Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

[The evaluation we are most familiar with, having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, originated from a magical war.

There is an interesting story recorded in Sou Shen Ji. It is said that there is a sunken ship in Ruxukou. When the river ebbs, the ship will emerge from the water. As for its origin, some local elders say it is Cao Gong's ship.

A fisherman tied his boat to this sunken ship at night and slept in the boat. As a result, he heard the sound of orchestral music in his ears and smelled the fragrance of powder in his nose while he was half asleep.

And in the dream, someone was pushing the fisherman and warning loudly, Don't approach official prostitutes.

The next day the fisherman went back to ask for advice, and the old man said, This boat has been here for a hundred years. It was originally used by Duke Cao to carry official prostitutes.

How did Cao Cao's ship sink here? This is about the Battle of Ruxukou between Cao Cao and Sun Quan.

Going south along the waterway from Hefei, a famous cultural city in Jiangdong, is Chaohu Lake. The water of Chaohu Lake flows southward through Ruxushui and merges into the Yangtze River. The place where Chaohu Lake enters Ruxushui is called Ruxukou.

In order to train water masters here, Cao Cao first went to great lengths to dig the Xuanwu Pond and simulate a water battle on the lake.

The navy recruits then went to Guoshui in Qiao County, where they simulated fighting on an inland river.

Afterwards, this navy entered the Huaihe River along the Guishui River, then transferred to Shouchun, and stationed troops in Hefei along the Shishui River.

Sun Quan did not dare to be careless. After feeling the pressure, he moved the capital to Nanjing again, built a city and a pass at Ruxu Mountain, and built Ruxu Wu at Ruxukou to prepare for the attack.

Regarding the process and results of the Battle of Ruxukou, the records of both Wei and Wu are not complicated.

Cao Cao records: He sent troops in the winter of October 212, arrived at Ruxukou at the beginning of 213, defeated Sun Quan's western camp, captured the governor Gongsun Yang, then withdrew his troops in March, and arrived at Yecheng in April.

Sun Quan's side was simpler: Cao Cao attacked Ruxukou, but Quan resisted for more than a month. Cao Cao looked at Sun Quan's army, admired its neat appearance, and then withdrew.

The Battle of Ruxukou ended so simply, but the focus of efforts outside of the war had just begun. 】

Then my uncle swelled up and became one hundred thousand brothers two years later?

Zhang Fei reasonably speculated on the development.

If we speculate from the historical records... Zhao Yun thought for a moment and said:

Cao Cao's army should have made some gains, but considering the situation of the battle, it should be impossible to defeat them.

Sun Quan's army may have suffered little loss, but it certainly won't gain anything.

Pang Tong thought it was too reasonable:

The water surface of Chao Lake narrows at Ruxukou, and Cao's army cannot suppress it in numbers. The Jiangdong naval force is elite, and it only needs to strictly control the river channel, and Cao's army will be unable to survive.

Then he became suspicious:

So it seems that the battle at Ruxukou is nothing special. What can you say?

Couldn't it be better for Cao Cao to say that my son is Sun Quan when he retreats?

Kong Ming shook his fan a little faster, and he had a different opinion from Pang Tong:

The fall of Cao Wei was caused by internal disaster.

Although Sun Zhongmou is slightly inferior in martial arts, he is able to unite Jiangdong Tigers and dominate Jianghuai at a young age. In terms of skill alone, he is not inferior to Cao Pi and Cao Rui.

Fazheng, Zhang Song and Liu Ba were confused after hearing the discussion between the four people.

Why does Sun Quan have the nickname of Hundred Thousand Brother? Zhang Song was puzzled.

Maybe it's because Jiangdong is rich in 100,000 elite soldiers.

Fazheng thinks this is the only possibility, right?

Zhang Fei chuckled: Xiao Zhi guessed half of it right.

Fazheng's head is full of questions.

[The two sides were in a stalemate for three months in the Battle of Ruxukou. In the end, although Cao Cao broke a camp and captured a governor, his initial goal of crushing Jiangdong was not achieved.

