The Battle of Yiling in Guandu Chibi of the Three Kingdoms (detailed) Thank you.

In January of the fifth year of Jian 'an, Yuan Shao led 654.38+ ten thousand troops to the south. Before this, Cao Cao had defeated Liu Bei, who was allied with Yuan Shao, and moved to Guandu, which was easy to defend but difficult to attack. In April, Cao Cao attacked Yuan General Yan Liang and defeated Yuan Jun in Baima (now hua county, Henan). Yuan Shao was defeated in the first battle, and his spirit was frustrated. He changed his adventurous attack to camp out. The two armies fought in Guandu for several months. At the same time, Cao Cao wanted to defend Xudu (now Xu Changdong, Henan) for lack of soldiers and food. Yu Xun, the counselor, believes that Cao Jun will defeat the strong with weakness, and at this time, withdrawing troops will take advantage of it; On the other hand, Yuan Jun underestimated his enemies, and the internal division and stalemate will change after a long time, which is a surprise victory. Cao Cao believed his words and sent troops to attack and burn the grain truck in Yuan Jun. He also led an elite army of 5,000 people to attack the grain depot in Yuan Laochao (now Henan), destroying and burning all the stored grain. When the news came, Yuan Shao and his men wavered and surrendered. Cao Cao took the opportunity to attack on all fronts and annihilated more than 70,000 enemies. Yuan Shao and his son fled north with only 800 people. The battle of Guandu laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify the north, and Yuan Shao never recovered. The battle of Guandu is a famous example in the history of ancient wars in China.

In July 208 AD, Cao Cao adopted the strategy of Shang Shuling, his chief strategic adviser, serving Yu Xun, "showing the beauty of flowers and leaves, and marching lightly to cover up its surprise", and led his own army to conquer Jingzhou and head for Wancheng and Yexian. In addition, Yang Wu's corps commander and advice doctor Cao Hong were sent to launch a surprise attack from Dongjing. In August, Liu Biao died in Jingzhou, and his second son, Liu Cong, succeeded to the throne. In September, Cao Hong, the pioneer of Jun, defeated Jingzhou Army in Wuyin and Wang Bo successively, and the vanguard of Jun has entered a new field. In addition, after Cao Cao captured Zhanglingjun, he ordered Zhao Yan to take Zhang Ling as the prefect and commander-in-chief to protect the army, and has been leading Zhang Liao, Yu Jin, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Feng Kai and Zhao Lu to station in Zhanglingjun as backup and support from the east. When Liu Cong panicked, he accepted the persuasion of Kuai Yue and Fu Xun. When Fancheng had been preparing to resist Cao Jun, he did not inform the station troops to vote for Jingzhou Left General Liu Bei and secretly surrendered to Cao Cao. Liu Bei didn't know that Liu Cong had surrendered until Cao Cao's army arrived near Wancheng, so he sent someone to ask Liu Cong. At this time, Liu Cong sent Zhong Song to tell Liu Bei that Liu Bei was frightened and angry. In order to avoid being isolated, he had to abandon Fan Nan and flee immediately. When crossing the river to Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang, the counselor, advised Liu Bei to seize Xiangyang. Liu Bei refused to go south and sent Guan Yu to lead the water army to advance by water. But around Liu Cong and Jingzhou, many scholars defected to Liu Bei and fled with him. In this way, the speed of Liu Bei's army was greatly slowed down, and it could only travel more than ten miles a day. At that time, Jiangling (Nanjun Zhisuo) stored a lot of grain, grass, weapons and so on. Someone advised Liu Bei to leave the people and capture Jiangling first, but Liu Bei didn't want to. Cao Cao heard the news of Liu Beinan's departure, fearing that he would get Jiangling's army, so he gave up the trench and went to Xiangyang lightly. He also ordered Le Jin to keep Xiangyang, and Huang Xu to keep Fancheng, and personally pursued Liu Bei with Cao Chun and Jingzhou Wen Pin. According to "Han Shu Jin Chun Qiu", Wang Wei of Liu Cong once advised Liu Cong to capture Cao Cao alive with Indiana Jones when Cao Cao was unprepared to surrender, but Liu Cong did not adopt it.

