Introduction to the Battle of Yiling The Battle of Yiling ended.

At this stop, I will tell you about the Yiling war between Soochow and Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period, which was caused by the battle for the military fortress Jingzhou. After Battle of Red Cliffs, the contradiction between Wu Dong and Shu Han intensified, which eventually led to this war. In this battle, Sun Quan won the final victory. After Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Sun Quan carved up Jingzhou, which is a military stronghold governing eight counties in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Cao Cao occupied Nanyang and northern Jiangxia, while Sun Quan occupied Nanjun and southern Jiangxia. Changsha, Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang were captured by Liu Bei. In AD 2 10, Sun Quan lent Liu Bei his military position on the north bank of the Yangtze River for strategic reasons. In this way, Liu Bei actually basically got the Jingzhou area. Soon, Liu Bei occupied Yizhou and Hanzhong successively, forming a famous situation in which Wei, Wu and Shu stood in balance. After the Shu Han captured Hanzhong and Jingzhou, they occupied favorable terrain for advancing, attacking and retreating. In 2 1 1 year, after Sun Quan occupied Jiaozhou, his power was further expanded. Cao only cares about stabilizing the rear and doesn't look south. Sun Quan took the opportunity to return Jingzhou to Liu Beisuo, but Liu Bei refused to return it. Relations between the two countries are deteriorating. In 2 19 AD, Guan Yu, a general of Shu Han who was stationed in Jingzhou, led his troops to capture Xiangyang and Fancheng. Sun Quan took advantage of the emptiness behind Guan Yu and sent troops to attack his rear. Guan Yu rushed to help the soldiers and was killed after the failure. Sun Quan captured the whole Jingzhou. In 22 1 year, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, and his country names were Han and Zhangwu. Later, despite the dissuasion of Zhuge Liang and others, Liu Bei attacked Wu on a large scale, trying to avenge Guan Yu and recapture Jingzhou. In July of the same year, Liu Bei personally led 10 more than ten thousand Shu-Han troops and launched a large-scale war against Dongwu. Liu Bei's generals Wu Ban and Feng led more than 40,000 people as pioneers to capture the canyon, and defeated Wu Jun's generals Li Yi and Liu Abe to capture Zigui during the reign of Emperor Wu. Liu Bei sent a general Huang Quan to the north bank of the Yangtze River and a general to Wuling to win the support of the local tribal leader Sha. Facing the pressure of the Shu-Han army, Sun Quan took Lu Xun as the viceroy, commanded Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Han Dang, Xu Sheng, Sun Huan and other departments, and led 50,000 people to the front to meet the Shu-Han army. At the same time, Wu Dong avoided being attacked between Scylla and Charybdis and made up with Cao Wei. Lu Xun correctly analyzed the form, avoided the momentum of the Shu and Han armies, and resolutely retreated to the post roads and pavilions. Then turn there to defend, occupy favorable terrain, and concentrate on waiting for a decisive battle. In 222 AD, Shu Han generals Wu Ban and Chen Shi led the water army into Yiling area and stationed troops on both sides of the Yangtze River. Liu Bei personally led the main force to camp in _ Pavilion. At this time, the Shu-Han army had penetrated into the territory of Wu, and Wu Jun could not hold his ground. The Shu and Han armies had no choice but to camp in Wuxia, Jianping and Yiling. In order to force Lu Xun to fight, Liu Bei sent people to besiege Yi Dao. Lu Xun pushed his way through the crowd and persisted. After half a year of military confrontation, Liu Bei repeatedly sent people to challenge the captain to make a quick decision, but Lu Xun ignored it. The soldiers of the Shu army gradually lost their fighting spirit. The weather was hot, so Liu Bei had no choice but to move the barracks to the deep mountains and rest in the stream. The Shu-Han army went deep behind enemy lines, and its logistical support was difficult. Besides, Liu Bei camped and dispersed his forces, which gave Lu an opportunity. Seeing that the morale of the Shu army was low, Lu Xun sent some small troops to make a tentative attack. Although the attack was ineffective, it reminded Lu Xun of a way to attack the enemy with fire. Lu Xun's soldiers were ordered to carry thatch, raid at night and light it with the wind. The weather was hot and the fire was fierce, and the Shu army was in chaos. Lu Xun took the opportunity to fight back and forced the Shu army to withdraw westward. Zhu Ran, the general of the State of Wu, led 5,000 soldiers to defeat the vanguard of the Shu army and cut off the retreat of the Shu army. Pan Zhang's troops stormed the Shu-Han army led by Feng Xisuo and defeated it. Zhu Gejin, Luo Tong and Zhou Yin cooperated with the main counterattack _ Pavilion. Sun Huan Province

Liu Bei fled into Yong 'an City overnight and died of illness. In the battle of Yiling, why did Lu Xun defeat the 100,000 troops led by Liu Bei with 50,000 troops? In the battle of Yiling, Lu Xun correctly analyzed the form, decisively retreated to lure the enemy back to defense, concentrated his forces and attacked by fire, and finally defeated 100,000 Shu troops with 50,000 soldiers. This war embodies Lu Xun's outstanding military talent and superb command ability. And Liu Bei's failure is no accident. He sent his troops in a rage, self-sustaining and aggressive. When commanding the battle, he drove the troops into the rugged mountain road without surveying the terrain. At the same time, when the enemy counterattacked, he did not even adjust the combat deployment, which led to the failure of the war. What about entrusting orphans in Bai Di? Liu Bei was defeated and fled to Baidicheng. Zhuge Liang asked Liu to stay in Chengdu and took Liu Bei's other two sons, Liu Yong and Liu Li, to Baidicheng. At this time, Liu Bei was very ill. He entrusted the prince to Zhuge Liang and told him that if the prince had no talent, he could take his place. Zhuge Liang promised Liu Bei that he would help the prince to the death. Liu Bei also told Zhuge Liang not to reuse Ma Su. He entrusted Zhuge Liang with great affairs at the age of 63.
