Lejin.

Lejin (?) ——218), the character Wenqian, was a native of Weiguo (now Qingfeng, Henan) in Yangping County. A famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

With courage and heroism, he followed Cao Cao and conquered the south and the north. From attacking Yuan Shao in Guandu, he fought bravely and beheaded Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong. He also attacked Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang in Liyang, and beheaded his general Yan Jing.

Soon, Le Jin didn't hit the Yellow Turban, Yongnu, and Guan Cheng, all of which were broken.

From Pingjingzhou, stay in Xiangyang.

After Liu Bei entered Shu, Le Jin rejected Guan Yu in Qingni, repelled Guan Yu and Sufi, subdued the barbarians in the valleys of the counties of Nanjun, and broke Liu Bei's Linfang Chang and Jingyang Chang.

Later, he levied Sun Quan from Cao Cao and entered the holiday festival. Cao Cao returned from Hefei, leaving Lejin with Zhang Liao and Li Diantun in Hefei.

Cao Cao had military merits with Lejin and moved to the right general. He died in the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218), and was called Weihou. Later generations called him Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Zhang He, and Xu Huang as Cao Wei's "five good generals".

…… ……

Le Jin was born in Weiguo, Yangping County, with a short appearance, and had the courage to follow Cao Cao as a subordinate of the account.

At the beginning, Cao Cao personally went to Yangzhou to recruit troops because of the lack of soldiers. Le Jin was sent back to Yangping County to recruit troops, recruited more than 1,000 people, and later joined Cao Cao in Hanoi, and was promoted to the position of military false Sima and trapped Chen Duwei.

In the first year of Xingping (194), Le Jin attacked Lu Bu in Puyang, Zhang Chao in Yongqiu, and Qiao Rui (

uí) in Ku County, they were all the first to fall into battle and have meritorious, and they were sealed as the Marquis of Guangchang Pavilion.

Le Jin conscripted Zhang Xiu in Anzhong, surrounded Lu Bu in Xia Pi (pī), and broke his special generals.

He also attacked Su Qiang (suī) and attacked Liu Bei Yu Xiaopei, both of which won victories, and worshiped him as the captain of the school.

Le Jin and General Yu Ban led 5,000 cavalry to attack Yuan Shao's camp. From the southwest edge of the river in Yanjin, cross the river to capture Jia. Burned more than 30 tuns, beheaded and captured thousands, surrendered more than 20 people including Yuan Shao's generals He Mao and Wang Mo, and then returned to the camp. From the attack on Yuan Shao, he participated in the battle of Guandu, fought bravely, and beheaded Yuan Shao's general Chun Yuqiong.

In the ninth year of Jian'an (204), he attacked Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang's brothers in Liyang, beheaded his general Yan Jing, and worshiped the guerrilla general. Soon, Le Jin didn't hit the yellow scarf, broke the crowd, and pacified Le'an County. From the siege of Ye (yè) city, after pacification, he pursued Yuan Tan in Nanpi, ascended first, and broke into the east gate of Nanpi City. After Yuan Tan was defeated, Le Jin did not attack Yongnu and then broke his army.

Cao Cao presented the emperor of the Han Dynasty and praised Le Jin and Yu Ban and Zhang Liao, so he promoted Le Jin to the general of Zhechong.

Lejin was ordered not to recruit high-ranking cadres, joined the party from the north province, and returned to the aftermath. Gao Gan and others also guarded the pot pass, and they were beheaded in Lian Zhan. Gao Gan held on, and Lejin failed to capture it, until Cao Cao personally came to conquer Huguan.

In autumn and August, when Cao Cao was in charge of the administration, he marched into Chunyu and sent Lejin and Li Dian to attack. As a result, Guan Cheng broke away and fled to the island, and the seashore was flat.

At that time, Jingzhou had not yet been annexed, and Lejin was sent to Yangzhai. Later, from Pingjingzhou, stay in Xiangyang.

…… ……

There is an excerpt in Chu opera, called "Erzhu Opera Music", which tells the story of Le Jin's stay in Xiangyang and his marriage to a woman named Chu Dazhu. Le Jin was short, and the woman did not take a fancy to him, so she caused her sister to ruin their marriage.

