The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 314 Changing time and space, the ending is still the same
Sun and Liu were in a stalemate in Yulin. From the stalemate in the early spring of the 22nd year of Jian'an (217) to the midsummer, they fought fiercely for five or six months.

During this period, Liu Bei failed to attack the city several times, and he had nothing to do with Yulin City, which was like a tortoise shell.

On the way, Fazheng, the army teacher, once offered a plan: to divide the troops to go south to capture Jiaozhi County, and secretly lure the Wu army to cut off the grain road.

This is a conspiracy.

Although Lu Meng knew it was a trick, he had no choice but to go out of the city to fight.

The two sides fought a fierce battle eighty miles south of Yulin City. Sun Quan's army was defeated and retreated to the city leaving behind thousands of corpses.

In order to prevent Liu Bei from doing this again, Sun Quan listened to Lu Meng's suggestion and reactivated the young general Ding Feng to sit in Jiaozhi.

In this way, Fazheng no longer has any tricks.

The two armies were at a stalemate.

When the news of the battle spread to the Wei army camp, Cheng Yuanzhi secretly lamented the excitement of the battle, but at the same time he was quite emotional.

Fazheng is indeed a good strategist, but no matter how strong a strategist is, there is a limit to his talent. When encountering opponents of the same level, there are really not many strategies that can be used.

For example, Zhuge Liang met Sima Yi.

People in the later generations said that Sima Yi could only hide and defend, and he was not a commander. They didn't know that when he attacked Meng Da, the army marched for two days in a day, and the gods descended from the sky, killing Meng Da by surprise, and died with hatred; At the time of Gongsun Yuan in Liaodong, the march was as fast as lightning, and with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, Liaodong was flattened in ten months.

The same is true for Zhuge Liang. When he pacified the Nanman, he was almost omnipotent. He captured and released Meng Huo seven times, and directly defeated the opponent.

But when these two men who use soldiers like gods meet, it will really be like grinding tofu with a stick—dry grinding.

You can't do anything to me, and I can't do anything to you.

None of us use tricks (it doesn't work if we use them), we just stare blankly and wait until one side runs out of food and retreats.

Fazheng met Lu Meng at this moment, just like Zhuge Liang met Sima Yi in the original time and space, there was nothing he could do.

There is nothing to do.

When the other party can see through no matter what strategy you use, the scene is very embarrassing.

Moreover, there is still a slight gap in strength between the two sides, and they are not completely evenly matched.

Although Liu Bei's soldiers are sharp, Sun Quan is the one with stronger comprehensive strength.

Although Sun Quan now only has Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, the territory is about the same size as Liu Bei.But he took away more than [-] Jingnan soldiers from the four Jingnan counties safely.

These soldiers are real real-time combat power!
What is the war about?Isn't it financial and military strength?

Liu Bei poured all his power into the country, and he was able to form 20 soldiers and horses.Fifty thousand people will be left to guard various parts of Yizhou to guard against Hanzhong.

Because Liu Bei did not occupy the relationship between Hanzhong and Nanman, so his upper limit of troops is only so high.

But Sun Quan is not the case.

Sun Quan currently has an army of 30, and he has an advantage in terms of absolute military strength.

In addition, there are geographical factors for local operations.

Therefore, as long as this battle is stalemate, the balance of victory will tilt infinitely towards Sun Quan, who is at home.

Fortunately, Liu Bei still has Fazheng as his assistant, so he won't be able to reproduce the scene of the battle of Yiling in the original time and space, and be burned to death by a fire.

Thinking like this, Cheng Yuanzhi was full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

Time and space have been changed, and the location has also been changed. Will the famous scene of the Battle of Yiling still be staged?

no one knows.

Unknowingly, time quietly came to July.

The summer heat scorched the earth.Liu Bei couldn't bear the high temperature for a long time, so he moved his camp to the dense forest outside the city.

On this day, Liu Bei inspected the camps and saw that the soldiers of the battalions could hardly withstand the scorching heat, and most of them suffered from heat stroke, so he ordered all the troops to move all the tents to the mountains and forests.

Fazheng was shocked when he saw this, and hurried to persuade him.He even cited the case of Zhuge Liang defeating the Wei army in Xinyehuo Attack to persuade.This made Liu Bei change his order.Regroup half of the soldiers and horses back into the wide area.

