Lü Meng was the third governor of Eastern Wu.

Although there is no obvious "baton" like Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Lu Su and Lu Meng know each other and have a good friendship.

When Lü Meng was a general, Sun Quan said to him: "You are now in charge of military affairs, you can't help but learn!" ”

Lü Meng excused himself on the grounds that there were many affairs in the barracks.

Sun Quan said, "Do I want you to study the scriptures and become an official who teaches the scriptures?" It's just that you need to read it cursory and understand the history. If you want to say that there are many affairs, who has more affairs like me? I also read a lot, and I feel very rewarded. ”

So Lu Meng began to study.

When Lu Su came to Xunyang, Lu Su and Lu Meng discussed the discussion, and said in surprise: "Judging from your current talent and strategy, you are no longer the original Ameng of Wu Land!" ”

Lu Meng said: "For ambitious people, after a few days of separation, they should look at his talents again, and it is too late for the eldest brother to know about this!" ”

So Lu Su visited Lü Meng's mother and became friends with Lü Meng.

Later, he was praised as "Wuxia Amun", others changed a lot, and they grew significantly; Or use it in the opposite sense, humbly referring to his own lack of growth, and also as "Ameng Wuxia".

Jin Yuanminzhi's "Reading Yu's Brother's Poems": "Wuxia Ameng is not to the sun, and the new chapter is to send Jiuquan Zhi." ”

Qing Huang Jingren's "Wen Zhi Cun Ding Mu You": "Ameng Wuxia is still the same, and he wants to worship in the hall every day. ”

…… ……

Lü Meng (179-220), the name Ziming, a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was a native of Runan Fupi (now Lujiagang, Funan, Anhui).

Lü Meng's deeds of indignation and diligence have become the representative of ancient Chinese generals who are diligent and clumsy, and the idioms related to it include "Shibei three days", "Treat each other with admiration", "Wuxia Ameng" and so on.

When Lü Meng was young, he crossed the Yangtze River south and attached himself to his brother-in-law Deng Dang.

At that time, Lü Meng was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he also fought with Deng Dang privately. Later, when Deng Dang found out, he was shocked, and he couldn't stop it. After returning from the battle, Deng Dang told Lu's mother about it. Lu's mother was angry and wanted to punish Lu Meng, but Lu Meng said, "It is difficult to live in poverty, and it is merit to get rid of mistakes, and wealth can be achieved." But if you don't explore the tiger's den, you can get the tiger? ”

His sister Lu Li said to her husband, "I have looked down on Amon since I was a child, he is the material for the Quartet, let him follow you, and maintain him on the battlefield, that's it." ”

After hearing this, Lu Mu "grieved and gave up".

A few years later, in a battle, Deng Dang did not defend Lü Meng, but Lü Meng blocked Deng Dang, but in the end, because he was outnumbered, Deng Dang was killed by the enemy and died.

Lu Meng transported the body of his brother-in-law Deng Dang home, apologized to his sister, and said, "I didn't protect my brother-in-law well. ”

Sister Lu Li said, "If you can send him back, even if you have done your part, it is serious to take care of yourself in the future." ”

Lymonno.

Zhang Zhao recommended Lü Meng to replace Deng Dang and serve as Sima of other departments.

…… ……

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200), Sun Ce was assassinated. Sun Quan took over the reins of Jiangdong.

Sun Quan crusaded against Huang Zu and defeated Huang Zu's army. In this battle, Lü Meng was appointed as the governor of Pingbei and concurrently served as the chief of Guangde.

Sun Quan adopted the advice of the general Gan Ning and sent troops to attack Xiakou (present-day Wuhan, Hubei), and Lü Meng went out with the army.

In this battle, Sun Quan won a complete victory, annihilated his old enemy Huang Zu in one fell swoop, and occupied the Jiangxia region. After the war, he appointed Lü Meng as the general of Yokono Zhonglang and gave him tens of millions of money.

In the Battle of Chibi, Lü Meng followed Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others to defeat Cao Cao.

Soon after, when Zhou Yu wanted to capture Jiangling, Lü Meng advised Zhou Yu to send 300 men to cut off the already steep mountain road with firewood, so that when the enemy fled, we could get their horses. Zhou Yu adopted his suggestion, personally led the main force to aid Yiling, and broke Cao's army under Yiling City, killing more than half of them.

Cao Jun fled by night, passing through a dangerous road blocked by firewood, and in desperation, the horsemen abandoned their horses and walked on their own. Zhou Yu and Lü Meng drove their troops to chase and intercept, and obtained 300 war horses, and their military prestige was greatly boosted. Zhou Yu occupied Jiangling and was appointed by Sun Quan as the Taishou of Nanjun, taking control of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Lü Meng was appointed as a partial general for his merits, and concurrently served as the commander of the sun.

