How do Lu Xun and Zhou Yu compare in talent?

If you really want to compare talent, realistically speaking, Lu Xun is much better than Zhou Yu and Jiang Qiang in all aspects except appearance, figure and music. Zhou Yu was a famous handsome boy during the Three Kingdoms period. His name is Lang, which means handsome. Zhou Yu can live by his face, but he only lives by his strength. Zhou Yu is not only born well and handsome, but also has military talent and strategic mind. Zhou became the military leader of Jiangdong Group mainly because Zhou Yu had a very good relationship with Sun Quan's eldest brother Sun Ce. In the same year, both of them were handsome, ambitious and hit it off, so they fought side by side and started a business together. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are regarded as early entrepreneurial partners and elders of Jiangdong Group.

After Sun Ce's assassination, Zhou Yu was the first person to support Sun Quan. He paid tribute to Sun Quan, which was absolutely unprecedented at that time, because Sun Quan was only a boy of 19 years old, not a gentleman at all, but the nominal supreme leader of Jiangdong Group. This move reflects Zhou Yu's loyalty and resolutely supports the successor appointed by the former leader. At this point, Zhou Yu also gained the trust of Sun Quan, though. Zhou Yu's greatest contribution in his life was to persuade Sun Quan not to surrender to Cao Cao, but to resist loyally and defeat Cao Cao, the most powerful force in the world at that time, perfectly in Battle of Red Cliffs. It was Zhou Yu's victory in Battle of Red Cliffs that eventually led to a three-point world situation. It can be said that Zhou Yu contributed more than half of the credit for the three countries.

Battle of Red Cliffs and Zhou Yu are the commanders of Sun Liu's allied forces. In the face of powerful Cao Cao, he is not timid at all. At that time, Cao Cao also set out from Jiangling to attack Liu Bei in Jiangxia County. The two armies joined forces in Chibi. Cao Jun was defeated by Zhou Yujun first, and then retreated to Wulin on the north bank of the Yangtze River, while Sun Liulian, led by Zhou Yu, was stationed in Chibi on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Later, Zhou Yu listened to Huang Gai's suggestion and agreed to attack Cao Cao with a fireboat on the day of surrender. Cao Jun caught off guard and was killed by fire, and Cao was defeated. Cao Cao first fled all the way to Jiangling City, and then continued to flee north to the Central Plains.

After Zhou Yu defeated Cao Jun in Chibi, Sun and Liu joined forces to pursue the victory, and then a year-long battle of Nanjun took place. Sun Bin led Zhou Yu's allied forces to surround Jiangling City where Coss was hiding. After a year of hard struggle, Zhou Yu led the army to drive out Coss and occupied Nanjun. In the battle of Nanjun, Zhou Yu first listened to Gan Ning's suggestion and attacked and occupied Yiling, posing a threat to Coss' flank. Then cross the Yangtze River and attack Jiangling City on the north bank. Zhou Yu sent Guan Yu to the north of Jiangling to stop Cao Jun's reinforcements. Finally, Zhou Yu fought Cao Ren in Jiangling, but was shot in the right rib by a wandering arrow. Zhou Yu endured the illness and still appeared in the army, which eventually boosted morale and defeated Cao Jun.

The most famous war in Zhou Yu's life was the battle between Battle of Red Cliffs and Nanjun, and it was also a famous battle of Zhou Yu. At that time, it was no less difficult to defeat the powerful Cao Cao than to unify the world. You should know that Cao Cao was the overlord of the north at that time and was good at strategy. Cao Cao never lost in a big battle, but he lost to Zhou Yu. Although Cao Cao's failure was due to pride and underestimation of the enemy, Zhou Yu's military ability was still the most important factor in defeating Cao Cao. Zhou Yu not only has military talent, but also has great vision in strategy. Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Quan put Liu Bei under house arrest, believing that Liu Bei would be Wu Dong's enemy in the future. When Zhou Yu heard that Sun Quan was going to lend Nanjun to Liu Bei, Zhou Yu immediately protested to Sun Quan, but in the end Sun Quan refused to listen to Zhou Yu. Liu Bei did become one of Sun Quan's greatest enemies later, as Zhou Yu had already seen.

If Zhou Yu dies, Liu Bei's development will be greatly restricted. It's really hard to say whether the three countries will have a tripartite confrontation and whether Liu Bei can grow and develop. It can be said that Zhou Yu is Liu Bei's nemesis, and it is extremely difficult for Liu Bei to have the opportunity to develop with Zhou Yu. Unfortunately, Zhou Yu died in AD 2 10 at the age of 36. Lu Xun's background is similar to Zhou Yu's, and both come from an aristocratic family. But Lu Xun's father died in his early years, and he grew up with his grandfather Liu. Unlike Zhou Yu, Lu Xun was invited by Sun Quan to visit his shogunate. Lu Xun has always been a humble scholar. Although the Eastern Han Dynasty was a master of civil and military affairs at that time, it was rare for a scholar to become a general of Soochow armies. Lu Xun gradually became a general of the Guards under Sun Quan.

