Lu Yin 陸胤

Lu Yin, courtesy name Jingzong, was the younger brother of Lu Kai. He first became Censor and Gentleman of the Selection Bureau of the Masters of Writing, and the Crown Prince Sun He, hearing of his reputation, treated him with special courtesy. Records, Wu 16 §50

It happened that Quan Ji, Yang Zhu and others fawned on and attached themselves to Sun Ba, Prince of Lu, contending with Sun He and secretly slandering and accusing one another, and Lu Yin, caught up in this, was arrested and imprisoned. He suffered every kind of cruel torture but never said anything else to the end. Later he became Commandant Supervising the Army at Hengyang. Records, Wu 16 §50

In the 11th year of Chiwu (248), non-Han rebels of Jiaozhi and Jiuzhen attacked and took cities, and the region of Jiao Province was thrown into turmoil. Lu Yin became Inspector of Jiao Province and Colonel Who Pacifies the South and entered the southern border, exhorting the people with kindness and good faith and striving to win them over and receive them. More than three thousand households of the following of Huang Wu, a chieftain of Gaoliang, and others all came out and surrendered. Records, Wu 16 §50–51

Lu Yin led his army south, again and again showing his utmost sincerity and sending gifts of goods and silk. Even the more than one hundred rebel chieftains and over fifty thousand households of commoners who had hidden deep and been bound by no authority all bowed their heads to the ground, and the Jiao region became pure and peaceful. He was then and there given the additional title of General Who Pacifies the South. He further attacked and defeated the rebels of Jianling County in Cangwu Commandery, and in all supplied more than eight thousand soldiers for military use. Records, Wu 16 §51

In the 1st year of Yong'an (258) he was summoned to become Area Commander of Xiling and was enfeoffed as Marquis of a Chief Village, and was later transferred to Zuo Hulin. Records, Wu 16 §52

The Assistant of the Palace Secretariat Hua He submitted a memorial recommending Lu Yin. Hua He said that Lu Yin was by nature intelligent, thorough in talent and pure in conduct; that the traces he left when serving in the Selection Bureau were worthy of record; and that while he was in Jiao Province, displaced people returned to settle and the corners of the sea became pure. He also said that Cangwu and Nanhai had suffered every year from fierce winds and miasma, but that after Lu Yin reached the province the winds and vapors ceased, the people were free of epidemics and the crops ripened well; that when brine flowed into the provincial seat by the sea every autumn, Lu Yin stored water so that the people could drink fresh water; and that when he received the edict and was to depart, the people followed him gladly, carrying the old on their backs and leading the young by the hand. Records, Wu 16 §52–53

Hua He also said that when other generals gathered followers they all intimidated them with force, but none had bound them with kindness and good faith as Lu Yin had, and that although he had spent over ten years in a land that produced treasures, he had no powdered, jewel-adorned concubines in his household and no treasures such as patterned tortoiseshell, rhinoceros horn or ivory in his house. He then asked that, since a post on the river was too light for him to use his talents fully, he be summoned to the capital and favored with high office. Records, Wu 16 §54

When Lu Yin died, his son Lu Shi succeeded him. Lu Shi became Area Commander of Chaisang and General Who Displays Martial Might; in the 1st year of Tiance (275) he was moved to Jian'an together with his cousin Lu Yi, and in the 2nd year of Tianji (278) he was summoned back to Jianye and regained his rank of general and marquis. The Records does not record the year Lu Yin died. Records, Wu 16 §55

In his assessment at the end of the volume, Chen Shou said that Pan Jun and Lu Kai were both firm in integrity and spirit and had the bearing and achievements of true men, and then said that Lu Yin was clean in conduct and accomplished in affairs and made his name in the southern lands, so that he could be called a good governor.
