Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Everyone knows how important Xiangfan is, after all, the Longzhong couplet cited by Guangmu has been read.

But I didn’t expect that Xiangfan would be so important that a later dynasty would need to rely on it to survive!

"What does thirteen consecutive defeats mean?" Mi Zhu was confused about this.

Zhuge Liang had some guesses: "Since Yan's thirteen consecutive defeats led to the exhaustion of the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty, with the strength of a country and millions of soldiers, I am afraid that every battle will be bloody!"

"The Battle of Xuzhou, which is still fresh in Mr. Zizhong's memory, may not even be considered a vanguard battle in this kind of war to destroy the country."

Mi Zhu was dumbfounded. Although the Battle of Chibi was thrilling, he could just watch from the sidelines. However, Mi Zhu experienced the Battle of Xuzhou personally and it was indeed one of his nightmares.

A war to destroy a country, a disaster so great that it is unimaginable? Mi Zhu shook his head and expressed his deepest sympathy for the people of the Southern Song Dynasty a thousand years later.

After all, as General Huang said, how could the Mongolian aliens treat the survivors of the Southern Song Dynasty well?

Liu Bei did not comment on Zhang Fei's suggestion of handing over the state. When discussing the ownership of Nanjun in Jiangdong during the Spring Festival, handing over the state was also one of the conditions for negotiation.

Regarding this, he said vaguely: "Let's see what the light curtain says about Xiangfan first."

As for the one who hit Xiangfan and still had the nerve to proclaim himself emperor... everyone could only choose to ignore it. After all, the emperor was still in Xudu, right? How to say this.

[To talk about Xiangfan, we need to turn back the time first. After all, there must be a cause for such a war.

Moreover, the records of the area around Jingxiang in the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms before the Battle of Xiangfan are really paradoxical:

Zhou Yu died of illness in 210, and Jiangling City was lent to Liu Bei. Cao Cao sent Yue Jin to station troops in Xiangyang and take charge of Jingzhou's defense.

In 211, Liu Bei led more than 20,000 troops to leave Jingzhou and enter Yizhou.

Then time jumped directly to Cao Ren’s records in 214:

Cao Ren succeeded Le Jin as the commander of Jingzhou's defense. He also recruited General Nan and stationed troops in Fancheng. 】

"Le Jin, the first to ascend to the generals!" Liu Bei was impressed. After all, military exploits are the best business card.

Liu Bei was on the scene when he besieged Lu Bu in Xia Pi. He saw with his own eyes that Le Jin held the flag and ascended first, fighting to the death without retreating. Cao Cao also boasted to himself many times about this fierce general.

Moreover, Cao Cao fought against Guandu and conquered Yuan Tan and Yuan Shangshi. Le Jin had military exploits and was said to be brave and not afraid of death.

Zhang Fei was unconvinced: "Brother, no matter how fierce Le Jin is, don't you still have to shrink in front of us?"

From the general's point of view, Zhang Fei immediately sensed something was wrong: If Le Jin was still so strong in Xiangyang, how could he be transferred after four years?

Even ten years may not be considered a long-term position in such a garrison position!

Moreover, Cao Ren, who succeeded Le Jin, also retreated to Fancheng!

Sure enough, the light curtain continued:

[What happened during this time? Can't Cao Liuhe and Qi Qi play house for four years?

Although this historical fact was hidden by Wei historians following the principle of "no detail is required for victory, and Spring and Autumn style for defeat".

But from the few words in Wenpin Lejin’s biography, we can still roughly deduce the truth:

The record of Le Jin, a good general with five sons, is not ideal. 】

"ha!"

Zhang Fei patted his thigh:

"Hahahahaha!"

"If you win, you will be careful about everything, but if you lose, you will use spring and autumn brushwork!"

"This Cao thief is very united from top to bottom!"

"Five good generals, so good?"

Jiang Wan raised his head and glanced, but he also shook his head in his heart. Tai Shigong's writing skills were only three hundred years old, so this historian has already become a generation of Qi Bi?

[After Le Jin was replaced by Cao Ren, he was transferred to the Hefei War Zone. The holding time was later than Zhang Liao, and in the records of the Three Kingdoms, Le Jin's name is after Zhang Liao.

From the first-in-command in Xiangyang District to the second-in-command in Hefei District, this position transfer is already very illustrative.

Next, Le entered Xiangyang in 210, and Cao Ren stationed in Fancheng in 214.

