The battle of Shiting in history is actually not complicated, the main reason why Cao Wei will lose is Cao Xiu, the commander at that time, after all, the large-scale military mobilization in the later period of Eastern Wu is not easy to hide from the past, and other people in Cao Wei also foresee this matter, mainly because Cao Xiu did not listen to the advice, attacked rashly, and finally affected the three armies.

Later, although Cao Xiu did not suffer actual punishment for this incident, he, like Cao Ren, could not pass this level in his heart, and died of illness soon after.

【Jia Kui comes to help】

After Cao Xiu went to war, including Jiang Ji, Jia Kui, Man Chong, Sun Li and many others, they were advised that Jia Kui was originally at odds with Cao Xiu, but after Cao Xiu's accident, he actively came to help, but was blamed by Cao Xiu afterwards.

Originally, after Cao Xiu sent troops from Shouchun, Emperor Wei Ming sent four armies, including Jia Kui to supervise the former general Manzhong and Dongguan Taishou Hu Zhen, to attack Dongguan directly from Xiyang, and Sima Yi to lead the troops to attack Jiangling.

However, at that time, Jiang Ji thought that Cao Xiu would go deep into Eastern Wu this time and confront the elite soldiers of Eastern Wu, and that Zhu Ran, a Wu general stationed upstream, would attack from behind, so he suggested not to send troops; But Cao Xiu continued to move on. Later, the Wu army frequently appeared in the Anlu area, and Jiang Ji saw that although the Wu army was in the west, it actually had the tendency to move east to encircle and annihilate Cao Xiu, and suggested that reinforcements be sent to rescue Cao Xiu. Cao Rong then ordered Yuzhou Assassin Shi Jia Kui to lead his troops eastward to join forces with Cao Xiu, and Zhao Sima Yi stopped advancing.

After Cao Xiu sent troops, Man Zhong was also sent to Xiakou. Man Chongshang said: "Although Cao Xiu is smart and resolute, he rarely uses soldiers and lacks practical experience. Today's route, with the lake behind and the Yangtze River next to it, is easy to move forward, but difficult to retreat. This kind of road is the most taboo for soldiers! If you enter a non-strong opening, you should be well prepared. "The favored Shangshu was not delivered, and Cao Xiu went deep into Wuqiangkou. The enemy soldiers really cut off the way to Jiashi at Wuqiangkou and blocked Cao Xiu's retreat. Cao Xiu retreated while fighting, just as Zhu Ling and others intercepted the enemy soldiers from behind, and met the enemy, the enemy fled in terror, and Cao Xiu survived.

At that time, Sun Li led the army with the great Sima Cao Xiu to attack Eastern Wu, when the army went to the area of Jiashi, he advised Cao Xiu not to go deep into the important land, but Cao Xiu did not listen to the advice and insisted on marching, resulting in defeat.

Jia Kui expected that Dongwu was defenseless in Dongguan, and he must have concentrated his army in Anhui City, and Cao Xiu's lone army would undoubtedly be defeated if he went deeper. Therefore, the generals were deployed and advanced by land and water. After traveling more than 200 miles, he caught a Dongwu soldier, and after interrogation, he learned that Cao Xiu's army had indeed been defeated.

Jia Kuijun had already heard that Cao Xiu's army was defeated, and Sun Quan was sending troops to cut off the stone. Most of the soldiers under his command did not dare to make up their minds to go to the rescue, and some said that they should not go deeper into danger, and it was better to wait for the reinforcements to arrive. Jia Kui said: "The Great Sima soldiers are defeated outside, the road is cut off inside, they can't fight when they advance, they can't return when they retreat, and they are in danger." Soochow knew that there was no army behind him, so he dared to boldly catch up. Now we are advancing rapidly, rushing to Jiashi unexpectedly, and suddenly hitting it, this is the so-called ancestors to win their hearts, and Soochow will inevitably retreat when he sees our army. If you wait for the arrival of reinforcements, Soochow will already cut off all the dangerous roads, and then what is the use of more soldiers and horses? ”

So, he commanded the army to prepare for the road. When he arrived near Jiashi, he ordered his soldiers to erect a lot of flags on the main road of the mountain pass, and left a few soldiers to beat drums constantly as suspicious soldiers, and then personally led a large group of men and horses to meet the Wu army. Wu Jun thought that the Wei rescue army had arrived, so he quickly withdrew from the battlefield. After Jia Kui occupied Jiashi, he took out food and military supplies to supply Cao Xiu's army, so that Cao Xiu could reorganize his ranks and retreat to Yangzhou.

