With the imminent launch of the new version of "Soldiers and Vehicles" on the coast of the land, all kinds of siege and garrison equipment will appear in our field of vision, of which we are more familiar, it should be none other than the Thunderbolt Car, in the Battle of Guandu, the Thunderbolt Car is even more brilliant.
What is a Thunderbolt Car? The "Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Wei Zhi, Yuan Shao's biography" records in detail: "Shao is a high bridge, rising from the earth mountain, shooting in the camp, the camp is covered, and the people are afraid." Taizu (Cao Cao) was a stone car, and the (Yuan) Shaolou was destroyed. The Shaozhong is known as the Thunderbolt Car. Also known as "throwing a car". Refers to throwing stones out of the car with thick bamboo; as a means of attacking a stronghold. Mounted hub, bullet stones. Because the sound is like thunder, it is called thunderbolt car.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the relevant description is as follows: At the beginning of the Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao relied on the advantages of equipment (a large number of bows and arrows), pressed the Cao army to the ground with a hammer, and built more than fifty earthy mountains, and the advantages of the bow and crossbow continued to expand, and the arrows rained down, and for a time the Cao army was miserable. At this time, Liu Ye offered a plan: "Take a stone and smash him!" (Can be used as a stone car to break it).) Dozens of thunderbolt cars, under the suppression of large and small stones, smashed Yuan Jun's seven meats and eight vegetarians, and did not dare to show his head. After that, the Yuan army began to use the "tunnel warfare" tactic (digging sub-army), digging tunnels to lead directly to the base camp of the Cao Army. Liu Ye smiled slightly: "What's so difficult about this?" Directly dig a trench to block it. Cao Jun also relied on digging a long ditch outside the camp to cut off Yuan Jun's "tunnel warfare strategy", and Yuan Shao suffered one after another. Liu Ye: Ji Cao Bei 6.

What is the relationship between Liu Ye and Thunderbolt Car? Many people mistakenly believe that the stone car was invented or modified by Liu Ye, and regard Liu Ye as an inventor. In fact, everyone misunderstood Liu Ye, even in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", it only recorded liu Ye's dedication, and did not describe that the thunderbolt car was invented or improved by Liu Ye. The person who improved the thunderbolt car is also a colleague of Liu Ye, and friends who are familiar with the Three Kingdoms may know it - Ma Jun. Ma Jun studied the stone car and improved it, "If you want to make a round, the county has dozens of large stones, and the drum wheel is the norm, then use the broken county stone to fly against the enemy city, so that the head and tail will be electrified." Try to wheel the county of dozens of tons, fly hundreds of steps. ("Three Kingdoms Zhi Wei Zhi Fang Ji Biography" Pei Songzhi supplement)
In the coast of the land, Liu Ye was also used as a spokesperson for the Thunderbolt Car (planning: Look, we designed the martial generals, all of which have historical basis). penman:? Why is he a two-star warrior? Yes, that's it:
Destroy the wall, the thunderbolt car comes with its own skills
Liu Ye: I'm so handsome, I'm actually only two stars!
Since Liu Ye is not a great inventor, there is no thunderbolt car is his patent, even in the game, the sense of existence is so low (in fact, the sense of existence in history is relatively weak, and the birth year does not know which year). So in addition to Liu Ye's misunderstood status as a great inventor, what other superiority did he have to become the elder of the Three Dynasties of Cao Wei?
Liu Ye (劉晔), also spelled Ziyang, was a descendant of Liu Yan, the King of Fuling in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a "Han Dynasty Relative" (Liu Ye: Yes, I am related to Liu Bei), and became famous as a young man for his hand blade and the villains around his father. Xu Shao praised Liu Ye as a "talent of the world". Who is Xu Shao? It is Xu Zijian who evaluates Cao Cao in the rendition: "The capable subject of the son ruling the world, the adulterous male of the chaotic world". At a young age, he became famous in Jianghuai and made friends with Lu Su and others.
Lu Su: I am 4 stars
Unlike Liu Bei, Liu Biao, and other Han clan relatives, Liu Ye did not rely on his own identity to divide one side, but chose to assist others, first to Zheng Bao, Liu Xun and others, and then to Cao Cao, and began his career as a prophet of "exhaustive strategy".
Liu Ye's first battle under Boss Cao was to fight mountain thieves. After Yuan Shu defeated Cao Cao, Cao Cao occupied Shouchun and sent troops to conquer the nearby mountain thieves, but lost the first battle. At that time, many strategists thought that the cost of the crusade against the mountain thieves was too low, and Liu Ye at this time urged the continuation of the crusade against the mountain thieves, and proposed a plan of military conquest and money bribery to deal with the plague of mountain thieves in the area. Soon the Rebellion of the Mountain Thieves was quelled, and Liu Ye also used this to enter Cao Cao's group of advisers, and was recruited by Cao Cao as a Sikong Warehouse Cao Tuan.
Cao Cao: Boy, there's something
Liu Ye's strategic vision was poisonous, and his identity as a "prophet" was revealed in the Battles of Hanzhong and Yiling.
When Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, because Zhang Lu was closed to war, Cao Cao could not attack strongly, and there was a gradual shortage of grain and grass, so he decided to withdraw his troops. At this time, Liu Ye advised Cao Cao that even withdrawing troops now would not solve the problem of grain and grass, so it was better to take advantage of the situation and attack strongly. Cao Cao adopted his strategy and eventually surrendered Zhang Lu.
At the same time that Cao Cao was capturing Hanzhong, Liu Bei also captured Xichuan, and at this time Shuzhong received the news that Cao Cao had taken Hanzhong, and the people were panicked. After the pacification of Hanzhong, Liu Ye advised Cao Cao: "The Shu people are shallow, and the Shu people are not ashamed", taking advantage of Liu Bei's untimely heart, attack Liu Bei, and Shu can pass on the decision. We are all familiar with the story behind, Cao Cao did not listen to Liu Ye's advice, and was eventually defeated by Liu Bei at the Battle of Hanzhong.

