Chapter 14: The Great River Goes to the West of the Hometown (1)

Early in the morning, Chibi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

A semi-circular curved moon hung obliquely in the blue sky, shining stars, and clouds of different shapes were irregularly distributed around the periphery.

The faint moonlight poured down quietly like water, dyeing the quiet peaks in the distance into huge deep emeralds and inlaid them on the vast earth.

A veily morning mist rose on the surface of the river, and the water and sky were the same as far away, and the waves swirled large and small, and when they were shone by the soft moonlight, they resembled countless glittering pearls and silver.

The undisturbed Yangtze River, like a soft jade belt, floats long into the distance.

After the crossing, Liu Chan has maintained the good habit of dancing with chickens in later generations for a long time, practicing running in the morning, practicing mental methods quietly, and practicing martial arts.

On a whim today, Liu Chan, accompanied by Xiang Chong, Fu Tong and other henchmen, came to the Yangtze River in Chibi.

The mighty Yangtze River, under the clear sky, exhausts everything, rushes away, it is really a magnificent scene of "boundless falling trees and Xiao Xiaoxiao, endless Yangtze River rolling", "stars hanging down the plains, and the moon surging big river".

Liu Chan witnessed the beautiful scenery, "thinking of the world and the world, and tears of sorrow" thousands of emotions spontaneously arise.

His thoughts flew freely in the sky of history, returning to the turbulent and fiery years of the Battle of Chibi.

Thinking back to the scene of Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang, Shuangbi in the south of the Yangtze River, Yushu in the wind, lupine scarf, majestic and heroic, chic and free, commanding Ruoding, and defeating Cao Cao's army of 800,000, Liu Chan couldn't help but be extremely fascinated, and a song by Su Dongpo "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia" blurted out, and his voice was full of emotion.

The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters are merry through the ages. To the west of the base, humanity is, Zhou Lang Chibi of the Three Kingdoms. The rocks pierced the air, the waves crashed on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at one time. Thinking about Gongjin back then, Xiao Qiao got married for the first time, and he was heroic. Lupine scarf, talking and laughing, the captives are gone. The old country fugue, affectionate should laugh at me, born early. Life is like a dream, and a bottle is still a river.

The poems are majestic, majestic, majestic, majestic, grandiose, magnificent, and magnificent.

As soon as the words fell, the applause was thunderous, and the hall was full of applause.

Xiang Pet and Fu Tong were dumbfounded, threw themselves on the ground, bowed and worshipped, and praised sincerely: "Unexpectedly, the little lord is young, but he is an export!" ”

Liu Chan explained that it was all the fault of searching for artifacts.

Liu Chan looked at the red cliffs that had been full of gunsmoke, beacon fires, and rivers of blood, and his heart was extremely heavy, war and peace were in the mind of the hero, and the victory or defeat of the war depended on the commander's strategy.

Under the sky of the blood-red history of those years. In the first month of the thirteenth year of Jian'an (208 AD), after Cao Cao basically unified the north, he immediately began to make military and political preparations for the southern expedition. Militarily, a Xuanwu Pond was built in Yecheng (now southwest of Linzhang, Hebei) to train the navy, and Zhang Liao, Lejin and other troops were sent to the south of Xudu to prepare for the southern expedition. At the same time, in order to relieve the worries and take measures against the possible **** Guanzhong area, the above emperor named Ma Teng as a guard lieutenant, and his son Ma Chao as a partial general, and continued to replace Ma Teng to lead the troops, so that Ma Teng and his family moved to Ye as hostages to reduce the threat in the northwest. In order to prevent possible interference by Sun Quan, Cao Cao instigated a rebellion in Shanyue and forced Sun Quan to take Sun Ce's son Sun Ben as a hostage. Politically, he dismissed the three princes, replaced the prime minister, the imperial historian, and appointed himself as the prime minister, further consolidating his dominant position, killing his political opponent Kong Rong on fabricated charges, and maintaining political authority.

After everything was ready, in July, Cao Cao, the northern overlord who swept through the princes and looked at the world, adopted the strategy of his chief strategic adviser Shang Shuling and Xun Yu in the service to "show Wan and Ye and march lightly to cover up their surprise", gathered 150,000 elite Cao troops, known as 800,000 troops, with the elite tigers and leopards in the elite as the vanguard, poured out of the nest, whipped the south, and marched towards Wancheng and Yexian.

From north to south, the military flags are hunting, the iron armor is lined up, the drums are thundering, the horse's hooves are shaking the sky, the earth is trembling, and the heavens and the earth are changing color. Thousands of troops and horses stepped out of the billowing wolf smoke and the wind and sand all the way, and the momentum was incomparably huge.

