In May 213 AD, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty named Cao Cao as the Duke of Wei and added nine tins. At the same time www.biquge.info Liu Bei's bullying of the honest man Liu Zhang was not so smooth, and in July of the same year, Pang Tong died in Luofengpo.

There are two superstitious theories about Pang Tong's death: one is that Pang Tong's name Feng Xiao was restrained by the place name, and the other is that before the war, Liu Bei saw that Pang Tong's horse was old and thin, so he gave his horse to Pang Tong.

Liu Bei's horse is the so-called "Lu", which is said to be a hindrance to the master, but Liu Bei himself has a big life, and nothing has happened to him all the time, and he even saved Liu Bei's life, so he may not necessarily take revenge on Pang Tong because of the unhappiness at the last banquet.

And the age of the horse is shorter than that of a person, so a war horse generally cannot accompany an owner for a lifetime, so this "Lu" feels a bit far-fetched. In addition, the Red Rabbit Horse is even more outrageous, almost accompanying Lu Bu and Guan Yu during their main active period, and finally died of hunger strike for Guan Yu.

Before Liu Bei only led troops into Shu by himself and Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei all stayed in Jingzhou, and Zhao Yun was the backup. After Pang Tong's death, there were no well-known figures in Liu Bei's army in Shu except himself, which once again proved that Liu Bei was actually very capable of fighting.

In 214 AD, Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun to lead an army into Shu and join his own division, and besieged Chengdu with all his might, leaving only Guan Yu to guard Jingzhou.

Just at this time, Ma Chao also came to take refuge in Liu Bei, Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and so many famous generals surrounded Chengdu, Liu Zhang obviously couldn't hold it. So Liu Bei sent someone to persuade Liu Zhang to surrender, and Liu Zhang couldn't bear the suffering of the people of Shu County, so he opened the door and surrendered.

In this way, Liu Zhang surrendered to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei led Yizhou Mu himself.

When Liu Bei first attacked, someone suggested that Liu Zhang should burn all the grain, including the crops that had not yet matured in the field, so that Liu Bei's army would have some difficulty in supplying. Liu Zhang did not accept it, he said: "I have only heard that as a magistrate, you should protect the territory and the people, but I have never heard that in order to fight a war, you have to let the common people bear this kind of thing." ”

In this way, it seems that Liu Zhang is still a good person, but unfortunately sometimes a good person is not a safe life, but a good person is bullied by others, and a horse is good at being ridden. Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei back then, but was robbed by Lu Bu, and now Liu Bei has robbed Liu Zhang's Yizhou, I don't know if it is appropriate to say that he is smart or that he is suitable for learning.

In fact, it took Liu Bei about three years to capture Yizhou, during which he didn't make much trouble thanks to Cao Cao and Sun Quan, and sometimes even helped a lot.

In May 214, Sun Quan attacked Wancheng and in July he attacked Hefei, only to be defeated by Zhang Liao. In October of the same year, Emperor Xian, Empress Fu and Guozhang Fu Wan conspired to get rid of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao killed everyone.

In fact, Cao Cao did not kill Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and soon after, he also made his daughter the empress of Emperor Xian.

At this time, Liu Bei won Yizhou and most of Jingzhou, and concurrently served as the state pastor of the two states, and his strength grew a lot. However, he borrowed Jingzhou from Sun Quan, and the specific situation is a bit complicated.

Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei had now won Yizhou, so he naturally wanted to bring Jingzhou back, and the meat that Liu Bei had already eaten in his mouth would not be spit out so easily, but the two parties could not get along, and the situation in Jingzhou began to be tense.

Sun Quan ordered Lü Meng to lead 20,000 troops into the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang and Lingling, and Lu Su led 10,000 troops to enter Baqiu and set up a battle with Guan Yu.

At this time, Liu Bei, who was in Yizhou, heard the news and knew that the situation was not good, so he personally led 50,000 elite soldiers from Yizhou to return to Gong~An (place name), and then ordered Guan Yu to lead 30,000 troops to march into Yiyang.

