Lu Bu

Lu Bu

Lu Bu (?)? He was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou. He was one of the heroes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Because of Xiaowu, Lv Bu was granted the posts of captains of riding and Hanoi by Mu Ding of Bingzhou. After killing Ding Yuan, he became Dong Zhuo's adopted son and gave him Zhonglang general. Suspected by Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun instigated him to kill Dong Zhuo. He moved to Wenxian county to be the Marquis of Wenxian county. Immediately defeated by Dong Zhuo's old Department, he fled Chang'an. Yuan Shu was rejected by Yuan Shu. He turned to Yuan Shao and was suspected by Yuan Shao. So he went to attach himself to Zhang Yang.

In the first year of Xingping (194), when Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian, Lu Bu contacted Chen Gong and others and entered Yanzhou to occupy Puyang. He had a bloody battle with Cao Cao for two years, which made Cao Cao disadvantageous in several battles, but he was defeated by Cao Cao and turned to rely on Liu Bei in Xuzhou. When Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were fighting, they attacked Xuzhou, made up with each other and attacked each other. During this period, Liu Bei and Ji Ling's fight was resolved by shooting halberds at Yuanmen.

In the third year of Jian'an (198), after LV Bupai defeated Liu Bei and Xia Houdun, Cao Cao went out to fight against LV Bupai himself and drowned him. Lu Bu was betrayed by his subordinates, captured and executed in December (February 7, 199).

Lu Bu is famous for his bravery and is known as a "flying general". It is sometimes said that "Lu Bu among people, red rabbit among horses". The actual weapon used by Lu Bu was spear. In the romance of the Three Kingdoms and other folk art images, LV Buduo was portrayed as the first strong general of the Three Kingdoms. Its weapon is also fictitious as Fang Tianhua halberd.

Life of the characters

Flying general is born

Lu Bu was born in Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County, Bingzhou, earlier than Liu Bei. (according to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, if the age difference between them is very small, Lu Bu is not suitable to call Liu Bei his younger brother.). Lu Bu worked in Bingzhou because of his skillful bow and horse, bravery and martial arts.

In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), Ding Yuan, who was then the governor of Bingzhou, was stationed in Hanoi. He appointed Lv Bu as the chief officer and was very close to him. After the death of emperor Hanling, Ding Yuan was summoned by He Jin and led his army to Luoyang to plot to kill eunuchs. He was appointed zhijinwu.

He Jin was killed by the eunuch. When Dong Zhuo entered the capital, he seized the power of the court, induced Lv Bu to kill Ding Yuan, and then annexed Ding Yuan's army. He appointed Lv Bu as the commander of the cavalry and swore to be father and son with him. He greatly appreciated and trusted him. Lu Bu is good at riding and shooting. He has excellent physical strength and is known as the "flying general". Soon after, he was promoted to Zhonglang general by Dong Zhuo and became the capital of tinghou.

When the Kwantung Army started to fight for Dong, Lu Bu also took part in the war, but he was defeated by Sun Jian because of his discord with General Hu Fu. Finally, Dong Zhuo moved the capital of Chang'an with Han Xiandi. Dong Zhuo knew that he was ferocious and evil, so he often asked Lv Bu to be his bodyguard and guard Zhongge. However, Dong Zhuo was very suspicious, and he once threw his halberd at Lv Bu because of Xu's frustration. Because Lv Bu had an affair with Dong Zhuo's maid, I'm afraid that Dong Zhuo would find out and feel very uneasy.

Before that, Wang Yun treated Lv Bu kindly because he was a strong man in Bingzhou. Since Lv Bu had a grudge against Dong Zhuo, he went to see Wang Yun and told the story that Dong Zhuo almost killed him. Wang Yun, together with Shi Sunrui and Yang Zan, was plotting to get rid of Dong Zhuo at this time, so he asked Lv Bu to be his internal agent. Lu Bu hesitated and said, "why is it a father and son? How can we start?" Wang Yun said, "the general's surname is Lu. He is not his own flesh and blood. Now it's too late for you to save your own life. What's more, father and son?" So Lu Bu agreed with Wang Yun, and succeeded in assassinating Dong Zhuo. He served as general Fenwu. He was appointed the third division of Feijie and Yibi, and was appointed Marquis Wen. He was in charge of the government with Wang Yun.

