又魏江夏太守逮式〈逯立录。〉兼領兵馬，頗作邊害。而與北舊將文聘子休宿不協。遜聞其然。即假作答式書云：「得報懇惻，知與休久結嫌隙，勢不兩存，欲來歸附，輒以密呈來書表聞，撰眾相迎。宜潛速嚴，更示定期。」以書置界上，式兵得書以見式，式惶懼，遂自送妻子還洛。由是史士不復親附，遂以免罷。〈臣松以为边将为害，盖其常事，使逯式得罪，代者亦复如之，自非狡焉思肆，将成大患，何足亏损雅虑，尚为小诈哉？以斯为美，又所不取。〉

Lu Shi was the Wei-appointed Administrator of Jiangxia and also commanded troops; he does not appear in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Deeds
Lu Shi also commanded troops, causing trouble along the border. Lu Xun learned that he was on bad terms with Wen Xiu, son of the Wei general Wen Ping. Lu Xun forged a reply to make Lu Shi believe that Lu Xun intended to defect. In fear, Lu Shi sent his wife and children back to Luoyang. He then lost the support of his subordinates and was dismissed. (As recorded in the histories.)
