Chapter 96
[Cao Wei's record of Yiling's results is "killing more than [-] of his soldiers, just to save himself." Considering the consistent moisture problem in historical books, and the fact that Wuxi barbarians sent troops to supplement.

It can be inferred that the Shu Han sent at most [-] troops, and Wuxi Man made a total of about [-] to [-], numbering [-].

The record of Lu Xun's military strength is relatively clear, "Xun is the governor, and the false festival... 5 people refused."

But Sun Wu's military strength cannot be viewed simply in this way. For example, in the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu only led 3 people, and Sun Quan led tens of thousands of people in Chaisang as the second line of defense.

The battle of Yiling was the same. Zhuge Jin led the army to build the second line of defense in the public security, and Sun Quan led the army in Wuchang as the third line of defense. The overall investment is conservatively estimated to be at least 15 people.

Moreover, the battlefield where Yiling is fighting in the canyon, Liu Bei is the attacking side, the troops are scattered, and Lu Xun's defense can concentrate the strength of the troops in one place.

Therefore, on the local battlefield, the strength of the Wu army is superior, and it is hard to say that it is a real battle of winning more with less. 】

Speaking of the battle, several generals are no strangers, so we studied it together.

Guan Yu speculated from the coach's point of view:
"Out of [-], Fang Zilong will lead an army of at least [-]. And part of the [-] soldiers should be given to Huang Quan to go to Jiangbei."

"In this way, there will be at most 4 people in Yiling."

"Jiangdong soldiers can't fight, but there are so many..." Zhang Fei was a little envious.

Now even counting Le Jin's soldiers, there are only 3 soldiers available for battle.

And this uncle is worth more than [-] at every turn. If he can seriously train soldiers, how strong would he be?
Liu Bei stared blankly at the words "Bei only escaped with his own body", but felt blood dripping from his heart.

Even if there are only 4 people according to the second brother, it is still a team that has been saved with great difficulty.

They were supposed to seek thieves for the country, but they were buried here in vain.

[In 221, Liu Bei took Feng Xi as the leader and marched into the western border of Yiling.

Relying on the superiority of troops, the early battle went smoothly. Powu County occupied Zigui, and Shamoke, the leader of the Wuxi Barbarians, sent envoys to respond to the Shu Han.

At the beginning of the next year, Liu Bei marched to Xiaoting. At the same time, Liu Bei, who was over [-] years old, also made a very correct decision:

To open the road to the mountains, Ma Liang was sent to Wuling to contact the Wuxi Man. When he was in Jingzhou, Ma Liang was sent by Liu Bei to Wuling County to teach agriculture, mulberry and water conservancy. He was well received by the local ethnic minorities.

And sure enough, Wuximan joined the army one after another in response to the Shu Han, and the strength of the Shu Han increased by nearly 2. 】

Ma Liang wrote down his name, but unexpectedly, his insignificant work would be known to later generations?

I just don't know that in the eyes of later generations, it is meritorious work to attract Wuxi Man?Or is it meritorious to govern Wuling County?
Pang Tong felt that he had learned another trick: Jiangdong conquered more mountains with a large army.

The generals in Jiangdong also commented that the people in the mountains are brave, but they are cowardly after being captured as Wu soldiers.

From this point of view, it seems that voluntary voting is also a way to let Shanyue feel the merits of governance?
It's just... there are nearly [-] barbarians. I don't know if the lord has enough food and grass?

Kong Ming said in a low voice: "Over [-] years old and still conscripting in person...why do you have to do this, my lord?"

Liu Bei smiled: "Kong Ming died of illness on the way to the Northern Expedition, so why?"

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled for a while.

[Facing the Shu Han who was descending down the river with high morale, Lu Xun thought that he should temporarily avoid the edge.

From Yizhou to Yiling, the overall terrain along the Yangtze River from west to east consists of valleys, canyons, and small plains, and this small plain was tightly locked by Lu Xun with heavy troops.

The exit was locked, and the Shu Han army had no choice but to camp in the canyon for nearly a hundred miles.

Liu Bei was eager to fight, but Lu Xun could not defend himself, despite all kinds of scolding and scolding me, he did not move.

