Lu Fan was a young official of Runan County. Later he took refuge in Shouchun and met sun CE. After that, sun CE and Sun Quan made outstanding contributions to the stability of sun's rule in Jiangdong. Sun Quan compared it with Wu Han, the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty. After the establishment of the state of Wu, LV fan was appointed Marquis of Nanchang to former generals, fajie and Yangzhou.

In the seventh year of Huangwu (228), LV fan was worshipped as a great Sima. Before he was granted an official title, he died of illness. Sun Quan was deeply grieved and sent an envoy to present his great Sima yinshou. After Sun Quan's capital was built, he offered sacrifices to Lu Fan.

Life of the characters

Marry beauty with beauty

When he was young, Lu Fan was only a county official of Runan County, but he had a great appearance. There is a family surnamed Liu in the city. Their family is rich and their daughter is very beautiful. LV fan goes to ask for marriage. Liu's mother dislikes LV fan and refuses to agree to the marriage. However, Liu says, "do you think LV Ziheng will be a poor man for a long time?" It means that Lu Fan's "Rong Guan Zi Mao" is a noble person's appearance, so he decided to marry him.

Follow sun CE

Later, Lu Fan took refuge until Shouchun and met sun CE, who worked under Yuan Shu at that time. Sun CE thought that Lu Fan was different and treated him with courtesy. So Lu Fan gave sun CE orders to his more than 100 famous disciples, and since then he has followed sun CE. At that time, sun CE's mother, Mrs. Wu, was in Jiangdu. Sun CE sent LV fan to welcome Mrs. Wu back to qu'a and let her stay in her uncle's Wujing. Xu Zhou Mu Tao Qian identified Lu Fan as an insider of Yuan Shu and ordered all counties to arrest him. Knowing this, LV fan personally recruited experts, led the disciples to secretly take Mrs. Wu away, and then quickly returned to sun CE's place to successfully complete the mission.

At that time, before sun CE had established his achievements, only Lu Fan and his clan, sun he, often followed him. They often ran around for sun CE and did not avoid danger. Crossing the river to get a wife is one of them. Because of such a close relationship, sun CE also regarded LV fan as a close relative. Whenever he invited him to a banquet, he ate with Mrs. Wu and did not adhere to the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers.

After that, Lu Fan followed sun CE to conquer Lujiang County, crossed the Yangtze River with his army, and marched to the east of the Yangtze River. In Hengjiang and dangli areas, LV fan led his troops to defeat Zhang Ying and Yu MI, the generals of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, and then went south to capture Danyang and Hu, who was in charge of the lake. After sun CE conquered moling and qu'a, he incorporated the former Prime Minister of xiapi, Zuo Rong, and the rest of Liu Yao, and sent an additional 2000 soldiers and 50 horses to LV fan. After that, Lu Fan became the magistrate of Wanling county and defeated the Danyang bandits. After returning to Wujun, he was promoted to governor.

At that time, Chen Yu of xiapi was called the prefect of Wu County, and he was stationed in Haixi, and colluded with Yan Baihu. So sun CE personally led the army to attack Yan Baihu, and sent LV fan and Xu Yi to attack Chen Yu. LV fan's army defeated the enemy, and killed the head of General Chen mu. Chen Yu defeated Yuan Shao. After that, Lu Fan followed sun CE to attack zulang in Lingyang and taishici in Yongli. He pacified seven counties successively, worshipped him as the general of Zhonglang, and then went to Jiangxia county. After returning to the army, the Poyang area was pacified.

Assist Sun Quan

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), sun CE died of illness, and LV fan returned to Wujun to mourn. After that, Zhang and his younger brother took charge of the army.

In the battle of Chibi in the 13th year of Jian'an (208), LV fan made great contributions to the defeat of the enemy with Zhou Yu. After the war, he became the general of Pei, led the prefect of Pengze County, and was granted the capital of Pengze, Chaisang and Liyang.

After that, Liu Bei came to Jianye in person to marry sun. Lu Fan once suggested that Liu Bei be put under house arrest, but his plan was not implemented. Since then, LV fanqian served as general of Pingnan and stationed troops in Chaisang.

In 219, when Sun Quan was about to attack Guan Yu, Liu Bei's general stationed in Jingzhou, he went to LV fan's home and said to him, "if I had listened to your advice, I don't have to work hard today. Now I will attack Guan Yu against the current. You should help me guard Jianye. " As a result, Sun Quan successfully defeated Guan Yu and then returned to Wuchang. As a general of Jianwei, LV Fanbai was granted the Marquis of Wanling, and led Danyang to govern Jianye, the old capital. He also supervised the army from the south of Fuzhou to the South China Sea, and lived in Liyang, Huaian and Ningguo.

Later, Wei generals Cao Xiu, Zhang Liao and Zang Ba led the army to attack the eastern Wu. LV fan led the generals Xu Sheng, Quan Cong and Sun Shao to resist the enemy in the area of Dongkou county. At that time, Lu Fan was appointed a former general and a fake Festival, and was renamed a Marquis of Nanchang. But at that time, the front line was hit by a strong wind, and Lu Fan and his army drifted to the North Bank of the Yangtze River that night, and were attacked by Zhang Liao, Wang Ling and others. Lu Fan's ships capsized one after another, and many soldiers died in battle and drowned, thousands of them dead. Lu Fan had no choice but to withdraw and defend. After returning to the army, Lu Fan was still appointed as the herdsman of Yangzhou.

lament at the death of a famous man

Lu Fan was very dignified, and all the scholars, such as Lu Xun and Quan Cong, were respectful and polite to him. Lu Fan's residence and clothes were very luxurious at that time, but he worked hard and abided by the law. Therefore, Sun Quan loved his loyalty and diligence and did not blame his extravagance.

