Lu Xun ordered each soldier to hold a handful of lit thatch and go to burn the Shu army camp. After the Shu army was in chaos, the army attacked. This is the third classic battle in the history of the Three Kingdoms - the Battle of Wushu Yiling! In this battle, the Shu army was defeated, Zhang Nan, Feng Xi, Hu Wang Shamoke and others were killed, and Du Lu, Liu Ning and others surrendered.

Liu Bei fled to Ma'anshan, but was surrounded by Lu Xun's army on all sides and fought hard. The Shu army collapsed, and tens of thousands of people died. Liu Bei broke through and fled in the night, ordered the soldiers to take off all the armor on their bodies, burned the armor and cut off the road, and then reluctantly fled back to Baidi City, Yufu County, Badong County, and ordered Yufu to be renamed Yong'an. Li Yi, Liu A and others led the Wu army to chase all the way to Nanshan. In this battle, the Shu army's boats, equipment, and water infantry military equipment were completely lost. The corpses crushed down the river. Liu Bei sighed, "I was humiliated by Lu Xun, isn't it Tianye" Xu Sheng, Pan Zhang, Song Qian and other generals expressed their willingness to attack the White Emperor City and capture Liu Bei alive. Lu Xun, Zhu Ran, Luo Tong and others said, "Cao Pi in the north is eyeing the tiger, if our army goes deep into Shu, it will be easy to advance and difficult to retreat." When the Wei army comes to attack, it will be dangerous."

The palace army Fu Wei was captured by Wu Junsheng. Faced with the temptation to surrender, Fu Wei scolded, "Wu dog! I am a general of the Han Dynasty, how can I surrender to you" and was finally killed.

Cheng Ji traced the Yangtze River and slowly organized the retreat. The subordinates persuaded him, "The chasing soldiers are coming, it is advisable to relieve the boat and move quickly", Cheng Ji said, "I have never learned how to escape", and finally died heroically. Ma Liang also died in the battle of Wuji.

Back before the Battle of Yiling, Sun Huan was besieged in Yidao County by the vanguard of the Shu army and asked Lu Xun for help. Sun Huan's father, Sun He, was originally the son of Sun Jian, and he succeeded his aunt Yu. was loved by Sun Ce, and let Sun He revert to his surname Sun. Therefore, Sun Huan is the Sun clan. But Lu Xun just didn't save it. The reason is that "Yidao City is strong and has enough food, and Sun Huan has the hearts of the people, and there is no problem in sticking to it." As long as I can defeat Liu Bei, the siege will naturally be lifted there" So Sun Huan's siege was besieged for more than half a year. Afterwards, he said to Lu Xun, "I really resented you for not coming to the rescue at the beginning. But today I found out that you are really well organized."

This year, the 40-year-old Lu Xun was suddenly promoted to the governor of the capital by Sun Quan, but most of the generals under him were old generals from the Sun Jian and Sun Ce eras, or nobles in the office, and no one would take this 'white-faced scholar' in their eyes. In order to shock the scene, Lu Xun specially invited the sword given by Sun Quan out, and said, "Liu Bei is well-known in the world, even Cao Cao is afraid of him." This is a formidable enemy! And the reason why the lord entrusted me with such a heavy responsibility was that I could endure humiliation and bear the burden against Liu Bei. Now I want to say the ugly words in front: military law is ruthless, if there is a violator, immediately beheaded" This made the generals reluctantly obey the order. Of course, in the end, the battle of Yiling broke Liu Bei, and the generals were convinced at this time. Later, when Sun Quan learned about this, he asked Lu Xun, "Why didn't you report the names of these generals who did not obey your orders to me?" Lu Xun replied, "All the generals are people who have contributed to the country." The minister is willing to learn from Lin Xiangru, Kou Sui, first public and then private" Sun Quan laughed. Feng Lu Xun was the general of the auxiliary state, the pastor of Jingzhou, and the marquis of Jiangling.

The news of the Battle of Yiling reached CD and Xuchang respectively. Zhuge Liang sighed: "If Fazheng does not die, he will be able to persuade the lord not to go to the east." Even if the Eastern Crusade were to be made, there would not have been such a fiasco."