The two sides have been stalemate from the beginning of the year until the hot June, when Liu Bei revealed his first flaw:
Under the unbearable heat, Liu Bei ordered the navy to go ashore and camp in the mountains to escape the summer heat in order to attack again in autumn. 】

"How can this be!" Guan Yu was anxious:
"Abandoning the ship and going ashore, wouldn't that mean giving up the waterway to Lu Xun?"

Liu Bei scratched his head: "If you find that Sun Wu's water army is attacking, just get on board again."

Guan Yu shook his head in pain: "Brother, the boat sails silently, why should the sun attack?"

"Using boats to hide soldiers and marching at night, silencing the soldiers, cutting off the rear, and not being able to take care of the head and tail of the battalion, wouldn't it be self-disruption?"

Liu Bei's face turned pale.

Guan Yu asked for the crime of gaffe: "The defeat of Yiling lies with me. If there is anyone who knows the water army, I will definitely persuade my brother."

"Why does Yun Chang have to blame himself?" Kong Ming got up and pulled Guan Yu up:

"Now that I know it, we will make up for another omission."

Only Liu Bei still blamed himself very much: "Ji Han, it was achieved by you and others, but lost by me."

"My lord, why should you blame yourself so much!" Kong Ming was very angry:
"If there is no lord, Liang is still farming in Nanyang at this time, and Yun Changyide is just a butcher!"

"Cao thief lived in the world, why would future generations talk about a thief who stole the country?"

[Lu Xun saw that the morale of the Shu Han had dropped, and that the Wu army was more adaptable to the hot weather than the Yizhou soldiers, so he knew that the opportunity for victory had come.

After holding on for half a year, Lu Xun organized his first attack. Although the attack failed, Lu Xun lost a sentence quite deeply:

"I already know the art of breaking."

Generally speaking, it is considered that the "skill" here is to burn the company.

But in fact, the three parties of Wei, Shu and Wu did not have too many descriptions about the fire attack in the battle of Yiling, because the fire attack often needs to borrow the wind.

For example, the classic description of Chibi Huogong is "the wind is fierce...the sky is full of smoke, and many people and horses burn and drown to death."

There is no record of strong winds in Yiling, and the method of defeating the enemy with fire is also mentioned in the history books:
"Each one holds a handful of thatch, and uses fire to attack and pull it out. Once the momentum is established, all the armies will attack."

Basically, let everyone bring a flammable object, light it and throw it into the Shuhan army camp, it's as simple as that. 】

"Riding horses and burning camps is the method of rebelling the army."

Guan Yu is very clear about this, and at the moment he is a little appreciative of this opponent:
"Facing the army in a hurry, you know how to defend to the death, and when the enemy is tired, you can choose the opportunity to come out."

"Be aware of the enemy's situation before attacking, and find clever ways when attacking. Everything you do is appropriate."

Jian Yong also laughed and said:

"During the Red Cliff, Zhou Gongjin's strategy made wind and fire come together. If there was no strong wind, Cao's bandit would hardly have been defeated."

Kong Ming also nodded in agreement: "The fire takes advantage of the wind, so Cao thief can't take care of himself just now. If there is no strong wind, Cao thief retreats calmly, so why would he be discouraged in the first battle?"

"As for Yiling, why is there a strong wind in Jingzhou in midsummer? As Yun Chang said, setting fire to the camp is nothing more than a way to disturb the morale of the army."

"The company battalion must have been cut off by Sun Wu's navy."

Everyone couldn't help but nodded. It has been more than two years since they came to Jingzhou. In summer, the weather is extremely hot and there is no breeze.

[Lu Xun never mentioned Huo Gong in his letter to Sun Quan, so it can be seen that Huo Gong has never been the protagonist of Yiling.

Instead, Lu Xun's letter to Sun Quan before the attack pointed out the most critical winner of this battle:

At the beginning, the minister was suspicious, advancing by land and water, but now instead of leaving the boat, he is setting up camps everywhere, and observing the layout, there will be no other changes.

The victory and defeat of Shu Han and Sun Wu, the life and death of [-] soldiers, are the key to the three prosperity of Yan Han.

It is all tied to those four words: water and land advance. 】

 Liu Bei was actually reliable in Yiling, but he lacked strategists, neither Pang Tong nor Fa Zheng, it hurts too much