Fazheng soon came up with another idea. Every seven days, the soldiers who had been cool in the forest were transferred to camp under the scorching sun, while the soldiers under the scorching sun went to the dense forest to enjoy the coolness.

This reciprocation can be regarded as a solution to the problem of hot weather.

But there are still hidden dangers. After all, half of the people live in the woods.

Once encountering a fire attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

During several confrontations, Fazheng knew that Lu Meng was by no means mediocre, and he must be able to see the weakness of the Shu army, so he came up with the idea of ​​persuading Liu Bei to retreat.

the other side.

Lu Meng saw that Liu Bei's army was divided into two, half of them were stationed in the open space outside the city, and the other half were stationed in the forest.I secretly said:
"The sky is dry and hot, but Liu Bei is camping in the forest. If I go to rob the stronghold tonight, I will succeed in one fell swoop. If I am lucky, I may be able to capture Liu Bei. If so, it will be a great achievement, and then I will be able to catch Liu Bei." I am famous all over the world, no one dares to underestimate me, Wuxia Ameng."

Thinking of this, Lu Meng was overjoyed, with a smile on his lips, he thought over the night attack plan over and over again, perfecting the omissions.

At three o'clock that night, Lu Meng divided his troops out of the city in five ways, and quietly lurked outside Liu Bei's stronghold. Seeing the right time, he swarmed up, set fire to fire, shouted and shouted, and instantly shouted loudly, scaring the Shu army out of their wits and causing chaos.

For a while, fire and rain flew, tung oil overflowed, and the Shu army camp was a sea of ​​flames.

It just so happened that at night the south wind blew strongly, and the wind helped the fire to grow even more violently. Only the soldiers of the Shu army cried and rolled their noodles, and ran around with their heads in their arms.

Since the war between the two sides, Wu Jun has been pressed and beaten for half a year, and he has long been suffocated. Now that he is expected to avenge his shame, everyone's morale is as high as fire, and everyone is fighting to be the first. , Killed Liu Bei's army head to tail, and the soldiers didn't know where they would be, and they didn't know if they would survive.

Liu Bei's army's morale was low due to failure in half a year, and he encountered the enemy in a hurry.

In addition to the sea of ​​flames, there is no way of life, how can he be the opponent of Lu Mengjun who is bent on revenge?
As soon as the soldiers from both sides came into contact, Liu Beijun couldn't resist and fled in all directions.

Among the chaotic army, fortunately a few generals tried their best to protect them, and they just protected Liu Bei and escaped to the west.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Meng sent out all five soldiers and horses, shouting loudly in the wilderness: "Liu Bei has escaped, Liu Bei has escaped!",
Half of the Shu army stationed in the mine was fighting fiercely with the Wu army, which was twice as large as their own, and gradually lost the wind. After hearing this, they all thought that Liu Bei had run away, and suddenly they had no intention of fighting again, and turned their backs one after another.

Lu Meng had already planned to take advantage of the situation to chase and kill Liu Bei and wipe out all the 10,000+ Shu troops. Unexpectedly, even though the Shu army was defeated, the fighting power of the cornered soldiers could explode in an instant, and instead killed the chasing soldiers of the Wu army.

Lu Meng knew that this was the principle of "the poor should not pursue", so he had no choice but to order someone to clean up the battlefield and clean up the mess.

It was around noon the next day that the fighting had just come to an end.

This battle of 10 people surrounded and wiped out more than [-] people lasted only half a day before and after, and ended with the disastrous defeat of Liu Bei's army.

In this battle, countless soldiers of the Shu army died in the sea of ​​flames, and their weapons, armour, staff, food and grass were burned.There are more than [-] soldiers who surrendered.

Fortunately, despite the disastrous defeat, many troops remained and rushed to join Liu Bei.

After the war, when Liu Bei saw that there were less than [-] lieutenant soldiers left, he couldn't help but burst into tears and was speechless for a long time.

I think that although Liu Bei has never fought a big victory in his life, he has never suffered such a miserable defeat.

A full [-] soldiers were killed in the flames.If the civilian husbands recruited are added, the number of casualties may be doubled.

With such a record, how would he go back to face the elders in Sichuan and the old ministers of Yizhou?
