The three kingdoms, the heroes in the chaotic world of horseback riding, the love of children and the world and the family intertwined into a song, a long time is a thousand years, and now look back, how much love, hate, sorrow and joy like smoke, the hazy figure of Sun Shangxiang hidden in the smoke, her name is widely known, but her story is not only heard by future generations so simple, behind another legend... ...

  

  Without Luo Guanzhong's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Sun Shangxiang would have been a woman who was passed over because there is very little about her in the official history - in the 14th year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, who was dozens of years older than her, a marriage that had nothing to do with love but was simply a political necessity that brought the two together. The marriage was not a love affair, but a political alliance between the two countries, and Sun Quan took her back to East Wu, and Liu Bei broke off the relationship with her. Since then, Sun Shangxiang also disappeared from history, no one knows, how she ended up, folk rumors that she threw herself into the river for Liu Bei, but it is nonsense. However, although the official history is not recorded, but we can still see her later from the traces, through the fog. And all this has to start with a person, that person is Lu Xun.

  

  Revealed Sun Shangxiang: first married to Liu Bei, after the birth of a son for Lu Xun

  

  If you say, in the history of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Shangxiang only sees the first half of life, not see the second half of life, then, Lu Xun is just the opposite, Lu Xun's first half of life seems to be the white fog hidden general, he is the son of whom and so on all do not know, he is known is that he was thirty-three years old that married, forty-three years old that year, his wife gave birth to a son Lu resistance, Lu Xun's wife whose name in history is not available, only know her surname Sun, people called Lu Sun. People called Lu Sun. And this is also Lu Sun's most likely Sun Shangxiang. Why this statement? And read on.

  

  When Sun Quan conquered Wu County, the base was established in Wu County, which is the old home of Lu Xun. Lu's family was a famous local family, and according to Sun Quan's character, he would definitely befriend them at that time, so it is not difficult to speculate that he and Sun's family must have known each other for several years before Lu Xun's career at the age of twenty-one, and he and Sun Shangxiang must have known each other as well.

  

  As we all know, Lu Xun was almost an invincible military god in the second half of his life, often lamenting his late success, but if you read the history books carefully, you will find that Lu Xun was not a late success. Lu Xun's name of God is not vainglorious, conquering the mountain Yue is also enough to show that his talent is not mediocre, but why he has long been buried talent? Because his talent is deliberately ignored, here also have to insert a sentence, Lu and Sun as early as in Sun Ce attack Lujiang had a conflict. Lu Xun just one into the curtain was immediately sent by Sun Quan to Haichang, that is a place where the people do not live, and a stay is seven years. Seven years in that era, a man with a will of seven years can be known around the world. When Lu Xun began to emerge, he got Sun Quan's appreciation, Sun Quan also began to reuse him, and he finally leveled up, At this point, coincidentally Sun Shangxiang divorced back to Wu.

  

  Since then, it is not difficult to speculate that Lu Xun and Sun Shangxiang, probably had a relationship, the feelings in their still young sprouted, but not before the roots sprouted, Sun Shangxiang became a political sacrifice, two lovers, but fate. Sun Shangxiang married Liu Bei, and Lu Xun so far does not speak of marriage, until Sun Shangxiang and Liu Bei break up, or rather, Sun Liu's alliance ruptures, at this time they reunited again.

  

  Of course, this time someone will ask, since the Lu family and the Sun family earlier grudge, Sun Quan also has not been treating Lu Xun, but also Sun Shangxiang married him? Because Sun Quan is a politician. In Sun Quan's eyes, Lu Xun has talent but Sun Quan does not feel comfortable using him, and now, Sun Shangxiang returned, and Sun Quan also needs talent, if Sun Shangxiang remarried Lu Xun, he fulfilled a relationship with the same time, also enlisted Lu Xun this person, why not? Moreover, judging from Lu Xun's deadly loyalty to Sun Quan in the latter half of his life, Sun Quan's idea was right.

  

  Sun Shangxiang is the sister of Lord Wu, Liu Bei's wife, by definition, she is also a role in history, there is no record after returning to Eastern Wu, and Lu Xun, at least later to the Prime Minister, his wife in history is not likely to leave no record, but, in history, Sun Shangxiang, Lu Xun, Lu Xun's wife, this large area is blurred. Adding the delicate relationship between Sun Quan and Lu Xun changes, perhaps, the only explanation for all this is that Lu Xun did marry Sun Shangxiang, of course, this process is also a great deal of effort, first, Sun Shangxiang has to "die", she must "disappear" in history, second The first is that Sun Shangxiang must "die", she must "disappear" from history, and the second is that the wife of Lu Xun can not be bright in history for life. That's why, when we look at history again, we always feel that there is something between them but can not say anything.

  

  In fact, about Sun Shangxiang later married Lu Xun, there have been rumors, but only in the wild history, but also sometimes the wild history is not untrustworthy, it can tell us from the side many things that history does not tell us, for example, our heart hero Zhao Yun, the history does not record too many of his achievements, almost all of the wild history to add so that the wild history sometimes also provides us with a lot of imagination, and Those imaginations, and not necessarily untrue.

  

  Sun Shangxiang is a heart-wrenching woman, born in a chaotic world, marriage is not by itself, if she is finally together with Lu Xun, it is not lost a kind of happiness.
