In the TV dramas we watch every day, many of them are about the wars and chaos in ancient times, but many times the strong and brave soldiers who are shown on the screen are good men in the north, and the south has always been depicted as a water town in the south of the river, where the literati and inkers are produced. But in fact, this phenomenon is not a situation that only appears in our modern times, but it has been rumored in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms a long time ago.
This phenomenon first appeared in the Later Zhou Dynasty (Zhou Shizong), when they were prejudiced against the South, believing that the Southerners were weak, but in history there were many powerful and powerful people in the South. Five generations ago, there were many capable people in the south, why did the north haojie more regard the south as weak from the next week?
During the Three Kingdoms period, the State of Wu, as a great power in the Jiangnan region, the hero Hao Jie emerged in an endless stream, as one of the three major powers, the State of Wu and the State of Shu jointly resisted the State of Wei. Wu Guo's generals Huang Gai and Zhou Yu jointly staged a bitter plan to deceive Cao Cao's belief, Huang Gai took the lead in charging, and sailed ships with flammable materials such as oil and grass to Cao Cao's army, and then cooperated with the Shu army to wipe out most of Cao Cao's army in Chibi, so that Cao Cao fled into the wilderness.
In the Battle of Yiling, Eastern Wu did not panic in the face of the hundreds of thousands of troops coming from the Shu state, but sent the obscure general Lu Xun, although Lu Xun was weak and weak in the eyes of the generals, and would only talk about soldiers on paper, but Lu Xun was waiting for the Shu army to show its flaws, and Lu Xun was calm in the face of Liu Bei's generals, and was not deceived, and Liu Bei's ambush did not succeed. As Liu Bei's army deepened, Lu Xun also deliberately led them into the woods, and Liu Bei was not vigilant, but instead let the generals stationed by the water and sheltered under the trees. Lu Xun seized the opportunity to "burn the camp for seven hundred miles" and burned all the fires that Liu Bei had saved for decades, which showed that there was no shortage of generals in Jiangnan Water Township who had such a fierce move.
Later, during the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a general guarding the Tiger Prison Pass, and this person was also a southerner, but unlike Lu Xun, this was a fierce general. Mao Dezu made great achievements during his pursuit of Emperor Wu of Song, and took the lead in every war, with very strong combat experience. As a member of the Guards, Mao Dezu used his military talents and experience knowledge to the fullest. In the face of Emperor Mingyuan's attack, Mao Dezu did not panic at all, and used his army of less than 10,000 people to resist the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops of Northern Wei for more than 200 days.
Emperor Mingyuan of the Northern Wei Dynasty saw that the Tiger Prison Pass could not be breached, so he always sent more manpower to the Tiger Prison Pass, and the method of siege was also extreme, from besieging the Tiger Prison Pass to cutting off water and food. Mao Dezu always had his own way of coping, even asking soldiers to dig wells from the mountains to meet the soldiers' drinking water. However, the Northern Wei army was so numerous that the wells dug by Mao Dezu's army were found and buried in the rock walls of the Tiger Prison Pass, and it was only then that the Tiger Prison Pass was breached, but after he was captured, he did not surrender until his death.
In ancient China, the cultural talents of the Southerners can leave a brilliant page in history, so the brilliance of the corresponding military talents will be covered up, which shows that the Southerners are not weak, but have a fierce side like a tiger.
