Lu Xun was born in Huating and lost his father when he was young. He followed his grandfather Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, to study in rensuoshu county.

At the beginning of the first year of Xingping (194) in the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the discord between Yuan Shu and Lu Kang, Yuan Shu sent sun CE to attack Lujiang, and Lu Kang held on for two years. By the end of the second year of Xingping (195), Lujiang city was conquered by sun CE. More than a month later, Lu Kang died. Before that, Lu Kang had sent Lu Xun and his relatives to Wujun. During the two-year war against sun CE, nearly half of the Lu family died because of famine and war. Lu Kang's youngest son, Lu Xun's father, Lu Ji, is six years younger than Lu Xun, so Lu Xun helps him support his family.

At that time, Lu Ji and Gu Shao were the most famous people in Wu County, followed by Lu Xun, Zhang Dun, bu Jing and Wu can.

Shishi shogunate

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, sun CE died because he was assassinated by Xu Gong's three disciples. Sun Quan led his followers and became a general. He recruited handsome and famous people.

In the eighth year of Jian'an (203), when Lu Xun was 21 years old, he joined the Sun Quan government and became a member of the Sun Quan ruling group. He served as an official in the East and West, and presided over secretarial work. Later, he served as the tuntian Duwei of Haichang (now Haining, Zhejiang) and the magistrate of Haichang county. Haichang in successive years of drought, he opened a warehouse to relieve the poor, organize production self-help, ease the disaster, so deeply popular..

The expedition to Shanyue

At that time, there were many hidden people in Wujun, Kuaiji and Danyang (now northeast Dangtu, Anhui). Lu Xun wrote to Sun Quan about his interests and asked him to recruit him. At that time, pan Lin, the commander of mountain bandits in Kuaiji, rebelled for many years, but the government could not pacify him. Then he recruited Lu pingxun. At that time, Lu Xun had more than 2000 people under him.

In the 21th year of Jian'an (216), the commander-in-chief of the bandits in Poyang was particularly in turmoil, which had a great influence. Lu Xun led his army and cooperated with general He Qi of Fenwu to level him up and beheaded him thousands of times. Lu Xun was called captain Dingwei and stationed troops in Lipu.

To be a close minister

Through these wars, Sun Quan was quite fond of Lu Xun, so he betrothed his niece to Lu Xun, and often talked with him about the great strategy of governing the country.

In the 22nd year of Jian'an (217), Lu Xun suggested to Sun Quan: "today's heroes are fighting for supremacy on one side. The Jackal like enemies spy on the opportunity to defeat the enemy and calm down the war. Without a large number of people and horses, nothing can happen. The mountain bandits have old grudges with us and take risks according to the mountains. Before our civil strife is settled, it is difficult for us to plot the enemy far away. We should expand our army and select elite soldiers. " Sun Quan adopted his suggestion and appointed him as the right governor of Zhangxia to lead the pro Guard troops under Zhangxia. He was given the title of Lu Xunqi, who was then the governor of Kuaiji, Poyang and Danyang.

In the same year, Fei Zhan was instigated by Cao Cao to stir up an incident in Shanyue in Danyang. He acted as an agent of Cao's army and cooperated with Cao's army. Sun Quan ordered Lu Xun to lead his troops to the expedition. There were a lot of people in Shifei stack, but Lu Xun brought less troops. There was a great disparity between the enemy and ourselves. However, Lu Xun used the tactics of inserting more banners, distributing drum horns, sending people to sneak into the valley at night to blow signals and beat drums, and soon defeated feizhan's armed forces. Lu Xun ordered the Vietnamese residents to migrate to the plains, registered residence and farm fields, and selected strong men to join the army, so as to strengthen and consolidate the rule of Soochow. After that, Lu Xun returned to Wuhu (now Wuhu, Anhui).

At this time, Kuaiji Taishou Chunyu sued Lu Xun for illegal expropriation, and the people in the area under his jurisdiction were disturbed and distressed. After Lu Xun met Sun Quan, he mentioned that Chunyu Shi was a good official. Sun Quan asked, "what's the reason why Chunyu accused you and you elected him?" Lu Xun said: "Chunyu's intention is to recuperate the common people, so he sued me. If I slander him again to confuse the holy hearing, it will not last Sun Quan said: "it's really something that the elderly can do. Ordinary people can't do it." I admire his style.

Seek the feather to get the Jing

In 219, Guan Yu launched the Xiangfan war. Lu Meng and Sun Quan, the Huwei generals stationed in Lukou (now in the northwest of Puqi, Hubei Province), made a plan to capture Nanjun and Guan Yu.