Two months after Dong Zhuo's death, his old subordinates Li Xi and Guo Si wanted to disband their troops and go back to the fields. On the way, they met Jia Xu to offer advice, summon the old troops and attack the capital. Lu Bu defended the city for eight days. Because of the old soldiers' rebellion in the city, Lu Bu was defeated, so they led more than 100 cavalry to kill Dong Zhuo's head. During this period, Lu Bu once fought against Guo Si in the north of the city. Lu Bu stabbed Guo Si with a spear. Guo Si was saved by the left and right army, so both sides stopped.

Fighting for Yanzhou

Lu Bu first took refuge with Yuan Shu, but because Yuan Shu was dissatisfied with his self-reliance on his meritorious service, he was very arrogant and reckless, so he was rejected. Lu Bu turned to Yuan Shao instead.

Yuan Shao and Lv Bu met Zhang Yan of Heishan army in Changshan. The Montenegrin army has more than 10000 elite troops and thousands of cavalry. Lu Bu often rode a good horse named Red Rabbit, which can jump the city wall and fly across the trench. Dozens of people, such as Cheng Lian and Wei Yue, who were close to him, rode to attack Zhang Yan's army. Sometimes he went there three or four times a day, and each time he cut down the head of the black mountain army. After fighting for more than ten days, Zhang Yan's army was finally defeated.

Relying on his military achievements, Lv Bu asked Yuan Shao to increase his army again, but Yuan Shao refused. Lv Bu's soldiers also robbed and plundered from time to time, and Yuan Shao began to hate him. Lu Bu felt uneasy and asked to go back to Luoyang. Yuan Shao agreed with his request, appointed Lv Bu as the commander of Sili school in the name of the emperor, and sent the Jiashi to send Lv Bu to get rid of him secretly. Lu Bu suspected that Yuan Shao had made up his mind, so he sent someone to play Zheng in the camp, and he escaped quietly. In the middle of the night, the soldiers went out and slashed Lu Bu's bed, thinking that he was dead. The next day, Yuan Shao got the news that Lv Bu was still alive, so he ordered to close the gate. Lv Bu was able to escape to Hanoi and unite with Zhang Yang.

Yuan Shao worried that Lv Bu was not good for him, so he sent troops to pursue Lv Bu again. All the soldiers were afraid of him, and no one dared to approach after him. On the way, when Chen Liu passed by, Zhang Miao sent someone to greet Lu Bu and gave him a big treat. When they parted, they held each other's arms and swore to get married.

In the first year of Xingping (194), Cao Cao attacked Tao Qian to the East and sent General Chen Gong of Wuyang to garrison the East County. Chen Gong took the opportunity to persuade Zhang Miao: "now the world is divided, and heroes are rising at the same time. You have a team of 100000 people, and you are in a place where you can fight on all sides. If you look at the world according to the sword, you can be a hero in life, but you are controlled by others. Isn't it too humble? Now the army of this prefecture is marching eastward, and the land is empty. Lu Bu is a brave man who is good at fighting and is invincible. Take him to occupy Yanzhou together, watch the world situation, and wait for the change of current affairs. This can be a lifetime. " Following Chen Gong's advice, Zhang Miao, together with his younger brother Zhang Chao and Chen Gong, greets Lu Bu and asks him to become a herdsman of Yanzhou and occupy Puyang. Yanzhou's counties respond to him. When Cao Cao knew it, he led the army to attack Lu Bu. Tian's surname in Puyang responded to Cao Cao in the city. Cao Cao took the opportunity to enter the city and set fire to the east gate to encourage the soldiers to fight against Lu Bu. Lu Bu first sent cavalry to disperse the Qingzhou soldiers, which led to the chaos of the Cao army. Lu Bu's cavalry general caught Cao Cao and asked him where Cao Cao was. Cao Cao said that the one who rode the yellow horse was Cao Cao. So Lu Bu pursued the yellow horse rider and let Cao Cao go. Cao Cao drove his horse to break through in a blaze and burned his left palm. Since then, the two sides have fought for many times and held each other for more than 100 days. At this time, there was drought, locusts and food shortage, and people ate people. Lu Bu moved his troops to Shanyang.

