lu family is, you don't want to have another chance to perform when you go to the north. Later, the ambitions of the Lu Ji and Lu Yun brothers were difficult to pay, and Huating He was the victim of this conflict of interests.
Although the Lu Kunzhong could not continue the three generations of the Lu family during his lifetime, they were brilliant in literature and calligraphy, and they were both dead and spiritual. Similarly, their fathers and ancestors who are famous in the sea have also become the leaders respected by later generations of soldiers. Previously, the author has introduced the history of Lu Xun, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, and this article will be divided into the last days of Eastern Wu for many years, such as the Great Sima of Eastern Wu, Jingzhou Mu, and Jiangling Marquis Lu Kang.
The door tiger has its own light
Lu Kangzi Youjie, born in 226 A.D., was a native of Wu County, Wu County (in present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu). Lu Kang is a person who is very good at reincarnation, and he suddenly joined the Lu clan of Wu County, the most famous scholar in Jiangdong, but the hour is a little late, and he already has a brother-in-law above, according to the tradition of the big family, the eldest eats all, and the second has to rely more on his own to work hard.
Lu Kang's father was the elegant and wise commander of Eastern Wu and the minister Lu Xun. Originally, the Lu family had a grudge against Sun Ce, but Sun Ce attacked Lujiang on the order of Yuan Shu and forced Lu Xun's uncle Lu Kang to death, and many of the Lu family's children also died in this battle. This was originally a blood feud, but the Lu family was destined to be unable to retaliate. After all, people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. With the Sun family sitting firmly in Jiangdong, Lu Xun and his uncle Lu Ji (Lu Kang's son) had to go out of Jiangdong. When the Lu family returned strongly, in order to win over and control the Lu family, Sun Quan took charge and married the daughter of the eldest brother Sun Ce to the diamond king Lu Xun, and the two families turned into jade silk from then on. The Lu family is full of talents in the Dongwu court, not only Lu Xun is in and out of the prime minister, but also Lu Kai and other Lu clan members are also ranked among the three princes, which can be described as infinitely beautiful.
Lu Xun and Sun's relationship is said to be very good, at least they did not torture each other because of the grudges in their previous lives. It's just that their eldest son, Lu Yan, didn't enjoy enough family warmth, so he passed away early. In this way, when Lu Xun died in 245 A.D., Lu Kang, who was in the year of the weak crown, attacked his father, became the marquis of Jiangling County, served as the captain of Jianwu, took over the steel gun in his father's hand, and had a 5,000-part trilogy that had followed his father for many years. The second young man of the Lu family, who had no worries about food and clothing in the past, suddenly became the voice of the Lu family, and shouldered the important task of renewing his life for Soochow and winning glory for the Lu family.
At that time, Lu Kang was ordered to garrison Wuchang, and had the opportunity to get close to Emperor Sun, who was becoming more and more imperious at this time. When meeting Sun Quan to thank him for his kindness, Lu Kang mentioned the 20 major crimes that his father was forcibly accused by Yang Zhu that year, and he refuted them one by one without humility or arrogance. Hearing this, Sun Quan couldn't help but nod, and the previous resentment gradually dissipated. Sun Quan saw that the famous generals were withering, and there was no successor to Dongwu, so he didn't feel that he had hopes for the future life of the Lu family.
In 246 A.D., Sun Quan promoted Lu Kang to be the general of Lijie Zhonglang, and let him exchange defense areas with Zhuge Ke, another ** person he was optimistic about, and was responsible for guarding Chaisang (in present-day Jiujiang, Jiangxi). When Zhuge Ke led the army to enter the Lu Kang camp with high spirits, he saw that everything was clean and refreshing, as if he had never lived there. Zhuge Ke, who has always been arrogant, couldn't help but blush a little, he remembered that he had left a piece of chicken feathers for Lu Kang, it was really more popular than people. From this, a discerning person can see the difference between the two in governing the army.