Jianghan in Ma Yin

Cao Jun's butch rode at a speed of 300 days and caught up with Liu Bei in Nagano. At that time, although Liu Bei had more than ten people and thousands of treasures, there were very few soldiers who could fight. Liu Bei left his wife and children behind and fled with dozens of people, including Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and Zhuge Liang. Cao Jun won Liu Bei's army and countless treasures, and even captured Liu Bei's two wives. Because Mrs. Gan and the young failed to escape in time, Zhao Yun killed them again and rescued them. At the same time, Liu Bei ordered Zhang Fei to lead twenty riders to patrol. Zhang Fei immediately said with a spear on the bridge, "I am Zhang Yide, but I can come!" No one dares to go near Cao Jun, and people suspect that there is an ambush here. Zhang Fei chased Liu Bei after tearing down the bridge. When Cao Cao returned, he did not continue to chase Liu Bei, but rushed to Jiangling. Prior to this, Sun Quan [1], the general of Wu Hou and Lu, who was entrenched in Jiangdong, was increasingly powerful. In the spring of the 13th year of Jian 'an, Sun Quan defeated Liu Biao, who was guarding Jiangxia, occupied several counties in Jiangxia, opened the door to Jingzhou in the west, and waited for an opportunity to annex Jingxiang. When Sun Quan heard that Cao Cao was going south, he accepted Lu Su's suggestion and sent Lu Su to Jingzhou in the name of Liu Biao's funeral. In fact, he wanted to find out the intentions and news of Liu Bei and others. When Lu Su arrived in Nanjun, news came that Liu Cong had surrendered and Liu Beinan had fled. Lu Su then went north and met Liu Bei in Osaka in Dangyang, and immediately persuaded Liu Bei to unite with Sun Quan. Liu Bei obeyed, turned around and joined Guan Yu's water army from Hanshui to the east. He joined more than 10,000 people under Liu Qi, the eldest son of Liu Biao and the satrap of Jiangxia who came to reinforce, and then retreated to the gorge on the east bank of the Yangtze River. After Cao Cao occupied Jiangling, he immediately took measures to stabilize the state officials and people, ordered "Jingzhou officials and people to work together and turn over a new leaf", and vigorously publicized Jingzhou's "submission". As a result, there were 15 members of the Jing nationality who were blocked. Han Song, Kuai Yue, Deng and others were appointed as Jingzhou celebrities, and Cai Mao was appointed as a captain engaged in corps commander, Sima and Changshui. At the beginning of Cao Cao's expedition to Jingzhou, Yizhou Pastoral Liu Zhang had already sent his subordinate Pu Yin to pay tribute to Cao Cao. In order to appease Liu Zhang, Cao Cao added Liu Zhang as a general. Soon, Zhang Su sent another driver to deliver munitions to Cao Cao, expressing his willingness to accept the call-up. Zhang Su was appointed as the rafter of the Prime Minister's House, and worshipped the prefect of Guanghan. After Cao Cao occupied Jingzhou, Liu Zhang once again sent another driver to Zhang Song to see Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was too proud and tired of Liu Zhang's constant demands for cheap money and ignored him. Master Yang Xiu advised Cao Cao to make Zhang Song his home, but Cao Cao refused. Zhang Song resented it, which paved the way for later persuading Liu Zhang to get along with Liu Bei. Cao Cao took the surrendered Jingzhou water army as the main force in the water war and prepared for the eastward expedition. Some people say that the target is Liu Bei, while others point out that this is a convenient way to corrupt Sun Quan's Jiangdong. Jia Xu persuaded the resources of Jingzhou, Cao Liyong to regulate the army and the people and stabilize the newly occupied land, but Cao Cao disagreed with him. Pei Songzhi, a historian in the Southern Dynasties, also thought that Jia Xu's statement was "inappropriate at that time".

