Changsha, a famous historical city in China, is a city destined to go down in history forever. That is, the Eastern Wu Jian Mu excavated in Changsha's Zouma Tower may reveal to us a historical truth on the side: Guan Yu may not be a careless Jingzhou, and the conclusion is that losing Jingzhou is the trend of the times. Today, the author will discuss this topic with you, welcome to add and Yazheng.
Guan Yu's tun bing land when he fought in Changsha
As we all know, ancient Changsha belongs to one of the seven counties of Jingzhou, and during the Three Kingdoms period of the Wind and Clouds, Changsha had many stories of anger and intestines, such as the popular "Battle Changsha": the red-faced Guan Gong Zhan Changsha. The main battlefield of the Battle of Chibi is in Jingzhou, and now if you drive from Changsha to Wuhan, there will be many place names related to the Battle of Chibi on the highway. After the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao returned to the north, among the seven counties of ancient Jingzhou, Cao Cao continued to occupy Nanyang and Xiangyang, and Sun Quan, who contributed the most, occupied Nan County, and Liu Bei, who had no foothold before, won the only one after the Battle of Chibi, including Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County, and Changsha County, and there is no doubt that Liu Bei was the biggest beneficiary of the Battle of Chibi. In order to let Liu Bei block cao's attack on Eastern Wu in front, Sun Quan lent Liu Bei the obtained Nan Commandery to Liu Bei, and in history, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou from Eastern Wu, but in fact it was only a Southern County. After Liu Bei borrowed the four counties in Jingzhou, according to Zhuge Liang's deployment, he used the territory of Jingzhou as the entrance to further seek Yizhou. Liu Bei handed over the territory of Jingzhou to his brother Guan Yu, a god of war of a generation, who was captured in the forbidden, flooded the Seventh Army, and went to the meeting with a single knife to scare Cao Cao into planning to move the capital to avoid Guan Yu's threat. However, the battlefield form was long and thin, and a generation of war god Guan Yu finally lost Jingzhou and eventually lost Maicheng, and eventually died at the hands of Wuxia Amun. Regarding the above historical fragments, the historical records, the interpretation of wild history, and the repeated dissemination of stage dramas and folk tales, it seems that everyone is convinced of this.

However, the Wu Guojian unearthed in Changsha may give us another message, Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou may be the trend of the times and not because of Guan Yu's carelessness. From June to December 1996, when Changsha was building the Pinghetang Commercial Plaza, a large number of Jian Mu of the Three Kingdoms Wu Guo Chronicle was found under the foundation of No. 50 Zoma Street in the Zoma Building. Here we need to say more, in the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu during the Three Kingdoms period, the Shu State did not have a historian to record history, which caused many things in the Shu State at that time to be unable to be studied now, but Eastern Wu paid great attention to the records of literature and history, which also provided important information for future generations to study the history of the Three Kingdoms period.

The total number of Wu Guo Jian Mu excavated from Changsha Zou Ma Lou reached as many as 140,000 pieces, these Jian Mu are the documents of Linxiang County and Linxiang Marquis of Changsha County of the Three Kingdoms of Wu, recording the time from Jian'an to Wu Jiahe in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, between 196 and 237 AD, and the content of the records involved many aspects such as politics, economy, military, and culture. Among the many Jian Mu, there is a piece of the content of the 20 words on the Jian Mu that may hide the secret of Guan Yu's military defeat that year. On this tablet it reads: The military official Dongyang Li increased ding by 10,000, and Jian'an defected in the autumn of the twenty-fourth year. The text on jian mu is very clear and straightforward, saying that in the autumn of the 24th year of Jian'an (219 AD), the 10,000 troops of Dong'an's additional troops rebelled en masse. Friends who are familiar with the history of the Three Kingdoms know that the 24th year of Jian'an is a very critical time, because it was in the 23rd year of Jian'an to the 24th year of Jian'an that Liu Bei's army finally captured Hanzhong after a hard battle, and Guan Yu, who sat in Jingzhou, was greatly inspired, and immediately waved his division north, which had the famous "Weizhen Huaxia" in history. From the perspective of war, attacking Cao Cao from the north was a strategy that Shu Han was concentrating on.

The Shu Han regime, like the Eastern Wu regime, is mainly composed of three forces: 1, the local powerful clique, 2, the old forces left by Liu Zhang, 3, Liu Bei's military clique, in order to unite the three forces, shu Han and Eastern Wu's approach is completely different, Shu Han is through continuous war, and Eastern Wu's strategy is "localization". Back to the point, when Guan Yu launched a war to the north in Jian'an in the 24th year, the people in the Jingzhou area that occupied it were actually complaining, why did they say so? First of all, Liu Bei left Guan Yu with 50,000 troops, which may have a chance of victory standing on the city wall, but if you want to take the initiative to attack, you must recruit troops and increase taxes in the Jingzhou area, which will undoubtedly increase the burden on the local people in Jingzhou. In a chaotic world, the core need of the common people is undoubtedly to live a safe and stable life, and your wanton conquest will inevitably lead to the loss of people's hearts. This is corroborated by the records on the Jian Mu excavated from the Changsha Zouma Tower. The direct defection of 10,000 people can be seen that the people in the Jingzhou area under Guan Yu's administration at that time and the military were scattered, and the author hypothesized that Guan Yu was defeated and took Maicheng, and there was a component of careless tactics, but the people's hearts at that time may have collapsed, although Guan Yu was a generation of war gods, he was powerless in the face of the name of collapse.