So for Jiangdong, this was certainly a victory, worthy of a special mention, so this war summarized in a few sentences spawned two records.

One of them is Gan Ning's Hundred Riders Robbery Camp in the novel.

Wu Li records that at that time, Cao Cao claimed that his army of 400,000 was unparalleled, so Sun Quan secretly ordered Gan Ning to attack Cao's camp at night. Gan Ning, an expert in art, was brave and led more than a hundred warriors. At night, he quietly removed Cao's army's antlers and touched them. After dozens of beheadings, Cao's camp was in chaos, so Gan Ning retreated and was rewarded by Sun Quan.

It also recorded Sun Quan's admiration: Cao Cao has Zhang Liao, and I have Gan Ning, what are I afraid of what he will do!

The second is today’s protagonist: our good son Sun Zhongmou.

Wu Li also records that after Cao Cao came to attack, Sun Quan repeatedly challenged him. Cao Cao hung up his no-war card and could not hold on, so Sun Quan took a boat to Cao Jun's water village to see the scenery. Cao Cao had a very good eye. He was still in a small boat at night, and he could actually see. When they came out, it was Sun Quan who came out, so he ordered the water stronghold to be on strict guard and stopped firing arrows and crossbows. He just let Sun Quan hang out in front of the water stronghold for half an hour and rowed back and forth for three kilometers before returning. Jiangdong's morale was greatly boosted.

Seeing this scene, Cao Cao sighed and blurted out: Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and Liu Jingsheng's son should be like a pig with dog ears!

Sun Quan Dalala, who returned home with great satisfaction, wrote a letter to Cao Cao saying: Spring comes only when spring comes, and it is advisable for you to leave as soon as possible.

There was a small note next to it. Cao Cao picked it up and looked at it, and saw that it read Unless you die with one step, you will not be alone.

Cao Cao, who had an army of 400,000, told his left and right that Sun Quan would never lie to me, so he went back obediently.

Not to mention the Hundred Riders Robbery Camp, the second one is somewhat unreasonable.

After all, Cao Cao was the attacker, but he couldn't hold on. Could it be that he had started planting wheat in the same place as the prime minister?

Sun Quan was on the defensive but tried his best to invite a fight. Was he afraid that he would not be defeated quickly enough?

The following can only be said to be more fantasy. Sun Quan broke into the camp with only a boat, and Cao Cao strictly ordered not to fire arrows and crossbows for fear that Sun Quan would die.

Sun Quan's treatment was as if he were Lao Cao's illegitimate son, which was puzzling.

So later Wei Lue changed the record of Sun Quan's small boat into a large boat, and changed the arrows and crossbows from not firing to all arrows and crossbows.

The situation became that one side of Sun Quan's ship was hit by arrows and the ship was about to capsize, so Sun Quan ordered the ship to turn around so that the other side was also filled with arrows. Then Ping An sailed the boat back. 】

This General Gan is as brave as General Zhao? Zhang Song marveled.

The Baishui Army is like a myth to the Yizhou people, and Zhao Yun's hundred cavalry charge into the formation and kill the generals, which is a big shock to the Yizhou people.

It may be a forgery. Fazheng was very calm.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun studied it for a while and then affirmed:

After all, Gan Xingba is very courageous in the Baiqi Robbery Camp, and he knows his father as his son, so the Gan family should always be able to do extraordinary things.

Liu Bei agreed with this, and Gan Gui also left a very deep impression on him.

Therefore, if there are only a hundred men, it is indeed possible to take advantage of Cao's army's unpreparedness, move away from the deer horns, and slow down the march.

Zhao Yun concluded:

According to the records, no more than ten were captured. It was just a failure of the night attack and retreat. It's normal.

only……

Shiwan Brother's Gan Xingba can only rob the camp.

Zhang Fei shook his head and sighed: Zhang Wenyuan of Cao Cao really broke through a hundred thousand camp with eight hundred men.

The three people in Yizhou widened their eyes: 800 people broke 100,000?

Are all the generals outside so outrageous and terrifying?

