Linjiangxian (Yang Shen)
The water rolling in the east of the Yangtze River, the waves exhaust the heroes.
Success or failure turns empty. The green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red a few degrees.
White-haired fisherman on the river, used to watch the autumn moon and spring breeze.
A pot of turbid wine is a happy encounter. How many things in ancient and modern times are in the process of laughter.
The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is one of the first four histories of the Twenty-Four Histories, and is also the most important historical material for understanding and studying the history of the Three Kingdoms. However, the writing of the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is relatively simple, some characters and events are ignored, and many contents need to be supplemented by other historical materials. Pei Songzhi, a historian of the Southern Song Dynasty, annotated the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, supplementing with much valuable and now-defunct information. There is an interesting character recorded in it, called Liuzan. In order to go to the battlefield, Liu Zan had a similar move like Guan Yu scraping bones to cure poison; every battle was sung and sung, and he once participated in the rare great victory of Eastern Wu in the middle and late period of Eastern Wu, "The Battle of Dongxing", which shook Cao Wei's 70,000 troops; later died of illness during the attack on Shouchun. The following small editor will talk about the character of Liuzan.
The brave name of Liuzan, cutting his own tendons is comparable to scraping bones to cure poison
Everyone knows the story of Guan Yu scraping bones to cure poison, this incident spent a lot of ink in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Shu Shu , Guan Yu Biography", is a manifestation of Guan Yu's strength and bravery. In fact, Liuzan also had a similar experience. Liu Zan was a native of Yangzhou Huijian County, and his way of joining was to become a county official in his own county. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a huge uprising broke out, that is, the famous "Yellow Turban Uprising". The main forces of the Yellow Turban Army were basically in the areas of Jizhou, Yuzhou, Yanzhou, and Nanyang, Jingzhou, after all, they were relatively close to Luoyang, the political center of the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, in Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Youzhou, Yangzhou and other places, there are also large and small Yellow Turban Army forces. In the course of fighting Wu Huan, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army in Yangzhou Huiji County, Liu Zan slashed Wu Huan with his hand, but one of his own feet was also injured by Wu Huan, and he curled up and could not stretch.
He likes to read some military books and history books, especially the famous generals and classic battles in the history books. In order to be able to go back to the battlefield and establish a career in the chaotic world, Liuzan risked his life and personally cut his own tendons with a knife, despite the opposition of his family and friends. Suddenly, blood flowed like blood, and Liu Zan fainted for a while. The family had no choice but to follow Liuzan's instructions to pull his injured foot. Finally, Ruzan woke up and his feet recovered.
In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, fame was a very important resource, and there were many ways to get its name. Some are famous for the political resources and cultivators accumulated by their predecessors, such as Yuan Shao; some are famous for their study of books and scriptures, cultural education, such as Liu Yan; some are famous for their loyalty and righteousness, such as Gongsun Zhan and Tai Shi Ci. With fame, it is easy to enter the world, or go further in their careers. Liu Zan was known for his bravery, and was recommended by Ling Tong to Sun Quan, and gradually promoted to lieutenant of tun riding by virtue of his military merits. Lieutenant Tun was one of the five colonels of the Northern Army, which in turn was the Emperor's Janissaries. Liu Zan's position as a tun riding lieutenant may have been after Sun Quan had already claimed the title of emperor, or when Sun Quan was crowned King of Wu.
Singing a song, fighting invinciblely, defeating Sima Zhao
Liuzan had his own method of warfare on the battlefield, and before each attack, as the main general, he shouted to the sky, singing a high song, and the left and right generals responded in unison, in this way to achieve the purpose of boosting morale. Morale is a wonderful thing that cannot be seen or touched, but it is indeed an important indicator of the combat effectiveness of an army. At the beginning, Zhang Liao, Li Dian, Le Jin, Xue Ti and others used 7,000 people to resist Sun Quan's 100,000 troops, in part because Zhang Liao's 800-man attack on the general's division action effectively hit the morale of Sun Quan's army. With a high morale, Liu Zan even achieved the degree of "breaking the enemy's flag and not trying to lose defeat".
