In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu ranked first in military power, but he was widely criticized for being a "three slaves" and was eventually hanged in Baimen Tower by a group of heroes.
But in historical records, Lu Bu made great efforts to rebuild the Eastern Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Dong Zhuo's remaining party and was defeated. However, a reporter from Henan Business Daily found that the burial place of the hero Lu Bu is now desolate.
The legend of Lu Bu’s birthplace
It is recorded that Lu Bu was from Jiuyuan County, Wuyuan County. There are no detailed records of his childhood in history books. According to Lu Jiaxiang, a resident of Shengfeng Town, Wuyuan County, Inner Mongolia, there are many legends about Lu Bu in Wuyuan County.
He introduced that the Lu family in Wuyuan County moved in during the Zhang period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Lu Bu's grandfather was one of them.
His son is Lu Liang, who married Huang and had four daughters but no sons. One day, she and her husband went to Baima Temple to worship God and ask for a son. The night she returned home, she had a strange dream. She dreamed of a tiger rushing toward her. Huang was about to shout, but found the tiger lying docilely next to her. Huang was pregnant.
One day, Huang suddenly felt abdominal pain. At this time, the rainbow in the northwest sky was dazzling, and Wuyuan Mountain collapsed instantly. At this time, Lu Bu came to the world. When he was born, his umbilical cord was broken, his eyes were bright, and he could stand on his own.
Lü Bu recorded in history books
The Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms was compiled by historian Tan Qixiang. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country was divided into thirteen states, and Wuyuan County was under the jurisdiction of Bingzhou. At that time, Ding Yuan was the governor of Bingzhou and actually held local military and political power. Lu Bu was highly skilled in martial arts and became a general under Ding Yuan. Later, because of his outstanding military exploits, he was adopted as an adopted son by Ding Yuan.
Later, Dong Zhuo wanted to monopolize power by "holding the emperor hostage to command the princes", so he bribed Lü Bu to kill Ding Yuan and annex Ding Yuan's army. Lü Bu became Dong Zhuo's adopted son. Because Dong Zhuo's tyranny was unpopular, courtier Wang Yun and others plotted to get rid of him, bribed Lu Bu, and successfully assassinated Dong Zhuo.
After Dong Zhuo was killed, his subordinates Li Jue and Guo Si originally wanted to disband the army and retreat, but later they followed Jia Xu's suggestion and decided to summon the old troops to capture the capital. At this time, many of Lu Bu's generals also launched a mutiny as internal agents, which forced him to fight out of the capital with a few hundred cronies and defected to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao and others. Later he established a firm foothold in Xuzhou.
At this time, Lu Bu also wanted to use Xuzhou as a base to establish a career. However, because his power was too strong, he attracted a joint siege from warlords from all walks of life. In addition, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Due to the rebellion of Xu Wei and others, Lu Bu was finally defeated and surrendered to Cao Cao. At that time, Cao Cao valued Lu Bu's talents very much and was willing to surrender, but thinking of the fate of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, he finally killed Lu Bu at Baimen Tower.
On the invincible battlefield, one against six
Professor Zhang, the executive director of the Chinese Historical Document Research Association, has been studying the historical atlas of China for many years. He believes that when it comes to force, Lu Bu is undoubtedly the most powerful one in the novel.
When Lu Bu served under Dong Zhuo, he defended Dong Zhuo from the warlord's attack. Wang Kuang had a general named Fang Yue who was a famous Hanoi soldier. He was the invincible "gun god" in people's eyes at that time, but he only fought with Lu Bu for five rounds before stabbing him.
But the most famous one is the "Three Heroes vs. Lu Bu" in the fifth round of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Gongsun Zan met Lu Bu and lost within a few rounds. When Lu Bu was chasing after him, he was stopped by Zhang Fei. The two fought for more than fifty rounds, with neither victory nor defeat. At this time, Guan Yu also joined the battle group and attacked Lu Bu with Zhang Fei. There was no winner in thirty rounds. Liu Bei also raised his sword to fight, and the three of them surrounded Lu Bu. Lu Bu gradually couldn't stand it anymore and withdrew from the battle.
In addition, when Lu Bu fought against Cao Cao, he fought with his general Chu Xu and ended in a draw after twenty rounds. Later, Cao Cao sent Dian Wei, Xia, Li Dian, and others to attack Lu Bu, and finally drove him back. These six generals
According to the staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau of Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City, Lu Bu’s tomb is near Lanfeng Village, Xiufeng Town, Xiuwu County, Jiaozuo City. "Lü Bu's Tomb" has been listed as a county-level cultural relic protection unit.
During the busy farming season, a large harvester shuttles through the wheat fields not far northwest of Lanfeng Village. Near the wheat field, there is a barren mound about 15 meters long, 8 meters wide and 4 meters high, covered with weeds and trees. Local villager Teacher Xue introduced that this wasteland is Lu Bu’s tomb.
"In the past, this tomb was much larger and rounder. Later, villagers took soil here to build houses, etc., and it became what it is now." He said that Lu Bu's tomb was stolen After digging many times, the door of the tomb was exposed and was refilled by local villagers.
According to records, there is only one theory about Lu Bu’s burial place, which is Xiufeng Town, Xiuwu County.
According to reports, Lu Bu once used the name, and the food city includes parts of today's Wen County and Xiuwu County. According to the custom at the time, "Feng Jun" was usually buried in his own fief after his death. The "Lü Bu Tomb" in Lancun may really be the burial place of the God of War, Lu Bu.
What does Diuxin’s story have to do with Lu Bu?
The reason why Lu Bu's story is talked about by people is inseparable from the story of one person, namely Diuximu, one of the "Four Beauties" in ancient China.
The story of Diuxim's greatest contribution in history is to let Lu Bu use a beauty trick to kill Dong Zhuo. However, historical romance is not the history of faith. Regarding the life story of Diusim, historians have always had four theories.
The first theory is close to the description in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and its deeds are almost the same. According to this view, after the story of Diuxim's plot to kill Dong Zhuo happened, he did not follow Lu Bu out of the city, but returned to Yunfu. Once, she worshiped and prayed for Yun Yun in the garden, and it was like a cloud covering the moon. Yun Yun said that her beauty "makes the moon hide behind the clouds in shame", which is the origin of the story of Diusim "turning off the moon".
The second view is that she was originally Dong Zhuo's maid, and later Lu Bu had an affair with her, which led to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu's father and son turning against each other. This is described in detail in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The third view is that the story of Diusim is Lu Bu’s wife. This statement is based on a record in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
The fourth view is that the story of Diuxin is the wife of Lu Bu's minister Qin. It is recorded that both Cao Cao and Guan Yu were interested in Qin's wife, but Cao Cao kept her as his own. Guan Yu was very jealous and killed Qin's wife with one blow. Later, the Yuan Zaju and the Later Han Dynasty's Biography of Lu Bu were created based on this incident.
