Lv Dai, a famous Rugao player appreciated by Sun Quan, has repeatedly made outstanding achievements and lived a clean life.

Heroes come from troubled times. During the war-torn Three Kingdoms period, the ancient Hailing was once a sparsely populated place because it was located on the border between Wei and Wu. However, on this historical stage, a Rugao celebrity, Lv Dai, went down in history.

Lv Dai was a famous Wu Dong in the Three Kingdoms period. He fought in the south and fought in the north, opened up territory, was diligent in state affairs, and was clean all his life. He made great contributions to the development of Dongwu Anbang and left many legends for today.

Rugao is a city with a long history. It was under the jurisdiction of Hailing (Taizhou) before the Qing Dynasty, and it was not placed in Tongzhou until the second year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty. Lv Dai Tomb, originally an ancient town in Linzi, is now under the jurisdiction of Baipu Town due to the merger of villages and towns.

Walking into Linzi community, a spacious road appeared in front of us. A Lv Dai cultural researcher said that the place where Lv Dai was buried was called Levindang, and in order to commemorate him, this road was specially named Levin Road. There used to be Sima Port, Sima Port River, Sima Port Bridge and other places. Sima refers to the house of Soochow.

The car stopped in front of an alley and walked deep into the alley. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the inner details of the ancient town gradually emerged. Ginkgo Lane, Wu Qu Lane and North Lane ... The antique lane names, together with the century-old shops on both sides, seem to tell people about its prosperity.

Through the north lane, it is Lv Dai Tomb Lane. Collapsed walls, remaining brick carvings, broken blue bricks, cold moss and deserted courtyards are the status quo of Lv Dai Tomb Lane for all tourists.

At the end of the alley is an ordinary family, whose lintel reads 1, the tomb of Lv Dai Lane, and the tomb of Lv Dai is located on its east side. In midsummer, a large area of lush weeds covered the grave, and vines climbed to the top of the grave and surrounded it.

Only the tomb of Lv Dai, a warrior of the Three Kingdoms, carved on the tombstone reminds people that a famous warrior of the Three Kingdoms is buried here.

Qingshan is still there, with a few sunsets; White-haired fish and firewood on the river are used to the autumn moon and spring breeze ... As a famous person who goes down in history, Lv Dai's life is a wonderful chronicle of the Three Kingdoms. He witnessed an unforgettable time from the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty to the end of the Three Kingdoms, and also left a legendary story of fighting thousands of miles away and being clean all his life.

Statue of Lv Dai

In 256 AD, Lv Dai, the longevity general of Wu Dong, whose fallen leaves came back to his roots, crossed the Yangtze River for the last time and was buried in Levin (now Linzi Community, Baipu Town, Rugao City). After 1700 years, the grave of a generation of famous soldiers has been lost in the grass, but the story of his pioneering, fighting and clean life in Wan Li will be fixed in people's memory forever.

Lv Dai was born in A.D. 16 1 year, the fourth year of Yan Xi in the Eastern Han Dynasty, into an official family in the east of Hailing County in Guangling County (now Rugao area). This year, the Qiang people in the north began to rebel against the Han Dynasty. The following year, Hunan and Jiangxi blew the horn of peasant uprising. After that, the uprisings in various places were out of control, and this chaos was 104.

182 Lv Dai was 22 years old. That is, this year, Sun Quan, the founding emperor of Wu, was born. However, this did not immediately affect Lv Dai's stable position as a junior official in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The good times didn't last long. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world was in chaos, and the heroes rose together, and Hailing was involved in the war. The reflection of Wu Shu Sun Shaochuan said that the land of Xu, Si, Jiang and Huai, hundreds of miles away in Fiona Fang, was originally a land of plenty of fish and rice, and almost became bare land.

County officials in the Eastern Han Dynasty once crossed the river to avoid chaos. Lv Dai, a middle-aged man, thought twice and joined the ranks of refugees, hoping to find a job in Jiangdong.

In 200 AD, Sun Ce, the founder of Soochow, died. After his younger brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he recruited talents from all over the world. Lv Dai defected to Sun Quan's shogunate, but because of his humble background, he was not valued as much as Zhou Yu and Lu Su at first. Sun Quan only sent him to Wu Jun (now Suzhou) to try out as a county magistrate according to his resume.

In the position of Xiancheng, he fulfilled his duties and managed the affairs in charge in an orderly way, and soon stood out. Once, Sun Quan presided over the meeting and personally inspected the warehouse management in each county and the disposal of prisoners in the prison. Other counties were criticized by Sun Quan, but Lv Dai took his time to answer questions and won Sun Quan's appreciation. Therefore, Sun Quan kept him around and made him a clerk in charge of copywriting, and soon he was promoted to Yuyao County Chief. This is the biggest turning point in his life.

When Lv Dai arrived in Yuyao, the first thing he did was to build an army of 1000 people. These athletes recruited from the south of the Yangtze River later followed Lv Dai and made great achievements.

Shanyue, a descendant of Yue people, an ancient southern minority in China, has fierce folk customs and lives with the mountains. It not only captured battlements and killed Long Guan, but also was often used as an internal force by Wu Dong's enemies and became the confidant of Wu Dong regime.

