In 272 AD, at this time, ten years had passed since the surrender of Shu Han and eight years had passed since Sima Daiwei, and the general trend of the world had become increasingly clear, and although the Western Jin Dynasty had the problem of bald tree function, it was generally good and began to look forward to the great cause of unification, while Eastern Wu was stubbornly defended by the Yangtze River Heavenly Graben and supported bitterly.
However, the house leaked in the overnight rain, because of the brutality of the Wu lord Sun Hao, the Xiling guards took the city to the Jin Dynasty, the important town of Xiling in Eastern Wu fell into the hands of the enemy, xiling was lost, and the death of eastern Wu would be unstoppable, but fortunately, eastern Wu still had land resistance. In the face of the menacing Jin army, which is determined to win, and see how Lu Kang can turn the tide!
The last famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Kang
<h1>The battle of Xiling began - the Wu lord Sun Hao was cruel and unkind, and Xiling stepped forward to explain the city to surrender</h1>
When The Wu lord Sun Hao first succeeded to the throne, he cared for the common people and reduced the use of the palace, which was quite the style of the lord, but this was only an illusion, and it was not long before Sun Hao's tyrant nature was revealed, especially his murderous style made the hundred officials tremble, and a little carelessness was the head of the person landing.
In August 272, Sun Hao summoned the Governor of Xiling to go to Jianye to take up his post, and the BuYi family had been serving as an official in Xiling since his father, Bu Qi, and now that it had been more than forty years, he suddenly received the will to be transferred, and Bu Yan expressed panic. It may be that Sun Hao's dark image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, or it may be that Bu Xian is afraid of being framed by villains, anyway, he did not dare to see Sun Hao, but raised the city to throw himself into the Western Jin Dynasty.
In the autumn and August of the first year of the Feng Emperor, Zheng Xiling oversaw the explanation. Explain that it should not be, according to the city to descend to Jin. - Romance of the Three Kingdoms
This is nothing less than worse for Eastern Wu, who is already in a bad situation. Xiling is the original Yiling, is the border defense town of Eastern Wu, is the gateway to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, the loss of Xiling is equivalent to giving Eastern Wu a suspended death sentence, and for the Western Jin Dynasty, this is tantamount to a luxurious gift package, so Sima Yan on the one hand frantically gave Bu Zhi Jia Guan Jinjue, while sending a large army to receive Xiling.
Jin-Wu confrontation
<h1>Preparations before the war - the Western Jin Dynasty Three Roads army suppressed WuJing, and the land resisted the fortifications outside Xiling City</h1>
It is said that the Western Jin dynasty soldiers were divided into three roads, one with Yang Hu as the commander-in-chief of the main force of 50,000 to attack Jiangling, the other way for Xu Yin to lead the water army to attack Jianping, and the other way was that Jingzhou assassin Shi Yangzhao went straight to Xiling to receive BuXuan, and in the face of the huge pressure of the Western Jin Dynasty, the heavy burden fell on Lu Kang, the former enemy commander of Eastern Wu, who was stationed in Lexiang. He immediately sent Zuo Yi, Wu Yan, Cai Gong and others to the outside of Xiling City to build a fortification from Chixi to the old city.
This move was unexpected, which made these generals feel very confused, it is reasonable to say that at this time, when the Jin army has not arrived, they should first kill the step explanation, and retaking Xiling is the normal operation, how can they still build fortifications outside the city? Lu Xun had his own opinion on this, because no one knew Xiling better than him, Xiling City was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the soldiers were well fed, more importantly, when Lu Kang town defended Xiling, it was designed like a copper wall and an iron wall, Lu Kang knew that it would definitely be unable to attack between urgency, and when the Jin army arrived, it would be attacked inside and outside.
However, the generals did not know how difficult It was to bite Xiling, and they expressed their disobedience, especially Yidu Taishou Lei Tan was desperately trying to advise, Lu Kang agreed to let them try it in order to convince them, and sure enough, they did not return, so the generals finally threw themselves into the work of building a defensive line.
Battle of Xiling
<h1>The war experience of the Battle of Xiling - Lu Kang Crazy Show operation, for the Eastern Wu to stop the bleeding and continue to live</h1>
However, at this time, Lu Kang's riot operation had just begun, and the next action was even more shocking to the generals, and Lu Kang actually ignored Jiangling, which was besieged by Yang Hu's 50,000 troops, and decided to personally go to the Xiling front to direct the battle.
The generals began to doubt life again, but the other side was surrounded by the main force of Yang Hu, how could he abandon Jiangling, and Lu Kang once again gave his own insight. He believes that Gangneung City is strong enough to have a strong army, don't worry, and even if Gangneung is lost, it can be taken back immediately, and Xiling is different, and the barbarian tribes around Xiling will also rebel, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, only Zhang Xian was left to guard Jiangling, and he sent the water army inspector Liu Wei and others to intercept Xu Yin's water army, and he himself led the army to Xiling.