In 251 AD, Lu Kang fell seriously ill and had to return to Wuchang**. When Sun Quan, who was about to die, heard about it, he specially summoned him and said to him with tears in his eyes: "I listened to slander and blamed your father back then, so that the righteousness of the monarch and the minister between us for many years will not end, and it has also made you suffer a lot of grievances, and it is really uncomfortable to think about it now. I've had all those black materials burned to the ground, and no one is allowed to mention them again! "It's really a person's death, his words are also good, and the kind-hearted Lu Kang made Sun Quan break his defense at that moment.
In the second year, Sun Quan died of illness, and Sun Quan's youngest son Sun Liang became the lord of Wu after the death of his brothers and the abolition of his brothers.
It's a pity that Sun Liang's emperor didn't do anything comforting, there was Zhuge Ke's dictatorship in the front, and Sun Jun and Sun Qi were in power, so he could only live in the shadow of others, waiting for fate to come aggrieved.
In 253 AD, Zhuge Ke, a powerful minister who was ruled by Sun Quan's edict, was killed by Sun Jun of the clan. Sun Jun can't do construction with this product, and if he destroys it, it's called a person who uses too much force. He not only killed Zhuge Ke's clansmen, but also his in-laws. At that time, Lu Kang, who was fighting monsters and upgrading, was also targeted because he married Zhuge Ke's niece Zhang (the granddaughter of Zhang Zhao, the patriarch of Eastern Wu), and there was no way, in order to protect the Lu clan, Lu Kang had to make peace with the Zhang family, and he was accidentally labeled as a scumbag. However, judging from the fact that Lu Kang has no wife that Ming Media is marrying since then, and Lu Jing (second son), the sister-in-law born to Lu Kang and Zhang, inherited the title and became the actual head of the Lu family, the relationship between the Zhang family and Lu Kang should be very good, but the situation is stronger than people.
In 257 AD, Wei rebelled against Wei and sent his son Zhuge Liang into Wu as a hostage. At this time, the state of Wu was still in power by Sun Qi, and the Zhuge clan was still in the name of rebellion. The author has said more than once that ancient Chinese monarchs liked the tune of people coming from afar, and although Sun Qi didn't know how to do it, he also liked someone to vote. In order to show his image of being wise and martial, Sun Qi asked Sun Liang to worship Lu Kang as Chai Sangdu, and led his troops to Shouchun (in present-day Shou County, Anhui) to meet Zhuge Dan. Lu Kang has been training for many days, and he can finally pull it out, but he can't sprinkle flowers. It's a pity that Zhuge Dan didn't make many waves in the end, so he let Sima Shi destroy the group. As a guest army, Lu Kang could only defeat a little-known general of Wei State. Fortunately, Sun Qi only needed to gild his victory, and he didn't care about the results of the battle, so while giving himself an official and a knight, he also promoted Lu Kang to the general of the expedition to the north.
In 259 AD, shortly after the defeat of Sun Qi, Sun Xiu, the lord of Xinke Wu, became the general of the Zhenjun army and ordered him to guard Xiling (northwest of present-day Yichang, Hubei) and take charge of the defense of the section from Guan Yuse to Baidi City. At this time, the state of Shu was already in jeopardy, and the alliance between Wu and Shu became extremely uncertain. At this time, Sun Xiu, who was good at forbearance, placed Lu Kang on the Xiling defense line, and his intention was indeed reverie.
Lu Kang's father, Lu Xun, defeated Shu Han that year, especially the Battle of Yiling, which made Liu Bei return with a feather. Now, when Lu Kang came to the place where his father fought, how could he be emotional? Lu Kang overhauled the Xiling Fortress, intending to use it as a rear base for entering Shu in the future. It's just that his hard work has made the Bu family pick up a big leak, and he has made the battle for fame extremely difficult, which is really fateful!
Encountering the end of the world, it is difficult to maintain
In 263 A.D., when the news of the demise of Shu Han came, Sun Xiu's small universe of expanding the territory broke out instantly, thinking of completing his father's unfinished business, he immediately appointed Jianping (a county just separated from Xiling) who had been waiting for a long time to Shou Shengman, and led the army to kill Yong'an, intending to enter Shu from now on, in order to "the extreme of the Yangtze River". Yong'an is the city of the White Emperor, located at the junction of Wu and Shu, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has always been an important town for soldiers.
