Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, has been in battle for a long time in his life, and he can be said to be the son of heaven immediately. After the rebellion in Taoyuan, he personally led the army into battle, and fought dozens of battles in his life, so he can be described as a veteran of the battlefield. After raising the army, he fought against the Yellow Turban, fought against Lu Bu, resisted Cao Cao, and surrendered Liu Zhang, and reached the peak of his lifelong military career in the Battle of Hanzhong, repelled Cao Wei's military attack head-on, and also killed Xiahou Yuan, the commander of the Hanzhong group, and captured the throat of Hanzhong.
It's a pity that the good times don't last long, the sky always fails people's wishes, Guan Yunchang sent troops to Xiangfan and broke the army, and Uncle Liu Huang personally commanded the country's soldiers to take revenge on Sun Wu. Huan Hou was accidentally killed by the rebel generals, and Uncle Liu Huang was defeated by Lu Xun, a scholar of Eastern Wu, in the Battle of Yiling, burying the elite of the Quartet for decades, and also losing the capital of Shu Han to dominate the world.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei's defeat was attributed to the fact that he discharged a faint move of 700 miles of joint camp, so that Lu Xun took advantage of the fire attack, resulting in the defeat of the Shu army and countless casualties, and had no choice but to retreat to the White Emperor City.
In fact, this seven-hundred-mile joint venture was not a stupid trick, but the best way to deal with Wu Shu and the Pavilion at that time. In fact, the joint operation of 700 li is not a way of arranging the formation that everyone thinks is to hold on to the front of Soochow, but a supply line connecting the rear quartermaster center and the front battalion. Of course, if this line is cut off by the Dongwu attack, it is also unimaginable, but there are dangerous mountains on both sides of this line, and the Dongwu army can't pass, and the small force can't do it, so the safety is still ***.
And the formation of the frontal and Lu Xun is also lined up in a hundred miles, which is in danger of being attacked by the enemy. But at that time, Liu Bei ordered Huang Quan to lead the water army to block the Yiling section of the Yangtze River, where the water surface is narrow and conducive to defense, although the Shu Han Navy is not as good as the Jiangdong Water Division, it can occupy the upstream trend here, and with the blessing of the geographical advantage, it can still prevent the Dongwu Water Division, so as not to let them go upstream and attack Liu Bei's flank. This is also the reason why Lu Xun couldn't hold on at the beginning, he couldn't break through Liu Bei's frontal defense, and he couldn't cut off the rear supply line, so he could only let Liu Bei challenge in every way, but he couldn't hold on to it.
But such a stalemate is absolutely unfavorable to Eastern Wu, the Shu and Han sides are separated by Shu Road, Cao Wei is newly defeated in Hanzhong, and the Western Front is unable to enter Kouchuan in a short time. The eastern front is different, if Liu Bei drags Lu Xun's army here, then Cao Pi takes advantage of the fire to rob is an inevitable choice, the military strength of the battle of Xiangfan has been transferred to the east, and now he takes the opportunity to destroy Wu and just avenge the revenge of Chibi, so it must be Sun Quan who suffers under the stalemate.
So since Uncle Liu Huang has set up the formation properly, there is nothing wrong with dealing with it, why did he lose so completely?I think it should be Liu Bei who was anxious, and he ordered Ma Liang of the Jingxiangwang clan to contact and plot against the local forces in Jiangdong, and Ma Liang carried out it very successfully. Liu Bei felt that the success of the attack on Wu was just around the corner, so he ordered Huang Quan to lead the army to attack the public security to cooperate with the rebel forces in Jiangdong. It's a pity that he not only looked down on the Shu Han naval army, but also underestimated the attack power of the Sun and Wu naval forces, and Huang Quanqian, who lost his geographical advantage, was unable to break through the public security, and then he could not block the Yangtze River to block the Wu army from going up the river.
The weakness of the two long snake formations was completely exposed to the attack of Eastern Wu, the naval army set fire everywhere along the river, the Shu army was powerless to prevent a thousand miles of collapse, and the whole army collapsed in danger, Liu Bei could still gather the remnants of the army to defend himself according to Ma'anshan, Lu Xun gathered a large army to besiege and attack, there was no food and grass inside, and there was no rescue outside, so he had to abandon the defense and retreat west. At the time of such a defeat, he could still break through Sun Huan's resistance at Shimen Mountain and withdraw to White Emperor City.
At the age of sixty, he organized the defeated army to counterattack and defend in a rout, and continuously broke through the Wu army's resistance, which shows Liu Bei's ability to control and command the battlefield. is just eager to avenge the second brother, some are in a hurry, and a mistake caused irreparable failure, losing the strength to compete for the world, and also taking the lives of himself and the third brother.
