The Sichuan army is good at fighting, which is what we often say. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei fought against Kyushu, which made Wei "happy and China refused to put him on the saddle", and "the granary was empty and the people were displaced, almost at stake", which is also an excellent example of this view. However, in history, the Sichuan army also had many times when it was not good at fighting, and even seemed vulnerable. So, can the Sichuan army fight? Speaking of it, it is easy to lose the sense of crisis because of its "land of abundance", vast territory, rich products and natural disasters extending in all directions. As long as military training is slightly relaxed, the combat effectiveness of the army will collapse rapidly within ten years. ▲ During Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition and the Five Dynasties, the demise of Shu before and after the Ten Kingdoms was in stark contrast to the tenacious resistance to Wei. After the destruction of the former Shu in the Tang Dynasty, ① Chencang (now Baoji) marched all the way, and more than 2,000 men from the forward Kangbu defeated the Shu army all the way, even Jiange (Guangyuan) had no time to defend itself, so they had to cut off the Jibaijin pontoon bridge. So Tang Jun quickly built a pontoon bridge to cross the river. The Shu army fled to the west of Mianjiang River and was able to reorganize its defense. Kang chased all the way to the deep mountains, avoiding Shu soldiers and floating across the river to defend, and killed Lutouguan. In the process of crossing the river, more than 1000 people drowned, only 1000 people survived. However, these thousands of people scared the defense of the Shu army to collapse. With the arrival of the follow-up army, the former Shu was destroyed. After the destruction of Shu in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was also like a farce. Wang Zhaoyuan, the coach of Houshu, declared: "My trip is not just to defeat the enemy. I should take these 20,000 or 30,000 carvings and know the Central Plains like the back of my hand! " ▲ The situation map of Shu after the Song Dynasty. At that time, Song Junbing was divided into two roads, of which there were only 30,000 people in the North Road, which was basically equivalent to 20,000-30,000 people in Wang Zhaoyuan's department. The Shu side had home court advantage and Jiange natural barrier. At first, Wang Zhaoyuan and Song Jun fought outside Jiange, and all three wars were defeated. After retreating to Jiange, Song Jun easily crossed Jialing River and bypassed Jiange. Wang Zhaoyuan rushed to fight. The two armies fought fiercely in Hanyuanpo, and the Shu army was easily defeated, killing and injuring more than ten thousand people. Coach Wang Zhaoyuan was also captured alive. ②▲ Meng Changjun sent Meng Xuanzhe to resist Song Jun, but the latter got cold feet. Meng Changjun, the Lord of Shu, wanted to pay a lot of money to recruit soldiers, so that Prince Meng Xuanzhe led the troops to fight against Song Jun. As a result, Prince Ye fled back before crossing Mianjiang. Later, after Meng Xuanzhe surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he became a general and fought against Liao many times. His performance is very good. I wonder how he will be beaten by his father Meng Chang when he goes underground. ▲ When the kingdom of Houshu perished, Mrs. Huarui, the beloved princess of Meng Changjun, wrote a poem saying: "One hundred and forty thousand people were disarmed, and none of them were men." In the Southern Song Dynasty, with the death of the Wu brothers (Wu Jun and Wu Lin), Sichuan's army declined rapidly. In several short wars with the Jin people, the performance was very poor, because these wars ended quickly and did not get much promotion. As a result, when Dad infiltrated Hanzhong, there were less than 20,000 field troops in Sichuan Theater in the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, Wokuotai sent governors to attack Song Shu, and Song Jun was completely defeated. Cao Youwen recruited only 5,000 private soldiers who could fight against the Mongols. In the end, they were completely annihilated because they were outnumbered. When the fighters of the Mongolian army swept through most parts of Shu, wiped out four-fifths of the population of Shu, and retreated the Sichuan war zone in the Southern Song Dynasty to the narrow area around Chongqing in eastern Sichuan, the Sichuan army finally recovered its combat effectiveness after being tempered by blood and fire. Yu Jie recruited Jian Yong and Shan Min extensively, and obtained a batch of high-quality soldiers from the masters of ceremonies such as Bozhou, which greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Shu army. (4)1251year, Yu Jie invaded Hanzhong with 20,000 soldiers, broke through the enemy's defense lines three times, and "captured quite a lot" and almost recovered Hanzhong. Although we had to retreat under the rescue of Meng Jun, the absolute superior force, it was not only the whole division, but also the return. Two years later, in July of 1253, Song Lizong also sent a letter to. Visible Yu Jie this world war I also brought back a lot of Hanzhong soldiers to defect. ▲ Yu Jie, a guard, was born a scribe, but was born a hero. 1258, Pu Xuan, commander-in-chief of Sichuan in Song Dynasty, attacked Chengdu. (5) Song Jun rushed into Chengdu and killed Shu