Profile

Lu Ji was the son of Lu Kang, Grand Marshal of Wu, and the grandson of Lu Xun. He has no biography of his own in the Records; in Chen Shou's main text his name appears once, in the record of Lu Kang at the end of the biography of Lu Xun. When Lu Kang died in the 3rd year of Fenghuang (274), Lu Ji's elder brother Lu Yan (陸晏) succeeded him, and Lu Yan and his younger brothers Lu Jing, Lu Xuan, Lu Ji and Lu Yun divided Lu Kang's troops among them. Records, Wu 13 §58 · 83–84 · 88

Chen Shou's main text does not record his courtesy name, his offices, his dates of birth and death, or what he did afterwards. In his assessment in the biography of Lu Xun, Chen Shou assessed Lu Xun and Lu Kang but said nothing about Lu Ji. He does not appear in the Romance. Records, Wu 13 §88 · 91

In the Records

Lu Ji's grandfather Lu Xun lost his eldest son Lu Yan (陸延) early, so his second son Lu Kang succeeded to the title. In the spring of the 2nd year of Fenghuang (273) Lu Kang became Grand Marshal and Governor of Jing Province, and in the summer of the 3rd year (274) he fell ill and submitted a memorial urging that the western frontier be defended, then died in the autumn of that year. Records, Wu 13 §58 · 83–84 · 87–88

When Lu Kang died, his son Lu Yan (陸晏) succeeded him, and Lu Yan and his younger brothers Lu Jing, Lu Xuan, Lu Ji and Lu Yun divided Lu Kang's troops among them. This is the only passage in Chen Shou's main text in which Lu Ji's name appears, and no office held by him is recorded. Records, Wu 13 §88

Lu Yan became Assistant General and Supervisor of Yidao, and Lu Jing, on taking command of Lu Kang's troops, became Lieutenant General and Area Commander of Zhongxia. In the 4th year of Tianji (280), when the Jin army attacked Wu, the General Who Soars Like a Dragon, Wang Jun, came east down the river. On the renxu day of the 2nd month Lu Yan was killed by a detached force of Wang Jun's, and on the following day, guihai, Lu Jing too was killed. Chen Shou's main text does not record what became of Lu Ji at this time. Records, Wu 13 §88–89
