What is the burning camp in Lu Xun's works?

After Battle of Red Cliffs, Cao Cao's threat to Sun Quan and Liu Bei was temporarily lifted, but the contradiction between Sun Quan and Liu Bei intensified. Sun Quan thought Jingzhou should be the territory of Wu Dong, but Liu Bei occupied Jingzhou. Later, Liu Bei went to Yizhou and asked General Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou. Guan Yu led an army to attack Cao Jun in the north. He didn't want Sun Quan to send someone to sneak attack from behind, captured Jingzhou and killed Guan Yu.

Liu Bei and Guan Yu are brothers. He vowed to destroy Wu Dong and avenge Guan Yu. In July of the year when he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor (AD 22 1 year), he led most of the army of Shu Han and launched a large-scale war against Dongwu, regardless of Zhuge Liang's opposition.

Sun Quan got the news and sent someone to make peace with Liu Bei several times, but all of them were rejected. At a time when the generals Zhou Yu, Lu Su and Lv Meng had all passed away, Sun Quan had to appoint Lu Xun, a young general in Zhenxi, as viceroy, to command Zhu Ran, Xu Sheng, Han Dang, Sun Huan and other 50,000 troops to resist Liu Bei. Wu's ministers of civil and military affairs are all talking about appointing Lu Xun as viceroy. Some people say that Lu Xun's reputation is not high, how can he command the war? Some people say that Lu Xun has no talent and can't bear the heavy responsibility of commander in chief. Sun Quan knew that Lu Xun was honest and talented. He pushed his way through the crowd and resolutely handed over the important task of commander-in-chief to Lu Xun.

At this time, Liu Bei had led his troops from Zigui to the pavilion (now northwest of Yidu County, Hubei Province) and went deep into Wu Jingli. From Jianping (now Wushan County, Sichuan Province) to Xiaoting, the Shu army camped for hundreds of miles along the road. The Shu army besieged Sun Huan, the pioneer of the State of Wu, on Yidu Road (now northwest of Yidu County, Hubei Province). General Wu Jun asked Lu Xun to send troops to rescue Sun Huan. Lu Xun inquired about the front line in detail and said with confidence: "General Sun Huan has always been loved by soldiers, and he will certainly be able to hold the city. There is no need to save him now. When I defeat the Shu soldiers, he will naturally be relieved. " The generals also asked Lu Xun to send troops to meet Liu Bei. Lu Xun said: "Liu Bei led the troops to the east and won many battles." He is imposing and occupies a high position, so it is difficult for us to break through him. If we get off to a bad start, it will hurt morale. This is a major event that concerns the overall situation. We should encourage our soldiers, lay out our defenses, wait for the opportunity and strike first. " The Shu army challenged many times, but Lu Xun always ignored it. In this way, the Wu and Shu armies were at loggerheads from February to June of the following year.

Seeing that he could not win at the moment, Liu Beiyou had a plan, and ordered Wu Ban to take more than 10,000 old and weak soldiers to camp near Wu Jun, and led 8,000 chosen men to ambush in the valley. Wu Ban led the troops to challenge, throw its weight around, constantly insulting Wu Jun and luring Wu Jun to attack. General Wu Jun was very angry and asked to fight the Shu army for a while. Lu Xun said: "There must be falsehood here. We can't attack blindly, so as not to be fooled. " He ordered Wu Jun to hold his ground as usual, ignoring the challenge of the Shu army. A few days later, Liu Bei knew that his plan to lure the enemy was seen through by Lu Xun and had to withdraw from the ambush in the valley.

It was midsummer festival and the weather was extremely hot. The soldiers of the Shu army can't stand the steaming heat and complain bitterly. Liu Bei had to let the water army get on and off the ship, and together with the army, he built more than 40 barracks connected by ravines and wooded places to avoid the heat and rest the army, and then attacked Wu Jun on a large scale after the autumn was cool. Lu Xun saw that the front of the Shu army was stretched too long, its troops were scattered, its foot soldiers were tired and its morale was low, and he thought that the conditions were ripe for counterattack. He carefully drew up a battle plan to break Shu, wrote a report and asked Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, for instructions. After reading the report, Sun Quan said happily, "What am I worried about when Wu Dong has such a general?"

One day, Lu Xun summoned soldiers and announced his plan to send troops to break Shu. In order to win the counterattack, Lu Xun first sent a small number of troops to conduct a tentative attack on a camp of the Shu army. As a result, Wu Jun suffered, but Lu Xun has found a way to break the Shu army, that is, to attack it with fire. Lu Xun ordered the waterway soldiers to load thatch with ships and quickly transport it to the designated place; Every soldier has a thatch in his hand. They hide sulfur, saltpeter and other ignition materials in the thatch. When they arrived at Shu camp, they set fire to the wind.

Wu Jun was attacked by artillery fire. The Shu army was unprepared and immediately became a mess. Wu Jun from all walks of life rose by fire and launched a counterattack at the same time, successively breaking more than 40 camps of the Shu army. Shu Jiang and Feng couldn't resist and were killed. In a panic, Liu Bei moved his horse and fled to Maanshan in Yiling. Wu Jun pursued the victory, killing a large number of Shu troops and obtaining many munitions.

Liu Bei fled to Maanshan. Lu Xun's army surrounded Ma 'anshan and put Yamakaji in all directions. Liu Bei had to fight his way out with the beaten army, rush out of the encirclement and flee to the west. Wu Jun gave chase, and Liu Bei quickly ordered the personnel of the post station along the way to collect the munitions and armor discarded by the soldiers, pile them on the main roads, set them on fire, block the mountain roads and stop the pursuers. Fu Yuexi, the Shu general in charge of the break (sound rón? ), insisted on fighting, led his men to kill each other, was seriously injured, and fought to the death, so that Liu Bei got rid of the pursuers and fled to Baidicheng (now fengjie county, Sichuan). At this time, Liu Bei fell ill because of anger and regret. When he was seriously ill, Liu Bei sent someone to Chengdu to invite Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and others to arrange the funeral in Baidicheng.

Liu Bei sat Zhuge Liang by the bed and said to him, "I have a prime minister, and I have today's imperial career." However, my knowledge is shallow, I didn't listen to the Prime Minister's words, and I begged for failure. I want to regret and hate. Now I'm going to die, and my son Liu Chan is weak and incompetent, so I have to entrust major affairs to the Prime Minister. "He said, and handed his written will to Zhuge Liang and asked him to try his best to help Liu Yuxin Chen. Zhuge Liang told Liu Bei that he must fully assist the young master and live up to Liu Bei's great trust. In April, the third year of Zhangwu in Shu Han Dynasty (AD 223), Liu Bei died of illness at the age of 63.
