(Battle of Yiling, Liu Bei)
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >, the defeat of the Shu state laid the foundation for the unification of the Western Jin Dynasty</h1>
In 280 AD, Sima Yan led an army to destroy Eastern Wu and unify the country. The world will be united for a long time. After more than a century of southern conquest and northern warfare, the 105-year-long Three Kingdoms period finally ended in this year. An era of disturbing crowd competition has finally settled.
During the Three Kingdoms period, heroes emerged, and Chinese history was even more wonderful and colorful because of the Three Kingdoms. The Three Kingdoms Interpretation is the Three Kingdoms Interpretation of each Chinese. In the heart of every Chinese man, there is a hero of the Three Kingdoms.
As we all know, the Battle of Guandu laid the foundation for Cao Cao to unify the north, and the Battle of Chibi laid the foundation for the Three Kingdoms of Tianxia.
However, the basis for the return of the Three Kingdoms to the Jin Dynasty should be attributed to the Battle of Yiling between the Eastern Wu Luxun camp and Liu Bei's camp from July 221 to August 222.
An eight-hundred-mile fire burned the camp, burning not only the foundation and vitality of the Shu kingdom, but also the accelerator and catalyst for the unification of the three kingdoms.
(Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang)
Whether it is the political situation or the state of the object, the triangular structure has stability, and dividing into three is a perfect political balance, and the separation of powers in the West draws on the unique charm of this structure. If we continue to control the situation in the three kingdoms of Wei Shu and Wu, needless to say, the state of division of the masses will continue for a long time.
However, Liu Bei, who was eager for revenge and did not listen to advice, was a light enemy along the way, informal, and in the Battle of Yiling, the Shu state lost soldiers and soldiers, and for a time the economic losses of the Shu state were as high as 67.32%, so that the accumulation of the Shu state in the past ten years was reduced to nothing overnight.
Gains and losses, and people and land lose twice. At this time, Liu Bei, who was caught in the quagmire of war, not only did not have land, a special period, but also caused a 36.52% casualty rate for men over 16 years old in the Shu kingdom, which is the core and most valuable wealth and stamina of a country. In a fire, the losses were lost.
The 800-mile fire of the Battle of Yiling directly reduced Shu Han, who was also one of the three strongest, to a weak state and a second-rate military state in the Three Kingdoms. This war caused the people of the Shu kingdom to have a sharp decline in confidence in the Liu clique, and the people who fled for a while, there were not a few people who fled the Shu country.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" >2, Liu Bei, emperor of the Shu Han Dynasty, marched aggressively and the country was shaken</h1>
"Some failures are unforgettable." History only has results, but if Zhuge Liang attacked Eastern Wu and Liu Bei stayed behind, would the Shu kingdom have a different tomorrow?
In 219 AD, Sun Quan's army besieged the first general of the Five Tigers of the Shu State, Guan Yu's father and son, Yi Bo Yuntian, and the loyal Guan Yun chang father and son refused to surrender, regarding death as a homecoming. Two years after Guan Yunchang was killed, in 221 AD, Liu Bei led an army against Eastern Wu.
Just before the war began, Liu Bei's third brother Zhang Fei was also killed, and the murderer fled to Eastern Wu. The two righteous brothers were killed, and Liu Bei was heartbroken and could not sleep at night. Oath: Do not destroy the Eastern Wu rats, vow not to give up!
In fact, Liu Bei was also an excellent military general, and he had excellent wisdom and ability. Although Zhuge Liang was worried about the situation in the Three Kingdoms, he was single-minded and willing to solve problems for the main public, and before marching, he also made every effort to prepare military supplies and dispatch non-commissioned personnel.
After two years of preparation, the Shu army finally began and pulled out! In 221 AD, the Battle of Yiling officially broke out, and the Sichuan army had no breed, and the Sichuan army was able to fight a good war. At the beginning, under the leadership of Liu Bei and under the opening of the way by many great generals, the Shu army along the way was like a bamboo, all the way to the east, and the wind was majestic.
After Lu Xun took command, he adopted delaying tactics. At this time, Zhuge Liang checked the marching map of the Shu army, found that there was deception, and hurriedly sent close cavalry to carry out eight hundred lijia urgent soldiers' letter of advice.
From the first step of Liu Bei's entry into the border of the encirclement, Zhuge Liang tirelessly reminded the lord Liu Bei many times that he should pay attention to caution, not to stay in the woodland position in the direction of the wind, and remember not to be deceived by Lu Xun's appearance, and to be lured by the army of Eastern Wu to penetrate deeply.
However, Liu Bei, who was eager for revenge, was completely reluctant to give up the situation, and the emperor of the Shu State, who had a violent personality at this time, still seized the pace of the march and entered Lu Xun's trap.
At the turn of summer and autumn in the scorching sun, in the deep mountains and old forests, where the grass and trees flourished, a large number of troops and a large number of Shu countries would camp and camp. However, what the Shu army was waiting for was a nightmare, a fierce and fierce fire, which caused countless Shu men and women to die and become ashes.
According to the history books, the Shu army was led only by Liu Bei alone, and a small number of close troops hurriedly returned to the territory of Shu Han, and from then on, they fell ill and soon drove west. This war was a devastating nuclear strike on the Shu state.
The overall strength of the Shu Han dynasty declined, and it was already very difficult to launch a larger war. A generation of benevolent and righteous kings, The Zhaolie Emperor Liu Bei also died in the White Emperor City after decades of military and horse career.
Liu Bei is heavy on love and righteousness, Zhuge Liang is heavy on logic, and Lu Xun has a wide city in his heart
The great man Chairman Mao once commented on Marshal Ye Jianying, using allusions: "Zhuge was only cautious in his life, and Lü Duan was not confused about major matters." Zhuge Kongming, in the final analysis of his life's macro tactics, is: do not take risks easily. The stability in his heart naturally makes Zhuge Liang not touch the war that has no chance of winning.
As a battle-hardened emperor, Emperor Liu Bei of Zhaolie had his own strategic thinking and his own logical judgment.
But Liu Bei has feelings and righteousness, is a person with a personality, and is easily swayed by emotions to influence his own thoughts, as an ordinary person, this is a valuable quality, but if he is a king, this may become a drawback. This is also the reason why people often say that since ancient times, emperors have been ruthless.
Lu Xun was an outstanding southern military analyst, too sleek and too sleek, such a person as a loach, elusive and difficult to deal with. At the beginning of the war, after carefully analyzing the strength of both sides, Lu Xun also chose to avoid its sharp edge.
And constantly lured the enemy to go deeper, set a trap for Liu Bei, liu Bei, who did not have Zhuge Liang as a staff officer at his side, driven by feelings, fell deeper and deeper, and finally in the Battle of Yiling, like his brother, he lost Maicheng, and in a monstrous flame of eight hundred miles, his empire went into decline.
Some historians believe that the biggest reason for the defeat of the Shu Han at the Battle of Yiling was Liu Bei's contempt for Eastern Wu. But if Zhuge Liang went into battle, even if the war could not be resolved at once, Zhuge Liang would use other means to make Eastern Wu compromise.
"The country is easy to change and difficult to move", everyone's growth trajectory is different, and the temperament is different. As a leader, but in the final analysis, it is personality that determines strategy and choice, plus the comprehensive elements of luck and circumstances.
The future and destiny of a country or alliance organization have changed subtly.
