Lu Xun bears the burden of humiliation Lu Xun was a famous general in the state of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He once served as the shepherd and prime minister of Jingzhou.In 219 A.D., Sun Quan led an army to attack Jingzhou and won a complete victory. Guan Yu who was stationed in Jingzhou was defeated and killed.In 221 A.D., in order to take back the strategically important Jingzhou from Sun Quan and avenge his sworn brother Guan Yu, Liu Bei, king of Shu, refused to listen to Zhuge Liang's advice and personally led an army to attack Soochow.At the beginning of the war, the menacing Shu army conquered Wu County, and it has been huge since then.It is six or seven hundred miles from Wu Gorge to Yiling, and there are endless high mountains on both sides of the river bank. Liu Bei camped along the road on the south side of the river bank, erected wooden fences, ordered the navy to land, and camped in the mountains and forests. Known as the long front of the 222-mile company.Liu Bei's army was in full swing, and Soochow was deeply shaken. On Kan Ze's recommendation, Sun Quan appointed the young Lu Xun as the governor and led the army to fight.Since Lu Xun was relatively junior among Wu generals, many of the generals under his command this time were veterans who had fought with Sun Quan for many years, and some were even relatives of the emperor.Therefore, they always showed an arrogant look in front of Lu Xun. They were very dissatisfied with the young scholar Lu Xun's appointment as the governor, and did not take his leadership seriously.Although Lu Xun is young, he is well versed in the art of war and is mature and prudent.Considering the complete victory of the Shu army and the high morale, Lu Xun decided to wait for work with ease and set up camp far away from the Shu army.He ordered his generals not to allow them to fight, and waited for the Shu army to relax before launching a fierce attack.The generals who had originally looked down on Lu Xun immediately expressed their dissatisfaction, talking about Lu Xun's strategy of waiting for work, and some even refused to obey orders and did not want to cooperate in the battle.Lu Xun had expected this to happen a long time ago, but he still carried out his deployment calmly, standing still, and stalemate with the Shu army.One day, Lu Xun gathered all the generals together, held the sword tightly in his hand, and said sharply: "Liu Bei is a famous strategist in the world, and even Cao Cao is afraid of him three points. Now, he has led an army aggressively. Attack our Wu land. He is our strong enemy, we must not have the slightest thought of underestimating him. I hope that all the generals will put the overall situation first and work together to destroy the enemy. Although I am only a scholar, the Lord entrusts It is a heavy responsibility that makes everyone become my subordinates. It must be because I have some merits. I must live up to expectations. I must endure the humiliation and shoulder the burden. From now on, orders must be followed, and those who disobey orders will be executed!" During the long period of the army's stalemate, Lu Xun was under tremendous pressure, but he had a firm belief and endured the humiliation. Despite the generals' discussions and the Shu army's repeated challenges and insults, he just refused to fight.After a long time, the fighting spirit of the Shu army became weak, and Liu Bei himself relaxed his vigilance.In [-] A.D., Lu Xun finally sent troops. He ordered the Wu army to attack with fire and set fire to the Qibaili company camp.It was a hot day at that time, and the temperature was extremely high. Most of the camps in Shu were built by trees. Once the fire burned, it spread and spread, which was difficult to extinguish.The Shu army was defeated, and Liu Bei fled in a hurry.Wu Jun was victorious.This is the victory earned by Lu Xun's persistence.