Sheng Man's meritorious service is earnest, and he doesn't understand politics at all, so he puts on a high-ranking victor's face as soon as he comes up, so that Yong'an Shou General and Padang Taishou Luo Xian will be angry when they look at it. It is said that Shu Han is dead at this time, if Sheng Man can persuade him gently, Luo Xian, who is hesitating to surrender Wei or Wu, may become a colleague with him. The two sides soon collapsed, and only new and old hatreds came to their hearts, and finally they met each other.
Before Luo Xian's boss returned to Chengdu, he left him 2,000 soldiers and horses, and in order to show Luo Xian's loyalty and bravery, he always talked about these 2,000 people. The author thinks that this is a bit exaggerated, although the defending side has a relative advantage in the war, especially a fortified city like Yong'an, which is surrounded by mountains and dangers, it is indeed difficult to attack, but it is also difficult to fight with more than ten times the enemy for a year with only 2,000 men. According to the author's analysis, the 2,000 elite soldiers were left by the boss, plus Luo Xian's own thousands of Padang soldiers, as well as some urban and rural bravers, there must be about 10,000 people in total, so that they have the power to fight. Otherwise, 2,000 people, even if they are beaten with iron, will not be able to withstand the consumption of more than a year.
Luo Xian easily dealt with Sheng Man, and then calmly faced the Fujun General Buxie. Bu Xie is the soil emperor of Xiling, and he is very unhappy with Sheng Man's merit, and he has the heart to sit and watch the success or failure, which may also be an important reason why Sheng Man came and lost quickly. The attack of the infantry association also did not take advantage, and could only retreat helplessly. Sun Xiu, who was unwilling to fail, had no choice but to sacrifice the big killer weapon of Lu Kang and let him lead an army of 30,000 to attack Yong'an.
The combat power of the army was far superior to that of the previous two armies, but when it met Xiongguan Jiancheng and Luo Xian, who could attack and defend well, the magic seemed to be out of order. Lu Kang fought hard under Yong'an City for half a year, making more than half of the city **. Someone persuaded Luo Xian to lead the army to break through the siege, but Luo Xian, who was angry by Eastern Wu, was more energetic: "As the lord of the city, he usually relies on the people, how can he abandon him in times of crisis, it is too unrighteous." After fighting for so long, Lao Tzu has fought enough, so let's live and die with this city today! At the critical moment, Sima Zhao finally sent the general Hu Lie to lead the army to blitz Xiling, and played a game to encircle Wei to save Zhao, and Lu Kang had no choice but to wave his army and retreat.
In this battle, if only the contest between Lu Kang and Luo Xian is counted, the two sides fought well, Lu Kang besieged the city for half a year, and he did not hurt his muscles and bones, but let Luo Xian ** more than half, which should not be regarded as a big defeat. The battle of Yong'an made Sun Xiu feel unhappy, and he had a psychological shadow, and it didn't take long for it to hang, and the panicked Wu State unfortunately ushered in the last monarch Sun Hao.
Sun Hao, who took office as a new official, continued to add officials to Lu Kang, added a more fashionable "big" character to his town army generals, and also let him lead Yizhou Mu. I don't know what's going on here? Doesn't Sun Hao know that Yizhou has returned to the Sima family, is he going to continue Sun Xiu's unfinished business and go to Chengdu so that Lu Kang can live up to his name? Obviously, this is a bit difficult, at least you have to beat Yong'an. Fortunately, at that time, it was already very common in remote counties, and readers didn't have to take it too seriously.
In April 270 AD, the great Sima Shiji died, and the military circles of Eastern Wu were reshuffled. In order to pull the Lu clan of Wu County, Sun Hao was also very generous, and he was busy giving Lu Kang the military of Xinling, Xiling, Yidao, Lexiang, and Public Security, and stationed in Jiele Township (in the southwest of Jiangling, Hebei Province), making him an important general on the northwest defense line of Wu State.