Another record is that Liu Bei shook his head and smiled bitterly:

If Cao Mengde is so naive, why should I be like this?

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun nodded with sadness: Aren't all those in Changbanpo fighting with their lives? It almost folded there.

Pang Tong also joked:

My lord is the enemy of Cao Cao, and Sun Quan is like Cao Cao's son. How can they be the same?

Liu Bei laughed when he heard this, but after he finished laughing, he felt a little sad:

Brother Jingsheng is bringing trouble upon himself.

Pang Tong also sighed:

What Kong Ming said is true. The Cao family brought their own disaster. If his son is like Sun Zhongmou, there will be no disaster for the Sima family.

Zhang Fei curled his lips in disdain:

What's the use of writing so beautifully?

But in Hefei, if you show your promise to be a minister, your betrayal will make you laugh forever.

Oh, by the way. Zhang Fei said curiously:

Brother, do you want to be Sun Polu?

Liu Bei choked for a moment, and finally said quietly:

Adou is still young.

…

The experience of watching the light curtain is quite novel for Hou Junji.

At this time, the judge said: This Gan Xingba is as courageous as anyone else.

Everyone agrees with this sentence. His Majesty's military achievements are really unparalleled. He has won countless battles with less and is extremely brave.

Li Shimin glanced at it lightly and didn't care.

It was just a failed night attack. What's there to boast about if it didn't succeed?

But as for Cao Cao's sigh... Li Shimin didn't quite agree with it:

You can only maintain your career in Jiangdong all your life, and you are not as good as my prince!

Li Shimin remembered clearly that in the century-old prosperous era, even if he had a solid foundation, he would still need his sons and grandsons to take over the relay for eighty years.

From this, we can simply deduce that the son and grandson did well, but it may have been something that went wrong later.

For a moment, Li Shimin was a little happy:

I am an emperor throughout the ages, my son is a wise king, and most of my grandsons are also wise kings.

What Cao Aha, Sun Zhongmou, don't come here to touch porcelain, we, the emperor of the ages, will not look down on you.

Do you want to really lament that having children is like Sun Zhongmou? That will have to wait until the late Tang Dynasty.

These words naturally attracted a lot of compliments, and Li Shimin laughed.

Yan Liben in the back was moving his brush like flying, but felt that one brush was not enough.

If there is a next time, do you have to suggest to His Majesty that you bring some disciples or colleagues over?

[Although Wu Li is suspected of embellishment and beautification of Sun Quan, Boss Cao's sigh is quite reasonable.

After all, he was really blocked by Sun Quan and couldn't make any progress.

Boss Cao is turning 60 this year, and he has clearly felt that time is urging people to grow old.

Opposite him, Sun Quan, who is only 32 years old, is very dazzling. It is logical to want such an heir.

In other words, after Wancheng killed the three sages overnight, the choice of successor has become one of Cao Cao's worries.

During the Battle of Ruxukou, Cao Ang and Cao Chong were dead, and Cao Cao basically had to choose between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Even before the Battle of Ruxukou, Cao Cao ordered Cao Zhi, who was 21 years old at the time, to stay in Yecheng. This was already an apparent inspection of his successor, but Cao Zhi gave him a blank check.

Civil servants at the rear reported that although Cao Zhi was brilliant in literature, he often acted willfully and had a habit of drinking too much, which disappointed Cao Cao.

Where is 26-year-old Cao Pi? With nothing to do, Cao Cao took Cao Pi to practice naval warfare in the Wushi River, but Cao Pi was not interested at all. Instead, he rode a horse on the river and wrote Linwo Ode.

So although Boss Cao’s words are obviously praising Sun Quan, on a deeper level they are also a knock on his heir:

Let me learn from Sun Quan, and don't imitate those prodigal things from Liu Biao's family.

For this reason, Cao Pi was so forgetful when faced with Sun Quan's request to surrender, and several emperors refused to listen lost the opportunity to unify the world.

There is no other way. It is really not something that ordinary people can refuse when someone else's children lower themselves and act like petty temptations in front of you. 】

Inspiration is hard to come by, so the second update will be late.
