In 217 AD, Lu Su died of illness in the army at the age of 46. Sun Quan personally attended his funeral, and Zhuge Liang also held a funeral for him in Shu. After Lu Su's death, the Sun-Liu alliance collapsed.

Lu Su was born in 172 AD and died in 217 AD. He was of Han nationality, with the courtesy name Zijing. He was about 1.8 meters tall today. He was from Linhuai Dongcheng (now Dingyuan Yongkang, Anhui). He was a famous politician, diplomat and military strategist in the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He was not only well-known for his military management, but also had deep thoughts and far-sighted insights. When Lu Su was born, his father died and he lived with his grandmother. Lu Su's family was extremely wealthy, but because none of his ancestors had served as officials, although Lu Su's family was rich, they did not belong to the gentry class, but were just a powerful family with some power in the local area.

Diao Chan, a native of Lintao, Gansu, is one of the four great beauties in ancient times, "Bi Yue". Most of Diao Chan's deeds appear in storytelling books, and finally Luo Guanzhong, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", sorted out and created a complete image of her.

According to folklore, Diao Chan was the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Wang Yun in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to save the Han Dynasty, Wang Yun instructed her to carry out a series of schemes to make Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu turn against each other, and finally got rid of Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu's help. After that, Diao Chan became Lu Bu's concubine. After Dong Zhuo's general Li Jue defeated Lu Bu, she followed Lu Bu to Xuzhou. After the Battle of Xia Pi, Lu Bu was killed by Cao Cao. Diao Chan followed Lu Bu's family to Xuchang and has been missing since then. From Diao Chan's performance in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", we can see that she is a sensible, brave, smart and witty woman.