At this moment, the backyard of the Lu family**. Speaking of which, this is all caused by a big family and a large number of children. When Lu Kang was supervising the army on the front line, He Shao served as the parent official of Lu Kang's hometown Wu County, because he was not recognized by the local scholars, someone wrote in front of He Taishou's yamen "Huiji chicken, can't crow" to show insult. He Shao didn't care, and added a sentence after him, "Don't cry, kill Wu'er". Huiji and Wu here are both county names, and it is clear that some people want to take advantage of regional differences to make a big fuss. Although He Shao was the son of an official eunuch, he had never been interested in the scholars, and since the scholars came to the door, he simply entered the manor of the local Lu family and the Gu family, and found out many illegal acts, such as serving as an officer and soldier, harboring fugitives, etc., and then he packaged these charges and sent them to the imperial court, so that many wealthy families were convicted.
The case of Lu's manor has reached Lu Kang, and there is a division to ask Lu Kang for the crime. Lu Kang wanted to clear himself, but he was worried that if he sat idly by, he would not be able to understand himself, so he asked Sun Hao to plead guilty, and many children of the scholar clan were unwilling to be restrained and also made trouble together. Although Sun Hao was mixed, he also knew the truth that the public was angry and difficult to commit, so he had to order that he not be held accountable.
Compared with defending himself, Lu Kang, who was far away on the front line, was more worried about Sun Hao's series of riotous operations, for which he risked his life many times to write bitter advice, and also put forward 17 rationalization suggestions, hoping to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of a royal relative and important minister to the country. It's a pity that his Geng Geng's loyalty is destined to be in vain, if he wasn't far away from the capital, and he has a heavy army, and there are first-class warriors in Eastern Wu standing behind him, it is estimated that he would have been killed by Sun Hao, who is thirsty for killing.
Dongwu fell at a speed visible to the naked eye, Lu Kang saw it in his eyes, he was anxious, and in desperation, he had no choice but to guard the frontier and do his best to continue his life. In this painful process, Lu Kang ushered in the highlight moment of his military career.
Anticipate the enemy's wit and wisdom Kexiling
In August 272 AD, Sun Hao suddenly issued an order to recall General Zhaowu and Xiling Governor Buyan. Bu Xian is the younger brother of the aforementioned Bu Xie, and they are both the sons of the late Prime Minister Bu Qi of Eastern Wu. When the Bu family favored Mrs. Bu (the trainer) alone by Sun Quan, the scenery was infinite. The Bu clan has been entrenched in Xiling for a long time, making it a self-reserved place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The previous Lord Wu was worried that the tail would not be lost, so he divided Xiling and set up another Jianping County. However, the strength of the Bu clan has not been fundamentally checked, and they still live the life of a soil emperor who does his own thing.
At that time, there were not a few heroes like the Bu family, if it was another emperor, maybe it was nothing, it was a big deal to admit it in front of the emperor, and come back to eat and drink well and live well. However, Sun Hao is a demon king of the mixed world who peels off people's faces if he doesn't agree with him, how dare he face the ghost step in his heart?
In order to protect himself, Bu Xian decided to change his court. While looking for various reasons not to meet Sun Hao, he sent his nephew Bu Ji to Luoyang to pay tribute to Emperor Sima Yan of the Jin Dynasty. At that time, Sima Yan was eager to make meritorious contributions, and when he saw that someone from Eastern Wu had come to the court, and he was also the lord of Xiling, who was located on land and water, he was suddenly overjoyed, and immediately issued an edict to explain that he was the military and Wei general of Xiling. Bu Xian was promoted from a miscellaneous general to a heavy general all of a sudden, and it seems that the deal is doing well.
The behavior of the two and five boys of Bu Yan was soon exhausted, and Lu Kang, who had obtained the real hammer, immediately sent his generals Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, and Cai Gong to lead their troops into the siege of Xiling. He didn't want this fortress to defend against the Jin Kingdom to fall into the hands of the enemy when the country was at its weakest, in that case, even if he had great ability, he would lose one or the other.
Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty was not slow, and soon after giving the red envelope to Bu Yan, he ordered Yang Zhao, the assassin of Jingzhou, to lead the army to Xiling to pick up Bu Yan and receive Xiling by the way. At the same time, the edict ordered the chariot general Yanghu to lead the infantry army to attack Jiangling, and Xu Yin, the Badong supervisor, led the naval army to attack Jianping, echoing the steps from the left and right. The Jin army had at least 80,000 people, not including the Xiling Jiajia of Buyan, and the Wu army only had more than 30,000 people, and the difference in strength was close to 1:3, and the pressure on Lu Kang was huge.