In addition, General Yang Wu Zhonglang and Doctor Cao Hong were sent to launch a surprise attack from the eastern path. In August, Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao died of illness and was succeeded by his second son Liu Cong. In September, Cao Hong, the vanguard of the Cao army, successively broke the Jingzhou army in Wuyin, Bowang and other places, and the vanguard of the Cao army had entered Xinye. In addition, after Cao Cao captured Zhangling County, he ordered Zhao Yan to guard Zhangling Taishou and supervise the army, and the commander-in-chief Zhang Liao, Yu Ban, Zhang He, Zhu Ling, Li Dian, Feng Kai, and Lu Zhao were stationed in Zhangling County, as a reserve to support from the east. Liu Cong panicked and surrendered to Cao Cao. Cao Cao personally worked with Cao Chun and Wen Ping, the general of Jingzhou, and led the tiger and leopard elite cavalry of 5,000 to pursue Liu Bei, who abandoned Fancheng and fled south. The tiger and leopard rode at a speed of 300 miles a day, and caught up with Liu Bei, who fled with 100,000 refugees, in Changsaka, and Cao Jun captured Liu Bei's countless baggage, thousands of military horses, and even captured Liu Bei's two daughters.

Cao Cao, who had won one after another, got carried away and continued to wave his army to occupy Jiangling and enter Chibi. The arrogant Cao Cao took the top of Mount Tai and the sound of wind and thunder, like a giant lion opening his bloody mouth, dreaming of swallowing Sun Quan and Liu Bei in one bite, and then dominate the world.

Who would have thought that history played a ruthless joke on the invincible Cao Cao, and the ending ended with Cao Cao's fiasco with more than half of Cao's army lost. may be retribution, Cao Cao at this time became Yuan Shao in the Battle of Guandu, and his opponent Sun Quan Liu Bei became Cao Cao. Cao Cao, the northern lord of the north, who had defeated the strong with the weak, repeated the mistake of the battle of Yuan Shaoguandu, and was defeated by the weak Liu Bei, who had been defeated repeatedly, and Sun Quan, who was determined to be in the world. More than 600 years later, history repeats itself, and Fu Jian, the same overlord from the north, did not learn the lesson of Cao Cao, and his 900,000 army was also defeated by the 80,000 troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty by a river.

The proud Cao Cao who has been on the battlefield for a long time, this heroic and heroic talent, and the troubled traitor who swallowed rivers and mountains, never dreamed that his great dream of careful planning and precautionary measures was gently waved by the generation of wise men and elegant and transcendent wizards of the Wolong feather fan, and the sonorous dance of the sword of the heroic generation of Confucian generals and the handsome and dashing hero Zhou Lang, which shattered in the dim sky of Chibi, and disappeared forever.

Liu Chan looked at the red sun rising in the east of Chibi and thought about the reason for Cao Cao's failure.

Strategically, the root cause of Cao Cao's defeat lies in subjective deaf pride and blind self-confidence.

The so-called deaf pride is loyalty against the ear. After the defeat in the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao lamented: "Guo Fengxiao is here, and he will not be lonely" ("Three Kingdoms, Wei Shu, Guo Jia Biography"). As early as when he was about to wave his army south, the strategist Jia Xu strongly advised Cao Cao not to go south, because the time was not ripe at that time. "The Biography of Wei Zhijia Xu" wrote: "In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Taizu broke Jingzhou and wanted to go east along the river. He said: 'The Ming Dynasty broke the Yuan clan in the past, and now it is Hannan, and the prestige is far away, and the army is powerful. If you take advantage of the old Chu to pay the officials, appease the people, and make the land happy, then you can't work for the people and Jiangdong will be subdued. If Taizu did not obey, the army would be unprofitable. ”

Objectively, the reasons for his failure, Zhou Yu has already had a very incisive discussion, first, Ma Chao and Han Sui are still in Guanxi, because they are troubled in the future. The Kwansai Army had always been a threat to Cao Cao; the second is to give up the saddle horse, fight the boat, and compete with Wu Yue, which is not China's director; the third is that it is cold again, and the horse has no grass; Fourth, drive the Chinese scholars to wade between the rivers and lakes, and if they do not learn about water and soil, they will get sick. Fifth, the new people who have received Liu Biao have not yet returned to their hearts.

Tactically, Cao Cao made the mistake of being animalistic. A series of victories completely overwhelmed his too-brilliant mind, and Li Lingzhi became empty-eyed and blindly confident. At both the strategic and tactical levels, Liu Bei, who was once hailed as a hero, and Sun Quan, who was majestic in Jiangdong and had enough soldiers, were extremely contemptuous. So, he began to learn from lions, teasing the prey before eating the prey, anyway, Sun Liu, the two little prey, have become beautiful objects in the mouth, play first and then eat.

Under the guidance of this fatal thought, when completing the homework assigned by the old man in history, Cao made stupid moves and made mistakes again and again, thus paying a heavy price.
