After the failure of the Northern Expedition, the ministers who always advocated peace attacked Zhang Jun in front of Song Xiaozong, saying that the war in Zhang Jun was encouraged by Lu You. Later, Zhang Jun was removed from the court, and Lu You was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown in Yin Shan. Under the threat of nomads from Song Xiaozong, his determination to resist gold wavered. The next year, he signed a humiliating peace treaty with the ruler. After that, he never dared to mention the Northern Expedition again.
Almost ten years later, Wang Yan, the general in charge of Sichuan and Shaanxi, heard about Lu You's reputation and invited him to be a staff officer in Hanzhong. Hanzhong is very close to the anti-gold front. Lu You thought that if he went there, he might have the opportunity to participate in the War of Resistance Against Gold and make some contributions to recovering lost land. He was glad to accept the appointment.
When he got there, he once rode to the edge of the third pass to observe the area occupied by the Jin people. In Wang Yan's yamen, he often saw with his own eyes that the people in the areas occupied by Jin Jun risked their lives to send military information to Song Jun. These scenes made him full of hope for Jin's future. After a detailed investigation, he put forward a plan to Wang Yan.
He thought that in order to restore the Central Plains, Chang 'an must be recovered first, and asked Wang Yan to keep stores in Hanzhong, train his own team, make all preparations and be ready to attack at any time. However, the Southern Song Dynasty court in Lin 'an at that time had no intention of the Northern Expedition. Most generals in Sichuan and Shaanxi are arrogant and corrupt, and Wang Yan can't do anything about it, let alone send troops according to Lu You's opinion. Lu You was full of hope and failed again.
Soon, Wang Yan was transferred, and Lu You was transferred to Chengdu, where he served as a senator under Fan Chengda, the Anfu ambassador. Fan Chengda is his old friend. Although it is a superior-subordinate relationship, it does not pay attention to general official etiquette. Lu You's desire to resist gold cannot be realized, and he is depressed. He often drinks and writes poems to express his patriotic feelings.
Twenty or thirty years later, there were two emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty-Song Guangzong Zhao Dun and Song Ningzong Zhao Kuo. Lu You lived in seclusion for a long time in the Southern Song Dynasty. He pinned his patriotic enthusiasm on poetry creation.
In a.d. 1206, Han tu ZH-u (not ZH-u) became prime minister and launched a large-scale northern expedition. This makes Lu You very excited. However, due to the inadequate preparation for the Northern Expedition of Han Biaozhou and the internal contradictions in the imperial court, the last Northern Expedition failed again. Song Ningzong and a group of capitulationists killed Han Tuozhou, gave his head to the rulers and made a humiliating peace treaty.
Lu You's strong desire to recover lost territory and reunify the motherland has never been realized. He can only use poetry to express his love for the motherland and his worries about the nation. He worked hard all his life and left behind more than 9,000 poems. Among the poets in China, his works are the most abundant.
Extended data:
Lu You was born in an official's family, and his father Lu Zai was an official with patriotic thoughts and national integrity. He also associates with people with lofty ideals who are concerned about the country and the people. These people often talk about the rise and fall of the country and the demise of the nation in Lujia.
When they tell their grief and indignation, some are furious, some are filled with indignation and tears. Young Lu You saw this scene and was deeply moved by his parents' patriotic passion. Lu You studied hard since childhood, paying special attention to studying the art of war and practicing fencing. Whenever his father talks with those friends and scholars by candlelight, it is a good opportunity for Xiao Lu You to increase his knowledge.
He always sits quietly, listens attentively, and remembers his own thoughts. This patriotic thought and noble sentiments among family and friends influenced him. Therefore, Lu You has long established the ambition of "mounting a horse to attack the crazy Hu and dismounting the grass army".
Lu You never stopped writing all his life and made great achievements in poetry and prose. His poetic language is simple and fluent, and his composition is rigorous and orderly. He has both Li Bai's boldness and boldness and Du Fu's melancholy and sadness, especially his patriotic enthusiasm, which has a far-reaching influence on later generations.
His achievements in poetry and prose are also very high. Liu Kezhuang's Continued Poems in Houcun said that his words were "impassioned, and Jia Xuan could not pass", and he ordered 85 volumes of Jiannan Poetry Draft, which collected more than 9,000 poems, 50 volumes of Weinan Selected Works (including 6 volumes in Shu and 2 volumes in Ci), with 65,433 old notes. Calligraphy is vigorous and unrestrained, and the ink is "bitter and cold."
