Character experience

At the end of the Han Dynasty, he rose to be a prince

Zheng Bao (A.D? -About 198), the word unknown, Yangzhou people. Active in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Brave and resolute, outstanding in ability and force. During the chaos in the late Han Dynasty, most of the scholars in Yangzhou were cunning and rebellious. Zheng Bao, Zhang duo, Xu Qian and others all had their subordinates. Zheng Bao was the most powerful. He occupied Chaohu Lake and had more than 10000 people. The place was rich. Most of the scholars in Lujiang came to him and they were afraid of him.

Forced Liu Ye to be killed for plotting

According to historical records, Zheng Bao wanted to drive the common people across the river to watch, because Liu Ye was a famous man of a great family, so he wanted to force Liu Ye to respond to and advocate his own strategy. Liu Ye was more than 20 years old. When Liu Ye knew it, he was afraid, but he was not found by Zheng Bao. At this time, Cao Cao sent an emissary to Yangzhou. Liu Ye went to see the emissary, talked about the current situation, and asked the emissary to stay with him for a few days. Zheng Bao then took hundreds of people with cattle and wine to greet the messenger and wait for Liu Ye. Liu Ye set up a banquet outside the middle gate for Zheng Bao's members. He had a banquet with Zheng Bao inside, and secretly asked someone to kill Zheng Bao with a toast. But Zheng Bao was not good at wine, and he paid close attention to them, so that the man did not dare to start. Liu Ye then personally killed Zheng Bao with a sabre, cut off his head and threatened his followers: "Duke Cao has an order. Anyone who dares to move will be guilty of the same crime as Bao." Seeing this, all the members of the Ministry were shocked and scared, and ran back to the barracks. At that time, there were still thousands of elite soldiers in the camp. In order to prevent them from making trouble, Liu Ye rode Zheng Bao's horses to Zheng Bao's camp gate and told some leaders about the evils and benefits. Finally, everyone kowtowed to welcome Liu Ye. After Liu Ye entered the camp, he pacified the masses and made them submit to him. He even elected Liu Ye as the new leader. But Liu Ye saw the decline of the Han Dynasty, and he was also a royal clan. He didn't want to support the army, so he entrusted those tribes to Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang.

Lu Su hesitates and Liu Ye persuades him

There are not many records about Zheng Bao in history. Another record says that Lu Su was not optimistic about Sun Quan, but listened to his good friend Liu Ye's advice and wanted to go to Zheng Bao. Later, he was persuaded by Zhou Yu to enter the state of Wu. The following is the record of this event in the official history:

Soon after, Zhou Yu crossed the Yangtze River and went to sun CE. Lu Su went with him and left his home in qu'a. After meeting sun CE, sun CE appreciated Lu su. After that, Lu Su set his eyes on Sun CE and planned to divide the world with Cao Cao and Liu Biao (Liu Bei was still on the run at that time). Later, Lu Su's grandmother died, and he went back to Dongcheng to attend the funeral.

Liu Ziyang, a good friend of Lu Su, wrote to him, saying: "today, the world's heroes are coming together, and my son is talented, especially today. I'm anxious to welcome my mother, but I don't have to stay in the east city. Those who are close to Zheng Bao are now in Chaohu, where there are more than ten thousand people and the land is fertile. Many people depend on it between Lujiang River. How about my disciples? In view of the situation, we can also collect a large number of books, which can not be lost at any time, and we can do it as soon as possible "(Annals of the Three Kingdoms · Wu Shu · biography of Lu Su).

Lu Su agreed with Liu Ye. After burying his grandmother, he returned to qu'a and immediately reorganized his clothes. He wanted to go to Zheng Bao. It happened that Zhou Yu had already sent Lu Su's mother to Wujun. Lu Su went to see him and told him Liu Ziyang's suggestions and his plans. At that time, sun CE had passed away, and Sun Quan still lived in Wujun. Zhou Yu urged Lu Su to stay. He said: "in the past, Ma Yuan replied to Guangwu that" in today's world, not only the monarch chooses the minister, but also the minister chooses the monarch. ". Today's master is close to the wise and noble, and he records the differences. I have heard the secret theory of the sages. He who carries the Liu family will rise in the southeast, push things forward, and finally form the foundation of the emperor. It is the autumn for the martyrs to climb the dragon and attach the Phoenix. When I reach this point, I don't have to mind what Ziyang said "(Annals of the Three Kingdoms, Wu Shu, biography of Lu Su).

Lu Su followed his words. Zhou Yu immediately recommended Lu Su to Sun Quan, saying that he had talent and could be an assistant minister. He also suggested that Sun Quan should collect talents like Lu Su in many ways, so as to achieve the great cause and not let them go abroad.

Biography of Lu Su in Three Kingdoms

Lu Su Zi Jing, linhuai Dongcheng people. He was born without his father and lived with his grandmother. The family is rich in wealth, and the nature is charitable. At that time, the whole world was in chaos. The family affairs were eliminated, the wealth was scattered, the land was sold, and the poor and corrupt people were relieved. This was very popular in the countryside.

Su family has two meters, each 3000 mu, Su refers to one with Zhou Yu, Yu Yi know its strange also, so dating, set overseas Chinese, Zha of the division. When Yuan Shu heard his name, he was the head of Dongcheng. Su saw that there was no discipline in his skills, and that he was not good enough to set up affairs. He took more than a hundred young chivalrous men with him and went south to Juchao. When Yu went to the East, he stayed in qu'a because of his company. Grandmother Hui died and was buried in Dongcheng.

Liu Ziyang was friendly with Su. He left Su's book and said, "now that the heroes of the world are coming together, my son's talent is especially suitable for today. I'm anxious to welcome my mother. I'll stay in the east city. Those who are close to Zheng Bao are now in Chaohu, where there are more than ten thousand people. They are located in fertile land, and there are many people in Lujiang River. How about my disciples? If you look at the situation, you can also gather extensively. You can't lose time and make a quick move. " We should be clear about our plans. After the funeral, I want to return to Qua and go north. Huiyu had moved Su Mu to Wu and Su Ju to use adverbial Yu.

Today, the master is close to the virtuous and noble people, and he records the differences. I have heard the secret theory of the sages, and the carrier of the Liu family will be prosperous in the southeast, pushing the trend of things, which should be counted. It is the autumn for the martyrs to climb the dragon and attach importance to the Phoenix. If we reach this point, we don't have to mind what Ziyang said. " We must abide by his words. When Yu recommended Su to be a good assistant, he should strive for a wide range of comparisons and succeed in his career.

Historical doubts

Sima Guang's "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" does not record Liu Ye (Zi Yang) persuading Lu Su to go to Chaohu for Zheng Bao. His "Tong Jian Kao Yi" says: "if you kill Zheng Bao according to Liu Ye, you will be destroyed by sun CE, and Bao'an will have the right time? Liang Zhangju said, "Ziyang is the character of Liu Ye. According to Ye's biography, Ye was driven by Zheng Bao and wanted to go to Jiangbiao. It was ye who was not Zheng Bao's clique that killed him. How could he persuade Lu Su to accept the treasure? Duke Wen should not have taken it. (see Lu Bi's collection of the annals of the Three Kingdoms) according to Wen Gong, Sima Guangye. Therefore, this biography does not contain the story.