【Jia Cao's grievances】

In history, although Jia Kui saved Cao Xiu's life this time, Cao Xiu actually didn't appreciate it.

According to the record of "Wei Luo", after Cao Xiu was rescued, he complained that Jia Kui was too late to rescue, so he scolded Jia Kui on the spot, and ordered Yuzhou Assassin Shi Jia Kui to help him pick up and abandon the battle in the name of Da Sima. Jia Kui thought that he had no shame in his heart, so he said to Cao Xiu: "I was originally serving as the assassin of Yuzhou for the country, not here to pick up and abandon the battle for the great Sima." "He led the army back alone. Later, Jia Kui and Cao Xiu impeached each other, and although Emperor Wei Ming knew that Jia Kui was upright, he still had to rely on Cao Xiu, who was an important minister of the clan, so he judged that neither of them was at fault.

Earlier, Cao Xiu relied on the fact that he was a member of the imperial court and had always looked down on Jia Kui. Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi once wanted to grant Jia Kui the Fu Festival, but Cao Xiu made a hindrance and said: "Jia Kui has a strong temperament and has always despised the generals. Cao Pi then dispelled the idea of reusing Jia Kui.

However, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, Cao Xiu repaid his kindness with grievances, and Jia Kui complained with his kindness, which was praised by the contemporaries. According to the "Book of Wei", Hugh still coerced the previous intention, and wanted to use the later sins, but he was speechless, and the people of the time benefited from it.

【Zhu Heng's Strategy】

In the Battle of Shiting, Wu General Zhu Heng once proposed that he lead 10,000 soldiers to cut off Cao Xiu's back road, but because the relationship between Lu Xun and others was not adopted, I personally think that Zhu Heng's suggestion still has a lot of merit.

In the Battle of Shiting, although Sun Wu won a great victory, in fact, the blow to Cao Wei was not heavy, although the Wei army lost a lot of supplies and equipment, but most of the soldiers escaped.

In terms of military strength, the Wu army led by Lu Xun has 90,000 people, and the Cao army has 100,000 people, even if Lu Xun allocates 10,000 people to Zhu Heng, the impact will not be very great, but if these 10,000 people really succeed in blocking the back road of the Cao army, then it is possible to wipe out the Cao army, and the results will be expanded many times, once all these 100,000 are eliminated, it will be a very serious loss for Cao Wei.

Unfortunately, Sun Quan and Lu Xun may have failed to adopt their advice for insurance reasons.

【Cao Xiu's Death】

After the Battle of Shiting, Cao Xiu wrote a letter of apology, and Emperor Wei Ming sent Yang Ji, the captain of the Tun Cavalry, to comfort him, and the etiquette reward was more grand. Cao Xiu was ashamed and ruthless, so he had a carbuncle on his back, and soon he was called Zhuanghou. Son Cao Zhao succeeded to the heir.

Compared with other generals with foreign surnames, Cao Wei really gave too much preferential treatment to the generals of his family, such as Xu Huang and Zhang Liao, these famous generals and marshals, with many merits, and in the end it was a three-grade general position, Zhang Liao was even unlucky to be demoted directly in the Cao Pi period for no reason, from the general of Zhengdong to the former general.

For Cao Wei's relatives, it is a great reward for meritorious service, and there has been an exemption from punishment, like Xiahoudun basically has no record of success, and he became a general by virtue of his qualifications, and Cao Ren and Cao Xiu were not punished after the defeat, Cao Ren was in the third year of the Huang Dynasty (222) to the fourth year of the Huang Dynasty (223) when the Southern Expedition to Sun Quan, as the commander of the crusade against the beard, nepotism, did not listen to advice, resulting in the loss of the army, and there was no punishment for demotion after the defeat, and he died of guilt.

Cao Xiu's ending in history is basically the same as Cao Ren's, and the irony is that the official positions of both at that time were the positions of Da Sima, which means that both were the supreme commanders of Cao Wei's army at that time.
