As mentioned earlier, in the early years of the Three Kingdoms, the Wei Wen Emperor Cao Pi's army divided into three ways to fight against Sun Quan, the king of Wu, although it could not be said to be completely fruitless, but it also failed to achieve the expected results.
In view of the narrowness of the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Cao Pi decided to change the method. The waterways of Guangling in Xuzhou are very wide, which may make Wu Jun unable to play.
In July of the fifth year of the Huang Dynasty (224), Cao Pi rode Xuchang and, despite the advice of the attendant Xin Bi, prepared a new round of imperial conquest. In August, Liu Shangshu sent Sima Yi to guard Xuchang, personally governing the water army, and in September went to Guangling to prepare for the battle.
Eastern Wu also received the wind and was very vigilant. The Andong general Xu Sheng suggested building a fence along the south bank of the Yangtze River from the capital City Jianye to Jiangcheng Capital, building a fence, and setting up a fake arrow tower on the wall. These only take one night to complete. Eastern Wu also set up many ships on the river. As the river rose, Cao Pi saw that the Wu army had been prepared across the river, and lamented that eastern Wu had talents, and it was difficult to destroy them at once; Cao Pi's ship was hit by a storm again, and almost overturned.
Most of the ministers thought that Sun Quan would personally come to battle, but Liu Ye, the attendant, did not think so. Sun Quan did not come, and Cao Pi withdrew. At this time, the general Cao Xiu of the Eastern Expedition said that someone in Eastern Wu had surrendered, saying that Sun Quan was in The Mouth of The Beard. The leader of the group, Wei Zhen, thought it was false information, and under careful investigation, it was indeed false. In October, Cao Pi returned to Xuchang.
The trip to Wuwu, which was agreed upon by the co-author, turned into a military parade at public expense.
In March of the following year, Cao Pi prepared a fleet of ships to come again. This time, not only Xin Bi, but also the taiwei Jia Xu and Gong Zheng (御史中丞) Bao Xun also came to persuade him, and Cao Pi degraded Bao Xun as a law enforcer. In May, Cao Pi arrived. However, the mutiny in Licheng County affected Cao Pi's plans, and it was already August after the quelling of the rebellion that Cao Pi entered the Huai River with his water army. Shang Shu Jiang Ji said on the table that the waterway was difficult to pass, and Cao Pi did not listen.
In October, Cao Pi once again drove to the ancient city of Guangling for a military parade, this time it was his own soldiers, more than 100,000 soldiers, hundreds of miles of flags, across the river is Jianye.
After dragging on for so long, of course, it is not a question of whether Sun Quan is prepared, but a question of how far he is prepared. Seeing that the wind was heading towards the Wei army, the Eastern Wu side thought of dividing the troops into ten roads and taking advantage of the night fire to attack the Wei army at Jinghu. It was just that the Dao was one foot high and the devil was one foot tall, and the former general Who Led the Jinghu Wei Army had already calculated and made preparations, so the Wu Army was tragic.
Although Wu Jun failed to fight, Wei Jun also failed to fight. By the end of the year, the water surface had frozen, and Wei Jun's fleet could not move at all. Cao Pi saw that he could not break through the defenses of Eastern Wu, and sighed: The confrontation between the north and the south is really providential! Let's go!
However, when I went back, I had to take the waterway, passing through the somewhat dry Jinghu Lake, and Wei Jun's fleet could not go any further. Cao Pi looked at Jiang Ji: This problem was discovered by you, maybe you know how to solve it?
I don't know how Jiang Ji felt at this time, but he still tried to wipe the little boss's ass, digging the river channel, blocking the lake water, diverting the river water, and finally letting the fleet drive back to the Huai River.
For Cao Pi, there was an even bigger surprise: the Eastern Wu general Yang Wei and The Guangling Taishou Sun Shao learned of Cao Pi's class division and sent his troops to lead a five-hundred-year death squad to attack Cao Pi at night. This time there was no full favor to help, although Cao Pi was fine, but his sub-car feather cover was missing.
Liu Zhiji's "Notes on The History" therefore ridiculed Cao Pi for being "not martial in the face of the military", and repeatedly sent troops but only wasted national strength. People's skill points are limited, and Cao Pi, who pursues both culture and martial arts and all-round development, ultimately fails to prove that he is also a superb military commander.
After the Ming Emperor Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, Cao Xiu was defeated by Shiting, and from then on, Cao Wei did not think about destroying Wu in one fell swoop, and Sun Quan was relieved to claim the title of emperor.
Until it was replaced by the Western Jin Dynasty.
