Chapter 152 8. It's not my fault

Lu Xun delayed for more than a year before ordering an attack on Liu Bei. Wow, wow, a Wu army rushed towards Liu Bei's camp.The battle ended soon, and none of the Wu troops who rushed forward came back, and all of them were dead in the wilderness. Immediately, the generals who had just paid respect to Lu Xun resumed their contempt for Lu Xun, saying: "You really can't do it, this is just sacrificing the lives of soldiers for nothing." Lu Xun said with a smile: "My opponent is Liu Bei. Who is Liu Bei? Heroes of the world, envoys and masters. But, now I know how to deal with Liu Bei." Only fire attack!

Liu Bei and Cao Cao, these two have fought all their lives, but they have never made any progress.Their tactics are always stagnant, and their weakness is always that one.Therefore, the way to deal with them has not changed since the battle of Guandu in the early years. Lu Xun divided his generals into more than a dozen teams. The soldiers rushed into Liu Bei's camp with bundles of dry firewood in their hands and closed their eyes.Liu Bei's barracks are all built with flammable trees. I don't know why Liu Bei is reluctant to use mud and stones.This makes people suspicious, Liu Bei has been waiting for someone to burn him with fire.

This suspicion should be based on psychology.In Liu Bei's heart, he must also have many doubts about the destruction of Soochow.Let’s not talk about how much hope there is, even if it is really hopeful to be able to accomplish this goal, but the integration of resources in this huge Soochow will take time, and Wei Guo will definitely not give him time, maybe it will come from behind his ass In one fell swoop, he, Liu Bei, was all done in vain.The best result is to defeat Dongwu for Wei, and the worst result is to destroy the country along with Xishu. It is this kind of doubt and worry that makes Liu Bei's heart full of contradictions.And this kind of contradictory knot fell on the tactics, which is to build a wooden camp that is extremely easy to catch fire, giving Lu Xun a good chance to become famous all over the world.

This is a famous defeat in history.Liu Bei's more than forty camps were all breached, and many generals were killed.Liu Bei himself led a small group of people and fled frantically to the high ground of Ma'anshan. Lu Xun drove Wu Jun and chased them all over the mountains and plains from behind, saying that he only wanted to capture Liu Bei alive. Liu Bei's last remaining main force fell apart, and tens of thousands died.Liu Bei fled towards the territory of Xishu under the cover of night. "Jiang Biao Zhuan" said that Wu Jun was chasing after him, so Liu Bei had to use leather helmets and armor as raw materials, set fire to them, and burned down the mountain roads and plank roads in Yiling, only to escape his life.However, this statement was not used. It was said that the people who burned the leather armor and leather armor were the staff of the post station along the way. In order to cover Liu Bei's escape, they burned fire to stop the enemy.

Huang Quan, the general of Zhenbei in Western Shu, had a fairly strong force in his hands. Before he could help Liu Bei, he was cut off by the Wu army.Huang Quan had no choice but to surrender to Soochow. Meng Da, who was stationed in Shangyong, Hubei, also added chaos and surrendered to Wei. Liu Bei arrived at Baidi City, reviewed the gains and losses of the battle, and expressed his famous military opinion: "I can't blame me for this—this is God's will." After Huang Quan surrendered, someone suggested to Liu Bei to kill Huang Quan's wife and children.Liu Bei said: "Is there a mistake? This matter has nothing to do with others. I got Huang Quan involved. Why kill his wife and children?"

There are also rumors in Soochow that Liu Bei has killed Huang Quan's family.When Huang Quan heard this, he laughed it off and said, "Liu Bei and I are heart-to-hearts. He couldn't have killed my whole family. If you don't believe me, just wait and see." A traitorous general can still gain such trust. This is where Liu Bei's most attractive personality lies despite his many flaws. On Soochow's side, a great victory was fought, and the soldiers were so excited that they were about to cry, and they demanded to pursue Liu Bei until he was captured.Sun Quan asked Lu Xun for his opinion on this matter.Lu Xun said: "I'm sorry, I have already ordered the withdrawal of troops. The matter now is not whether Liu Bei can be caught or not, but to arrange defense work before Wei's sudden attack."

Sure enough, Wei Guo's three-way army took advantage of this time to invade the bandits, but because Soochow had already prepared for it, they didn't make a name for themselves, so they had to withdraw. It wasn't until this time that Sun Quan knew that none of Lu Xun's generals would listen to his orders.Just ask Lu Xun, why didn't you report this to me?Lu Xun replied: "Some of these generals are your confidantes, some are heroes, and some are your right-hand men. They are all talents that the country needs most. Even if I misunderstand me for a while, I should let myself be wronged."

Liu Bei was defeated by the up-and-coming star Lu Xun. Although his mouth was very firm, he was not to blame for this.But I was ashamed and embarrassed to return to Chengdu, so I hid in Baidi City.On this day, Liu Bei was lying on the couch, sullen all by himself, when it was reported that an envoy from Soochow had arrived.Liu Bei let him in and asked, "What's the matter?" The messenger said: "It is Zheng Quan, the doctor of the Taizhong, our boss asked me to come and discuss with you about surrendering." Liu Bei: "Who surrendered to whom?" Messenger: "Of course it's us Dongwu who surrendered to you Xishu. Because our boss knows that your Xishu is not like our Dongwu, and you are used to surrendering. You are relatively new to the business of surrender, so this time we surrender. "

"Oh," Liu Bei understood: "Surrender, don't you just talk about peace? Come in." The envoy Zheng Quan came in and drank and chatted with Liu Bei.After the chat, Liu Bei also sent a Zhongtai doctor named Zong Wei to Soochow to meet Sun Quan.From then on, the two reached an agreement: Enough of the trouble, and tired of playing.On Liu Bei's side, it is unreasonable not to send troops to avenge Guan Yu, but if Soochow is really defeated, it will not be a good thing for the two families.Therefore, the settlement of the two families began with this battle, and an alliance was formed to fight against Wei State together.

After dealing with this last great national policy, Liu Bei died.
