Liu Bei has been chased by Cao Cao's army since Zhang Fei came back from dismantling the longboard bridge. It was decided to leave immediately and flee in the direction of Hanjin.

When Liu Bei and his entourage were about to arrive in Hanjin. found that Cao Jun was about to catch up. So he hurriedly ordered Zhao Yun to prepare to meet the enemy.

Zhao Yun was already very tired because of the battle of Changbanpo in front of him.

At this time, Xin Qi Guan Yu arrived in time. He borrowed 10,000 horses from Liu Qi in Jiangxia and fought out from the back of the hillside.

When Cao Cao saw this, he was afraid that he would "fall for Zhuge Liang's strategy again". So, he ordered the army to retreat quickly.

Guan Yu chased and killed Cao Jun for a while, and then reined in his horse and turned his head. went back to protect Liu Bei to Hanjin.

When he arrived in Hanjin, Liu Bei ordered the whole army to prepare to cross the river on a boat.

Liu Bei was talking on the boat.

At this time, I suddenly heard the war drums on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and countless warships, pulling their sails high, sailed downwind.

The ship slowly approached. It turned out that Liu Qi's fleet was coming.

That's fine. Liu Bei must have been happy.

So, Liu Bei and Liu Qi's men and horses were together. Drive down the river towards Jiangxia.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang and Sun Gan's warships also came.

Liu Bei hurriedly invited Zhuge Liang and Sun Qian to his ship.

So, Liu Bei followed Zhuge Liang's advice. Liu Bei asked Guan Yu to lead 5,000 soldiers to guard Xiakou, and Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang followed Liu Qi to Jiangxia.

Since Cao Cao's army retreated, Cao Cao did not chase and fight. He gave up and continued to pursue Liu Bei. Cao Cao led his troops straight to Jiangling. Because there is a large amount of military supplies there. This also includes ships that are necessary for water warfare, and must not be allowed to be obtained by others.

After Cao Cao marched to Jiangling in Jingzhou, he appointed the subordinates of the original Liu Biao to be appointed as the Jiangxia Taishou.

So who is Wenpin? How did he surrender to Cao Cao?

The author checked the information of the clerk and added it.

Wen Ping, the word Zhongye, Nanyang Wanren, Cao Wei famous general during the Three Kingdoms period. Wen Ping was originally the general of Liu Biao in Jingzhou. During the period when he was employed by Liu Biao, he guarded Jingbei. Liu Biao used him to defend against the attacks of the northern princes.

In the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208), after Liu Biao's death, his son Liu Cong succeeded to the throne. At that time, Cao Cao raised troops to conquer Jingzhou in the south, and Liu Cong consulted with the officials and decided that the land of Jingzhou would surrender to Cao Cao, and let Wen Ping surrender together.

Wen Ping said: "If you can't protect the land in this state, you should only be punished for such a dereliction of duty." ”

After Liu Cong surrendered to Cao Cao, after Cao Cao received Jingzhou, Wen Ping went to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked Wen Ping, "Why did you come so late?" Wen Ping replied: "Before, I couldn't assist Liu Jingzhou (Liu Biao) to serve the country together, but now although Jingzhou is lost, I often hope to defend Hanchuan and protect the territory, so that I can live up to my loneliness and weakness (referring to Liu Cong, etc.), and die worthy of the underground." However, what is envisaged now cannot be realized, and it has reached this point. Hire's heart is really sad and ashamed, and he didn't have the face to come in to see Ming Gong early! Say sighs and cry.

After Cao Cao heard this, Cao Cao was moved by the feelings of this loyal minister.

Cao Cao was stunned and said, "Zhongye, you are really a loyal minister." So Cao Cao entertained Wen Ping with generous gifts. He was also awarded a civilian appointment by the military.

Moreover, Cao Cao still asked him to guard Jiangxia, so that he could pawn the northern soldiers and town Jingjiang.

When Cao Cao pursued Liu Bei in Changbanpo. also ordered Wenpin and Cao Chun to participate in the recovery.

Since Cao Cao rushed back to Jingzhou overnight. And discussed with the generals: "Liu Bei has now gone to Jiangxia, I am afraid that he will form an alliance with Eastern Wu, how should I break him?" At this time, Xun You said: "Our soldiers are brave and fierce, and the world is afraid, you can send a messenger to Jiangdong first, and ask Sun Quan to send troops to attack Liu Bei with us, if Sun Quan is afraid, he will definitely surrender to us." In this way, the whole of Jiangnan is ours. ”

So, on the premise that Cao Cao saw Liu Bei flee to Jiangxia. Then he adopted the strategy of the strategist Xun You. On the one hand, he sent someone to contact Sun Quan of Eastern Wu. teamed up to attack Liu Bei; On the one hand, he led the troops to advance by land and water. Cao Cao's army was extremely strong. 800,000 troops came along the river, west to Jingzhou, east to Qichun, Huangzhou, Zhaizha company camp for more than 300 miles.

