From Zigui down the Yangtze River, hundreds of miles, is the last fortress of Jiangling, Yaoting. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this place is surrounded by heavy mountains, the terrain is dangerous, and because the Yangtze River flows through it, there are many depressions and swamps, and the march is quite difficult.

Zhou Yu had already set up several fortresses here, divided his troops to guard them, and this place was easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it became the best place to block Liu Bei. Maybe they don't know that this place has a lot of marriage with Liu Bei in the dark.

No matter which life the world changes, Liu Bei's army defeated the pavilion and the eastern expedition to Wu became empty, which became a storytelling drama that later generations sighed about. If Liu Bei really won the Yiting Pavilion and returned to Jingzhou in one go, maybe he would really be able to compete with Cao Cao.

Speaking of the three major battles of the Three Kingdoms, they all have an indissoluble bond with fire; The Battle of Guandu led to the fact that the battle situation in Hebei was decided, and Cao Cao unified the Central Plains; The battle of Chibi was a storm and smoke, so that the three-legged momentum is no longer empty talk; And the fire in Yiting directly stabilized the situation of the Three Kingdoms for nearly sixty years.

And this time the abbot of the battle of Qianting is the main general of the Chibi fire, Zhou Yu, who knows what kind of fireworks will break out?

But said that Sun Ce went down the river, and Zhou Yu met in the pavilion, it seems that he already knew that Sun Ce would come, Zhou Yu has prepared the formation map, Sun Ce took a look, Zhou Yu will all the soldiers and horses in the main crossing to guard, although there are not many soldiers and horses in each place, but by the topography of the pavilion, they can be interlocked, each other, not afraid of being broken by Liu Bei one by one.

However, because it was in the hot summer, these key crossings lacked vegetation to cover them, so they were completely exposed to the sun, which was quite painful, on the other hand, Liu Bei's attacking side, the water and grass were abundant, the swamp was sufficient, and in addition to the difficulty of marching, it simply became a resort, which made Sun Cejun's soldiers feel dissatisfied.

"Our army is guarding the key entrance, and it should be waiting for work, why did it make Liu Bei feel comfortable?"

"That is, although he Liu Bei has a lot of troops, we are not vegetarians! All stationed in the shade, and when Liu Bei comes, fight him to the death, why not? ”

The hot summer was enough to make the soldiers lose their minds, so the crowd was excited, and at the instigation of a lieutenant, there were people who wanted to ask Zhou Yu and Sun Ce for help, hoping to move the camp three miles north to block the sun.

At first, Zhou Yu thought that some soldiers were dissatisfied, so he also persuaded him, but in the back, more and more soldiers asked for help, which was not good. You must know that it is a taboo for soldiers to shake their morale, not to mention that Liu Bei has not yet arrived, and his own army is in chaos first, how can this be?

So Zhou Yu beheaded the most fierce commanders and even chiefs, and showed them to the public, but this action made the army angry and rebelled. Seeing that the enemy army had not yet arrived, his own army killed nearly 100 soldiers for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, but there was no deterrent effect.

It is impossible for Zhou Yu to let these soldiers find a place to cool off by themselves, although Liu Bei has not arrived yet, but this is negligent and lazy, if the army is led by the nose by the soldiers, it will not be good.

Finally, Zhou Yu came up with a plan, ordering the soldiers to dig the mouth of the Yangtze River and divide a tributary to irrigate the camps, so that although it is not as cool as the forest, but with the cooling of the flowing river, the soldiers have much less complaints.

After guarding the hot intersection for several days, Liu Bei finally led the army to Yaoting. However, Liu Bei saw that the terrain was dangerous and knew that the attack was difficult, so he first ordered the soldiers to be stationed on the flat ground, and then sent people to investigate and get Sun Ce's exact deployment of the army.

And after getting Sun Ce's deployment of the army, it was Liu Bei's turn to be big, he had been in Jingzhou before, and when he entered Shu, he passed through the Qianting Pavilion and surveyed the local terrain, but Sun Ce now directly holds all the key crossings in his palm, coupled with the dangerous roads that extend in all directions, a small number of soldiers can rely on each other, and it is very difficult to attack.

So Liu Bei sent the former army to Sun Ce to challenge, but was shot back by Sun Ce's random arrows, and Liu Bei realized that this calf wanted to fight a protracted war with him. However, he forgot that Sun Ce was deep behind enemy lines, where was he qualified to fight a protracted war with him? Liu Bei's detection of the enemy's military strategy was completely wrong from the beginning.

Jingnan has not yet received news, but Liu Bei couldn't attack Sun Ce, he was quite anxious for a while, and the weather was hot, Liu Bei cherished the soldiers, so he led the soldiers to the dense forest to camp to avoid the heat.

