Not to mention the various calculations of Sun Jian's father and son, Wu Qizhe has crossed the Yangtze River with more than 1,000 elite horsemen on this day, and there are only a few generals accompanying him, including several female generals, including Diao Chan, Guan Yinping, Zhang Xingcai, as well as Zhu Rong and Lu Lingqi.

As for the other generals, they were all newly surrendered after occupying Jiangdong during this time, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and the young general Ling Tong.

When Wu Qizhe led the soldiers and horses to Lujiang County, Lu Kang, the Taishou of Lujiang, took a group of officials, large and small, as well as the squires of the wang clan in the city to greet him.

Before he arrived at the city gate, Wu Qizhe had already turned over and dismounted, and took the initiative to talk to Lu Kang.

The Lujiang Taishou in front of Wu Qizhe was already a gray-haired old man, but he was still in good spirits.

"In the future, Lujiang County will be under the rule of the general, and the lower officials will be relieved, lest Sun Jian's father and son in Huainan covet it from time to time." Lu Kang said with relief.

"What? Then Sun Jian's father and son dared to spy on the imperial court? Wu Qizhe pretended to be shocked.

"But it's not, general, then Sun Jian's father and son will send people to harass every once in a while, the old man is really annoying, fortunately they haven't mobilized the army to attack Lujiang County." Lu Kang said with a straight face: "But even if they lead the army to attack Lujiang, the old man will fight for his life, and he will defend Lujiang County for the imperial court." ”

In fact, Lu Kang is also showing loyalty to Wu Qizhe, Sun Jian's father and son have also thrown an olive branch to him before, but he has never looked down on him, and he is on an equal footing with him in the land of Huainan, and he actually wants him to take the initiative to surrender, isn't this nonsense.

"I know the old man's intentions, but how can I let the old gentleman personally risk Yashi to guard the Lujiang River, and in a few days I will send a large army to receive the Lujiang River, so that Sun Jian and his son will not find any opportunity to take advantage of." Wu Qizhe smiled and said with relief.

Lu Kang's old face turned red, but he couldn't help but ask: "Then I don't know how the general is going to arrange the subordinates." ”

"Of the six counties in Jiangdong, the old gentleman can choose any county." Wu Qizhe smiled, and couldn't tell that Lu Kang was still an official fan.

However, speaking of which, Lu Kang in history was definitely loyal to the Han court.

Lu Kang, whose name is Jining, was an official in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and a native of Wu County, Wu County. Lu Kang is a son of the Lu family of Wu County, loyal to the Eastern Han court, and has quite significant political achievements.

Lu Kang was known as a martyr when he was young. He was first recommended as Maocai by Zang Min, the assassin of Yangzhou, and then served as the county commander of Gaocheng. Due to the remoteness of Gaocheng County, the local law and order are very chaotic, every household is equipped with a bow and crossbow, and every time the county order arrives, the first thing is to levy the people's power to build the city wall. After Lu Kang arrived, he dismissed these people, the people were happy, and even the thieves were gradually subdued by establishing trust. The state and county commended him for his merits, and in the first year of Guanghe, he was promoted to Wuling Taishou, and later transferred to Guiyang and Le'an, and was praised everywhere he went.

After admonishing Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling of Han imposed a large tax on the people in order to cast bronze figures, and the people were poor. Lu Kang was mistaken by the eunuchs for slandering Shengming, but fortunately, after Liu Dai carefully studied the text, he explained that he could only be dismissed and returned to his hometown. However, after that, the imperial court re-recruited Lu Kang to serve as a councilor.

At this time, there were thieves Huang Sui and others in Lujiang County, connecting the forces of Jiangxia and other places, as many as more than 100,000, and captured four counties. The imperial court then appointed Lu Kang as the Taishou of Lujiang. After Lu Kang took office, the rewards and punishments were clear, and Huang Sui and others were defeated, and other remnants also surrendered. Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty commended Lu Kang's merits and named Lu Shang, the grandson of Lu Kang, as Langzhong. After Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, the world was in turmoil, and Lu Kang took the risk of sending filial piety to pay tribute to the imperial court, and was crowned a loyal general, with a rank of 2,000 stones, which was already at the level of Jiuqing.