In the second year of Xingping (195), Lu Bu set out from Dongzhou again and led more than 10000 people with Chen Gong to attack Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao's soldiers all went out to harvest wheat. There were less than 1000 people in the camp, so it was difficult to keep the camp. Cao Cao then ordered the women to go up to the low wall of the fortress to defend, and all the soldiers in the camp, who were less than one thousand, put on a fearless appearance beside the barracks. There is a dike in the west of Cao Cao's camp, and a thick and wide forest in the south. Lu Bu suspected that Cao Cao had an ambush, so he said: "Cao Cao is so deceitful, we don't want to enter the ambush circle." So Lu Bu led the army to the south for more than ten li.

The next day, Lu Bu came to challenge again. Cao Cao ambushed half of his soldiers behind the levee, while the other half were exposed outside the levee. When Lu Bu's army approached, Cao Cao ordered his light troops to challenge him. After the two armies fought together, the ambush mounted the levee and killed him. The infantry and cavalry charged together to break through Lu Bu's army and catch up with Lu Bu's barracks before returning. Lubu retreated that night. Cao Cao recovered all the cities in Yanzhou, and Lv Bu fled to Liu Bei. Zhang Miao went to Yuan Shu for help, leaving Zhang Chao with his family and subordinates stationed in yongqiu. Cao Cao surrounded Zhang Chao for several months and killed Zhang Chao and his three clans. Before his birthday, Zhang Miao was killed by his taxi.

Xuzhou

In the second year of Xingping (195), after seeing Liu Bei, Lv Bu showed great respect for him and said to Liu Bei, "you and I are from the border of Northern Xinjiang. I saw the Kwantung Army set up to kill Dong Zhuo. But I killed Dong Zhuo, but none of the generals in Guandong accepted me and wanted to kill me. " He asked Liu Bei to sit on the bed in the tent and ask his wife and concubines to salute him, drink and eat, calling him a good brother. Liu Bei saw that Lu Bu's language was impermanent. He thought it was true on the surface, but he was not happy in his heart.

In July of the same year, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty returned from Chang'an to Hedong due to the fighting between Li Xi and Guo Si, and issued an imperial edict to Lv Bu to welcome him. Because Lv Bu's army did not have enough food to serve the king, Lv Bu sent envoys to apologize. The imperial court appointed Lv Bu as the general of Pingdong and the Marquis of Pingtao.

In the first year of Jian'an (196), Yuan Shu led his army to attack Xuzhou, and they were locked up with Liu Bei in Xuyi and Huaiyin. A month's stalemate will bring victory and defeat to both sides. Yuan Shu wrote a letter to Lu Bu, promising to send 200000 mu of rice to induce him to attack xiapi. So Lu Bu went east by water and land. When the army arrived at 40 Li to the west of xiapi, Liu Bei's Zhonglang sent Sima Zhangli, a Danyang man, to meet Lu Bu. He told Lu Bu that Zhang Fei and Cao Bao were fighting. There was chaos in xiapi city. Danyang soldiers were waiting for Lu Bu in xibaimen city March on a large scale and get to the bottom of the city in the morning. After daybreak, the soldiers of Danyang opened the gate. Lu Bu sat on the gate and commanded the army to smash Zhang Fei and capture Liu Bei's wife, concubines and children as well as his family members. At this time, Liu Bei was defeated by Yuan Shu and fled to Haixi, hungry