Her sister's name is Chu Xiaozhu, she is a twin who looks the same as her, and she is the most troublemaker, and after a few rounds with Le Jin, she feels that although Le Jin is not good-looking, she is full of manliness and falls in love with her "brother-in-law".

Dazhu found that his sister was in love with Lejin, so he forced his sister to ask the reason for her love, and her sister sang, and after singing, her sister moved the idea of testing her husband, and as a result of the trial, she found that her sister's vision was good, and Lejin was really a well-known man, and she wanted to marry Lejin. In the end, the two sisters married Le Jin together.

This drama should reflect the anecdote of Lejin's concubine during his stay in Xiangyang, and marrying a wife should be something before the account officials.

…… ……

Zhou Yu died of illness. After that, Liu Bei began to borrow Nanjun from Sun Quan.

After Liu Bei obtained Nanjun, the barbarians in the valleys of Nanjun all belonged to Liu Bei. There are two places in Nan County: Linfu (Linfang, located in Yuan'an County, Hubei Province) and Jingyang (Jingyang, located in the north of Zhijiang County, Hubei Province). Liu Bei took Du Pu as the chief of Linfu and Liang Da as the chief of Jingyang.

After Liu Bei left Nanjun and led his army into Shu, Lejin in Xiangyang and Wenpin in Jiangxia took advantage of Liu Bei's entry into Shu and began to attack Nanjun.

In the first month of the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Lejin and Guan Yu fought at Qingni (Qingni, located in the east of Zhongxiang, Hubei Province), and after the two sides held each other for a while, Lejin repelled Guan Yu and Sufi. The barbarians of the valleys of the southern counties who were originally attached to Liu Bei went to Lejin to surrender one after another.

Guan Yu retreated southwest to Xunkou (southwest of Zhongxiang in Hubei Province).

Later, Wen Ping also arrived with his army. Le Jin and Wen Ping teamed up to fight with Guan Yu in Xunkou. Wen Ping was promoted to the Marquis of Yanshou Pavilion and the general of rebellion because of his outstanding performance in this battle.

Lejin attacked Linfang and Jingyang again, and they were all broken.

Previously, when Liu Bei was communicating with Liu Zhang, he had predicted the crisis of "entering the big gram". So far, Lejin has proved Liu Bei's foresight with practical actions.

…… ……

Lejin recruited Sun Quan and obtained a fake festival.

Cao Cao returned from Hefei, and stayed in Hefei with Zhang Liao and Li Diantun.

Lejin increased the number of five hundred, and the front, a total of 1,200 households. In August of the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Cao's use of troops in Hanzhong to personally lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to attack Hefei.

Before Cao Cao set out for Zhang Lu, he sent a letter to Hefei with the escort Xue Yi, writing that "the thief is going to Naifa (the thief army will open when it arrives)", and when the army was pressing, Zhang Liao and others opened Cao Cao's letter and wrote, "If Sun Quan's army comes, the two generals Zhang and Li will go out of the city to meet the battle, and General Le's guard army will not be allowed to fight." ”

Due to the disparity in the strength of the two sides, the generals were puzzled by this instruction.

Originally, Zhang Liao and Li Dian had a grudge against Li Gan in the Battle of Yanzhou, Li Quan's bloody battle and other past events, and Cao Cao ordered Le Jin to defend the city in order to prevent the two from causing a disadvantageous situation due to their grudges.

The three of them cooperated closely in the Battle of Xiaoyaojin, broke the Wu army, and won Sun Quan several times.

After the war, Zhang Liao asked the surrendered Eastern Wu soldiers who had just had a purple beard, long upper body and short legs, and who was good at riding and shooting.

Zhang Liao and Le Jin met, talked about it, and said that they would chase him if they knew it earlier, and if they didn't do well, they would be caught, and the army in Hefei City sighed and hated.

Although Le Jin, Zhang Liao, and Li Dian are of the same level, neither "Emperor Wu Ji" nor "Le Jin Biography" recorded the exploits of Le Jin in the Battle of Hefei. Later, Yi Lejin had several military exploits, divided into 500 households, and was named a son of the marquis; Le Jin was promoted to the right general.

In the twenty-third year of Jian'an (218), Le Jin passed away, and he was called Weihou.

In the first four years (243), Le Jin was enshrined in Cao Cao's temple.
