Is “Proposed the 'Couch Strategy' and urged Sun Quan to resist Cao Cao” true?
attested in history
The Records of the Three Kingdoms, Book of Wu, Biography of Lu Su records that Lu Su proposed to Sun Quan the 'Strategy of the Bedside' for tripartite division of Jiangdong before Zhuge Liang's 'Longzhong Plan'. (Original text: 「肃窃料之，汉室不可复兴，曹操不可卒除。为将军计，惟有鼎足江东，以观天下之衅。规模如此，亦自无嫌。」——Source: data/raw/sanguozhi/吴书·周瑜鲁肃吕蒙传.txt)
Lu Su
In official history, he was a far-sighted and brilliant strategist, but in the novel he is reduced to a simple and dull mediator.
