According to his origins, Lü Meng was a warrior. He served as one of the commanding generals in many battles, for example in Hefei. It was developed by Sun Quan reminded to also include scholastic literary studies, and so was a capable strategist. He took lessons from the famous Lu Su , who was always impressed by Lü Meng. Later, Lü Meng was Lu Xun's teacher and told him that one day he would be his successor.

Lü Meng took back Jing Province from the Shu Han at the Battle of Fancheng and defeated Guan Yu by pretending to be ill and using the then unknown Lu Xun as commander.
