Chapter 98: Annihilation

"Xiu Yuanwen Jin and both of them died due to the negligence of Beizhi."

It's all up to this, and Liu Bei also understands what he is wrong.

At this time, I also remembered the high-spirited appearance of these two people when they came together, and my heart was even more gloomy.

"The two kings treated me as a national soldier, and I failed to repay him as a national soldier."

"Ma'anshan is a defeat." Guan Yu analyzed: "This Lu Xun set fire to the camp, and after the odd soldiers were cut off, there were at least 40,000 soldiers in the headquarters who could fight. ”

"The men and horses of the brother's headquarters are trapped in the company camp ......"

"Second brother, let's see." Zhang Fei pulled the second brother's sleeve.

Ma Liang wrote Shamoke's name in a complicated mood, and this barbarian king died here?

["Prepare for Ma'anshan, Chen Bing by"

Ma'anshan is a special place, located in the west of the Yiling battlefield, there is a small road here to go north to Zigui, which is the closest retreat from Liu Bei on the battlefield at that time.

At the same time, Ma Liang, the unlucky guy, is probably also here, because Ma'anshan is the garrison point of Wuxi Man.

At this point, Shu Han and Sun Wu had a real hard encounter in the Battle of Yiling.

But the helpless thing is that although Liu Bei has the advantage of the terrain, he only has at most 10,000 remnants around him, and the bulk of the troops is in the more than 40 battalions that were broken by Lu Xun.

Although Lu Xun was attacking the fortifications, his 50,000 troops were unscathed and he was eager to fight, after all, it was best to fight with the wind.

And everyone knows that the leader of Shu Han standing on the top of the mountain doesn't need to be captured alive, as long as he is killed, he will be able to leave his name in history and pay homage to the prime minister! As a result, the soldiers were even more fearless of death.

Under the huge gap in strength and morale, the Shu Han army had only one choice left:

After Fu Wei Chengji died and the battle was broken, he won a trace of life for Liu Bei, although Yiling was defeated, Liu Bei couldn't die here!

In the end, Liu Bei fled back to the White Emperor City alone, and the old soldiers who had been fighting for ten years since Chibi were all wiped out, and a large number of middle and high-level officers were killed or captured, and the losses were complete. 】

It's tragic!

remembered that Fu Wei was just invited to a banquet a few days ago, such a big man cried for Han after getting drunk, and later his son was martyred.

Liu Bei's knuckles were white.

As for the total annihilation, of course he understood what it meant.

The combat strength of the troops is not only based on the soldiers, but also on the military marquis, Sima Bairen, and the long-toothed goalkeepers.

The lost warriors can be re-recruited, but where do the generals who have fought in Jingzhou, Hanzhong, and Yizhou go to find them?

Even if there is money and food to recruit a large number of soldiers, at best, it is just a group of Wu soldiers who are about to be defeated in battle.

"Wu Bing is quite self-contained." Wei Yan said boldly: "I had dealt with Wu Bing when I was in my hometown. ”

"The Jiangdong Imperial Soldiers, only to drive them away, there is no profit and no merit, and the Wu soldiers do not fight to the death."

"Looking at this Ma'anshan, there are heavy profits in the front for one, and the battle in Jingzhou for the second, this battle, guarding the township, dare not serve to die?"

"Wen Chang is right." Guan Yu agreed: "Third brother, although Wu Bing is weak, he should not be underestimated. ”

Zhang Fei responded cautiously.

Guan Yufu glanced at Wei Yan again, and the light curtain didn't say much about his general, only a rebellion of Wei Yan, and later generations also commented that he was the right-hand man of the military advisor.

The elder brother asked him to come here at first Guan Yu was against it, but the elder brother thought that he could become a military advisor, at least he was also a talented person.

Moreover, after 20 years of chaos, the heart is now undecided, and treating it with great kindness may not necessarily lead to disaster in the future.

[Such a battle caused Shu Han to completely collapse, and now looking back, there is a mistake first:

The start of the Battle of Yiling was in July 221, and after the dispatch of troops, Wuxian and Zigui were defeated.

And then...... He didn't leave, and was stationed until the beginning of 222 before starting again.

Sun Wu, who was originally a passive and hasty response to the battle, was able to transfer troops and deploy the formation.

Lu Xun completed the analysis of the battle and the tactical layout, and locked the Shu Han army, which had been resting for half a year before it was late, in Yiling Gorge.

