Lu Su immediately made a decision and went to find Liu Bei. In Dangyang Changhan (now in Dangyang, Hubei), he met Liu Bei. Lu Su explained the mission sent by Sun Quan, and then discussed the situation in the world with Liu Bei.

Then, he described in detail Sun Quan's situation and Jiangdong's strength, and persuaded Liu Bei to unite with Sun Quan and reject Cao Cao.

Liu Bei listened to Lu Su's analysis and decided to resist Cao. At this time, Zhuge Liang was following Liu Bei, and Lu Su said to Zhuge Liang, "I am your brother's friend. ”

The two immediately formed a friendship.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it is said that Zhuge Liang facilitated the union of Wu and Shu, but it is not, it was facilitated by Lu Su.

Liu Bei led his troops into Xiakou (present-day Hankou, Hubei) and sent Zhuge Liang to accompany Lu Su to Chaisang (present-day southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to meet Sun Quan.

…… ……

Sun Quan learned that Cao Cao was preparing to cross the river to the east and invade, so he summoned all the generals to discuss, and the generals persuaded Sun Quan to surrender to Cao. Wei Lu Su didn't say a word.

Sun Quan got up and went to the toilet, and Lu Su followed him under the eaves. Sun Quan knew that he wanted to express his opinion alone, so he took his hand and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Lu Su replied, "Just now I observed that everyone was talking about it, and they all wanted you to make mistakes, and it was not enough to conspire with them. Today, I can meet Cao Cao in Lusu, but not for generals. I surrendered to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao should have sent me back to my hometown, and I could always be a petty official, ride an ox cart, and have an entourage. And general, when you surrender to Cao Cao, how will you be placed? I hope you will make a big plan early and don't listen to everyone's opinions. ”

After hearing this, Sun Quan sighed and said, "I am deeply disappointed by the propositions of these people, and now you have clarified the long-term plan, which is in line with my thoughts, this is the gift of God to me!" ”

At this time, Zhou Yu was in the field, and Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan to recall him.

Zhou Yu's return strengthened Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao. Sun Quan authorized Zhou Yu to preside over the war, appointed Lu Su as the captain of the Zanjun Academy, and helped Zhou Yuyun to strategize. Finally defeated Cao's army in Chibi.

After the Chibi War, Sun Quan relied more and more on Lu Su and called him his own Deng Yu.

Later, Liu Bei sent someone to meet Sun Quan and asked to borrow Jingzhou. Lü Fan and other generals persuaded Sun Quan to detain Liu Bei, and Zhou Yu was in the field, so he also said this. Wei Lusu considered the overall situation and persuaded Sun Quan to lend Jingzhou to Liu Bei, and use Sun and Liu to unite and resist Cao together.

Lu Su said: "You (Sun Quan) are certainly powerful, but Cao Cao's power is too great. We have just taken possession of Jingzhou, and benevolence and faith have not yet been widely practiced among the people. If Jingzhou is lent to Liu Bei, it is really the best policy to let him appease the people. Because in this way, Cao Cao has one more enemy, and we have one more friend. ”

Sun Quan agreed with Lu Su's proposition. When Cao Cao heard the news that Sun Quan had lent Jingzhou to Liu Bei, he was writing a letter, and in shock, he put pen to paper.

…… ……

Lu Su settled in Jiangdong, and he moved his family to Wudu.

When Lu Su was in his hometown, he had already married a wife and two concubines, but these three women gave birth to him all female babies.

Sun Quan knew about this situation and said that if you marry a two-room concubine, "moving land to collect grain" must be a different variety.

This is a half-solemn and half-ridiculous sentence, and he really did it when he said it, Sun Quan chose two chicks from the south of the Yangtze River to Lu Su as the concubines of "adding a house", who would have thought that these two women gave birth to daughters to Lu Su again, and the north and south were combined, and Lu Su had a total of seven daughters, and committed the "Seven Female Stars"!

Legend has it that the Jade Emperor is the seven daughters - the "Seven Fairies". Therefore, if anyone gives birth to a girl directly, it is said that they have committed the "Seven Female Stars", and they have to give birth to seven daughters in one breath before they can be considered to give up.

Originally, he gave birth to seven daughters, and if he wanted to give birth again, he would be a man, who would have thought that from now on, none of these five women would be silent, and there would be no information about who was pregnant.

During the Three Kingdoms period, childlessness was a big deal, and I didn't hear who succeeded the son of an older brother or younger brother? That is the fear of ending up childless.

There are no children, and no heirs.

Sun Quan knew about this situation, and he persuaded Lu Su to marry two more concubines, maybe he could really "move the land to collect grain" and change the variety.

Lu Su smiled and said, "Forget it, maybe I, Lu Su, just don't have a son's life." ”

…… ……

Zhou Yu was critically ill and wrote to Sun Quan, recommending Lu Su to replace him.

Sun Quan adopted Zhou Yu's suggestion and immediately appointed Lu Su as the captain of Fenwu to replace Zhou Yu in commanding the troops.

Almost at the same time, Lu Su was appointed as the Taishou and partial general of Hanchang.

In 214 A.D. (the nineteenth year of Jian'an), he broke through the city of Anhui with Sun Quan and was reappointed as the general of Hengjiang.

