What are the benefits of Liu Bei's conquest of Wu? Why did Soochow turn defeat into victory?

At this time, Liu Bei assembled all his troops to attack Jingzhou, Soochow, and Soochow's guarding power in Jingzhou was limited. Although sun quan also sent troops to support him, after all, his troops were scattered and defended in other cities, so he was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength.

Moreover, Liu Bei has occupied this site in Jingzhou for many years, and he is very popular in the local area, and he is very adapted to the environment and climate of Jingzhou site. On Sun Quan's side, although Jingzhou belonged to them in the early days, it was not able to occupy Jingzhou again for a long time after it was later occupied by Liu Bei. Therefore, after Guan Yu's death, Liu Bei directly launched an army to conquer Sun Quan, which also made Sun Quan unable to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. Their defensive power was completely in their hands.

It is very important that Monroe, the pillar of Sun Quan, died at this time. Although the new Lu Xun is also very talented, he lacks prestige in the army, and his internal command is difficult. Moreover, he has just arrived in Jingzhou and is not familiar with the local environment. Therefore, Liu Bei has too many advantages over Sun Quan in military strength and folk support, which can be described as taking advantage of the right time, place and people.

Second, Soochow turned defeat into victory.

However, Liu Bei, who had the right time and the right place, failed. The most important reason is that Lu Xun adopted the method of sticking to the city. Although Liu Bei's side occupied an absolute advantage, in guarding the city, Sun Quan's side was enough, so when Lu Xun took a firm approach, Liu Bei had no choice but to attack hard.

Jingzhou, as a battleground for military strategists, was poorly built, and Liu Bei could not attack it for a long time, dragging the war into the heat. The weather at this time is the last thing Liu Bei wants and worries about. Because of the hot weather, all the junior soldiers had their grievances, and their combat effectiveness declined rapidly, so Liu Bei put the military camp in the dense forest for the summer.

So the dense forest became the fatal factor that led to Liu Bei's failure. Tracing the cause burned the whole forest, and the Shu-Han army in the forest was also burned to flight. Lu Xun took the opportunity to completely disintegrate Liu Bei's army. At this point, Shu Han failed and Wu Dong turned the tables.