In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, Lu Kang ordered the Wu army to enter Xiling to carry out civil construction between Chixi and the ancient city, and built a high wall in the shortest time, one side was used to encircle the death step, and the other side was used to resist the Jin army. What puzzled the soldiers of the Wu army was that it was clear that the enemy was pressing the border, but the governor was not in a hurry to attack the city, as if everyone was here for armed tourism. Seeing the soldiers of the Wu army building the city vigorously like worker ants, the generals said to Lu Kang with a question mark: "Now we can rush to Xiling first, just in time to attack the city quickly, as long as we capture Xiling before the Jin army comes to help, we can use Xiling to defend against the enemy, why bother building the city?" Lu Kang looked at these curious subordinates and said in a deep voice: "No one knows Xiling better than me." Back then, I was ordered to build a city wall, but I didn't expect to come and gnaw this hard bone today, it's really a creation and a trick! With the current strength of our army, if we attack hard, it will be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time. When the time comes, the Jin reinforcements will arrive, the veterans of our army will be tired, and the enemy will be attacked inside and outside, what will we do to fight? However, the generals do not believe in evil, especially Yidu Taishou Lei Tan is the most active, and he can't wait to write a blood book on the spot, and I don't know if he threw the little boy of the Lei family into the well in his previous life?
Seeing that his bitter words had no effect, Lu Kang had no choice but to let Lei Tan fight for a while. As a result, this thing was full of momentum, but it was thunder and rain. At this time, the generals knew that Xiling was not easy to fight, so they had to retract back and build the wall with peace of mind, and soon the wall was completed.
When Lu Kang heard that the wall was repaired, he prepared to leave the office and go to Xiling to supervise the battle. The general said to him: "The Jin general Yanghu led 50,000 people to attack Jiangling, which is the main battlefield, please move the governor to Jiangling to supervise the battle!" Knowing that Lu Kang was unmoved, he analyzed the generals: "Jiangling is an important town in Jingzhou, the city is strong, the defense is sufficient, and it is difficult to break through the 50,000 troops in Yanghukong. On the contrary, the Bu family has been operating Xiling for many years, and has close contacts with the local Zhuyi, once our army can not attack for a long time, he will inevitably collude with Zhuyi into chaos, and then the Jin people will take advantage of the situation to enter, that is the country's great trouble. Therefore, he rushed to Xiling to supervise the battle without stopping.
Of course, Yanghu would not sit idly by and watch Lu Kang make contributions to Xiling, and he also commanded the Jin army to speed up the attack on Jiangling. The terrain north of Gangneung is flat and open, which is very conducive to the march of infantry. In order to block the Jin army, Zhang Xian, a subordinate of Lu Kang and the governor of Jiangling, also used natural rivers to carry out civil construction, and built a weir to store water to flood the road north of the city, making it difficult for the Jin army to cross for a while.
Seeing this, Yanghu planned to send troops to destroy the weir and threaten to attack the city after the water in the north of the city receded and appeared on land. At the same time, he secretly ordered the grain, grass and soldiers to be loaded onto ships and prepared to be transported to Gangneung.
Regarding Yanghu's change of tactics, Lu Kang, who was far away in Xiling, sniffed out the crisis, and he immediately ordered Zhang Xian to destroy the dam. Zhang Xian and others were a little forced: "I have been engaged in civil construction in a similar way, and it has finally achieved results, why should it be demolished, isn't this an enemy?" Lu Kang said: "You don't know, Yanghu just wants to use the waterway to transport troops and grain, so he deliberately let you defend the weir, don't be too naïve!" "Zhang Xian is a good comrade who obeys orders and listens to commands, understands that it must be carried out, and if he does not understand, he understands it in the implementation.
Yanghu easily sailed forward, and after not going far, the big ship ran aground. The biggest headache for him was that the road north of the city, which had been soaked for many days, had completely turned into a swamp, not only could the ships be navigable, but the infantry was also unable to move, so they could only advance like snails and properly lose their fighters.