Cao Cao died shortly after the Battle of Hanzhong, and Cao Pi subsequently declared himself emperor. At this time, Sun Liu's alliance broke up because Lü Meng crossed the river in white clothes and Guan Yu was killed. Cao Pi naturally did not want to give up the opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity to enter, so he asked the group minister Liu Bei if he would attack Sun Quan because of Guan Yu's death and the loss of land in Jingzhou. At that time, most people thought that Liu Beixin had lost Jingzhou, had no soldiers in his hands, and would not easily send troops. However, Liu Ye believed that Liu Bei would inevitably send troops to revive the military prestige, and Liu Bei and Guan Yu had a deep affection and would definitely go all out to attack Wu. Sure enough, as he predicted, the Battle of Yiling soon broke out.
After the Battle of Yiling, Sun Quan sent people to claim subjection to Cao Wei, and Cao Pi was very happy. At this time, Liu Ye advised Cao Pi not to trust Sun Quan, and at this time Sun Quan showed favor to Cao Wei only to avoid the expedient measure of being enemies on both sides, and suggested that Cao Pi take advantage of the Wushu War to attack Sun Quan.

Cao Pi, like Cao Cao, chose not to adopt Liu Ye's advice and missed the great opportunity to end the three-legged stand. The Battle of Yiling was finally won by Sun Quan, at this time Cao Pi regretted it very much, intending to send troops to attack Sun Quan, Liu Ye advised, Sun Quan won a new victory, morale was high, and could not march. Cao Pi did not take the advice (the head was really iron), and indeed the army was defeated.
Cao Pi: My father asked me to guard against you Han Clan relatives
After that, Liu Ye successively predicted the rebellion of Meng Da and Gongsun Yuan. Neither Cao Pi nor Cao Rui accepted this. Looking at the history books, Liu Ye's strategic vision cannot be described as inaccurate, and it is not too much to call it "an exhaustive strategy". However, its accurate "predictions" are rarely accepted.
In the final analysis, the identity of the Han dynasty's clan relatives made Liu Ye extremely embarrassed in the Cao Wei camp, and he could not reassure the Cao Wei regime, and it was difficult to get Cao Cao's trust, but the Battle of Hanzhong did not take long for Cao Cao to die of illness. Later, although Liu Ye relied on his intelligence to become the "Elder of the Three Dynasties" of Cao Wei, he was eventually snubbed by Cao Rui for his own reasons, and eventually fell ill and died depressed.
Looking at Liu Ye's life, the things he predicted were basically all said, and it was most appropriate to call him a great prophet. Behind the accuracy of the prediction is his genius strategic vision. However, the identity of the Han dynasty brought him fame at the same time, but also made it impossible for him to integrate into the core of the Cao Wei regime, and his talents could not be fully exerted. If there is no exhaustive strategy, but it is rarely accepted, is it not a kind of sadness? What is even more lamentable is that Guandu dedicated his plan, so that many people mistakenly thought of a strategist as the inventor of the Thunderbolt car.
The new version of "Soldiers and Cars Wrong" is coming, can you and I have the same insight as Liu Ye, rely on the excellent equipment in our hands, show the ravines in the chest, penetrate the fog of the new version of the war, show a grand plan, and be famous and lead the land? We'll see.
