After months of confrontation between the two sides, Liu Bei was grinded by Lu Xun? Soldiers are exhausted and can't come back to life? . Coupled with the hot weather, Liu Bei moved the amphibious troops to the shore and chose a cool place to station. In this way, Liu Bei established dozens of battalions, with a battalion of 700 Li, which left an opportunity.
Lu Xun's fire attack quickly broke more than forty camps of Liu Bei and defeated the Shu army. Liu Bei led a few residual troops and fled back to Bai Di City in a mess. The rest of the Shu army was wiped out by the Dongwu army. History:
The ship's equipment, water and military resources were exhausted for a while, and the remains went down the river.
After this defeat, the Shu army was greatly weakened. Although Zhuge Liang accepted trusteeship in Baidicheng and tried to stabilize the stormy situation in Shu and Han, he still lost the ability to compete for the world. Therefore, the outcome of the battle of Yiling has a far-reaching impact on the situation in the three countries.
Before Liu Bei launched the Yiling War, he had a long time to consider and prepare. Between cutting Wei and Wu, he finally chose to cut Wu. This is because, topographically, Shu Han is in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the situation is favorable. As a general, Liu Bei became an outstanding general after Cao Cao's death. Monroe, the commander-in-chief of Soochow, has just died. He has traveled all over Soochow. No general can compare with Liu Bei. In addition, Cao Wei also targeted Wu Dong's side and behind. If he can fish in troubled waters, Wu Dong certainly can't support it.
Therefore, after a comprehensive consideration, Liu Bei thought that there was a greater chance of winning against Wu Dong, so he launched a war against Wu Dong.
However, to Liu Bei's surprise, he met Lu Xun, the young commander-in-chief of Wu Dong. No matter what tricks Liu Bei played, Lu Xun saw through them. When Liu Bei surrounded Yi Dao, all Wu Dong generals went to the rescue, but Lu Xun refused. When Liu Bei set up camp on the flat ground to lure the enemy, it was Lu Xun who rejected all Wu Dong generals who demanded to attack and refused to be fooled. We can see that Liu Bei's failure is entirely due to Lu Xun. Without Lu Xun as an opponent, Liu Bei's battle for Yiling is likely to win.
Then, if Liu Bei had not met Lu Xun and defeated Wu Dong's army, what would have happened in the Three Kingdoms? What will happen to Sun Quan? Will he fight to the end or run?
Let's talk about Liu Bei's intentions first. Is Liu Bei going to destroy Wu Dong, or just to recapture Jingzhou? Judging from Liu Bei's strength, Liu Bei launched the battle of Yiling. Although mobilized, he led only more than 40 thousand troops, while the Soochow army against him reached more than 50 thousand. In strength, Liu Bei is at a disadvantage.
It is difficult to rely on such power to destroy Wu Dong. Even if Liu Bei wiped out part of Sun Quan's army, his own army would suffer considerable losses. To destroy Sun Quan, we must ensure the control of the occupied areas and guard against Cao Wei in the north. This strength is far from enough. In this respect, Liu Bei's campaign attempt is mainly to recapture Jingzhou's hometown. As for the next step, it depends.
In Liu Bei's army, in order to take over Jingzhou quickly after victory, he also brought a whole set of Jingzhou administrative team. These people, for their safety, Liu Bei arranged them in the least dangerous yellow army. Never thought, because the posterior road was cut off, Huang Quan, who could not be withdrawn, led them to surrender to Cao Wei.
Cao Pi was very happy with the submission of such a large number of talents. He held the largest award ceremony in the Three Kingdoms period. According to historical records, there were 3 18 people in this group at that time, including Huang Quan and lingshihe in lingnan county. Among these people, Cao Pi not only named Huang Quan the general of Heather and Liehou, but also named 42 people such as Shihe as Liehou, and 100 people were generals and generals.
From the above indications, it can be seen that Liu Bei's campaign attempt at that time was to smash Wu Jun face to face and recover Jingzhou. The rest of the action depends. The most important factor in this situation is to look at Cao Pi's actions.
In the war between Liu Bei and Sun Quan, the most decisive factor was Cao Pi's attitude. However, Cao Pi's threat to Liu Bei is much smaller than that of Sun Quan. Because of Liu Bei's geographical advantages, Cao Pi had little means of action against Liu Bei's army in the valley and Wu Dong's army in the middle. However, if Cao Pi attacked Wu Dong, Cao Wei's army could directly enter the flank of Wu Dong and occupy the core area of Wu Dong. In this way, Wu Dong will face the disaster of national subjugation.
After Liu Bei defeated Dongwu and occupied Jingzhou, the whole situation depended on Cao Pi's actions. If Cao Pi takes advantage of the fire to rob and attack Sun Quan, then Sun Quan will only die. And if Cao Pi doesn't attack Dongwu or even threaten Liu Bei from Xiangfan, then Liu Bei can only stop and stick to Jingzhou.
Judging from the historical situation, Cao Pi probably won't attack Sun Quan. Because Liu Bei's political slogan is? Don't be the enemy? The contradiction between him and xelloss is irreconcilable. And at that time, Sun Quan had publicly surrendered to Xelloss, who had just ascended the throne. In order to establish prestige, he won't break the contract under such circumstances. So xelloss will not attack Sun Quan. On the contrary, it will secretly support Dongwu, continue to sit quietly and watch the tigers fight, and prepare for the fishermen to benefit.
Liu Bei is also a lean man. When he continues to attack Sun Quan, he will carefully consider the consequences. Relying on his strength to attack Wu Dong and guard against Cao Wei is beyond his power. Therefore, after Liu Bei retakes Jingzhou, he will stop attacking and wait and see.
In this way, Sun Quan is not in danger of national subjugation, and naturally he will not escape. He will gather his last strength and fight Liu Bei to the end with the secret help of Cao Pi. Xelloss is also happy to sit quietly and watch Liu Bei and Sun Quan fight to the end.