Cao Pi said to his ministers with a smile after knowing that Liu Bei's company camp was more than 700 miles, "Liu Bei really doesn't know soldiers, how have you heard that the company camp of 700 miles can resist the enemy?" This is a taboo in the military. You wait and see: Sun Quan's victory table is about to arrive" Sure enough, seven days later, Sun Quan's letter was delivered to Xuchang.

In July, there was a locust plague in Jizhou, and the people were famine. Shangshu Du Yi was edicted to hold the festival and opened a warehouse to help the people.

Huang Quan, who was arranged by Liu Bei to guard against Cao Wei in Jiangbei because of his advice, had been cut off from the road back to CD, and in desperation, in August, he had to lead the people to surrender to Cao Wei. Cao Pi also treated him very well, and was named the general of Zhennan and the Marquis of Yuyang. Liu Bei rejected his subordinates' suggestion to take Huang Quan's wife and children into custody, and said a sentence "It was I who lost Huang Quan, and Huang Quan did not lose me", but rumors have spread, saying that Liu Bei killed Huang Quan's wife and children, and Cao Pi was ready to let Huang Quan go to mourn. Huang Quan said, "The minister, Liu Bei, and Zhuge Liang are all sincere to each other, and they will definitely not embarrass the minister's wife and children." It's just a rumor."

On September 3, Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi issued an edict that "women interfere in politics, and chaos is also the foundation." In the future, it is forbidden for the ministers to play the queen mother. The family of the descendants shall not be an auxiliary government, and shall not be knighted by Maoshi. This edict will be passed on to future generations, if there is a violation, the world will punish it" Every time the Empress Dowager Bian summons her mother's family, she has never pretended to be "If someone in my family breaks the law, I will add them to the crime." Don't expect any money to be borrowed," so the Cao Wei regime lost the support of the two major forces, the imperial family and foreign relatives, and there were no capable eunuchs. In the end, the power fell into the hands of the scholar class represented by the Sima clan, which is logical.

On the 9th, Cao Pi ignored the strong opposition of Zhan Qian and others, and insisted on making his favorite woman and concubine Queen Guo the queen. Give each man in the world a second-class title, widowhood and loneliness and other socially disadvantaged groups.

When Sun Quan was a vassal to Cao Pi, he returned it to Ban and his two subordinates, Hao Zhou and Dong Ligon. Cao Pi asked the two "Is Sun Quan credible?" Hao Zhou said that Sun Quan was sincerely surrendered, and Dongligon said that Sun Quan was not sincerely surrendered. Cao Pi believed Hao Zhou's words, made Sun Quan the king of Wu, and ordered Hao Zhou to send an envoy. When Hao Zhou saw Sun Quan, he said, "Your Majesty didn't believe that the king would send his son to serve, but I guaranteed it in front of Your Majesty with the lives of my whole family." Sun Quan immediately wept and swore that he would definitely send Sun Deng to Luoyang.

But in the end, Hao Zhou still returned alone, and Sun Quan shirked Sun Deng to go north for various reasons. Cao Pi sent Xin Bi and Huan Jie, two people to swear an oath with Sun Quan, and asked Sun Deng to go north. Sun Quan is still in disobedience. Cao Pi was finally furious, did not listen to the advice of Liu Ye, Jia Xu and others, and decided to kill Wu.

Before the expedition, Cao Pi once asked Jia Xu, "I want to crusade against rebellion and dominate the world." Wu and Shu, which one should be the first to crusade "Jia Xu replied" The attacker is the first to have military power, and the one who builds the capital is Shangdehua. If Your Majesty can treat the two countries with virtue and treat them with virtue, it will not be difficult to calm down. Although Wu and Shu are small countries, they are surrounded by mountains and water. Liu Bei is also eloquent and Zhuge Liang is good at governing the country; Sun Quan knew the reality and Lu Xun saw the troops. According to the danger, boating in the rivers and lakes is difficult to overcome. The minister believed that among the ministers, no one was the opponent of Liu Bei and Sun Quan. Even if His Majesty comes to it, I am afraid it is not perfect. In the past, Shun Dance was convincing to the Miao tribe. The minister thinks: Now we should put literature before martial arts."

