Zhang Gao attacked Bashi County, how did Zhang Fei defeat him? What is the process?
In this article, I will talk to you about this topic.
The Battle of Gongqu between Zhang Gao and Zhang Fei was a duel between good generals.
In this battle, Zhang Gao's good out of the camp and Zhang Fei's clever detours were intertwined.
Sanba Crisis: Liu Bei lost a few states
In July 215, Cao Cao pacified Hanzhong and Zhang Lu fled to Bazhong.
Liu Bei, who was fighting with Sun Quan for the southern three counties, was taken aback and immediately made peace with Sun Quan and returned to Xichuan.
Most of Samba is inhabited by ethnic minorities, and at this time, these ethnic minority leaders were affected by "
Five buckets of rice teaching
"The impact of supporting Zhang Lu. Therefore, whoever Cao Cao and Liu Bei could win zhang Lu's support would be able to gain more support in the Sanba region.
Liu Bei sent Huang Quan to meet Zhang Lu, and Cao Cao also threw an olive branch at Zhang Lu.
Zhang Lu decided:
Preferring to be Cao Cao's slave rather than Liu Bei's guest, he was determined to submit to the imperial court (Cao Cao).
Seven chieftains of the Samba region (
Yi Shuai
They also turned to Cao Cao. Cao Cao appointed them as taishou of the three counties of Samba. Of course, Liu Bei refused to give in, and ordered Huang Quan to attack Yi Shuai, and Huang Quan to destroy Pu Hu and so on. The crisis has been temporarily alleviated.
Population competition
The Sanba area, separated from Hanzhong by Daba Mountain, is only accessible by Micang Road in the middle.
The Micang Road is very dangerous and difficult to navigate, so in history, both the Sichuan forces and the northern forces have rarely carried out large-scale attacks in the direction of Samba.
Cao Cao realized that because the Sanba region was geographically closer to central Shu, it would be difficult to hold on to even the capture of Samba, so he shifted his focus to population competition.
Therefore, Zhang Gao led an army to tour Sanba, preparing to migrate the population to Hanzhong.
Zhang Gao marched all the way to the Tang Canal. The canal is the center of population migration. Controlling the Canal, the population of Sanba can move north along the Enyang River, Liujiang River, and Zhou River to Hanzhong. It pays off!
Brazil is too defensive, it is the fierce man Zhang Fei. Who is not good to mess with, to provoke Zhang Fei?
Zhang Fei led his army to fight.
The canals are held together
Zhang Gao, who arrived at the battlefield first, laid down a defense at Wakou and Mengdangshi.
Zhang Gao's layout was deeply wanted.
Surrounded by water on three sides and a stretch of mountainous land on the back, It is the main position of Zhang Gao. Wakou, the confluence of the controlled choke stream and the Qujiang River, is the forward position.
Eight Meng Mountain, undulating eight places, there is a water ring, not a mile, there is often smoke over it, hence the name. Shu Han Zhang Fei broke the Wei general Zhang Bu here. - "Youdi Jisheng".
Zhang Gao's purpose is to migrate the population, put up this position, and buy time.
On Mount Bameng, there are only three trails up the mountain, one on the south, one on the west side, and one on the north side. However, the trail only allows one person to pass through at a time, and can only be climbed on rainy days.
Zhang Fei can't fly, and it is difficult to break through head-on. Therefore, Zhang Fei and Zhang Gao held each other for 50 days.
Zhang Fei, who can fly
Zhang Fei set his eyes on the back. To the north of Bameng Mountain are Jianbao Mountain and Wada Mountain, which are also very steep. However, it is difficult to do, at least it can be done.
Zhang Fei led more than 10,000 people to detour to the north to find a way to win.
Fei led more than 10,000 people to fight, and invited the Gao army to engage in battle from him, and the mountain road was narrow, and they could not save each other before and after, and the fly broke through. Guo abandoned Mayuan Mountain, retreated from the middle road with more than ten of his men, led the army back to Southern Zheng, and Batu was secured. - Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Zhang Feichuan
The greatest impact of the mountains on combat is the obstruction of the march.
In the past 50 days, Shan Shan has been Zhang Gao's friend, because Zhang Gao does not need to move, it is Zhang Fei who wants to move.
When Zhang Fei arrived behind Zhang Gao, Shan Shan was Zhang Fei's friend, because Zhang Gao had to move. ——
If you don't move, you will be wrapped in dumplings and can't go out.
The mountain road is narrow, and those who cannot take care of each other before and after have become Zhang Gao.
Zhang Gao was defeated and only led more than a dozen people to escape.
Analysis of campaign results
1, population migration: effective, but not fully successful.
In the "Qu wen of the School Of General Wu", it is mentioned that:
Hu and Hao disciples, the generals of the Ministry, the generals have been down, and there are more than a thousand people. ”
It's a bit of a braggart. However, the fact that there are more than a thousand people can say that there are thousands of people who have migrated is quite a few.
Wang Ping, a famous General of the Shu Han Dynasty who was later "rehabilitated", was one of the members of these generals.
However, the completion rate of Zhang Gao's task of migrating the population is not high.
Because, later Zhuge Liang chose from the plate barbarians in this area"
Repeaters
Together with the Qingqiang cavalry and the Southern Barbarians, they constituted an elite force of ethnic minorities.
2. Zhang Guojun's battle losses: the rate of battle losses is high, but the strength of the troops is not much.
Zhang Hao only led more than ten people to escape, and the loss rate was very high.
However, the number of troops lost will not be too large.
(1) There are not many soldiers brought.
Still in the "Quwen of the School of General Wu Wu", it is mentioned that Xiahou Yuan had 50,000 elite soldiers in Han. (Considering that it is impossible not to brag about the text, the number of troops should be less than this number.)
Many friends said that Zhang Gao brought tens of thousands of people, probably affected by "
Don't oversee the armies
"The impact. （
Take tens of thousands of people to the canal to hold each other for more than 50 days, Hanzhong does not want it?
）
Neither Xiahou Yuan nor Xu Huang could have been "governor" by Zhang Gao, and Zhang Gao's "other governors of the armies" should be based on 4,000 people in his headquarters and "Bahan Rui pawns" (Yi troops), and the maximum amount should be about 10,000 people.
(2) Zhang Gao should have fewer troops in the Battlefield of Gongqu.
Since Zhang Gao was the one who led the army back to Southern Zheng, the so-called lead army was naturally not just about ten people.
Obviously, Zhang Hao was beaten up in the ditch, but he was still able to gather soldiers and horses everywhere and go back together.
(3) After the war, in order to make up for the lack of troops in Hanzhong, Cao Cao transferred 1200 people from Guanzhong. Cao Gong was not short of soldiers, and if the losses were large, it was impossible to allocate only 1200 men.
In general, the Battle of Tangqu was a master duel between Zhang Fei and Zhang Gao, two good generals.
Zhang Hao was good at the camp, worthy of the name, and through the deployment of the camp, it brought great difficulties to Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei is by no means a reckless general, cleverly circuitous, anti-guest-oriented, and wins in one fell swoop.
As for the difference between Zhang Fei and Zhang Gao, I don't think it is necessary to be too entangled. （
A year later, in the battle of Xiayi, Zhang Fei and Ma Chao also lost to Cao Hong and Cao Xiu! Does this mean that Zhang Fei and Ma Chao are inferior to Cao Hong and Cao Xiu?
We just have to enjoy the duels of the good generals. Perhaps, we can get some inspiration from it to solve real problems?