be as close as lips and teeth—be closely related and mutually dependent

In October, Cao Cao left Coss to be stationed in Jiangling, and he personally led the army eastward. Zhuge Liang saw Cao Cao coming down from the east and said to Liu Bei, "It's urgent. Please order General Sun for help. " So he and Lu Su went back to Chaisang (now southwest of Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to see Sun Quan. Liu Bei also moved to the south bank of the Yangtze River and was stationed in Fankou. After Zhuge Liang arrived in Chaisang, he first stimulated Sun Quan by goading. Then I realized that Sun Quan didn't want to be controlled by Cao Cao, but worried that Cao Cao was too powerful to match. Zhuge Liang later announced that Liu Bei's troops were still not less than 20,000, and he was capable of fighting Cao Cao. Then it analyzes the disadvantages of Cao Cao: the expedition of teachers and the fatigue of foot soldiers; Northerners don't learn water warfare; Jingzhou people did not really join Cao Cao. Zhuge Liang believed that Sun Quan and Liu could turn defeat into victory by joining forces, and made it clear that there would be a three-point world after the war, and Sun Quan was gradually persuaded. But at that time, Cao Cao was menacing, and some family members, represented by Zhang Zhao, advocated surrender, thinking that Cao Cao's name was Han Xiang, and it was unreasonable to rely on the emperor to conquer all directions. Cao Cao has occupied the Yangtze River, and there is no natural barrier to defend in Jiangdong. Cao Jun is under water and on land, and his offensive is very strong. Jiangdong was unable to resist, so he advised Sun Quan to see Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao sent a letter of surrender, which read: "Today, there are 800,000 water conservancy troops, and Fang and others will hunt in Wu." The intimidation is extremely heavy. Therefore, Zhang Zhao and others surrendered to Cao Cao more firmly, and Sun Quan had a hard time making a choice. Lu Su secretly followed Sun Quan when he went to the toilet, pointing out that Zhang Zhao and others were not qualified. He also said that if he surrendered to Cao Cao, he could be a magistrate, but if Sun Quan, the master of one side, surrendered, Cao Cao would never tolerate it. Sun Quan lamented that Zhang Zhao and others were "very disappointed", so he agreed to Lu Su's suggestion to recall Zhou Yu's business strategy in Poyang. After Zhou Yu came back, he also insisted on resisting Cao. He analyzed Cao Jun's weaknesses one by one, roughly the same as Zhuge Liang's analysis: Cao Jun was exhausted and was bound to get sick; The weather is cold and the horse has no grass; Ma Chao and Han Sui are still in Kansai, which is Cao Cao's future trouble; Soldiers in the Central Plains abandoned the advantages of cavalry, but did not learn how to fight water. Then, the actual strength of Cao Jun was further analyzed, and it was pointed out that Cao Jun from the Central Plains had only150,000 to 60,000 people, but he was tired after a long battle, and the 70,000 to 80,000 people who lost their lives were suspicious. So as long as there are 50 thousand chosen men, they can be defeated. So Sun Quan finally made up his mind, drew his sword in public and cut off the corner of the table, saying, "General, if you dare to speak again, be the one who welcomes the drill, just like this case!" Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were appointed as the left and right governors, and Lu Su was appointed as the commander of Zan Army to help plan the strategy. He led 30,000 foot soldiers including Huang Gai, Han Dang, Lv Meng, Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Zhou Tai and Lv Fan to fight against Cao with Liu Bei along the river. Sun Quan, on the other hand, continued to be stationed in Chaisang as a backup, delivering supplies for Zhou Yu, and told Zhou Yu that if the war was unfavorable, "he would still be alone, and he would be alone with Meng De." At this time, many people in Cao camp thought that Sun Quan would kill Liu Bei if he didn't dare to resist Cao Cao, and then follow in Liu Cong's footsteps. This idea is also revealed in Cao Cao's surrender book, but Cheng Yu thinks that people lack understanding of Sun Quan, which may be a misjudgment of Sun Quan's courage. Liu Bei's reputation is abroad, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are ten thousand enemies, and Sun Quan knows that he can't support himself, so he will definitely support Liu Bei and unite Liu Bei against Cao Cao. Then as Cheng Yu predicted.