If you go north from Jiangling, where Liu Bei belonged at the time, the order of the cities on the way is:

Jiangling → Jingyang (Maicheng) → Dangyang (Changban) → Linju → Xiangyang → Fancheng.

It is obvious that Cao Wei's defense line is shrinking. At least Xiangyang can no longer be used as a place to station troops and is no longer safe. This also proves the fact that Le Jin was beaten violently by the second master. 】

The 3D map of the light curtain once again showed its power. Even someone like Mi Zhu who knows nothing about the art of war can understand it.

I saw that after the Han River passed through Xiangfan from west to east, it became a north-south direction and merged into the Yang River in the east of Jiangling.

The direction of the Han River matched the mountains to the west, and a flat open space was carved out between Jiangling and Xiangfan, with several cities such as Linju scattered on it.

[Then we can try to speculate again from 210 onwards.

First of all, Liu Bei's side should be considered unstoppable after taking over Jiangling, after all, there are strong generals.

"Le Jin Zhuan" records that "Liu Bei also attacked Linju Changdupu and Jingyang Changliangda, and defeated them both."

In other words, Linju Jingyang was first captured by Liu Bei and then recaptured by Le Jin. But how did it recapture it in the face of Liu Bei's powerful generals?

There is no record of Cao Cao's supporting troops, but Liu Bei has records that Liu Bei entered Yizhou with 20,000 troops in 211.

So the facts are quite obvious. Liu Bei first suppressed Le Jin to fight, but then transferred troops to Sichuan. Jiangling lacked troops and the battle line was forced to withdraw. 】

"General Zhang knows things well, and it turns out that his joy in advancing is unfavorable for the war!" Huang Zhong praised, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Fei's keen sense of smell.

"Hey! I can't compare with the iron painting and silver hook of the historian of Cao Wei. Just one or two strokes will erase our achievements!" Zhang Fei looked sarcastic.

Judging by the time, Zhang Fei was also in Jiangling at that time. It is impossible to say that Zhang Fei's credit was responsible for the erasure of his achievements. How could he not be angry?

Huang Yueying didn't quite understand and asked in a low voice:

"In this case, we, the historian, should also record it later. After all..."

Everyone knows that after all, the lord later became emperor, and it was inevitable to appoint a historian to record the history of the country.

Kong Ming also couldn't understand: "This light curtain said that Liu Feng's biography was preserved in the Shu book, but there is no record in the Shu book?"

I don’t understand, but why does it feel like something is wrong?

[The above is the first stage of pulling, and this leads to the second quarter: Wen Ping comes to help.

"Wenpin Biography": He and Yue Jin attacked Guan Yu in Xunkou, and they were successful. They were granted the title of Marquis of Yanshou Ting, and they also attacked the rebel general.

"Le Jin Zhuan" does not have any record of the battle of Xukou.

As a battle between Wenpin and feudal lords, it is certain that Wenpin must have made great contributions, but Le Jin did not even mention it in his biography.

How did you say that? Failure is the Spring and Autumn style of writing. From this we can further deduce:

After the defense line shrunk, Erye attacked with navy troops. Le Jin stopped Erye from Xunkou, but was beaten violently.

At the critical moment, the reinforcements Wenpin arrived to support him successfully, and he was successfully granted the title of marquis due to his contribution.

However, it should be noted that this credit is purely for support and did not defeat the second master, because Wenpinzhuan's final record of this battle is:

"He also attacked Hanjin and burned his ships in Jingcheng."

Hanjin and Jingcheng are both due east of Dangyang, relying on the Han River, which means that the position of the battle line has not changed. 】

Huang Zhong squinted his eyes and understood:

"My lord took away the army's baggage, so Le Jin was able to capture Linju Jingyang again."

"Then General Guan will probably win a big victory against Le Jin."

"Faced with Le Jin and Wenpin joining forces, General Guan still kept them from making any progress!"

"I'm not as good as General Guan!"

Zhang Fei accurately grasped the key point: "Navy army?"

Thanks to [BBSTO] for the 5,000 gold and five baht reward!

Thanks to Mr. [Chen Lao Hei Porcelain] for the 500 gold and five baht reward!

Thanks to [Heifu 1] for the reward of hundreds of gold and five baht!

Jingxiang belongs to the pre-campaign of Xiangfan. After all, Guan Yu's navy cannot suddenly grow out of the ground.