So where did Liu Bei go in these free months? Can't it be like Song Xianggong who plays the teacher of benevolence and righteousness?

Liu Bei's biography mentions: "In the second year of Zhang Wu, he pursued Mrs. Huangsi and was buried in Shu. ”

In the second year of Zhang Wu, that is, in 222, Liu Bei was locked in Yiling in the first half of the year and could not move, and in the second half of the year, Yiling was defeated and it was difficult to get out of Jingzhou.

Therefore, there is speculation that the few months of disappearance may have been used to move the grave of Mrs. Gan, because Mrs. Gan was buried here after her death in Nanjun, and there was no opportunity and time to move the grave after the Yiling Tomb in 222.

Due to the lack of more detailed historical data, this statement can only be regarded as speculation.

But apart from this possibility, it is difficult to explain why there were such big tactical flaws in the early stage of the Battle of Yiling. 】

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head:

"It's just speculation, not true."

"Xu was in Zigui, and the army had an epidemic, so he couldn't do it."

Zhang Fei shook his head:

"Brother, I don't believe it if I were someone else, but ......"

Several other people also bowed their heads quietly, and the lord's love for Mrs. Gan could be seen.

Moreover, Mrs. Gan also kept the lord's backyard in good order, which also made their courtiers worry a lot.

Liu Bei smiled reluctantly and said:

"Doctor Zhang had already diagnosed it a month ago, and the wind evil had entered the body, and he prescribed a few doses of decoction to take it on time, and now he is much better."

That's fine...... Several people also relaxed for the time being.

Kong Ming and Pang Tong glanced at each other, and they were a little worried.

The speculation of the light curtain is a little bizarre, but the lord has humbly accepted advice all his life, but this Yiling is bent on going his own way, which is also bizarre.

There must be a reason for something abnormal, what is the lord planning?

Pang Tongmian was stunned, shook his head and wrote a few words, and handed it to Kong Ming.

[Another tactical mistake was to hold on to Lu Xun in Yiling for half a year.

In the words that are often said nowadays: I'm waiting for the ultimate, what are you waiting for?

Lu Xun withstood the pressure of a bunch of arrogant soldiers under his hands, and he had to write a letter to Sun Quan every two months to appease him.

is to wait for Shu Han's morale to slip and the weather to change, so as to wait for Liu Bei's mistake.

Fortunately, in the end, Lu Xun waited, Liu Bei handed over the power of Jiang to others, and Lu Xun had a target and hit it with one blow.

If Liu Bei does not have this mistake, maybe Lu Xun will not be able to withstand the pressure of his generals and be forced to send troops in the future, and the battle of Yiling may have a chance to win.

But we also all know that history often has no ifs, if there really is, the second master of the battle of Xiangfan went directly north to cut Cao Cao, and it took so much trouble? 】

Liu Bei couldn't help but ask:

"Second brother, Xiangfan is in this game, if Sun Hou comes back to Hefei as an echo, can he come to Xu Du?"

Guan Yu shook his head and shattered Liu Bei's illusions:

"If Sun Hou had such a heart, there would be no Xiangshui Alliance, and my brother should have taken Hanzhong and left the Guanzhong, why should he go around here?"

"But all this is nonsense, it is useless to talk about it, and it is useless to talk about it."

"It can be seen from the words of the light curtain that even with the merits of Jingzhou, this Lu Xun is still not convinced." Jiang Wan also felt that the limit of Lu Xunsheng:

"The upper is the master, the lower is the fierce general, and the victory or defeat with the lord is only five or five."

Liu Bei also recognized, and at the same time felt even more heartache in his heart: Where is this Lu Xun?

Jian Yong's secret note investigating the Lu family is still in his sleeve, but unfortunately this thin page does not have a single word "Xun" horizontally and vertically.

[Throughout the Battle of Yiling, this battle is also known as the battle in which Liu Bei gambled on the Mandate of Heaven.

At this time, although Cao Wei was strong, there were not many strong ones; Sun Wu swallowed Jingzhou and Guan Yu Yuban's surrendered troops, and his strength was greatly increased.

Sun Wu's attention and gaze were dragged to Yiling, and Liu Bei chose to send troops to the south of the river, not without the intention of luring Cao Wei to end with his body.

But it's a pity that the immature Cao Pi was played by the scheming Sun Quan once. 】

Kong Ming also opened the note written by Pang Tong in his hand: Pi Xun his father.