Battle red cliff

In December, Zhou Yu led an army to meet Liu Bei at Fankou. The two armies went against the current to Chibi and met Cao Jun who was crossing the river. At that time, Cao Jun had been affected by the plague, but it was difficult for the new water army to run in with the newly attached Jingzhou water army, and the morale was obviously insufficient, so Zhou Yu's water army defeated him in the first battle. Cao Cao had to "lead the water army to the north of the Yangtze River" to join the army, lean the warship to the Wulin side on the north shore, practice the water army, and wait for the opportunity. Zhou Yu docked the warship at Chibi on the south bank, facing Cao Jun across the river. At that time, Cao Cao was not used to the northern foot soldiers taking a boat, so he connected the boat end to end, and both men and women were on board. Zhou Yu suggested to Huang Gai: "Today, being outnumbered, it is difficult to last. However, the military ship is connected with the ship end to end, and it can burn away. " [2] Zhou 88 Oh revealed that from iko to the war day, Huang Gai prepared ten light boats, full of firewood and oil, disguised as red curtains and hung with banners and banners. At that time, the southeast wind was urgent, and there were ten ships sailing in front of Zhongjiang. Huang Gai raised the torch and made all the soldiers shout in unison: "What's going on!" " Cao Jun's officers and men were unprepared. "They all waited, watched and pointed at the words." . Two miles from Cao Jun, Huang Gai ordered the firewood to be lit, and at the same time he became very angry. The fire was fierce, and the ship flew like an arrow, burning up the north ship and extending to the camp on the shore. Smoke billowed in an instant, and countless people were burned and drowned. On the other hand, Sun Liujun crossed the Yangtze River and defeated Cao Jun in the chaos. Seeing that the defeat was irreversible, Cao Cao immediately set himself on fire and led his troops to retreat in the direction of Jiangling along Huarong Road (now Jianli North, Hubei Province). Zhou Yu and Liu Bei's troops went hand in hand, always following. Cao Jun suffered more than half of the casualties in this battle. After Cao Cao returned to Jiangling, he was afraid of losing Chibi and making the regime in the rear unstable. He immediately returned to the north, leaving Coss and Huang Xu in Nanjun (the place where Jiangling was ruled), and then appointed Lejin to guard Xiangyang, and Man Chong as Wei Fen's agent, stationed in Dangyang. Sun and Liu joined forces to win the victory in Battle of Red Cliffs. Battle of Red Cliffs's failure made Cao Cao lose the possibility of unifying the whole country in a short time, while Sun and Liu took this opportunity to develop their respective forces, thus the battle for Jingzhou between Cao Cao, Liu and Sun began. After that, Cao Cao returned to the north, and there was no chance to go south on such a large scale, but he still occupied Nanyang and Nanjun (Xiangyang County and Nanxiang County were separated from Nanjun and Nanyang County [Zhang Ling County]). Liu Bei began to attack Lingling, Wuling, Guiyang and Changsha counties south of the Yangtze River, and Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu to besiege Jiangling County of the Southern Army.

