Aulus Plautius vs Lu Xun

Plautius commanded the Roman invasion force of four legions that landed in Britain. He defeated the local tribes led by Caratacus at the Battle of the Medway and the Battle of the Thames, establishing a bridgehead for Roman conquest.

Plautius captured the tribal capital of the Catuvellauni at Camulodunum (modern Colchester). This victory broke the main resistance in southeastern Britain and allowed the Romans to establish a fortified base and administrative center.

Emperor Claudius appointed Plautius as the first Roman governor of the new province of Britannia. Plautius oversaw the initial organization of the province, including the establishment of a client kingdom for the Iceni and the construction of roads.

Plautius was granted an ovation (a lesser triumph) by Claudius for his conquest of Britain. He was the first Roman general to receive this honor for a campaign in Britain. The ovation included a procession and the display of captured spoils.

Lu Xun, as commander of Eastern Wu forces, defeated Liu Bei's Shu Han army at Yiling. He used a scorched earth strategy and fire attack, destroying Shu's invasion force. This victory secured Wu's western border.

Lu Xun defeated a Cao Wei invasion at Shiting, using a feigned retreat to ambush the Wei forces. This victory repelled the Wei attack and maintained Wu's territorial integrity.

Sun Quan appointed Lu Xun as Chancellor of Eastern Wu, the highest civil office. Lu Xun served as chancellor until his death, helping to administer the state and maintain stability.

Lu Xun died in 245 AD. His victory at Yiling was a defining moment of the Three Kingdoms period. He was remembered as a brilliant strategist and loyal minister of Eastern Wu.