In September, the Wei army was divided into three routes: Cao Xiu, Zhang Liao, and Zang Ba went out of the cave; Cao Ren out of the beard; Cao Zhen, Xiahou Shang, Zhang He, Xu Huang enwei Nanjun. Sun Quan also resisted in three ways: Lü Fan supervised the five armies and led the naval army to resist Cao Xiu; Zhu Huan rejected Cao Ren; Zhuge Jin, Pan Zhang, and Yang Cang rescued Nanjun.

On October 3, Cao Pi issued an edict: to build his own Shouyang Mausoleum in Shouyang Shandong. Be thrifty, do not use gold and jade, only use pottery. He also ordered that the edict be stored in the Jongmyo Temple, and the copies were handed over to the Shangshu, the secretary, and the Sanfu for safekeeping.

Because of the undecided rebellion of Yangyue's barbarians, Sun Quan, who was eager to deal with internal problems, faced the pressure of Cao Wei's troops, and once again chose to humble his resignation and write a letter to seek peace: "If the crime is not forgiven, I will return the land and people to the imperial court, and I will go to Jiaozhou to spend the rest of my life" and wrote to Hao Zhou: "I want to propose to my son Sun Deng to the Xiahou clan." However, Sun Deng is still too young, and I am preparing to let Sun Changxu and Zhang Zhao accompany him to the north. So the time may be a little later. Probably the end of the year, December can leave," Cao Pi learned about it, and said, "Sun Deng will arrive in the morning, and I will recall all the Wei troops in the evening."

But Sun Quan finally chose not to hand over Sun Deng, and fought Cao Pi to the end. In October, Wu Wang Sun Quan changed his name to Huang Wu (this era name is obviously Cao Pi's 'Huang Chu' + Liu Bei's 'Zhang Wu'), officially self-reliant, and Linjiang refused.

And Cao Pi could only choose to march south, and first issued an edict to change the name of Yingzhou back to Jingzhou. On November 11, Cao Pi arrived in Wan County, Nanyang County. Cao Xiu, who was at the entrance of the cave, sent an envoy to Chen, saying that he was willing to immediately lead his troops across the river and set foot on the south of the Yangtze River. Cao Pi felt that it was inappropriate and hurriedly stopped it. Dong Zhao said: "Your Majesty don't worry. Cao Xiu was not the only one in the Eastern Route Army, Zang Ba and they might not be willing to listen to Cao Xiu, so they crossed the river together" However, the plan is not as fast as the change. A storm blew Lu Fan's army to pieces, drowning thousands. Of course, this kind of opportunity could not be missed, and Cao Pi immediately urged the troops to cross the river. Zang Ba led 500 light boats and 10,000 death squads to attack Xuling, killing and plundering thousands of people. However, Quan Cong, Xu Sheng and other Wu army rescuers also reacted in time, drove the Wei army back to Jiangbei, and killed the Wei general Yin Lu in the pursuit battle, killing hundreds.

In December, Sun Quan sent Zheng Quan to the White Emperor City to meet Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also sent Zong Wei to meet Sun Quan. Relations between the two countries have been restored.

In December, Huang Yuan, the Taishou of Hanjia, heard that Liu Bei was seriously ill, so he immediately raised troops to stand on his own.

Guan Yu died in 219, Huang Zhong died in 220, Zhang Fei died in 221, and Ma Chao died in this year (222), and the so-called "Five Tiger Generals" of Shu Han died one a year in four consecutive years, leaving only the dying Zhao Yun alone. The withering of talent was the most fatal weakness of the Shu Han regime.

Wu General Sun Sheng led 10,000 people to occupy Jiangling Zhongzhou, thinking that Nanjun was foreign aid. In January 223, Cao Zhen ordered Zhang He to defeat Wu Bing and seize Jiangling Zhongzhou.

In January, Sun Quan ordered the abolition of the four-minute calendar used by Wei and Shu and replaced it with the Qianxiang calendar.

In January, Cao Pi issued an edict: Since the funeral, the military revolution has not stopped, and people all over the world have killed each other. Now it is decided at home that those who dare to have private revenge are all clans.

In February, Zhuge Liang came to Yong'an from CD, ready to accept Liu Bei's deathbed at any time.

In February, Cao Ren led tens of thousands of cavalry to attack the wet beard, using the method of attacking the east and the west, first threatening to attack Xianxi in the east, and after Zhu Huan divided his troops to defend, Cao Ren quickly marched into the army. Zhu Huan hurriedly went to chase back the soldiers of Xianxi. It's a pity that Cao Ren's army has already taken the first step to kill, and at this time Zhu Huan's subordinates are only 5,000 people. Zhu Huan first boosted morale, and then died down and arranged to lure the enemy.

