Talking about Chinese culture well Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, and Lu Xun, all four of them served as the governors of Soochow, and they played an extremely important role in the history of Soochow's development.
If the size of the ** labor, how will these four governors be ranked?
It is analysed from three perspectives: key achievements, strategic development vision, and tactics.
Speaking of their achievements, it seems to be self-evident, it must be Zhou Yu's biggest, don't say it too early. As a veteran figure of Soochow, Zhou Yu's achievements are bound to be not small, but the rising star cannot be ignored.
The aura on Zhou Yu's body has: Assisted Sun Ce to establish the foundation of Jiangdong, led the Battle of Chibi, laid the foundation for the three parts of the world, and enabled Soochow to win the living space in the complex and changeable situation.
Sun Quan also spoke highly of him, saying that he was heroic and brave, defeated Cao Cao, and captured Jingzhou, and his achievements were difficult for future generations to follow.
Lu Su is a decent person, his greatest achievement is to inherit Zhou Yu's strategy and help the smooth transition of Eastern Wu.
Sun Quan also commented on Lu Su, saying that he planned a strategic plan for himself to unify the world, which is the famous "couch strategy", that is, based on Jiangdong, taking advantage of Cao Cao's war in the north, he first exterminated Huang Zu who occupied Jiangxia County, and then crusaded against Liu Biao who occupied Jingzhou, and after occupying Jingzhou and Jiangdong south of the Yangtze River, he then used the danger of the Yangtze River as a barrier to confront Cao Cao in the north and south. This was a great credit, and it was later realized.
When Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong, Lu Su suggested that he recall Zhou Yu, which was another great credit; But Lu Su made a fatal mistake, that is, he persuaded Sun Quan to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei.
Sun Quan believes that Lu Su is not a person who dares to compete for the first, so he is not Guan Yu's opponent, but he has the law to govern the army, the camp is not lost, and the order is prohibited, which also makes up for his shortcomings.
Speaking of Lu Meng,Sun Quan also commented, saying that he originally thought that Lu Meng was just bold and bold, but he didn't expect that after he grew up, his knowledge grew up and his strategies were exquisite, second only to Zhou Yu, but he was slightly inferior in talent.
Lü Meng grew up beside Sun Quan, and when Sun Quan went east to conquer Huang Zu, Lü Meng personally beheaded Chen Ju, the governor of Huang Zu's navy, so Sun Quan said that he was bold and bold.
After the experience of the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Nanjun, Lu Meng gradually grew into a mature and experienced general. He once proposed to Lu Su five strategies to restrain Guan Yu, but Lu Su was conservative and did not adopt it.
But a good person is not willing to be lonely, and will always show his talent at a critical moment.
In the Battle of Wetsu, he repeatedly offered Sun Quan strange ideas, such as building a city at the mouth of the Wetsu Pass, and designing elaborate fortifications, which Cao Cao could not attack for a long time.
More importantly, he broke Lu Su's strategy of uniting with Liu Kangcao before his death, and took the lead in proposing to attack Guan Yu and occupy the entire Yangtze River, and finally this strategy was also realized.
Therefore, Sun Quan said that he is second only to Zhou Yu, which is quite a high evaluation.
So what does Sun Quan say about Lu Xun?
Lu Xun has followed Sun Quan for more than 40 years, led Wu ** for more than 20 years, and was deeply involved in the construction of Eastern Wu in all aspects, but he was nagged to death by Sun Quan, why did he end up like this?
This is all due to Lu Xun's "deep" involvement, and in the later years of his career, his business was not only in military politics, but also in political work.
In 244 AD, Lu Xun was promoted to prime minister, commander-in-chief of the affairs of the three dukes, and led the affairs of Wuchang. Later, he was unfortunately involved in the "Second Palace Dispute", so he was punished by Sun Quan, and finally died of grief.
But his exploits are indelible, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Chibi, and the Battle of Yiling are all famous battles in the Three Kingdoms period with fewer victories, and they are all key battles that determine the fortunes of the country in World War I.
In the three battles, Eastern Wu occupied two seats, Zhou Yu was deeply involved in the Battle of Chibi, and Lu Xun commanded the Battle of Yiling, which is enough to see his strong ability to command the army.
Therefore, in terms of personal ability, Lu Xun is second only to Zhou Yu.
Judging from the main achievements of the above four, the order is as follows: Zhou Yu, "Lu Xun", "Lu Meng", "Lu Su".
For a country, as an excellent commander, in addition to going out to attack in wartime, it is also necessary to focus on the long-term development of the country in peacetime.
At this point, Zhou Yu was the first to bear the brunt, and he once put forward a strategic proposition for Sun Quan to dominate the worldThat is, first capture Bashu, then annex Hanzhong Zhanglu, then stick to Hanzhong, and then form an alliance with Guanxi Ma Chao, and then return to Jingzhou, occupy Xiangyang in Nanyang, confront Cao Cao, and plot to the north.