According to the historical data that Xiaobian can find, the most dazzling battle record of Liuzan was to defeat the Cao Wei army on the Dongxing Causeway with Ding Feng, Lü Zhao, Tang Zhi and others, laying the foundation for the victory of the "Battle of Dongxing". After Sun Quan's death, Zhuge Ke became an auxiliary chancellor. He repaired the unfinished Dongxing Causeway during the Sun Quan period, and built two city docks to defend the Dongxing Causeway. This move caused cao Wei to be dissatisfied, and in the winter of the first year of Eastern Wu Jianxing and the fourth year of Cao Wei Jiaping (that is, from 252 to 253 AD), Cao Wei launched an attack on Eastern Wu, attacking Jiangling all the way and attacking Wuchang all the way; and there was also a main force attacking Dongxingdi, with Sima Zhao as the commander, commanding Zhuge Shi, Hu Zun and others, with a strength of up to 70,000 troops.
In the face of Cao Wei's army, Zhuge Ke immediately reacted, raising 40,000 troops to rescue Dongxingdi and the two left and right cities, with Ding Feng, Liu Zan, Lü Zhao, Tang Zhi and others as the forwards. Taking advantage of the enemy's shortcomings of being a light enemy, Ding Feng and others took off their armor and used a short knife to climb up the Dongxing Causeway and crush the Cao Wei army on the Dongxing Causeway in one fell swoop; Zhu Yi led a force to destroy the pontoon bridge on the Dongxing Causeway, cutting off the retreat route of the Cao Wei army, and further expanding the results of the battle. In the "Battle of Dongxing", Cao Wei lost tens of thousands of people, killed and wounded many, and most of the soldiers were buried under the water, which even led to the simplification of Cao Wei's funeral. In the "Battle of Dongxing", most people only remember Ding Feng of the "Snow Night Short Soldier", but ignored the praise of the high song and the formation. After the Battle of Dongxing, Liuzan was moved to the position of General of the Left.
The "Second Rebellion of Huainan" took advantage of the situation to take Shouchun and fell ill and died
Beginning with the Young Emperor Cao Fang, Sima Shi gradually took control of Cao Wei's power through a coup d'état. This caused dissatisfaction and commotion among some of Cao Wei's loyalists and careerists. There were three mutinies in the Huainan region, known in history as the "Three Rebellions in Huainan". In the second year of Wufeng of Eastern Wu and the second year of Cao Wei Zhengyuan (i.e., 255 AD), the "Second Rebellion of Huainan" broke out, and Wuqiu Jian, who was guarding Yangzhou, led an army north to attack Xuchang and Luoyang (although only Xiangcheng was reached).
There are two theories about the "Huainan Second Rebellion", some saying that Wuqiu Jian cooperated with Eastern Wu, and some saying that no one was there. Anyway, Wu Qiujian's main force moved north, Shouchun was empty, Sun Jun (Cao Wei and Eastern Wu were in chaos at this time, Zhuge Ke was killed by Sun Jun, sun Jun controlled the government) led Lü Zhao, Liu Zan to take advantage of the situation to attack Shouchun, but Cao Wei Yu Prefecture Governor Zhuge Shi had already taken the lead to occupy Shouchun, both cutting off the rebels' retreat and preventing Eastern Wu from taking advantage of the fire. Sun Jun had to retreat, but Liu Zan suddenly fell ill during the march and was unable to move. At this time, Zhuge Shi sent his general Jiang Ban to lead four thousand troops to pursue and kill the Eastern Wu army. The old and sick Liuzan could no longer lead the song to rise up in blood, he knew that he would be defeated, handed over the army to his nephew, threatened the nephew to retreat quickly, and threw himself on the road. In the end, Liuzan was killed by Jiang Ban.