Cao Ren ordered his son Cao Tai to attack the city of Susu, and Chang Diao and Wang Shuang led 5,000 troops to attack Zhongzhou, where the family of Zhu Huan's troops was located, by oil tanker. Cao Ren himself led 10,000 troops to stay in Lugao as backup. Zhu Huan also immediately made defensive arrangements: sent Yan Gui to lead his troops to Zhongzhou and fight against Cao Tai himself. After Cao Tai's battalion retreated, Zhu Huan hurried to Zhongzhou, beheaded Chang Diao, captured Wang Shuang alive, and drowned more than 1,000 people in the Wei army.

The three-way Wei army now has only one way left for Cao Zhen to besiege Jiangling. After Zhang He defeated Sun Sheng and Xiahou Shang and repelled Zhuge Jin, Jiangling City was besieged. Cut off from inside and outside, many soldiers in the city were swollen and sick, and there were only 5,000 people who could fight. Now we can only look at the ability of the generals who defend the city of Gangneung.

Jiangling guards the city of Wu's name is Zhu Ran, and he is the nephew of Jiuzhen Taishou Zhu Zhi. His surname was Shi, and he was later adopted by his uncle Zhu Zhi. When Lü Meng was seriously ill, Sun Quan once asked Lü Meng who could succeed him? Lu Meng did not recommend Lu Xun, but Zhu Ran. After Lü Meng died, Sun Quan ordered Zhu Ran to take a break and guard Jiangling. This also shows Zhu Ran's status.

Now Cao Zhen is outside the city to raise the mountain, dig tunnels, erect buildings and oars to the city, arrows rain down, and the soldiers of the Wu army are all discolored. Zhu Ran looked calm. And seized the opportunity to attack at the right time to break through the Wei army's two tuns. The Wei soldiers besieged Jiangling City for six months, during which Yao Tai, the commander of Jiangling County, who defended the north gate, wanted to open the city and surrender, but Zhu Ran discovered it first and ordered him to be beheaded.

The Wei army failed to make another plan, and Xiahou still saw that the river was shallow and narrow, so he thought about stationing his troops in Jiangzhu and building a pontoon bridge. Dong Zhao Shangshu "Once the pontoon bridge is destroyed and the river water swells, none of the Wei soldiers in Jiangzhu will be able to come back" Cao Pi immediately ordered Xiahou Shang to withdraw his troops. And Pan Zhang led the Wu army to set up a raft and rushed to burn the pontoon bridge, but it stopped because Xiahou Shang had withdrawn his troops. At the same time, a few days later, the river really rose sharply, and everything was expected by Dong Zhao.

In this way, the three-way Wei army attacked Wu, and none of them could achieve a great victory. With the arrival of the epidemic in March, Cao Pi could only choose to withdraw his troops.

On March 8, Cao Pi returned to Luoyang.

On the 19th, the great Sima Cao Ren died.

In March, Huang Yuan sent troops north to attack Linqiong County, Shu County. At this time, Zhuge Liang had gone to Yong'an to visit Liu Bei, and Huang Yuan felt fearless. Yang Hong suggested to the crown prince Liu Chan: Send Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan to conquer Huang Yuan. At that time, the ministers all thought that if Huang Yuan could not capture the CD, he might go south from Yueshan County and occupy the land in Nanzhong. That's dangerous. Yang Hong disagreed, "Huang Yuan is violent by nature, but it is because he is disliked by the prime minister." I was afraid that His Majesty would be punished by the prime minister if something happened to him, so he rebelled. If he can't capture the CD, he will definitely go down the river to the east. If His Majesty is safe, he will go and ask for forgiveness. Otherwise, they will flee to Soochow in order to survive. How could there be any idea of occupying Nanzhong? We just need to let Chen Cao and Zheng Xuan block the mouth of the gorge in Nan'an County, Qianwei County, and Huang Yuan will be captured" In the end, the fact was as Yang Hong expected, and the defeated Huang Yuan went east along the river. was captured and beheaded by Chen Cao and Zheng Suisheng.