Shuai Ah Fu of Mongolia, indicating that the field army in the Southern Song Dynasty was by no means without offensive ability. Although the war fell short because of the superiority of Mongolia's resources, the arrival of reinforcements was enough to make people excited and nostalgic. Since then, Wang Jian and Zhang Jue have stuck to the fishing city, not to mention their generosity and heroism. The last mountain city of Shu in the Southern Song Dynasty was probably captured by Mongols in 1288, nine years after the naval battle of Yashan. However, after Mongolia destroyed Shu and occupied Hanzhong and western Sichuan in Wokuotai era, it crushed the resources of the Southern Song Dynasty, and even after that, it was difficult for the Sichuan army of the Great Song Dynasty to recover. Due to giving up nearly a hundred years of military preparations, the final rise of the Shu army could not create a miracle. In the final analysis, the character of the people in Sichuan Basin is the combination of tough villagers and gentle rivers and plains. Only when the strings are stretched tightly can the famous fighting capacity of the Sichuan Army be exerted, otherwise it will collapse because of the ease caused by occlusion. Having said that, we can understand why Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei went to the Northern Expedition again and again. Not to mention whether there is any hope, if we have been camping in Shu, the Shu-Han regime will be destroyed by Wei Junbing for a long time because of the decline in combat power. ① Biography of Kang ZSZSZSZ, the History of the Old Five Dynasties: For three years, I sought Shu, thinking that the southwest was a pioneer in "ma bu" or horse stance just look. Filial piety is gentle and healthy, selfish and selfless. It is said that Wang led his troops to Fengzhou, Guzhen and Xingzhou, and was defeated by Sanquan. Shu soldiers spared no effort and traveled day and night. Wang hit Chengdu from Zizhou and broke the floating beam of Qi Baijin, thus defeating all the troops. ZSZSZSZ rebuilt the floating beam to take Mianzhou, and Wang Yan broke the floating beam of Mianjiang River. There are no boats to cross in deep water. Xiao Yan said that Li Yan, the envoy of Zhao Fu, said, "I went deep into the army, which is conducive to urgent needs. "When Wang Yan broke his heart, he was depressed, but he rode over the deer head and was at a loss. If the beam is repaired, we can stay for a few days. If Wang closes the pass and breaks the spirit of our army, delaying the retreat for ten days, and the outcome is unknown, it is advisable to promote riding across the river. " Only one thousand people benefited from riding with Li Yan, and more than one thousand people drowned in the infantry. Filial piety, long drive through the deer head, into according to Hanzhou. For three days, his men came to the rear of the army. The puppet Sixth Army of Shu forced Wang Zongbi to pay back the money with cattle, wine and money. On the tenth day, the two rivers were settled, and Xiao stopped in Hanzhou to follow some. Shu Ping's achievements, Yan is the most. (2) The History of the Song Dynasty (Volume 255, Biography 14): Self-interested states tend to be sword-like, and secondary interests are bright. General Quan Bin said, "The sword gate is a natural barrier, and it was called a husband and brother in ancient times. Every husband should be ahead of him, so you should make your own progress plan. When the viceroy came to see Tao, he said, "I want to surrender my soldiers, and I want to make a plan:' I'm going to Jiangdong, and the mountains are heavy, so I have a narrow path to Jiangsu. The Shu people set up a boat in Jiangxi, and there is a ferry on the other side. From then on, I walked twenty miles to Jianguan South, arrived at Qingqiang Store and joined the Tao. We can invade here because the sword door is not closed enough. "Quan Bin and others want to go there. Kang Yanze said," Susie Jing doesn't need a coach. Moreover, after repeated battles and defeats, the soldiers retreated from the sword gate. If all commanders attack together, they will be destined to come to the Soviet Union. If strong, strong, north fencing pass, the army broke. "All guest, its policy, life Shi Yande suited hasten to tell, build a floating beam on the river, shu people see, abandon zhai and dun. Zhaoyuan Wen Yande's soldiers came to Sue, and after Qiang Ming led the troops back, they lined up on Hanyuan Slope, leaving them to keep the sword door closed. Quan Bin and others smashed it, fled with Chong Tao, sent light horses to capture it, sent it to the Que, and later defeated Jianzhou, killing more than 10,000 Shu soldiers. (3) Biography of Song History and Cao Youwen: A friend heard that the Qing family was loyal and righteous, and he won 5,000 healthy men. (4) Song Yan announced the inscription on the tombstone of Wen Yang, the 15th host of Bozhou: Chun helped Xinhai and made him want to smash Hanzhong. You draw lots to accept orders, choose 5,000 sharp soldiers, die in Luocun, fight in the head of Ken's son (near Zuomu) and fight in the county (near Zuomu). Our army Jia Yong boarded the ship first and captured many people. At that time, I personally wrote the banner of "Zhao Zhongyong". ⑤ Biography of the Yuan Dynasty: Pu Xuan ordered Yang Dayuan and others to guard Jianmen and Lingquan Mountain and take Sichuan soldiers to Chengdu.
