Lu Xun

Hi guys, You might be wondering what is on my photo, it is actually a Wu officer named Lu Xun. Let me tell you more about him, Lu Xun actaully served Sun Ce, the ruler of Wu but after that died and passed the running of Wu to Sun Quan. As a military commader, he managed to pacify the south eastern tribes of Yue and brought then within Chinese influence. As a civil officer, he was successful in integrating northern refugees and minorities and economic structure of Wu. In 208 AD, The Sun-Liu alliance defeated the powerful warlord Cao Cao at Chi Bi, halting his southern advance and cemeting Wu's place in the Three Kingdoms. After the battle, Liu Bei had virtually no land for himself, so Sun Quan agreed to lend a part of Jing Province to Liu Bei until he captured the lands of Shu for himself. In 219 AD, Liu Bei has captured Shu, but did not want to return Jing Province back to Sun Quan, instead he sent Guan Yu, his sworn brother to guard Jing away from intruders. An opportunity arrived to Lu Xun when Guan Yu begin his campaign againest Cao Cao's kingdom, Cao Wei. Lu Xun proposed an idea to Sun Quan and it was set out. Lu Xun pretended to take command of L.u Meng's armed forces and sent a flattering letter to Guan Yu, saying that his skills were superior and he wanted to fight with Guan Yu. Guan Yu took the bait and say that he did not fear a young officer and he dropped his guard. Lu Meng and Lu Xun begin a lighting attack and snatched back Jing Province even before Guan Yu knew. Lu Meng then asked families members of Guan Yu's army to write letters to them. After that Guan Yu's army all returned to thier families, deserting Guan Yu. Guan Yu tried to escaped back to Shu, but was captured and executed. I will stop here as this post is very long.
