Idioms and allusions

Lu Meng, Zi Ming, was born in Fupi County of Runan County (now Southeast Funan of Anhui Province). When he was young, he crossed the river with his elder brother Deng Dang. Deng Dang, Lu Meng's brother-in-law, was the sun CE department. At the age of 15 or 16, Lu Meng went out with the army. After Deng Dang's death, LV Meng led his troops and fought with Sun Quan. In the battle of Chibi, LV Meng, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu defeated Cao Jun and surrounded Cao Ren in Nanjun. Cao Ren was defeated and took charge of Nanjun. Jin became a partial general and was appointed magistrate of Xunyang. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Quan said to LV Meng, "I'm going to be in charge of Tu, so I have to learn from him." The Mongolians spoke of many affairs in the army. Quan said: "I don't want you to treat the classics as a doctor! But when you dabble, you can see the past. The Secretary said many things, who is lonely? If you study alone and often, you think it is of great benefit. " Monai began to study. And Lu Su went to seek Yang and discussed with Meng. He was shocked and said, "you are not going to return Wu to Amun." Meng said, "three days after parting, that is to say, I'm even more impressed. Why is it so late for you to see this?" Su then paid homage to Meng Mu and made friends. Lu Mengchu didn't learn to write. Sun Quan enlightened him and another brave general Jiang Qin and said, "you are all in important positions now. You are in charge of state affairs. You should read more books to make progress." "I'm afraid I'm not allowed to study any more because I often suffer from various affairs in the military camp," Lv Meng said Sun Quan patiently pointed out: "do I want you to study scriptures and become a doctor? I just want you to read more books, understand the past and increase your knowledge. When I was young, I studied the book of songs, Shangshu, Liji, Zuozhuan and Guoyu, but I didn't read Zhouyi. Since I came to power, I have carefully studied the "three histories" (historical records, Hanshu and dongguanhanji) and the art of war of various schools, and I feel that I have made a great profit. Like you two, you have a brilliant mind and temperament. Learning will surely bring benefits. How can you not read? You should first read "Sun Tzu", "Liu Tao", "Zuo Zhuan", "Guoyu" and "three histories". Sun Tzu once said, "it's not good to dream all day and all night without eating. It's better to study." Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was in charge of the war, still couldn't let go of it. Cao Cao also said that he was old and eager to learn. Why can't you encourage yourself? "Lu Meng began to study hard, and even the old Confucian scholars couldn't catch up with the books he read. After Zhou Yu took charge of the Wu army, Lu Su passed by the residence of Lu Meng on his way to office, and Lu Meng entertained him with wine. Lu Su also looked at people with old eyes and thought that Lu Meng was brave but not resourceful. However, when they talked about the world affairs at the banquet, Lu Meng had a lot of insight, which shocked Lu su. After the banquet, Lu Su sighed: "I always think that my brother only has martial arts strategy. Today, my brother has outstanding knowledge, which is really not Wu xiaamung." Lu Meng said: "it's three days since I left, but it's more impressive. It's really hard for him to succeed as commander-in-chief today, not as talented as Zhou Gongjin (Zhou Yu), but also as a neighbor to Guan Yu. Although Guan Yu is old, he is eager to learn. Reading Zuo Zhuan is catchy, honest and heroic, but he is quite conceited. Since he is close to him, he should have good strategies to deal with him. " He planned three plans for Lu Su, and Lu Su accepted them gratefully.