In front of Sun Quan, someone said that LV fan and general He Qi had beautiful decorations, which were similar to the king's clothes. Sun Quan said: "in those days, Guan Zhong had the fault of exceeding the etiquette, but Duke Huan's tolerant treatment did not damage his hegemony. Now Ziheng and Gongmiao (he Qizi) are not at fault of Yiwu (Guan Zhongming). They are only well equipped and well-organized. They are only used to change the military capacity. What harm does it do to the rule? " So the man did not dare to say any more.

In the seventh year of Huangwu (228), Lu Fan was granted the title of grand Sima by Sun Quan. Before the seal ribbon was issued, Lu Fan died of illness. After hearing the news, Sun Quan mourned for his plain clothes and sent envoys to pursue and present the seal of Da Sima.

In the first year of Huanglong (229), Sun Quan returned capital Jianye. He passed through LV fan's tomb, but he could not help crying out: "Ziheng!" And tears for it. After returning to the capital, he ordered the ceremony of ethereal prison (the great ceremony used by the emperor to sacrifice to the state and heaven in ancient times) to sacrifice to Lu Fan.

After the death of LV fan, his second son LV Ju (his eldest son died early) attacked him.

Character evaluation

Liu Shi: would you rather be a poor man?

Sun Quan: in the past, Guan Zhong was more than Li, but Huan Gong was more than Li, and he was more than Li. Today, Ziheng's body does not suffer from the loss of Yiwu, but his instruments are excellent, and his boats and carts are strict and neat. This is suitable for military appearance. How can it damage the governance? ② Lu Ziheng was the founder of Wu and Han Dynasties. ③ Lu Ziheng was loyal, bright and upright. Although he was extravagant, he was concerned about the Duke first, but not enough for the loss. He avoided Yuan Shu and belonged to his elder brother. His elder brother was a general and did not lead the trilogy. Therefore, he worried about his elder brother's affairs, begged to be the governor, did the nursing and repair, and was diligent, which was similar to Wu and Han Dynasties.

Chen Shou: Zhu Zhi and LV fan were appointed as old ministers, Zhu ran and Zhu Huan were heard of bravely, and Lv Zheng, Zhu Yi and Shi Jixian had the talent of generals, which was the key to the construction of Shaotang. If fan and Huan passed through the pass and got a good end, the time when they were killed was different.

Fu Xuan: in Jiquan's succession, there were Zhang Zibu as his heart, Lu Yi, Zhu Gejin and bu Ji as his thigh, and Lu Fan and Zhu ran as his followers. They were assigned to different positions and took advantage of the gap. They did not act rashly. Therefore, they were defeated less in the war and lost to Jiang Nan'an.

Lu Ji: in political affairs, Gu Yong, Pan Jun, Lu Fan and Lu Dai took up their posts with utensils.

Zhang Ruyu: Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Gan Ning, Xu Sheng, pan Zhang, Zhu ran, Zhu Huan, He Qi, Ling Tong, Quan Cong and Lu fan are all wise enough to defend the masses and brave enough to repel the enemy. There is no one who does not obey the orders.

Hao Jing: 1. Zhu Zhi and LV fan are old and heavy, and Zhu ran and Zhu Huan are brave and brave. They all have the style of ancient generals. ② Heaven divides the cauldron, and the wolf resists. Chengba and Anjiang are good generals. The situation is deeply obstructed, and the river and the mountain are sinking. The situation is always northward, and the defense is the attack. Boats are good, but military riding is useless. To straighten all the officials, we should attach great importance to credit.

Li Yu: Wei had the divination of Guan Fu, Wu had the divination of LV fan, so the army must have been in the first place and captured in the emergency.

Anecdotes and allusions

No private invitation

When sun CE was in charge of Jiangdong, he asked LV fan to manage the finance. Sun Quan was young at that time. He once asked LV fan for private affairs. LV Fan said that he would report to sun CE first, but he didn't dare to make any claims. At that time, there was a gap. When Sun Quan acted for Yang Xian for a long time, he used to use money for his own private use. Every time sun CE checked the accounts, Zhou Gu, the hero, helped Sun Quan write false accounts, so that he was not questioned. Sun Quan was very happy at that time. When he later took charge of Jiangdong, he felt that LV fan was more loyal, so he trusted him. He thought that Zhou Gu cheated people to make false accounts, so he didn't use him.

Integrity and severity

Sun CE once played chess with LV fan after he pacified Danyang county. LV fan asked him to take the post of governor temporarily. Sun CE said, "you are already a general in charge of many soldiers. How can you do that little job for me?" Lu Fan said: "the reason why I stay away from my hometown and entrust my life to the general is not for my wife's sake, but for my career. It's like crossing the sea by boat with you. If one thing is not done well, we will both fail. So I don't think it's all for you. " Sun CE laughed, but did not know how to answer. After going out, Lu Fan rode a horse and called himself the governor. Sun CE appointed him as the governor and ordered him to manage the troops, making the army peaceful and harmonious, and implementing the law.

Compared with Wu Han

After Sun Quan's capital was built, he talked with Wei Wei Yan about LV fan at the general meeting of Wen Wu and Wu, and said, "I used to compare LV Ziheng to Wu Han. At that time, your argument did not stop. Is it a decision now?" Yan Yan withdrew and said, "I still don't understand this meaning. I think it's too flattering." Sun Quan said: "Lv Ziheng is loyal and upright. Although he likes luxury, he always takes the monarch into consideration first. This shortcoming is worrying. In the past, Lu Fan avoided Yuan Shu and voluntarily surrendered to his elder brother. Later, my elder brother took the lead as the commander
