History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

Cao Cao: These three brothers are dissatisfied with me every day. They scold me when they meet me. It’s okay this time. They’re going to be blown away. The king of the Kingdom of Wu wants to marry your daughter as his daughter-in-law, but you’re still not happy. , so arrogant.

Sima Yi: I heard that Guan Yu was also very dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang.

Liu Xiu: This is really conceited. To put it bluntly, if a king and his ministers come to ask for marriage, Guan Yu is a high-ranking person. Even if he disagrees, he cannot insult him. A general is reckless and has no IQ at all!

Zhuge Liang: Guan Yu is still capable, but he is really too conceited this time.

Zhou Yu: You are such a good old man.

Sima Yi: After Lu Bu's death, Guan Yu believed that he was invincible and treated everyone he saw like a traitor.

"The next thing it became clear was that Sun Quan took advantage of Guan Yu to launch the Battle of Xiangfan and launched a sneak attack on Jingzhou."

"Guan Yu sent troops from Jingzhou Nanjun to attack Cao Wei's Xiangyang and Fancheng. It was known as the "Battle of Xiangfan" in history. In this battle, Guan Yu flooded seven armies and shocked China. Boss Cao was beaten so much that he wanted to move the capital. On the day of the battle, Cao Jun When the army was retreating, the rats from Jiangdong took advantage of the situation and attacked Jingzhou. Guan Yu was defeated in Maicheng and was eventually captured and killed by the Wu army. A generation of martial saints ended up with their bodies separated."

"As a result, Liu Bei not only lost Jingzhou, but Guan Yu, the second most important person in the Shu Han Dynasty, also lost his head.

So, Liu Bei, in a rage, launched the Battle of Yiling. "

"Liu Bei personally led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to launch a large-scale war against Soochow. Facing the aggressive Liu Bei, Sun Quan sent an envoy to ask for peace, but Liu Bei refused."

"Liu Bei was immediately furious at this time. How could he agree to the request for peace? You have already killed my brother and you are still asking for peace? And because of this, he fell into Sun Quan's scheme and the Shu Han Dynasty directly declined."

"After knowing that he could not sue for peace, Sun Quan surrendered to Cao Wei and ordered Lu Xun to lead direct troops to fight against Liu Bei."

"Liu Bei was so angry that he was eager to win, and his troops were at full strength. After analysis, Lu Xun believed that the Wu army should temporarily avoid the front. There is a saying that "the right time, the right place, and the right people". Liu Bei, in his rage, completely forgot to look at the surrounding terrain. I just felt that if there were too many people, nothing would happen, so the opponent was beaten miserably."

"So, Lu Xun led the Wu army to retreat again and again, all the way to the line of Yidao and Xiaoting. In this way, the Wu army withdrew from the high mountains and ridges, leaving Liu Bei with hundreds of miles of mountainous terrain where it was difficult to deploy his troops."

"Because the Shu army is located on a rugged mountain road [-] to [-] kilometers away from the Wu border, far away from the rear, there are many difficulties in logistical support. In addition, Liu Bei's hundred-mile company camp has scattered troops, which provides Lu Xun with an opportunity to carry out a strategic counterattack. machine."

"The two sides were in a stalemate until June of 222. Because Lu Xun persisted in not fighting, the Shu army, which was pleading for a quick victory, gradually became disorganized."

"Lu Xun believed that the time had come and began to launch a counterattack, and thought of the method of attacking the Shu army camp with fire."

"A raging fire ignited the Shu Han military camp. The fire at Yiling resulted in Liu Bei's disastrous defeat. Shu generals Zhang Nan and Feng Xi and the indigenous tribe leader Samoko were killed. Du Lu, Liu Ning and others surrendered."