At that time, Yuan Shu's separatist forces were stationed in Shouchun, the county of Jiujiang County, a neighboring county, and Yuan asked Lu Kang for 30,000 yuan of rice because the army was short of food. Lu Kang thought that Yuan Shu was rebellious, closed his door and did not associate with him, and he reorganized his combat preparations to meet the enemy. Yuan Shu was furious and sent Sun Ce to attack Lu Kang and surround the city of Lujiang. Lu Kang led the army to hold on, and his soldiers had gone out on vacation before, and when they heard the news, they all returned to Lujiang and climbed the city wall at night to help the guards. Lu Kang held on for two years before the city fell. A little more than a month later, he died at the age of 70. More than 100 people from the Lukang clan died in this war and famine. The court took pity on his integrity in guarding the city and worshiped his son Lu Jun as Langzhong.

Therefore, Lu Kang can definitely be regarded as a rare loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, but the reason why Wu Qizhe remembers Lu Kang is because the other party has a great grandchild.

That is, Lu Xun, the four generals of Eastern Wu, although not as brilliant as Zhou Yu in history, but compared with the other two of the four generals of Eastern Wu, Lu Su and Lu Meng can be said to be no worse, and even surpassed.

The most glorious moment of Lu Xun's life was the Battle of Yiling, which made him reach his peak as soon as he debuted.

The Battle of Yiling, also known as the Battle of Yiling and the Battle of Yiting, was a large-scale battle launched by Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty against Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, and was a famous successful example of active defense in the history of ancient warfare in China, and the last of the "Three Great Battles" of the Three Kingdoms. In July of the first year of Zhang Wu, that is, three months after Liu Bei became emperor, in order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu waved his troops to attack Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and the momentum was strong. After Sun Quan failed to sue for peace, he decided to declare himself a vassal to Cao Wei on the one hand to avoid fighting on two fronts, and on the other hand appointed Lu Xun as the commander-in-chief to lead the army to fight. After Lu Xun and Liu Bei held each other for seven or eight months, they finally defeated the Shu Han army in the Yiling area. The fiasco in the Battle of Yiling was another major loss in strength of Shu Han after Guan Yu lost Jingzhou.

Eastern Wu held Jingzhou, while Shu Han was severely damaged and his vitality was greatly damaged. The strength of both countries in this battle was affected, laying the foundation for the two sides to eliminate contradictions and jointly resist Wei in the future.

Liu Bei, the Zhaolie Emperor of Shu Han who was defeated in the battle, fled westward, but when he reached Yong'an in the east of Yizhou, he did not advance westward. Although Sun Quan's side won, he was still terrified when he heard that Liu Bei was stationed so close to the border, and sent an envoy to negotiate peace. Liu Bei, exhausted by the long campaign and defeat, agreed to an armistice, and died in April of the following year, leaving all the military and political power of the Shu Han in the hands of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, who immediately sent an envoy to restore the alliance with Eastern Wu and jointly fight against Cao Wei.

The defeat of Yiling dealt a heavy blow to the newly established Shu Han regime, which not only lost a large number of soldiers and supplies, but also killed many generals. The following year, the death of the monarch Liu Bei crumbled the country built on his fame, and domestic rebellions broke out. It took Prime Minister Zhuge Liang about five years to rebuild the army and put down these rebellions, and to raise the country's strength to the point where it could send troops from abroad.

For nearly 40 years after this battle, the territory between the three kingdoms remained basically unchanged, and the alliance rebuilt by Wu and Shu was never shaken again, and the situation of the three kingdoms appeared in a stable confrontation, and the Battle of Yiling was therefore considered one of the dividing points between the three kingdoms before and after.

It is precisely because it has such a great influence that it is called the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms together with Cao Yuan's Guandu and Wei Wu's Chibi.
