How much did Shu Han lose in the battle of Yiling? Is it really "700,000 troops wiped out"?

In 2 19, the general Guan Yu was defeated by Maicheng and killed by Soochow. With the fall of Guan Yu, a series of butterfly effects appeared, including the fall of Jingzhou, the killing of Zhang Fei, Liu Bei's crusade, and the battle of Yiling, which was burned to death and defeated by Lu Xun, a scholar general. It can be said that these mistakes directly led to the serious weakness of Shu Han, and the restoration of Han Dynasty became out of reach.

Among them, Liu Bei lost the most in the battle of Yiling, and almost lost everything. Not only did his own troops suffer losses, but many military commanders also died, so that Zhuge Liang was stretched everywhere during the Northern Expedition. How much did Shu Han lose in the battle of Yiling? Did you really lose more than 700 thousand in history?

The battle of Yiling, as one of the three major battles in the Three Kingdoms period, will certainly be featured in the Romance. Even the enemy Sun Quan himself said: Now Liu Xuande is in the throne, with more than 700,000 soldiers under his command. What can we do? ? It can be seen that this time Liu Bei is fighting for national luck and fighting with Jiangdong.

In 222 AD, after Liu Bei succeeded to the throne, he used his own imperial coach to personally levy Dongwu. Wu Ban was the pioneer, Guan Bao was the escort, and the land and water went hand in hand to kill Jiangdong. Sun Quan was so frightened that he ordered Sun Huan to lead fifty thousand troops, but Liu Bei was worthy of being an old hand in fighting, and easily defeated Sun Huan and Wu Jun. Later, Sun Quan ordered Han Dang as the leader, Zhou Tai as the lieutenant, Pan Zhang as the pioneer, Ling Tong as the ally, and Gan Ning as the reinforcements. He refused. Unfortunately, these people are still no match for Liu Bei. After all, their strength is far from each other. The Korean Party and Zhou Tai failed, Pan Zhang was killed by Guan Xing, and Gan Ning was shot by Man Wang and Sha.

Liu Bei led more than 700,000 troops this time, and with the help of barbarians, it was very powerful. On the verge of approaching Yiling, Sun Quan took Wu Dong's advice and made Xun commander in chief to face Liu Bei. It is estimated that Sun Quan can only be a dead horse at this time, so he has to give it a try. After all, what about himself? Sun 100 thousand? Absolutely no match for the Shu army.

Liu Bei was happy and angry when he heard that Lu Xun was handsome. I'm glad that the vast Dongwu can't find a decent general, and it's ridiculous to make a scholar doll handsome. But what makes me angry is that Guan Gong's death is directly related to tracing the cause. Liu Bei thought that Lu Xun was a little worried and the weather was hot, so he camped for more than 700 miles, camped for more than 50 seats, and stationed by mountains and rivers. This gave Lu Xun a great opportunity, because after Lu Xun came to power, the public was not allowed to play, but this time he finally waited for Liu Bei to show his flaws. Lu Xun ordered people to divide their forces and attack Liu Bei's camp at night. Sure enough, Liu Bei couldn't resist and fled in defeat.

Shu Han suffered heavy losses in this battle. General Feng, Fu Tong and others died one after another, and Huang Quan had to surrender to Cao Wei. Guan Xing, Zhang Bao and Liu Bei narrowly escaped death. If it weren't for Zhang Yun's timely rescue, Wu Bing would have been defeated. It is estimated that Liu Bei is also born to die. Zhuge Liang can't help but sigh: the luck of the Han Dynasty is over! ?

Romance will naturally exaggerate the number of Shu Han troops, which shows Liu Bei's regret for Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others and hatred for Sun Quan. It is normal for the Shu army to claim 700,000 troops, plus the soldiers from barbarian king. But this is just a romance. Did Liu Bei really lose 700 thousand in real history? The answer, of course, is no, it is absolutely impossible to have that many, up to 50,000 people.

When Liu Bei attacked Wu Dong, Sun Quan surrendered to Cao Wei. It is recorded in the annals of the Three Kingdoms: Wei Shu: Gui Hai, Sun Quan wrote:? Liu Bei has 40,000 people in party member and 23,000 horses. When he leaves Zigui, please sweep and pounce, in order to succeed. ?

Then Liu Bei's strength from surprisingly should be 40,000, but why is it 50,000? Because he borrowed about ten thousand troops from barbarian king. Since it is a big war, if we borrow too few soldiers, say two or three thousand, it will not work at all. So at least 10,000, not too much, or this is a beautiful crusade or Han Shu Crusade. Liu Bei's borrowing soldiers did exist in history.

According to the Records of the Three Kingdoms, the late master sent Ma Liang to appease Wu Ximan's ministries, and all the ministries responded to the late master.

Moreover, in history, Wu Dong only gave Lu Xun 50,000 military forces, which is similar to the number of Shu and Han armies. In the end, Wu Dong won the battle of Yiling, and there is no record of a great victory with fewer victories. It can be seen that Liu Bei and Lu Xun are close in strength.

It has been recorded in the biography of the reflection of Lu Xun that in the first year, Liu Bei led the western world and appointed Xun as the viceroy, but Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang and other 50,000 people refused.

After Lu Xun defeated the Shu army, the Shu army only lost tens of thousands of troops, up to 50 thousand soldiers, and there was no such huge data as 700 thousand. For example, the biography of the reflection of Lu Xun: Xun urged the armies to frown on all sides and fall apart, killing and injuring tens of thousands.

If it is only 50,000 to 50,000, Lu Xun is still young and not famous, and his actual combat experience is not comparable to that of Liu Bei. However, Liu Bei actually camped for hundreds of miles and more than 50 seats, which were carved up by Lu Xun. After the defeat of the Shu army, Liu Bei retreated to Baidicheng, mixed with grief and indignation, and finally died. Helpless Liu Bei had to trust Zhuge Liang, unable to personally understand? Han Xingfu, are you still in the old capital? Great cause!