Jedi counterattack

In the 14th year of Jian 'an (AD 209), Sun Quan led an army to attack Hefei in the north, and Zhang Zhao led an army to attack Dangtu in Jiujiang County in the north (see Hefei World War I for details), but both were defeated. Zhou Yu and others were ordered to attack Jiangling, and Coss stayed behind and confronted each other across the river. Zhou Yu also sent Gan Ning to attack Yiling (now Yichang, Hubei), and Coss also divided his troops to besiege. Gan ning asked Zhou Yu for help. Zhou Yu used Lv Meng's plan to stay in Ling Tong, and then he and Lv Meng went to save him. After the siege of Gan Ning, he led his troops to the north shore. Wu Junxian surrounded Coss who came to fight Taurus, but later Coss broke into the army twice and saved himself. After the war between the two sides. Zhou Yu personally straddled the horse, but was shot on the right by a flowing arrow, which was quite badly hurt, so he returned it. Later Coss knew that Zhou Yu didn't get up, so he sent his troops to Zhen Wu. Zhou Yu got up and went to the barracks to encourage the officials and Cao Rengui to return. Then the two sides confronted each other. Lv Meng later recalled: "Yesterday, Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu were the left and right governors and attacked Jiangling. Although he was the master, Pu relied on himself for a long time and was a vassal, so * * * disagreed and lost several state affairs. " It can be seen that the internal contradiction between Zhou and Cheng is also one of the reasons why Jiangling has been unable to attack for a long time. On the other hand, Liu Bei listed Liu Qi, the satrap of Jiangxia, as the secretariat of Jingzhou, and led his own army to quickly capture the four counties of Wuling (now Changde, Hunan), Changsha, Guiyang (now Chenxian, Hunan) and Lingling (now Yongzhou, Hunan) in Jingnan, and the four counties surrendered one after another. Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang, a military commander, to supervise Lingling, Guiyang and Changsha counties, and to adjust taxes and exile the army. At the same time, Xu Lei, Chen Lan and other local forces entrenched in Lujiang County rebelled in succession. Cao Cao ordered the Xia generals to suppress, General Hu Jin and General Hu attacked Meicheng, and General Zhang Liao and General Ping Di attacked. Chen Lan and Mei Cheng were beheaded. After the defeat, Xu Lei led tens of thousands of Song people to flee to Jingzhou to take refuge in Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's strength grew, he marched into Jiangling to assist Zhou Yu, put Zhang Fei and his 1,000 troops under Zhou Yu's command, borrowed 2,000 foot soldiers from Zhou Yu, and sent Guan Yu and Wu to wait for the water to cut off the northern road, cut off the connection between Xiangyang and Jiangling, and completely besieged Coss. Le Jin, Huang Xu and Man Chong led the troops to Xia Shui and Han Jin to crusade against Guan Yu, but Guan Yu was defeated. Later, Li Tong, the prefect of Runan, was ordered to lead a group of people to rescue Coss. He fought all the way, dismounted and pulled out his antlers himself, and won the title of general, but he fell ill and died on the way. Finally, after being besieged for more than a year, Coss ran out of food and grass and suffered heavy casualties. He was forced to take the initiative to evacuate, and Zhou Yujun was stationed in Jiangling. According to Nanjun and Jiangxia, Sun Quan appointed Zhou Yu as the partial general, led the Southern County satrap, appointed Cheng Pu as the Xiapi general, and led Jiangxia satrap. Later, Liu Bei met Sun Quan and asked the governor of Jingzhou. Lu Su persuaded Sun Quan to agree and rejected Cao Cao with * * *. Sun Quan later admitted the fact that Liu Bei occupied the land south of the Yangtze River. Cao Cao was writing when he heard about it. His pen fell to the ground in astonishment. [3] Liu Bei named Sun Quan as a general, commanding Xuzhou animal husbandry and Jingzhou animal husbandry, and set the resident and base camp in Youkou River, renamed public security. In order to deepen the relationship between Sun Quan and Liu, Sun Quan married his sister to Liu Bei. During this period, many old officials and soldiers of Liu Biao defected to Liu Bei. Cao Cao sent Jiang Gan to lobby Zhou Yu to defect, but failed. In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an, after Zhou Yu's death, Lu Su, a captain of Fenwu, took over Zhou Yu's troops and stationed in Jiangling. At the suggestion of Lu Su, Sun Quannan "lent" the South County he owned in Jingzhou to Liu Bei, so Liu Bei occupied most of Jingzhou's territory and moved to Jiangling. Sun Quan also asked Liu Bei to delimit a part of Changsha County into its territory, set up Hanchang County, take Lu Su as the satrap, and change the road junction [4]. The embryonic form of the world's three-thirds has begun to take shape, and the struggle for victory has opened a new prelude.