Lu Xun was recommended by Lu Meng because he saw through Lu Meng's forgery plan. He played an important role in the Dongwu army's attack on Jingzhou. Lu Xun led the army to attack Zigui, cutting off Guan Yu's road to Chengdu. Finally, Ma Zhong captured Guan Yu alive and killed him, making great contributions. In the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun was reused by Sun Quan. Facing the attack of Liu Bei, an aggressive veteran wanderer, Lu Xun adopted the strategy of strategic retreat, led Liu Beijun to Yiling and stopped his retreat. But to consume the Shu army with natural barrier and look for Liu Bei's flaw. First, Lu Xun took advantage of Liu Bei's mistake of giving up the water army and camping in the jungle, and launched a fire attack, eventually annihilating Liu Bei's 50 thousand army. This can be regarded as the greatest achievement of Lu Xun's military career.

Lu Xun also defeated the famous Cao Wei Cao Xiu in the Battle of Shi Ting, almost completely annihilated, and Wu Jun won a total victory. This was the only great victory of Wu Dong's army in the Northern Expedition of Cao Wei, but the Northern Expedition was led by Sun Quan himself. After removing the external threat for Wu Dong, Lu Xun became the prime minister of Wu Dong, assisting Sun Quan to be in power. In the end, because he supported the prince, he chose the side station in the power struggle between the king of Lu and the prince, and was scolded by Sun Quan, and finally died of depression. It can be said that Lu Xun was forced to death by Sun Quan. If we compare the achievements of Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, we will find a problem. In the famous battle between Battle of Red Cliffs and Nanjun, Zhou Yu won by following the advice of his subordinates. For example, in Battle of Red Cliffs, Zhou Yu adopted Huang Gai's suggestion and successfully implemented it, while in Nanjun, Zhou Yu only adopted the strategy of Gan Ning and Monroe to win.

In this respect, Zhou Yu is very good at listening to the useful suggestions of his subordinates. Just like Liu Bang, he can listen to the correct suggestions of his subordinates and put them into practice. But when it comes to Zhou Yu's own suggestions, there are almost no suggestions from Zhou Yu in history books. They all adopt other people's suggestions. But Lu Xun is different. The Yiling Campaign and the Shi Ting Campaign led by Lu Xun were carried out according to their own strategies from beginning to end. It was his subordinates who made many wrong suggestions and were denied by Lu Xun. For example, in the battle of Yiling, his men asked to go to war, but Lu Xun refused. His men asked to save Sun Huan, but Lu Xun refused. Especially the battle of Yiling, the whole battle was under the control and execution of Lu Xun himself, and all the strategies came from Lu Xun himself. In this regard, Lu Xun, like Han Xin, deployed all the combat arrangements as commander in chief. No matter what opinions his subordinates have, Lu Xun acts according to his own intentions.

In this respect, compared with Zhou Yu, Lu Xun is much better than Zhou Yu. Lu Xun's plans were all made by himself, while Zhou Yu's plans were made by others. Who do you think is better? In addition, judging from the performance in the war, Lu Xun is also stronger than Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was the commander-in-chief of Sun Liu's allied forces in the Battle of Nanjun. A commander in chief was shot by a stream vector, which is equivalent to putting himself in danger. If Zhou Yu did not get an arrow from the right wing, but an arrow from the key, then the victory in the battle between Battle of Red Cliffs and Nanjun would be in vain. As commander in chief, Zhou Yu's behavior was impulsive and reckless, but Lu Xun did not make such a mistake. On the other hand, whether it is the battle of Yiling or the battle of Shi Ting, Lu Xun's mind is quite calm. His men tried to attack Yizhou while winning the battle of Yiling, but Lu Xun stopped them, because Lu Xun accurately determined that Cao Pi was going south.

Also in the battle of Shi Ting, Lu Xun also rejected Sun Huan's adventure suggestion. Although Sun Huan's suggestion has the possibility of expanding the results, putting the whole Wu Dong army, which is good at water warfare, on the land far away from the Yangtze River will undoubtedly become the target of Cao Wei cavalry, so it is better not to, so Ji Xun's decision is correct. Therefore, whether it is military or strategic, Lu Xun is stronger than Zhou Yu. Of course, Lu Xun is also better than Zhou Yu in governing the country and internal affairs.
