After defeating Liu Bei, Cao Cao wanted to annex Jiangdong in one fell swoop. Sun Quan and Liu Bei, with the efforts of Lu Su and Zhuge Liang, formed an alliance. Sun Quan ordered Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief, to lead 30 thousand troops and unite with Liu Bei's 20 thousand army to resist Cao Cao.

Cao Cao went from the east of Jiangling to Chibi (now West Chibi Mountain, Wuchang County, Hubei Province) to fight with Sun and Liu. Temporarily stationed in Wulin (now northeast of Honghu County, Hubei Province), facing each other across the river.

Zhou Yu used the trick of pretending to surrender, and ordered the general Huang Gai to lead ten small warships, loaded with firewood and filled with ointment. The bow of the warship was nailed, pretending to surrender and heading for the north shore. When it was two miles away from Cao Ying, the ships were ignited together, and then with the help of the wind, they went straight for Cao Jun. Cao Jun was defeated and the ship was burned.

2, Zhuge Liang Zheng Meng Huo-let go.

In 225 AD, Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of Shu Han, led his army south to consolidate the rear. Just as we were preparing to withdraw our troops, Meng Huo, the leader of the southern barbarians, gathered defeated skirmishers to attack the Shu army.

Zhuge Liang learned that Meng Huo was not only brave and strong-willed, but also loyal to others. He is very popular among Yi people, even many Han people worship him, so he decided to win him over.

Meng Huo is brave, but he is not good at fighting. The first time I went into battle, I saw the Shu soldiers retreating, thinking that the Shu soldiers were defeated by themselves and desperately chased them. As a result, they broke into an ambush and were captured.

Meng Huo decided that he was going to be executed by Zhuge Liang, so he told himself to die like a hero and not to be ashamed. Unexpectedly, Zhuge Liang personally untied him and persuaded him to submit.

Meng Huo refused to accept the failure and refused arrogantly. Zhuge Liang did not force him, but accompanied him to see the decorated military camp, and then asked him specially, "What do you think of the layout of this military camp?"

Meng Huo watched carefully. He found that the barracks were full of old, weak and disabled soldiers, so he said bluntly, "I didn't know if you were real before, so I was defeated." Now I see your barracks. In that case, it is not difficult to beat you! "

Zhuge Liang did not explain, but smiled and let Meng Huo go back. He knew that Meng Huo would come to steal the camp tonight and immediately arranged an ambush.

When Meng Huo returned home, he proudly told his servants that the Shu army was old, weak and beaten, and the layout of the barracks had been clearly seen. It's no big deal. If he robs the camp at midnight tonight, Zhuge Liang will be caught.

That evening, Meng Huo selected 500 swordsmen and quietly entered the camp of the Shu army. Nothing can stop them. Meng Huo was secretly happy and thought that success was imminent. Unexpectedly, the Shu army ambushed and Meng Huo was captured again.

Meng Huo was captured one after another and never dared to act rashly again. He led all the troops back to the south bank of Shanghai, only defending and not attacking. When Shu soldiers arrived in Shanghai, they couldn't get through without a boat. The weather is very hot and there are many difficulties. "

Zhuge Liang ordered the construction of some rafts and bamboo rafts, while sending a small number of soldiers to pretend to cross the river, but when he reached the middle of the river, he immediately returned to the other side and then went to cross the river; On the one hand, he divided his troops into two ways, bypassing the narrow places in the upper and lower reaches and crossing the river to surround the uptown where Meng Huo was holed up. Later, Meng Huo was captured again.

Although Meng Huo was captured for the third time, he was still unconvinced. Zhuge Liang still didn't kill him; Entertain him and send him back. Some soldiers don't understand Zhuge Liang's practice and think that he is kind and generous to Meng Huo. Zhuge Liang explained to everyone:

"If our army wants to completely pacify the south, it must reuse people like Meng Huo. If he can really contact southerners to work for the court, he can be worth 100 thousand troops. You work harder now, and you don't have to fight here anymore. "

After Meng Huo was captured and released this time, he made up his mind not to fight the Shu soldiers. But as time goes on. The camp ran out of food and sent someone to borrow food from Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang agreed, but asked Meng Huo to go out in person and fight with the generals of the Shu army.