In July of 22 1 year, Liu Bei personally led tens of thousands of Shu-Han troops and launched a large-scale war against Wu. At that time, the border between the two countries had moved westward to Wushan, and the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River became the main channel between the two countries. Liubeipai

General Wu Ban, Feng, and about 30,000 men (with the participation of Saman in the later period, with more than 30,000 troops) were sent as vanguard troops to seize the gorge, invade the territory of Wu, defeat Li Yi and Liu Abe of Wu Jun in Wudi (now Badong, Hubei), and occupy Zigui. In order to prevent Cao Wei from taking the opportunity to attack, Liu Bei sent Huang Quan, the general of Zhenbei, to the north bank of the Yangtze River, and sent Ma Liang, the deputy commander, to Wuling, in order to win over the local tribal leader Shamok and the Shu-Han army. Facing the strategic attack of the Shu army, Sun Quan stepped forward. General Zhenxi and right-back Lu Xun were appointed as viceroy, commanding Zhu Ran, Pan Zhang, Han Dang, Xu Sheng and other 50,000 people to go to the front to resist the Shu army. At the same time, messengers were sent to Cao Pi to make up for it and avoid fighting on two fronts (the so-called saying that Liu Beiyou had 40,000 former troops was mainly based on Liu Bei's 40,000 party in Sun Quan's distress letter to Cao Pi at this time). After Lu Xun took office, through careful analysis of the strength, morale and terrain conditions of both sides, he pointed out that Liu Beibing was strong, well defended, full of momentum and eager to win. Wu Jun should temporarily avoid the edge of the Shu army, wait for the opportunity to break the enemy, and patiently persuade Wu Jun generals to give up the requirement of an immediate decisive battle. Decisively implement the strategic retreat, and always retreat to a front line (now Yidu, Hubei Province) and Xiaoting (now Gubei, Yidu, Hubei Province). Then stop retreating and turn to defense to curb the continued invasion of Shu army. And concentrate our forces and prepare for the camera war. In this way, Wu Jun completely withdrew from the mountainous area, leaving hundreds of miles of mountains that were difficult to deploy to the Shu army. In the first month of AD 222, Wu Ban and Chen's water army entered Yiling area and stationed troops on both sides of the Yangtze River. In February, Liu Bei personally led the main force from Zigui to Xiaoting and established the base camp. At this time, the Shu army had penetrated 200-300 kilometers into the territory of Wu, and stopped the eastward movement because it began to be resisted by Wu Jun. Under the condition that Wu Jun held the important position, the Shu army had to set up dozens of camps in Wuxia, Jianping (now Wushan North, Sichuan) and Yiling for hundreds of miles. In order to mobilize Lu Xun, Zhang Nan, the former commander-in-chief of Liu Bei School, led his troops to besiege Sun Huan, who was stationed in the Post Road. Sun Huan is Sun Quan's nephew, so the generals in Wu Jun asked for troops to rescue him. However, Lu Xun knew that Sun Huan won the hearts of the people, and Yi Daocheng had plenty of food and grass. He resolutely refused to divide his troops to help Yi Dao, avoiding the behavior of dispersing troops and consuming troops prematurely. Battle of Yiling

From 1 month to June, the two armies were still at loggerheads. In order to fight Wu Jun quickly, Liu Bei frequently sent people to the front to insult the challenge, but Lu Xun ignored it. Later, Liu Bei sent Wu Ban to lead thousands of people to camp on the flat ground, and in addition, he ambushed 8,000 troops in the valley in an attempt to lure the enemy deeper and annihilate Wu Jun. But the plan still failed. Lu Xun's insistence on not fighting undermined Liu Bei's strategic intention of relying on superior forces to make a quick decision. The soldiers of the Shu army gradually lost their fighting spirit and their dominant position. Jiangnan in June is in the heat season, and the heat is pressing, and the soldiers of the Shu army are miserable. Liu Bei was helpless, so he had to transfer the navy ship to land, set up a military camp in the deep mountain forest, rely on the stream, station troops to rest, and prepare to wait until autumn to attack. Because the Shu army is located on the rugged mountain road of 200-300 kilometers in Wu, far from the rear, it is difficult to provide logistical support. In addition, Liu Bei's battalion is within a hundred miles and his troops are scattered, which provides an opportunity for Lu Xun to carry out strategic counterattack. Seeing that the morale of the Shu army was low, Lu Xun gave up the operational policy of advancing by land and attacking Wu Jun, and thought that the time was ripe for a strategic counterattack. To this end, he wrote to Sun Quan, the king of Wu, saying: At the beginning of the war, he was worried that the Shu army would go hand in hand with the land and rivers. Now the Shu army has abandoned the ship and camped everywhere. Judging from its deployment, there will be no change. In this way, there is a chance to defeat the Shu army without difficulty. Sun Quan immediately approved Lu Xun's battle plan from defense to counterattack. Battle of Yiling