Prior to this, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang's law was decadent and lax, and Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and others had persuaded Sun Quan to take the opportunity to attack Shu. Sun Quan consulted Liu Bei on this matter, and Liu Bei had his own plans in his heart, and pretended to say to Sun Quan: "Liu Zhang and I are named descendants of the imperial family, hoping to save the Han family with the help of the heroic spirits of our ancestors." Now that Liu Zhang has offended everyone, I am alone and afraid to hear the words of attacking Shudi, I hope you will forgive him. If this request is not answered, I will scatter my hair and go to the mountains and forests. ”

Sun Quan agreed to Liu Bei's request.

However, Liu Bei later marched westward, plotting to annex Liu Zhang, leaving Guan Yu to defend Jingzhou. After Sun Quan understood Liu Bei's intentions, he was furious and scolded: "Cunning things dare to play tricks!" ”

He was deeply dissatisfied with Liu Bei.

…… ……

Liu Bei pacified Yizhou, and Sun Quan asked Liu Bei to return the three counties of Changsha, Lingling, and Guiyang in Jingzhou.

Liu Bei refused.

Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to lead the army to advance, and the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang were attached to the wind, but only Lingling Taishou Hao Pu held on and did not surrender. Liu Bei learned that he personally led 50,000 troops from Chengdu to rush back to the public security town, and sent Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops to fight for the three counties. Sun Quan also entered Lukou from Moling, and sent Lu Su to lead 10,000 people to guard Yiyang and confront Guan Yu.

For the sake of the overall situation, Lu Su invited Guan Yu to meet, and proposed that each of them arrange the soldiers and horses a hundred steps away, and only the generals would bring a single knife to the meeting.

After Lu Su made a decision, his subordinate generals were afraid of something wrong and advised Lu Su not to take the danger lightly. Lu Su was not afraid, he said: "Today, we should make things clear." Liu Bei failed the country, and the rights and wrongs have not yet been decided. What can Guan Yu do? ”

Lu Su resolutely went to the meeting.

At the meeting, Lu Su accused Guan Yu several times: "We in Jiangdong sincerely lent you the land because you came from afar after the defeat and had no place to stand." Now that you have obtained Yizhou, since you don't mean to return Jingzhou, then I only ask you to return the three counties, and you still don't obey your orders. ”

, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" created Guan Yu who "lives up to his heart, and is loyal regardless of death", praising his heroism of "I will drive a small boat alone in Japan, only use more than ten people in person, go to the meeting with a single knife, and see how Lu Su approaches me", and regarded Lu Su, the other protagonist of the story, as a sinister and cunning, rat-eyed villain. It depicts the story of Guan Yu leading only a dozen personal guards to Lusu to invite talks, facing danger and calmly dealing with it, so as to save the day and continue to maintain the Sun-Liu alliance.

This is not the case with history.

There was no result in a single knife meeting, the two sides were at a stalemate, and war was on the verge of breaking out.

When Cao Cao attacked Hanzhong, Liu Bei was afraid of losing Yizhou and sent someone to make peace with Sun Quan.

The two sides agreed to divide Jingzhou equally with Xiangshui as the boundary. The three counties of Jiangxia, Changsha and Guiyang belong to Sun Quan, and the three counties of Nanjun, Wuling and Lingling belong to Liu Bei.

Sun and Liu ceased to fight.

At the celebration party, the drunken Sun Quan said to Lu Su, "There is a woman who has given birth to a male ding, and now she has given birth to eight dings, it seems that she can give birth to 'Nine Consecutive Stars', can you marry him?" ”

Folklore has it that some women specialize in giving birth to boys, and moreover, they can give birth to "nine stars" in one breath.

Lu Su smiled and said, "Then, why didn't her family master let her give birth to 'Nine Consecutive Stars' in the master's family?" ”

Sun Quan said, "The head of her family died. ”

Lu Su said, "Ah! ”

Lu Su meant that the woman's head of the house was tired to death.

Sun Quan saw that Lu Su had no objections, so he said, "It's just that this woman is also surnamed Lu, but their Lu is a branch of the Yan Emperor Tongyu clan, and Zijing is the Lu surnamed Ji, which can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor." Therefore, Tonglu is not a family. ”

Lu Su listened to Sun Quan's words very carefully, and after listening, he said, "Does this woman have a name?" ”

Sun Quan said, "Yes, I'll let people inquire about it." ”

So, Sun Quan asked people to inquire about the woman's name and learned that this woman's name was Lu Shu.

Lu Su married this woman. Soon, the woman became pregnant.

…… ……

Lu Su knew that her woman was pregnant, so she held a celebratory banquet at home and got drunk. As a result, I can't afford to get sick. He died at the age of 46. Sun Quan personally held the funeral and attended his funeral. Zhuge Liang also mourned for him.

Sun Quan never forgot the important role that Lu Su played in the establishment of the Soochow regime.

When he said that the emperor ascended the altar to worship the heavens, he said to the ministers: "Xiluzi respectfully said this, it can be said that the situation is clear. ”

…… ……

Lu Shu gave birth to Lu Su's posthumous son, and he was really a man, Lu Shu gave his name to himself and Lu Su's son, so he called him Lu Shu.

When Lu Shu grew up, he successively served as General Zhaowu, Marquis of Duting, Governor of Wuchang, Fake Festival, and Governor of Xiakou, he governed the army strictly and competently, and died of illness in 274, and his son Lu Mu inherited the title and commanded the soldiers and horses.

…… ……

Legend: When Sun Quan was very ill, a wizard reported: "There was a ghost wearing a silk turban, like a deceased general, who loudly rebuked him and ignored him, and went straight into the palace." That night, Sun Quan really saw the dead Lu Su come to visit, and his clothes and headscarf were exactly the same as what the wizard said.