In 204 AD, Sun Quan personally signed Huang Zu in Jiangxia. Just when victory was in sight, the mountains and rivers around Jiangdong took advantage of the emptiness behind Jiangdong to launch a riot, and the mountains and rivers in five counties, such as Dongye, Huiji County, also rebelled under the leadership of their leaders Lu He and Qin Wolf. In desperation, Sun Quan decided to use Lv Dai.

At that time, 43-year-old Lv Dai received an urgent order from Sun Quan in Yuyao and was appointed as the warlord leader. He immediately led his troops to Dongye, where he fought fiercely with Jiang Qin and other western captains, and finally captured Lu and Qin wolves alive and settled the five counties.

This is the first time that Lv Dai led the troops to fight. After this battle, Lv Dai, a late bloomer, was promoted to Zhao Xin's corps commander and became one of the main military generals in Dongwu.

In 2 15, the situation in the three countries was fixed. At that time, Lv Dai led the troops to cooperate with Lv Meng to seize three Shu counties, such as Changsha, and then joined forces with Lu Su to suppress Wu Miao and Longyuan who colluded with Guan Yu. Sun Quan appointed him as the satrap of Luling after his outstanding exploits.

When Wei Town in Lingnan was pacified, Nanxuan in southern Xinjiang was comparable to Ban Chao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and the biggest local power in Lingnan was represented by Shi Xie brothers. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao's forces retreated to the north, and Sun Quan's westward development was blocked by Liu Bei Group. There is no chance to develop northward, and Lingnan has become the place where Sun's power is determined.

In 2 10, Sun Quan appointed Bu Zhi as the secretariat of Jiaozhou (Jiaozhou includes today's Guangdong, Guangxi and north-central Vietnam), led the army to cut off the remnants of Liu Biao in Lingnan and forced the Shi brothers to submit. Although Sun Quan established Shi Xie as the left general, he was still in charge of the toe-toe satrap (toe-toe ambassador N, now northern Vietnam), but Soochow was not really at ease with Lingnan King who did not claim to be king.

In 220 AD, Cao Cao died and the Eastern Han Dynasty officially perished. That year, Sun Quan transferred Buzhi, the secretariat of Jiaozhou, to the front and transferred Lv Dai to take over the secretariat of Jiaozhou. After Lv Dai came to power, on the one hand, he valued harmony and accumulated his strength in the process of constantly suppressing the resistance of local forces in Lingnan, on the other hand, he tried to find opportunities to cut off the separatist forces in Lingnan.

In 226 AD, Shi Xie, who had been a satrap for 40 years, died. Shi Hui, the son of Shi Xie, wanted to rebel and separate from Wu Zili. Sun Quan, out of caution, wanted to remove Shi Hui from the position of over-toed prefect, change him to General Anyuan, lead Jiuzhen prefect (now central Vietnam), and take a captain Chen Shi as over-toed prefect, so as to further weaken Shi Hui's power. In this regard, he was more dissatisfied and rebelled against Wu.

Therefore, Lv Dai's Sun Quan suggested that the three counties in Nanhai be split up, with Jiaozhou and General Dai Liang as the secretariat of Jiaozhou, and the four counties in Haidong as Guangzhou, and Lv Dai as the secretariat of Guangzhou.

Sun Quan adopted Lv Dai's suggestion and sent Dai Liang and Chen Shina to take office. Shi Hui defied orders and openly sent troops to defend Haikou, resisting Dai Liang and others. Lv Dai knows that if Shi Hui is not removed at this time, it will inevitably lead to endless troubles. On the one hand, he wrote to Sun Quan, requesting to conquer disobedient Shi Hui, and on the other hand, he wrote to Shi Hui, warning his fortune and launching a political offensive.

At the same time, Lv Dai is advancing 3,000 soldiers, and immediately set out from the South China Sea to go to Jiao Jiao day and night. Shi Hui was shocked when he heard that Lv Dai's army had gone to Enemy at the Gates. When he was desperate, he had to go to see Adai naked with his brothers, Zuo Shi and Songshi.

Lv Dai continued to attack nine towns, and wherever the army went, it was invincible. Since then, Lingnan has really been brought under the direct control of Dongwu regime. Due to his merits, he was named Panyu Hou and promoted to General Zhennan. Later, Sun Quan merged the seven counties of Lingnan into Jiaozhou, which is still the secretariat of Jiaozhou.

During his tenure as the secretariat of Jiaozhou, Lv Dai once again showed his extraordinary talents. He sent officials to the south to publicize the country many times, and sent them to the southwest of China (Nanyang Islands) and many countries in Southeast Asia today. Overseas kings of Funan (present-day Cambodia) and south-central Vietnam have sent envoys to pay tribute to Wu. Lv Dai's move can be compared with Ban Chao's sending envoys to visit countries in West Asia in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Fan Wenlan pointed out in "A Brief History of China": Lv Dai's diplomatic action has since opened the formal exchanges between China and Hainan countries ... The Soochow regime resumed its actual rule over Lingnan, which was the victory of the central government over the local separatist forces. Lv Dai played an important role, and his contribution was not attributed to Zhou Yu and Lu Su.