[1] On the eve of a large-scale counter-offensive, Lu Xun first sent small troops to conduct a tentative attack. Although the attack failed, it enabled Lu Xun to find a way to defeat the enemy-the method of burning the Shu army company. Because Jiangnan was in midsummer and the climate was sultry at that time, the camps of the Shu army were all built with wooden fences, surrounded by Woods and thatch. In the event of a fire, it will burn to pieces. After the decisive battle began, Lu Xun ordered Wu Jun foot soldiers to raid the Shu army camp at night and set fire to the wind. During the dinner, the fire was fierce and the Shu army was in chaos. Lu Xun took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and forced the Shu army to retreat to the west. Wu Zhuran led a large army of 5,000 men to break through the front of the Shu army, stabbed the rear of the Shu army, and surrounded the Shu army in Zhuoxiang (now west of Yichang, Hubei) with the Korean party, cutting off the retreat of the Shu army. Pan Zhang and his men stormed Feng's Shu army and broke it. In Xiaoting, Zhu Gejin, Luo Tong and Zhou Yin cooperated with Lu Xun's main force to attack the Shu army. Defending Yi Dao, Sun Huan also took the initiative to fight. Wu Jun went well, and soon broke through more than forty camps of the Shu army, cutting off the connection between the water army and both sides of the Yangtze River. General Shu, Feng and Sha were killed, and the commanders Lu and Liu Ning surrendered. Seeing the whole line collapse, Liu Bei fled to Ma 'anshan, northwest of Yiling, and ordered the Shu army to defend itself around the mountain. Lu Xun concentrated his forces and was besieged on all sides, destroying nearly 10 thousand Shu troops. At this time, the Shu army was in flight, most of the casualties fled, and military supplies such as cars and boats were lost. Liu Bei fled overnight and arrived at Shimen Mountain (now northeast of Badong, Hubei). He was chased by general Wu, almost captured, and the defender Fu Tong was killed. Later, relying on the postmen to burn the equipment abandoned by the defeated soldiers and block the mountain road, they were able to get rid of the pursuers and escape into Yong 'an City (also known as Bai Di City, now Fengjie East, Sichuan). At this time, Huang Quan, the general of the Northern Town of Shu Army, was leading his troops to defend Wei Jun in Jiangbei. After Liu Bei's defeat, Huang Quan's way home was cut off by Wu Jun, and he had to lead the people to surrender to Cao Wei in August. In the same month, when Ma Liang retreated from the south to the northwest, he was stopped by Bu Zhi and died. After Liu Bei fled to Baidi City, generals Pan Zhang, Xu Sheng and others all advocated the pursuit of 56-point victory to expand the results. But at this time, Liu Bei assembled scattered troops, and Zhao Yun's rear troops came to help, and the Yongan garrison was nearly 20,000. Lu Xun has lost the opportunity to conquer Yong 'an. Coupled with the scruples that Cao Wei took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and attack the rear, he stopped chasing and took the initiative to withdraw. In September, Cao Wei really attacked Wu, but because Lu Xun was ready, Wei Jun finally failed. In April of the following year, Liu Bei was ashamed of Yiling's fiasco. He became ill and died in Baidicheng. The battle of Yiling ended like this.
