Yanghu was born in a famous family, his ancestors were all high-ranking officials with more than 2,000 stones, grandfather Yang Xu was in the late Han Dynasty, Ren Nanyang was too shou, his father Yang Wei was Cao Wei's Shangdang Taishou, and his mother Cai was Cai Yong's daughter, which means that Cai Wenji was his aunt. His sister married Sima Shi, the son of Sima Yi. It can be said that the family is long, and it is extremely noble.

And Lu Kang's identity is not bad at all, and Yanghu can be called a "good match", their Lu family is a Jiangdong family, not to mention the glory of the grandparents, just say that his father was the governor Lu Xun who burned the company camp for 700 miles and broke Liu Bei's army in one fell swoop. Besides, her mother is the daughter of Sun Ce, the "second-generation leader" of Eastern Wu, and she can be regarded as a golden branch and jade leaf.

Yanghu and Lu Kang, each of them has a large army, and there are countless heroes and fierce generals under their accounts, but they are all Confucian generals, Yanghu has a chic demeanor, seven feet three inches long, beautiful eyebrows, and a light fur belt on weekdays, just like a scribe. And Lu Kang is also a generation of scholars, when his father Lu Xun was in charge of the army, he was called "scholar worship general", and his sons Lu Yun and Lu Ji later became famous scholars in the Jin Dynasty literary circle, and the word "Lu" in the word "Panjiang Luhai" means them.

Yanghu and Lu Kang belong to Jin and Wu respectively, so they have to be opposed, as the so-called "don't fight, don't know each other", they have both suffered from each other.

In 272 AD, the famous Battle of Xiling broke out. The Xiling guard of Eastern Wu stepped into the exposition, led his troops to surrender to Jin and dedicated the city. After hearing the news, Lord Wu hurriedly sent the general Lu Kang to lead a large army to crusade. Of course, Emperor Wu of Jin couldn't sit idly by, so he sent the chariot general Yanghu to lead the army to support. "It's not that enemies don't get together", these two people began to fight each other.

The soldiers and horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first. After the arrival of Yanghu's army, he planned to use ships to transport grain and grass to Jiangling, but Lu Kang had expected this step, so he ordered people to destroy the weir and block the Jin army's water grain route. In ancient times, there were no railways and highways, and the transportation of grain and other baggage was far less convenient than water transportation.

On the one hand, Lu Kang controlled the traffic arteries, guarded against the southern crossing of the Yanghu army, and quickly conquered Xiling, captured and killed the rebel general Bu Xian and others.

However, Yanghu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after suffering the loss of Lu Kang, Yanghu seriously summed up the lesson. He felt that Lu Kang was not easy to deal with, and he should not be in a hurry, so he turned to the strategy of encroachment. He marched forward and occupied a strategic position east of Jingzhou, building five fortified cities. And relying on this, the army and civilians were sent to occupy the fertile land, and if the people of Wu ** were willing to surrender, they would be treated preferentially. As a result, not only was the important land of Wu invaded, but also greatly shook the enemy's military morale, and for a time there was an endless stream of descendants.

The two of them fought wits and courage for a lot of time. Gradually, the two of them admired each other very much in their hearts. Although there is no opportunity to get together and have a long talk, they really regard each other as friends. Under this state of mind, the borders of Jin and Wu were strangely peaceful.

At this time, although the state of Wu had declined, it still had a certain strength, especially in Jingzhou, where there were still excellent generals like Lu Kang to preside over the military. Yanghu then adopted a soft policy towards the Wu army, and every time the two armies fought, Yanghu agreed on the time of the battle with the other party in advance, and never carried out surprise attacks. For the generals who advocated a sneak attack, Yanghu drunk them with wine and forbade them to speak again.

For Wu Fang's family, it will never hurt. On one occasion, the soldiers under the tent caught two children at the border. When asked, their fathers were all generals in Wu **, and when Yanghu heard about it, he immediately ordered the child to be sent back. Later, Wu generals Xia Shen and Shao Jie came to surrender, and the father of the two teenagers also led his subordinates to surrender.