Master duel, once you fall into the opponent's hand, it is really loveless.
In November, Yang Zhao's reinforcements arrived in Xiling, and Xu Yin's navy advanced to Jianping, and the situation became apparently favorable to the Jin army. Lu Kang knew that it was a critical moment, so he hurriedly ordered Zhang Xian to stick to Jiangling, and sent the public security governor Sun Zun to maneuver on the south bank of the Yangtze River to prevent the Yanghu army from turning south and attacking Jiangling from the south. At the same time, he also sent the naval governor Liuxi and the Zhenxi general Zhu Wan to lead the army to intercept Xu Yin's naval army and prevent it from flowing eastward. After making the necessary preparations, he led his main force to confront Yang Zhao in Changwei, waiting for an opportunity to break the enemy.
At this juncture, there was a traitor with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the Wu army, which caught Lu Kang off guard. He said to his cronies: "This anti-bone boy knows that our army is false and real, and we must immediately adjust the formation and strain!" So, he replaced those places where there might be variables with the elite of good fighting, and waited for it. Yang Zhao really concentrated his forces to attack the weakness of the Wu army, but he hit his head on the iron plate, which was very heavy. Yang Zhao's good mood disappeared suddenly.
After a month, Yang Zhao really couldn't take advantage of it, the most important thing was that he was blocked by a long fence and couldn't get compensation from the city, so he could only drink the northwest wind outside the city in the cold, the taste was too sour, and it was really not suitable for the son of man. In the end, Yang Zhao had no choice but to escape overnight. Lu Kang wanted to pursue, but he was afraid that he would find out what a moth, so he ordered someone to beat a drum behind him and feign chase. Yang Zhao, who was already a frightened bird, was in the dark night, not distinguishing between reality and fiction, and he was not embarrassed to lose his armor and run. Seeing that Yang Zhao was really defeated, out of respect for the enemy, Lu Kang sent light troops to pursue and killed very hard. Yang Zhao was embarrassed this time, and went home to eat old rice for a few years, but fortunately, he had a good son-in-law, Pan An, who sang a few words of praise for him, which made his old man very comforted.
When Yanghu heard that Yang Zhao was defeated and Xu Yin was useless, he suddenly felt that it was difficult to support himself, and he lost the first move, so he had to go home. At this time, Lu Kang could finally free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with Xiling City. He lost this length, and the Bu Yan in Xiling City lost foreign aid, and he was already discouraged, and under the strong attack of the Wu army, the city was soon broken and captured. In the end, under the insistence of Lu Kang, Wu only killed the three clans of Bu Shen and his cronies, and the rest of the coerced subordinates were pardoned, and countless people were alive for a time, and their merits were notorious.
Lu Kang anticipated the enemy's opportunity in this battle, first established himself in an invincible position, and then broke the momentum of the Jin army's division and joint attack, and at the same time used secondary forces to contain the main force of the Jin army, and then used the main force of the Wu army to besiege the city and send reinforcements, and finally defeated the Jin army all the way, dampened the spirit of other Jin troops, and successfully conquered Xiling. After entering the city, Lu Kang, seeing the strong city defense built by himself, couldn't help but move his index fingers, and ordered people to step up the maintenance of the city siege, set up defenses, and ensure that the Xiling fortress was safe, and then returned to Lexiang in the east.
The Battle of Xiling was a major victory for Wu in the twilight of autumn, and it was also the shining point of Lu Kang's military career. However, the Battle of Xiling could not change the strategic situation of Wu and Jin, so Lu Kang's exploits in this battle have always been "unobtrusive and humble as usual". Sun Hao, who had not heard the good news of victory for a long time, was still very sure of Lu Kang's exploits of winning more with less, and issued an edict to worship him as the protector.
