He was regarded as an outcast by Liu Bei, but he resisted 10,000 people in the city with 800 people for a whole year
Introduction: There were many famous players in the Three Kingdoms period, they were good at winning more with less, and they were extremely resilient. Zhang Liao, the head of The Five Sons of Cao Wei, was originally a general of Lü Bu, who was given a platform to display his talents after defecting to Cao Cao, and once used 8,000 cavalry to break 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry, and once used 800 cavalry to repel 100,000 troops of Eastern Wu. Liu Bei also had such a person under him, his name was Huo Jun, originally a general in Jingzhou, who used 800 people to block the attack of 10,000 troops for 1 year after defecting to Liu Bei.
During the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's main water army was annihilated by Liu Bei and Sun Quan, and Jingzhou was also captured by Liu Bei. Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang are feuds, the two have been fighting for more than ten years, and Liu Zhang has no way to take Zhang Lu at all. Liu Bei wrote to Liu Zhang that he was willing to help him attack Zhang Lu, and Liu Zhang was very happy when he received the letter, so he invited Liu Bei to enter Shu and also gave Liu Bei a lot of military food. Liu Bei knew that Liu Zhang had already won the plan, so he took the military master Pang Tong and hurried into Shu.
Pang Tong formulated three strategies for Liu Bei to attack Yizhou, and Liu Bei chose the middle strategy after weighing the advantages and disadvantages. According to Zhong's plan, Liu Bei first met liu zhang in Chengdu, got the military supplies given by liu zhang, and then pretended to rush to Hanzhong, and When Gao Pei Yang Huai came to send them off, he directly beheaded them and led their troops first. When Liu Zhang learned of Liu Bei's approach, he was furious and quickly dispatched troops to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei left Huo Jun with 800 soldiers to guard ye meng city. After Huo Jun joined Liu Bei's camp, he never had the opportunity to display his talents, this time he knew that Liu Bei regarded himself as an outcast, but also knew that this was his own opportunity, if he could rely on these 800 people to defend Yemeng City, not only let the people of the world see his own ability, but also his position in Liu Bei's camp would also rise steadily.
Huo Jun ordered his soldiers to raise the city wall, and recruited the people of Yemeng City to collect a lot of large stones, logs, bows and arrows, and other defensive equipment, and then took a team of 200 people to take turns to defend the city day and night. Yizhou's army was poorly trained and did not have a general with excellent military literacy, Liu Zhang sent 10,000 people to attack YeMeng City for a year without taking it, while Huo Jun's 800 troops had almost no casualties.
This result surprised both sides, and also relied on the time Huo Jun won to conquer many cities around Chengdu, not only replenishing a lot of grain and grass, but also absorbing many of Liu Zhang's remnants and defeated generals, greatly strengthening his own strength. When Liu Bei conquered Luo County, he turned Chengdu into an isolated city. At this time, Liu Bei ordered Huo Jun to take these 800 people to Chengdu to support, and when the two met, Liu Bei rewarded Huo Jun in a big way, and promised to give Huo Jun the title of official after conquering Yizhou. Huo Jun knew that his efforts had not been in vain, and he was very careful when attacking Chengdu. Later, Liu Zhang ran out of food and surrendered to Liu Bei in desperation, and Yizhou became Liu Bei's territory.

Conclusion: After the war, Liu Bei appointed Huo Jun as the first merit of this battle, and when Liu Bei was named a general of the Five Tigers, Huo Jun could not enter the list due to lack of seniority, but his status in the army was the highest outside of the Five Tigers General. Liu Bei claimed that Huo Jun died of illness shortly after emperor, and Liu Bei was very sad, not only taking a hundred officials to mourn, but also sleeping in front of Huo Jun's grave, which shows how much Liu Bei attaches importance to Huo Jun.