Zhou Yu died of illness, and Lu Su took over.

…… ……

In the first month of the eighteenth year of Jian'an (213), Cao Cao personally led an army of 100,000 to attack Sun Quan, entered the mouth of the Xuxu, broke through the Jiangxi camp of Sun Quan's army, and captured the governor Sun Yang. Lü Meng led 70,000 troops with Sun Quan to resist Cao Cao.

Lu Meng has offered many strange plans, and they are all valid. Lü Meng guarded against the enemy soldiers, and was meticulous. Later, Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan's army from afar, saw the majestic lineup and the tight defense, and sighed, "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou." ”

So he didn't dare to venture easily.

In the second year, in order to enrich the army's rations, Cao Cao sent Zhu Guang, the Taishou of Lujiang (now Lu'anbei, Anhui), to cultivate land and plant rice in the area of Anhui City (now Qianshan, Anhui). He also sent spies to recruit the bandit leaders in the Poyang area as an internal response.

Lü Meng believed, "The fields in Anhui County are fertile, and if there is a bumper grain harvest, their soldiers will increase, so that for several years, Cao Cao's advantages will be revealed, and they should take Anhui County as soon as possible." ”

Sun Quan took his advice.

Sun Quan led his army up the river and attacked the city of Anhui. Zhu Guang gathered the troops to hold on to the city. Sun Quan asked the generals, who wanted to build earth mountains and buy siege equipment.

"It takes many days to complete the construction of siege equipment and piles of earth. By that time, the enemy's city defenses have been consolidated, reinforcements will surely come, and we will not be able to capture the city of Anhui. Now it seems that this city will not be very strong, and the morale of our three armies is high, and they can be conquered quickly by attacking from all sides, and then returning to the army while the water has not retreated, which is the strategy of a complete victory. ”

Sun Quan took this suggestion. Lü Meng recommended the general Gan Ning as the governor of Shengcheng, led the elite soldiers, and launched a fierce attack from dawn. Lü Meng beat drums and cheered, Gan Ning took the lead, Lü Meng followed the city with his elite, and in just one meal, he broke through the city, captured Zhu Guang, and captured tens of thousands of people.

This battle played an important role in Sun Quan's control of the Jianghuai region, and Lü Meng contributed the most, rewarded him heavily, and appointed him as the Taishou of Lujiang at the moment. The captured men and horses were also distributed to Lu Meng, and he was also specially given 600 households in Xunyang Tuntian, and 30 officials and subordinates.

Lü Meng returned to Xunyang.

Soon, the thieves in Luling were in turmoil, and the generals repeatedly conquered and suppressed. Sun Quan said, "There are hundreds of birds, but they are not as good as an osprey." ”

Ordered Lü Meng to go to the conquest. Lü Meng's soldiers went to Luling, captured and killed the first evil, and released all the rest, allowing them to resume their old business.

…… ……

Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou and sent Guan Yu to guard it. Sun Quan repeatedly asked for it, but Liu Bei refused to return it. In the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to lead 20,000 soldiers to capture the three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang.

Lü Meng spread Changsha and Guiyang, and the two counties were attached to the wind, but Lingling was too guarded by Hao Pu to defend the city and not surrender. After Liu Bei heard this, he saw that the situation was critical, so he hurriedly rushed from Shu County to the public security, and ordered Guan Yu to compete for the three counties.

Sun Quan lived in Lukou at that time and commanded all the armies. On the one hand, Sun Quan sent Lu Su to lead 10,000 people to garrison in Yiyang to resist Guan Yu, and on the other hand, he passed an urgent document to Lü Meng, asking him to abandon Lingling and immediately return to the division to reinforce Lu Su.

At the beginning, Lü Meng pacified Changsha and led his troops to Lingling, and when he passed through Yuxian, he found Deng Xuanzhi, an old friend of Hao Pu, the commander of Lingling, and took him in the army, wanting him to lure Hao Pu down. Hao Pu really hit the trick and "was ashamed to the ground".

Lü Meng went home and learned from his mother and sister about the story of Hao Pu, who had deceived Hao Pu, and her sister Lu Li said, "Amon will use tricks when he grows up!" ”

The mother grumbled and said, "Fraud can be used on the battlefield, can your marriage be done by fraud?" ”

To this day, Lü Meng has not married a wife.

According to his mother's wishes, he decided to marry him and go back to work after marriage, but Lu Meng said no, I had to rush to Yiyang.

The mother also said that the sister comforted the mother, saying, "Let Amon go, you can't just think of him as your son." ”

Mother let Lu Meng go.

After outwitting Hao Pu, Lü Meng left Sun Jiao to deal with the aftermath, and he led his troops to Yiyang on the same day.
