Idioms and allusions

Lu Kang, a famous general in the late period of the eastern Wu Dynasty, was appointed Jianwu captain at the age of 20, and led his father Lu Xun's five thousand troops. In 264 ad, SUN Hao became the king of the eastern Wu Dynasty, and Lu Kang, 38, served as the general of the town army. At that time, the government of Soochow was very corrupt. SUN Hao was a licentious and tyrannical man. There were thousands of maids in the palace, who plundered the people and killed people at will by stripping their faces and chiseling their eyes. Lu Kang was very dissatisfied with what SUN Hao had done. He went to Shanghai many times and advised him to strengthen defense externally and improve politics internally, so as to enhance national strength. In his memorials, he once stated that he should do 16 things at present. However, SUN Hao ignored his suggestion. In 272 ad, Wu general Buchan, who guarded the Xiling, surrendered to the Jin Dynasty. Lu Kang immediately led the army to investigate Bu Cheng. He knew that the Jin army would come to meet Buchan, so he ordered the army and the people to build a solid wall around the Xiling. Wu general repeatedly demanded to attack Xiling, but Lu Kang always refused. When the fortification was completed, the Jin army had already arrived at Xiling to meet Buchan. Lu Kang led the army to repel the Jin army who had come to help, and then launched a fierce attack on Xiling. Soon they attacked the city and killed Buchan. At that time, Yang Hu, a general of the Jin Dynasty, guarded Xiangyang. Seeing that Lu Kang was good at attacking and defending, he knew that it was not easy to defeat Soochow, so he adopted a reconciliation strategy against Soochow: his subordinates plundered Soochow's children, and he ordered them to be released; they marched to the Soochow border, harvested Soochow's crops, and sent silk to Soochow as compensation, and the animals they had hunted had been injured by the Wu people, so they were sent back to Soochow. Lu Kang understood Yang Hu's intention and treated Jin merchants with the same attitude. They often sent envoys to communicate with each other to show their friendship. Therefore, a part of the border areas of Wu and Jin had a good situation. When SUN Hao heard that the border there was peaceful, he was very unhappy and sent someone to ask Lu Kang. Lu Kang replied, "one township and one county can't be without faith, not to mention a big country. If I don't do this, I will show that Yanghu is very powerful and does no harm to him." SUN Hao had nothing to say, but he still wanted to attack Jin. Lu Kang saw that the army was constantly on the move and the people were exhausted, so he said to SUN Hao. "The imperial court did not engage in enriching the country and strengthening the army, stepped up agricultural production, stored grain, let the talented people play their role, made the officials at all levels not neglect their duties, strictly enforced the promotion system to encourage officials, prudently implemented punishment to warn the people, taught officials with morality, and appeased the people with benevolence and justice. Instead, it allowed the generals to pursue fame, exhausted all their troops, continued to fight, and spent tens of thousands of money The soldiers were very tired. In this way, the enemy is not weakened, but we seem to have a serious illness ourselves. " Lu Kang also solemnly pointed out that the strength of Wu and Jin is different, and even if they send troops to win today, the gain is not worth the loss. Therefore, we should stop using troops and accumulate strength to wait for the right time. " However, SUN Hao couldn't listen to Lu Kang's advice. Later, Lu Kang died, and the Jin army crusaded against the east Wu. It went eastward along the Yangtze River, and the state of Wu was finally destroyed by Jin.
