Chapter 98
"Both Xiu Yuan and Wen Jin died due to Bei's negligence."

It's all here, and Liu Bei also understands where he is wrong.

At this time, I also thought of the high-spirited look of these two people when they came together to vote, and felt even more sad.

"The two monarchs treated me as a gentleman of the country, but I failed to repay it with a soldier of the country."

"Ma'anshan seems to be defeated." Guan Yu analyzed: "This Lu Xun set fire to the camp. After the surprise soldiers are gone, there are at least [-] soldiers in the headquarters."

"Brother's headquarters are trapped in the company..."

"Second brother, let's see." Zhang Fei tugged on the second brother's sleeve.

Ma Liang wrote Sha Moke's name in a complicated mood. The barbarian king died here?

["Preparing to ascend Ma'anshan, Chen Bing walks around by himself"

Ma'anshan is a special place. It is located in the west of the Yiling battlefield. There is a small road going north to Zigui, which was the closest retreat to Liu Bei on the battlefield at that time.

At the same time, Ma Liang, the unlucky guy, was probably also here, because Ma'anshan was the garrison point of the Wuxi Man.

So far, Shu Han and Sun Wucai had a real head-to-head confrontation in the battle of Yiling.

But what is helpless is that although Liu Bei has the advantage of the terrain, he only has at least [-] remnants around him, and the bulk of his troops are in the more than forty battalions that were defeated by Lu Xun.

Although Lu Xun was attacking fortified positions, his [-] troops were unscathed and eager to fight. After all, it is best to fight with the wind.

And everyone knows that standing on the top of the mountain is the leader of the Shu Han Dynasty, so there is no need to capture him alive, as long as he is beheaded, he can be named as a marquis and prime minister in history!As a result, the soldiers are more brave and fearless.

Given the huge gap in troop strength and morale, the Shu Han army had only one choice left:

After the death battle of Fu Fu and Cheng Ji, he won a glimmer of life for Liu Bei. Although Yiling was defeated, Liu Bei could not die here!

In the end, Liu Bei fled back to Baidi City alone, and all the veterans he had accumulated for ten years since Chibi were wiped out. 】

It is tragic!

I remembered that I had just invited Fu Xun to a banquet a few days ago. Such a big man cried bitterly for the Han when he was drunk, and later his son died for the Han.

Liu Bei's knuckles turned white.

As for the annihilation of the entire army, he, an old soldier, of course understands what it means.

The combat power of an army depends not only on the soldiers, but also on the military marquis, Sima Bairen, the long-toothed goalkeeper, etc.

The lost soldiers can be recruited again, but where can those generals who have fought in Jingzhou, Hanzhong and Yizhou go?
Even if there is money and food to attract a large number of soldiers, at best they are just a group of Wu soldiers who are about to collapse in battle.

"Wu Bing defended himself quite arbitrarily." Wei Yan boldly said: "When I was in my hometown, I had dealings with Wu Bing."

"Jiangdong's imperial soldiers only drive them with prestige. There is no profit and no achievement. Wu soldiers will not fight to death."

"Looking at Ma'anshan, there is great profit first, and fighting in Jingzhou is the second. In this battle, to protect the village, dare you die?"

"Wen Chang is right." Guan Yu agreed: "Third Brother, although Wu Bing is weak, he should not be underestimated."

Zhang Fei responded cautiously.

Guan Yufu glanced at Wei Yan again, Guangmu didn't say much about his general, he only talked about Wei Yan's rebellion, and later generations commented that he was the right arm of the military adviser.

Guan Yu objected to his elder brother asking him to come here at first, but his elder brother thought that he could be a right-hand man of a military division, at least he was talented.

Moreover, after 20 years of chaos, his mind is still uncertain, so if he treats him with great kindness, there may not be future disasters.

[Such a battle caused the Shu Han to be completely devastated. Looking back now, there is a mistake first:

The battle of Yiling started in July of 221. After sending out troops, Wu County and Zigui were defeated.

Then... he didn't leave, and stayed there until the beginning of 222 before moving out again.

Sun Wu, who was originally passive and rushed to the battle, was able to deploy his troops.

Lu Xun completed the analysis of the battle and the tactical layout, and locked the Shu Han army, which had been late for half a year, in the Yiling Gorge Road.

