Lü Meng is one of the famous generals of the Three Kingdoms era, and his military talent is not below Zhou Yu, but it is a pity that Lü Meng has fought many battles with Sun Quan, so his record does not look as good as Zhou Yu, and there are fiascos such as Xiaoyaojin.

Lü Meng was hostile to many people because of the defeat and death of Guan Yu's soldiers in the sneak attack on Jingzhou, but in the official history, Lü Meng can be said to be a model in treating colleagues, subordinates, bosses, and even enemies.

【Brilliant Record】

Because of the influence of the proverb "Shibei three days, treat each other with admiration", many people think that Lu Meng can only have a rapid growth after Sun Quan's persuasion, which is not necessarily wrong, but it needs to be reminded that Lu Meng can not be underestimated before the persuasion.

Historically, Lü Meng participated in many large-scale battles in Jiangdong after Sun Quan took power, including the three battles against Huangzu, Chibi and Jiangling, the crusade against Xie Qi, the third battle of Wancheng, the operation to pacify the Luling thieves, the two battles of Weixu, the second battle of Hefei, the first conflict between Sun and Liu Jingzhou and the later battle of Xiangfan.

In Sun Quan's three large-scale battles against Huang Zu, Lü Meng participated in the first and third times, and the second time was uncertain, among which Lü Meng in the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208) when Sun Quan crusaded against Huang Zu for the third time, Lü Meng directly killed Chen Qi, the governor of the navy under Huang Zu at that time, Huang Zu abandoned the army and fled after hearing about it, and was captured and killed by Sun Quan's army.

In the same year, Lü Meng followed Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu Yanjiang to fight against Cao Cao, defeated Cao's army in the Battle of Chibi, and then further crusaded against Jiangling, Cao Ren, who was stationed in Jiangling at that time, sent troops to crusade against Gan Ning, who was fighting in Yiling, Gan Ning was surrounded by Cao Ren's army, Zhou Yu had few soldiers at that time, so everyone was unwilling to divide troops to rescue Gan Ning, it was Lü Meng who persuaded Zhou Yu to divide his troops, thinking that leaving Ling Tong was enough to resist Cao Ren for ten days, and afterwards Zhou Yu followed Lü Meng's suggestion, and sent troops to rescue Gan Ning with him, and also left 300 people to block the back road of Cao's army, and finally won a big victory, and the captives are countless.

Cao Cao and Sun Quan held the Jianghuai period, a large area of migration of the people, resulting in the Jianghuai area only Anhui City and Hefei still have the people to stay, the beginning of the two places are occupied by the Cao army, Lv Meng persuaded Sun Quan to send troops to seize Anhui City, Sun Quan listened to Lv Meng's advice, personally led the army to crusade against Zhu Guang in Anhui City, broke it, in this battle, Lv Meng was the first, Gan Ning second, after the war Sun Quan to Lv Meng for the Lujiang Taishou.

Before the First Battle of the Wetsukou, Sun Quan wanted to establish the Wetsu Dock, but the generals thought it was unnecessary, and it was Lü Meng who pointed out the necessity of this move. In the Second Battle of Misukou, Sun Quan used Lü Meng as the governor to fight against Cao Cao and defeat Cao before the advance of Cao's army was ready.

During the second battle of Hefei, Sun Quan was unable to conquer for a long time, and was ready to retreat from Hefei, but was intercepted by Zhang Liao in Xiaoyaojin, when the situation was critical, Lü Meng and Xuan Tong and others defended Sun Quan to the death, and finally Sun Quan was able to escape and ascend to heaven.

In the Jingzhou conflict in the twentieth year of Jian'an (215), Sun Quan sent Lü Meng to seize the three counties of Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang in the south of Jingzhou, and the neighboring Changsha and Guiyang counties surrendered to the wind, only Lingling Taishou Hao Pu defended the city and did not surrender, and Liu Bei personally led tens of thousands of troops to support Guan Yu after learning the news, Sun Quan then asked Lü Meng to support Lu Su first, Lingling Zhi put aside in advance, Lü Meng learned the news and used Hao Pu's friend Deng Xuanzhi to deceive and open the city gate, and occupied Lingling before returning to the army.

And the most glorious moment of Lu Meng's life was to capture Nanjun and eliminate Guan Yu. Unlike his predecessor, Lu Su, the commander of the Western Front, Lü Meng did not insist on uniting with Guan Yu, but hoped to control Jingzhou in his own hands, and instead saw Guan Yu as a potential threat to Jiangdong. After Guan Yu launched the Battle of Xiangfan, Lü Meng finally succeeded in persuading Sun Quan to take action against Guan Yu, Lü Meng first took the troops back to Jiangdong to lower Guan Yu's vigilance, and then recommended the newcomer Lu Xun as a temporary substitute for himself, further paralyzing Guan Yu, Guan Yu was finally fooled by the people in Jiangdong, and transferred away the troops that were originally stationed in Jingzhou to guard against themselves, after learning that Jingzhou was empty, Lü Meng decisively sent troops, and forced Mi Fang, Dr. Ren and other Jingzhou generals in one fell swoop, occupying Guan Yu's lair, and then Lü Meng was holding Guan Yu's relatives hostage, With the technique of attacking the heart, Guan Yu's betrayal was separated, and soon the army was defeated and captured, and he was ordered to be executed.

Lü Meng belongs to Sun Quan's lineage, which is different from Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and other old ministers of the Sun family, he was promoted step by step by Sun Quan after Sun Ce's death, and Lü Meng did not live up to Sun Quan's expectations, and finally grew from a sharp general to an undefeated commander, and Lü Meng is still a native of Runan, belongs to the Jiangbei faction, and has not a deep foundation in Jiangdong, if it is not for Lü Meng who died too early, then he is very likely to control the military power of Jiangdong for a long time, and it is even entirely possible to become a commander.

【Lu Meng's evaluation】

Lu Meng was very adventurous when he was young, in order to pursue fame and fortune, he dared to fight with the soldiers without listening to his brother-in-law and mother, and later killed people directly because he was despised, but Xin Hao interceded, and Lu Meng escaped. Later, Sun Ce died, Sun Quan was ready to reorganize the troops, and Lu Meng, who was flexible, took the opportunity to borrow money to dress up the army, turned over in one fell swoop, and was valued by Sun Quan.

In the early stage, Lü Meng and Gan Ning were similar, brave in battle, and belonged to the list of fierce generals, but later Lü Meng studied poetry and books hard, and also made great progress in strategy, becoming a wise general, and deceiving Lingling Taishou Hao Pu is a classic.

However, in general, Lü Meng is good at improvisation in terms of strategy, but he is still slightly lacking in long-term planning, and when dealing with Guan Yu, Lü Meng has not been able to make some suggestions for Liu Bei's revenge in the future and Cao Wei's possible robbery.
