History:
Lü was born in Fupo, Runan Commandery (southeast of present-day Funan County, Anhui) in 178. His family migrated south of the Yangtze River when Lü was young, and he lived with his brother-in-law Deng Dang (鄧當), who served under Sun Ce. When Lü was 15 or 16, he would often follow Deng in his expeditions against the Shanyue secretly against Deng's wishes. When Deng told Lü's mother about this, she was furious, but Lü said: "It is difficult to survive in poverty; if we can prove ourselves through hard work, then wealth would come eventually. How can we get the tiger's cub if we don't enter the tiger's den?" Lü's mother was so touched at his words that she forgave him and did not punish him.
At the time, an official despised Lü for his age, and often insulted him with words like: "What can he do? His behaviour would only feed himself to the tigers." Eventually, Lü could not control his anger and he killed the official. Lü then turned himself in to Yuan Xiong (袁雄), who pleaded with Sun Ce to spare his life. Sun granted Lü an audience with him, and he was very impressed with Lü, so he acquitted Lü of his crimes and appointed him as a general.
A few years later, Deng Dang died, and Zhang Zhao recommended Lü to take his place. When Sun Quan succeeded Sun Ce, he planned to merge smaller troops into larger garrisons. When Lü heard of this, he collected funds to decorate his troops with brilliant armour. When Sun Quan came to review his troops, he was very impressed by Lü's troops and added more soldiers under Lü's command, thus saving Lü's men from being merged into another general's command.