When the army led by Yanghu marched through the state of Wu, they harvested the rice in the fields to replenish the army's rations, but each time the price had to be calculated according to the quantity harvested and repaid with silk. While hunting, Yanghu also warned his subordinates not to cross the border line. If there are birds and beasts and other prey that were injured first by the people of Wu and ran over here to be captured, they should be returned to others. So for a while, the two countries of Jin and Wu lived in harmony and had nothing to do with each other. Even the people of Wu respected Yanghu very much and called him "Yang Gong".

Lu Kang was very clear about these practices of Yanghu, so he often warned the soldiers: "He is dedicated to virtue, I am dedicated to violence, and I am self-surrendering without fighting." Each is just a demarcation, and there is no need to seek small profits". Sun Hao, the lord of Wu, heard what Lu Kang was doing at the border, and he didn't understand it very much; And they sent for him to rebuke him. Lu Kang replied: "One town and one township, you can't be without faith, it's a big country!" If the minister is not like this, it is to show his virtue, and Yu Hu is not harmed." Sun Hao was speechless.

Lu Kang also admired Yanghu very much in his heart, and once praised Yanghu's virtue measure in public as "although Le Yi and Zhuge Kongming can't pass". Once, when the envoy of the Jin army came to visit, Lu Kang inquired in detail about some of the situation in Yanghu, and felt a great sense of pity in his heart, and deeply regretted that he could not get together to drink and talk and sing. So he asked, "How much does your boss drink?" The messenger said, "My boss drinks a good amount of wine, but he is only willing to drink good wine, and he does not drink ordinary wine." Lu Kang took a pot of wine and said: "This is the wine I have hidden for a long time, you bring it over and give it to your boss to taste, and say that it was made by Lu himself, in order to thank him for returning the prey."

The envoy returned to the camp and reported the situation in detail, Yang Hu laughed and said, "Lu Kang also knows that I like to drink good wine!" "Open the lid and drink. The general hurriedly persuaded: "I'm afraid that this wine is fraudulent, don't drink it first." Yang Hu smiled and said, "Where is Lu Kang the villain who poisoned, don't have any doubts. Regardless of the dissuasion, he drank all the light in one go.

Another time, Lu Kang's envoy came to the camp, and Yanghu asked, "Is General Lu safe?" The person said: "The coach has been sick for several days and has not been seen. Yanghu said, "His illness may be similar to what I have before, and I have a good pill here, you can take it to him and give it to him, and he will be cured soon." ”

The envoy of Soochow took the medicine and reported it to Lu Kang. All the generals said, "Yanghu is our enemy, where can I take this medicine?" Lu Kang tried his best to disagree and said: "How can there be a drunken sheep uncle!" Do not doubt it, all you. He immediately took the medicine and swallowed it, and the next day, he was completely cured, and all the generals came to congratulate him.

Thus. Yang and Lu are already friends who take care of each other and have the same heart. Although they are in two countries, the word "loyalty" has forced them to separate the two places, and they have no desire to know each other, but they have no fate to meet each other. As the saying goes: "If you say that there is no fate, you will meet him again in this life; If there is a fate, how can the mind finally be empty?"

As Yang Hu said: "The world is unsatisfactory, and ten permanent residents are seven or eight!" ”

When Yanghu was guarding the border between Jin and Wu, he nominally said that the time was not ripe to attack Wu and that he wanted to train troops in Tuntian, but in fact, he was probably unwilling to face the scene of meeting and bloody fighting with the army of Lu Kang. And when in 274 AD, after the forty-nine-year-old Lu Kang died of illness, Yanghu wrote to Emperor Wu of Jin and advocated a comprehensive attack on Wu. However, after all, Yanghu did not personally lead the troops to destroy the Wu State, and he soon died of illness.

Actually, this is not a pity. Under the Yellow Springs, these two opponents owe each other. They are no longer rivals between the two barriers, and they can have long and long conversations hand in hand, without hindrance.