"Liu Bei saw that the situation was over, so he fled to Ma'anshan in the northwest of Yiling. The two poles were reversed. Lu Xun ordered his troops to besiege on all sides. The Shu army was defeated. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were killed. Most of them fled with casualties and all military supplies were lost." Liu Bei took advantage of the darkness to break out of the encirclement. Fu Shu, the general of the Shu army, led his troops to cut off Liu Bei's rear. Fu Shu was outnumbered and died in the final battle."

"On his way to escape, Liu Bei was almost captured by Sun Huan. He finally crossed the mountain and escaped into Yong'an City. At that time, the general of Zhenbei, Huang Quan, was cut off by the Wu army after Liu Bei's defeat. As a last resort, Huang Quan shamefully After surrendering to Soochow, he defected to Cao Wei."

"At the same time, Ma Liang, the most outstanding of the five members of the Ma family, was also intercepted and killed by Wu Jiang."

"I know some people don't know the characters I'm talking about. These people are like outstanding generals from various dynasties. I also want to express to the world the tragedy of the Yiling Battle at that time."

"At that time, the Shu Han had at least 20 outstanding generals participating in the war, and seven of them died fighting, such as Fu Wei, Shamoke, Feng Xi, Zhang Nan and others. In addition, five generals surrendered to the enemy. Among them, Huang Quan, Shi He, and Pang Lin joined the Cao Wei camp, while Du Lu and Liu Ning surrendered to Soochow, and there was no trace of one general, Chen Shi, whose life or death is unknown."

"Leave aside the tens of thousands of soldiers, this list alone is enough to cause the Shu Han to suffer heavy losses. Moreover, Liu Bei died after this battle, which was also a fatal blow to the Shu Han regime established in Liu Bei's name."

"For a time, Shu was troubled by internal and external troubles, and the Shu Han regime was on the verge of collapse."

"Then, Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, but the military and political power of the country was basically in the hands of Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang had good intentions. He hoped that the Northern Expedition would succeed in his lifetime, revive the Han Dynasty, unify the Central Plains, and end the war!"

"Thanks to Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu. Even so, Zhuge Liang also spent several years and efforts to stabilize the situation and improve the country's strength to the point where it can send troops abroad!"

"Liu Bei died of illness in 223. Baidi City was left alone and passed on to Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang's Shu Han. It was a devastated place."

"In terms of territory, only Yizhou is left in the Shu Han Dynasty. The land is small and there are few people. The land of the three Shu, Wu and Wei families is almost 7:2:1. Not only is the Shu Han at the bottom, it is simply terrible. The troops led by Liu Bei into Sichuan were destroyed by Lu Xun. The emperor is young and troubles in the court are inevitable."

"But all hope rests on Zhuge Liang."

"If you want to keep the Shu Han, you must solve at least one problem. Liu Chan's internal problems just after he ascended the throne are not so easy to solve."

"Zhuge Liang knew the importance of the Sun-Wu alliance, which was the foundation of the Shu Han. Therefore, although Soochow Wu first betrayed the alliance and conspired to seize Jingzhou, the Cao Wei regime in the north was eyeing it and was always the biggest threat to the Shu Han. Therefore, Zhuge Liang endured the humiliation and bore the heavy burden. , against all opinions, sent important ministers to Soochow, Sun Quan was also happy to see the success, so the two sides reestablished the Sun-Liu Alliance."

"The foreign aggression has been stabilized, but Zhuge Liang also knows that this is not a long-term alliance. During this period, he must restore Shu's military strength."

"But the Battle of Yiling, which Liu Bei mobilized the whole country to fight, was a great competition of national strength. After the failure, Shu's talents and elite army were almost completely lost. After Zhuge Liang took over the power, he had no troops to call upon."

"So Zhuge Liang used various policies and means to encourage the people to actively serve as soldiers. He spent more than two years training soldiers and recharging their strength. Finally, he regained Nanzhong, crossed the Lu River, captured Meng Huo seven times, and the southern barbarians returned to their homeland and successfully stabilized the country. The rear area of ​​Shu Kingdom."