In autumn and August, the natural disaster of "Han River overflowing and harming the people" occurred in the Han River Basin due to the heavy rain. Guan Yu took the opportunity to lead the water army to attack, capture and kill pound, which was a great shock to China. (Guan Yu's battle was later called "Shi You Da Gong" by Lu Xun and "Jian Shi you gong" by Lu Meng.)

In October of winter, in order to cover up, LV Meng called himself ill and returned to Jianye. He passed Wuhu and Lu Xun went to see him. Lu Xun said to LV Meng, "Guan Yu bullies others with his bravery. Just at the beginning of great achievements, he became arrogant and ambitious. He was too busy going north to be wary of me. If he hears that you are seriously ill, he will be even more unprepared. Now, surprise attack, naturally can capture him. When you see the supreme, you should plan well. " In order to prevent the leakage of the plan, Lu Meng perfunctorily said: "Guan Yu is brave and hard to fight against him. He also owns Jingzhou and gives credit to him. In addition, he has just begun to perform meritorious service and is more courageous. He is not the object to plot." When LV Meng returned to Beijing, Sun Quan asked who could command him in Lukou for him. LV Meng replied, "Lu Xun has far-reaching thinking, and only in this way can he be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Judging from his thinking, it will be of great use in the future. But now he is not very famous, which is not what Guan Yu is afraid of. There is no more suitable person to replace me. If he is to be appointed, he should be allowed to conceal himself from the outside world, not to appear in public, but to observe the situation in secret and look for opportunities, and then he will succeed. " Sun Quan worshipped Lu Xun, 36, as a partial general and replaced Lu Meng as a right governor.

Lu Xun wrote to Guan Yu when he arrived at Lukou. Taking advantage of Guan Yu's arrogance, Lu Xun wrote in humble words to praise Guan Yu, express his admiration for him, and express that he would never be an enemy to Guan Yu.

After reading the letter, Guan Yu despised Lu Xun and became more careless. He completely lost his vigilance to the east Wu. The troops left behind in the rear to guard against Dongwu were transferred to the front line to fight against Cao Cao. At this time, although Guan Yu won in the front, his rear was in danger. Guan Yu was just and self-confident, which caused dissatisfaction among his subordinates. Because of the untimely supply of military resources, Guan Yu vowed to punish the generals who stayed in Jiangling and the Public Security Bureau. Lu Xun knows all this information like the back of his hand.

Lu Xun saw that the time was ripe to break Guan Yu, and immediately reported to Sun Quan. Sun Quan then expropriated Guan Yu and ordered Lu Meng and Lu Xun to take Jingzhou at the same time. Lu Meng led the army to attack Gongan and Jiangling. In November, Lu Xun led his troops to Gongan and Nanjun of Jingzhou. He was appointed as the prefect of Yidu by Sun Quan. Fan you, the prefect of Yidu City, abandoned the city and fled, while the other stronghold officials and barbarian chieftains all came down. Then Lu Xun sent generals Li Yi and Xie Jing to attack Shu generals Zhan Yan and Chen Feng. Li Yi led the water army, Xie Jing led the infantry to break the Shu army, Zhan Yan and so on, and captured Chen Feng. He also led the army to smash Deng Fu, the prefect of Fangling, and Guo mu, the prefect of Nanxiang. Wenbu, Deng Kai and other ethnic groups in Zigui gathered thousands of foreign soldiers in an attempt to resist the Wu army. Lu Xun once again ordered Xie Jing to attack Wenbu and Deng Kai. They fled, and Guan Yujun appointed them as generals. Lu Xun sent in to induce him to surrender. Wen Bu led the crowd to surrender. The Wu army under the command of Lu Xun was invincible. It occupied Zigui, Zhijiang and Yidao, guarded the gorge and blocked the gate of Guan Yu's return to Yizhou. When Guan Yu got the news that he was in a hurry to withdraw from Fancheng, gong'an and Jiangling had been dedicated to Wu Jun by mifang and Fu Shiren. Guan Yu's army was in a dilemma, desperate, tired and wavering. In December, Guan Yu led a small number of cavalry to escape from the city, and was captured and beheaded by Wu general pan Zhang's Sima Zhong.

Before and after Lu Xun captured and recruited tens of thousands of Guanyu soldiers, Sun Quan worshipped Lu Xun as the right guard and Zhenxi general, and became Marquis Lou and governor of Jingzhou. Sun Quan praised Lu Xun's merits and virtues to show his glory. Although Lu Xun was already a general and marquis. Still want him to be the president of the state. So Sun Quan asked Lu Xun, a Yangzhou shepherd, to be engaged in driving for others and to promote maocai.

In the winter of the first year of Yankang (220), Cao Pi usurped the Han Dynasty as emperor and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Huangchu. The following year (221)