When Pang Tong was in the formation with the army, he saw Liu Bei arranging the formation like this, and hurriedly dissuaded: "How can the lord garrison the dense forest because the soldiers are afraid of heat?" This is a taboo for soldiers! If the enemy uses fire to attack, coupled with the narrow terrain of the pavilion, our army will be defeated! ”

After listening to Pang Tong's advice, Liu Bei suddenly realized, but he suddenly had a plan, ordered the army to build a large village in the forest, and only stationed 3,000 soldiers and horses in it, thinking that it was a suspicious soldier, and let them alternately guard each camp every day, disguised as a large army stationed, and lured Sun Ce to attack.

This trick seems to be really effective, originally Sun Ce and Zhou Yu expected Liu Bei to be stationed in the forest and attack it with fire, Sun Ce saw that Liu Bei was really "in the plan", he was ecstatic, and wanted to raise troops to attack, but fortunately was stopped by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is not stupid, how could Liu Bei follow their train of thought so easily? Besides, Liu Bei still has Pang Tong in the army, who is a genius known for his name as a phoenix, how could he make such a low-level mistake?

After thinking about it carefully, everything was clear, Liu Bei knew their plans, and deliberately set up suspicious soldiers to lure them to attack; If their rear is stable, then Zhou Yu can be consumed with him. However, as mentioned before, Sun Ce and they can't afford it, because Jiangling's logistics can't take care of it now, and they urgently need to defeat Liu Bei in one go, and then take advantage of the situation to take Jingnan.

This is a contest between wisdom and wisdom, and the two sides seem to be only one step away from falling into each other's snare.

Zhou Yu saw that Liu Bei had set up suspicious soldiers, and he would inevitably set up an ambush in the canyon and dense forest......

So Zhou Yu ordered Cheng Pu and Han Dang to lead a thousand people who are good at water in Jiangdong, from the Yangtze River Shuojiang River up, sneaked into Liu Bei's rear, and strictly ordered each village to guard the key passes, Hugh to move troops, violators beheaded, but secretly sent cronies to pretend to be soldiers, to Liu Bei's camp to tell about the fire attack, Liu Bei really did not doubt, the cronies said which pass was dissatisfied with Zhou Yu, intended to surrender, Liu Bei sent a messenger to persuade, that person is Lu Su, after getting the news of Zhou Yu, he pretended to surrender, and agreed to three more fires, and Liu Bei attacked Zhou Yu together.

Liu Bei didn't know this person named Lu Su, and Lu Su was an all-round man in civil and military affairs, and he used his amazing tongue to believe what Liu Bei's messenger said, and when he came back, he exaggerated, saying that Zhou Yu tortured and killed the soldiers, and everyone was in danger, Liu Bei really didn't doubt it, and he couldn't even listen to Pang Tong's advice, thinking that Sun Ce would be defeated.

It was the third watch of the night, Zhou Yu and others sneaked out according to the previous layout, and launched rockets into Liu Bei's camp, Liu Bei in the forest thought that Zhou Yu was in a plan, and before Zhou Yu led the troops into the camp, he rode his horse and flew out, revealing his whereabouts, and he didn't know that he had already fallen into Zhou Yu's plan.

The jungle in Yiting was dense, and Zhou Yu only didn't know where Liu Bei was, but he knew that Zhou Yu would attack with fire but was still ambushed in the jungle, and he didn't know if his head was short-circuited. This time, Lu Su surrendered and Zhou Yu attacked the suspicious soldiers, but Liu Bei's position was exposed, so Zhou Yu ordered the soldiers to release arrows and kill the dense forest, but the Jiangdong soldiers and horses who were deep in flames had already jumped into the river to hide. Liu Bei thought that fire prevention in the dense forest would only burn him and Sun Ce's jade, but he forgot about the stubble of Jiangdong soldiers' good water!

Liu Bei followed Sun Cejun's example, and ordered the good water to jump into the Yangtze River to avoid the fire, and the rest of the people fought and retreated, but they did not know that the upper reaches of the Yangtze River had been occupied by Cheng Pu and Han Dang, and Liu Bei's soldiers who jumped into the Yangtze River were beheaded one after another, and Sun Cejun's fortresses and horses were also taking advantage of the situation to attack, Liu Bei was frightened by the fire, and it was difficult to launch an effective defensive posture, leaving only a few soldiers and horses to retreat in the direction of Zigui.

Sun Ce only ordered the army to sweep Liu Bei's soldiers and horses on the battlefield, not to let the pursuit, if there is a surrenderer, not to kill it, so Sun Ce has Liu Bei surrender more than 3,000 troops, alleviating the embarrassing scene of insufficient soldiers.

In this battle, Liu Bei injured nearly 10,000 horses, although there was no loss of good generals and strategists, but it was also a great injury to his vitality, and it was difficult to advance eastward for a while.

Zhou Yu risked his life in the Battle of Yaoting, maybe he didn't know how to succeed or fail this time, but he took advantage of Liu Bei's careless mentality to get the final victory. Now that there are no worries on the western front of Jiangling, Liu Bei has no time to take care of the battlefield on the eastern front for the time being, so Jingnan has become Sun Ce's hand!

Just when Sun Ce thought that Jing Yang could rely on each other, a piece of news that he never expected suddenly came-

Gangneung was lost.