Meng Huo defeated several Shu generals in succession, but as soon as he got a lot of food, he tripped over the horse rope and was captured. Shu will immediately convey Zhuge Liang's orders and let Meng Huo go back to move food.

In this case, Meng Huo finally admired Zhuge Liang from his heart. In order to make all the tribes submit to Shu, he invited the tribal leaders to go with him. As a result, the Shu soldiers led them into an ambush and caught them all. Word came from the Shu camp that Meng Huo was going back, and many department leaders asked Meng Huo to be the main commander. What should we do?

Meng Huo said with tears: "I've never heard of that in the war, that is, seven times to catch (that is, six times to release and seven times to catch). The Prime Minister has done his best for us, and I have no face to go back. "

In this way, Meng Huo and others finally obeyed Shu Han and the jurisdiction.

3. Zhuge Liang borrows an arrow-if he borrows it, he will not return it.

Zhou Yu was very jealous of Zhuge Liang's talent. One day, when Zhou Yu was discussing military affairs, he suggested Zhuge Liang to make 654.38 million arrows. Zhuge Liang promised to build it in three days and issued a written pledge to fulfill a military order. Zhuge Liang borrowed a boat, a sergeant and a straw handle from Lu Su afterwards.

On the third day, Zhuge Liang asked Lu Su to fetch the arrow together. On this day, it was foggy all over the sky, and the people across the street could not be seen clearly. Before dawn, Zhuge Liang ordered the ship to sail and let the sergeant beat drums and shout.

Cao Cao only ordered the crossbowman to shoot an arrow at the approaching ship. The sides of the boat were covered with arrows. Zhuge Liang ordered Li to return to Li, but Cao Cao chased him too late. 65438+100000 arrows were "borrowed".

4. Zhang Fei hit Guan Gong-forget the old love.

Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao in Xuzhou, and the three brothers lost contact. Later, Liu Bei took refuge in Yuan Shao, Guan Yu was caught by Cao Cao and forced to take refuge in Cao Cao (because Liu Bei's family was in Guan Yu's army).

Later, Zhang Fei occupied a small town and became king there. He was very angry when he heard that Guan Yu had taken refuge in Cao Cao. After Guan Yu arrived in Xudu, Cao Cao treated him well, but he always missed his eldest brother and third brother.

After helping Cao Cao kill Yuan Shao's generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou, he thought he had repaid Cao Cao's kindness and decided to look for his brother.

Later I heard that Zhang Fei was in that small town, so I came to see Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei knew this and didn't ask anything. He raised his spear and fought Guan Yu. It is said that Zhang Fei forgot his old feelings and misunderstood Guan Yu.

5. Cao Cao hit Wancheng-defeated and fled.

/kloc-in the first month of 0/97 (the second year of Jian 'an), Cao Cao led an army to attack Zhang Xiu and stayed in the water. Zhang Xiu led his army to surrender to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy, so he invited Zhang Xiu to drink with his generals. When Cao Cao was drinking, Dian Wei stood behind him with a big axe, the blade of which was more than a foot in diameter. When Cao Cao came in front of everyone, Dian Wei raised his axe and forced him to look.

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Xiu and his generals were afraid to look up. Cao Cao was very angry when he accepted his uncle's widow, Mrs. Zou, as his concubine. Cao Cao also gave gold and silver to Zhang Xiu's subordinate general Hu Cheer. When Zhang Xiu knew about it, he was suspicious and decided to rebel. ?

At the suggestion of Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu suddenly rebelled and attacked Cao Cao's camp. Cao Cao was caught off guard from being killed, which was not conducive to going to war, so he led the Qingqi to escape.

Dian Wei, a subordinate, died on the spot to cover Cao Cao's retreat. In the process of Cao Cao's escape, Zuo Jueying was ambushed by Zhang Xiujun and died in Wancheng. So Cao Ang gave Cao Cao a chance to survive, voluntarily gave his horse to his father Cao Cao to escape, and walked to protect his father from Wancheng. Finally, Cao Ang and Cao Anmin, the nephew of Cao Cao, died together.

Cao Cao finally escaped because of the desperate protection of his generals.
