After Lu Meng killed Guan Yu in Three Kingdoms, why did Lu Meng suddenly die too?

Regarding the handling of this problem, the person I admire the most is Luo Guanzhong. Logically speaking, when Guan Yu died, Lü Meng followed. There seems to be some necessary connection between the two.

Based on this, in Luo Guanzhong's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Lü Meng crossed the river in white to attack Jingzhou, seizing Guan Yu's rear, leaving Guan Yu with no way out, and eventually defeated Maicheng. Luo Guanzhong also killed Lü Meng. , it is written that at the celebration banquet after Guan Yu's death, Guan Yu's wronged spirit possessed him and demanded his life.

Logically speaking, there is really nothing wrong with it, but if you believe in the power of ghosts and monsters, it would be a bit funny. In fact, Guan Yu's influence was not great at the time. Guan Yu was banned. The canonization of gods seems to have been still in the Song Dynasty.

However, Lü Meng’s death was too strange. Therefore, some people interpreted it according to the current conspiracy theories and based on the theory that whoever benefited was the murderer and concluded that the murderer was Sun Quan. Because Lü Meng killed Guan Yu, Sun Quan wanted to appease Guan Yu. Liu Bei was angry, so he attacked Lu Meng. Having such thoughts is also a blasphemy to history.

The failure of history education shows that it is beneficial to study more history.

Logically speaking, Lü Meng was not the direct murderer of Guan Yu. Moreover, Lü Meng and Guan Yu did not have a deep hatred. When the two armies faced each other, casualties were normal. They could not be killed just because they lost the battle? According to relevant records, before Lu Meng crossed the river in white clothes, he had always maintained a very friendly relationship with Guan Yu, and the two sides were still friendly forces.

Although, Lu Meng's process of capturing Jiangling was not very glorious. There was no glory in the war. Speaking of which, Jingzhou was promised to Sun Quan when Liu Bei joined forces with Wu to fight Cao Cao, but he regretted it later. This is also true. Even though it was unjust, Guan Yu was domineering, which also caused a lot of trouble for Soochow.

If Sun Quan was really afraid of Liu Bei's revenge, maybe he would have given up the idea of ??capturing Jingzhou at all, and maybe he would have sacrificed the heads of many generals who participated in the war after Guan Yu's death. Isn't that right? Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou? Sun Quan.

In fact, Sun Quan valued Lü Meng very much. It is recorded in "Three Kingdoms" that when Sun Quan learned that Lü Meng was seriously ill, he could not sleep at night. He even took Lü Meng to his place of residence and spent thousands of gold to summon famous doctors from all over the world to treat Lü Meng.

If we really understood the relationship between Sun Quan and Lü Meng, we would not speculate that Sun Quan was the real murderer of Lü Meng.

Both the Soochow regime and the Cao Wei regime had a huge crux, that is, the aristocratic families were too powerful. It is said that Sun Ce was assassinated because he wanted to weaken the Soochow family. After Sun Quan came to power, he also tried his best to appoint poor families. General Lü Meng was selected at this time. When Sun Quan took over the military and political power of Soochow from Sun Ce, he saw Lü Meng's troops and horses clearly displayed and the soldiers were practicing. He was very happy and wanted to reuse them.

Lü Meng also lived up to Sun Quan’s expectations and played a huge role in the development of the Soochow regime. Sun Quan and Lü Meng also had a very good relationship, and the two of them also had Sun Quan’s encouragement to learn. story.

It can be said that Sun Quan focused on cultivating Lu Meng. In the end, Lu Meng’s death was not what he wanted to see. After the death of a person like Lu Meng, it would definitely be detrimental to Sun Quan. Therefore, according to the murderer who benefited , is simply not established.

The real reason for Lu Meng's death was that he died of illness.

Lü Meng himself was in poor health

Before crossing the river in white, Lü Meng wrote to Sun Quan saying that Guan Yu left many soldiers in the rear because he was afraid that he would attack Guan Yu's rear. Lu Meng often fell ill, so he could pretend to return to Jianye on the pretext of medical treatment, which made Guan Yu relax his vigilance.

From here we can see that although Lu Meng was pretending to be ill, the reason why Guan Yu fell into the trap was that Lu Meng was really often sick. If Lu Meng was usually a healthy person, I believe, Guan Yu will not fall into the trap either.

The military sneak attack on Jingzhou wore down Lu Meng's body

The action of crossing the river in white was a particularly exquisite sneak attack. If you were not careful, everything would be lost. Lu Meng could It took a lot of effort to think of this strategy and implement it.

During Sun Quan's Western Expedition, he still appointed Lu Meng as the vanguard, led his army to advance in concealment, ambush the soldiers in merchant ships, and disguised themselves as merchants, so that the soldiers left behind by the Shu army were deceived, and they captured the city. Jiangling.

After taking Jiangling, Lu Meng personally presided over the work of appeasing Jiangling. It can be said that in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River from November to December, the weather turned cooler, which was not very good for Lu Meng. , taking charge of the main thing of the army is a big challenge in itself.

Excessive excitement under long-term fatigue can easily induce diseases

After the Battle of Jiangling, Sun Quan also believed that Lü Meng had made the first contribution in retaking Jingzhou, so he appointed him as Nanjun. It doesn't matter whether you are a prefect, a prince, or a reward, and your life has reached its peak, but that's all.

After a lot of hard work, a sudden victory, excessive tension, and excessive excitement are all psychological factors that induce disease.

During the Three Kingdoms period, it was really easy to die just from a slight illness.

For example, Liu Biao in Jingzhou. Some people say that Liu Biao was scared to death when he heard that Cao Cao sent troops to attack him. In fact, Liu Biao was also a hero when he was young. He went to Jingzhou to take over the entire county single-handedly, and later took over dozens of people in Jingzhou. Years, how can it be possible without some level.

But Liu Biao had a sore on his back in his later years. In July and August in Jingzhou, when he heard that Cao Cao was coming to beat him, how could he not get angry? Yes, it's normal.

Zongheng is from the Northeast and has never been to Hubei. However, one of my teachers told me that he once went to Hubei to work for a period of time and said that he could not stay there at all. In the summer, it was sweltering and breathless. , it was cold and humid in winter, so I finally gave up on the high salary and returned to the Northeast to find connections to find a job with a monthly salary of 2,000. I was very happy.

During the Three Kingdoms period, medical care was underdeveloped. 42-year-old Lu Meng was not too young. It was normal for him to suffer from some illnesses. As for some people saying that he died from the plague, Zongheng will not interpret it. Well, all in all, Lu Meng’s death was not as evil as rumored!
