History vs. fiction
A famous general of Eastern Wu who, according to official history, was a pillar of the state and defeated Liu Bei at the Battle of Xiaoting.
- attestedAt the Battle of Xiaoting, he used fire to burn the enemy's linked camps and routed the Shu army.
The Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, Biography of Lu Xun records that Lu Xun held his ground at Yiling without engaging, waiting for the opportunity to use fire attack to defeat Liu Bei's over forty camps and destroy the main force of Shu. (Original text: 「乃敕各持一把茅，以火攻拔之。一尔势成，通率诸军同时俱攻，斩张南、冯习及胡王沙靡柯等首，破其四十馀营。备将杜路、刘宁等穷逼请降。」——Source: data/raw/sanguozhi/吴书·陆逊传.txt)
- novel inventionHe was trapped in Zhuge Liang's Eight Trigrams Formation and rescued by Huang Chengyan.
The official history in 「《三国志·吴书·陆逊传》」 contains no record of Lu Xun being trapped in the Eight Formation Diagram; in the novel, Huang Chengyan leading Lu Xun out of the Eight Trigrams Formation is an embellishment added for supernatural effect. (Original text: “逊问曰：“长者何人？”老人答曰：“老夫乃诸葛孔明之岳父黄承彦也。昔小婿入川之时，于此布下石阵，名‘八阵图’。”——Source: data/raw/sanguo-yanyi/第084回.txt)