Zhou Yu's proposition was actually the same as Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, but unfortunately, Zhou Yu died suddenly, and this strategic plan was terminated.
Again,Lu Su also has constructive suggestions in this regardIt is the "couch policy" mentioned above, and it has been realized.
As for Lu Meng, some people say that he is the commander with the least strategic vision, he was the first to propose an attack on Guan Yu, thus breaking the strategic partnership of Sun and Liu to unite against Cao.
But in fact, this relationship will be broken sooner or later, the key is to seize the opportunity, so did Lu Meng grasp the opportunity?
It can be said that Jingzhou was indeed taken, but after it was taken, there was no follow-up, and the role of Jingzhou was not brought into play.
As a strategic location, Jingzhou has a very important strategic role: to the north to Wanluo, to the west to Bashu, Soochow can continue to expand its territory with the help of Jingzhou, so as to achieve more ambitious goals.
In Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang's plans, they both had further plans for Jingzhou, but Lü Meng did not. This is one of the reasons why people say that he has no strategic vision, and also the gap between him and the first-rate strategic masters.
Some people say that Lu Xun's insight and strategy were first-class during the Three Kingdoms period, is this really the case? The Battle of Yiling and the Battle of Shiting under his command were indeed very successful and far-reaching, but they were all passive defenses.
Reading through "The Biography of Lu Xun", it is difficult to find the strategic opinions he put forward, and it can only be said that Lu Xun is indeed an excellent commander, but he is not enough in terms of strategic vision, which may be related to the background of the Jiangdong scholars.
From the strategic perspective of the four, the order is like this: Zhou Yu, "Lu Su", "Lu Meng", "Lu Xun".
For the tactical aspect, Lu Su can be ruled out first, we look at the tactics of Zhou Yu, Lü Meng and Lu Xun from the three wars, namely the Battle of Chibi, the Sneak Attack on Jingzhou and the Battle of Yiling.
The Battle of Chibi was of great significance, and it was a key battle for both Sun Quan and Liu Bei. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the Battle of Chibi exaggerates Zhuge Liang's merits, in fact, the dominant side of this war is Eastern Wu, and the fire strategy is also proposed by Huang Gai of Eastern Wu.
Then Cao Cao's defeat, in addition to his lack of experience in water warfare, also suffered from the environmental problems of water and soil adaptation, and the combat effectiveness of Cao's army was greatly reduced.
Therefore, the Battle of Chibi did not have too many outstanding performances in terms of tactics.
Looking at the "sneak attack on Jingzhou" led by Lu Meng, this is a battle of strategy, and Lu Meng and Lu Xun performed this war together.
Lü Meng implemented a three-step plan:
The first step is to paralyze Guan Yu first, and the method used is to show weakness to Guan Yu;
In the second step, after Guan Yu relaxed his vigilance and transferred Jingzhou's men and horses to Xiangfan, he unexpectedly attacked Jingzhou.
In the third step, after taking Jingzhou, Lü Meng posted a notice and agreed with the people of Jingzhou for three chapters, won the hearts of the people, and also persuaded Fu Shiren and Mi Fang of Nanjun and Public Security.
It can be seen that the technical content of the sneak attack on Jingzhou is still very high.
The Battle of Yiling was also a battle no less than the Battle of Chibi for Eastern Wu, which was initiated by Liu Bei himself, but also ended in a defeat for Liu Bei.
So why did Soochow win this war? Three reasons:
First, Sun Quan was preparedAfter the battle for Jingzhou, Sun Quan knew very well that Liu Bei would come sooner or later. Therefore, Sun Quan also made preparations in advance.
Politically, he fell to Cao Cao, and he even did not hesitate to call Cao Wei a vassal; Militarily, in 221 AD, he moved his headquarters from Gong'an to Echeng (Ezhou, Hubei), renamed Wuchang, and laid down a defensive line along the Yangtze River after Liu Bei sent troops.
Therefore, Sun Quan fought a prepared battle.
Second, on the contrary, although Liu Bei was an attacker, he was not fully prepared. After losing Jingzhou, Liu Bei did not sum up his experience, nor did he recuperate and recuperate, but hurriedly proclaimed himself emperor.
In May 221 AD, Liu Bei was called the emperor, and in June he transferred troops, and in July, he drove in person, and Zhang Fei was going to go, but Zhang Fei did not move, and the person was dead, which made matters worse.
The key Shu Han also fell into a situation of lack of talent at this time, and he didn't even have a decent general, how could he win the battle.
The third reason is Lu Xun's credit. So what strategy did Lu Xun use? is the trick of procrastination, Liu Bei came violently, just to compete with Dongwu, but Lu Xun just didn't fight.
The Shu army couldn't find a chance for a decisive battle for several months, and there were problems with logistics and morale, so Lu Xun seized the opportunity and succeeded.
From a tactical point of view, the order is like this: Lu Meng, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun
The above is only a personal opinion, Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, all four have their own strengths, they are all important figures in the history of the development of Soochow, and they are great contributors to Soochow.