So where did Liu Bei go during these spare months?Can't it be like Song Xianggong playing the role of a teacher of benevolence and righteousness?
In addition to Liu Bei's biography, there is a sentence: "In the second year of Zhangwu, after the posthumous wife Huangsi, she was buried in Shu. Before arriving, the former master died."

In the second year of Zhangwu (222), Liu Bei was locked up in Yiling for the first half of the year and could not move, and in the second half of the year, Yiling was defeated and it was difficult to leave Jingzhou.

Therefore, there are speculations that the missing months may be used to relocate Mrs. Gan's grave, because Mrs. Gan was buried here after she died of illness in Nanjun.

Due to the lack of more detailed historical data, this statement can only be regarded as speculation.

But apart from this possibility, it is difficult to explain why there was such a big tactical flaw in the early stage of the Battle of Yiling. 】

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"It's just a guess, don't take it for granted."

"Perhaps it was during Zigui that the army fell ill and could not go."

Zhang Fei shook his head:

"Brother, I wouldn't believe it if I were someone else, but..."

Several other people also nodded quietly, the Lord's love for Mrs. Gan can be seen.

Moreover, Mrs. Gan also kept the lord's backyard in good order, which also relieved their ministers a lot of worry.

Liu Bei tried his best to smile and said:

"Dr. Zhang has diagnosed it a month ago. The pathogenic wind has entered the body. He prescribed a few decoctions to take on time. Now it is much better."

That's good...these people are temporarily relieved.

Kong Ming and Pang Tong looked at each other with some worries.

Light Curtain's guess is a bit bizarre, but the lord has always accepted advice with an open mind, but Yiling is the only one who insists on going his own way, which is also bizarre.

There must be a reason for something abnormal. What is the lord planning?
Pang Tong felt dazed, shook his head, wrote a few words, and handed it to Kong Ming.

[Another tactical mistake was the stalemate with Lu Xun in Yiling for half a year.

In the words that are often said now: I am waiting for the big move, what are you waiting for?
Lu Xun was under the pressure of a bunch of arrogant soldiers under his command, and he had to write a letter of comfort to Sun Quan every two months.

It is to wait for the morale of the Shu Han to decline and the weather to change, hoping to wait for Liu Bei's mistakes.

Fortunately, in the end Lu Xun waited, Liu Bei handed over the power to control Jiang, and Lu Xun hit the target with one hit.

The two armies often compete in a stalemate over who makes a mistake first. If Liu Bei hadn't made this mistake, Lu Xun might not be able to withstand the pressure of his veteran general and was forced to send troops later, and the battle of Yiling might have a chance of winning.

But we also all know that there are often no ifs in history. If there were really ifs, the second master of the Battle of Xiangfan would have gone north and killed Cao Cao. 】

Liu Bei couldn't help but ask:

"Second brother, in this situation in Xiangfan, if Marquis Sun returns to Hefei to respond, will he be able to come to Xudu?"

Guan Yu shook his head and shattered Liu Bei's fantasy:

"If Marquis Sun had such a heart, there would be no Xiangshui alliance. My brother should have captured Hanzhong and left Guanzhong. Why are you going around here?"

"But these are all empty words, it's useless to talk about it, and it's useless to talk about it."

"It can be seen from the words of the light curtain that even with the merits of Jingzhou, this Lu Xun is still unconvinced." Jiang Wan also felt that this Lu Xun was extremely dangerous:
"Support the lord at the top, caress the mighty general at the bottom, the victory or defeat with the lord is only five or five."

Liu Bei also agreed, but at the same time his heart ached even more: Where is this Lu Xun?

Jian Yong's secret note on investigating Lu's family is still in his sleeve, but it's a pity that there is no word "poor" on this thin page.

[Throughout the battle of Yiling, this battle is also known as Liu Bei's battle of destiny.

At this time, although Cao Wei was strong, not many were strong; Sun Wu swallowed the surrendered troops of Jingzhou and Guan Yu Yujin, and his strength increased greatly.

Sun Wu's attention and eyes were dragged to Yiling, and Liu Bei sent troops to the south of the river, so he meant to use his body as bait to lure Cao Wei to end.

But it's a pity that the immature Cao Pi was severely played by the scheming Sun Quan once. 】

Kong Ming also opened the note written by Pang Tong in his hand: Pi Xun's father.

 The battle of Yiling ended quickly, but the lingering sound was long.
