Idioms and allusions

background

In 215 ad, Liu Bei took Yizhou, and Sun Quan ordered zhugejin to ask Liu Bei for Jingzhou. When Liu Bei refused, Sun Quan was very angry and sent LV Meng to take Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang. Changsha and Guiyang Shu generals surrendered immediately. When Liu Bei learned of this, he personally arrived at the Public Security Bureau (now Hubei public security bureau) from Chengdu and sent General Guan Yu to fight for the three counties. Sun Quan also immediately entered Lukou and sent Lu Su troops to Yiyang to resist Guan Yu. At this critical juncture, Lu Su decided to negotiate with Guan Yu face to face in order to protect the alliance. "Su invited Yu to meet each other, and all the generals were able to do it by themselves.". After talks, the two sides eased the tension. Later, Sun Quan and Liu Bei agreed to divide Jingzhou equally, "cut the Xiangshui River as the boundary, so they stopped the army", so sun Liu alliance can continue to maintain. This "single sword meeting" was perfunctory by dramatists and novelists, and Guan Yu became a hero, while Lu Su became a short-sighted and timid negative textbook. This is the creation of artists, not the historical truth. Lu Su contributed to the alliance of sun and Liu, and "it's not easy to keep it for life" (Wang Fu's words). Therefore, Liu Bei and Sun Quan gradually became powerful, and established Shu and Wu states to compete with Cao Wei. The Three Kingdoms period appeared in Chinese history.

The process of romance

Guan Yu crossed the river alone for Jingzhou and met Lu su. The following is a brief introduction. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Lu Su can't wait to go straight to the theme and return Jingzhou. In the beginning, Guan Gong used the excuse of drinking instead of talking about state affairs, but Lu Su pressed him step by step; Guan Gong used the excuse of Liu Bei inheriting the land of the Han Dynasty, and made the sword ring. Zhou Cang interjected: "the land of the world, only those who live in virtue, is not only Ru Dongwu when there is ye?" There is no cover up for the denial. Guan Yu then changed his color and took the sword from Zhou Cang's hand. He pretended to be angry and said, "this is a national event. Don't talk too much. Quit quickly!" Ming chide Zhou Cang, really Lu Su! Then, Guan Gong pushed drunk, put the knife in his right hand, and took Lu Su's hand in his left hand. The intimacy was a bit murderous: "today, I'm drunk. Don't mention Jingzhou again. I'm afraid I'll hurt my old feelings. I'll invite Jingzhou to the meeting another day for further discussion. " When Lu Su was mentioned by him, he couldn't get rid of him. He was already scared out of his wits, and the hidden swordsman had to look at the ocean and sigh. When he got to the side of the boat, Guan Gong released Lu Su and said goodbye. Lu Su was so intoxicated that he took a long time to relax.

Historical records

In 215, Liu Bei occupied Yizhou and refused to return it to Jingzhou. On the one hand, Sun Quan ordered Lu Meng to take Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang by force, and on the other hand, he ordered Lu Su to guard against the reinforcement of Guan Yu. After Lu Meng fell into the three prefectures, Guan Yu went south and was blocked by Lu su. Lu Su attached great importance to the overall situation. In order to persuade Guan Yu to maintain the alliance, he invited Guan Yu to the appointed place for talks. before the negotiation, Lu Su's subordinates worried that the other party would set up a "Hongmen banquet" and did not agree that he would take the risk to meet Guan Yu. However, Lu Su, proceeding from the overall situation, resolutely went to see Guan Yu. (the original sentence in the book of Wu is: "Nai Chao Jiu Yu.". But I didn't say it was invited by Guan Yu.) At the negotiation table, Lu Su, regardless of the danger, argued. During the dinner, one of Guan Yu's subordinates said, "if you have land, you can only have it in your ear." Lu Su said, "with a sharp voice, you can speak very clearly.". According to the book of Wu, Lu Su's impassioned speech during the banquet even made Guan Yu speechless: "when Liu Bei was in Changbanpo, he was short of troops and exhausted. The Lord of Wu sympathized with Liu Bei for having no place to live, so he gave up his love and borrowed Jingzhou to help him. However, Liu Bei pretended to be in love with Yizhou and wanted to annex Jingzhou. Even ordinary people couldn't bear to do this, let alone a leading figure! I know there is such a saying: it is evil to be greedy and forsaken. General, you and I are all people with a heavy responsibility. If we can't understand the truth, can't help the LORD with righteousness, but only protect his shortcomings, how can we help? " Finally, the sun and Liu families reached an agreement: divide Jingzhou equally, "cut the Xiangshui River as the boundary, so strike." So far, Lu Su not only won the negotiation, but also maintained the unity of the sun Liu alliance.
