Lu You was strongly suppressed because of "theoretical joy and recovery" from an early age. Middle-aged officialdom was excluded because he was forced by others. He was also fired three times for being a local official for no reason. All these have not defeated the indomitable patriotic poet. He persisted in resisting Jin's Northern Expedition. But when Lu You came to the end of his life, he let Lu You live very late, which became a stain on his life.
When Lu was 82 years old, 1206, the court prepared to resist the Northern Expedition of the Jin Dynasty, which was called the Northern Expedition in history. At that time, Han Yuzhou was the main faction of the imperial government. Han Yuzhou is ruled by his relatives. Therefore, Han Yuzhou urgently needs to consolidate his position after the government came to power, arguing that the best way for Han Yuzhou to make meritorious deeds and consolidate his political power is to resist the northern expedition of the Jin Dynasty. At this time, Lu You was idle at home. Although Lu You did not forget to care about the country and the people, even the imperial court forgot him. When Lu You knew that the imperial court was preparing for the Northern Expedition, Lu You was at the forefront of political struggle. This year, he wrote a poem "Journey to an Old Horse", comparing himself to an old horse. Although he didn't eat well when he was old, he was ill, but that's how Ma Lao heard that "Wang Shi, inspired by drums, became the Zhao Yan of the country, the country and the people". He showed his firm determination in the Northern Expedition and the spirit of a dying old man.
Why did Lu You support Han Yu's Northern Expedition? Among them, the birth of Han Yuzhou gave him confidence that Han Yuzhou was a descendant of Han Qi, a famous anti-gold general in the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, there was a folk song saying that there was a Han nationality in the army. Western thieves are chilling. After these generals, Lu You certainly hoped that he could inherit his own legacy and carry the banner of resisting the Northern Expedition. The second is the reason for land travel. At that time, Lu You was 82 years old. He felt that time was running out, so he hoped to see the reunification of Wang Shibei in his lifetime.
At that time, it seemed that only Han Yu could complete the appointment. Lu You made it clear that he supported Han Yu's Northern Expedition. He expressed grief and regret that he could not witness the restoration of the land with his own eyes.
