From the 13th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (2008) to the following year, Sun Quan and Liu Bei joined forces to defeat Cao Shuijun in Chibi (now northwest of Puyin, Hubei), a famous strategic decisive battle on the south bank of the Yangtze River.

From the 13th year of Jian 'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (2008) to the following year, Sun Quan and Liu Bei joined forces to defeat Cao Shuijun in Chibi on the south bank of the Yangtze River (now northwest of Puyin, Hubei).

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, warlords scuffled and the world was in chaos. After Cao Cao basically unified the north (see Cao Cao's unified northern war), he wanted to annex Jiangnan and unify the world. In the spring of the 13th year of Jian 'an (AD 208), Xuanwu Pool was built in Ye (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei Province) to train the water army and prepare for the southern expedition. In July, more than 65,438+000,000 armies went south to Jingzhou in an attempt to destroy Liu Biao first and then advance eastward along the river, defeating Sun Quan and unifying the world. In August, Liu Biao died of illness in Jingzhou, and his second son, Liu Cong, was asked to surrender. Thousands of Meng Chong and bucket boats of Jingzhou Water Army were owned by Cao Cao, and Cao Jun's strength was greatly enhanced. Liu Biao, who was attached to Liu Biao in Fancheng (now Hubei Province), heard the news and led his troops south. In September, Cao Jun marched into Xinye (now Henan), pursued Liu Bei who fled to the south with fine riding, and pursued and defeated Liu Beijun in Changbanpo, Dangyang. Liu Bei retreated to Xiakou (now Wuhan), and Cao Cao continued to go south. Occupy Jiangling and advance into Jiangdong.

Generally speaking, Cao Jun's operational deployment is: Zhao Yan is the magistrate (the county is in the southeast of Zaoyang, Hubei Province), commanding seven armies, including General Hu Ban, General Pindi, General Pinglu, General Li Dian, General Zhang Dangkou and General Feng Kai, to command the actions between Hanshui and Huaishui in a unified way. In Jingzhou (now Xiangfan City, Hubei Province), Cao Cao stationed troops in Jiangling (now Jiangling City, Hubei Province), Xiangyang, Fancheng and other places, leading the main force along the Hanshui River and the Yangtze River to the east. Cao Cao tried to destroy Liu Bei at Fankou first, and then annexed Dongwu downstream.

Faced with the grim situation at that time, Liu Bei decided to unite Wu against Cao. In October of the 13th year of Jian 'an (AD 208), after retreating to Xiakou, Zhuge Liang was sent to Chaisang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to meet Sun Quan, and * * * made a plan to resist Cao. At that time, some advisers in Dongwu were awed by Cao Jun's momentum of 800,000 and advocated peace. Sun Quan hesitated between peace and war. Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, Zhou Yu and others made an incisive analysis of the current situation: they pointed out that although Liu Bei was defeated by Nagano, he still had certain strength. Now there are more than 10,000 troops and Guan Yu's elite water army, and Liu Qi's army is no less than 10,000. If we join forces with Wu Dong's army, our strength will be considerable. Cao Jun claims that there are 800,000 people, but in fact there are only150,000 or 60,000 people. Coupled with the unstable rear and tired expedition, he was not acclimatized and did not learn to fight in the water. As long as he makes good use of these weaknesses and unites against Cao, he will surely win. Sun Quan thus strengthened Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao, that is, appointed Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu as the left and right governors, Lu Su as a captain of Zanjun, led an elite navy division of 30,000, and signed a contract with Liu Beijun for 50,000 to enter Xiakou. In the winter of that year, Cao Cao relied on his military strength, arrogantly belittled his enemy, ignored the advice of his ministers, and kept pace with the whole army, pushing south of the Yangtze River. Sun Liujun went up the river from the gorge and met Cao Jun at Chibi.

Cao Jun mainly relies on walking, facing the big river, and immediately loses its advantage. The newly compiled and attached Jingzhou water army was weak in fighting capacity and was attacked by the plague, so that the first battle was unfavorable. It retreated to the Wulin (now Honghu Lake in Hubei Province) north of the Yangtze River and confronted Sun Liu's allied troops in Jiajiang. In order to reduce the wind and waves on the river, Cao Cao ordered the warships to be connected with chains and boards, just like castles, so that cavalry could gallop on the ground for easy attack. In view of the fact that the enemy was outnumbered and wanted to make a quick decision, Zhou Yu adopted Huang Gai's strategy of attacking with fire. In view of the serial warships in Cao Jun, Huang Gai sent someone to send Cao Cao a fake surrender letter, and agreed on the surrender time with Cao Cao in advance.