Kang Yue: "Gangneung City is full of troops and has no worries. If the enemy does not have Jiangling, he will not be able to defend it, and the damage will be small. If the Xiling is knotted, then the Nanshan Mountains should be disturbed, and it is difficult to say what they are worried about. Wu Ning abandoned Jiangling and went to Xiling, but Jiangling was strong? —Romance of the Three Kingdoms
At this time, the most famous scene of the command art of this battle appeared, at first, Lu Kang instructed Zhang Xian, who was guarding Jiangling, to build a dam to store water, with the intention of flooding the Yanghu army, and YangHu was secretly happy after receiving the news, because in this way he could quietly transport grain and grass by boat.
So he pretended to destroy the dam, with the intention of allowing Eastern Wu to strengthen it well. Unexpectedly, after Hearing about it, Lu Kang directly ordered Zhang Xian to destroy the dam. This made the Eastern Wu generals feel inexplicable, and they all sighed, and at this moment, there was also Yang Hu who sighed, there was no way, the water transport plan failed, and could only be changed to land, but it was time-consuming and labor-intensive.
In November, Yang Zhao's army arrived at Xiling, and Lu Kang confronted it with the defensive line built before, at this time there was a crisis in Eastern Wu, forced by the pressure of the Jin army, the general Yu Zan actually treasoned and surrendered to the enemy, and more importantly, Yu Zan surrendered to Yang Zhao, which was bound to fully expose the deployment of Eastern Wu. For a time, people's hearts floated.
But Lu Kang is Lu Kang, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and with the method of empathy, he predicts that the Jin army will inevitably attack its weakest place, that is, the place where Yi Bing defends, so Lu Kang will plan and use elite and Yi soldiers to exchange defenses.
Sure enough, as Expected by Lu Kang, when the Jin Army was full of confidence to come and collect the heads, it was severely attacked by the elite of Eastern Wu, and Yang Zhao was directly confused, seeing that it was not Lu Kang's opponent, and directly slipped away.
Lu Kang wanted to pursue, but he was afraid that the city's infantry would suddenly kill, so he showed another operation, he ordered his soldiers to beat the drum desperately, and made a gesture to chase, Yang Zhaojun was frightened by the formation riot, they threw away their armor and left, Lu Kang sent a light horse, and he defeated Yang Zhaojun and fled.
Hearing of Yang Zhao's rout, Yang Hu and the others could only retreat, and the free-handed Lu Kang began to attack Xiling City, and finally Xiling City was destroyed, Bu Yan and the rebel generals were killed, the three tribes were destroyed, and tens of thousands of followers in the city were pardoned by Lu Kang.
Resisting the fall of Xiling City, the Yiyi clan and their generals, since then, tens of thousands of people have been asked for forgiveness. - Romance of the Three Kingdoms
After the defeat of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yang Hu was demoted to the rank of general of Pingnan, and Yang Zhao was directly demoted to a commoner. Lu Kang was selected for the Martial Temple of later generations by virtue of this battle, and was admired by posterity. Of course, Yang Hu, as a famous general of the Western Jin Dynasty, also entered the Martial Temple, but in this battle, he was obviously suppressed by Lu Kang. Of course, the later legendary friendship between sheep and land will also be passed down through the ages.
Lu Kang won the victory
<h1>The result and impact of the war - although the land resistance was victorious, the decline of Eastern Wu had become an unstoppable trend, and the general trend of reunification was unstoppable</h1>
The Battle of Xiling, under the super god of lu resistance, made the Western Jin Dynasty fruitless, and brought the important town of Xiling back into the arms of Eastern Wu. Xiling is a place of contention between the Western Jin Dynasty and Eastern Wu, once the Western Ling falls into the hands of the Western Jin Dynasty, it can go down the river, the Yangtze River is no longer dangerous, and Eastern Wu has Xiling in hand, it can still maintain the status quo.
However, it can only maintain the status quo, although this war land resistance single-handedly turned the tide and stopped the bleeding for Eastern Wu, but at that time, the Western Jin Dynasty combined with the power of Wei Shu, and the national strength was booming, while Eastern Wu was already a building about to fall.
And Sun Hao is worthy of being the last emperor, he not only did not reflect on his own mistakes, but also regarded the victory in the Battle of Xiling as the starting point of his attempt to dominate the world, and became more arrogant.
Later, Lu Kang was seriously ill in bed, wrote to Sun Hao, and Qian Dingwan instructed that he must pay attention to Xiling, call it the West Gate of the Country, and explain that if Xiling is in danger, he must fight for it. Obviously, Sun Hao did not pay attention to it at all.
Four years after Lu Kang's death, the Western Jin Dynasty king Mao conquered Xiling, and then the Jin Dynasty destroyed Eastern Wu.
Lu Xun Lu resisted father and son
summary:
The Three Kingdoms period was an era of brilliant stars, Wei Shu Wu was full of talents, but Eastern Wu, as a slightly less popular party, the prestige of its generals was far less than that of Wei and Shu, but the actual situation was that the famous generals of Eastern Wu who were selected for the Wu Temple accounted for half of the Three Kingdoms. As the last famous general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Kang's skillful and scheming command art is admirable.
After Lu Kang's death, Eastern Wu lost its mainstay and had no barrier, and just six years later, Eastern Wu perished and the Three Kingdoms era ended, but Lu Kang's wonderful performance in the Battle of Xiling was remembered by later generations and became famous in history.