There is no power to continue the life of a lonely minister
As the state of Wu, which is the most fruitful of the Three Kingdoms, the phoenix that has fallen at this time is not as good as a chicken, and the only one who can fight is the Yangtze River natural danger and the warlike land resistance. Yanghu let Lu Kang swing a knife last time, but he failed to win in the case of superior troops, which made him have to re-examine the status quo of the two countries and decide to deal with the Wu army with a policy of Huairou. In his opinion, no matter how difficult it is to fight Lu Kang, he can't stand Sun Hao's death, once Wu Guo is demoralized and the people's hearts are scattered, how long can Lu Kang last?
In the following period of time, a series of unbelievable operations of Yanghu came like the water of the Yangtze River, so that the people of Wu Guoguo were like meeting a living Bodhisattva, and they all called Yanghu "Yanggong" without a name. The author has introduced it in the article Yanghu, so I will not repeat it here.
For Yanghu's warmth action, Lu Kang knows that the stamina is very great, if he can't gently block back, I'm afraid it won't be long before the people of Wu don't know whether Yanghu is an enemy or a friend? When the Yanghu army goes south, the Wu people don't all have to eat pot pulp to welcome the king.
Lu Kang guarded the defense line and warned the soldiers: "The sheep is invincible with virtue, and the benevolent is invincible." If we only use violence to attack him, then our soldiers will not listen to the order. For the sake of today, we can only try our best to protect the border, and we must not lose the morale of the army for small profits! ”
Not only that, Lu Kang also ordered the front-line soldiers to cross the border to attack Sun Hao at every turn, making the soldiers tired and the people very angry, and wrote to Sun Hao more than once: "A country is reckless in its military force, and it often consumes countless money, making the soldiers poor and haggard, and the gains really outweigh the losses." At that time, the state of Lu bordered the state of Qi, and although the state of Lu won two small victories, it was still destroyed in the end, and the reason was that the small country was tired of repeated battles and could not get the support of the people. For today's plan, Jin is strong and Wu is weak, we should not make trouble, but should rest and recuperate, and wait for the opportunity! It's a pity that Sun Hao, who never thinks it's a big deal to do stupid things, turns a deaf ear to this. In his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the Lu family was powerful and he couldn't do without it, he would have cut things off a long time ago. He was so angry that he still sent someone to hold Lu Kang accountable, why did he have an eyebrow with the enemy's main general?
In this regard, Lu Kang replied: "When dealing with a village and a town, it is necessary to talk about faithfulness, let alone two big countries? If we don't talk about faithfulness, won't that reflect the virtue of the sheep even more? The people of the world will abandon Wu Benjin! This kind of deep logic is really not easy for a tyrant to understand, Sun Hao can only secretly hold back when he hears it, and then he feels the punching bag all over the world.
Lu Kang has written many times, but unfortunately he has sunk into the sea. In desperation, Lu Kang, who was beyond the reach of the whip, had no choice but to fulfill his duties, carefully protect the frontier, and strive to fulfill the duty of a courtier. In March 273 AD, Lu Kangrong was promoted to the first brother of the Eastern Wu military circle, and was appointed as the Great Sima and Jingzhou Mu.
In 274 AD, before the Wu army could make a difference under the leadership of the new leader, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty adopted Yanghu's suggestion and appointed the old and strong Wang Jun as the assassin of Yizhou, and began to build warships in the land of Bashu, preparing to use the upstream advantage to deal a fatal blow to Wu. The people of insight in Wu are all worried. This naturally includes the deteriorating health of Lu Kang. In July, Lu Kang, who was difficult to get up, went to the table on his deathbed, bitterly stating state affairs, hoping that Sun Hao could implement benevolent government and defend Xiling with heavy troops to respond to emergencies. Sun Hao still turned a deaf ear to this.
In the autumn of that year, under the boundless falling trees, the most accomplished second-generation Lu Kang in the Three Kingdoms period died before he knew the destiny of heaven. Less than six years later, the Jin army attacked Wu in an all-out way. Wang Jun, Du Pre and other Jin generals advanced by land and water, completely swept away the dust of history in Eastern Wu, and verified the assertion that "if Lu resists survival, Wu will survive, and if Lu resists death, Wu will die". Lu Kang's eldest son and second son were martyred one after another when the Wu State was destroyed, living up to the hopes of his father and ancestors, and continuing to write a loyal martyr of the Lu family of Wu County with his life.
