Historical Information

Liu Lue served Wu in its later years for his whole career. Lue's big recorded history took place shortly after Sun Quan passed away. Sima Shi of Wei sent the army to invade Wu, hoping to catch them at a moment of weakness. Zhuge Ke, Wu's prime minister, led the army to defend. Liu Lue served alongside Quan Duan in main army. Lue was ordered to lead his troop to set up an ambush on the eastern side of Dongxing while Quan Duan set up an ambush at western side. The armies of Hu Zun and Zhuge Dan had already attacking the city but their unfamiliarity with the local terrain allowed Lue and Duan to successfully take the Wei forces by surprise. In addition, Zhuge Ke, Lu Ju, Tang Zi, and Ding Feng caught the enemy between them and the ambush forces.

Liu Lue's father, Liu Zan, died in 255. In the same year Wu began strengthening their position at the Xuzhou border. Lue was one of the officers sent to bolster their defenses, taking the post a guardian of Xuzhou border and governor of Donghai.

The book "The legend of Sun Hao" records that when Guo Ma, governor of Nanhai, rebelled, Liu Lue led the army to suppress said rebellion, but was killed in the battle. But this record isn't the clearest.

The book "The legend of Sun Jun" records that Liu Lue was an officer of Wu along with his younger brother, Liu Ping. It doesn't offer much else on his final years.
