Chapter 1334 (2/2)
Lu Kang, also known as Jining, was an official at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and a native of Wuxian county. Lu Kang is a son of Lu family in Wujun county. He is loyal to the Eastern Han Dynasty and has made remarkable achievements.
Lu Kang was known as a martyr when he was young. He was first elected maocai by Yangzhou governor Zang min, and then served as Gaocheng county magistrate. Because Gaocheng county is located in a remote area, the local public security is very chaotic, every family has a bow and crossbow, and every time the county magistrate arrives, the first thing to do is to enlist the people to build the city wall. After Lu Kang took office, he dismissed these people, which made the people happy. He also took the method of building up good faith, and even the thieves were gradually accepted. In the first year of Guanghe's reign, he was promoted to governor of Wuling. Later, he was transferred to Guiyang and Le'an. He was praised everywhere he went.
After admonishing Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling of Han Dynasty imposed a large tax in order to cast bronze men, which made the people poor. Lu Kang's admonishment was wrongly slandered by the eunuch as a great disrespect for slandering Shengming. Fortunately, after the imperial censor Liu Dai carefully studied the admonishment, he explained that he only punished him for returning from office. However, after that, the imperial court recruited Lu Kang again to serve as Yilang.
At this time, the bandits Huang Zhen and others appeared in Lujiang County. They connected the forces of Jiangxia and other places, up to more than 100000, and captured four counties. The imperial court appointed Lu Kang as the governor of Lujiang River. After Lu Kang took office, he made a clear distinction between rewards and punishments, smashed Huang and others, and other remnants also surrendered one after another. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty praised Lu Kang's achievements and made Lu Shang, the grandson of Lu Kang, a doctor. After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the world was in chaos. Lu Kang risked sending Xiaolian to pay tribute to the imperial court, and was granted the title of Zhongyi general. He was ranked as zhong2000shi and was already the rank of Jiuqing.
At that time, Yuan Shu's separatist forces stationed heavy troops in Shouchun, a neighboring county of Jiujiang county. Because the army was short of food, Yuan asked Lu Kang for 30000 rice. Lu Kang thought that Yuan Shu was rebellious and kept away from him behind closed doors. He also renovated his combat readiness to meet the enemy. In a rage, Yuan Shu sent sun CE to attack Lu Kang and surround Lujiang city. Lu Kang led the army to guard. His soldiers had gone out on vacation before. After hearing the news, they all went back to Lujiang River and climbed the wall at night to help guard. Lu Kang persisted for two years before the city fell. More than a month later, he died at the age of 70. More than 100 people of Lukang clan died in the war and famine. The court pitied him for his integrity of guarding the city and worshipped his son Lu Jun as a doctor. Therefore, Lu Kang is definitely a loyal minister rare in the Han Dynasty. However, Wu Qizhe remembered Lu Kang because he had a great grandson.
Lu Xun, the four great generals of the eastern Wu Dynasty, was not as brilliant as Zhou Yu in history, but Lu Su and Lu Meng were no worse than the other two generals of the eastern Wu Dynasty.
The most brilliant moment in Lu Xun's life was the battle of Yiling, which made him reach his peak as soon as he started his career.
The battle of Yiling, also known as the battle of Yiling and the battle of Yiting, is a large-scale battle launched by Liu Bei, Emperor zhaolie of Shu Han, against the eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms period. It is a famous successful example of active defense in the ancient war history of the middle Guo, and also the last battle of the ”three major battles” of the Three Kingdoms. In July of the first year of Zhangwu, three months after Liu Bei became emperor, Liu, in order to avenge Guan Yu, attacked Sun Quan of the eastern Wu Dynasty with great momentum. After Sun Quan failed to make peace, he decided to face Cao Wei and avoid fighting on two fronts. On the one hand, he appointed Lu Xun as the commander in chief and led the army to fight. After a stalemate of seven or eight months, Lu Xun and Liu Bei finally defeated the Shuhan army in Yiling. The defeat of Yiling battle is another great loss of Shu Han's strength after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou.
Dongwu held Jingzhou, while Shuhan was severely damaged. The strength of the two countries was affected in this war, which laid a foundation for both sides to eliminate contradictions and fight Wei together in the future.
Liu Bei, the defeated emperor zhaolie of Shu Han Dynasty, fled to the west, but when he arrived at Yong'an in the east of Yizhou, he did not go west. Although Sun Quan won, he was still afraid to hear that Liu Bei was stationed so close to the border and sent envoys to negotiate peace. Liu Bei, who was exhausted by long-term war and defeat, agreed to cease the war and died in April of the next year. All the military and political power of the Shu Han Dynasty was entrusted to Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who immediately sent envoys to resume alliance with Dongwu and fight against Cao Wei.
The defeat of the Yiling mausoleum dealt a heavy blow to the newly established Shuhan regime, which not only lost a large number of soldiers and supplies, but also killed many generals. The death of the next year's monarch Liu Bei made the country, which was built on his reputation, crumble, and there were four domestic rebellions. It took Prime Minister Zhuge Liang about five years to rebuild his army, to pacify these rebellions, and to raise his national strength to the point where he could send troops abroad.
For nearly 40 years after the battle, the territory of the three countries remained basically unchanged, the alliance between Wu and Shu remained stable, and the situation of the three countries was in a stable confrontation. Therefore, the battle of Yiling was regarded as one of the dividing points between the former and the latter three countries.
Because of its great influence, it is called the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms together with Cao Yuan's Guandu and Wei Wu's Chibi.
