Regarding the process of the Battle of Changshe, the Book of the Later Han Dynasty describes it in great detail, and the original text is as follows:
This passage is not difficult to understand, all friends are people with ID cards, naturally you can understand it at a glance.
I will briefly introduce the five people who appear in the following article: Bo Cai, the "senior" general of the Yellow Turban Army; "Song", that is, "Song", that is, Huang Fusong, the general appointed by the imperial court; Tian Dan, a famous general of the State of Qi during the Warring States period, who had been dead for more than four hundred years when the Battle of Changshe occurred; Cao Cao, I am afraid that no one knows him; Zhu Jun, the right lieutenant general appointed by the imperial court.
In my opinion, there are four points in the significance of the Battle of Changsha:
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="47" > first defeat after the Yellow Turban Uprising</h1>
At the beginning of the Zhangjiao Uprising, the Yellow Turban Army fought very smoothly, especially in the Bocai Department, before the Battle of Changshe, Zhu Jun, who had just defeated the outstanding battle.
Zhu Jun is not an ordinary person, not only fighting bravely, but also good at using his brain, Bo can defeat him, which is unexpected by everyone, and because of this, some soft-boned generals have the idea of going out of the city and surrendering.
Hearing of Zhu Jun's failure, Huang Fusong did at least four things:
He retreated to Changshe; deployed city defenses; appeased Zhu Jun; and sent troops for help.
The morale of the Yellow Turban Army began to besiege Changshe, while the defenders in the city were less than 10,000.
Therefore, when Huang Fusong seized the opportunity to break the waves, the Yellow Turban Army quickly collapsed, because they were "believers", and any collapse of the sense of "view" would cause a great blow, which could not be repaired in a short period of time.
Of course, a bigger blow is yet to come.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="95" > second, Jingzhou and other places became refuges</h1>
Due to the rout of Changshe, the Yellow Turban Army to the east and south did not organize a decent counteroffensive.
Huang Fusong and others took advantage of the victory to pursue the Yellow Turban army around Runan and Chen Guo, and defeated Bocai and Peng Tuo at Yang Zhai and Xihua successively, and the Yellow Turban Yu Dang either fled or surrendered, and the three counties were determined.
After that, Huang Fusong captured the Yellow Turban Canal Marshal Bu Ji alive at Cangting and beheaded more than 7,000 people. Cangting, which is the place where Cheng Yu offered the "Ten Faces Ambush" strategy in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", is very famous.
This series of operations made the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou become a bird of fright, and Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and others all became the ghosts of Zhu Jun's sword.
After the fall of the Yellow Turban, some areas became refuges for the people.
With Liu Biao's "horse into Jingzhou", with benevolence to the people, to plot to chaos, Jingzhou has become a paradise in the world, whenever there are celebrities or avoid chaos or move, the first place that comes to mind is Jingzhou, and the representative figure is Xu Shu.
From this point of view, did the foundation for Liu Bei's annexation of Yizhou slowly form from the time of Emperor Fusong?
As for Yingchuan, Yingchuan County at that time was not under the rule of Jingzhou, but one of the eight counties of Yuzhou. The reason why celebrities are reluctant to go, I think everyone understands...
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="97" > third, the classic offensive and defensive warfare that soldiers must learn. </h1>
The Battle of Changshe is not one of the three major battles, and its fame cannot even be compared with the Battle of Wancheng, the Battle of Hanzhong, the Battle of Hefei, etc., but many later battles, if participants can understand the Battle of Changshe, I am afraid that history will be rewritten.
Why?
I don't know if you also have this feeling: the process of the Battle of Changshe is too similar to the Battle of Yiling. The same is midsummer, the same is the battle, the same is stationed in the dense forest, the same is the fire attack...
We know that Liu Bei's family is not very well-off, and the study of foreign travel is still funded by his uncle Liu Yuanqi, so most of the martial arts are obtained from the battlefield.
It is a pity that although Liu Bei had participated in the counter-rebellion, he did not have the opportunity to "learn" this battle, and when he personally cut off the possibility of the Shu Han conquest of hegemony, would he also regret that he did not "gossip" about the process of the Battle of Changshe?
Zhuge Liang naturally did not have the opportunity to witness it, when he had just entered kindergarten.
So what should Zhuge Liang learn?
In the historical records, a sentence of Emperor Fusong is recorded: Soldiers have strange changes, and they are no longer widowed.
Later generations, whether they like Zhuge Liang or dislike Zhuge Liang, have a consensus on his character, that is, caution.
If Zhuge Liang's teacher was Emperor Fusong, then with his talents, he believed that Shu Han was not just on the side of partial security, and Liu Bei's expedition would certainly trust Zhuge Liang as much as he trusted Pang Tong and Fazheng.
As for whether it can change the fate of the two, I think so:
So a lot of times "accidental", maybe "inevitable" will happen.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="99" > Fourth, Cao Cao officially appeared on the historical stage</h1>
Friends who are familiar with Cao Cao know that he was already out of the army when Zhang Jiao was not yet preaching, but due to family lineage and other reasons, it was not until the Yellow Turban Army was pacified that he truly participated in the war for the first time.
If you can't go to the battlefield, how much impact will it have on Cao Cao?
I have written several articles about "the first half of Cao Cao's life", briefly describing his origins, careers, etc., but these contents did not help his military talent much, perhaps he learned some theories when he was too young, but without practice, it is equivalent to talking on paper, no different from a nerd.
After experiencing the Battle of Changshe, Cao Cao was completely two people compared to before.
First of all, leaving aside the pampering of the greenhouse and feeling the sufferings of the people in the chaotic world, he understood the importance of "the people".
Second, breaking away from the deceitful bureaucracy and dealing with truly talented generals, he learned to be able to do what he wanted.
Third, he learned the textbook general offensive and defensive warfare, so that the determination of the "Battle of Guandu" was no longer just a theoretical basis.
In the end, he witnessed the lethality of the cavalry and formed a frightening force, the Tiger and Panther Riders.
Therefore, Cao Cao was born different from others, and through this battle, he became the most likely tyrant to dominate the world.