At this time, Sun Quan was waiting.

In fact, after the Jingzhou crisis. Sun Quan went to Chaisang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi). The attitude is very clear: support the army and respect itself, and wait and see the success or failure.

This is not surprising, after all, Cao Cao did not come at him. Liu Bei doesn't care what happens to him.

Everyone should understand the cruelty of the historical development of the Three Kingdoms.

In fact, Sun Quan also knew that Liu Bei was not Cao Cao's opponent at all. Therefore, he had to calculate the account: if Liu Bei was defeated, would Cao Cao continue to advance eastward? If he helps Liu Bei resist Cao Cao, what good will he do?

So, this series of things. You can take your time.

However, he said that Sun Quan saw that Cao Cao's army was coming, so he summoned all the strategists to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, Lu Su said: "Jingzhou borders Jiangdong, the situation is dangerous, the place is rich, if we can get it, we can do a lot." I want to use the name of hanging Liu Biao to find out the truth and reality. So, Sun Quan sent Lu Su to Jiangxia to talk to Liu Bei. This paragraph is the description of "Romance".

So what kind of person is Lu Su?

After Lu Su defected to Sun Quan, he put forward a strategic plan for Sun Quan to reach Jiangdong, this strategic plan. It can be called the Soochow version of "Longzhong Pair", which shows its profound influence.

Sun Quan benefited greatly from this strategic plan. Under the three-country pattern of strong in the north and weak in the east. In order to confront the powerful Cao Cao in the north, Sun Quan in the south must unite with Liu Bei. The "Sun-Liu Alliance" was formed. Among them, the one who contributed the most was Lu Su.

Without further ado, how did Lu Su in the official history come to Liu Bei to explain things?

Actually, it is recorded in the official history. As early as after the death of Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Lu Su said to Sun Quanjin: "Judging from the current situation, Jingzhou can be attributed to my Dongwu bag." Please send me to Liu Biao's son to offer condolences, if you can unite his forces, it will also be good for us. Otherwise, Cao Cao will take the lead. Sun Quan granted his request.

So, as soon as Lu Su arrived in Xiakou, he heard that Cao Cao had marched to Jingzhou. Lu Su traveled day and night, and when he arrived in Nanjun, Liu Biao's son Liu Cong had already offered Jingzhou to surrender Cao, and Liu Bei was ready to retreat south to cross the river. Lu Su immediately made a decision and went to find Liu Bei. In Dangyang Changbanpo (in present-day Dangyang, Hubei), Lu Su and Liu Bei met. Lu Su explained the mission sent by Sun Quan, and then discussed the situation in the world with Liu Bei. and persuaded him to unite with Sun Quan to fight Cao Cao together.

Later, Liu Bei led his troops to Xiakou. When Lu Su proposed an alliance, neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang had any objections.

Therefore, Liu Bei sent Zhuge Liang to follow Lu Su to Chaisang (now Jiujiang, Jiangxi) to meet Sun Quan.

At this time, Sun Quan's intelligence department got the news that Cao Cao would march into Jiangdong after taking Liu Bei. It is said that because of this, Cao Cao also wrote a letter to Sun Quan.

Now the question has changed, it is no longer a question of whether to help Liu Bei, but whether to surrender to Cao Cao.

As a result, Sun Quan immediately convened an emergency meeting to solicit opinions, and the result was a downward argument. They said that Cao Cao was like a tiger and a wolf. How can the Son of Heaven coerce the Quartet to fight against it? What's more, after he took Jingzhou and occupied Jiangling, even the Yangtze River natural danger was shared with me. It's better to surrender.

At this time, only Lu Su didn't say a word.

Sun Quan was helpless and got up to go to the toilet, at this time Lu Su also chased under the eaves, Sun Quan immediately realized that Lu Su had something extremely important to say, so he took his hand and asked, "Does Aiqing have anything to say to me?" ”

And Lu Su said: "Yes. It's not impossible to surrender, but it depends on whom. For example, I Lu Su, yes; General, you can't. Why? Because after Lu Su surrendered, he could rise step by step, and it would not be a problem to become a county guard. If the general surrenders to Cao Cao, where can he go? ”

Lu Su's words deeply touched Sun Quan.

So Sun Quan sighed and said: "Their discussion is very disappointing, only Aiqing and I have the same idea, this is given to me by God with Aiqing!" ”

In fact, what Sun Quan wanted to ask Lu Su the most was: "If you can't win, what should I do?" But Lu Su didn't say, and Sun Quan didn't ask.

So what capital does Dongwu have to fight against Cao? Will Eastern Wu's army be able to defeat Cao Cao?

However, there is no need to ask Lu Su about these two things. Because Lu Su didn't know.

If you want to ask, you have to ask Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu.