Before the war, there was a meeting between the two sides, but neither of the top people came forward, it was Lu Su and Guan Yu who met to negotiate, which is the famous "single knife meeting" in history.

In fact, both sides of this meeting went to the meeting alone, and Lu Su is not only a far-sighted politician, but also a man who makes a move when he should act, not just a good man and a peacemaker.

After some negotiations, the two parted unhappily, and then each returned to the camp to prepare for the fight. At this time, news came from the west that Cao Cao had beaten Zhang Lu. Delong Wangshu, Hanzhong occupied by Zhang Lu is the gateway to the north of Shu County, Liu Bei feels that his rear is threatened, in this case, of course he can't fight with Sun Quan anymore.

Sun Quan didn't want to turn his face with Liu Bei at this time, so the two sides agreed to divide Jingzhou with Xiangshui as the boundary. Jiangxia County, Changsha County and Guiyang County to the east of Xiangshui belonged to Sun Quan, and Nan County, Lingling County and Wuling County to the west of Xiangshui belonged to Liu Bei. In other words, Liu Bei took out Changsha and Guiyang counties from the four counties of Jingnan to Sun Quan, in exchange for the temporary peace of the two families.

In July 215, Cao Cao conquered Zhang Lu, and in November, Zhang Lu surrendered to Cao Cao. The Battle of Xiaoyaojin. Cao Cao defeated Sun Quan at Misu.

In 216 AD, Cao Cao was proclaimed King of Wei, and soon after, legend has it that the immortal Zuo Ci appeared in the palace of the King of Wei.

In February 217, Cao Cao attacked the mouth of the Xukou, and Sun Quan was defeated. In October, Cao Pi was made the crown prince of Wei. In December, Lu Su died of illness.

After Cao Ang gave his horse to his father in the Battle of Wancheng and was killed in battle, Cao Cao's original wife, Lady Ding, left her husband in a fit of rage. Cao Ang was originally the most likely to inherit Cao Cao's position, but this time it was vacant, and Mrs. Bian was promoted to the main wife, and Mrs. Bian's three children, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi, had a great chance.

Cao Zhangxiao was brave and good at fighting, and he was the first to be ruled out by Cao Cao from inheriting his title, which evolved into a dispute between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi for succession.

Cao Zhi is known as a high eight buckets, which means that if there are ten buckets in the world, Cao Zhi alone accounts for eight buckets, and the remaining two buckets are divided equally among the remaining literati.

Cao Pi is both civil and military, although he may not be as literary as Cao Zhi when he writes articles, and he is not as good as Cao Zhang's ability to fight, but he has very high attainments in both aspects.

Cao Cao finally chose Cao Pi as his heir, but unfortunately Cao Pi's life was short, which indirectly led to Cao Wei being replaced by the Sima family. In addition, Cao Cao also has a very favorite child Cao Chong, who is called the elephant, but Cao Chong died early and lost the opportunity to succeed to the throne.

218 AD: Cao Zhang defeated the Wuhuan army, the Xianbei tribe surrendered, and the north was pacified.

At this time, Liu Bei sent an army to fight for Hanzhong, Zhuge Liang stayed in Chengdu, and Fa Zheng accompanied him as a military advisor. Fa Zheng turned out to be a strategist under Liu Zhang, but he had already set his heart on Liu Bei. Liu Bei used Pang Tong and Fa Zheng two important strategists in his life, and Liu Bei did not win any battles after Fa Zheng's death.

At first, Liu Bei's attack on Hanzhong was not smooth, so he wrote a letter asking Zhuge Liang to quickly increase his troops. Coordinating the management and coordination of military and political affairs is Zhuge Liang's strength, and he has very well completed the task of increasing troops to the front, so that Liu Bei has the advantage, and by the time Cao Cao arrives for reinforcements, the situation is irreparable.

After Cao Cao issued the famous command of "chicken ribs", the whole army retreated.
